Chapter 201: Complacent Zhang Qingsha
Chapter 201: Complacent Zhang Qingsha
"Qingsha, that's not what I meant. You are my daughter, and I certainly hope that you can have a good home and live a life of luxury. But, I always feel that what happened today is a little strange."
"Strange? What's weird?"
"Mother asks you, how come such a thing happened between you and Prince Cheng in such a big mansion, and was caught by others? Prince Yong and the Marquis brought so many people to see it."
At this point, Huang paused for a moment, then looked at her daughter seriously, "Qingsha, tell me what happened after you and I separated today."
Zhang Qingsha blinked and was reluctant to say anything, but when she saw her mother's eyes, she told Huang everything that happened afterwards without missing a word.
"You mean, you suddenly fainted, and when you woke up, that thing happened between you and King Cheng?" After listening to Zhang Qingsha's narration, Huang frowned even more.
This was clearly a frame-up, and King Cheng was also plotted against. No wonder King Cheng looked so ugly today.
But, is Zhang really so capable that he can design to become king?
Just as Huang was thinking about it, she suddenly saw Aunt Qiu running in from outside in a panic.
"Madam Qiu, you are becoming more and more unruly." Zhang Qingsha glared at the person who broke into the room.
Nanny Qiu was stunned and looked at Zhang Qingsha with a hint of disbelief. After all, she was Huang's personal nanny and had almost watched Zhang Qingsha grow up. How could she speak to her with such a look and in such a tone?
"Okay, Aunt Qiu, has something happened?" Huang looked at Aunt Qiu.
Aunt Qiu has been with her for most of her life, so she wouldn't be so unruly. Something important must have happened, so she barged in when the mother and daughter were talking.
"Madam, something big has happened. I just went out to ask around, and I learned that something big has happened in the Marquis' Mansion." Madam Qiu looked grim.
"What's the matter? Just tell me. You've been talking on and on for so long but haven't made anything clear." Zhang Qingsha looked at Aunt Qiu with disdain.
She was going to the palace soon. If everyone here was like this, wouldn't it be a loss of face for her if she took them with her?
"Madam, Miss, the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion has suffered a stroke and is in a very serious condition. I heard from the maid over there that the doctor who came to treat her said that she might have to lie in bed for the rest of her life and need someone to take care of her."
Aunt Qiu didn't understand why Zhang Qingsha suddenly started to dislike her so much, but she didn't care too much about it and just thought that her spoiled daughter's temper had come back.
"What? Stroke?" When Huang heard the news, her eyes widened and she stood up from the couch in shock.
"When did this happen?"
"After the banquet, the Marquis went to the Changshou Hall. For some reason, everyone in the hall fainted, including the old lady and Nanny Chen. The Marquis went to see a doctor, and the doctor said that the old lady had suffered a stroke."
Aunt Qiu told the two people in detail the information she had heard.
"Wait, you mean, after the banquet, the Marquis found that everyone in Changshou Hall had fainted. Let me ask you, did the old lady and Nanny Chen not show up at the banquet all day?"
Huang thought about her guess just now. She originally thought that it was Zhang who designed the incident between Zhang Qingsha and Cheng Wang, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"Madam, I have inquired and found out that almost no one from Changshou Hall came out this morning. Madam and Nanny Chen have also been in Changshou Hall the entire time.
I spent a tael of silver and found out that the incense in the old lady's hall had been replaced by someone, and the person who did it was a maid from Furong Courtyard."
As Aunt Qiu spoke, she lowered her voice and her expression was very solemn.
That means that what happened today was not done by Zhang at all. Even if Liu Yiyi wanted to plot against Zhang Qingsha, she didn't dare to plot against King Cheng directly. But, who else could it be except them?
Why did Liu Yiyi replace the calming incense in Changshou Hall?
Huang didn't know much about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, so she had no idea why all this was happening.
However, she didn't want to worry about the affairs of Zhang and Liu Yiyi. What she wanted to know now was who had schemed against Zhang Qingsha and King Cheng.
Also, Zhang has suffered a stroke now, so it would be difficult for them to rely on her again.
Huang just felt her mind was in a mess. Why did everything happen on the same day?
When Zhang Qingsha heard the news that Zhang had suffered a stroke, she did not react much.
Anyway, she came to the Lin'an Marquis Mansion to find a good marriage for herself. Now that her goal has been achieved, Zhang is no longer of any use to her.
Whether she is dead or alive, it will not affect her future identity and status.
Now she just needs to stay here and wait for King Cheng to marry her in ten days.
From now on, if there is any benefit, it will be the Zhang family that will benefit.
As for the Lin'an Marquis Mansion, if Xue Wanxian is willing to help her, they can just help each other. If Xue Wanxian does nothing, then they should not even think about getting anything from him.
Zhang Qingsha had beautiful ideas, but she thought too highly of herself and believed that everything would develop according to her ideas. But how was this possible?
"Madam Qiu, please continue to inquire and find out what happened. The old lady was fine before, why did she suddenly have a stroke? Also, what happened to the calming incense? Was it Liu Yiyi who ordered it, or was it someone else who pretended to be someone from Furongyuan?"
Huang was becoming more and more uneasy. She originally didn't want to care about it, but when she thought about it, all these things actually happened today.
Huang felt that they seemed to be caught in a big net and were being plotted against at every step, so it would be better for her to investigate it thoroughly.
Now Zhang Qingsha has not moved into Prince Cheng's Mansion yet. Before things are successful, they must be careful about everything.
"Yes, ma'am." Aunt Qiu nodded.
She also realized that there must be something wrong.
Zhang Qingsha didn't care about this at all. When she saw Huang's serious expression, she felt a little unhappy.
"Mother, why do you care about these things? I'm getting married soon, what will I do with my dowry? We only have ten days now, and it's too late to rush back to Anzhou to find my father."
Compared with Zhang's situation, Zhang Qingsha is more concerned about her own affairs.
Huang was also troubled when she heard this, "Qingsha, don't worry, even if it's a short time, mother will definitely let you marry in style."
"Thank you, mother." After hearing Huang's assurance, Zhang Qingsha happily hugged Huang's arm and acted coquettishly.
