Chapter 660: Tangli Takes Action
The one who spoke was Fu Niang.
Fu Niang walked in, looked at the things on the ground, then looked at Yu Niang, incredulous: "Yun Niang, you are eating secretly?"
Yu Niang's face turned pale as she stammered, "No... I didn't... eat it secretly. I just wanted to taste it."
Yu Niang bent down and tried to pick up something on the ground with trembling hands. At this moment, a porcelain bottle rolled out from her sleeve.
Yu Niang's face turned even paler, and she hurried to pick up the porcelain bottle. At this moment, the porcelain bottle was picked up by another hand, and Yu Niang picked up an empty one.
Fu Niang looked at the porcelain bottle and asked, "What's in it?"
"This... this contains... Goudan's medicine..." Yu Niang's voice was shaking, her body was shaking as well.
"No, you are lying." Fu Niang looked at Yu Niang and said.
They are sisters and grew up together, so she naturally understands Yu Niang.
This is what Yu Niang looks like when she lies.
She had noticed something was wrong with Yu Niang a long time ago, and she must be hiding something from her.
Although Yu Niang is timid, she has good character and would never steal from her master's family.
"Yu Niang, what are you hiding from me? Who gave you this medicine? Did someone force you to do anything?" Fu Niang asked coldly, not giving Yu Niang a chance to escape. "If you don't tell me, I will report this to my wife."
Fu Niang turned to leave, and Yu Niang hurried over and grabbed her arm.
"Sister, don't go...I...I'm telling you..."
Yu Niang was so nervous that she almost collapsed, so she told him that someone had captured Goudan and threatened her to drug the two young masters.
"Sister, Goudan's life is in her hands, I don't know what to do. She said this medicine will only cause a minor illness, I'm a little worried, so I want to try it first..." Yu Niang said.
"Stupid! The person who committed the kidnapping is not a good person. How could it be that he just had a minor illness after such a big plan?" Fu Niang said.
Fu Niang was glad that she didn't give the medicated meat paste directly to the two young masters, and she was also glad that she didn't eat it herself.
I guess Yu Niang herself was also skeptical, so she wanted to try it.
"Then...what should we do? Goudan's life is still in her hands..." Yu Niang said hesitantly.
She really didn't know what to do?
If this was a deadly poison, how could she use it to harm two innocent children?
The lady is so kind to her...
But what about her dog eggs?
Goudan was her dearest child, born after ten months of pregnancy. Goudan was still so young, he hadn't even had a good look at the world, and he was about to die...
If only she could exchange her life for Goudan’s!
"Go tell the lady." Fu Niang said decisively.
"No, that person said that if I tell others, he will kill Goudan." Yu Niang said.
"Yu Niang, do you think that if you do what that person says, she will let Goudan go?" Fu Niang said, "They're obviously not good people. Even if you do what they say, they'll just kill you to silence you. Then, neither Goudan nor you will survive. Tell the lady and ask for her help. Maybe there's still a chance of survival."
Fu Niang's tone was very serious. Yu Niang looked at her, was silent for a moment, and then nodded.
Fu Niang and Yu Niang went to see Tang Li together, and Yu Niang stumbled over the whole story.
After hearing this, Tang Li pursed her lips tightly. Anything that hurt the two babies would affect her emotions and make her angry.
"Let me see the medicine." Tang Li said.
Fu Niang handed the porcelain bottle to Tang Li.
Tang Li opened the bottle stopper and put it to her nose to smell it. She had learned some medical skills and how to identify poisons from Doctor Su, and recognized what this thing was.
"Spring trees are dead and extremely poisonous." Tang Li said, holding the porcelain bottle tightly, his face looking very ugly.
As soon as Tang Li finished speaking, Fu Niang and Yu Niang quickly knelt down.
It's really poisonous...
"Madam, I was wrong. I was possessed by the devil and actually wanted to harm the two young masters... Madam, can you save my son Goudan?! As for me... Madam, you can do whatever you want to me!" Yu Niang pleaded.
"Madam, Yu Niang was wrong. She put the medicine into the meat paste, but she didn't know it was highly poisonous. She wanted to taste it, but I interrupted her." Fu Niang said.
Tangli pursed her lips. Once matters involving the two babies came into play, she would easily become emotional and filled with anger.
She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
She didn't dream about this incident, which meant the two babies wouldn't be poisoned. Because Yu Niang's compassion got the better of her, she wanted to taste the poison, and was discovered by Fu Niang...
Objectively speaking, Fu Niang did a good job and Yu Niang did not make any big mistakes.
She is also a mother, so she naturally understands how a mother feels when she is worried about her son.
Tang Li looked at Yu Niang: "I will help you find your son, don't worry."
The ones who really deserve to die are the ones who kidnapped Yu Niang's son and forced Yu Niang to death!
"Thank you, madam! Thank you, madam!" Yu Niang cried with joy and kowtowed to Tang Li.
Tang Li actually had a guess about the person who kidnapped Yu Niang's son.
Princess Anyue.
Lu Xuan died in prison.
Tang Li knew about this matter, and to be honest, it was a bit strange.
However, Lu Xuan was such a bad guy that he deserved to die, so Tang Li didn't care.
But in the eyes of Princess Anyue, she must have felt that I was the one who caused her to lose her son, so she wanted to harm me too...
The so-called tooth for tooth.
This kind of person will always blame others for their mistakes and will not reflect on their own problems.
"What does the person who gave you the poison look like?" Tang Li asked.
Yu Niang described the person: she was wearing a cloak, her face was unclear, and she was a woman. She racked her brains, thinking of the details of the person and describing them one by one.
Based on her description, Tang Li thought that this person should be a maidservant beside Princess Anyue.
"You guys go down first, I'll send someone to look for your son." Tang Li said.
Yu Niang thanked her profusely again and was helped down by Fu Niang.
Tang Li called the secret guards to check the people around Princess Anyue, and then follow the clues, maybe they could find Yu Niang's son.
"Follow the people around Princess Anyue and pay attention to the crying children." Tang Li said.
The secret guard disappeared immediately.
Tang Li took a deep breath. At this moment, she especially wanted to see the two babies.
Tangli turned and entered the room. Both little ones were sleeping, their tiny bodies sunken into the soft bed. Mu Bao's hands were clenched into fists. Tangli pulled the quilt over them to cover them. Tang Bao, who usually looked aloof, was just as adorable as Mu Bao when she was asleep, her little mouth smacking. Who knew what delicious food she was dreaming about, but she was feasting on it in her dream, enjoying it with relish.
Tangli smiled.
She stared at the two little guys for a while.
The incident with Yu Niang sounded a wake-up call to Tang Li. The people who take care of the two babies need to be screened again and must be absolutely loyal.
Tangli screened the people around the two babies, leaving behind a few who were absolutely loyal, and arranged for the others to work elsewhere.
When she finished doing all this, Wei Qing came back from the yamen.
