The maid looked innocent, so why did Ni Yueshan care how she dressed?
"It's just that my birthday is coming up soon, so I dressed up!"
"Go search her room."
Ni Yueshan ordered the servant beside her, and the maid's face turned pale. "Miss, I don't know what I did wrong. Miss, please tell me clearly!"
Ni Yueshan didn't respond, but looked at the old maid beside her. The old maid crawled over and said, "I saw it with my own eyes. It was her who came out of the kitchen!"
Xiu Tao's face turned pale: "You are talking nonsense, you are slandering me!"
Ni Yueshan supported his forehead and waited for the search servants to come back.
Not long after, the servant came to report: "Miss, we didn't find anything valuable during the search, but we did find this..."
It is a sweat towel, a sweat towel embroidered for men.
Ni Yueshan raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "As a prostitute in the prime minister's mansion, who would you embroider something like this for?"
Xiu Tao's expression changed: "This servant, this servant is just, just practicing embroidery!"
"Really? Why didn't you practice embroidery on something else, but a men's handkerchief? My mother is in a coma now, but as a personal maid, you haven't served her well enough. Furthermore, this handkerchief is evidence of adultery. It wouldn't be wrong to send you away and sell yourself as a prostitute."
Ni Yueshan smiled gently, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, as he looked at Xiutao.
Xiu Tao's delicate face was full of panic: "Miss, please don't, Miss, please don't, this slave girl didn't, this slave girl didn't have an affair with a man!"
Ni Yueshan waved his hand, and the servants came forward and dragged Xiutao. Xiutao was so scared that her legs had already gone weak. She wanted to beg for mercy but Ni Yueshan would not listen.
"Miss, Miss, this servant says!"
Xiutao, who had been dragged far away, suddenly changed her tone. Ni Yueshan stopped her and said, "Drag her back!"
These people really don't want to tell the truth unless they are scared. Now they can save trouble.
"This servant, this servant admits that I am delusional. This servant dreams of becoming the young lady of the mansion. This servant longs for the young master!"
Tian You was pregnant and her first child was a son. Although this son was born out of wedlock, he was Ni Gaofei's only son. Now he was the commander of the guards in the palace, protecting the safety and order of the palace. It was a good job with a bright future.
It's not surprising that a maid would want to get close to such a person.
Ni Yueshan leaned closer to Xiutao. "I don't really care who you're thinking of. I only care about why you came out of the kitchen after lunch. Where did you throw the medicine residue? Who ordered you to do that?"
Ni Yueshan's eyes were cold and sharp. Xiutao couldn't help but shiver, and her delicate little face became even paler.
In the prime minister's residence, in the evening, Ni Gaofei came back from work and learned that Miao Yuan in the mansion had been poisoned!
Ni Yueshan asked the servants to invite Ni Gaofei to the living room, where Ni Yueshan was waiting for him.
Ni Gaofei's face was full of seriousness: "What's going on?"
Before Ni Yueshan could answer, the servants came over with Ni Yueshuang and Ni Yingying.
Ni Yueshuang was unhappy in her heart, but she didn't hide it on her face: "Hello, father. Hello, big sister!"
Then she stood aside proudly. Compared with Ni Yueshuang's arrogance, Ni Yingying was much more reserved.
"Dad, you're not at home today. I'm worried about Mom's condition, so I did a thorough check. Now I have some clues, so I called my second and third sisters over as well!"
Ni Gaofei sat down on the seat next to him. He was so busy outside that he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water, but such a big thing happened in the mansion.
He picked up the tea beside him and said, "Speak!"
Ni Yueshan winked at the servant beside him, and the servant brought Xiutao over. Xiutao's legs were so sore from fear that she could hardly stand.
"Slave, this slave greets the master."
"Is she the one who poisoned me?" Ni Gaofei questioned.
Ni Yueshan prompted, "Why don't you tell the truth?"
Xiutao shuddered and glanced at Ni Yueshuang beside her. Ni Yueshuang looked arrogant and pretended not to see anything.
"Master, I deserve to die. I was so audacious that I secretly added an ingredient to Madam's medicine, which caused Madam to show symptoms of poisoning!"
All medicines are poisonous to some extent, but as long as they are used properly, even if they are poisonous, Miao Yuan's current condition would not occur. However, if one of the ingredients is added, people will be poisoned due to excessive dosage.
Ni Gaofei glanced at Xiu Tao and said, "You? I remember that you were the maidservant of the Madam. The Madam has no grudge against you. Why would you want to harm her?"
Ni Gaofei had seen a lot of things, so he naturally guessed that there must be some hidden story behind this.
The maid knelt on the ground, frowning deeply: "This servant, yes, was ordered by someone!"
She prostrated herself on the ground, trembling with fear. Ni Gaofei asked, "Who ordered you to do this?"
"Yes, it's the Second Miss."
Ni Yueshuang was standing quietly by the side, but when she heard this accusation, her expression changed: "You're talking nonsense, I didn't do it!"
"If not, then may I ask, Second Sister, why did your bracelet appear on her wrist?"
Ni Yueshuang glared and said, "What bracelet?"
Ni Yueshan stepped forward and grabbed Xiutao's wrist, and the jade bracelet appeared in Ni Yueshan's sight.
Ni Yueshuang rolled her eyes and snorted, "I have so many bracelets, how would I know that one would be lost? She must have stolen it!"
Xiu Tao knelt on the ground in grievance: "I am a maidservant serving the Madam. How could I have the opportunity to go to the Second Young Lady's room and steal a bracelet? It was you, the Second Young Lady, who gave me the bracelet and asked me to do a good job, saying that you wanted to teach the Madam a lesson so that the eldest young lady would be more restrained!"
