San Ya followed Xiao Man into the east room. She walked forward cautiously and nervously, and whispered, "Princess, is Fatty okay?"
Pang Ya is the cleaning girl from Huamuyuan who just testified against Xiao Lin. San Ya became good friends with her when she was at Huamuyuan.
Xiaoman whispered, "I've told you so many times, how could the princess not keep her promise? Why did you insist on asking?"
Meng Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to Fatty. Once this matter is settled, I'll have her come to Jing'an Garden and work with you."
San Ya breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Meng Qi say this. Yuan Dong had called her over yesterday and explained everything in detail. She was genuinely surprised. The secret between Concubine Lin and Cheng Dianyi weighed heavily on her. Although she later shared it with the princess, she hadn't been able to reveal it, and she felt uneasy, as if the princess didn't believe her.
It's just that at this time, she was not allowed to speak out, but was asked to teach Pang Ya to speak, not to mention the past, but only to talk about the present. San Ya didn't know whether the things Yuan Dong asked her to tell Pang Ya were true. As long as the matter between Concubine Lin and Cheng Dianyi was true, it would be fine. She didn't lie.
In the west wing of the outer courtyard study, Cheng Qian's servant admitted to sending abortion drugs to Huamu Garden. Zhang Decheng returned with the box of drugs, saying that a doctor had examined it and found abortion drugs, aphrodisiacs, and drugs that occasionally cause fever. There was even a bottle of drugs that were fed to young boys to cause hallucinations.
Song Chengze's hands were shaking as he held the bottle of medicine. Song Baimo was the only young boy in the mansion. What did Xiao Lin mean by asking him to take this medicine?
When Liu Nian was brought here, he knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he confessed everything. "The concubine was afraid that the young master wouldn't listen to her when he went to the outer courtyard, so she asked the Lin family to prepare this medicine. Occasionally, he would take two pills. When the concubine needed it, the young master would listen to her and help her. And the fever medicine was what the concubine often gave him when he was in the inner courtyard. Whenever the concubine wanted to see the prince or ask for something from him, she would make the young master 'sick'."
Xiao Lin was shaking like a sieve, and could only shake her head, but she couldn't say a word.
Chu Yong's announcement came from outside. Cheng Qian came into the room, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "I wonder why the prince called me down so late..."
When he looked up, he saw Xiao Lin kneeling there, with the maid who delivered the message for them and the servant who served him in the palace beside her.
Song Chengze ignored Cheng Qian and asked the servant, "Tell me everything you know. If you hide anything, this day next year will be the day of your entire family's death."
The servant suddenly realized something and crawled forward twice. "Your Highness, this is none of my business. I am here to serve Cheng Dianyi. I do whatever he tells me to do. As for what's going on inside, I don't know anything about it."
Zhang Decheng stepped forward and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, the prince doesn't have time to listen to you."
The servant kowtowed and said, "Yes, it was indeed Cheng Dianyi who asked me to deliver the medicine to Liunian. I don't know what it is, but Cheng Dianyi just told me to deliver it. He also said that the concubine needed it urgently and ordinary medicine was hard to find, so it would be better to go directly to this domineering one."
Xiao Lin suddenly looked up, "Cheng Qian, it's you. It was you who replaced the abortion medicine, right? I clearly asked you to find ordinary medicine. Cheng Qian, you..." As she spoke, she was about to step forward to grab Cheng Qian, but Zhang Decheng grabbed her wrist.
"Go on." Song Chengze said coldly, "Tell me everything you know about Cheng Dianyi and Concubine Lin. Don't leave out a single detail."
The servant had been with Cheng Qian for many years and knew a lot about the two of them. He wiped the tears from his face, knowing that he would not survive if he told these things, but at least he could keep his family safe.
With every word he said, Song Chengze's face darkened. Xiao Lin shook her head, tears falling like beads from a broken string. She wanted to say something, but Zhang Decheng pinched her wrist so hard that she couldn't utter a word.
After the servant finished speaking, he kowtowed again and said, "This is all I know. I have not lied at all. I know that I have committed a serious sin and was blinded by the conditions given by Cheng Dianyi. Now I only ask that Your Highness can forgive my family. I assure you that my family knew nothing about all this. I am willing to die to atone for my sins. Please forgive them, Your Highness." After saying this, he kowtowed again.
Song Chengze waved his hand, "Chu Yong."
Chu Yong came in from outside and said, "Take him away, give him a decent look, and give him a thin coffin. Move his family to the farm."
The boy's face had turned pale, and Chu Yong carried him out with his body limp.
Liunian looked at the image in front of him, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Song Chengze looked at Cheng Qian, who looked dejected, and waved to everyone, "Zhang Decheng stays, everyone else go down."
Seeing that there were only four of them in the room, Cheng Qian kowtowed desperately, "Your Highness, please understand. I was forced to do this. Concubine Lin was in charge of the inner house at that time. She always sent people to look for me, wanting me to help her with things for her aunt's family. I had no choice but to do it. Later, later..."
Song Chengze listened to every word Cheng Qian said and felt it was extremely ironic. His concubine was actually having an affair with Dian Yi, but he had no idea about it at all. He had been wearing this cuckold for so long, haha, haha.
Hearing Song Chengze's laughter, Xiao Lin knelt before him and said, "Your Highness, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please, for the sake of the eldest young master, forgive me this time."
Song Chengze raised his foot and hit Xiaolin in the chest. Xiaolin screamed and fell to the ground, unable to straighten her back.
