Distressed wife

Chapter 694: Zhong Xuan's Provocation (2)
"What did Yan'er say?" Lady Lu looked at Zhang Zong and asked.

"Don't mention it, because of this matter, Miss Hou and her quarreled, and now it's deadlocked." Zhang Zong looked at Mrs. Lu, "I really don't know what to do about it?"

"Ah?" Mrs. Lu was silent for a moment, "Let's wait and see, I think Yan'er must have her own plans for what she did."

"En." Zhang Zong also sensed that something was wrong, because they all knew that Hou Yiyi's temperament, and Mu Ziyan would not really get into a fight, and only those who couldn't understand from the outside would think so.

Zhang Zong didn't say anything anymore, "Where's Qian'er?"

"I'm asleep." Mrs. Lu said with a smile.

"Oh." Zhang Zong nodded slightly, "This kid."

Lady Lu smiled slightly, "Don't worry about it, I'm just wondering what is behind this?"

"Anyway, I have been traveling with the third prince for a while, and I don't feel at ease when I come back." Zhang Zong knew that Jun Qianhao was too dangerous, with deep thoughts, and he really fell in love with Yan'er.

Mu Ziyan told her so, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, just wait and see."

"En." Zhang Zong nodded, and the two left the autopsy room together.

The case happened for two days, but there was no progress. After that day, Master Hou had the intention of giving up on His Royal Highness, and Hou Yiyi also hated Mu Ziyan a little because of this matter.

Su Qinrou was in a dilemma, but she didn't know how to solve it, which made everyone's atmosphere very wonderful.

Mu Ziyan was just waking up from a nap, Biyun had already entered the room with hot water, and went up to help her wash her hands.

Rue Xiang bowed her head and said in a low voice, "Miss, something happened."

"En." Mu Ziyan looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Have they made a move?"

"Yes." Rue Xiang whispered, "Secretly tampered with Hou Shizi's meal."

"En." Mu Ziyan responded indifferently, "Don't startle the snake, just follow the plan."

"Yes." Rue Xiang replied, and went to make arrangements.

Early the next morning, Zhang Zong rushed to the prison. After seeing Hou Shizi's body, his expression turned cold. Lady Lu went up to examine the body and said in a low voice, "He died of poisoning."

"Poisoned?" Zhang Zong's eyes sank, "How did you get poisoned?"

"There is poison in the food." Mrs. Lu said in a low voice.

"Food?" A faint light flashed in Zhang Zong's eyes, "It seems that someone tampered with it inside."

"En." Mrs. Lu nodded in response.

"Ask the people inside one by one." Zhang Zong raised his eyes and looked at the yamen servant behind him, and said coldly.

"Yes, my lord." The yamen servant behind him replied, and then went to interrogate them one by one.

After a while, I saw Hou Yiyi rushing over. When I saw Hou Shizi's body, I burst into tears, rushed over, and knelt on the ground, "Brother, brother..."

Zhang Zong looked at her, "Miss Hou, Prince Hou died of poisoning."

"Poisoned?" Hou Yiyi looked up at him, and asked in disbelief, "How could you be poisoned?"

"This..." Zhang Zong whispered, "I will find out."

"Brother..." Hou Yiyi looked down, then stood up, "Could it be that Mu Ziyan let go of him, and my brother would not die unexpectedly."

"Miss Hou, this investigation has nothing to do with the Princess, and she is powerless." Zhang Zong explained for Mu Ziyan.

"Master Zhang, my usual friendship with her can't resist this?" Hou Yiyi snorted coldly, "It's just that I'm blind."

Seeing what Hou Yiyi said, Zhang Zong turned around and left.

Mu Ziyan got the news, so she saw Hou Yiyi rushing in, pointed at her and cursed, "I didn't expect you to be such a kind-faced and cruel person, if you think about my friendship with you, you I will definitely not ignore it, and my brother will not be plotted against."

Mu Ziyan said in a low voice, "Sister Yiyi, Master Hou wants to die with all his heart, since such a thing happened, it is God's will. Even if sister Yiyi blames it, she can't blame me."

"That's right, you are the princess, and now that I have status, I can't climb high." Hou Yiyi said angrily, turned and left.

Mu Ziyan looked at the back of her leaving angrily, sighed faintly, turned around and went back to the room helplessly.

In the Changsong Courtyard, the mother-in-law reported the movement here to the old lady, "Old lady, you didn't see it, then the eldest lady Hou criticized the eldest lady in public, not to mention how ugly the scolding is."

"Good scolding." The old lady clapped her hands and applauded.

"Old madam, do you think it's true or not?" Nurse Cong asked doubtfully.

"It must be true. It is only said that the prince is dead now. Even if she is acting, it is impossible for Miss Hou to really turn against Yan girl. It is true that she can criticize like this now." The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, said in a low voice.

"That's right, now this matter is causing a lot of trouble in the city, and many people are pointing fingers at the eldest lady, saying that she will not save her." Cong Nai said with a smile.

"The bigger the noise, the better." The old lady snorted coldly, "She will be old next month, I'm afraid it will be even more lively."

"What the old lady said is very true." Nanny Cong replied with a smile.

Mrs. Qi heard the gossip outside, and couldn't help herself, so she came to look for Mu Ziyan. Seeing that she was calm and not half-deadly unhappy, Mrs. Qi said in a low voice, "Yan'er, what is this?" what happened?"

"Mother, this matter is a bit complicated, and it will stop in a few days." Mu Ziyan said secretly, not wanting to worry Qi Shi.

"That's good." Mrs. Qi nodded slightly, and saw Mu Lingjue rushing towards Mu Ziyan with her head raised.

"Sister, play with me." Mu Lingjue tugged on her sleeve, smiling brightly.

Mu Ziyan looked down at him, "Okay."

Qi said with a low smile, "Don't spoil him."

"Mother, you go to rest and leave Jue'er to my daughter." Mu Ziyan hugged Mu Lingjue and said with a smile.

"You, who swore at the beginning that he would be taught a lesson after he was born?" Qi said helplessly.

"Mother, isn't this Tongyan Wuji?" Mu Ziyan quickly argued, and then waited for Qi Shi to leave, and started playing with Mu Lingjue in her arms.
