The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

Xu Yaqin didn't say it clearly, but let it slip: "Go if you are told. You will know when the time comes. Now we can only take a gamble."

"Whether we can please the Marquis and make him change his mind about us depends on this person."

Xu Yaqin's eyes shone brightly and she carefully told Xuan He:
"However, you must invite this person back to me, do you understand?"

Xuan He assured her confidently: "Madam, just feel free to do anything I do."

Although Xu Yaqin was under house arrest, Xuan He was just a maid and still had the right to come and go freely in the Hou's mansion.

Ever since Sheng Lixuan became angry, Cuilan Xuan was surrounded by many women except for those sent to monitor Xu Yaqin.

There were also many guards from the Hou Mansion, guarding Cui Lanxuan, because Sheng Lixuan was worried about Xu Yaqin, lest she do something secretly.

After returning from Cuilanxuan, Sheng Lixuan didn't stay much longer, nor did he care about his sadness, feeling dejected.

He immediately joined the two clan elders to prepare to interrogate Song Wentong.

Ask this guy to reveal exactly what he has done, and at the same time press him to ask whether the portrait of the first lady has anything to do with him?

Sheng Lixuan must know the truth, and no one can stop him.

The two clan elders followed Sheng Lixuan quietly. They had no intention of caring about the portrait of the late madam because this matter had nothing to do with them in the first place.

What they were afraid of was that Song Wentong would continue to reveal his secret dealings with him.

If this were revealed by Song Wentong, the status of the two clan elders would be greatly compromised, and they would probably be punished by Sheng Lixuan.

When they thought of this possibility, both of their faces became anxious and nervous.

Sheng Yue followed them closely. The only thing he could do to help Xu Yaqin now was to force Song Wentong to admit that he framed her.

Came outside the room where Song Wentong was detained.

Sheng Lixuan said angrily to the two guards guarding the door:
"Open the door, I want to interrogate him."

The two guards took the order and immediately opened the lock with quick movements.

Sheng Lixuan stretched out his arm and pushed open the door. Everyone was stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.

Sheng Lixuan's eyes flashed suddenly, his pupils suddenly dilated, and his expression changed when he looked at Song Wentong in front of him.

The two clan elders were shocked!
Because they saw Song Wentong, who was imprisoned in the room, lying among the haystacks, his face pale.

The whole person is fragile and has lost his breath!
Song Wentong is actually dead? !

"This...how is this possible!" Sheng Yue looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't believe his eyes. He couldn't help shouting.

Sheng Lixuan couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and immediately stepped forward, stretched out his finger and made a gesture in front of Song Wentong's nose.

He said with a very bad look:
"Bastard, didn't I ask you to take good care of him? Why did he die?"

The two guards responsible for guarding Song Wentong shivered and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said truthfully:

"Master Hou! I don't know about this, I don't know about my younger brother!"

"The two of us have been guarding the door, and we didn't notice anything strange!"

"Yes, there was never any movement in the room, right? It was Butler Song who committed suicide out of fear of guilt."

Sheng Lixuan's tone became even more excited.

He made an impassioned speech to the two of them and said: "Suicide? How could it be suicide! You didn't see that he was foaming at the mouth and his hall was black. He was obviously poisoned. How could he say he committed suicide?"

Poison?

The two guards became even more frightened when they heard this, and they kept clearing the relationship and said:

"Master Hou! It's none of our business. We really don't know."

Sheng Lixuan couldn't restrain his anger.

This is really unreasonable!How dare someone commit murder in the Qingdu Hou Mansion in broad daylight?
Moreover, Song Wentong died at this time. Wouldn't it mean that he was the murderer who destroyed the portrait of the late Madam without any evidence? Wasn't it because there was no way to know the truth?

This is what makes Sheng Lixuan feel most angry.

As for Song Wentong's fate, sooner or later this cheating guy would be handed over to the government and sent to prison. Of course he didn't care in his eyes.

Sheng Yue had known for a long time that the relationship between Song Wentong and the two elders of the clan was unusual. If anyone wanted Song Wentong to die suddenly, it was obviously the two elders who were most beneficial.

He pointed his finger directly at the two elders and said:
"Two elders, what is going on?"

The elders of the clan were also confused and confused.

Although they really wanted Song Wentong to shut up, this incident was indeed not their fault!So he waved his hands and said to Sheng Yue:
"Second Master, don't bite people randomly. We really don't know about this."

Sheng Lixuan said:
"That's enough, you guys have been with me all the time, how could you have time to take action? The murderer who poisoned Butler Song must be someone else. This matter must be investigated clearly!"

Seeing the tragic death of Song Wentong, the two clan elders were not afraid.I didn’t know that there was such a cruel and ruthless person in this house.

Both of them were startled and felt a little nauseous.

Sheng Lixuan analyzed calmly, looked up at the two guards, and asked:
"You two recruited him truthfully. Is it true that nothing unusual happened? Didn't anyone come in to visit him during this period?"

The two guards thought about it carefully, suddenly became excited, and quickly replied truthfully:
"Master Marquis! It's true that there is no such thing. Except for the servants from the kitchen in the middle who bring him food, there is indeed no other movement."

Eat!

The two guards suddenly came to their senses and kept saying:

"Yes, Lord Marquis! Someone must have poisoned the food and killed Butler Song. That must be the case."

Sheng Lixuan quickly asked:

"Can you see clearly, does that servant look like a boy or a girl?"

The two guards, who had been serving as guards in the Qingdu Marquis' Mansion for many years, looked at each other and said with embarrassment:
"Master Marquis, she is a maid, but she is just a stranger. We have never seen her in the Qingdu Marquis' mansion, so we have no impression of her."

After hearing the descriptions of the two of them, Sheng Lixuan couldn't help but feel suspicious. It was a strange maid again. Could this be the same maid as Xu Yaqin described?

Sheng Lixuan frowned and realized that things were not simple.

He asked aloud again: "If I let you see that maid again, can you identify her?"

The two guards nodded and affirmed:
"Yes, Lord Marquis, I definitely can."

"Okay, I want to see who is so bold."

Sheng Lixuan raised his eyes and told Sheng Yue:
"Immediately, call all the female relatives in the Hou Mansion over and ask them to identify them one by one. We must find out the murderer."
