Chapter 647: The Truth

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Qingzhi had observed over two hundred servants and maids in the Ning family from start to end, and only that delicate-looking servant boy showed any anomaly. However, to be cautious, she still asked, “Chunli, was everyone here?”

Chunli nodded. “Everyone was here.”

Chu Qingzhi then instructed Chunli, “Take some people and check that servant boy’s room for any women’s clothing.”

Chunli nodded, “Okay, I’ll go right now.”

Chu Qingyue and Chu Qingningcame over, with Chu Qingyue frowning, “Fifth Sister, was it that servant boy?”

“Yes, let’s go have a look.”

The three sisters went to the next room together.

The delicate-looking servant boy was still unconscious, his face clean and features somewhat refined. His small frame made him look inconspicuous in women’s clothing, almost fitting.

Ning Yuting entered, his presence heavy with a low mood, “I’ll just listen in; don’t mind me.”

Chu Qingzhi took a bowl of water and splashed it on the servant boy’s face.

The boy shook his head and quickly came to his senses, panicking, “Young Madam, Misses, why have you tied me up?”

Chu Qingning angrily said, “Acting so innocent, if we didn’t know better, you’d have fooled us!”

The servant boy put on an innocent look, very much like a green tea bitch, “I haven’t done anything, Young Madam, are you sure you haven’t made a mistake?”

Chu Qingning huffed, ” You really won’ t cry until you see the coffin!’1

As calm as usual, Chu Qingzhi asked, “How did you drug your Young Madam’s medicinal cuisine?”

The boy’s hand clenched into a fist, his eyes filled with fear looking at Chu Qingzhi, and he struggled to speak, “Lin Qing went home to visit her family, and I disguised myself as a maid to fetch the medicinal meal. I took a detour to a secluded room and mixed the medicine into the meal there.”

Chu Qingning suddenly said, “Fifth Sister, to cause infertility in Second Sister, it would take a long-term dosing. He only did it once or twice, which wouldn’t be effective.”

Let’s hear what he has to say.” Chu Qingzhi turned to the servant boy, “What’s your relationship with Lin Qing?”

The boy, not fully grasping the situation, already answered, “We’ve been childhood friends, grown up together.”

“Did Lin Qing know about the drugging?”

“Yes, every time she went to deliver the medicinal meal, I would intercept her halfway and take her to that secluded room to get intimate. She would watch me mix the medicine into the meal and even stir it herself with a spoon…”

Chu Qingning interrupted the servant boy, “My second sister has only been married for a few days. But from what you’re saying, you’ve been doing this for a long time. Who were you trying to drug?”

The young master, of course. If the young master became infertile, wouldn’t that solve everything? Drugging the young madam was just a precaution. ” Ning Yuting’s face turned icy, his gaze piercing the servant boy as if wishing to kill him on the spot.

Chu Qingyue was visibly shaken, “Yuting, let Fifth Sister check your pulse later. It’ll be okay.”

Ning Yuting looked at Chu Qingyue, his expression softening slightly, hoping it wasn’t too late.

Chu Qingning cursed, “You’re too malicious!”

The servant boy resigned himself, “Do you even know what this place is? Are you unaware of the wealth in the Ning family? Wealth tempts the heart!”

Chu Qingzhi frowned, “Who instructed you to do this?”

The servant boy suddenly laughed, his laughter filled with helplessness and sorrow, “Two years ago, Second Master took in a concubine named Tang Rou, the woman I loved. For her, I came to the mansion to work as a servant boy, secretly meeting with Tang Rou. But, but…” He started crying, “One time, our meeting was discovered by the Second Madam.”

“Second Madam didn’t say anything at the time. Afterwards, she called us over and threatened us, making us drug Young Master.”

“To achieve the goal, I deliberately got close to Lin Qing. Lin Qing and I grew up together, and she already liked me. Once I showed some interest, she complied with everything I wanted.”

After saying this, the servant boy laughed crazily, in despair, as if their lives were ruined, with no future left.

After the servant boy calmed down a bit, Chu Qingzhi continued to ask, “Do you know who tampered with the sachet?”

The servant boy looked bewildered, “I don’t know about the sachet, we didn’t do anything to it.”

Footsteps approached, and then Xia Mei appeared, “Young Master, Young Madam, something has happened.”

Ning Yuting turned, “What happened?”

Xia Mei said gravely, “Tang Rou has hung herself.”

The servant boy trembled, cautiously asking, “Is she dead?”

Xia Mei confirmed, “She’s dead.”

“Tang Rou…” The servant boy was overwhelmed with grief, calling out Tang Rou’s name in despair.

Chunli brought a set of maid’s clothes into the room, “Fifth Miss, these were found in the servant boy’s room.”

“Okay.” Normally, the servants who made mistakes in the mansion were directly handled by the family. Chu Qingzhi left the following matters to Ning Yuting, not planning to intervene further.

“Fifth Sister, could you check on Yuting…” Chu Qingyue found it hard to speak. Chu Qingzhi checked Ning Yuting’s pulse. He was showing symptoms of oligospermia, which was not very optimistic. “As long as he stops taking the drugs causing infertility, his body should recover after some time. Don’t worry too much; it can still be salvaged.”

Chu Qingyue was relieved, “Thankyou, Fifth Sister.”

Chu Qingzhi continued to investigate the truth behind the sachet and the accidental deaths of Ning Yuting’s parents.

The sachets in the mansion were made by a maid named Yun Lan, whose father was ill. Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning went directly to Yun Lan’s home.

Every city has its wealthy and poor areas, and Yun Lan’s home was located in a poor area of the capital. The houses were low and old, the environment was dirty and disordered, and the people coming and going were messy, overall not good.

Yun Lan’s home was on the edge of the poor area. After becoming a maid in the Ning family, she filled the area around her home with flowers needed for making sachets. If one didn’t consider the overall environment, her home was very beautiful.

Xia Mei lifted her skirt, “This is Yun Lan’s home.”

The air was filled with pleasant floral scents, intoxicating. From the old house came bouts of coughing, breaking the picturesque scene.

A woman in her forties with white, dry hair came out of the house, hurried over upon seeing the three ladies as beautiful as flowers, “Who are you? Do you have business with my home?”

Xia Mei smiled, “We are here to see Yun Lan. Is she here?”

Hearing the conversation, Yun Lan ran out, happily calling, “Sister Xia Mei.”

Xia Mei inquired with concern, “Is your father feeling better?”

“He’s better, thankyou for your concern, Sister Xia Mei.” Yun Lan invited, “Sister Xia Mei, Misses, please come in and sit.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “No need to bother, we just have a few questions. After asking, we’ll leave.”
