Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder She Wants to Be a Vicious Female Supporting Role

Chapter 144: The Marquis’s Wife Faking Her Death (48)

"Mumu, my child!"

Seeing this, Lin Qingqing could no longer bear it, snatched the child into her arms, and cried bitterly.

Mu Ziyi collapsed to the ground as if all his energy and spirit had been suddenly drained away.

Lan Xin, who was watching this scene through the system live broadcast, looked at the system Tuanzi with some confusion, "Tuanzi, who poisoned Mu Ziyi's son?"

System Tuanzi: "It was Madam Hou who arranged for someone to poison her."

"Madam Hou?"

Lan Xin was a little skeptical. She touched her chin and thought, "That's not the case. Even if she dislikes Lin Qingqing and her son, he is her only grandson after all. She wouldn't want to kill Lin Qingqing's son, would she?"

The system nodded, "The target that Madam Hou wanted to poison was indeed not Lin Qingqing's son, but Lin Qingqing herself."

"It's just that Lin Qingqing's luck hasn't run out yet, and no one else can kill her. So the poison prepared by Madam Hou was eaten by Lin Qingqing's son."

"Is this considered karma?"

Lan Xin looked at this tragic scene, and if she were to ask herself how much sympathy she had, she really didn't have any.

In the previous life, he was poisoned to death by Madam Hou and Lin Qingqing.

In this life, these two people poisoned each other, one was poisoned to death directly, and the other's only son was poisoned to death. This can be regarded as retribution and reincarnation.

As for the child's innocence, he can only blame himself for having a cruel mother and a cruel grandmother.

If he didn't have such a mother and grandmother, he wouldn't have become a victim of the house fight between his mother and grandmother.

............

Because a doctor from outside was invited in, the news that the grandmother and grandson of the Marquis's family died on the same day was not concealed. It spread throughout the capital in an instant, and almost everyone knew about it.

"Did you hear about that?"

"I heard that the old lady and grandson of the Marquis' Mansion died on the same day."

"It is said that they were all poisoned to death."

"Poisoned? True or false?"

"It should be true. Didn't Madam Hou and her mother-in-law have a fight some time ago?"

"I know that too. Could it be that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were at odds and poisoned each other, with the son and grandson becoming the victims?"

"It's not that the grandmother poisoned her grandson, but that the daughter-in-law poisoned her mother-in-law to avenge her son."

"I don't know about that, but the old lady and the young master of the Marquis' Mansion were poisoned to death on the same day."

In the streets and alleys of the capital, people gathered in groups of three or four, discussing the latest gossip they had heard.

Because of these discussions, the Marquis' Mansion suddenly became the focus of everyone's after-dinner conversation.

However, Mu Ziyi, the person involved, was completely unaware of this.

............

But within a few days, this gossip reached the ears of the emperor.

"What? Mu Ziyi?"

The old emperor was a little shocked when he heard the news. The first thing he thought of was that Mu Ziyi passed away a few years ago and his wife Lan Xin came to ask for an imperial decree using the Lan family's military merits.

"Didn't Mu Ziyi die a few years ago? Why are people still talking about him in the capital?"

The old emperor asked the eunuch who was reporting the news to him below.

The eunuch bent down and replied, "I don't know about this."

The old eunuch looked at the old emperor and speculated, "However, Your Majesty, do you think that this Marquis Mu is a spy sent by another country to impersonate him?"

"After all, when Lord Mu was buried, I personally witnessed it when I went to announce the decree. The coffin was completely sealed, so it was impossible for him to be alive."
