After the child's accidental death, Hongxiu first checked the child's daily diet and found that the mountain produce contained poison, so she kept the news a secret.
When the old woman passed by the Hongxiu residence again, she was immediately grabbed.
With witnesses and physical evidence present, the Prime Minister's wife could not deny it even if she wanted to.
Although Hongxiu is not important, this son is the Prime Minister's only son. If the Prime Minister finds out that his son was killed by his wife, I'm afraid the Prime Minister's wife will not have a good life in the future.
