Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 710: Many Cheats 31
The maid was called in for questioning by the wife of Duke Cheng'en. She couldn't help but feel a little flustered. Then, just as Linlang thought, she couldn't stand the wife's questioning at all, and she spilled out everything that the Fifth Miss had instructed her to do.

However, she was afraid that the wife of Duke Cheng'en would blame her, so she repeatedly emphasized that before the Fifth Miss got into trouble, she always thought that the snake, as the Fifth Miss said, was not poisonous, and she just wanted to scare the Third Miss Shen of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, so she went to the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion to ask her acquaintances for help to get rid of it. If she knew it was a poisonous snake, she would not dare to get rid of it even if she was beaten to death.

After hearing what the maid said, Lady Cheng'en could not help but be surprised at the viciousness of the concubine's daughter. After all, according to the maid, Wu Niang wanted to kill the third lady of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion just because she felt that the third lady of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion looked down on her (it was not known whether this was true or not, maybe she was just speculating). How vicious and audacious she was! Even her own daughter was not so arrogant. She was a concubine's daughter, just a nobody in the mansion who was not valued. Even if she was from a duke's mansion, she could be so arrogant. She was a lady of a marquis's mansion, and she killed someone just because she felt that people looked down on her?
She is just a nobody in the mansion of Duke Cheng'en. She is probably looked down upon by many people on a daily basis. She might even think that her daughter looks down on her. Doesn't that mean she has been harboring resentment towards everyone? If she gets the chance one day, will she kill those who look down on her in this mansion?

It's terrible! Fortunately he died! Otherwise, there would be a big mess in Cheng'en Mansion.

But speaking of it, this matter is quite strange. According to the maid, the snake had clearly been put in the designated location by the servants of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. How could it run back and poison Wu Niang to death?
Thinking of this, the wife of Duke Cheng'en, like the Fifth Miss, also thought that it was possible that the people from the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion had discovered the poisonous snake a long time ago, but their family status was lower than that of the Cheng'en Mansion, and they did not dare to come to ask for an explanation, so they threw the poisonous snake back to the Fifth Miss. By then, Wu Niang would be poisoned to death by her own snake. Even if the Cheng'en Mansion knew about it, they could not say anything to the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion. Moreover, this was also a secret warning, warning the Cheng'en Mansion to control their people, otherwise, even if the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion was of low status, they had the ability to kill them, so they should think twice - this was what the wife of Duke Cheng'en imagined.

But no matter what, after the wife of Duke Cheng'en figured it out, she really didn't dare to pursue the matter of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion throwing the snake back and poisoning the fifth young lady. After all, if the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion asked where the snake came from, how would she answer?

Moreover, she was indeed afraid of the hidden military power of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, and did not dare to accuse the people of the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion of sneaking into the Cheng'en Duke's Mansion and killing people. After all, if they could come and throw poisonous snakes to kill the fifth lady, they could kill her. How could she dare to accuse the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion? It was not worth it to bring trouble upon herself for a concubine's daughter.

Of course, it was mainly because the Fifth Young Miss was so vicious. It would be better if the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion got rid of her. Otherwise, if they kept this scourge, it would be their own children who would suffer someday. After all, this girl was so petty that she would kill others if she felt that others looked down on her. How terrible it was. Who dared to say that he did not look down on her in her eyes? If she became her target, she would arrange a poisonous snake one day to poison her or her children. What would happen then?
Thinking of this, Lady Cheng'en did not plan to say anything to the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion just because she heard that the matter was related to the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion. Instead, she planned to pretend that she didn't know about it and let it go.

After all, since the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion came here secretly to do this, it is obvious that they don't want to have a bad relationship with the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion. In this case, the wife of the Cheng'en Marquis naturally doesn't want to have a bad relationship with the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. After all, it won't do them any good - if this matter gets out, saying that the girl in their mansion doesn't like the girls of other mansions and is ready to kill them with poisonous snakes, who would dare to associate with their family if it gets out? Look at the girl from the Ci Fu family. I don't know if she's crazy, she actually kidnapped a noble lady in the capital. Now no one dares to associate with the Ci Fu family, it's obvious.

So at that moment, Lady Cheng'en pretended to be unaware of the matter and lightly let it go. As for the maid of Miss Wu, although she didn't beat her to death, she was so bold that she dared to send someone to another noble man's house to do such a thing because she listened to Miss Wu's words. Even if she said that she didn't know there was poison beforehand and just wanted to scare people, it was not something she could do casually at someone else's house. If she didn't deal with it, what would she do if she caused a bigger mess next time? So she was sent to the farm to avoid staying in the mansion and causing trouble in the future.

Linlang saw the end of the maid and was satisfied. After all, the maid was kept in the dark by the Fifth Miss. Although she did some bad things, her crime was not punishable by death. So it was enough for her to be driven to the farm by the wife of the Duke of Cheng'en to live a hard life. In fact, there was a reason why Linlang secretly solved this matter and did not let it be exposed. If she always got into trouble, others might wonder why she always got into trouble and whether she had some reasons. After all, there are some people in this world who are used to finding faults with the victims. If she always got into trouble, there will always be some people who may raise such doubts: There must be something wrong with her, otherwise why are so many people targeting her?
Yes, this kind of thing also happens in real life. If a person is bullied by a lot of people, some people will say that so many people don’t like her, is there something wrong with her?

This kind of thing happened in the original body's world. Because the original body always encountered various accidents, it was inevitable that some people with incorrect values ​​would gossip and talk about whether there was something wrong with the original body and why she was always the one who got into trouble.

So in this world, Linlang avoids such situations.

Of course, she didn't care about these distorted words, but she wanted to leave a better reputation for her original self.

Matters like the one with Princess Changle's family were resolved privately and outsiders didn't know about it.

In the case of Ci Fu's family, all the noble ladies were kidnapped, and Ci Fu's daughter did not mention afterwards that she specifically targeted Linlang - she was afraid that if she did, she would be targeted and attacked by Jing'an Marquis's Mansion and would not be let go - so outsiders did not know that she kidnapped other people just as a coincidence, and her main intention was to kidnap and kill Linlang.

I thought the kidnapping was just as Ci Fu's daughter said, that she did it because she was jealous that they were doing better than her, so she naturally wouldn't say anything to Linlang.

——Yes, in order to find a reason for kidnapping so many noble ladies for no apparent reason, the daughter of the second assistant said this.

Then came the incident with the poisonous snake. Linlang solved it without alerting anyone, so in the eyes of outsiders, nothing was wrong with Linlang for the time being, and no one said anything strange about her.
