Lin Shuning smiled and said, "Isn't this simple? Madam and the Lord will know who was involved if you think about it carefully."

Yun Sheng and Wei Xi looked at each other, then moved their gaze to Long Yue. Yun Sheng spoke in a cold voice, intimidating without even getting angry: "Is it you?"

Long Yue was already sweating profusely from fear. A trace of panic flashed through her eyes. She knelt on the ground with a plop and said innocently, "I am innocent. I have been loyal to my duties in the mansion for so many years. I would never do such a thing. Besides, I have been with Madam for ten years. I have served Madam since I was a child. How could I do something to harm her?"

Wei Xi shook her head indifferently. She was always gentle, but now she was a little angry. "You have indeed been with me for ten years, so I can trust you with confidence to make the medicine. I trust you wholeheartedly. I have been feeling unwell these days, and I doubted everything except you! Longyue, you disappoint me so much!"

Long Yue's tears had already fallen, and her face was filled with a complicated expression. Her eyes flickered, and she seemed to have made up her mind: "I absolutely did not do anything to harm Madam. It was her, she must have framed me!"

She pointed at Lin Shuning and said angrily, "It was rumored in the capital before that the third daughter of the Shangshu Mansion was an ignorant fool, but she suddenly stabilized the madam's pregnancy. Her medical skills are even better than those of the imperial physician. How is this possible? She must have used some evil magic to harm the fetus in the madam's belly!"

"Snapped--"

A crisp slap.

Wei Xi's knuckles turned white, and her chest rose and fell violently with anger. She looked at Long Yue with disappointment: "You made such a big mistake, but you actually pushed it onto the Third Miss. I think I have spoiled you too much on weekdays, making you lose track of who is superior and who is inferior, and forget your own status for a moment!"

"I..." Longyue covered her face with her hands, her tearful eyes full of unwillingness, and her eyes as sharp as a blade seemed to want to cut Lin Shuning into pieces.

One step, just one step!

It’s all her fault. If she hadn’t appeared suddenly, her plan would have succeeded!

Lin Shuning smiled and said calmly, "You just think that I have framed you just by talking. If that's the case, I will produce solid evidence and leave you speechless.

The blood-activating medicine you put in there is called Albizzia bark. This medicine is extremely strong. Once it sticks to your hands, your hands will feel like they are being pricked by needles, itchy and painful. In order to relieve this symptom, people can't help scratching. Do you dare to stretch out your palm and let us see it?"

Longyue's heart sank bit by bit, and she clenched her hands unconsciously and hid them behind her back.

"If you don't dare, doesn't that mean you're admitting your guilt?" Lin Shuning raised his voice slightly with a hint of coldness.

"You are so brave!" Yun Sheng saw that the evidence was already in front of him, and he could no longer suppress his anger. If he didn't want to accumulate blessings for his unborn child, he would have wanted to stab this heartless bitch to death with a sword!

"My wife and I have treated you well, why are you doing this? Do you know that if you keep eating like this, the children and adults will have a hard time surviving? You don't care at all about the master-servant relationship we have had for so many years. You really have a heart of a vicious snake!" Yun Sheng said with great sorrow.

Long Yue knew that she was powerless to change the situation, so she stopped pretending and sneered coldly: "You are indeed treating me well, but have you ever thought that this is not what I want at all.

In the past, I was also the daughter of a wealthy family, and I was also a legitimate daughter. Unfortunately, my family fell into poverty, and I was demoted to a slave. Over the years, I accompanied the daughter to grow up, watched her get engaged, married into the general's mansion with great fanfare, have a husband who loves her, and now have a child.

I'm jealous! Obviously, my appearance is not inferior to that of the young lady, I'm just a little bit less lucky, why is she so happy? I just want her to taste the pain like me!"

After Longyue finished speaking, she burst into laughter, and her pretty face looked distorted and extremely ugly.

Wei Xi looked at her in disbelief, almost choking. Lin Shuning quickly stepped forward to support her and calm her down: "Master Yun, there is no need to say anything more to this lunatic. Send her to the Dali Temple and let the government handle it."

"Madman, you are really a madman! How dare you compare with my wife!" Yun Sheng could no longer hold back and kicked Longyue to the ground. He clapped his hands and several guards immediately stepped forward and dragged Longyue away.

The courtyard finally became quiet.

"Madam Yun, don't take this matter to heart, lest you get angry and get sick. You have to take yourself into consideration in everything now. You should be happy that something like this happened today. You have eliminated the hidden dangers around you, and you don't have to worry about it anymore in the future." Lin Shuning saw that Wei Xi looked unhappy, and spoke to comfort her.

Wei Xi forced a bitter smile: "I just didn't expect that Longyue, this maid, has been with me for so long, but I didn't realize that she has such a big opinion of me. I wonder if there is really something I haven't done well enough..."

"Don't think like that. She ignored the years of master-servant friendship and put drugs in your pregnancy-preserving medicine. Did she ever consider you? No! Why should you consider her now?" Lin Shuning's voice was cold.

"You're right," Wei Xi smiled faintly, "Forget it, let's not talk about her. I'm lucky to have you today. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my child and I would have been killed."

"This is what I should do as a doctor. If Madam Yun feels unwell in the future, please tell me immediately."

"Sure!" Wei Xi said firmly.

Yun Sheng held Wei Xi's hand, leaned down, and rested his forehead on their clasped hands, feeling a little scared. He couldn't imagine how irreversible things would have become if he hadn't invited Lin Shuning today and hadn't discovered it.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay. We just need to be more careful in the future. Besides, isn't the Third Miss still here?" Wei Xi stroked his head gently and whispered to comfort him.

Yun Sheng raised his head, looked at Lin Shuning gratefully and said, "Miss Third, I have no way to repay your kindness. If you don't mind, I will recognize you as my sister. From now on, you and I will call each other brother and sister. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me and I will do my best to help you!"
