My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 148

There was a strong wind and heavy rain at night. After Aunt Dong was awakened, she had no intention of sleeping again.

She got up and dressed, and said to her two personal maids: "Take a lantern and a paper umbrella and go to Minglan Courtyard."

The maid was shocked: "Are you going now? The prince and the young lady may have gone to bed long ago. If my aunt has something to do, why don't you go tomorrow morning?"

Aunt Dong looked firm and said resolutely: "Don't talk nonsense. If you go now, you will delay important things and you can't afford it. If the Crown Prince is blamed by then, I will bear the responsibility. You just have to obey orders."

The two maids looked at each other and had no choice but to put on their raincoats, lanterns and paper umbrellas, and escort Aunt Dong to Minglan Courtyard.

In the main room of Minglan Courtyard, Qin He noticed footsteps approaching and woke up immediately. He glanced at his sleeping wife, got up, put on a coat, walked to the outer room, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

Mo Zhu stopped quietly outside the screen and whispered: "Aunt Dong from the second room came here in the rain and said she has something important to report."

Qin He frowned slightly, "Bring them in and wait in the living room. Don't wake up your master."

The other party came late at night in the rain. The situation must be serious and it is necessary to meet him.

"What's wrong? Mo Zhu, what happened in the middle of the night?"

Suddenly, Shen Yuan's sleepy voice came from behind the two of them.

"I accidentally woke you up."

Qin He smiled helplessly and said, "Aunt Dong has something to ask for late at night."

Shen Yuan opened her eyelids and her sleepiness disappeared, "I'll go with you."

The lonely man and the widow met in the middle of the night, and the other party was the concubine of an elder. It was better to have her accompany him to avoid any suspicion, so as not to have anyone talk about it in the future and discredit Qin He.

Not long after, Qin He and Shen Yuan appeared in front of the anxious Aunt Dong.

"I have met the prince and his wife."

"Sit down, there's no need to salute, Aunt Dong just explains her purpose directly." Qin He said straight to the point.

Aunt Dong looked at the servants waiting in the room and hesitated to speak.

"You retreat to the outer room for the time being, and you must remain tight-lipped about tonight's affairs."

Shen Yuan gave an order, and after all the servants had left and the door was closed, she turned to look at Aunt Dong, "Now you can feel free to speak."

Aunt Dong hesitated for a while and then said carefully: "Before I tell the truth, could you please the prince and the young lady to agree to a condition for me?" "Let me tell you and listen to it. If it makes sense, then continue." Qin He said coldly.

"I hope that the Qin family can save Zhili's life and protect her peace and prosperity for the rest of her life."

"Xiao Li'er is a bloodline of my Qin family. Even if you don't mention it, she will be protected in this life."

"Then I will feel at ease."

Aunt Dong showed a relieved smile, gave a blessing to Qin He and his wife, and said: "Someone wants to use my hand to kill the young lady. This is the poison that the other party gave me to poison the young lady. Please, the prince, young lady Madam, take a look."

Aunt Dong took something out of her sleeve pocket and offered it respectfully with both hands raised.

Qin He and Shen Yuan both changed their expressions upon hearing this. The battle for the heir has just begun, is there someone impatient to attack the Qin family?
"Who asked you to harm the young lady?"

Qin He took the porcelain bottle with murderous intent in his eyes.

"I am the master of this concubine." Aunt Dong took a deep breath and looked at the couple with a look of death. "Shopkeeper Lin who contacted me made it clear that this is the master's wish. I promise to win but not lose."

"Have they revealed to you why they wanted to harm my wife?" Shen Yuan asked with a solemn expression.

"No, the people in 'Zhu Jinlou' only follow orders and don't ask why. This is the rule in the gang."

Aunt Dong glanced at Qin He cautiously, "But based on my understanding of the master and the gang, I have a guess in my mind. I don't know if it is right."

"Just tell me, it doesn't matter if you are wrong. You have done a good job by informing on this matter, and I will not care about your other faults."

Qin He's answer gave Aunt Dong reassurance.

She boldly said: "I guess that the master probably wants to change someone to be the crown prince's wife. Prince, you are not a womanizer, ordinary beauty traps are of no use to you, and the young lady's position in the house is stable and no one can shake it. If If you want to seek the position of the crown prince's wife, the only way is to remove the young lady before you can replace her."

Shen Yuan shrugged and laughed at himself: "The master behind you really thinks highly of me."

Aunt Dong saw that the prince looked like he wanted to eat someone, so she hesitated to answer.

"What's the use of this medicine?" Qin He asked, shaking the bottle in his hand.

"The name of this medicine is 'blood seals the throat'. It is extremely poisonous. You can die violently within half a quarter of an hour after taking it. Without an antidote, it will be difficult for gods to save you. You will definitely die."

Qin He's face turned green every time Aunt Dong said something.
