Chu Yan looked at him with a livid expression and said, “If you want to harm your descendants, the Regional King’s Mansion will be stripped of its nobility and everyone will be exiled. Continue eating. I’ll see how you can face your ancestors!”
Duke Fu lowered his head. After a while, he looked up at Chu Yan. “Take it further away. I crave it when I smell it.”
Chu Yan looked at Duke Fu. “Father, what do you think we should do with this? There’s still a dead person in the house on Osmanthus Street. Also, we have to think of a way to deal with the woman you married and the Prince Consort.”
Duke Fu thought for a long time and felt that his mind was filled with paste. He did not have the ability to think at all. He waved his hand and said, “In short, the fewer people who know about this, the better. Go and inform the Prince Consort first. He’s also taking the pills. Let’s see what he says.”
Chu Yan looked at Duke Fu’s distracted expression and knew that it wouldn’t be a good idea to discuss it with him. He put all the divine immortal pills in the house into a bag and turned around to discuss it with Madam Tang.
BoxNovel.comWhen Madam Tang heard Chu Yan’s words, she was so frightened that she grabbed Chu Yan and said in fear, “Master, if the imperial family finds out about this and reports it, we’ll be in trouble. Hurry up and find my father to think of a way.”
When Chu Yan heard that Madam Tang wanted him to look for her father, he couldn’t help but feel a little afraid. His father-in-law was a censor. Could he tell him about this?
It was better to discuss it with Second Brother. They were all in the same boat now. If they didn’t work together to think of a foolproof plan, the entire family would be exiled after the incident!
After thinking it through, Chu Yan said to Madam Tang, “Madam, I think we should discuss this with Second Brother first and hear his opinion before going back to discuss it with Father-in-law.”
When Madam Tang heard this, she thought about it and felt that it made sense. “Up to you. It’s good to discuss it with Brother-in-law first.”
Chu Yan looked at his wife in relief. “That’s not the only thing I have to worry about. I heard from Father that the Prince Consort is also taking this. I wonder if there are any other nobles and ministers taking it in the capital?”
After a pause, he continued, “Also, why did that woman commit suicide? Is there someone with ulterior motives who wants to play tricks in the capital? Interrogate that bitch from the Yu family and ask her where the dead woman came from? Who did she sell those things to?”
Madam Tang nodded. “I’ll go now.”
Madam Tang went to the room where Yu Yan was imprisoned and saw Yu Yan thrown to the ground like a rag. She bent down and took off the hemp core that was stuck in her mouth. She looked at her with disdain. “Let me tell you, that thing is forbidden by the Imperial Court. You better tell me honestly. Who is the woman on Osmanthus Street? Who did you sell those things to? Otherwise, you’ll be imprisoned!”
Yu Yan looked up at Madam Tang in shame and regret. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have thought of entering the Regional King’s Mansion. Wasn’t it good to be the mistress of Duke Fu? Now, she had been harmed by Madam Gao.
Seeing Yu Yan lower her head and not say anything, Madam Tang shouted,
“Madam Yu. are you going to sav it or not?”
Yu Yan looked at Madam Tang and cried, “Princess Consort, I don’t know that that thing is a forbidden item of the Imperial Court, nor do I know where Madam Gao is from. I only know that she’s a physician and knows how to treat some women’s illnesses.
I only got to know her not long after I met the county lord. She was the one who gave me the pills and said that the county lord would agree to marry me into the residence as the county princess. I listened to her and gave the pills to the county lord. The county lord was indeed very satisfied. After a few days, he agreed to marry me.”
Madam Tang looked at Yu Yan in disgust. What a bitch. She even wanted to climb up the social ladder and become a phoenix. She was so angry that she pinched her soft flesh. Seeing that Yu Yan was trembling in pain, she stopped. “Apart from the Prince Consort, who else bought the pills?”
Yu Yan did not dare to tell them that Madam Gao had asked her to send the pills to the palace. She said with a trembling voice, “I only know that the Prince Consort bought it. Madam Gao said that this thing is not easy to obtain. She even said that she would give me a dividend after selling it.”
“Pfft!” Madam Tang looked at Yu Yan and spat angrily. “You shallow thing. Even a low-grade servant is more knowledgeable than you. Are you worthy of being the county princess? Why don’t you weigh yourself first!”
Madam Tang angrily picked up the hemp pit on the ground, pinched Yu Yan’s mouth, and gagged her. She came out of the room and got someone to close the door before walking back.
Seeing that the door was closed again, Yu Yan realized that there was not even a person helping her send news outside in this deep courtyard. She could not even die. Yu Yan was filled with regret and could not help but whimper.
Madam Tang went back and told Chu Yan about her interrogation of Yu Yan. She looked at him and said, “That bitch only has these few words. Go and discuss the countermeasures with Brother-in-law first!”
Chu Yan found his second brother, Chu Xiao, and told him what had happened. He looked at the silent Chu Xiao and asked a moment later, “What do you think we should do now? Our family will prosper and perish together. If this matter is not resolved, the Regional King’s Mansion will be taken back.”
Chu Xiao thought for a while and looked up at Chu Yan. “Brother, I’ll tell you my opinion. I think you should make it clear to the Imperial Family.”
Stunned, Chu Yan looked at him and said, “Go on.”
“Big Brother, think about it. The women on Osmanthus Street took poison and committed suicide. This matter is definitely not as simple as selling medicine. That bitch Madam Yu doesn’t know anything. We don’t know where their accomplices are hiding either. Also, those guards and Imperial Physician Wu, how are we going to seal their mouths?”
“Even if we spend a Herculean effort to seal these people’s mouths, what if that woman’s accomplices use this matter to threaten us to work for them? Are we going to do it or not?”
“Think about it. We didn’t know about this at all. We only realized that something was wrong with Father’s body. After investigating, we realized that that bitch, Madam Yu, had given Father those pills. After getting someone to check, we realized that it was that thing. Let’s send Madam Yu to the Imperial Family and hand the matter to the Imperial Family to deal with. That’ll be it!”
Chu Yan looked at Chu Xiao in admiration. He did not expect his usually quiet second brother to have such a brain. It seemed that he could not underestimate honest people.
“Second Brother, it’s a good thing I came to discuss it with you. I think your analysis is right. I’ll bring people to send that bitch Yu to the imperial family and explain the matter to them.”
Chu Xiao smiled faintly. “Brother, we’re biological brothers. Why are you so polite?! I think we should bring Father along. His relationship with the Imperial Clan elders is better than ours.”
Chu Yan nodded. “Alright, alright. Let’s go find Father and send that bitch Yu to the Imperial Family.”
The elder reprimanded Duke Fu and punished him to go back and reflect on his mistakes. They got someone to detain Yu Yan and send someone to the capital government office to report the case before hurriedly entering the palace with the medicinal pills.
After Chu Yuhao found out about Duke Fu’s family, he suspected that Madam Gao was on the Second Prince’s side. He sent secret guards to keep an eye on Madam Gao’s house and lie in wait for the mastermind..
