When it was getting dark, Hong'er walked in quickly.

"Master, the merchant who came to give gifts this afternoon was killed, and all the servants in the mansion were also silenced..."

Hearing this, Gu Zhao asked.

"Have you tracked down the murderer?"

"We found out who killed them and were about to arrest them, but they committed suicide by taking poison..."

Committing suicide by taking poison?

This is a trap, a trap set against Qin Hou Mansion.

The merchant came with great fanfare to give gifts, and after being driven away, he swaggered back home with the gifts. Not long after, everyone in the house was killed, and the gifts and valuables in the house were taken away.

"Have you ever opened the boxes of people who committed suicide by taking poison?"

Hearing his master's words, Qin Shiyi shook his head.

"We deliberately thought of a way to let the government officials find out that something was wrong with them and let them chase them. When the government officials saw them, they were not dead yet..."

Hearing this, Gu Zhao nodded.

"You did the right thing. If you chased after him, those people who were hiding in the dark would definitely catch you on the spot, and the murder and injury would be framed on you..."

"Our people stopped chasing them openly, but the people in secret found a secret passage in the house, and that secret passage has been destroyed..."

"The government has received a report and is investigating there now."

"it is good."

Just as Gu Zhao was about to speak, Qin Chen walked in.

"I already know about this. Leave it to me, there will be no problem. I will also investigate those gifts and matters..." Qin Chen held Gu Zhao in his arms and said gently.

"Okay." Gu Zhao raised his head and looked at Qin Chen. "Then I'll trouble you, husband."

Hearing his wife calling him husband and looking at him with admiration, Qin Chen lowered his head and kissed Gu Zhao on the lips.

"Go to the main courtyard."

Gu Zhao and Qin Chen went to the main courtyard. After dinner, Qin Chen talked about what happened today with Old Madam Qin and Madam Qin.

After hearing what Qin Chen said, both Old Lady Qin and Marquis Qin's wife felt that someone was trying to frame Marquis Qin's mansion. Who would send a gift so ostentatiously? Besides, they didn't even know the businessman.

Madam Qin said with a slightly gloomy expression.

"There has been such a big commotion in the court these past two days. Now this man has given gifts so ostentatiously and his entire family has been wiped out. Tomorrow there will definitely be an imperial censor who will impeach our family."

"Mother is right. Fortunately, Zhao'er's people found something wrong and led the government officials over. Otherwise, our people would have been regarded as murderers..."

The Qinhou Mansion has a century-old foundation and a rich history. How could they do something that would harm the people just for a little profit? The person behind the scenes really had such a sinister and vicious intention.

As Lady Qin Hou spoke, she looked at Gu Zhao and nodded at him with praise on her face.

"Although we had rules before, sometimes people still find loopholes. After Zhao'er took charge of the household affairs of the mansion, he strictly followed the rules of the mansion. Only then was we able to avoid danger this time. Chen'er, you really married a good wife."

"Mother is absolutely right."

Qin Chen also smiled and echoed his mother's words.

Hearing the praise from his mother-in-law, Gu Zhao said with a smile.

"How can a daughter-in-law be as good as my mother says."

Madam Qinhou looked at Gu Zhao and said with a smile.

"We, the Qinhou Mansion and Chen'er, are lucky to have such a good wife like you."

Old Madam Qin also nodded in agreement.
