famous eldest daughter

Chapter 686 Conspiracy
As he finished speaking, his head popped out of the sedan, "Isn't this my home? Is it your home?"

It was Dong Ce who spoke. Through the curtains raised by Dong Ce on the sedan chair, Madam Xiao saw the eldest lady Dong Xueyi and the prince's wife Bai Yuetang inside. She was so frightened that her legs trembled, "Shi...the prince..."

Dong Ce gave him an uneasy look, and said, "Why don't you open the door quickly, why, do you want me to come down in person?"

The boy said, "Don't dare, don't dare." He opened the door and stood on one side, fearfully letting in the most important people in Yongninghou Mansion.

Dong Ce is the future male master of the Yongning Hou Mansion, so they are naturally afraid of him.

Although Bai Yuetang is not recognized and accepted by the Bai family, and even makes things difficult for her in every possible way, she is protected by Dong Ce. In all likelihood, the future mistress of the Yongning Hou Mansion is Bai Yuetang. As servants, of course they dare not mess with her. .

As for Dong Xueyi, everyone knows that she was kicked out of the mansion by the Bai family. However, because Dong Xueyi helped the Bai family manage the Yongning Marquis Mansion in those years, her majesty has long been imprinted in the hearts of the servants. Dong Xueyi's fear has almost become a conditioned reflex.

The sedan stopped at the second door. Dong Ce jumped out of the car first and helped Bai Yuetang and Dong Xueyi down one after another. The three of them rushed towards Dong Xueruo's house.

Not to mention how the three of them were heartbroken and filled with grief and anger when they saw Dong Xueruo's body. Just as they were weeping like blood, a single dancing lamp lit up in the study of the dark fourth prince's mansion.

Xiao Yu yawned and sat down on the large pear wood chair behind the desk. "What happened?" he said to a man in gray clothes standing in front of him with a respectful expression.

Behind Xiao Yu, Ming Lu looked at the man with a resentful look on his face, with a stern expression on his face: If you can't tell the truth, see how I deal with you!
Yesterday, His Highness the Fourth Highness kept him up all night. Today, His Highness is finally at peace. You are here again, and you are preventing anyone from having a good night's sleep!

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, the man in gray clothes immediately reported back: "Your Highness, something happened in the Yongning Marquis Mansion."

When Xiao Yu heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he looked straight at the man.

The Marquis of Yongning had no idea, let alone the Bai family. He was worried that the Yongning Marquis Mansion would be used as a weapon to criticize him and Concubine Hui, so Xiao Yu specially sent secret guards to keep an eye on the Yongning Marquis Mansion.

When I heard his words at this moment, how could I not be frightened and asked, "What's wrong?" His tone couldn't help but be solemn.

"Tonight, the third lady of the Yongning Hou Mansion was poisoned and died. The third lady died in the house of Aunt Wan, the Marquis's new concubine. It was just the scene of the crime, and the Marquis of the Marquis was also there. After the Marquis came back from outside, for some reason he After some investigation, it was determined that Madam is the real culprit."

"In Aunt Wan's house, in anger, he beat the wife half to death, and then made a speech, saying that he wanted to divorce his wife, and also said that the concubine of the Minister of Punishment happened to fill his house."

Xiao Yu listened to his reply word by word, so startled that his temples twitched.

Xueruo was poisoned and died...

Although Xiao Yu didn't like Dong Xueruo because of her tricky temperament and her hostility towards Gu Yuqing, she was his cousin after all. Hearing the news so suddenly, his heart couldn't be relieved for a while. That's the tone.

Even though Bai is brainless, she is also selfish and narrow-minded. She can only see gold and silver money with her eyes, but Xueruo is her biological daughter. Xiao Yu cannot believe that it was Bai who poisoned Dong Xueruo.

However, what shocked Xiao Yu even more was that his uncle Dong Yuan actually said that he would divorce the Bai family and marry the concubine of the Minister of Punishment to fill the house.

The Minister of Punishment...that is Xiao Yi's loyal follower.

As his uncle, Dong Yuan married the daughter of the Minister of Justice... Xiao Yu smelled the conspiracy for a moment, and couldn't help pinching the armrest tightly with his hands resting on it.

His heart was filled with fear, but he did not interrupt the gray-clothed secret guard's words.

"Not long after Yongning Hou left Aunt Wan, the housekeeper of Yongning Hou's Mansion came back. He went in and didn't know what to say. He went in for about half a stick of incense. Before he came out, a maid in front of Aunt Wan came out and left. At Aunt Wan's place, I hurried out of the mansion and headed straight to the residence of His Highness the Third."

Originally, he wanted to report the matter of the Marquis of Yongning in the morning. After all, even though the matter made one's scalp tingle, it was only a family matter of the Marquis of Yongning.

But Aunt Wan's maid went to the third prince's mansion in the middle of the night after such a thing happened. As a result, things couldn't be delayed.

As soon as he replied, Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat. By the time he finished speaking, his expression was as solid as steel.

First, the uncle said that he wanted to marry the concubine of the Minister of Punishment to fill the house, and then some maids from the palace went straight to Xiao Yi's mansion after the incident. This no longer smelled of conspiracy, but that the conspiracy was revealed clearly. in front of him.

This Xiao Yi...his hands are really long.

If this maid hadn't been bribed by Xiao Yi to work as an internal agent for him in the Yongning Marquis Mansion, it was Wanqing who had been bribed by Xiao Yi.

In this way, Xueruo's death naturally had nothing to do with the Bai family.

But why can't Xiao Yi tolerate Xueruo and insist on having her poisoned?What good would killing Xueruo do to him?
Is it just to let my uncle marry the concubine of the Minister of Justice?
But how could Xiao Yi be sure that his uncle would indiscriminately identify Bai as the real murderer, and he would divorce Bai and marry the concubine of the Minister of Punishment!

Unless...unless the uncle has met the concubine of the Minister of Punishment a long time ago, and the Minister of Punishment must have mentioned it in front of his uncle. Naturally, he would not ask his concubine to fill in the house for his uncle, but he would say , let his concubine go to Yongninghou Mansion to be a concubine.

The daughter of the Minister of Punishment was very beautiful, so his uncle naturally took it to heart. At this time, the divorce issue came up, and when it came to filling the house, this concubine was the first in line.

As for the uncle's determination that Bai is the real murderer, I'm afraid that it depends on Wanqing's efforts...

In this way, Xueruo's death was arranged by Xiao Yi, so that Wanqing could instigate her and make her uncle completely angry with the Bai family, divorce his wife and marry another, so that the concubine of the Minister of Punishment could take the opportunity to enter the Yongning Marquis Mansion...

With thoughts swirling in his mind, Xiao Yu slammed his clenched fist on the armrest of the chair, slapped the table and stood up, "Let's go to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion."

After this incident, Ming Lu had long since stopped sleeping. Xiao Yu fell silent and immediately turned around to get Xiao Yu's cloak.

At this end, Xiao Yu and Ming Lu went straight to Yongninghou's Mansion. At the other end, at Yongninghou's Mansion, Bai had already come out of Dong Xueruo's house with red and swollen eyes and headed towards Bai's house.

When she passed by, the lights were still on in Bai's house. Standing in the yard, she could hear crackling sounds in the house. They were undoubtedly smashing things. She looked at the things inside the house through the windows covered with paper. Figure, Dong Xueyi couldn't help holding the handkerchief and sighed.
