She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband
Chapter 26 Framed
After Tang Qiaoyin's reminder, Doctor Cao walked over, opened the lid of the incense burner, picked up the unburned incense powder and smelled it.
Then, his expression changed, "There is something wrong with the incense powder."
"It's mixed with musk." Doctor Cao brought the incense burner over. "Pregnant women can't smell musk. The longer they smell it, the greater the harm."
He asked Aunt Zhou's maid, "When can it be used?"
The maid trembled and said, "Last night... Madam Zhou lit it when she went to bed."
Doctor Cao affirmed, "It took so long, this must be the reason."
Madam Qin's face changed and she shouted, "Where did the incense come from?"
Before the maid could answer, Tang Qiaoyin exclaimed "Huh".
"Isn't this the incense you asked Cuiyu to give us last night? The name of the shop is on the incense burner."
Qin Changzhou snatched the incense burner and saw the three words "Xiangyunfang" engraved on the burner.
He stared at Li Jingwan with a fierce look on his face, "Is this from you?"
"My Lord, I gave it to you." Li Jingwan nodded, a little bewildered, "But there is nothing wrong with the perfume powder. There must be something wrong."
Qin Changzhou said coldly, "Doctor Cao said that musk was mixed in this. Do you still want to quibble? You don't usually use incense, why do you suddenly want to send incense to Aunt Zhou?"
Tang Qiaoyin interrupted at this time, "My Lord, the young mistress came to me yesterday and said that she had a headache and asked me to recommend some incense. She said she wanted to give it to the concubines in each room."
These words were like adding fuel to the fire, and Qin Changzhou became even angrier.
"You used the incense only as an excuse to give the powder mixed with musk to Aunt Zhou and harm the baby in her belly."
"Li Jingwan, you have such a vicious heart. You don't have any children, so you can't stand seeing your aunt being pregnant?"
Madam Qin looked unhappy and scolded, "Li Jingwan, I understand that you are not in good health and cannot get pregnant. Not only did I not let Yaoge'er be adopted, I also sent someone to find a famous doctor to prescribe tonic medicine for you. But you committed the seven sins of divorce, which is a disgrace to the reputation of the Li family."
Being accused like this, Tang Qiaoyin thought Li Jingwan would beg for mercy and panic, but she didn't expect that she remained calm.
"Madam, Lord Marquis, the things mixed in the powder have nothing to do with me." She said lightly.
"Do you think you'll be alright if you don't admit it?" Qin Changzhou said viciously, "If you don't confess, I'll report you to the police."
Hearing this, Li Jingwan smiled, which made Qin Changzhou feel uneasy.
"My Lord, if we report this to the authorities, then the old lady will be implicated."
"What do you mean?" Qin Changzhou frowned.
"The incense powder in the incense burner was given to me by the old lady."
"Impossible." Tang Qiaoyin cried out, "Madam, I wrote down the recipe for incense yesterday. You asked Cuiyu to go to the spice shop to make incense immediately. She put it in the incense burner and gave it to us last night."
Li Jingwan asked her, "Madam Tang, when Cuiyu went to deliver the incense burner last night, she said in person that it was filled with incense powder made in Xiangyunfang?"
"Of course..." Tang Qiaoyin said two words and then stopped, as if Cuiyu had indeed not said that, only saying that what she sent was incense.
Li Jingwan looked at Madam Qin again, "Madam, I went to your courtyard yesterday afternoon to talk to you. I said your incense smelled good, so you asked Madam Zhang to pack a lot of incense powder and asked me to take it back. Do you still remember?"
Madam Qin nodded, "Yes, that's true. Did you put it in the incense burner?"
Li Jingwan didn't answer and asked Cuiyu to explain.
Cui Yu said, "Madam, I went to Xiangyunfang to make incense yesterday, but the shopkeeper said that business has been good recently, so I have to wait a few days before I can pick it up. I only bought a few incense burners to take back."
"Young Madam said that the incense you sent is very useful. She asked me to put it in an incense burner and send it to the concubines in each room. I will send it to them after the incense from Xiangyunfang is ready."
Tang Qiaoyin's confidence in victory was immediately extinguished, like a newly lit charcoal fire being poured with cold water.
There is such a sudden change.
Li Jingwan suggested, "Old Madam, if you don't believe it, you can ask other concubines to bring the incense burner, and you will know after lighting it."
Aunt Liang immediately went to get the incense burner that Cui Yu had sent last night, "Madam, I haven't used the incense burner yet."
Madam Qin ordered someone to light some, and it was indeed the smell of incense in her courtyard.
Li Jingwan asked someone to fetch the incense burners of Aunt Tong and Tang Qiaoyin. After Doctor Cao checked them together, he confirmed that there was no problem with the incense powder in the incense burners of these three people.
Cuiyu added, "I was the first one to come to Aunt Zhou's courtyard last night. Aunt Zhou picked the incense burner herself."
In other words, even if there was an incense burner mixed with musk, there was no guarantee that Aunt Zhou would be chosen.
Then there is only one possibility.
After Aunt Zhou received the incense burner last night, someone deliberately mixed musk into the incense powder.
"Who is so bold?" Old Madam Qin was furious, "How dare you harm my grandson."
Tang Qiaoyin's eyes trembled.
Li Jingwan asked Aunt Zhou's maid, "After Cuiyu left last night, who came to see Aunt Zhou?"
The maid said, "Madam Liang and Madam Tang have been here."
Aunt Liang quickly distanced herself from the matter, "Madam, I just came here to talk to Aunt Zhou for a few words."
Tang Qiaoyin continued, "I also chatted with Aunt Zhou for a while."
Li Jingwan suggested, "Since only the two of you have been here, let's have someone search your yard to prove your innocence."
"Okay, search it then." Aunt Liang responded first, "Anyway, it's not me. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear."
Tang Qiaoyin also agreed.
Anyway, she has already dealt with the things, so they definitely can’t be found.
Mother Zhang immediately took the maid to search the two people's yard.
Qin Changzhou knew that he had wronged Li Jingwan and felt a little embarrassed, so he asked her a question specifically.
But Li Jingwan didn't give him any way out and pretended not to hear it, which made him so angry that he stopped talking.
After a while, Zhang's mother came in hurriedly, "Madam, we found it."
Aunt Liang and Tang Qiaoyin both widened their eyes, both thinking it was impossible.
Mother Zhang handed the box in her hand to Doctor Cao, who confirmed that it contained musk.
"Where did you find it?" Old Madam Qin asked angrily.
"I found it under Brother Fan's bed."
"Impossible!" Aunt Liang said in shock, "Madam, this is not my doing, it's not me!"
"Everything has been found, and you still don't admit it?"
Tang Qiaoyin did not forget to exaggerate, "Mrs. Liang, are you worried that Mrs. Zhou will also give birth to a son and compete with Brother Fan for favor?"
Aunt Liang caused Qin Guangyao to fail to hire a teacher, and she would not miss any opportunity to attack her.
"You're talking nonsense!" Aunt Liang roared, "I never thought of it that way."
During the argument, Li Jingwan spoke up, "I believe it wasn't Aunt Liang who did it. If it was her, she wouldn't have asked anyone to search her yard just now."
Aunt Liang was as if she had been pardoned. She held Li Jingwan's arm and was so moved that she almost cried, "Young Madam..."
"If it's not her, then who could it be?" Qin Changzhou didn't believe it, "Everything has been found."
Li Jingwan patted Aunt Liang's hand and pulled her arm away, "Of course she is the one who wants to frame her."
