Chapter 930 Poison Soup

Qi Ning was talking to Chen Liangqiu when he suddenly heard a scream outside and frowned. Then he saw General Manager Hou almost stumble into the hall, his face turned pale and his mind was still in shock.

Chen Liangqiu frowned and said, "Mr. Hou, why do you want to shout like this?"

Manager Hou almost cried and said, "No, madam!" In desperation, he raised his hand and pointed out: "General Chen, something happened to her madam!"

Qi Ning felt a sudden heart. Wei Yujiang beside him was also shocked. Chen Liangqiu rushed forward a few steps quickly and asked almost sternly: "What's wrong with Madam?"

"Madam, Madam, committed suicide!" General Manager Hou trembled all over: "General Chen, you go and have a look!"

Chen Liangqiu grabbed General Manager Hou’s arm and shouted angrily: “General Manager Hou, what are you talking nonsense? The wife was still fine last night, how could it be possible!” He put General Manager Hou aside, even Qi Ning didn’t care about it. Feibu rushed out of the door. He moved with agile movement and was extremely fast, and he had already left the door in the blink of an eye.

Qi Ning and Wei Yujiang looked at each other, without hesitation, and quickly followed them out.

Although Chen Liangqiu's pace was fast, Qi Ning's pace was even slower. In a moment, she had reached Chen Liangqiu's side. Chen Liangqiu's face turned slightly pale, and his hands were clenched into fists. Qi Ning noticed that Chen Liangqiu's hands were shaking slightly.

After passing through the courtyard, I soon arrived outside the East Courtyard. Before I could see the courtyard, I heard crying sounds coming from inside. I rushed into the courtyard and saw two maids sitting in front of the door, crying continuously.

Chen Liangqiu rushed to the front of the door. The door was open. He was about to step in, but he seemed to think of something, stopped and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't cry!"

The two maids were so scared that they stopped crying. Chen Liangqiu asked in a deep voice: "Madam is inside?"

"General, Madam, Madam!" A maid raised her hand and pointed at the room, trembling all over, but she could no longer say the words behind her.

Qi Ning had already followed at this time and said to Chen Liangqiu: "General Chen, protect the scene!"

Chen Liangqiu understood Qi Ning's meaning, nodded, looked cold, and whispered: "Marty, the Grand Governor committed suicide, and now the wife committed suicide. This is definitely not simple, there must be something strange inside."

"General Chen doesn't have to worry." Qi Ning comforted him: "Wei Sishen is good at observing and wait for him to come together."

He and Shen Liangqiu are both martial artists, full of breath and extremely fast speed. Wei Yujiang and General Manager Hou were already pulled behind from a distance. Although Chen Liangqiu looked ugly, he did not rush into the house. After a while, Wei Yujiang had already entered the yard. General Manager Hou had entered the yard after another moment.

Chen Liangqiu then looked at Qi Ning. When Qi Ning saw Wei Yujiang and General Manager Hou arrived, he nodded slightly. Chen Liangqiu was the first to enter the house, and Qi Ning followed closely behind.

As soon as he entered the room, there was the main hall. Chen Liangqiu looked to the left, and the door was also open. He took a deep breath and then walked slowly over. Qi Ning followed behind and entered the room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw that the inside was divided into two parts. The outside half was very simple with tables and chairs. There was a large screen in the middle to separate the back half of the room. There was an entrance on both sides of the screen, which could enter the back.

If it were on weekdays, as Mrs. Chen’s dormitory, except for Dan Tai Zhilin, no man could be allowed to enter it. However, if such an amazing thing happened today, there would naturally be no more taboos.

Chen Liangqiu and Qi Ning turned behind the screen and saw a beautifully decorated large bed that occupied almost half of the space behind, and the gauze tent was hung with hooks, so the scene on the bed could be seen clearly.

A woman with a white body was lying quietly on the bed, with her hands on her lower abdomen, and her left hand was pressed on her right hand, silently and silently. On the woman's face, she was covered with a veil. The veil was very thin, so she could vaguely see the appearance of the woman.

At this time, Qi Ning heard the footsteps behind him and turned around. Wei Yujiang followed him closely. At this time, General Manager Hou snatched him from behind, knelt on the ground "thump" and cried: "Madam, why are you so unthinkable? What should the young master do when you leave!"

Chen Liangqiu walked to the edge of the bed, clenched his fists with his hands, and his body was shaking. He stared at the motionless woman on the bed. Qi Ning looked cold and at this time he had already discovered that a trace of blood was overflowing from the corner of the woman's lips, but the blood was obviously dry.

Qi Ning turned his head and gave a wink at Wei Yujiang. Wei Yujiang nodded, walked forward, bowed to Chen Liangqiu, then bowed deeply to the woman on the bed, and said respectfully: "Mrs. Chen, offended!" He leaned forward and looked over. Then he added a silver needle in his hand. He carefully put the silver needle over. Chen Liangqiu raised his hand, as if he wanted to stop it. His lips moved slightly, but he finally said nothing and slowly lowered his hand.

Wei Yujiang gently stabbed the silver needle into the blood vessels on Mrs. Chen's neck and quickly pulled it out. Soon, several people saw that the silver needle had changed color.

"Poisoned?" Qi Ning's heart was shattered.

Wei Yujiang looked at Mrs. Chen's face again, then turned around and walked to Qi Ning, and said softly: "Mr. Chen should have died of poisoning."

Qi Ning looked at General Manager Hou and saw General Manager Hou crying and coughing twice before asking: "General Manager Hou is so sad, I have two words to ask you."

General Manager Hou raised his sleeve and wiped his tears, looked at Qi Ning, and Qi Ning asked, "General Manager Hou said just now that his wife committed suicide?"

General Manager Hou said in a crying voice: "Justice Chen knew that the Marquis came here to see his wife, so he asked the old slave to report to the wife. After the old slave came, let Chuntao!" He raised his hand and pointed to the outside, "Chuntao is outside. It is hard for the old slave to go directly to report, so he asked Chuntao to inform him. After Chuntao entered the house, he quickly shouted out. The old slave rushed in quickly, and then saw the lady lying cleanly on the bed, with blood on the corners of her mouth!"

"Master Hou, why can you tell from this that the wife committed suicide?" Qi Ning stared at Manager Hou's eyes.

Manager Hou raised his hand and pointed at one place. Several people looked over and saw that the place where Manager Hou pointed was a dressing table. The dressing table was a few steps away from the big bed. The most conspicuous thing was that there was a jade bowl on the dressing table.

Wei Yujiang had quickly approached, gently picked up the jade bowl and looked at it, and soon turned back to General Manager Hou and asked, "General Manager Hou, is the wife poisoned? Did she drink this bowl of soup?"

Qi Ning also walked over at this time. Wei Yujiang held the jade bowl with both hands to Qi Ning. Qi Ning took it and saw that there was still half a bowl of soup left in the bowl, and there were two slices of Tremella at the bottom. The Tremella soup should have been clear and clean, but the remaining soup had a hint of brown-red color, which was obviously not right.

Mr. Hou said: "After I entered the house, I knew that things were not good. Seeing this soup, I saw that the tremlin soup was different from the tremella soup I sent before, I knew what was going on."

"After you entered the house, you saw blood on the corner of your wife's mouth, and then you saw that the bowl of soup was wrong, so you judged that the wife had committed suicide. Is that the reason?" Qi Ning looked calm and asked at General Manager Hou.

Manager Hou nodded and said, "Yes, but not just this!"

Seeing that General Hou’s expression flashed, Wei Yujiang frowned and said, “General Hou, being poisoned by this bowl of soup may not be a suicide. It may be someone who poisoned the soup. Why do you so easily determine that the wife must have committed suicide?”

Chen Liangqiu looked cold and said coldly: "Mr. Hou, you are the old man from the Jindao Hou Mansion. It is because you are loyal to the Dan Tai family that the old Marquis left you here to take care of the Grand Governor. Although you have been the General Manager of the Grand Governor's Office over the years, both the Grand Governor and the Lady have never treated you as a servant, but as respected you as an elder." He took a step forward, his eyes like a knife, staring at General Hou and said: "Now the Grand Governor has committed suicide, and the Lady has committed suicide again. Tell me, is there anything I haven't said?"

General Manager Hou shook his body and lowered his head. However, Qi Ning walked slowly over and said with a gentle voice: "General Manager, if you really know something, you might as well say it out loud to figure out these things. If the Grand Governor and his wife really committed suicide, that would be fine, but if there is really another reason, if you hide it or not, wouldn't you be ashamed of the Grand Governor and his wife?"

General Manager Hou raised his head, tears flowed from his eyes, and said sadly: "It's all the old slaves." He looked at Chen Liangqiu and said: "General Chen, you saw your wife leave last night and last night. After you saw her, the wife said something wrong to me. I didn't tell you in time, it's all my fault."

"What did the lady say to you?"

General Manager Hou said sadly: "Mrs. I gave me a small box. After I opened it, I found that it was full of gold, silver, and some silver notes. I was surprised at that time. My wife asked me to put them all away and told me that if something really happened to her, I would distribute the box of things to everyone in the mansion. Don't leave anyone behind. I also said that I thank everyone for the years!"

Qi Ning and Wei Yujiang looked at each other, while Chen Liangqiu stared at Manager Hou's eyes.

"When I heard the wife's instructions, I felt something was wrong and advised the wife not to think too much. The Grand Governor passed away and the wife was sad, but the young master was still there." Chief Manager Hou sighed: "The old slave advised the wife that for the young master's sake, she also asked her to take good care of her. She didn't say much at that time and told me to pack the box and not mention it to anyone, otherwise the old slave would not be able to hold her."

Chen Liangqiu took a deep breath and said, "Master Hou, Mrs. Hou has obviously thought of suicide. Why didn't you tell me last night? Even if the wife had a reminder, how can she hide such a big thing?"
