"To answer Miss, I was in charge of decocting the medicine, and Nan'er was in charge of delivering the medicine. However, the midwives sent Nan'er and me to fetch hot water..."

"It's Hua'er, the first-class maidservant beside the old lady."

Nan'er replied.

"At that time I saw her bringing in the medicine..."

"We suspected it at the time, but at that time, because my wife had heavy bleeding during childbirth, the master was angry and locked us all up..."

A first-class maid named Huaer?

Gu Zhaoyou had investigated this. People in the mansion said that Huaer's mother redeemed her and then disappeared.

Gu Zhao checked every person who entered the house that day, and investigated every single one of them carefully.

Gu Zhao looked at Qin Shiyi.

"Bring people in."

The first-class maid Huaer was pushed in.

Hua'er's hands today are rough and his face is tanned. He no longer looks like he did a decade ago.

"This slave has met the eldest lady."

"Who instructed you to drug the lady?"

Gu Zhao asked Huaer.

Hearing what the eldest lady said, Huaer started crying.

"It was the kitchen manager Liu. She gave me a packet of medicine and said that if I didn't obey, she would sell me to a brothel... I only put a little bit of the medicine..."

Hua'er knew that there must be something wrong with the medicine. She didn't want to harm the lady, but Manager Liu and the others were guarding there. If she didn't put the medicine in, they wouldn't let her go either.

After the lady had a heavy hemorrhage, she was redeemed by someone, but someone gave her mother and eldest brother 100 taels of silver, saying that they wanted to marry her, but in fact, they sold her far away...

Manager Liu was also dragged in.

Manager Liu had not been the kitchen manager in the mansion for a long time. Her family went to the manor, which was her mother Xie's dowry manor. It was taken back by Gu Zhao before.

Manager Liu and his family have lived very well at the farm in recent years.

Hearing Huaer's words, Manager Liu fell to his knees.

"My lady, it was Madam Zhu who sent Nanny Zhu to look for me. They threatened me with my son's gambling debts..."

Gu Zhao listened to what Manager Liu said and looked at her with gloomy eyes.

"So you killed my mother in order to protect your son? The tonic my mother drank before was also poisoned by you."

Manager Liu kowtowed repeatedly.

"Miss, please spare us. Madam Zhu sent someone to threaten us. If we didn't listen, she would send us all to jail..."

Gu Zhao looked at these people and thought of her mother, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

Although she had always known that it was Zhu who killed her mother, now that she had found evidence, she wished that Zhu would die immediately so that she could make amends to her mother in the afterlife.

"Have them sign and seal their names, lock them up, and give a copy of the testimony to Minister Gu."

After hearing their master's words, Qin Shiyi, Cuihua and others all agreed.

"Yes."

Gu Zhao waved his hand and everyone retreated.

Gu Zhao took out a portrait of his mother from the cabinet in the study. Although the portrait had been there for so many years, it had not faded. The mother in the portrait was smiling.

My grandfather spent a lot of money to hire an artist to paint this picture for my mother.

"Mom, I will avenge you soon. I will not let anyone who harmed you go."

Gu Zhao also suspected that Minister Gu was involved. Even if Minister Gu did not do it, he knew about it.

She wanted Minister Gu to divorce Zhu, and then she would deal with Minister Gu. Minister Gu did not value this position the most.
