Chapter 635: Hostage
As soon as the Yuan family left, Su Yiqing immediately ordered Lu Teng to check the Yuan family's family background in detail again, and find someone to keep an eye on it to see who the Yuan family has been dealing with in the past few days.
Thinking about the whole poisoning process in detail, Su Yiqing couldn't help but sigh secretly, how could she forget that there is a bitter meat trick, if it is convenient to poison, Yuan's is also one of them, but Yuan's poisoning is quite deep, her husband diagnoses, and if she doesn't get it right, she is worried about her life, of course, people's psychology is easy to ignore the victim, but sometimes the victim is often also the perpetrator.
Thinking back to the allusions I saw before, the bitter meat meter has always been a tried and tested trick, Yuan first tried it for the child, and after being poisoned, naturally no one suspected that she was the poisoner, she would have the next chance to start, and it was not easy to be suspected.
Thinking about Su Yiqing, she felt afraid for a while, if the Yuan family was not so troublesome, he would start directly at one time, but he was afraid that the child would be unexpected, which is estimated to be thanks to the cruel way of straining in ancient times, especially beneficial to the superiors, if the subordinates want to commit the following crimes, the whole family will be implicated.
The selection of subordinates in the Dingwang Mansion is also very strict, and those who don't know the details or have no relatives or no reason will not be entrusted with important tasks.
I remember that this Yuan family gave birth to two sons, and the family was originally okay, but her husband was injured when he went out to work, and he had to raise it for a long time.
Such a person is not easy to have any evil intentions, or dare not have evil thoughts, because her whole family is nearby, and if she makes any mistakes in the palace, the whole family will be implicated.
The reason why this is the case now is either to be lured by others or to be coerced.
After the investigation, Lu Teng came back and said that the Yuan family lived in a village on the outskirts of Yancheng, and they were all normal together, no accidents had happened, and there were no outsiders who had frequent contact with their family, and they were all familiar faces, and no strangers had contact with their family.
This investigation is also within Su Yiqing's reason, it is so easy to find out the abnormality, and the Yuan family will not be so troublesome.
She gave a few more commands to the green vine, and she understood it.
After the last time the Yuan family saw the princess, he recalled the whole experience, and always felt uneasy, but he didn't know what he did wrong, but after a few days in a row, he didn't see any movement, but the princess ordered people to send a lot of expensive tonics again and again, and let the two little maids take turns to serve her, she was just like the master in the house, and people who were a little familiar with it were envious, saying that there would be a blessing if she didn't die.
Yuan's just a humble smile at people, occasionally ask a few words about how the little prince is, don't dare to ask more, some things don't ask people will say, seeing that this Yuan family has a merit in saving the little prince, it is estimated that he will become a first-class celebrity in the palace, and there are naturally a lot of people who are in a hurry, and there are all kinds of news.
It's all hearsay, the only thing that can be confirmed is that the people who served in the courtyard of the little prince were not all replaced, only a batch of people came in, and several grandmothers who were close to the little prince were temporarily grounded in their own houses, and they were not allowed to move around at will, which is also normal, after all, the little prince almost had an accident, and the people around him were suspected of taking care of him, especially if he couldn't find the person who was poisoned, such a punishment was already very light, if there was such a thing in other mansions, even if he didn't kill a few on the spot, he would definitely be tortured to extract confessions, There is almost no punishment like now, but it is unsettling, I only feel that the princess's methods are different from ordinary noblewomen, and they are much more powerful.
Yuan's premonition was not wrong, and when she was uneasy, the eldest maid in front of the princess found her with a smile and said: "Sister-in-law Yuan, congratulations, the princess is grateful to you for saving the little prince, and specially ordered someone to take your husband's family and her mother's family to the small village in the suburbs, and it will be a lot more convenient to go home to visit relatives in the future."
Green vine also said that both her mother's family and her husband's family were very grateful, and brought her a handwritten letter from her husband.
The husband said in the letter that the men in the palace had found something to do for the two families of them, so they collected rent in the small village, and the work was very easy, and in the past these jobs were done for the servants who had signed the contract and had contributed to the palace, but now it was an extra kindness, and the two of them were not required to sign the contract.
The most important thing is that there is a school in Zhuangzi, a few children can go to study, which is a great thing, ordinary children want to go to private school, not to mention the money, a little bit of ability of the gentleman does not charge, the poor can rarely afford a real reader, most of them are able to read and write family members occasionally teach a little.
She can read letters as a woman, thanks to what her mother, who is the daughter of Xiucai, taught her from an early age.
In the letter, it can be seen that the husband is beaming, saying that this is all her credit, and when she goes home in the future, everyone is grateful, especially the mother-in-law, saying that her family does not know how many lifetimes of blessings to get such a daughter-in-law.
After reading the letter, Yuan Shi became even more panicked, and barely held up a smile and said a few words of gratitude to Green Vine.
Green vine said: "Sister-in-law Yuan, this is all the grace of the princess, but they are all subordinates, I will tell you in private, the princess has always been a person with clear rewards and punishments, and is very tolerant, you see that the little prince almost had an accident, and she did not use torture to extort confessions from the subordinates who served at will, but once it is found out who did it, even if the princess is kind, the prince is not a soft person, do you understand?" ”
"Green vine girl, what do you say......" Yuan's face turned white instantly, how could she listen to the words of green vine as if they were warnings, could it be that the princess knew something?
Green vine smiled casually: "Sister-in-law Yuan, if you can understand what I mean, you will naturally know what to do best for yourself, if you can't understand, then it's better, it's rare to be confused sometimes, do you say?" ”
Yuan Shi was speechless for a while, and the green vine didn't say anything, just let her rest well, and called the little maid who was waiting, and told the little maid to take good care of her, and if she lacked anything, she just had to talk to the steward, and she didn't have to be restrained.
After the green vine left, a bunch of people came to congratulate the Yuan family, saying that they had really made a great contribution, and even the family could enjoy happiness.
Yuan's heart was bitter, if ordinary people can get such grace, they will naturally be happy, but the problem is that she is not an ordinary person, nor is she really meritorious, Lu Teng Fangcai's words, she heard it very clearly, it was a stern warning at all, telling her that her husband's family and her mother's family are now all in the hands of the princess, if there is anything wrong, neither of the two families can escape.
