Chapter 250 Backstab
Normally at this time, almost everyone is asleep.
At this moment, I am relying on strong tea to sustain myself.
I don’t know how many times the candles in the house have been snuffed out.
Finally, a burst of orderly footsteps came from afar towards Ruixuan Hall.
At the sound of footsteps, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
The only ones who could cause such a big commotion in the Marquis's Mansion were the group of so-called servants employed by the old Marquis, but in fact they were the family soldiers supported by the whole clan.
These people are the old marquis's confidants. They don't take care of things and don't show up on weekdays.
The emergence of SLR cameras was a big deal.
The orderly footsteps stopped outside Ruixuan Hall.
The yard was already brightly lit, as bright as day.
The door of the hall was open at this moment, and everyone could see a burly man walking in from outside the yard.
There was a scar on his face, stretching diagonally from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth, running through half of his face.
A gust of wind blew, the lights flickered, and the face looked particularly terrifying.
Both Sun and Zhao let out a low cry of surprise, then turned their heads away, not daring to look again.
Even Qin and Lan, although they did not scream out loud, their faces turned pale.
Only Lu Zhenzhen watched without blinking.
I thought to myself: What a handsome and manly man!
Look at the toned muscles under the single piece of clothing, the bulging pectoral muscles, the waist, and the legs. She is simply a walking hormone machine.
Even the scars on his face looked particularly charming.
It's simply a man's medal!
Lu Zhenzhen was fascinated by what she saw, and her eyes kept glancing at the man again and again.
Fu Zhiyi was still worried whether Lu Zhenzhen would be scared by this man.
He looked over with great concern, and wow, not only was his wife not scared, she was looking right at him.
I took a deep breath and comforted myself, thinking that everything was fine, at least my wife was not scared!
I endured it for a moment and looked over again. Lu Zhenzhen was still looking.
I continued to comfort myself, thinking that my wife had never seen a man like this, so it was normal for her to look at him for a while longer.
When the man walked into the hall, passed by Lu Zhenzhen, he went forward to pay his respects to the old marquis.
"I am Fu Shan, your subordinate, and I pay my respects to the Marquis!"
Huh! It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything. As soon as she did, Lu Zhenzhen's eyes lit up even brighter.
But Fu Zhiyi was very angry.
He cleared his throat and reminded Lu Zhenzhen that this was in front of their elders, so she should at least restrain herself.
Who knew that Lu Zhenzhen turned a deaf ear and even watched with a smile.
If Fu Zhiyi knew that there would be a word called "fangirl smile" in the future, he would definitely use it on Lu Zhenzhen.
It’s a pity that he didn’t know it, and only felt that the smile was very dazzling.
At least, Lu Zhenzhen had never smiled at him like this before!
For a moment, Fu Zhiyi only regretted that he was too far away from Lu Zhenzhen. It would be too conspicuous if he went over to grab someone's ears now.
He gritted his teeth with hatred and swore that when he returned to Tingtaoju, he would definitely give Lu Zhenzhen a good beating.
It was Sun again. Seeing Fu Shan coming forward to pay his respects to the old marquis, she quickly turned her head back and met Lu Zhenzhen's bright eyes. She was not afraid at all, but was looking at her with admiration.
Stunned: "Aren't you afraid?"
Lu Zhenzhen was puzzled: "What are you afraid of?"
Sun came over and whispered some scientific information to Lu Zhenzhen.
It turned out that Fu Shan was an orphan picked up from a pile of dead bodies by the old marquis. After being saved by the old marquis, he recognized the old marquis as his master and was extremely loyal.
The scar on his face was the injury he suffered when he saved the old marquis.
He spoke in a low and hoarse voice, which was caused by drinking poisoned wine for the old marquis, which damaged his throat.
Therefore, Fu Shan was extremely respectable in front of the old marquis and was also his most trusted confidant.
Whenever there was any difficult matter, the old marquis would hand it over to Fu Shan.
Even people of Fu Zhijian's generation had to respectfully call Fu Shan "Uncle Shan" when they saw him.
When Fu Zhijian and his brothers were young, they learned martial arts from Fu Shan to keep fit.
Up to now, only Fu Zhiyi has inherited some of Fu Shan's true teachings.
……
Sun was babble-ing on the side, and Lu Zhenzhen nodded as she listened, stealing a glance at Fu Shan.
She felt that she was being very discreet, but to Fu Zhiyi who had been keeping an eye on her, it was obvious.
Even Fu Shan, with his extremely sharp five senses, noticed Lu Zhenzhen's gaze, but there was no malice in that look, only curiosity, amazement and admiration.
Fu Shan then pretended not to notice.
However, he caught a glimpse of Lu Zhenzhen and immediately recognized her as the fourth young lady who had just been married into the mansion.
Looking at Fu Zhiyi standing beside him, although it was hard to tell from his face, he was the child he had taught for many years, so it was obvious that he was sulking.
It was funny all of a sudden, they were still children!
But this all happened in the blink of an eye.
Fu Shan quickly collected his thoughts and reported seriously, "I followed the blood swallow clue and found out that the blood swallows were sent by the eldest wife's family, weighing one pound. They have been kept in the eldest wife's private vault and are kept by Li Rong, the eldest wife's maid."
"I checked the dosage and the quantities matched. The remaining bird's nest was sent to a miracle doctor for examination, and no toxins were found."
"The small kitchen has also been checked. Every day, the small kitchen goes to Li Rong's house to collect the bird's nest. After it is cooked in the small kitchen, it is divided into two portions, one for the first wife and the other for the great grandmother."
"Everyone who was involved has been detained and interrogated."
"The house they lived in and the people they came into contact with are also being checked."
"I sent people to Li Rong's home. All the family members were detained and interrogated separately. Li Rong's home was also searched."
"We found a certain amount of silver, gold and silver jewelry, and 2,500 taels of silver notes. According to Li Rong, 500 taels of silver notes were recently taken back by Li Rong's family."
"Li Rong's wife cried foul at first, but only after we found the banknotes did she confess. She was the one who made the infertility-inducing powder and hid it in the corner of the small kitchen. The five hundred taels of silver were her reward!"
Upon hearing this, the elder master interrupted Fu Shan and said, "Did the Li Rong family poison the master just for five hundred taels?"
This is unacceptable. She and her husband are the concubines of the eldest wife. They are not only in charge of the eldest wife's dowry, but also many things in the marquis's mansion. The benefits alone are more than five hundred taels a year.
No one with a bit of common sense would stab their master in the back just for a mere five hundred taels.
Fu Shan was not annoyed by what he had said, and his expression remained calm. "The son of the Li Rong family is fond of women. He once fell in love with the daughter of a tenant farmer and forced her to marry him. The girl refused to comply, but the son of the Li Rong family, using the title of Marquis's Mansion, forcibly took her home in the street."
"He pushed the head of the family over, knocking him against a rock and killing him in the street. He was reported to the authorities and thrown into jail."
"Li Rong's family heard about it and begged the eldest wife, hoping that she would use the letter from the Marquis' Mansion to save their son. The eldest wife did not agree, so Li Rong's family held a grudge."
"It just so happens that the person behind the scenes promised Li Rong's family that if they could accomplish this, they would release her son and give him a sum of money so that he could live far away. The five hundred taels of silver note was the deposit given by the person behind the scenes."
That makes sense.
