Seeing that her daughter was being suspected, Madam Song took the initiative to say, "It was indeed me who planted the pearl, but it was my own idea. Xin'er harbors resentment towards me and hardly speaks to me when we meet. She doesn't know anything about my affairs, so please don't make things difficult for her, Fourth Master."
"So it was you?" Xin'er looked at her in shock, her eyes full of astonishment. "Why did you drug Su Gege?"
Rarely did her daughter speak to her, Madam Song cherished this opportunity, her gaze fixed on her face, unwilling to look away. "You originally lived a carefree life with Princess Jin, but now you've been banished to the laundry house because of Princess Su. I felt indignant for you and wanted to teach Princess Su a lesson, which is why I secretly poisoned her as revenge."

As they spoke, Su Yushan's gaze seemingly unintentionally shifted to Jin Minjing's face, which immediately angered Jin Minjing. "Su Yushan, just say what you want to say, why are you looking at me? Do you suspect that I instructed her?"
With a cold snort, Su Yushan raised her cherry lips slightly and said sarcastically, "I didn't say that, Sister Jin, why are you panicking? Are you feeling guilty?"
