"No? Did the silver note fly into your room with its long legs?"
"When the servants were searching, there were so many people involved that it's not impossible that someone had falsely accused me. Master, this is definitely a frame-up. I don't care about a hundred taels!"
Ni Gaofei sneered, "The steward and his men were in charge of the search. Only you and the steward have the key to the warehouse. The only people who handled the money were you, the medicine boy, and the steward. Are you saying that the steward colluded with the medicine boy to frame you?"
When the housekeeper was mentioned, he immediately begged for mercy: "Master, I didn't do that. I am innocent. I never had the intention to frame Aunt Tian!"
Ni Gaofei slammed his palm on the table impatiently: "I don't want to hear such clichés. If there is no evidence to prove my innocence, I can only believe the evidence in front of me."
Before Tian You could even start her revenge, she had already fallen into the trap. She said in panic, "Master, the servant asked the housekeeper to take the money. I have never handled any money before. Please be careful!"
Miao Yuan, who had remained silent the entire time, now analyzed, "So there's only one possibility for the banknote to appear in your room: it was a bribe from the servant who bought the medicine!"
Tian You looked at Miao Yuan, whose cheeks were abnormally flushed. She never got involved in other people's affairs, but today, she actually teamed up with the housekeeper and the servant to frame her?
Tian You shook her head vigorously: "Master, I didn't do anything. This is all a frame-up! Master, please let the servant who bought the medicine come in. I want to confront him face to face!"
"Bring the person in." Ni Gaofei ordered.
Soon, the servant who was beaten to death was dragged over and thrown to the ground.
He lay on the ground, without the strength he had at the beginning, and said weakly: "Master, I confess."
"The truth hasn't even been revealed to you yet, are you going to confess now?"
"Villain's trick!"
Ni Gaofei became interested: "Okay, go ahead."
"Today, I went to the accounting office to find Aunt Tian and asked her to withdraw money. Aunt Tian reminded me that it was enough to buy the right herbs. There was no need to buy high-quality ones. I immediately understood."
"Later, I went to the housekeeper to withdraw money. After receiving the banknotes, I always felt uneasy, so I tried to give Aunt Tian a banknote of 100 taels. Who knew that Aunt Tian accepted it!"
The servant was beaten to the point of being on the verge of death, but every word he spoke was clear and well-reasoned.
Tian You, however, angrily yelled at the servant: "Tell me, who allowed you to slander me like this? What benefits did you receive?"
Tian You was furious, his face distorted. Ni Gaofei frowned and reminded him, "Now the servant has been brought in as you wished. Now he has confessed, and you say he is wronging you. Aunt Tian, I thought that if you went to the countryside, you would definitely feel that life in the Prime Minister's Mansion is excellent, but you still don't know how to appreciate it."
"Although you didn't poison anyone, how could the lady drink moldy herbs over time without any harm to her health? You're trying to kill her!"
Ni Gaofei said angrily, looking at Miao Yuan who was sitting beside him: "You said you want to reveal the truth, how do you deal with her?"
"Madam Tian has been punished many times, but she always comes back. I don't think I can escape danger every time. Therefore, Madam Tian should not continue to appear in the Prime Minister's residence."
"Master, I want you to divorce your wife!" Miao Yuan looked at Ni Gaofei firmly, without any intention of joking.
Tian You's expression changed drastically: "Madam, I gave birth to Hongbo for the master. Even if I made a mistake, I shouldn't be divorced, not to mention this is a frame-up!"
She protested at the top of her lungs. She was asked to admit it? Just do it? She couldn't do it!
Ni Gaofei looked indifferent and remained silent.
Miao Yuan sat aside and coughed softly, and did not rush Ni Gaofei to make a decision quickly.
Ni Gaofei stood up and looked down at Tian You: "I will give you one chance, two days. If you can find clues of being framed within two days, I will not let you go!"
"If not, even if people criticize me behind my back and say I'm heartless and my future is affected, I will still divorce you and will never allow a scourge like you to remain in the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Tian You fell to the ground, her face pale. Ni Hongbo was already in his twenties. She and Ni Gaofei had been married for so many years. If she was divorced, how could she still have the face to live in this world?
Tian You looked at Miao Yuan fiercely. Miao Yuan only covered her lips with a silk handkerchief and coughed softly. She looked so harmless and weak, so weak that it was pitiful!
Ni Gaofei didn't say anything else and walked away.
Miao Yuan sat on the chair, holding her forehead with a headache: "Mingyan, drive Aunt Tian away."
Tian You stood up from the ground and said, "Madam never interferes in other people's affairs. You only took action this time for Ni Yueshan, right?"
She looked at her with bloodshot eyes. Even though her heart was filled with rage, she could only glare at her fiercely.
"Mingyan!" Miao Yuan's voice rose.
Mingyan immediately extended her hand to Tian You: "Auntie Tian, please leave on your own!"
Tian You glared at Ming Yan fiercely: "I treated you so cruelly back then, and you're still alive. You're really lucky!"
Mingyan's eyes were cold as she repeated, "Madam Tian, please come in!"
Tian You snorted and walked away.
After Tian You left, the housekeeper who had been kneeling on the ground stood up. Miao Yuan looked at him with admiration: "A man of insight is a hero. You did a good job this time. You took out the banknotes from Tian You's room and left her speechless. Mingyan will be your woman from now on!"
The housekeeper happily knelt down again: "Thank you, Madam, for your help!"
On the day Tian You returned home, Miao Yuan ordered Ming Yan to seduce the housekeeper, and then deliberately caught the two of them. In order to save his life and avoid being punished, the housekeeper had to obey Miao Yuan and do what she told him to do.
Mingyan was almost killed by Tian You. She hated Tian You to the core. As long as Tian You could die, she would naturally do anything!
Miao Yuan set her eyes on Ming Yan again: "After becoming the housekeeper's concubine, you must remember to serve people well, understand?"
"Yes, I will. However, after Aunt Tian leaves the Prime Minister's Residence, there is no guarantee that she won't find another opportunity to come back. After all, she has a daughter who has entered the palace, and a son who works there!"
Miao Yuan chuckled softly, "Yue Shan has always only ever used family rules and laws to punish someone after finding evidence of a crime. This lady won't do that. This lady has never been a law-abiding person. She put Yue Shan in solitary confinement, so how could this lady let her continue to live!"
Miao Yuan's smile was beautiful and charming, but her eyes revealed a hint of cruelty, bloodthirstiness, and was extremely terrifying.
"Where are my family members?" The servant was lying on the ground, looking at Miao Yuan with pleading eyes. Even though he was dying, he still forced himself to muster a little strength and asked.
