Chapter 72: The Hatred of the Warlord's Daughter-in-law (11)
The main courtyard was a mess of porridge, and when Shi Lan arrived, the people who were waiting here were like quails, huddled together, and the soldiers with guns at the door stared at each other, staring firmly at everyone inside. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"What's going on?" Shi Lan walked into the courtyard with a condensed face.
The steward in charge of the people who controlled his subordinates trembled and walked up to Shi Lan, "Young grandma, the overseer is not good. ā
Shi Lan frowned, her face was so cold that a layer of frost could be hung on her face, "What's wrong, the Overseer is just a little sick, and he scared you so much that you can't speak." ā
The steward secretly glanced at the soldier whose gun had already been loaded, quietly stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "No, young grandmother. The Overseer seems to have been ......poisoned by someone else's way," he said, gesturing with a snort and lowering his head.
Shi Lan's face immediately turned pale, and her voice trembled slightly, "You have tested it." ā
The steward nodded, knowing that the Overseer was her backer, and she was not surprised by this reaction, "Young grandma, something like this happened to the Overseer, and the young master is not here, what do you say to do?" ā
Shi Lan seemed to be panicked, but she was sneering in her heart, Zhu Yan might be hiding somewhere to watch secretly at this moment.
"Can you catch the poisoner?"
The steward nodded: "I heard from the person guarding the study that the overseer drank the soup sent by Aunt Yuan's personal maid Xiangxue, and he had already sent someone to look for it just now, and he should come back now." ā
Shi Lan nodded, thought about it, and muttered suspiciously, "Xiangxue doesn't stay in Xianglan Garden, what kind of soup will she send to the Overseer?" ā
The steward pondered for a moment, and then said hesitantly: "Two days ago, the young master had a big quarrel with the Overseer because he wanted to promote his wife. At that time, the Overseer said that as long as he lived, he would not be allowed to have a ninth-rate master in his family. ā
The steward looked at Shi Lan, who was frowning and listening, and said the guess in his heart, "Maybe Aunt Yuan is because of this, so she sent Xiangxue ......."
The steward's words were not finished, but the meaning of the words was obvious.
Shi Lan clenched his hands and patted them, immediately revealing a hint of horror.
Seeing her like this, the steward couldn't help but regret a little, he knew that this young grandmother was not a person who could support things, and he knew that he couldn't put his hope on her.
Outside the door, several men in dark blue military uniforms approached.
The men passed by Shi Lan and nodded kindly at her.
Shi Lan folded his shirt and bowed his head half-hung.
The steward's eyes lit up immediately when he saw everyone, and he stuck to it as if he had found the backbone, "Senior Master Han, Senior Master Zhang." Warlord...... The Overseers have returned. ā
Han Qingmo and Zhang Tiegui are Zhu Boyan's right-hand men, who usually go in and out of the main courtyard, and are familiar with the steward, so when they heard the steward's words, they were both stunned.
The steward trembled, his legs trembled, and he almost lost his footing.
Han Qingmo couldn't help frowning, when the Zhu family urged him to come before, they only said that there was an urgent matter, but when he asked what was going on, he was hesitant, and at that time he felt that the situation was not good, and when he heard the steward say this, he immediately felt that the sky was gray.
Zhang Tiegui followed Zhu Boyan to mix horse thieves, worshiped the handle, and when he saw the steward's cowardice, he immediately pulled his throat and said: "You fuck, what nonsense, I saw the eldest brother doing well yesterday," as he spoke, he pushed the steward away, shouted 'big brother' in his mouth, and strode into the house.
Han Qingmo glanced at Shi Lan, whose face was pale, and followed Zhang Tiegui quietly.
The group leaders behind him looked at each other for a moment, and they all followed silently.
More than ten seconds later, Zhang Tiegui suddenly heard an angry roar in the house, and everyone walked out one after another.
"Who is this, who did this?"
The steward only felt as if his arm was about to break, and the pain made his face twist slightly.
"It was the girl next to Aunt Yuan who did it," the steward explained the suspect neatly.
Zhang Tiegui's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he immediately pulled out his gun and was about to rush out.
Han Qingmo grabbed him, "Lao Zhang, wait a minute." ā
Zhang Tiegui turned his head and glared at Han Qingmo, "What are you waiting for, the eldest brother has let people die, and you still let me wait." ā
Han Qingmo pulled Zhang Tiegui to his side and didn't let him act rashly, "Steward, what's going on?" ā
Before the steward, he only obeyed Zhu Boyan's call, and he usually only felt that he was superior, and he was on a stand against everyone, Wang Yuan didn't like Zhu Boyan, and the steward naturally neglected her a lot.
Now that Zhu Boyan is gone, this day has changed.
In the future, this is Zhu Yan's house, Wang Yuan is his favorite aunt's wife, comparing his heart to his heart, he knows very well that he will not have good fruit to eat next.
can be the head of a compound, and there are more twists and turns in his heart than anyone else.
As early as when Shi Lan came, the steward thought about the stakes thoroughly, but Shi Lan didn't take care of things, and now that he can take charge of things, he naturally has to explain in detail the content of the quarrel in the main courtyard a few days ago and the matter of Xiangxue coming to deliver the soup, and at the end he also emphasized the cruel words that Zhu Boyan put down.
After listening to the steward's seemingly unbiased reply, everyone looked at each other, combined with the rumors about Wang Yuan from his wife at home, the men present felt that they were the truth.
The overseer of Rong Ma's life died aggrievedly at the hands of an aunt, and Xiangxue, who delivered the soup, was naturally the scapegoat she sent.
Shi Lan lowered her eyes and looked at the skirt at her feet, without saying a word.
At the gate of the courtyard, the soldier pressed Xiangxue and walked in, and a few steps away, he still looked panicked, and kept looking at Wang Yuan, who was not far away and close to the soldiers.
Zhang Tiegui had already decided that the poison was caused by Wang Yuan, and immediately shouted angrily, "Take her down for me." ā
The soldier immediately stepped forward, ignoring Wang Yuan's pitiful appearance, and immediately twisted her arms behind her back and pushed forward hard.
Wang Yuan immediately staggered a few steps forward, and even though she was dragged by soldiers, she still fell to her knees.
Zhang Tiegui looked at Wang Yuan coldly and fiercely, raised his hand to load the gun in his hand, and raised it to fight.
"Stop," a man outside the courtyard stopped Zhang Tiegui's movements.
The people in the courtyard turned around, and the man strode up to Wang Yuan, pushed the soldier holding her away, stroked her messy hair with a look of pity, and helped her up.
When Han Qingmo saw his actions, he frowned, his sharp eyes immediately darkened, and a strong dissatisfaction rose in his heart.
Zhang Tiegui immediately shouted: "Eldest nephew, still protecting her? Your father killed her, are you worthy of your father by doing this? ā
The only one who can be called his eldest nephew is Zhu Yan, who is Zhu Boyan's only son.
Zhu Yan didn't speak, just looked at Wang Yuan with pity.
Seeing this scene, Shi Lan smiled coldly, but said in his heart, his father may not know who killed him.
Zhu Boyan has a strong desire to control, and he is very strong and competitive, but Zhu Yan is not angry, it is easy to lead the second soldier independently, and he was beaten and fled back, coupled with Wang Yuan's matter, Zhu Boyan is very dissatisfied with Zhu Yan, if he only has such a son, I am afraid he will have to consider changing the heir.
Zhu Yan is not stupid, he must have sensed something from the meaning revealed by Zhu Boyan, so he took advantage of Wang Yuan's desire to take the throne and made such a play.
And Shi Lan just wants to follow the original trajectory, the difference is that she doesn't want to be blamed and directly leads the blame to the source.
