A room full of Oscar-winning actresses!
Looking at the concubine crying and sobbing, Jiang Ranli sneered in her heart. She had never seen as many dramatic people as she did today in her two lifetimes.
"Come, take her away and punish her with a stick."
Yinzhen glanced at Jiang Ranli, whose cheeks were swollen, pushed aside the concubine who was crying and holding his arm, and was about to leave after saying that.
However, at this moment, Dong E, who had been silent all the time, spoke.
"Master, I think the concubine was framed."
When these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar, and Jiang Ranli was also very surprised.
What was she doing? Was she so heartbroken that she couldn't bear to frame herself?
Yinzhen stopped and turned to look at Dong E.
"Sir, please look at this sachet. It is made of a relatively rough material, and the silk thread used is of a very dull texture. Although the concubine is rarely summoned by you, I distribute her daily food, clothing, and other necessities according to the rules."
Dong E said as she walked towards Yinzhen, and carefully examined the materials and texture of the sachet in her hand.
Jiang Ranli frowned after hearing those words. She was becoming more and more confused about what Dong E was going to do.
"Master, a sachet made of this kind of material cannot be worn by the concubine in the mansion. It is illogical. There must be some other hidden story behind it." Dong E looked at Jiang Ranli sympathetically and gave her a reassuring look.
Seeing the look Dong E gave her, Jiang Ranli almost felt internally injured. She was inexplicably framed today, and now the person who framed her turned around and spoke for her. This loss was more disgusting than swallowing a fly.
"Someone come here and investigate this matter thoroughly."
Yin'er didn't want to get involved in this matter. He didn't care whether the child in Liu's belly was there or not, and he didn't care who did the evil. He just wanted to punish them. But now that Fu Jin had spoken, he had to give her some face.
Based on Dong E's analysis, Hongmei quickly compared which type of cloth was distributed to which women in which courtyard, and by comparing it with the patterns on the sachets, she found the "culprit" in a short while.
"Master Jiu, Madam Fu-jin, this cloth belongs to Geng Gege," said Hongmei.
"Master Jiu, Madam Fu, I found this at Geng Gege's place," another person walked in from outside and presented a porcelain bottle to Yin'er and Dong E.
"Please take a look at what's in this bottle, doctor," Dong E instructed the old man beside her.
Upon hearing this, the old man immediately took it and examined it, "To answer Master Jiu and Madam Fu Jin, this bottle contains musk."
After hearing this, Jiang Ranli turned her gaze to the woman who had just slapped her. Apart from that woman, there was no one else in the mansion with the surname Geng.
“No, it’s not me, it’s…”
Geng was panicked at this time. She looked at Dong E with shock and wanted to say something, but Dong E gave her a look and ordered her to be arrested.
"Master, Master, it's not me. This is not what I did. It was Fu..." Geng cried and explained to Yin'er, but how could Dong E give her a chance?
"Come here, Geng is so vicious that she harmed our master's offspring and framed the concubine. She has done so many evil things. Take her away and give her twenty strokes of the cane," said Dong E with a look of grief on her face.
Geng was immediately taken out, and soon everyone heard shrill screams.
Listening to the screams, Jiang Ranli's heart was in turmoil, and her worldview was overturned at this moment.
She had never seen someone sentenced to death so lightly. After twenty strokes of the lead-filled stick, even if Geng didn't die, she would have no chance of survival.
