That night, Yu Mama rarely stayed in the old lady's courtyard, but went to the couple's house outside. Although the courtyard was not big, it was not something that a slave in a family could afford.

Housekeeper Wang was drinking alone in the room. Seeing Yu Mama arrive late, and thinking about everything that had happened today, he felt unhappy and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so late?"

"Didn't I ask you to go with me tonight?" Sun Shaohua had already given orders during the day, ordering someone to escort He to the farm under cover of darkness, and to expel Wang Yun from the Sun household, forbidding him from appearing in the city. For slaves, the indentures were crucial; without them, they were effectively undocumented. Sun Shaohua had done this on purpose, unwilling to hand over the indentures.

"Who am I now? My own nephew has gotten into my bed. Do you think I can live with it?" Butler Wang drank the wine in the bowl and was about to pour it out again.

Yu Mama stopped him with one hand, "What good is drinking? Has the master ever asked you anything about the shop and the farm?"

Housekeeper Wang looked sideways at him and said, "What is he asking? My accounts are so beautiful, what can he ask me? This young man Sun Shaohua knows nothing. He is just angry about those things and he is not happy with me." After saying that, he walked around Yu Mama's hand and poured another bowl.

"Hmph, what do you know! I've watched the master grow up, how could I not know what he's like?" Mother Yu glanced at him with disdain, but didn't try to stop him. "The master may seem indifferent, but he's actually quite bright. If it weren't for his mother's inability to teach him, he wouldn't still be without any achievements and just hanging around with women."

"Your nephew is useless now. If Mrs. He is really pregnant with Wang's child, I will admit him even if he is given to me! It's because I don't have the ability!" Mother Yu said, her eyes still fixed on the reaction of Butler Wang.

Hearing this, Housekeeper Wang quickly advised, "What are you talking about? We have a real bond. I've never blamed you for not being able to have children. We should just depend on each other. If this He can really give birth to a nephew for me, I'll raise him."

Mama Yu was the backbone of Housekeeper Wang. Housekeeper Wang had previously worked for Master Sun and was an honest man. But since he started living with Mama Yu, his life had changed dramatically. A small courtyard had been built, and his incompetent nephew had almost become the shopkeeper. Before he married Mama Yu, he had no idea that a servant could be the master's boss.

Seeing that Butler Wang was sincere, Mother Yu stopped talking.

"I personally fed Mrs. Xiao the medicine that day, but she woke up after four days of coma? Do you think this person can be so tough and immune to all poisons?" Mother Yu stared at the candlelight, unable to figure it out.

"I think that barefoot doctor is ineffective. I'm afraid it's fake medicine!" Steward Wang thought for a moment and said, "You are so brave that you dared to insert the medicine yourself. Now look, it didn't kill you, and you still remember how you did it."

"Oh, you think the master doesn't know all this. The master doesn't care about her at all. As long as he can keep the dowry, it doesn't matter whether she lives or dies."

"I don't think so now. She is the one who arranges everything in the house," said housekeeper Wang.

"I have already torn my relationship with her. Either she dies or I die. If she pretends to be nice and stirs up trouble in front of the master, neither of us will have an easy life. She has no evidence of feeding me the medicine. Can the old lady really let me let Xiao make up a story?" Mother Yu was very confident about the old lady's favor.

"Do you know about Doctor Wang?" Butler Wang looked at Mother Yu and thought of something because of the fake medicine.

"What?" Yu's mother suddenly became nervous. This person knew too much, and there was no room for error.

"Doctor Wang was arrested by the police."

"What crime?"

"Making counterfeit medicine!" Butler Wang saw that Mother Yu had tensed up and knew that this might be a big deal.

"What fake medicine? Tell me the whole story!"

"I heard it from my buddy. The captain angrily threw a bottle of red pills, saying they were sold to him by Doctor Wang. They said they could cure heart problems, but they didn't work. He still felt uncomfortable! Doctor Wang denied it, so the captain started smashing things up, and a lot of people gathered to watch."

"Red pill?" Yu's mother was confused.

"Yes, when it was thrown, the bottle shattered and scattered all over the floor. When the captain's men saw that Doctor Wang didn't recognize them, they searched through the medicine cabinets and actually found some in Doctor Wang's medicine box." Steward Wang took a sip of wine and continued, "Although they were both red pills, there was still a slight difference in color and size! To prove himself, Doctor Wang also asked the villagers to look carefully in front of everyone. The two pills are different!"

Mother Yu felt something was wrong. "Then what?"

"And then, the captain still didn't believe it. Although the captain's position is not high, he is used to being domineering in this city. I think he just wants to extort some money." Butler Wang said indifferently.

"The captain doesn't believe it, so what? Tell me!" Mother Yu couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up straight, slammed the table and asked Butler Wang to continue.

Seeing Yu's mother's expression was off, Butler Wang could only think again and said, "It's really nothing. Doctor Wang said that his red pill is poisonous and will cause acute death if taken. He usually hides it well and would never mistakenly sell it as medicine for treating heart disease."

"This idiot!" Mother Yu slammed the table. "Is there no one in your Wang family with any brains? He's a practicing doctor, and he actually said in front of everyone that his pills are poison? Does he want to quit being a doctor and drag me into this?"

"You still... you still have that?" Butler Wang felt guilty after being scolded. "Even if he's wrong, it won't drag you down..."

"The red pill I fed Xiao Lan was from his medicine box! Is he admitting in front of the whole city that it was poison?"

"What..." Butler Wang was a little worried, but then he thought it was nothing, "You fed her the food, she's not dead."

Mother Yu began to wonder if Cuizhu had cleaned up everything on the floor that day, including the scattered pills. Cuizhu was her niece, so she wouldn't betray her. But what about that woman? Her daughter was a shopkeeper who had been asked by Mother Yu to marry her, and she had accepted the money, so she certainly wouldn't say anything. Otherwise, her daughter would be abandoned in a matter of seconds. As she pondered this, she felt a little more at ease.

"Who is that captain of the police?" Yu's mother slowly sat down and asked.

"Yes...it's Xue Wu. He seems to have nothing to do with the Xiao and Sun families." Butler Wang explained hurriedly.

"Xue Wu..." I really hadn't heard of him. And because Xiao Lan had been able to speak a few words at home a few times before, she still wasn't allowed to go out. Mother Xu hadn't been able to send a letter home the last time.

Thinking of this, Yu's mother curled her lips. She said she secretly sent the letter home, maybe it was just to show her sincerity to the master. Otherwise, why did the master look at her differently since that day? No...it was after she woke up last time. She was told not to skimp on food and expenses.

Mother Yu couldn't understand what the two of them said to each other. Why did they seem to be of one mind? And that little lady Fang... She was sure that Xiao Lan had winked at her in the main hall.

"Tomorrow you go and ask the two maids who served Fang Xiaoniang what happened when Fang Xiaoniang fell into the water that day!" After saying that, he felt something was wrong.

"No! Go to the yamen tomorrow and ask when Doctor Wang will be able to come out!" After giving the order, Mother Yu was unwilling to stay in the yard. She turned around and went to Sun's house without caring about the darkness!
