Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 730: Many Cheats 51
But who would believe it? In the end, Prince An still planned to beat the servant to death.

Prince An did not report the servant to the authorities because there was no strong evidence to prove that the servant had killed Concubine Cao. He was afraid that if he reported the servant to the authorities, the authorities would not sentence her to death. How could that be possible? His beloved concubine was gone, so someone had to be held responsible! So he killed the servant himself. After all, as a prince, no one would hold him accountable for killing a servant who had committed a serious crime.

Although at the last moment, the servant still let Miss Cao poison Princess Anjiang, in the end for some reason Princess Anjiang was fine, but Concubine Cao and Miss Cao were in trouble. This was a very strange thing, and it was said in an attempt to lead everyone to suspect Princess Anjiang, to see if he could find a way to survive.

As expected, everyone thought she was trying to shirk responsibility and said that on purpose, so they beat her to death.

Of course, even if Prince An believed what she said, he would not let her go, because Prince An was sad that Concubine Cao was poisoned to death, and he would rather kill her by mistake than let her go.

So although Prince An superficially scolded the servant for talking nonsense and trying to pass the blame, privately, he was still a little skeptical. After all, the man was almost dead, so he shouldn't have told lies.

If what he said was true, then just as the servant thought, he would definitely have to think about why the person who was killed was Princess Anjiang, but in the end the two murderers were Concubine Cao and Miss Cao. It was indeed a bit weird.

So Prince An then called Linlang over to question him.

Of course, this was all done secretly and not announced. After all, if it was made public, people might ask why they suspected Princess Anjiang without any clue. After all, no arsenic was found in Princess Anjiang's possession. On the contrary, arsenic was found in Miss Cao and the servant's possession.

At that time, he could tell outsiders that it was because Miss Cao wanted to marry Prince Anjiang, so she and the servant planned to kill Princess Anjiang, and then Concubine Cao acquiesced, but in the end it was Concubine Cao and Miss Cao who died. So he suspected that there was something wrong with Princess Anjiang?
Anyone would think that he is sick. After all, instead of blaming Miss Cao and others for wanting to kill a princess, he blames the princess for not dying. Since the murderer died, he thinks there is something wrong with the princess.

Linlang saw that Prince An asked her to come over for questioning. She had been paying attention to the situation here, so she was naturally prepared.

After listening to what the servant said, Prince An repeated it again, and then said, "She originally intended to listen to Miss Cao and harm you, but nothing happened to you. On the contrary, Miss Cao and Concubine Cao got into trouble, and she thought it might be related to you. What do you have to say?"

He did not say that he suspected her, but only said that it was the servant who suspected her.

After saying that, he stared at Linlang.

As a prince, he had lived in the palace for many years. He often dealt with his father, the queen, and important ministers who held high positions in the palace. He knew what oppression from superiors was like and how to behave. So at this time, he stared at Linlang to see if she showed any panic. If she did, it must be her who did it.

He felt that a common girl would not be able to withstand his oppressive gaze. After all, as far as he knew, the wife of his youngest son was only from an earl's mansion and was still young. She had not seen many big scenes and could not withstand the oppression and questioning of a superior.

As a father-in-law, Prince An naturally could not be alone with his daughter-in-law, so when Linlang came to see Prince An, she was accompanied by Prince Anjiang. After all, Prince An did not want the servants to know about this, lest they spread the news outside and bring bad reputation to Concubine Cao, so he did not leave anyone by his side. But it was not convenient for him to meet his daughter-in-law alone, so he asked Prince Anjiang to accompany him.

After hearing what Prince An said, Prince Anjiang couldn't help but said before Linlang could speak: "Father, what that servant said makes no sense. They wanted to harm Shen, but Shen was fine. On the contrary, they were in trouble. As a result, the servant said that it was Shen who harmed them. Is there any connection between them?" He was a little afraid that Linlang would be scared by her father, so he spoke for Linlang.

He knew that his father was extremely angry about the death of Concubine Cao. There couldn't be the slightest mistake in what Linlang said, otherwise his father would definitely remember it and cause trouble for her, so he spoke on behalf of Linlang.

Linlang was surprised to see Prince Anjiang speaking up for her, and thought to herself that it seemed he was not as cold-hearted as she thought.

Prince An on the side was not happy to hear this and said, "Don't interrupt, let your wife speak."

It was Prince Anjiang who interrupted and broke the oppressive atmosphere he had created, so naturally Prince An was unhappy at the moment.

After hearing Prince Anjiang's defense and Prince An's blame, Linlang quickly said, "Father, I don't know what you mean. I usually don't like to hang out outside. I only stay in my own courtyard..."

Although he seems to be in a daze, he is actually practicing martial arts. Sometimes he also plays some movies, TV shows, novels and games on his computer.

"Everyone knows this. Father will know it as soon as he asks. I don't know why they didn't harm me when they clearly wanted to. They got into trouble themselves, but in the end they suspected me. I am too innocent. It's like a disaster coming from the sky while I am still at home."

After listening to what Linlang and Prince Anjiang said, Prince An found that there were no loopholes and felt that he could not get anything out of them, so he waved his hand and let them go.

In fact, before calling Linlang over for questioning, Prince An had already sent people to investigate Linlang, and it was indeed as Linlang said, his legitimate daughter-in-law was a person who did not like to fight with the world.

Others like to grab the power of housekeeper in the mansion and wish to get more money. But she didn't care when the Crown Prince's wife asked her to be the housekeeper. She stayed in her yard all day long and was in a daze. Her only hobby was probably eating delicious food. She built a small kitchen in her yard and asked a good kitchen worker she brought from her mother's home to cook delicious food for her every day. She usually didn't eat the regular meals in the palace.

For such a person, the matter of Concubine Cao did not seem to be her doing. Prince An guessed that this matter might have been caused by the Cao family.

Miss Cao did buy arsenic, but her purpose was to kill Shen. The reason why arsenic was added to the lotus root powder was probably because someone in the Cao family was jealous of Miss Cao's favor from Concubine Cao, and saw that Miss Cao had arsenic, so he tried to harm her. He probably thought that now that Concubine Cao was dead, he would not be able to show off anymore.

I guess the other party never thought that every time Miss Cao came to the palace, she would personally make a bowl of tea for Concubine Cao and drink a bowl herself. In the end, not only Concubine Cao died, but Miss Cao also died.

Of course, maybe the other party knew this, but still took action because they didn’t care whether Miss Cao lived or died, as long as they got rid of her.
