Chapter 65 Investigating Suspicions

The sudden blockade and investigation made people in the Hou family panic. Whether it was the traitor with ulterior motives or the servants who were confused, they all felt the tension and pressure of the coming storm.

Song Xi's four groups of secret guards, a total of sixty-four people, were dispatched and turned the Dingbeihou Mansion inside and out, not daring to miss any clues or letting go of anyone suspicious.

Yu Yalan also specially provided three bottles of mantra pills to the Song family for interrogation purposes to help them find the real culprit behind the scenes more quickly and solve all potential dangers in the Hou Mansion.

An hour later, before the investigation of the hidden pile could find any clues, Yu Hongxuan was the first to discover the source of the poison.

"The pillows on the bed, the smokers on the table, and even the daily rouge and gouache all contain several different drugs. If you look at them individually, you won't find any problems, but when combined with each other, they become deadly poisons."

Yu Hongxuan placed all the poisonous objects found on the table one by one, then picked up the soup cup that Song's mother used to use, and explained with a serious face: "I heard that Aunt Song takes it every few days.

Qiuli ointment, I also found traces of chronic poison in the remaining ointment in this soup cup. The compatibility is complete and the dosage is not small."

After pursing his lips and remaining silent for a moment, he added another piece of more terrifying news.

"I also found ornaments and smokers containing the same poison in Brother Song and Mrs. Song's room. However, they were not placed there for a long time, so they did not have obvious effects for the time being. It seems that the people behind the scenes want to deal with them.

I'm afraid they are direct descendants of the entire Song family."

"Oh my god! Who is it...?!"

Song's mother, who was already mentally unstable, felt that her eyes were going dark. The news that her son and mother-in-law had also suffered disaster made her so panicked that she almost fainted.

Yu Yalan immediately took out the antidote and recovery pills and fed them to her, and Song's mother could barely hold on to her spirits.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn. Everyone looked at these horrifying evidences. While feeling angry and frightened in their hearts, they were also constantly guessing about the identity of the real murderer.

Song Xi and the old lady both tended to be Aunt Wu's mastermind. After all, it was she who deliberately rushed to Haitang Courtyard to stimulate Song's mother, which led to the tragic miscarriage that night.

As the daughter of the director of the Taiyuan Hospital, it is not surprising that Aunt Wu is good at medicine and poisoning. Moreover, she has never concealed her hatred and contempt for Mother Song.

But what could she gain by killing the mistress of the Hou Mansion? Dingbei Hou hated her so much that even if he suddenly lost his wife, there was absolutely no way he could put her right.

No one knew that this man was able to stir up trouble in the Hou Mansion. His methods and power must be more terrifying than they imagined.

“Let’s detoxify and treat your mother first, and we’ll discuss the rest later.”

Mrs. Song made a decision.

So the siblings helped the frightened Mother Song to a nearby wing for treatment and rest, while the Song family's ancestors continued to investigate the civil strife in the Hou Mansion.

In order to help Song's mother recover as soon as possible, Yu Hongxuan used acupuncture, elixirs and spiritual spring water. He worked attentively for two hours before the toxins in Song's mother were completely removed. However, the body's weakness still needed to be slowly adjusted later.

.

The coughing and dizziness she had suffered for years suddenly disappeared. Mother Song felt refreshed and felt very grateful to the Yu siblings.

If they hadn't happened to come to the Song family, the Hou family might have faced the end of their family being destroyed. How could they live up to such deep kindness and righteousness?

Even if the Marquis is at home, he will definitely appreciate such a junior. The Yu siblings are really the nobles of the Song family!

"Good boy, no words can express my gratitude to my aunt. If you have any difficulties in the future, please remember to discuss it with us. The Marquis Mansion will always protect you!"

Song's mother held the hands of the two siblings and made a promise solemnly and tenderly, with tears shining in her kind eyes.

Yu Yalan and her younger brother agreed repeatedly, calmed Song's mother's slightly excited mood with gentle words, and then started chatting with her about some relaxing topics.

As the sun set, everyone returned to the main courtyard to have a simple reunion dinner. It was supposed to be a warm and joyful reunion dinner, but the sudden changes during the day diluted a lot of the joyful mood.

After dinner, Song Xi immediately went to the secret cell to preside over the follow-up investigation and interrogation, while the others returned to their respective rooms to quietly wait for the final results.

The night gradually deepened, and in the quiet courtyard of the Hou Mansion, apart from the occasional chirping of cicadas and barking dogs, there seemed to be a few faint howls and cries.

In the dark corners, the cruel truth slowly surfaced in blood and tears.



The next morning, after breakfast.

Everyone in the Song family and the Yu siblings gathered in the main courtyard, preparing to learn the results of the investigation seriously and nervously.

Jiandong and Dao Hong reported the situation to their masters in detail with a pile of confessions and evidence.

There are currently fifty-two servants in the Dingbei Hou Mansion, twenty-three of whom are spies sent by other forces to lurk.

The eldest prince, the second prince, the two prime ministers on the left and right, as well as several high-ranking civil servants in the court, all set up hidden stakes in the Hou Mansion.

But the most chilling thing was a highly regarded steward of the outer courtyard.

"Most of the other hidden stakes are stupid and have not been able to convey useful information so far. They basically pose no threat."

"But Manager Wang has been in the Hou Mansion for more than 20 years. He is usually mature, prudent and prudent in handling affairs. He was favored by the old Lord Marquis in the past and has done many important things for the Hou Mansion. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a traitor planted by the late emperor.

, Mr. Hou was able to be tricked by Aunt Wu into using traditional Chinese medicine, and this steward Wang had done a lot of hard work."

"According to his account, the task given to him by the late emperor was to monitor the Marquis Mansion and completely eliminate the direct lineage of the Song family without leaving any trace. He also made some manipulations in the prince's marriage, specifically allowing the Xiang family, who hated military attachés, to marry into the family.

After the little lady was born, Manager Wang secretly gave Mr. Xiang the poison."

Song Xi's eldest brother Song Cheng was a fourth-grade military officer. He followed his father to the battlefield at the age of thirteen. Because of his bravery and fighting skills, he was able to kill the Tatars and retreated from three cities in a row. He was awarded the title of Northern Marquis for his military merits.

Crown Prince.

When Song Cheng was sixteen years old, he was matched by a matchmaker and married Xiang Kexin, the eldest daughter of his father's subordinate, General Xiang. After marriage, he thought he could live a happy married life, but he didn't want Xiang to be cold and distant, unwilling to get close, and gave birth to a child.

After that, her daughter completely refused the house and even took her daughter Song Lin back to live with her parents' parents, not caring what everyone in the Hou family thought.

In fact, Steward Wang most wanted to poison the Song family and his son directly, but the general's vigilance was spotless, and the distance to the northwest made it difficult to do anything, so he could only assassinate the women and children of the Song family.

"In addition, Manager Wang also secretly poisoned the pregnant wife, and then sent someone to encourage Aunt Wu to stimulate the wife to have a miscarriage. He arranged the family doctor and the doctors hired from outside, and he did not bother to treat the wife at all.
