Chapter 297 Questioning the Four Maids Around Madam Hou

As time passed, a miracle finally happened - the blood that had been gushing out of the marquis's lower body gradually stopped, and her face gradually regained some color.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yimo felt relieved a little, but she still didn't dare to take it lightly.

She continued to observe the Marquis's condition with full concentration, always ready to deal with any unexpected events...

In this way, Jiang Yimo guarded the Marquis's wife closely, from early morning till noon.

During this period, she paid close attention to the health of the Marquis's wife, not daring to relax at all. Finally, when she saw that the Marquis's condition gradually stabilized, she finally felt relieved.

After a short rest, Jiang Yimo began to investigate the cause of Mrs. Hou's spotting.

She frowned, her eyes revealing a hint of worry and doubt. She turned to look at Marquis Jingming and asked in a serious tone, "My Lord, the Marquis' wife is usually in good health. How could she suddenly become like this for no reason? There must be a reason!"

After hearing this, Marquis Jingming sighed heavily, his face full of helplessness and heartache.

He shook his head and said, "Alas, I have ordered people to investigate this matter in detail, but I still haven't found out the cause."

It is not difficult to hear his inner anxiety and uneasiness in his words.

You know, this couple had their first child at such an old age, so this child means a lot to them.

Therefore, ever since his wife became pregnant, Marquis Jingming has been extremely cautious and has done everything himself, fearing the slightest mistake.

However, faced with this sudden change, no matter how calm and composed he was, he couldn't help but feel confused at this moment.

"Then has the Marquis ever asked the maids and servants who used to serve the Marquis' wife? Do they know who the Marquis' wife has been in contact with recently, what she has eaten, or what objects she has touched?"

Jiang Yimo asked, her words full of meticulousness.

"Ever since my wife knew she was pregnant, she has not stepped out of the house. She has been living in fear and trembling all day long. She is even more careful about her diet. Even the maids who serve her closely were carefully selected by my wife and me. So there shouldn't be any problems." Marquis Jingming frowned and said with a worried look on his face.

"You can't say that. We must be careful in everything. If we are not careful, we will fall into other people's traps. My lord, please call all the maids who take care of the marquis's wife here. I will take care of it personally." Jiang Yimo said seriously.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to call them all over right now." After the wife of Marquis Jingming responded, she stood up and asked someone to call the four maids around her to come over to Jiang Yimo.

Not long after, Marquis Jingming came hurriedly with the four maids beside his wife.

"Later, Miss Jiang will ask you some questions about the Madam. No matter what questions she asks, you must answer truthfully. Do you understand?"

Marquis Jingming had a stern expression on his face and warned them in a stern tone.

After listening to Marquis Jingming's words, the four maids nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, Master!"

At this time, Marquis Jingming turned his gaze to Jiang Yimo and said to her, "Okay, Miss Jiang, start asking questions."

Hearing this, Jiang Yimo smiled slightly. Her clear eyes swept across the faces of the four maids in front of her, and then she asked casually, "How old are you this year?"

Maid A replied: "To answer the young lady's question, I am sixteen years old this year."

Maid B followed closely behind: "I have wasted seventeen years of my life."

Maid C then replied: "I am only twenty years old."

Finally, it was Ding Maid's turn to speak: "I am also sixteen years old."

After hearing the answer, Jiang Yimo showed a look of satisfaction and nodded slightly to show her approval.

However, Jingming Hou and Feng Wuhen, who were sitting next to her, were confused by the question she asked. For a moment, they couldn't understand why Jiang Yimo asked about their age.

Jiang Yimo glanced at the puzzled expressions on Jingming Hou and Feng Wuhen's faces, but she had no intention of clearing their confusion for the moment.

Then Jiang Yimo continued to ask: "So are you married already? Or has your family already arranged a marriage for you?"

Upon hearing this, Maid A's cheeks flushed like the sunset glow. She lowered her head shyly and replied softly, "My lady, my family is indeed arranging a marriage for me."

When Maid A said this, she could not hide her joy in her words. It was obvious that this person was simple-minded.

Maid B was also shy at this moment, and she twisted her clothes and whispered, "My dear lady, I got married two months ago."

Although Maid B spoke in a soft tone, her happiness was evident in her words. From her words, one could tell that this girl was gentle, considerate and kind.

However, when it was Bing's turn to answer this question, her originally beautiful face revealed a trace of sadness and unwillingness, and tears flashed in her eyes. She just said lightly: "I am the daughter of the Marquis's mansion. Unfortunately, my husband was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake and died when he went up the mountain last year..."

Before maid Bing finished her words, her eyes were already wet. Jiang Yimo felt depressed by the expression on this girl's face, and she must have a lot on her mind.

Finally, maid Ding replied shyly: "My mother once said that I am still young and we can discuss marriage in two years."

After maid Ding finished speaking, a light blush appeared on her cheeks, which was very cute. She looked lively, cheerful and likable.

After the four maids finished answering, Jiang Yimo once again carefully looked at the four maids beside the Marquis's wife. Her eyes slowly moved and finally stopped on Maid C.

Jiang Yimo narrowed her eyes slightly, stared at the other party thoughtfully, and then said softly: "Then, please tell me in detail, what kind of food did the Marquis eat in the past two days?"

Before she finished speaking, the maid A answered without hesitation, "Madam has been suffering from severe morning sickness lately. She can hardly swallow anything. She throws up immediately no matter what she eats. Sometimes she is so hungry that she can only drink some hawthorn porridge to fill her stomach."

"However, the situation was slightly different last night. The sour and minced meat soup that Xiao Qin carefully prepared seemed to please the lady very much. She even ate two whole bowls in one go!"

When Maid A said this, she smiled very happily.

"Xiao Qin? Who is Xiao Qin?" Jiang Yimo asked after listening to her words quietly.

"This, this is Xiao Qin." Maid A pointed at Maid B, and her face was full of smiles.
