After waiting for a while, Yu Qiaoqiao brought Cui'er to Madam Gu's yard.

Madam Gu also received the news and hurried over with her personal maid.

On the way, they had heard from the servants that Yu Wangfei had been poisoned. Madam Gu was also worried that the seed in Yu Wangfei's belly would be affected, so she hurried over.

Lord Gu had previously explained that the fate of everyone in the Gu family depends on the baby in Yu Wangfei's belly, so now Yu Wangfei is the treasure of their entire Gu family, and absolutely no mistakes can be made.

Who is so blind that he dares to harm the baby in Yu Wangfei's belly?

Yu Qiaoqiao was also panicked. She took Cui'er with her just in case. If the matter was leaked, she would put all the responsibility on Cui'er. After all, she also knew how much the Gu family cared about Yu Wangfei's pregnancy.

Seeing the key person coming, Yu Wangfei took the plate of osmanthus cake and asked Yunhua to give it to Cui'er to taste.

The moment she saw the osmanthus cake, Cui'er was so scared that she took a step back, but she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Without any interrogation, we all know that Cui'er has something to hide.

"Grandma." Yu Qiaoqiao came closer obediently, trying to get closer to Madam Gu, "I wonder why Grandma called me here?"

"Sister, aren't you going to explain why Cui'er poisoned me?" Yu Wangfei didn't give Madam Gu a chance to speak and asked directly.

She was also worried that Madam Gu would still favor Yu Qiaoqiao. After all, she had seen with her own eyes that Yu Qiaoqiao slept in the same bed with another man, but Madam Gu did not punish her.

This is enough to show how important Yu Qiaoqiao is in Madam Gu's heart.

"Sister, are you kidding me? There is no way Cui'er would poison you." Yu Qiaoqiao straightened her back and looked at Yu Wangfei.

Yunhua interrupted, "Madam, Madam, Cui'er has never gone to the kitchen to get food before, but today she went to the kitchen..."

Before Yunhua could speak, Yu Qiaoqiao interrupted: "My husband is seriously injured in bed, why can't I ask Cui'er to go to the kitchen to get food!"

That makes sense, and it is indeed normal.

It was useless for Yu Wangfei to argue with Yu Qiaoqiao. No matter how much they said, she always had a way to refute. So she looked up at Yun Hua and motioned her to do it.

After receiving the instruction, Yunhua picked up the plate of osmanthus cake again: "If it is not poisonous, would you dare to eat it?"

After saying that, Yunhua pinched Cui'er's mouth and pushed it in.

But the poison was made by Cui Er herself, so how could he dare to take it? He could only dodge: "It's not me who made the poison, it's not me..."

“Stop it!” Yu Qiaoqiao stood up, pointed at Yunhua and cursed, “Maybe you guys poisoned the osmanthus cake to frame me, Yu Wangfei, you have such a cruel heart!”

"Am I poisoning myself to death?" Yu Wangfei sneered.

"You definitely can't eat it, you just want to frame me!" Yu Qiaoqiao climbed up and bit it.

Seeing her like this, Yu Wangfei didn't bother to talk nonsense and just stood up and walked to Cui'er. The only evidence now was to let Cui'er speak.

"You're not going to tell it yet, right? Don't worry, as long as you tell the truth, the Gu family won't make things difficult for others." Yu Wangfei stared at Cui'er with a cold face and whispered two words, "Xiaohua."

I learned this in my previous life when I accidentally overheard Cui'er talking to a stranger.

Cui'er was sold to the marquis's mansion by her father to be a maid. She also had a sister named Xiaohua living outside the mansion. After her father died, Cui'er only had her as a relative in this world.

In order to make Xiaohua's life better, Cui'er often stole things from the mansion and sold them, and gave all the money she got to Xiaohua.

This is why Cui'er is willing to do things for Yu Qiaoqiao, because Yu Qiaoqiao has a lot of evidence of her stealing.

"Sister, what is the meaning of forcing me to ask you like this?" Yu Qiaoqiao was dissatisfied, "Sister, don't you want to have the baby in your belly and don't want to contribute to the Marquis' Mansion, so you deliberately poisoned yourself."

She had evidence of Cui'er stealing things and knew that Cui'er would never speak for Yu Wangfei. Today, she was going to put the blame of poisoning on Yu Wangfei and let the old lady know that Yu Wangfei didn't want to have a baby in her belly at all.

Everyone knows that anything concerning the seed in Yu Wangfei's belly is a big deal.

"Nonsense!" Old Madam Gu glared at Yu Wangfei angrily, obviously believing what Yu Qiaoqiao said.

"Have you forgotten the last time a thief came to stab me? Until now, the Marquis' Mansion has not given me an explanation." Yu Wangfei shook his head speechlessly, "In that case, let someone kill me and the seed in my belly as well. Then we'll see whether the Seventh Prince believes me or you!"

"The last time, it must have been you who arranged the assassination. Otherwise, how could we not find the assassin!" Yu Qiaoqiao cursed directly.

Because the matter was investigated by Gu Baizhou, Yu Qiaoqiao was also there to assist.

But it was very strange that they checked the place inside and out but couldn't find any trace of him, so the matter was left unresolved.

"That's enough!" Madam Gu angrily knocked on the table, "Cui'er, you say."

This concerns the child in Yu Wangfei's belly, so she can't be careless.

Cui'er, who was already frightened, came to her senses when she heard the old lady calling her.

She thought for a long time and finally said, "I poisoned you."

"Who told you to do that?" Yu Wangfei took the opportunity to ask.

Since Cui'er admitted it, he should take this opportunity to pull Yu Qiaoqiao down.

"I did it on my own without any instructions from others." Cui'er insisted that it was she who did it.

Because her younger sister Xiaohua is still young and needs money, if she betrays Yu Qiaoqiao, Yu Qiaoqiao might find Xiaohua and kill her to vent her anger.

But Yu Wangfei's threat just now made her realize that Yu Wangfei also knew about Xiaohua's existence. If she dared to say that Yu Wangfei himself poisoned Xiaohua, then Xiaohua would definitely die.

That's why she wanted to take all the blame on herself in order to give Xiaohua a chance of survival.

"I felt sorry for my cousin and was jealous of the young lady, so I poisoned her." Cui'er lowered her head, "It's all my fault, please punish me, old lady."

Hearing Cui'er say this, Yu Wangfei knew that there was no way she could get Cui'er to identify Yu Qiaoqiao.

However, Yu Qiaoqiao is surrounded by loyal servants. Every time something happens, there is a maidservant who takes the blame for her. She wants to see how many maidservants around her can be loyal to her.

"You are the head of the family. Tell me how to deal with this matter." Old Madam Gu glanced at Madam Gu, indicating that she would not interfere in the matter.

The moment Cui'er admitted it herself, Mrs. Gu already suspected that it was Yu Qiaoqiao who instructed her to do it, but after Cui'er insisted that she was the one who did it, she felt that maybe Yu Qiaoqiao really didn't know about it.
