The cousin is beautiful but ruthless.

Chapter 174 ends abruptly

Has His Highness sent any news?

After returning to the manor, Shen Hanyu asked a question.

Miao Cui shook her head: "Not yet. The General's Mansion incident is strange and they are ruthless. Doctor Li has many children and grandchildren and his relationship with his family is relatively good. He wouldn't be so eager to die."

So it's highly likely that he was threatened, but it's not impossible that Dr. Li's usual medication was switched.

There were many suspicious points, and no inside accomplices were found among the people in the general's mansion.

"It's difficult to investigate. If we really start to suspect someone, there are too many people involved."

If this goes on for too long, it will become difficult to investigate.

"Let's wait for His Highness's news," Miao Cui said, making the bed for Shen Hanyu.

Yang Yueying strictly controls Wei Ming's medication and all her activities, and no one else can get close to her, so it seems unlikely that any problems will arise.

Shen Hanyu's nineteenth birthday is approaching, and Wei Ming's birthday is only a few months away. Whether Wei Ming's fate can be changed depends on these next few months.

Because she now has a good relationship with Wei Ming, Shen Hanyu naturally cannot stand by and watch Wei Ming head towards her original fate.

If the culprit is found this time, Wei Ming will be fine, but the difficulty lies in this matter.

The next day, news came from the Princess's residence that it was Yu Qi who had come.

"To be honest, I've investigated several times, and this matter at the General's Mansion has nothing to do with the General Weiyuan couple. They had been living on the border for a long time and haven't been back for very long. They didn't have time to offend anyone, and there wasn't any major conflict of interest. I think the possibility of that is very small."

Yu Qi handed over a list, which contained complete information about people who had had minor conflicts with the Wei family. Among them were the names of Zhou Yurong and Xiao Ran.

"The most likely source is their residence or Wei Ming. As for Wei Ming, I've also investigated, and it's even less likely that she has offended anyone. I also have the purchase list for that Spring Breeze Intoxication."

Yu Qi took out another set. These things were easy for him to obtain, so helping out was just a matter of course.

Shen Hanyu compared the two lists and found no overlapping names.

"You've seen it too, so the possibility you mentioned is really too small."

At this point, all leads came to an abrupt end.

"Thank you, I'll take another look."

After seeing Yu Qi off, Shen Hanyu pondered the two lists. There were no overlapping names, and they were similar to what Yu Qi had said. The investigation here was unsuccessful, so she could only look for a breakthrough elsewhere.

The main reason is that there's been little progress on Yang Yueying's side, and dragging it out won't do them any good.

For several days in a row, Shen Hanyu would go to the General's Mansion to see Wei Ming, also to hand in her her studies.

“The people in the manor have changed. Doctor Li’s body has been claimed by his family. Mother still reported the matter to the authorities.”

Wei Ming drank the herbal medicine in one gulp, her face contorted with bitterness.

Dr. Li's family is still under investigation, and the situation has reached a stalemate.

“I had people investigate, and it doesn’t seem to be targeting the Wei family; it seems to be targeting only you.”

Shen Hanyu had already given them the list, and it was thanks to this list that they were able to get rid of some people in the mansion.

It was precisely because someone from the General's Mansion was buying Chunfengzui (a type of intoxicating drink) that Shen Hanyu suspected it was only targeting Wei Ming.

But what good would it do if Wei Ming died?

For a moment, Shen Hanyu even wondered if she had implicated Wei Ming, and if the Crown Prince had made a move. If that were the case, Li Huaijiang would definitely have told her, and the fact that Li Huaijiang didn't say anything proved that it wasn't true.

Wei Ming leaned against the soft pillows, looking weary. "What good would it do them if I died? Maybe my uncles and aunts?"

She was the only heir in the General's Mansion. They had always been stationed at the border, and their relationship with their uncles and elders was indeed quite ordinary.

"Uncles and elders of the clan?" Shen Hanyu hadn't considered this point, because Wei Ming rarely mentioned these relatives from the General's Mansion. If she said that, it seemed like she could glean some information from them.

Previously, when Yang Yueying hosted a polo match, none of the relatives from the General's Mansion came.

“If I die, my parents will have to adopt someone from the clan. Maybe that’s why.”

“But your family still has Zhou Siyue, so it’s not up to those clans.”

Wei Ming couldn't help but sigh: "With Si Yue's physical condition, no one takes her seriously. If you scare her even slightly, she'll be half dead. They all think Si Yue won't live for more than a few years."

Moreover, a lame girl who is powerless to even kill a chicken is much easier to deal with than Wei Ming.

Things seemed to be gradually becoming clear, and Shen Hanyu noted down what Wei Ming had said.

Yang Yueying should have been investigating there these past few days, and the results should be out soon, so let's just wait and see.

Did you have Yuanqi check the calming sachet your cousin gave you a couple of days ago?

Wei Ming nodded: "It's just a regular calming incense, but I haven't used it recently, mainly because I don't need it."

Now Wei Ming has learned to be smart; she doesn't believe anyone except her parents until the results are in.

Seeing that Wei Ming was still quick-witted, Shen Hanyu felt relieved.

"You shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you can't be without the heart to guard against them. I don't know much about your cousin, but it's always good to be a little cautious."

Knowing that Wei Ming had a cousin, Shen Hanyu also suspected that Zhou Siyue would benefit from Wei Ming's death.

However, after meeting Zhou Siyue a few times, Wei Ming felt that she didn't seem like that kind of person, and Wei Ming also had a very good impression of Zhou Siyue.

Having been given a second chance at life, Shen Hanyu would not trust Zhou Siyue just because they had met a few times. You can know a person's face but not their heart, and she could not speak too confidently.

Yang Yueying had already arrived at the homes of her relatives in the General's Mansion.

"You suspect us the moment your daughter gets into trouble? You can't just be so unreasonable."

Several uncles sat together, their faces contorted with rage.

Yang Yueying smiled slightly: "I didn't mean anything by it. I just came to check, and I hope that my uncles and elders can understand my heart as a mother."

“We understand you, but who will understand us? We haven’t come knocking on your general’s mansion for anything these past few years, so don’t try to pin the blame on us when something goes wrong.”

The faces of the group were grim, and Yang Yueying's attitude was firm.

"It's just an investigation into the servants in your household who bought Chunfengzui. Why are you being so secretive? Do you really have something to hide?"

The list included not only people from the General's Mansion who went to buy Chunfengzui, but also the servants from the mansions of the people in front of us.

Hearing Yang Yueying's question, the older man spread his palms: "Didn't we say that your aunt couldn't sleep well, so we sent the servants to buy it? That was so long ago, it was bought before your doctor was found. You don't need to suspect us because of that, do you?"

"Where are those servants?" Yang Yueying asked directly.

Uncle couldn't save face, but after some hesitation, he still called those people out.
