The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 316 Doubt

Cui Hengyue didn't know what was going on in the study, she was still waiting for Cui Yongxuan to let her out.

But after waiting for a long time, Cui Yongxuan did not come.

Cui Hengyue couldn't wait, and shouted at the door: "Come here!"

Shouted several times, but no one answered outside, Cui Hengyue was feeling strange, but a small voice came from the window.

Cui Hengyue stopped shouting and turned to look at the window.

"despair!"

The window was opened, and the first thing that caught the eye was a white veil, followed by a pair of familiar eyes.

It's Mrs. Wen.

"Shh!"

Lady Wen signaled Cui Hengyue not to speak, jumped into the room gently, and then closed the window gently.

Walking lightly in front of Cui Hengyue, seeing her red and swollen face and the iron chains on her hands and feet, Mrs. Wen couldn't help but burst into anger.

"Cui Quan treats you like this? It's simply vicious."

Lady Wen grabbed the iron chain with both hands and exerted all her strength, but the iron chain did not move at all, showing no sign of breaking.

Not reconciled, she went to pull the iron chain on Cui Hengyue's feet again, but it still didn't break.

"Don't bother, you can't open it without a key." Cui Hengyue looked down at her.

Lady Wen tried again, and stood up after finding it was useless: "Why did that bastard Cui Quan lock you up?"

Cui Hengyue hesitated for a moment: "He found out that I sneaked out of the mansion this morning, and he punished me to copy the mansion rules.

"I didn't expect Ye Zhicheng, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, to be assassinated by an assassin early this morning. It happened that someone saw me nearby. He felt that this matter would be detrimental to the Cui Mansion, so he locked me up."

That's what happened.

Lady Wen was still calm: "Did you kill the minister of the Ministry of Industry?"

"Do you think I will kill someone?" Cui Hengyue asked without answering.

Mrs. Wen thought for a while and said affirmatively, "No, you won't kill people."

These words somewhat soothed Cui Hengyue's angry and wronged heart, she smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have already thought of a way to save myself, and I will be able to return to Jinglan Garden soon, you go back and wait for me first."

"My Jinglan Court was blocked, and everyone in Jinglan Court was also locked up. I ran out secretly, and I don't plan to go back."

"what?"

Although Cui Hengyue was surprised, she still did not forget to lower her voice.

After the initial surprise, Cui Hengyue felt that Cui Quan's move was reasonable.

"You should find a way to go back to Jinglanyuan. I made a deal with my father. He will soon persuade Cui Quan to let me out. When I come out, I will make Jinglanyuan return to normal."

Lady Wen turned her face aside, avoiding Cui Hengyue's sight, like a child who did something wrong but refused to admit it, and said in a low voice:
"I and I poisoned Cui Quan's tea just now. He has been poisoned now, and the study is in chaos. I guess the third master can't care about you anymore."

Cui Hengyue was so shocked that she lost her word for a moment.

Cui Hengyue was not shocked by Mrs. Wen's bold move. What shocked her was that Cui Quan was poisoned so easily.

"How poisonous is your poison? Can he still live?"

Now that it's all said, let's say it all.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wen turned her head and looked directly at Cui Hengyue: "This poison was given to me by Zhen Jiu, and it was also poisoned by Zhen Jiu's father back then. Moreover, this poison is strange, it is not something from the Northern Han Dynasty, and ordinary people have never seen it before. never heard before.

"Before he died, Zhen Jiu's father told him that Cui Quan and Concubine Shu were the murderers, and they were responsible for the poison.

"Cui Quan was poisoned by the same poison this time. If he is fine in the end, it means that he has an antidote. He was the one who poisoned and killed Zhen Jiu's father back then."

Lady Wen paused and reminded Cui Hengyue: "Zhen Jiu asked me to tell you, don't forget the promise to him."

Cui Hengyue: "."

It turned out that Zhen Jiu didn't believe her.

That's right, she didn't have a close relationship with Zhen Jiu, so it was normal for him not to believe her.

After a long time, Cui Hengyue said: "I will never forget the promise I made, and I will definitely keep the promise."

After the words fell, Cui Hengyue asked again: "How is the situation in the mansion now?"

Mrs. Wen: "The study is in a mess, Bai Qi sent someone to call for the uncle."

Hearing this, Cui Hengyue's face changed greatly, and her tone was urgent: "You hurry up, the uncle will soon seal off this courtyard and thoroughly investigate the entire mansion.

"If you still have this kind of poison in your hand, destroy it quickly, and destroy the clues left behind."

Seeing Mrs. Wen's reluctance, Cui Hengyue solemnly warned her: "You can't escape even if you want to leave the mansion now. Don't keep those poisons. Your life is the most important thing."

After struggling in her heart, Mrs. Wen nodded: "Okay."

Cui Hengyue urged her again: "Hurry back to Jinglan Garden."

"What about you?" Mrs. Wen looked at Cui Hengyue worriedly.

"I'm fine, they'll remember me, let's go."

Under Cui Hengyue's urging, Mrs. Wen walked to the window, turned over gently, and closed the window gently.

Front yard study.

After Cui Yongzong heard the news, he immediately ordered: "Zhu Lin, close all the gates of the mansion, only entering and not exiting.

"Zeng Ming, block the news and don't leak any news."

After giving the order, Cui Yongzong walked outside.

Mrs. Cui rushed over upon hearing the news: "Ah Lang, what happened?"

"Hurry up and go." After Cui Yongzong urged Zhu Lin and Zeng Ming to leave, he lowered his head and whispered in his wife's ear.

"what?"

Mrs. Cui's complexion changed drastically: "Did Dr. Chen pass by?"

"It's over, let's go too."

Cui Yongzong and Mrs. Cui walked quickly to Cui Quan's study room. At this time, there were only Mrs. Cui, Cui Yongxuan, Dr. Chen, Bai Qi, and Cui Quan lying on the bed.

"Mother, what's going on? Why did father faint suddenly?" Cui Yongzong looked at Mrs. Cui.

"I don't know either, let Dr. Chen have a look first." Mrs. Cui was confused and looked at the man on the bed worriedly.

At this moment, Doctor Chen finished his diagnosis, walked up to them and said: "Old Madam, Uncle, the Duke is poisoned."

"Poisoned?"

Cui Yongxuan walked over in amazement: "Impossible, my father doesn't seem to have the slightest sign of being poisoned, how could he be poisoned?"

Cui Quan, who was lying on the bed, was only pale and looked very weak, without any signs of poisoning.

Doctor Chen did not answer Cui Yongxuan's doubts, but said to him: "Third Master, please wait a moment, let me check the things in this study."

After speaking, he began to check the things in the study.

While waiting, Mrs. Cui asked Bai Qi: "Have the people who have been in and out of the study room today, and those who have had contact with the Duke's food, been controlled?"

"Reporting to the old lady, Liu Yang has controlled them, and the interrogation has already begun." Bai Qi replied respectfully.

Mrs. Cui suddenly thought of something: "Where is Yuan Niang?"

"Still locked in the wing."

"Go and see for yourself."

After Mrs. Cui gave the order, she explained again: "Not long after she was locked up, the Duke was poisoned, and she must have something to do with it.

"Go and see if she is still in the wing, and then check the wing carefully to see if there is anything unusual."

"Yes." Bai Qi took the order and left.

After Mrs. Cui heard it, she wanted to speak for Cui Hengyue, but Cui Yongzong quietly held her down, "Don't be impulsive, just look at it first and then talk."
