Nanny Qin knew that only Ma's death from poisoning could divert everyone's attention at this moment, so she hurriedly exited quietly, wanting to have a look at Fuhaiyuan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the door, he saw the ancestor walking into Yong'an Yuan with a cane and many people.

Nanny Qin was stunned for a moment. The ancestor was already in front of her. She had no time to report and watched the ancestor rush into the lobby.

Mr. Cao was sitting facing the door of the lobby. When Mr. Ma, who was supposed to be dead, rushed in with a bad look on his face, he screamed in fright.

Everyone originally stood up to salute Ma, but they were confused by her scream.

Lin Mao saluted, came over to help Ma, and asked, "Why is the mother-in-law here?"

Ma shook off Lin Mao's hand angrily and said, "If I don't come, I will be poisoned to death!"

When Nanny Qin came in, she heard this sentence and couldn't help but feel guilty and break into a cold sweat.

Ms. Cao looked at Nanny Qin at the door with questioning eyes. Nanny Qin shook her head innocently. She didn't know what was going on!
The arsenic was put into the blood swallow by Nanny Qin herself after the Cao family tasted it in public, and she walked out of the gate of Yong'an Courtyard. She also watched Zhou Rui's wife carry it into Fuhai Courtyard with her own eyes.

Is there anything wrong with this?
As soon as Mrs. Ma came, she naturally took the main seat and pushed Mrs. Cao aside to stand.

Lin Mao came over and asked in surprise: "Mother and concubine said...poison?"

Ma sneered and said, "Poisonous!"

Nanny Luo, who was next to Ma, waved her hand, and a maid handed over a tray and placed it on the table next to Ma.

Doctor Ge, the doctor of the Lin family, stepped forward and inserted a silver needle. After a moment, he took it out and found that the silver needle had turned black.

Doctor Ge said: "This bowl of blood swallows is mixed with a large amount of arsenic, and it is purified arsenic! This is a highly poisonous poison that will seal your throat when it sees blood!"

Lin Mao took a breath. It was so poisonous that even an old woman like his mother and concubine, even a second-grade master like him, would have his hair curled up after taking it!
When Ms. Cao saw Mr. Ma, she was frightened. Only then did she come to her senses, and her clenched fists gradually unfolded.

So what if the old woman is not dead?
The only difference is that Yang Mu's crime was changed from "poisoning his superior" to "attempting to poison his superior".

No matter what, she was going to put pressure on Yang Mu today so that she would not be able to protect herself and go to the palace, lest she interfere with the Queen Mother's plan!

As long as the Queen Mother succeeds, even if the Lin family wants to close the door and punish Yang Mu, they can't!

As long as things are done today, tomorrow will be Yang Mu's death!
In fact, Queen Mother Sheng's intention was just to let Cao use things to prevent Yang Mu from going to the palace.

At times like this, an ordinary mother-in-law would just pretend to be sick and ask her daughter-in-law to take care of her illness, so that she could easily keep her daughter-in-law in the house.

But Ms. Cao knew in her heart that she had a bad relationship with Yang Mu, and there was a high probability that Yang Mu would not help her.

In addition, the Cao family had suffered successive losses during this period, and they also wanted to collect some interest from Yang Mu first.

The two reasons combined led to the scene today.

It's just that Mr. Cao didn't expect that Fuhaiyuan would not succeed as planned, so she was in a daze.

Now that she came back to her senses, she heard what Doctor Ge said, took a step forward, and said with surprise: "Purified arsenic? I'm afraid not many pharmacies in the capital have it, right?"

Doctor Ge turned around and replied: "What the princess said is that this kind of arsenic is strictly controlled by the imperial court. In the entire capital, I am afraid that only the Bai Family Pharmacy and Cao Family Pharmacy have it."

Mrs. Cao seemed even more surprised and asked, "Is there one in Cao's pharmacy too?"

Doctor Ge said: "The Bai family is the richest man and an imperial businessman. The things are tribute to the imperial hospital in the palace. They must not dare to sell them. The Cao family supplies this purified arsenic to the Shanglin Garden of the princess's father, Mr. Cao, for pest control. It should and will not be sold.”

Ms. Cao frowned and said, "That's strange." She ordered, "Go to Cao's house and Bai's house and ask, has anyone bought arsenic recently?"

Lin Mao took his waist card, gave it to a maid, and said, "Ask Butler Feng to send someone to ask with this."

The maid hurried away.

Ma gave a cold look to Cao and said, "This arsenic appeared in the blood swallow sent by you from Yong'an Institute. How do you explain this?"

Mrs. Cao immediately complained, "Mother-in-law Mingjian, I tasted this blood swallow in front of everyone before I ordered it to be sent! If it was poisonous, wouldn't I have been dead long ago?"

At this time, everyone naturally remembered what happened to Ms. Cao when she tasted the bird's nest. Lin Shan and Lin Qiuchen immediately came out to testify for their mother.

Lin Mao's face darkened, and he never intervened in the internal fights, thinking they were just petty quarrels between women.

But now, he even used poison and used it on his mother. He couldn't bear it!
Lin Mao turned around, looked at Nanny Qin, and said, "Since the princess was not poisonous when she ate it, she must have been poisoned along the way."

Aunt Qin was so frightened that she knelt down and cried out according to the lines: "Your Majesty is aware of it! As soon as the old slave walked to the lake with the blood swallow, he met Zhou Rui's wife from Chengqiyuan! She was the one who had to be fortressed. The old slave’s silver is for sending the blood swallow for the old slave!”

Lin Mao looked at Yang Mu and asked, "Is this the case?"

Yang Mu said: "You can call me and ask."

Lin Mao narrowed his eyes and ordered someone to find Zhou Rui's wife.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Lin Mao asked Nanny Qin to explain what happened by the lake.

Aunt Qin then said: "That Zhou Rui's wife said that the imperial concubine was very clever and scheming. She threatened her loyalty with Yinshuang's life in her hand. She also said that she wanted a chance to show her face to her ancestors and wanted to flirt with her daughter. Leave Chengqiyuan!"

She took the pieces of silver and silver bracelets in her arms and said, "This is what she forced on the old slave. It was really Zhou Rui's wife who wanted to give blood swallows to the ancestors! The old slave also felt pity for her, so she agreed." !”

Mrs. Bao listened to Nanny Qin's nonsense and glanced at Mrs. Cao thoughtfully. Is this idiot finally using his brain to play tricks?

Ever since Mu Yatou married in, the Cao family has always used status to suppress her. Now she finally found that she could no longer suppress her daughter-in-law with her status, so did she use the real back-house method?

Is it too late?

The big room here was so noisy that it even alerted Mr. Ma, but the people in the second room didn't seem to want to get involved. They just expressed their concerns about Mr. Ma, and the rest were just watching the show.

Mrs. Bao looked at the second room with a subtle look.

Are you waiting for the big house to suffer losses for both sides, and then take advantage of it?

The second master Lin Fan's usual signature smile disappeared at this moment, and he said to Ma in a gentle voice: "Mother and concubine, please calm down, something must have gone wrong. My sister-in-law is the most filial person, how could she poison my father? Have you forgotten? Yes, when my sister-in-law was just married, she served my mother and concubine day and night."

After listening to Lin Fan's words, Yang Mu seemed to add fuel to the fire rather than turning off the flames. She looked at him with a half-smile.

It seems that the second wife wants Cao to win more. Is he afraid of his own identity or his own methods?

Well, I don’t have any means, I just rely on the old lady Bao.

It seems that the second wife does not want Lin Xiao, the prince, to take power, nor does he want to hold the throne in his own hands.

Also, taking over Prince Ding's Mansion from his brother and taking over from his nephew are completely different things. (End of chapter)
