This time, Mrs. Li didn't dare look at Liu, and quickly told her that Madam Qi was looking for her.
"It was Madam Qi who asked me to put the medicine in the tea of the Crown Prince's wife and then lure Master Xu over there."
The old lady was stunned. "Medicine? What medicine?"
The others also looked puzzled. Why did the medicine issue come up again? It seemed like there was something serious going on here!
Before Mrs. Li could answer, Madam Qi came out from behind Mrs. Liu, knelt on the ground, and replied calmly, "It's an aphrodisiac."
"What?" The old lady was startled and could not speak for a long time.
"Where did you get this medicine?" Wu Anhou's voice was so cold that it could freeze ice. He didn't expect that there would be such dirty medicine in his home.
Their great Wu'an Marquis Mansion’s reputation was almost ruined!
"I bought it from the people at Zuihuafang."
"Someone, go search!"
The others were also stunned on the spot. Xu Jun was the first to react and cursed, "You damned woman! I have no grudge against you, yet you dare to hurt me like this!"
Aunt Qi glanced at Xu Jun coldly and replied in a sullen voice, "Mr. Xu, you're not wronged. Don't you know your own character?"
"You!" Xu Jun was stunned by Aunt Qi's words, then stood up angrily and kicked Aunt Qi down. "What kind of person is this young master? It's not your turn as a servant to comment on him!"
Xu Jun's mother was unhappy, and a hint of anger appeared on her face. "No matter how bad the son of our country's mansion is, it's not something you can plot against just because you want."
After saying that, she looked at the old lady and said, "Sister, you must give me an explanation for what happened today."
The old lady's expression froze and she said nothing.
Madam Qi remained calm as she turned over and knelt again. "This was done by Li Pozi, the old servant. If the Marquis wants to beat or kill me, I will take responsibility."
Seeing that Madam Qi had taken the matter upon herself, Liu felt relieved, yet at the same time, she pretended to be distressed and asked, "Madam, why are you doing this?"
Madam Qi looked at Madam Liu and smiled kindly, "Miss, I have taken care of you since you were a child. How could I possibly let a junior bully you? You are too soft-hearted to punish me, but I cannot bear to see you suffer any injustice."
"But Ma'am, it's okay if I suffer a little injustice, but you can't get yourself involved because of this!" Liu's voice was a little choked.
"Don't cry, young lady. This old servant just can't stand it. Ever since you married into the Marquis's mansion, you have been diligently managing the backyard for the Marquis, taking care of your parents-in-law and children.
But in the end, the Marquis punished you and the Third Young Miss because of this unknown Crown Prince's wife, and even took away your stewardship. I just can't swallow this." Madam Qi was so moved by this that she started to cry.
He looked like he was being bullied and wronged, yet he didn't dare to resist.
If someone who didn't know the truth heard this, they would think that Liu was living in dire straits in the Marquis' Mansion.
Xia Tian rolled her eyes. It was so shameless. She could just clear herself of the charges, but she was still accused of disrespecting elders.
The old lady's sister, Xu Jun's mother, looked at Xia Tian in disbelief when she heard what Aunt Qi said.
This was the first time she heard of a daughter-in-law bullying her mother-in-law.
Xu Junze asked Chen Nian curiously, "Is your wife so tough? Even your mother-in-law bullied her to the point where she had no chance of survival?"
Although he didn't quite believe what Aunt Qi said, he still remembered clearly how fierce his cousin's wife was.
Shen Nian rolled his eyes at him and asked in a cold voice, “Then why did my cousin let a servant plot against him?”
Xu Jun shut up with a sullen look on his face.
After a while, the guards brought the found medicine to Marquis Wu'an.
"My Lord, the palace doctor has confirmed it, and it's this medicine."
Marquis Wu'an pinched his brows wearily, "Madam Qi, do you have anything else to say?"
Aunt Qi said sternly, "This old slave has nothing to say."
Xu Jun couldn't help but interrupt again, "Brother, this old slave belongs to my wife. Doesn't my wife know anything about this? I don't believe it."
Xu Jun's mother also looked at Wu'an Hou and Liu leisurely.
The meaning was very obvious, but she didn't believe it.
Xia Tian wanted to applaud this second-generation rich guy. He was so bold and hit the nail on the head!
I didn't expect that a kid who lives in a big house, even if he is a second-generation rich kid, is so familiar with the secret methods of the backyard!
After Xu Jun finished speaking, he glanced at Shen Nian complacently, as if to say, "Nephew, do you think your uncle is not so useless?"
Shen Nian glanced at it and then looked away.
When Liu heard Xu Jun say this, she tightened her grip around Madam Qi's arm and said in a sad voice, "Cousin, what do you mean by this? Do you think I ordered this?"
"That's hard to say." Xu Jun replied coldly.
Liu was furious and knelt before the Marquis of Wu'an. "My Lord, do you see me this way too? Don't you know what kind of person I am after all these years?"
Madam Qi also quickly spoke up to defend Liu, "My Lord, this was my own idea, and Madam was completely unaware of it."
Marquis Wu'an glanced at Liu and said nothing.
The old lady was getting impatient. This matter could only stop with Madam Qi. Liu was the clan member of their Wu'an Marquis Mansion and could not bear such a vicious reputation.
So he reminded Wu Anhou, "My Lord, why are you still asking about something so obvious? Since Madam Qi has admitted it and the medicine has been found, just deal with it directly!"
Marquis Wu'an waved his hand and ordered people to drag Madam Qi and Mrs. Li away.
Liu held Madam Qi's hand and cried like a tearful person, "Madam, Madam, what will I do if you leave?"
Aunt Qi also wiped away her tears and said, "Miss, don't be sad. This is what I should do. After I am gone, please take good care of yourself."
Marquis Wu'an frowned impatiently, and the guards dragged him away with all their strength.
After a while, the sound of beating was heard in the yard.
Xu Jun and his mother saw that there was nothing more to say, so they said goodbye to the old lady and left.
Shen Nian had a cold face and said nothing more in the end. He took Xia Tian back to Lingyun Pavilion.
The others saw the matter come to an end and dispersed.
After a while, the only people left in the hall were Marquis Wu'an, Liu who was slumped on the ground, and the old lady.
Marquis Wu'an glanced at Liu and said in a deep voice, "You'll have to take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he walked out of the old lady's yard without looking back.
The old lady waved her hand and took Nanny Zhang's hand and walked into the inner hall.
Liu sat for a while before she went out with Qiuyue's support. Seeing that Madam Qi had passed away, she felt sad.
Someone had Madam Qi's body moved back and buried properly.
As for Mrs. Li, no one cared about her. The Second Lady couldn't stand it anymore, so she had someone drag her away and hand her over to Mrs. Li's family.
In the end, all of Li Pozi's family members were sold out without exception.
As for Madam Qi, none of her family members were in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion. She was brought here when Liu got married. The other family members also worked for Liu alone, so the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion had no power to deal with them.
Here, Shen Nian and Xia Tian returned to Lingyun Pavilion. After sending the others out, Shen Nian asked, "Why did you change your mind?"
