As it turned out, Ren Shimao's money was not wasted, and this former jailer really had some skills.
Later, this person was responsible for helping Ren Shimao figure out the whole story.
The maid said that someone had indeed arranged for her to find an opportunity to replace the pearl peach blossom powder of the Fifth Madam and the Eighth Miss, but it was not her who poisoned the powder.
When Mrs. Ren Wu's noodles were brought back, someone had added something to them.
"What does this have to do with Sun Shiyi Niang?" Ren Yaoqi asked.
Ren Shimin asked, "Do you still remember that Sun Shiyi Niang has a daughter?"
Ren Yaoqi nodded. Of course she remembered it and was still impressed!
"Sun Shiyi Niang's daughter is currently an apprentice at Hua Xiangrong's rouge shop. This maid said that the rouge and powder she had in her hands that had not been poisoned came from this maid named Qing'er."
"So that's it!" Ren Yaoqi nodded.
Hua Xiangrong Rouge Shop is considered the most famous rouge shop in Yanbei. When the Yanbei Palace sends tribute to the court every year, if there is rouge and powder, it must be produced by Hua Xiangrong.
Pearl Peach Blossom Powder is Hua Xiangrong's signature product, as it uses precious ingredients. Only a limited number of boxes are sold each year, and all are sold to those who own them, and the shop keeps a record of the sales.
If someone had deliberately purchased six boxes of Pearl Peach Blossom Powder to replace Lin's six, Hua Xiangrong would surely have been able to find out. However, Ren Shimao hadn't previously discovered the origins of those six boxes of powder. Now, it seems Qing'er was also responsible.
Ren Yaoqi was not surprised by Qing'er's appearance this time.
She had a premonition in her heart from the moment Zeng Kui appeared, that there are some people you can't avoid even if you want to, this is the bad fate.
In this life, because Sun Shiyi Niang did not die, Qing'er did not appear in Ren Yaohua's life, but unexpectedly, she was waiting here.
Ren Shimin said, "Fifth brother has sent someone to Hua Xiangrong to look for Yu Qingniang. I heard that she is about your age. How could she do such a thing? She is not our maid, so we cannot use the criminal law against her. However, fifth brother said that she must be handed over to the authorities."
Ren Yaoqi nodded and asked, "Who is behind this?"
Ren Shimin said coldly: "Do you even need to ask? I will order someone to go to Baihe Town to pick up Aunt Fang. Even if father stops me this time, I will put an end to this vicious woman! Otherwise, who knows who will be the next person to be harmed by her?" Ren Shimin remembered that he had not yet done the important business he rushed back for, so he immediately stood up and wanted to send someone to give instructions to Li.
Ren Yaoqi asked, "Father asked someone to ask Aunt Fang what he was going to say?"
Ren Shimin said, "Just say Yaoying is sick and I want to see her." Aunt Fang might not believe any other reason. Ren Shimin had thought of it while on the way and could only use the excuse that Ren Yaoying was sick.
Thinking of this, Ren Shimin couldn't help feeling a little depressed. Aunt Fang was just one of his concubines, and now he wanted to deal with his concubine but he had to lie to trick her into coming over.
Ren Yaoqi did not have the same sigh as Master Ren Wu. The excuse she gave was still feasible. Aunt Fang's humanity would only be revealed when she faced her own children.
