She's not stupid; she knows that if she's honest, her words are more likely to be believed. Besides, the truth will eventually come out. The biggest problem now is her innocence. As long as it's proven that she wasn't a despicable woman, she's willing to bear any charges.

“Ask her maid,” someone suggested.

Xie Yangshi, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xie family, nodded and ordered someone to question the maid. Upon learning that her mistress had confessed, the maid immediately recounted everything in detail.

Even the third and sixth young ladies confessed. After they confessed, people were sent to question them. The two young ladies did not deny it, but only said that the medicine could only make people sleepy, and that they would be fine after they had slept enough.

Guan Yurong confessed, and the rest were Liuli and Zhao Nihong's people. It didn't matter if they didn't confess; there were plenty of ways to deal with them. By the time Zhao Nihong heard the news and came over, it was too late. As a concubine, she couldn't get close to the ladies. When she saw someone coming out to interrogate Liuli's maids, she gritted her teeth, pulled out her hairpin and bracelet, and stuffed them, along with the jade pendant in her bosom, into the hands of Xie's servants.

Logically speaking, having taken so many things, it would be acceptable to tell a few lies, since one could never afford a jade pendant even after a lifetime of work. But for some reason, the servants of the Xie family were too upright and incorruptible.

When Zhao Nihong realized that her bribery attempt had failed and that she was about to be caught, she quickly grabbed her son and tried to leave the Xie family.

She moved quickly, and the Xie family members were just as fast. Before she even reached the front gate, she was stopped. "Aunt Zhao, Madam has something to tell you: from today onwards, Aunt Zhao will no longer be welcome at the Xie family's door."

Zhao Nihong's heart sank to the bottom, but she knew she had to endure this humiliation because she had acted without thinking. She would accept her fate! She didn't blame anyone else, but blamed herself for not being as resourceful as the Xie family.

She held her son, straightened her back, and quickly left the Xie family home.

Zhao Nihong left, leaving behind Liuli and Guan Yurong. After sorting out the grudges between the two, it turned out that Guan Yurong had harmed Liuli first, and Liuli was taking revenge.

It's not a big deal, but things change when the Marquis of Huainan's and the Marquis of Ningguo's families are involved. Should Guan Yurong marry Wei Tingsi, Jiang Jingzhan, or the young master of the Marquis of Huainan's family?

With such a vicious Liuli, would the Wei family still dare to keep her?

Liuli originally intended to be wronged, but when she woke up, she found that the truth had already come out. She hadn't even read her prepared lines or shed the tears she had been holding back for so long before it was over.

She couldn't believe the truth had come out so quickly. Although her innocence remained, she was now branded with a malicious label, which was not what she wanted. Her plan was to make everyone believe that Guan Yurong had wronged her, to make Guan Yurong despised by everyone, and to leave Guan Yurong speechless...

She was defeated before she even had a chance to perform, and she was unwilling to accept it!

However, who will give her another chance?

The answer is no.

After learning what had happened, Zhao Shu leaned back on the chaise lounge and said, "This is terrible. I never want to come into a noble family like yours again. What happened to the scholarly family and the family of etiquette? This is horrible."

"Old Madam Xie solved all your troubles in one fell swoop, aren't you happy? Get up, get ready, and go thank her in person." Sun Yun was very dissatisfied with her lazy and unambitious state.
