After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 604 Guilt

Coincidentally, Mrs. Wang also had something urgent to ask the Old Madam.

She supported the Old Madam back.

Poor little monk approached but hadn’t even opened his mouth before they left.

On one side, Mrs. Wang assisted the Old Madam out of the Great Hero Hall, while on the other, Princess Beimo stepped up the stairs.

She gazed into the distance.

The beautiful scenery of the Great Buddha Temple dispersed the gloom in her heart.

"Princess, I’ve heard that the divination sticks at the Great Buddha Temple are very accurate, would you like to go in and request one?" the maid said.

"Sure."

...

Returning to the meditation chamber, Hongxiu came to greet them.

The Old Madam said, "I’m a bit hungry, go and bring some vegetarian dishes."

Hongxiu curtsied and complied.

The Old Madam returned to the room. When Mrs. Wang opened the door, the Old Madam touched her perfectly arranged bun on her head.

Once inside, Mrs. Wang let go of the Old Madam’s hand.

She was about to speak.

The hairpin in the Old Madam’s hand stabbed towards Mrs. Wang’s chest.

Mrs. Wang was shocked. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Fortunately, the Old Madam was elderly, and recently troubled, with little strength left.

Mrs. Wang managed to dodge slightly, but the golden hairpin still pierced her shoulder.

Blood gushed out.

Mrs. Wang pushed the Old Madam away.

The Old Madam’s waist hit the table, and she fell to the ground.

Mrs. Wang initially wanted to ask if the Old Madam was fake, if she was the eldest madam.

With just this golden hairpin from the Old Madam, what more was there to ask?

She wanted to silence her by killing!

Ruthless and cruel, to take the place of her own sister for wealth and power, was her heart eaten by a dog?!

Thinking of how her master was murdered, and she had loyally served the enemy for over thirty years, nearly getting killed herself.

Mrs. Wang was overwhelmed with grief.

She wanted to avenge the Old Madam.

Accustomed to hard work, Mrs. Wang couldn’t be matched by the Old Madam. Even with a shoulder injury, she could still choke the Old Madam to death.

As she was choking the Old Madam’s neck, Lanzhi happened to enter.

Lanzhi scolded, "Mrs. Wang, are you crazy?!"

She came over to pull Mrs. Wang’s hand away.

"Kill, kill her," the Old Madam shouted.

Lanzhi looked around, unable to find anything to hit Mrs. Wang, she could only choke Mrs. Wang’s neck too.

Mrs. Wang’s shoulder hurt, exerting strength caused pain.

Choking the Old Madam had used up all her strength.

Moreover, Lanzhi was young, Mrs. Wang realized that not only couldn’t she take the life of the Old Madam, but she would also likely lose her own life here.

In this world, only she knew the Old Madam had a twin sister.

She had to survive.

As long as the Old Prince and the Prince knew this, the Old Madam would not have a good end!

Mrs. Wang fled through the door.

Lanzhi helped the Old Madam up.

The Old Madam brushed Lanzhi’s hand away, "Don’t leave any survivors!"

"Hurry! Go!"

Lanzhi felt a chill down her spine.

She had helped the Old Madam poison people more than once.

First the cousin, then Mrs. Wang.

The Old Madam’s words, she didn’t dare disobey.

Mrs. Wang, bold enough to choke the Old Madam’s neck, deserved to die.

Lanzhi chased out.

Lanzhi pursued relentlessly, Mrs. Wang could only flee forward.

In front were maids from the Prince Mansion, Mrs. Wang dared not run forward and could only escape toward secluded places.

The busier Mrs. Wang got running, the more Lanzhi chased persistently.

Mrs. Wang, after all, wasn’t young, coupled with bleeding injuries.

Lanzhi caught up with Mrs. Wang.

Lanzhi pulled out the golden hairpin from Mrs. Wang’s shoulder, intending to stab it into Mrs. Wang’s heart.

Mrs. Wang resisted, slipped, and rolled down the slope.

The slope was somewhat steep, the vines deep, Lanzhi didn’t dare go down.

In case there were poisonous snakes inside, wouldn’t she be buried with Mrs. Wang?

This place was secluded, Mrs. Wang’s wounds still bled, she wouldn’t live long.

Lanzhi wiped the golden hairpin clean with the embroidered handkerchief.

Hearing voices from afar, Lanzhi quickly left.

Lanzhi hurriedly departed, not noticing a small path leading down ahead.

The path led directly to a Bodhi Tree.

The Emperor had been ambushed here before.

Lanzhi ran back, the Old Madam’s face icy as she asked, "How did it go?"

Lanzhi felt a panic.

She hurriedly took out the golden hairpin from her bosom.

"This servant pulled the golden hairpin and stabbed it toward Mrs. Wang’s heart, not knowing how to deal with her body, I let it slide down the slope," Lanzhi replied.

"Are you sure she stopped breathing?" the Old Madam asked uneasily.

"Stopped breathing," Lanzhi replied.

She set down the golden hairpin, the Old Madam said, "This golden hairpin is your reward."

Lanzhi quickly thanked.

Though this golden hairpin had killed people.

But how many good items were grave goods?

Seeing the Old Madam’s disheveled appearance, Lanzhi quickly asked, "Old Madam, why did Mrs. Wang try to kill you just now?"

The Old Madam’s cold gaze swept over her.

Lanzhi’s back felt a chill.

She wished she could slap her own mouth.

Sometimes knowing too much leads to a quick death.

Mrs. Wang had served the Old Madam devotedly for over thirty years, yet the Old Madam wanted to kill her, let alone a mere maid like her?

At this moment, footsteps were heard.

Old Madam Duke Chong walked in, the Old Madam glanced at Lanzhi, "You may leave."

Lanzhi promptly made her exit.

Old Madam Duke Chong looked at the Old Madam’s forehead and her disordered hair bun, her brows furrowed, "What happened?"

"The affairs of that year were discovered by Mrs. Wang," the Old Madam replied.

"She tried to strangle me."

Old Madam Duke Chong sat down, indifferently saying, "Back then, I advised you to get rid of Mrs. Wang, to avoid leaving a future threat, now you regret it?"

"It’s not too late to deal with it now," the Old Madam perfunctorily said.

Old Madam Duke Chong couldn’t understand.

What was so precious about keeping a maid?

She, as the Old Madam of the Duke Zhen Country Mansion, didn’t lack servants to serve her?

Why did the Old Madam keep Mrs. Wang?

Because only Mrs. Wang knew the hardships suffered by the Old Madam during the Old Prince’s years on the battlefield.

And only Mrs. Wang understood the nuances between the Old Madam and the Old Prince.

Men with power and influence easily go astray, with Mrs. Wang by her side, when the Old Prince upset the Old Madam, Mrs. Wang would persuade him.

In the whole Prince Mansion, only Mrs. Wang could persuade the Old Prince!

The hardships back then made the Old Prince feel guilty, treating her doubly well in compensation.

This was why she kept Mrs. Wang!

Because her living was more beneficial for her!

Because with Mrs. Wang alive, no one would suspect she was fake!

She hadn’t expected, Mrs. Wang nearly became her heart’s threat.

She asked Mrs. Wang when she started following her, knowing it was during the Wang family’s migration.

The Wang family moved south with their entire household, just to hide the events of that year, definitely wouldn’t let outsiders know.

She hadn’t anticipated she underestimated Mrs. Wang, further underestimated the Wang family’s trust in Mrs. Wang.

Today, she was fortunate to have come to the Great Buddha Temple, if it were in the Prince Mansion, she feared she wouldn’t have escaped so easily.

Had Mrs. Wang shouted that she was fake, could she kill all the maids in Qihao Hall?

Thinking this, the Old Madam felt a chill down her spine.

Knowing Mrs. Wang was already dealt with, the Old Madam felt slightly at ease.

She looked at Old Madam Duke Chong, her voice slightly sharper, "Elder Yong Cheng has been in prison for two days, why hasn’t Duke Chong rescued him yet?"
