After a while, Su Peisheng came back to report and presented an exquisite little box to the Fourth Master.

Before the box was opened, Jianqiu knelt down and said, "My Lord, this is all my fault."

"The status of a concubine is low, so she became a concubine when she entered the mansion."

"I was afraid that the concubine would threaten the position of the concubine, so I took action."

"The things in here were put there by this servant, and have nothing to do with Madam Fu-jin."

The Fourth Master said nothing, but looked on with a cold face as he watched Su Peisheng violently open the box.

The box contained not only the medicine for heavy bleeding that Nanny Sun mentioned, but also some other things.

After the court doctor examined them, he reported the uses of these things one by one.

The Fourth Master's face darkened as he listened. He stared at Yi Xiu and asked, "What do you want to do by keeping these things?"

Jianqiu was about to confess again, but the Fourth Master said directly, "Drag Jianqiu to the yard for interrogation, along with the people around Fu Jin."

Yixiu only looked up at the Fourth Master after hearing the last sentence.

Jianqiu is loyal, but the others may not be.

Yixiu stood aside, thinking about how to break the deadlock.

Yun Xinluo spoke at this time: "Master, this box contains medicine that can harm the fetus."

"As the master's wife, Fu Jin shouldn't do such a thing. It doesn't make sense."

"If I have no offspring, who will benefit?"

After saying the last sentence, the Fourth Master fell into deep thought.

Su Peisheng's mind suddenly turned and he thought of the Fourteenth Master.

If Su Peisheng can think of it, the Fourth Master can naturally think of it as well.

The more the Fourth Master thought about it, the darker his face became. No one spoke in the entire room anymore.

Seeing the Fourth Master's expression, Yixiu had to speak up: "Master Beile, I really didn't know these things existed."

"I will not be in the mansion today. I am afraid someone is trying to frame me."

"If my sister were still alive, she would definitely believe in my innocence."

Sure enough, as soon as Rouze was mentioned, the Fourth Master's expression softened.

Yixiu glanced at Yun Xinluo, and the meaning in her eyes was very clear: a substitute is just a substitute.

Yun Xinluo sat quietly aside, as if she didn't see anything.

Yixiu continued, "I have been taking care of Li Gege since she was pregnant."

"If I wanted to harm Li Gege, I would have done it long ago. Why would I wait until she gave birth?"

"I also lost a child. I know the pain of losing a child. How could you be so cruel?"

After the conversation, the Fourth Master successfully dispelled most of his doubts.

Yixiu lowered her head, with a hint of complacency in her eyes.

Yun Xinluo listened to the torture sounds outside the house and knew that things were almost done.

In today's game, Yixiu will lose miserably.

The Fourth Master looked at Yi Xiu who was kneeling on the ground, raised his hand and said, "The ground is cold, you should get up."

Yixiu said with a moved look on her face: "My Lord Prince believes in me, and I am deeply touched."

At this time, Su Peisheng came in to reply.

Yixiu had just stood halfway when she heard Su Peisheng say, "In reply to Lord Beile, the maid and the chief eunuch who served the wife have confessed."

"Not only is there Li Gege's matter today, but also, there is also the matter of the late Fu Jin."

Upon hearing this, Yixiu's legs went limp.

Yi Xiu didn't hear a word Su Peisheng said afterwards. She just stared at the Fourth Master with her fists clenched.

After hearing what Su Peisheng said, the Fourth Master raised his hand and slapped Yixiu.

Yixiu didn't dodge and was hit and her head was tilted.

The Fourth Master said angrily: "Rou Ze is your sister!"

Yixiu slowly turned her head and said with a sad smile: "If it weren't for my sister, I would have been the legitimate wife long ago."
