Chapter 620: Poisonous Lotus Flower (3)

At the time, the butler Xiuyi deliberately lowered the Venetian blinds, probably tampering with something, and Qian Xueying was also in the ward, indicating that she was in the know.

Such an inference meant that Qian Xueying was meddling with Duke Locke.

No wonder Duke Locke's illness came on so suddenly, it truly was Qian Xueying's doing. Now it seems that the so-called affair of Duke Locke leaving all his property under her management was likely her own arrangement.

"Harmless?"

Gan Yuan sneered.

It seemed that the death of the former butler of the Duke Residence might also be Qian Xueying's masterpiece.

By rendering Duke Locke into such a foolish state, and then plotting to kill a loyal butler, she could elevate her own confidantes to power and gather the entirety of the Locke Family's assets in her hands.

Quite the harmless one, quite the modest and gentle lady!
