The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

"Okay, ma'am."

The personal maid Mingyue nodded and immediately started to handle the matter.

Mingyue had just walked out of the room and closed the door. She stood in the corridor and looked around. After noticing that no one was there, she quietly walked away.

But she didn't know that at this moment, in the invisible dark place, Xuan He had already followed her footsteps.

Let's say that Mingyue followed the two lists given by Liu Manyan.

Go to the Hou Mansion to find two strong servants and discuss it with them.

Although the two servants were a little shocked, it was their master's order after all, so they followed Mingyue away.

They went to a very remote woodshed in the Hou Mansion.

"Well, as for Mingyue, who is not Mrs. Liu's personal maid?"

"She actually hangs out with the servants of the Hou Mansion without incident. What is this Mingyue going to do?"

Xuan He followed closely in their footsteps, carefully hiding her figure, and was not discovered all the way.

She knew just by looking at the movements of those guys that they must be up to no good.

As expected, Xuanhe followed him all the way.

Seeing Mingyue and two servants from the Qingdu Hou Mansion stopping in front of the woodshed.

Mingyue stepped forward, took out the key and unlocked the door.

Xuanhe saw a strange maid with disheveled hair and a gray face in the woodshed.

Xuanhe recognized it at a glance and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

is her? !
Isn't this the girl who came to Cuilanxuan that day to look for his wife and tricked her into going to the ancestral hall?

See this scene.

Xuanhe immediately understood clearly.

It seems that what my wife expected was indeed good.

The matter has nothing to do with this second lady!

Xuanhe thought for a moment and was about to raise her eyes to see the movement.

Then he saw the two servants and Mingyue working together to tie up the girl.

The reins have been hung on the rafters, obviously in a manner to kill people and silence them.

Of course Xuan He couldn't let them get what they wanted.

This girl is an important witness. Once she is silenced, the clues to the case will be lost.

Xuan He took action and appeared from the darkness, shouting:
"Stop, let her go!"

The two servants and Mingyue followed the sound.

When he saw that it was Mrs. Xu's personal maid Xuanhe, he immediately looked shocked and knew that something had been discovered.

For the moment, he didn't bother to silence himself, but instead called the two servants and said quickly:
"No, hurry up! You two, catch this girl, don't let her escape!"

After receiving the order, the two servants immediately walked toward Xuan He with fierce expressions.

But how do they know Xuan He's skills?

As soon as they met each other, the two servants were already beaten and fell to their knees.

Holding his belly, he kept howling.

Mingyue saw that her posture was wrong and just wanted to run away.

However, Xuan He quickly chased after him.

She took the rope and tied the two servants and Mingyue together.

When he looked back, he saw the strange girl shivering with fear in the woodshed.

That was an important witness, and Xuanhe couldn't let her run away.

She walked over, not caring about this girl's feelings.

Just pack up all these people.

Let's go back to Cuilan Pavilion first and wait for Xu Yaqin to show off.

"Ma'am, that's the way it is."

Xu Yaqin looked at the people in front of her, calmly listened to Xuan He's description, her expression condensed, and she confirmed:
"You read that correctly, is this really the case?"

Xuanhe saw it clearly, nodded and said:
"Of course, the three of them are preparing to kill people and silence them."

"If I hadn't taken action in time, I might have succeeded."

Although Xu Yaqin had some guesses, she was still slightly shocked when she learned that the truth was true.

I didn't expect that this matter was really related to Mrs. Liu...

Xu Yaqin raised her head and glanced at the strange girl to confirm that she had not mistaken her.

She thought for a moment, knowing the stakes were high.

Just based on the fact that Fang Ge and her are the same concubine, we can't ask any further questions.

Xu Yaqin immediately made a decision and said to Xuan He: "Let's go, this matter should be taken away immediately."

"Bring them to the Marquis and the Ministry of Punishment, and the adults of Dali Temple will interrogate them. As for the truth, I believe the Marquis will make his own decision."

Xuanhe knew that this matter was of great importance and could not be delayed.

Without further ado, he and Xu Yaqin went directly to pay homage to the Marquis.

Sheng Lixuan is currently talking to Mr. Zhang from the Punishment Department and Mr. Ye from Dali Temple.

and Sheng Yue were discussing the case of the Qingdu Marquis Mansion.

They have been searching here for so many days, but the murderer has never been found.

Now even Ye Jing was a little confused. He muttered to himself, a little confused.

"That's not right. Logically speaking, if this news comes out, the murderer cannot sit still and wait to be killed. He will definitely be ready to take action..."

"Why is the Qingdu Marquis Mansion still so peaceful?"

This was different from what Ye Jing expected.

The few of them are having a headache here and are at a loss to do anything.

Suddenly, there were servants outside asking for a meeting, and they hurriedly reported:

"My lords, Lord Marquis, Mrs. Xu would like to see you."

"If you want to see me, just ask for me to see you. How can you behave in such a panic?"

Sheng Yue felt a little unhappy when he saw that this person was so flustered when reporting the news, which violated the etiquette and dignity of the Qingdu Marquis Mansion.

The servant swallowed his saliva and then slowly said:
"No, no, Second Master, Mrs. Xu, she also tied up a group of people."

Kidnapped a group of people? !
Hearing this news, Sheng Yue was not the only one who frowned.

Even Sheng Lixuan, the two adults from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple were stunned on the spot.

Sheng Yue's expression changed slightly and he asked Sheng Lixuan softly:
"Brother, what kind of tricks is Mrs. Xu doing? Do you still think things in our Marquis' residence are not chaotic enough?"

Sheng Lixuan seemed to understand.

He interrupted Sheng Yue.

"You and I both know who Mrs. Xu is. She doesn't seem to be such a reckless person. She must have something to do when she comes to see me."

Sheng Lixuan said to the servant:
"If Mrs. Xu wants to see you, please let her in."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

The servant quickly walked out, and after a while, Xu Yaqin appeared.

Behind her, the personal maid Xuanhe pulled a rope.

The two men and two women were tied behind the rope.

Even Ye Jing was stunned by this posture.

No, are all the maids of Mrs. Xu’s family so tough?

Sheng Lixuan was slightly stunned when he saw this scene, and he quickly asked Xu Yaqin:
"Mrs. Xu, what are you doing?"

"What mistake did these servants make? Why were they kidnapped?"

Xu Yaqin kept the story short and explained the reason directly.

"Master Marquis, haven't you and your lords been discussing the murderer of Butler Song? Aren't I here to solve the case for you?"

"Crack the case?"

Sheng Lixuan and Ye Jing looked at each other.

It seemed that the two of them were still a little confused.

Xu Yaqin didn't bother to show off, and directly greeted Xuan He and said:

"Xuan He, please explain the whole matter in a nice voice in front of the Marquis and all the adults."

"Okay, ma'am."

Xuanhe explained the whole story again.

Xu Yaqin asked Xuanhe to untie those people.

She pulled the strange maid to her side and corrected her:
"Master Hou, this is the girl who tricked me into the ancestral hall."

"Huh? How can it be unreasonable... Such a thing actually happens in my palace!"

I heard this one after another.

Sheng Lixuan couldn't help but feel angry.

Especially after he recognized that the woman among the four was Mingyue, the second lady's personal maid.

He seemed to sense something in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.

Instead, he called the two guards directly.
