Lin barely managed to stop shouting, but her eyes were fixed on Xueli.
Xueli said, "Fifth Madam, listen to me. Someone saw that you weren't with Miss Nine and secretly drugged her. This drug isn't very harmful to the human body, but it makes people easily agitated and irritable. Miss Nine was drugged for several days in a row, which is why she had so many arguments with Concubine Kang. They even accidentally pushed her away and caused her to miscarry. Miss Nine, think carefully, were you always unable to control your temper during that period? There were times when you clearly didn't want to get angry. Also, you had been taking the drug for quite some time. Was the medicine different from usual?"
Lin immediately looked at Ren Yaoyu.
Ren Yaoyu thought for a moment, "That seems to be the case! When I pushed her that time, I... I didn't know what I was doing. And for a while, the medicine was more bitter than before, so I thought Mom had asked the kitchen to give me a new prescription. I mentioned it once, but then the medicine wasn't bitter anymore, so I didn't pay much attention to it."
Mrs. Lin was shocked. "Why change the recipe?! I've been taking this one for almost a year!" She turned furious and looked at Xueli. "Who is harming us, mother and daughter? Who is it?"
When Ren Yaoyu thought about the suffering she had endured during that time, she felt extremely resentful: "Tell me quickly! Who is it?"
Xueli was silent for a moment before she said, "Fifth Madam, Ninth Miss, the truth is, I came to you today because I had no choice but to save myself. If I tell you the mastermind behind this, Fifth Madam, can you guarantee that I won't be kicked out of the Ren family? Also... I'm having a hard time right now and need, I need some money..."
Ren Yaoyu said impatiently, "Just tell me what you want. I'll see who dares to chase you away! I have money too!"
Xueli looked at Lin.
Lin nodded: "Just tell me! I'll take care of anything that happens! Even if my words don't work, there's still our Fifth Master! He can't just watch his daughter being framed like this!"
Xueli finally breathed a sigh of relief. "With the Fifth Madam and the Ninth Young Miss here, I'm relieved. The one who harmed you and the Ninth Young Miss... was none other than Concubine Fang."
Ren Yaoyu screamed: "Is it her? Why would she..." Ren Yaoyu wanted to ask Aunt Fang why she did this, but she immediately thought of how she had designed Ren Yaoying to fall into the toilet.
Lin also remembered that given Aunt Fang's personality, she knew that it was her and her daughter who harmed Ren Yaoying behind the scenes, and she would never let it go.
Sure enough, Xueli said, "Mrs. Fang is holding a grudge against you for harming Miss Nine. Miss Nine was so frightened that she locked herself up for half a year and didn't dare go out."
Lin was already somewhat convinced, but she still said, "Do you have any evidence? I can't just listen to your one-sided story."
Xueli took out a paper bag from her sleeve and handed it to Lin.
Lin took it and opened it, only to see some dried medicine residue in the paper package.
"I used to be Madam Fang's servant, and was sent by Madam Fang to monitor the Fifth Young Miss. One time, when I went to see Sister Niu, I accidentally caught her stealthily adding something to a medicine jar, which made me suspicious. Later, I saw that the medicine was sent to the Ninth Young Miss after it was boiled. When Sister Niu went to deal with the medicine residue, I secretly picked up some and brought it back. Later, I went out to find a traveling doctor to identify the herbs. Only then did I know that the herbs added were harmful. Short-term use can easily make people irritable, and long-term use can cause people to lose their minds. I was frightened and wanted to go back to secretly warn the Ninth Young Miss and the Fifth Madam, but by then, Madam Kang had already miscarried, and Sister Niu did not touch the Ninth Young Miss's medicine again."
