Unexpectedly, the usually easy-going Fifth Master was not so easy to talk to this time. He had also been out and seen some of the world. One look at Sister Niu's expression told him that this woman was secretly plotting something. He sneered and said, "Forget it. Even if a servant like you is wrongly killed, it's just a worthless life! Come, tie up this wicked slave and send her to the yamen. Say she dared to poison her master and let them try her."
Lin cried out, "Just her life? How could such a thing be possible! Go find out if there are any members of her family still working for the Ren family! Trap them all and bring them here! If she has a child, that would be even better. Prepare this medicine for her, boil it, and feed it to her child. I want her to see what my Yu'er went through!"
Mrs. Niu was shocked when she heard this and her face turned pale. She only had one son, who was only four years old this year and was her life.
"No, Fifth Madam... This has nothing to do with my child... Fifth Madam... Fifth Master, Fifth Master, please be kind." Mrs. Niu kowtowed loudly.
Lin and Ren Shimao were unmoved, and Lin even sneered at her.
Seeing that the maid was about to follow the order to arrest someone, Sister Niu was really at a loss and immediately said, "I confess, I confess everything, I will do anything you ask me to do, please spare my son, Master Wu and Madam Wu."
Only then did the fifth master call those maids back.
But Lin said: "Go and capture them first. Who knows if they will get wind of the news and run away? By then, this slave might become dishonest again! If she dares to hide anything or lie, I will use her son to test the medicine!" When it comes to this kind of torturing things, Lin is surprisingly talented and learned it by herself.
Seeing that the Fifth Master didn't say anything, the maids immediately went to arrest him.
Mrs. Niu collapsed on the ground.
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Sister Niu shuddered, thinking about her son about to fall into the hands of the Fifth Madam. She gritted her teeth and said, "I originally replaced the Eighth Miss's medicine on the orders of my sister-in-law and mother-in-law."
"Is it Nanny Gui from the old lady's yard?" Lin asked immediately.
Mrs. Niu nodded.
Lin showed an expression of "as expected", it seemed that the maid named Xueli did not lie to her.
"Then whose orders did Nanny Gui follow?" Ren Shimao asked coldly.
Sister Niu shook her head: "I don't know about this."
Seeing that Lin was dissatisfied and about to get angry, Sister Niu immediately said, "I really don't know. I was just following orders to change the medicine, and I don't know what this medicine is used for."
Lin snorted, "Then what's the point of me keeping you?"
Sister Niu racked her brains and suddenly remembered something. She immediately said, "But I secretly asked my sister-in-law about this matter. Although she said she didn't know at the time, she later let it slip that her mother-in-law was already the manager of the old lady's room, but she still had to work for a concubine. It was really lowering her status."
"Auntie? Is it Aunt Fang from the third room?" Lin pressed.
At the time, Sister Niu only heard her sister-in-law mutter something but didn't understand. When she asked again later, her sister-in-law was unwilling to say anything. However, she still nodded randomly: "Yes, it seems to be Aunt Fang, it's her."
