The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98: Chapter 89: The Medicine (Second Update)

The Marquis Gu began to order a thorough investigation of the Yao family’s poison case.

According to the two maids, the medicine was decocted by Nurse Fang and also sent by her. They were dispatched by Nurse Fang to deliver things to Gu Jinyu. After that, they knew nothing.

“Bring Nurse Fang!” The Marquis Gu ordered coldly.

Soon, there was a report from a servant, “Master, Nurse Fang is missing!”

Marquis Gu’s palm clenched tightly into a fist.

Quickly, he remembered that Nurse Fang still had a niece in his residence: “What about the maid called Cuicui? Bring her to me!”

“Yes!” The servant went on his way.

In order not to attract attention, Nurse Fang had not taken Cuicui away.

When Cuicui realized that something seemed wrong, she hurriedly packed up and left, but it was too late. She was caught by the guards at Villa.

When she was brought to the Marquis Gu, she learned that the Yao family had been poisoned.

Anyone could guess that Nurse Fang was the poisoner even without a brain.

Cuicui sank to her knees, shivering and pleading,” Master, have mercy! I didn’t do it! I don’t know anything! I’m innocent!”

Marquis Gu said, “Innocent? Then let me ask you, how did my wife faint?”

Cuicui stammered, “It’s….It’s….”

Marquis Gu mocked, “Well then, if this tongue is of no use, why not pull it out!”

Cuicui trembled: “I will talk! I will tell you everything! It was Nurse Fang…Nurse Fang who made me do it! She made me purposely tell the mistress what I overheard!”

A tight feeling rose within Marquis Gu’s chest,” What did you say?”

Cuicui frightened, “I… I said… the young miss is not.. not of flesh and blood … it was a misunderstanding…”

“Damn it!” Marquis Gu was so furious that he smashed a teacup with a blow of his hand.

Cuicui crawled on the broken pieces of the teacup, her hands bleeding, but she didn’t dare to move: “Master, have mercy… it was Nurse Fang who forced me…”

Marquis Gu looked solemn,”So… was she silenced?”

Whether she was silenced or not, Huang Zhong didn’t dare to speculate, but he was sure that Nurse Fang was murdered.

Marquis Gu was silent for a while,”I see. In these days, beef up the security at the Villa, besides Nurse Fang, dismiss everyone around my wife.”

“Yes!”

Marquis Gu went to Madame Yao’s room.

Nurse Fang was also ill; she had been keeping vigil in the room and did not look well. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

Marquis Gu said to her,”Lay down and rest, you don’t have to come over tonight.”

But Nurse Fang did not retreat immediately, instead, she courageously asked,”Master, are you still insisting on taking the mistress back to the Marquis Residence?”

“Why do you ask?” Marquis Gu said.

Nurse Fang said with heartfelt anxiety, “I know our master loves the mistress, but I fear that no one in the Marquis Residence would welcome her back, except for the master himself.”
