My husband married a concubine? I turned around and married the cold prince.

Chapter 262 The murderer is Liu Yiyi

"What's wrong? I heard that she had a stroke before. Besides, she's old now, so it's normal for her to die of a sudden illness."

Shi Qiuwu saw that there was nothing unusual on An Qingqian's expression, and he knew in his heart that he was thinking too much.

An Qingqian really just thought this matter was strange.

"She didn't suddenly contract a disease, but was poisoned to death."

"Poisoned?"

"Well, I don't know the details of the news just received from there, but there must be something wrong with this matter. I have sent someone to investigate."

"What are you worried about?" Shi Qiuwu noticed that An Qingqian looked a little unhappy.

He knew how harshly Zhang had treated An Qingqian, and he also knew that An Qingqian was not the kind of person who would repay evil with kindness.

She would never be sad about Zhang's death.

"I think it's very likely that Liu Yiyi did this, but Liu Yiyi is still seriously injured and hasn't recovered yet, so I think there's something fishy about this."

"Do you want me to send someone to investigate this matter as well?" Shi Qiuwu stared at An Qingqian, with a strange light in his eyes.

"No, there's no need to involve too many people in such a small matter. If you're curious, wait for Yingyi to come back and I'll ask her to tell you about it."

An Qingqian shook her head. Recently, because of the arranged marriage, many people were keeping an eye on Prince Xian's Mansion and the General's Mansion. Although it wasn't a big deal, they still had to be careful.

"Well, okay then. By the way, Qianqian, tell me, if Xue Wanxian died recently, would it affect you?" Shi Qiuwu tested cautiously.

"Huh? Why would his death affect me?" An Qingqian turned to look at Shi Qiuwu suspiciously, not understanding what he meant.

"Do you think I will be too happy about this?" An Qingqian asked back.

"Ah, no, just asking casually." Shi Qiuwu was sure that An Qingqian no longer had any feelings for Xue Wanxian, and he felt completely relieved.

If it weren't for the fact that his wedding to An Qingqian was approaching, he really wanted to kill Xue Wanxian.

An Qingqian's people didn't find out, but his people did find out that Xue Wanxian's behavior had been unusually strange in recent times.

Xue Wanxian personally painted a portrait of An Qingqian and hung it in his study, and he would stay in the study for a long time almost every day.

Shi Qiuwu always felt uncomfortable with this. What did Xue Wanxian mean by this?

Now that he and An Qingqian are divorced, does he know how good An Qingqian is?

Moreover, Shi Qiuwu's people also found out that Xue Wanxian seemed to have lost his soul since he heard that he and An Qingqian were granted marriage.

He drinks all day and doesn't care about anything in the mansion.

Shi Qiuwu ordered someone to burn the portrait of An Qingqian in the study, but the next day, Xue Wanxian painted a new one.

After several times in a row, Shi Qiuwu was already very impatient.

So, he decided to put an end to it all and killed Xue Wanxian directly.

As the two were talking, Yingyi came back from outside.

When Yingyi saw Shi Qiuwu was there, she didn't react much, because she was really used to it.

"This servant has greeted the prince."

"Yingyi, what's the situation over there?"

Yingyi did not answer immediately, but looked at Shi Qiuwu.

An Qingqian lowered her eyes and smiled, "Just say it directly, he is not an outsider."

As soon as An Qingqian said this, Shi Qiuwu couldn't control the corners of his mouth. He turned around and looked at An Qingqian with a smile, his eyes full of smiles.

“Miss, the mastermind behind this is Liu Yiyi.

Doctor Qi from Renshan Hall, following Liu Yiyi's orders, was looking for an opportunity to poison Zhang. Yesterday, Xiao Cui, a maid from Changshou Hall, fell ill. Doctor Qi ran into her by chance and after asking her carefully, he found out that it was someone from Changshou Hall.

Doctor Qi treated Xiao Cui without charging a penny, but only asked her to add a packet of medicine into Zhang's soup bowl when possible.

Xiao Cui had been tortured by Zhang and Nanny Chen for many days and could no longer bear it. When she heard about this, she did not refuse.

That’s why Zhang died of poisoning today.”

"So that's how it is." An Qingqian nodded slightly. The facts were not much different from what she expected. The real culprit behind the scenes was indeed Liu Yiyi.

"Has Xue Wanxian found out?" An Qingqian asked again, and Shi Qiuwu also looked at Yingyi.

"No, Xiao Cui couldn't bear the torture, and she poisoned Zhang and then committed suicide.

The matter between her and Doctor Qi was told to me by her good friend Xiao Guo. Xue Wanxian found Xiao Cui, but Xiao Cui died, and the matter became a clueless case. "

"Can the maid named Xiaoguo be trusted?" Shi Qiuwu asked casually.

"In reply to the prince, Xiaoguo was arranged by the young lady to stay in the Lin'an Marquis' Mansion. She is trustworthy. Moreover, I also promised that as long as she tells me the truth, I will find a way to return her indenture to her. Therefore, she told me everything."

"Does Xiaoguo have anything else to say?" An Qingqian didn't know what she was thinking about and continued to speak.

"Miss, you are very wise. Xiaoguo also said that Doctor Qi gave Xiaocui a packet of medicine and asked her to find a way to add it to Baihe's diet. However, Xiaocui did not seem to intend to do so. Before she died, she gave the packet of poison to Xiaoguo."

"Miss, I checked the package of medicine. It's just ordinary poison arsenic. There's nothing special about it."

"So, Xue Wanxian has no intention of making the truth known to the world?"

“I heard from Xiao Guo that except for a few people in Changshou Hall who knew that Zhang was poisoned, everyone else thought that Zhang had a sudden illness because she had suffered a stroke before, so no one suspected anything.

Moreover, the clues were gone, Xiao Cui, who had poisoned him, was dead, and Xue Wanxian didn't want the incident to become too big and bring shame to the Lin'an Marquisate, so he didn't plan to investigate further. "

"Hmph, you are indeed a heartless and ungrateful person." An Qingqian sneered.

His own mother died, but since nothing could be found out, the case was dismissed hastily. If Zhang knew about this, she would probably be so angry that she would crawl out of the coffin.

"Okay, Yingyi, I know about this matter, you can go down."

"Miss, do you want me to go to Liu Yiyi again to check on her condition?" Yingyi asked curiously.

"No need. I've asked Qing Cang to go check on Liu Yiyi. I think she'll be back soon."

As soon as An Qingqian finished speaking, Qingcang walked in from outside.

When he saw Shi Qiuwu was there, he was stunned at first, and then he bowed to him.

"Miss, the person named Liu Yiyi can get out of bed and walk around. His face is rosy and he seems to have recovered a lot. There is nothing unusual about him."

"Can you get out of bed already?" An Qingqian couldn't help but be a little shocked.

"That's right. When I went there, I saw her maid helping her walk on the ground." Qing Cang nodded affirmatively.

"It's impossible. It's only been a few days. Her injuries were so serious. How could she recover so well in just a few days?" An Qingqian couldn't hide her surprise.
