The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 267 The First One Must Blame Concubine Jiang

Where on earth did Wan Linlang get so much ability to find out the life stories of these maids and servants so carefully?

Wasn’t it written in the original script?!

Xie Run paused and suddenly remembered something!

In her previous life, Wan Linlang loved to collect all kinds of information, starting from the smallest details and killing people silently.

Conditions allowed at the time, and Wan Linlang thoroughly investigated the maids serving her, up to three generations of their ancestors.

After becoming the Defei, Wan Linlang became prominent for a time and her desire for control became even stronger.

The first thing he did after taking the throne was to place chess pieces in various palaces and then find out the backgrounds of the people in each palace.

Those who can be used by her will be secretly bribed, and those who cannot be used by her and will pose a threat to her in the future will be eliminated directly.

In fact, no matter in the previous or next life, Wan Linlang has always had this personality.

But in this life, she has always been suppressed in the position of a concubine, which limits her ability to exert her strength.

So much so that I looked down on her even more.

Now Wan Linlang has proved with her strength that she is still the Concubine Wan De from her previous life.

In the previous life, it was Nanny Mu who took care of the eldest young master, and in the end, the eldest young master died because of a trivial matter.

But it was Fang Yuaner who planned it at that time.

According to Wan Linlang's personality, even if Fang Yuaner didn't take action, she would take action sooner or later.

It is reasonable to make preparations in advance and check the background of Mu Nanny.

The eunuchs below were still saying, "That hunter also said that he had a son the first time he and Nanny Mu had a son, and that he had only thought of it as a chance encounter and a one-night stand."

"Who knew that Nanny Mu's husband and mother-in-law were not satisfied. After giving birth to a son, they still wanted another son. So they coaxed and threatened Nanny Mu to come a second time, and she gave birth to another daughter."

"The second time the hunter developed feelings for Mu Nanny, he would secretly visit his son and daughter."

"At first he was hiding and only went there once a month. Later, when he saw that Mu Nanny's husband and mother-in-law couldn't do anything about him, he started going there every few days."

"Two months ago, an old woman suddenly found him and asked him for information."

"The hunter refused to speak at first, but then the old woman poisoned him and threatened him. The hunter was intimidated and told everything."

When Xie Run heard the word poison, he couldn't help but sit up straight: "Poison?!"

"That's right! The hunter said the poison was extremely torturous. It felt like thousands of insects and ants were biting him every day, and it made him cry bitterly."

After hearing these two words, Xie Run was basically certain that it was Wan Linlang's work.

"The hunter was frightened by the poison and, following the old woman's instructions, he came to harass Mu Nanny's family every day."

"Mrs. Mu's family was afraid that if the matter got out, the whole family would be ashamed to live, so they had no choice but to urge Mrs. Mu."

"The hunter is afraid of trouble. After the old woman stopped looking for him, he hasn't come to see his son and daughter much recently."

"Tonight, our servants were lucky. He couldn't help himself and just happened to hunt a rabbit. He found an opportunity to deliver it to us, and we saw him."

The princess's people are really efficient.

Not only did he find out the news, but he also sent Mu Nanny and her family directly over.

"The princess has explained in detail that if we send this family to Nanny Mu, we are not afraid that she will refuse to speak."

Xie Run: "...The princess is indeed decisive and resolute."

Nanny Mu had refused to speak before because she knew that once she opened her mouth, she would be called a slut who could be slept with by anyone.

Her sons and daughters will also be looked down upon and rejected like rats crossing the street.

Her mother-in-law and husband who asked her to be vaccinated will definitely not protect her. Instead, they will abandon her without hesitation, cut off ties with her, and trample her into the mud.

She still had some hope and wanted to use her own life to save her family's lives.

But when she saw her husband and child being sent over, she couldn't hold it in any longer and vomited everything out.

Xie Run didn't make a special trip late at night.

She only let the maidservant around her go and listen, and tell her the news after she came back.

Xiao Shu went there and told Xie Run everything she had heard.

"Nanny Mu was originally doing her job well in the mansion, but one day she received a note from Concubine Wan, which stated that Nanny Mu had been vaccinated and had given birth to a child."

"Mrs. Mu was frightened half to death, but she was half-believing and half-doubting, and didn't dare to harm anyone rashly."

"It was Concubine Wan who ordered the hunters to harass her every day. Her family members pressured her into doing this, so she agreed to help Concubine Wan."

"She destroyed the rockery according to Concubine Wan's instructions, and assisted Concubine Jiang in blaming you for her miscarriage."

"During this period, she indeed only communicated with Xing'er once."

Xie Run raised his eyebrows after hearing this, "That's all?"

Xiao Shu nodded: "No more?"

Xie Run laughed. "Wan Linlang worked so hard to control her as a chess piece, just to help Jiang Baobao have a miscarriage?"

"If that's the case, who can't do it, Xing'er or Guiyuan?"

Xiao Shu: "Nanny Mu said that the people around Concubine Jiang are under strict surveillance and have no chance to come to Feihe Pavilion to make any moves. Only people like her who are from the front yard and have little involvement with the back yard can quietly make some moves without anyone noticing."

"In addition, Concubine Wan also had Nanny Mu often whisper divisive words into the eldest son's ear, making him resent the heirs in the mansion."

Xiao Shu paused and added, "It's not just the offspring. Those who had conflicts with Concubine Ning in the past and are now concubines are all the targets of the eldest son's hatred."

"Especially Concubine Fang and you, Master."

After listening to this, Xie Run asked in confusion, "She didn't tell me why she scolded the eldest master by the rockery that day?"

Xiao Shu: "Nanny Mu said that it was an accident that day. When the eldest son heard that he was going to attend the fifth son's birthday party, he suddenly got angry and ran to the rockery to make a scene."

"The eldest son was verbally abusing the fifth son and you near the rockery, and you happened to be nearby."

"Nanny Mu was afraid you'd notice something, so she made up an excuse."

Xie Run raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, the eldest master doesn't know that the rockery has been tampered with?"

"That day, he and Concubine Sun were chatting under the rockery when they were hit by Jiang Baobao. Was it just an accident?"

Xie Run asked this question because he didn't believe it at all.

Xiao Shu nodded: "This servant, Guard Jin, and Nanny Mu have confirmed this several times, and Nanny Mu is very sure."

"She said that the eldest son has a paranoid and sinister temperament. Although he is young, he has his own ideas."

"Nanny Mu didn't dare to reveal anything to him. She was afraid that the eldest young master would do something bad, and she was even more afraid that he would take the opportunity to have evil intentions."

"The eldest son's accidental madness and Concubine Sun's disfigurement were completely beyond Nanny Mu's expectations, and she knew nothing about it."

Xie Run smiled and said, "Even though Nanny Mu didn't tell the eldest master, he might not be unaware of it."

"It seems we need to ask the people around the eldest young master to see if there are any close friends of his."

This time the eldest master has become a fool, and even the most caring maids and servants have to worry about their future.

Xie Run: "Now that the matter has been investigated, let Guard Jin write it up into a file and have these people sign it, and wait for the princess to deal with it."

"When the prince comes back, I will have an explanation."

Xiao Shu whispered, "This incident with Concubine Jiang has caused such a big stir that everyone in the mansion has been living in fear for a while, afraid of being implicated in any way."

"Concubine Jiang has brought this upon herself, so there's nothing I can say. The eldest son has become a fool, and the prince will surely be furious when he returns. I don't know what to do with him."

"Although Concubine Sun was the least injured, a woman's appearance is so important... She has been ignoring the affairs of the mansion for a while now, staying quiet in her own courtyard, not revealing a single word. I have a feeling she won't just suffer in silence like this."

Xie Run said: "Now that the case has come to light, Concubine Sun has someone she hates, so she can't sit still."

Xiao Shu blinked, "The culprit, Concubine Wan, is still in Qiangwu. If Concubine Sun wants to blame someone, she should blame Concubine Jiang first..."

Xie Run sat in front of the makeup mirror and took off his hair, with Xiao Shu helping him.

Xie Run said slowly: "She has been wronged, and she has to find a place to vent her anger."

"Although this matter has nothing to do with us, we are now in charge of the household affairs. We must be cautious and not let others take advantage of us."

Xiao Shu nodded immediately: "I know."

At night, Xie Run was still worried that Concubine Sun would take action against Jiang Baobao. The next day, before dawn, Xie Run was woken up by someone.

"Master, something bad has happened!"

Xie Run took a moment to recover, "What happened again?"
