The old lady is reborn
Chapter 14 The scapegoat
The two girls told Song Ying that they started poisoning Manager He when Tian Anran just married him. Five years later, Manager He was almost unable to have sex.
But Shopkeeper He didn't know that he was poisoned and was somewhat ashamed to talk about it, so he avoided seeing a doctor.
Therefore, even though he later found out that his wife had a very close relationship with Nan'an Marquis Rong Ruzhi, because of his debt to his wife, he chose to let it go as long as it was not made public.
Song Ying was greatly surprised. She asked the two girls, since Manager He was poisoned, where did his son come from?
The girl said, "She was adopted from Shopkeeper He's eldest brother. She was brought in when she was very young."
After Amber and Beeswax died, Song Ying asked Nanny Zhang to report to the Jingzhao Yin.
The two girls died in strange circumstances, and they were free men, so their masters could not dispose of them at will. Because the dead were free men, Jingzhao Yin began to conduct an autopsy and investigate the case.
Rong Ruozhi was greatly surprised when he heard this. In his impression, these two maids had always been slaves and were placed in his wife's courtyard by Tian Anran.
It was precisely because of the information leaked by these two people that Rong and Tian’s dealings had been well concealed in the past, and Song Ying always believed what he said.
How did these two girls become civilians?
He called the housekeeper's eldest daughter-in-law to ask her about it. It turned out that more than half a month ago, because Song Ying was very satisfied with amber and beeswax, she returned their indentures and turned them into civilians.
Rong Ruozhi felt that he was in big trouble, and after hearing about this, Tian Anran felt that the two girls should be punished. They must have said something to Song Ying, which was why Song Ying promoted them like this.
He also blamed Rong Ruzhi for giving the two girls' deeds to Song Ying.
Rong Ruozhi asked unhappily, "If I don't give her a bond, how can I lie to her that I bought her a maid? How can I place her in her courtyard?"
Rong Ruozhi said to Tian Anran again: "Why are you still talking about this now? Why don't you think about how to handle this case?"
Tian Anran said: "What are you afraid of? The poison I gave you is hard to detect, and the coroner will only say that they had a heart attack.
I was planning to give Song Ying some of this poison, so let's just go all the way. Now that I've been turned into a cheap concubine by that shopkeeper who ruined my plans, it's better for us to just kill Song Ying and let the two of us be together openly."
Rong Ruozhi heard this and said, "You should be quiet for a while. Accidents keep happening one after another. If something happens to Song Ying again, the Emperor and Empress will send people to investigate thoroughly. It would be a waste of time to bring trouble upon yourself."
By then, not only will we both be imprisoned, but we will also lose the entire Nan'an Marquis Mansion.
Besides, what did the Sixth Princess tell you? Is it time to take action now? "
Tian Anran had no choice but to give up after hearing this.
The coroner of Jingzhao Yin was not as easy to deceive as Tian Anran thought.
The autopsy results listed two possibilities, including poisoning and heart attack. Because the two girls died almost at the same time, the coroner thought the possibility of both of them having heart attacks at the same time was low, so he was more inclined to believe that the cause was poisoning.
Following the source of the poison, they almost pulled Tian Anran out, which scared Rong and Tian.
Tian Anran simply pushed out his resourceful personal maid Liuyun as a scapegoat. After returning from the palace, Tian Anran ordered her to be beaten half to death, and now she was lying on the bed with only one breath left.
All the evidence of poisoning pointed to Liuyun. When the Jingzhao Yin's men arrived, Liuyun had already committed suicide.
This time Tian Anran managed to dodge it. She was also shocked and restrained herself a lot.
Song Ying took the opportunity to tidy up his yard and picked out two young girls, Wu'er and Shisan, thinking they could be used and gave them a try first.
The maid of the concubine of the silk shop owner poisoned two maids of Old Madam Rong in the Nan'an Marquis's mansion. Such a case seems to be prone to gossip.
The reputation of the Nan'an Marquisate was further damaged. After his son Rong Yunyue was impeached, his father Rong Ruozhi was rumored to have had an affair with someone's concubine at an old age, which led to this murder.
Later, the story became more and more bizarre. One version was: the old marquis and the concubine originally wanted to poison Madam Rong, but Madam Rong's two maids stood up to protect their master and were killed.
Shopkeeper He has not been interested in women for decades. He has devoted all his energy to the management of his silk shop. He has opened 20 branches in Kyoto. He is busy with business and designing and producing new fabrics every day.
But recently, because Tian Anran deceived the emperor at a winter banquet, her maid poisoned two people and then committed suicide, the business of the He family's silk shop plummeted.
Now the gossip about the affair between Nan'an Marquis and Tian Anran has spread all over the streets and alleys. In order to save his business and face, Shopkeeper He is thinking of divorcing Tian Anran.
The two of them have been in love for so many years, but He Jiabao will not remarry because of his poor health, so they have been living like this.
Now his business has been affected and his reputation has been ruined. Tian Anran has become a concubine, so it is very easy for Manager He to divorce her.
However, after years of thinking that businessmen can make money by being harmonious, Shopkeeper He felt that it would be natural for them to part ways amicably and be happy on both sides. So he talked to Tian Anran and said that he could give her some money for her retirement.
But this matter deviated from Tian Anran's expectations. Originally, if she could get the title of imperial merchant, become prosperous and well-known in the circle of noble ladies, she would want to get rid of Manager He.
As the legal wife, after her husband passed away, she and her "adopted son" who only wanted to study and not do business, ran the business left by her husband, and it was almost entirely up to her.
She has a son and is the legal wife and mother. No one can say anything if she takes over all the business and property in the name of her adopted son. Like Song Ying, He was used to death in his life.
But Song Ying showed up at the winter banquet and made Tian Anran a concubine. With this status, no matter whether Manager He was alive or dead, she could not take over all the business properties.
Now that He Jiabao wants to divorce her, how could Tian Anran be interested in that little pension money?
She couldn't be kicked out like this, she had to let He Jiabao see her value.
She said to Shopkeeper He: "But I still think it is very suitable for me to be your legal wife."
He Jiabao cursed in his heart, you big-headed ghost!
Then she said, "Do you want to take over the business of military uniforms for the three armies at the border? Summer and winter clothing are big orders for tens of thousands of people."
