At that moment, Xiufang was pushed into the house, and she retreated in fear, trembling.
Startled, Lady Fucha stopped what she was doing, turned around and angrily scolded Xiufang: "You good-for-nothing, guard the door properly, what are you doing coming in?"
Xiufang stared at Fucha in horror, stammering as she pointed outside, "Second...Second Consort...she..."
Before Xiufang could finish speaking, Fucha turned her gaze to the doorway, and Lanqin and Nian entered the house with cold faces.
Liu gasped for breath, coughed a few times, and slowly looked towards the door. After seeing who it was, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Lady Fucha was terrified. She dropped the wine pot in her hand and retreated foolishly, blocking the colonnade behind her.
Enraged, Lady Nian rushed over and shoved Lady Fucha, frantically hitting and scratching her while cursing, "Give me back my child's life! You murderer! Sheng'er was so young, and you poisoned my child to death! You vile woman, I'll make you pay with your life for Sheng'er..."
Fucha's headdress was snatched off by Nian and her maid, leaving her disheveled and in a sorry state. Nian, wearing nail guards, swung her hand fiercely toward Fucha's face.
Lanqin ordered her men to stop Lady Nian. Lady Fucha, who had been rescued, trembled as she reached out to touch her face, then widened her eyes and screamed in terror, "Ah... my face... my face..."
Nian, gritting her teeth, pointed at the nearly insane Fucha and roared, "A life for a life! I will avenge my child! You wait to be torn to pieces..."
Fucha lowered her head, clenched her fists, and stared blankly for a long time before slowly turning her head. She glared at Lanqin, her eyes seemingly spitting fire, then suddenly lunged forward, cursing, "Niohuru clan, it's all your fault! I'll take you with me even if I die..."
Everyone was startled. Fortunately, Lanqin dodged quickly, causing Fucha Shi to miss her target. Afterwards, she was held tightly by the servants.
Lanqin calmed down slightly, ordered the servants to carry the unconscious Liu Shi away, and after comforting Nian Shi, she turned to Fucha Shi. Fucha Shi was resentful and stared intently at Lanqin. Lanqin coldly asked, "I know you must be fine, so why are Nian Shi and I here? Fucha Shi, you did indeed do a flawless job; we still can't find a single clue about you, but you've become too complacent."
For her own benefit, she cruelly poisoned the Fourth Master's child and framed others for the crime.
Lanqin glanced at Fucha with disdain and continued, "You've become too smug. You're eager to come here and show off. First, you had Meiqin and Xiufang conspire to scheme against Liu. Although they succeeded, everyone thought it was Liu who did it. But do you think everyone is a fool you've fooled? Apart from the one in the main courtyard, the only people in this inner quarters who can stir up trouble are you and Liu."
Lady Fucha looked at Lanqin in disbelief, shaking her head and cursing, "How dare you scheme against me?"
Lanqin sneered, "It wasn't that I schemed against you, but that you were guilty. From the moment Meiqin died, I began to suspect that you were behind all of this. I took a gamble to see if you would appear in Liu's room, and sure enough, you did... Not only did you reveal the truth to everyone, but you also confessed everything... Fucha, it's all your own fault..."
Fucha screamed in despair, struggling to lunge at Lanqin, cursing, "Niohuru clansmen, I'll haunt you even as a ghost..."
