After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

Chapter 203: Opening the altar



Chapter 203: Opening the altar

Yu Qingli politely saluted Wang, and Yu Zhenzhen, who came in later, also saluted. She quickly stepped forward, shook Wang's hand, and said, "Mother, are you okay?"

Wang shook her head, a look of horror on her face, "Mother is fine, she's just a little scared."

Yu Zhenzhen has been recuperating in Xiyuan these days and has never left. She has finally recovered, but she heard such news again. She is really depressed. What happened?

This year has been especially strange!

Looking at the mother and daughter in front of her, Yu Qingli sneered. Harming others will eventually harm yourself. Now, it is just a warning to them in advance. If they don't restrain themselves, she doesn't mind sending them to find the Yinhuan sisters to keep them company!

His heart was chilled, but his expression remained calm as he said, "Auntie, what on earth is going on? I heard from the servants that Yinhuan hanged herself in front of your room. How could this happen out of the blue..."

"Miss, I'm worried about this. Master has decided to investigate this matter thoroughly, so please be patient."

Wang's answer was so flawless that Yu Qingli couldn't find any fault with it. However, Yu Qingli was not one to be dismissed so easily. "Auntie, it's not that I'm impatient. After all, the one who died was the maid I brought from Luoyang. She died out of the blue, and she died in your courtyard. How can I sit still?"

"What else do you want? My mother has already said that Daddy will handle this matter when he returns, so don't be so stubborn."

Yu Zhenzhen interrupted from the side. She really couldn't stand Yu Qingli. Why was she so unreasonable?!

Yu Qingli glanced at Yu Zhenzhen coldly, leaving her speechless. Her sharp eyes seemed to be warning Yu Zhenzhen that if she said another word, she would inevitably take action.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Cui quickly stood up and said to the maids behind her, "Are you all blind? The two young ladies are here, why don't you make some tea quickly?"

Yu Qingli was not polite either. Since she was putting on a show, she had to do it to the fullest. Mei Hong, who was standing behind her, looked at Yu Qingli like this and thought to herself, "It seems that the young lady has changed a little!"

He sat there for several hours, and by the time Yu Zhengsha came home from court, it was almost noon.

When Yu Zhengsha stepped into Dangui Garden, he saw everyone gathered together, as if they were waiting for his arrival. Thinking of what happened in the morning, Yu Zhengsha couldn't help but frown.

Wang and Cui were relieved to see Yu Zhengsha coming back. Yu Zhenzhen seemed to have found a backer, and a proud look returned to her face. Only Yu Qingli saluted Yu Zhengsha with an indifferent look. She believed that without Yu Zhengsha's approval, Wang would never have the courage to do such a thing.

When she saw Yinhuan's body, Yu Qingli suddenly thought of her dead mother, Yu Zhengsha. Next, the person he would deal with should be herself, right? But she, Yu Qingli, would never die so easily!

Footsteps could be heard at the door. Yu Qingli looked up and saw Jiang Bai, dressed in a grey robe, approaching the hall with a cold expression. Upon seeing Yu Zhengsha return, he quickly reported, "Master, the matter has been settled."

"Oh, how was it?"

"I have already had someone come and examine the body. The maid was indeed hanged at approximately 12:00 in the morning. However, the strange thing is that the servants who were on duty at the time said that they did not find the maid."

"Was it suicide or homicide?!"

"It's very likely suicide!" Jiang Bai reported truthfully. Although he was very skeptical about it, the fact that several coroners said the same thing probably only proved that he was overthinking it.

Yu Zhengsha frowned. Suicide?! And he even went to Dangui Garden on purpose. Was he trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife?

"Which courtyard is this maid from?"

Jiang Bai shifted his gaze to Yu Qingli, but quickly turned away. "That maid is called Yinhuan. She was brought from Luoyang by the eldest lady."

Yu Zhengsha glanced at Yu Qingli and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

Yu Qingli said coldly, "Father's question is really strange. My maid died in Aunt Wang's yard. Shouldn't Aunt Wang be the one to explain?"

"What do you mean?" Yu Zhenzhen spoke angrily before Yu Zhengsha could even speak.

"I'm just telling you the truth. You don't have to get too excited." Yu Qingli said, looking at Yu Zhengsha with a questioning look. "So, what does father think about this matter?"

Yu Zhengsha glanced at Yu Qingli coldly. He had naturally noticed the strangeness of this matter a long time ago, but if the rumor of a murder in the Prime Minister's Mansion spread, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, the best result was to make a small matter out of a big one.

Yu Qingli knew very well what Yu Zhengsha's intentions and thoughts were. She just wanted to see to what extent this matter would develop. After the other party knew that she would not sit idly by, what actions would he take next?

It gave her some anticipation!

"Since the autopsy results indicate suicide, there's no point in continuing the investigation. Let's have the body buried as soon as possible."

Yu Zhengsha's voice was indifferent, as if such things were very common to him.

"How can we just let it go like this, Master? Even if it was suicide, why would Yinhuan come to Dangui Garden to kill herself for no reason? Master, don't you think this is too strange?"

Surprisingly, Cui actually asked.

Yu Qingli glanced at Cui with a scrutinizing look, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. So that's it! Cui and Wang, who seemed to have always had a good relationship, seemed to be in a different situation than she saw.

It makes sense. Wang gave birth to a son and a daughter for Yu Zhengsha, while Cui had no children at all. Not to mention that Wang's status in the mansion would always be higher than Cui's, Cui's life might not be easy in the future.

So, can this incident be understood as Cui wanting to use himself or Yu Zhengsha to weaken Wang's position?

This was really beyond Yu Qingli's expectations, but this development was exactly what Yu Qingli wanted.

He stared at Yu Zhengsha, wanting to see what he would do next.

From Yu Zhengsha's words, Wang guessed his intention. After calming down and thinking carefully, she felt that this might be the best way to deal with it, to make a big deal out of a small matter. Otherwise, the fact that she had poisoned Yu Qingli might also be investigated.

The charge of murdering the future princess is not something she can afford!

Yu Zhengsha gave Cui a cold look, as if it was a warning, but also as if it was a sign of dissatisfaction. Cui shrank back and did not continue asking questions. Obviously, she did not dare to ask any further.

Yu Zhengsha concluded, "Well, that's it. I'll make amends to the maid's family later. Anyway, this matter ends here."

When Yu Zhenzhen wanted to say something else, Wang stopped her with a look.

Jiang Bai accepted the order and left. Just when Yu Zhengsha told everyone to go back, Wang suddenly said, "Master, a lot of things have happened in the mansion recently. First, Zhenzhen fell ill for no apparent reason, and then this maid committed suicide. I'm worried..."

Wang stopped talking in time, but she believed that Yu Zhengsha must know what she wanted to express. In this regard, they have always had a tacit understanding.

Sure enough, Yu Zhengsha didn't even ask any questions after hearing this, "I'll leave these matters to you!"

"Then tomorrow I will invite the eminent monk from the Fahua Temple to come to my house and perform a ritual, hoping to dispel some of the evil spirit."

Yu Zhengsha nodded and turned to look at Yu Qingli. "Yu Qingli, since the maid you brought with you is dead, then choose a new one."

"Don't worry, father. I can handle the maid's affairs myself." Yu Qingli said lightly.

"fair enough."

Yu Zhengsha had no intention of staying any longer. After giving his instructions, he turned around and left Dangui Garden.

Yu Qingli also turned around and left. Although the scene was not as exciting as she had imagined, she clearly felt that Wang seemed to be planning the next good show.

"Meihong, let's go back too."

Yu Qingli spoke lightly, stood up and left. This time, it was at most a draw. After all, she sacrificed the silver ring.

A day passed quickly, and Xiluo returned to Yu Qingli smoothly according to the previous arrangement, and announced to the outside world that he was a bought servant.

Mei Hong was not so disgusted with the new maid. After the incident with Yinhuan, she suddenly felt that if there was one more person serving Yu Qingli in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she would feel safer.

The fake silver ring was quickly disposed of. Since there were only the two sisters when they entered the mansion, the subsequent matters went very smoothly.

Early the next morning, Yu Qingli was awakened by the noise outside the door. The sound of wooden fish made her feel a little irritated.

"What happened outside?" Yu Qingli asked with some displeasure.

"Miss, there are several monks performing rituals at the entrance of Liuliju..." Mei Hong answered carefully.

Yu Qingli frowned. At the entrance of Liuli Residence? So that's what happened. This time, he wanted to use the power of ghosts and gods to deal with him?!

How ridiculous!

She had crawled out of hell. Did you think this little trick could trap her? It would just be a little troublesome.

But she will be able to solve these troubles soon!

"Xiluo, drive them away!"

"Yes!"

Xi Luo arrived outside the Liuli Residence swiftly. Several monks were sitting at the door of the Liuli Residence, holding wooden fishes and chanting something. In front of them was a table with the smell of sandalwood curling above it.

Wang and other female relatives stood behind the monks, looking very pious, but to Xiluo, such a scene was extremely ridiculous!

"Get out!" Xiluo walked to the table and ordered the monks who were beating the wooden fish in a cold voice.

"How dare you blaspheme God?!" said one of the leading monks.

Xiluo said coldly: "Don't make me say it a second time!"
