"It was she who wanted to harm others. Did we provide her with the medicine, or did we provide her with people? Even if you did give her some advice, can anyone prove that it was you who gave it?" Luo Linfei picked up the pen again and said, "If she doesnât mention you, thatâs fine. If she does, just deny everything to the death and say that the Madam of Prime Minister is falsely accusing you. Isnât that enough?"
"Will this work?" First Madam Luo was no longer panicking, but she was still a bit hesitant.
"Why wouldnât it work?" At this moment, Luo Linfei really looked down upon her motherâs worried demeanor.
The idea was her motherâs, it was also her mother who sought out the Madam of Prime Minister. Now that things have happened, whatâs the use of worrying? If she was really worried, she shouldnât have used someone else in the first place.
Truly cowardly, no wonder Grandmother never thought much of her when she was around.
Luckily, Iâm not like her. Luckily, when I was locked up, I realized a lot of things. Otherwise, with a mother like this, how could I ever expect to succeed in life?
"You werenât the one who did the actual deeds, what are you afraid of?" Luo Linfei continued to ask, "Besides, have you figured out why the bailiffs are arresting the Madam of Prime Minister? Is it really because of Yang Xiayunâs matter, or is it something else?"
"It is about Yang Xiayunâs affair. Those bailiffs have already said it. They said Prince Anâs Mansion accused the Madam of Prime Minister of harming others, so sheâs temporarily detained and will be interrogated tomorrow."
"Oh, anyway, it has nothing to do with us, just wait and see. Mother, if you have nothing else, you should go back for now. I want to practice painting."
The First Madam Luo saw that she indeed engrossed herself in her painting again, shook her head, and left.
On the way, she kept muttering to herself, Linfei is nothing like before; not only has her temperament improved, but sheâs also become smarter, more like a true daughter of a noble family.
Actually, it was quite normal for the First Madam Luo to have such concerns, because it was her words that the Madam of Prime Minister had listened to before committing these deeds. Now that everything had come to light, it was impossible for her not to involve the First Madam Luo.
The next day at the yamen, the Madam of Prime Minister wouldnât admit that she had ordered people to harm Yang Xiayun, but when Nanny Gui, Old Third Chen, and mother Hongye all came out to testify, she was dumbfounded.
She was wondering where those people had gone these past two days, and now she knew they had been caught.
Yet she still refused to admit it, but Nanny Gui even identified the source of the medicine, saying that it was given by her good sister. The yamen went to bring that nanny, after thirty strokes, no one dares not confess.
At this point, whether the Madam of Prime Minister confessed or not didnât matter; the yamen had already determined that she was responsible for everything.
The Madam of Prime Minister was unresigned and suddenly remembered that she hadnât initially intended to use such sinister methods to harm others, it was after First Madam Luoâs words in front of her that she had done so.
Thus, the First Madam Luo was also implicated.
"It was her, she was the one who gave me the idea, saying that if Yang Xiayun lost her child, the Luo Family would no longer marry her."
Upon seeing the First Madam Luo enter, the Madam of Prime Minister couldnât wait to point her out.
"Donât you dare slander me!" the First Madam Luo snorted coldly, "I already know about the despicable things youâve done, I never thought you were this kind of person. Just to marry your daughter into our Luo Family, you went so far as to condemn others to childlessness. Serves you right that your daughter canât get married."
"Wretched woman, you wonât admit it?" the Madam of Prime Minister cursed angrily, "You wanted to use me against the third branch of the Luo Family. Did you think I didnât know? Your family has no title. Youâre dissatisfied but donât dare confront the Emperor, so you went to harm the third branch. Did you really think I wouldnât find out?"
