Wang Yingying rolled her eyes, pointed at Qiu'er and said, "That must be her. You asked her to catch it!"
Qiu Er was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "This servant is innocent. Please, Madam, please investigate!"
Mrs. Wang angrily shouted, "That's enough! Since you won't admit it, then all of you should kneel down first. Stand up when you want to speak!"
She stood up and walked out, asking Wang Yanyan's gatekeeper in person.
She replied respectfully, "Madam, I have guarded the young lady's courtyard very strictly and have never seen any outsiders intrude!"
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but remind her, "It might not be an outsider. Perhaps it's a maid in our house?"
The old woman shook her head like a rattle: "Impossible, this servant has never left, and I have never seen that maid go this way!"
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but wonder, could it really be the maid beside Wang Yanyan who did it?
She has the best chance!
Thinking of this, a chill flashed across her face.
The bold and shameless maid had actually made her lose face in front of the Marquis's wife. She would never let her off easily.
She returned to the hall and saw chaos inside.
Wang Yingying had already passed out with her eyes closed, and the little maid beside her was calling out anxiously.
She scowled, "What are you making such a fuss about? Have you thrown the rules of the Censorate into the ground?"
The little maid trembled and reported: "Madam, the second young lady suddenly fainted. I am really worried about her!"
Mrs. Wang couldn't see through her second daughter's tricks. She said without hesitation: "Come, pour cold water on her to wake her up!"
Wang Yingying, who had originally had her eyes tightly closed, didn't dare to pretend anymore. She immediately stood up and said, "Mother, there's no need to water it anymore. I'm fine now!"
Mrs. Wang ignored her and asked the nanny beside her to tie Qiu'er up.
Wang Yanyan's whole body was trembling. She asked in disbelief, "Mother, why did you still tie Qiu'er up? Do you still not trust her?"
Madam Wang interrupted in a deep voice, "If you dare to protect her again, I'll beat you too. I just asked the maid guarding your yard, and she said no one has ever entered your yard, so the only suspect is Qiu'er!"
At this time, Wang Yingying shouted triumphantly: "Beat, mother, beat this bitch to death! There is no order without rules. She dared to scare Miss Zhan with a toad today, and she will dare to kill Miss Zhan tomorrow. Our Wang family cannot be implicated by her!"
Madam Wang shouted angrily, "Beat him!"
The nanny picked up the whip, but was pulled back by Wang Yanyan.
She stared with red eyes and said, "Mother, I believe Qiu'er. She knows how important Zhan Miao is to me. She will never scare her!"
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but frown. "You can't judge a person by his appearance. Perhaps you've been deceived by this lowly servant who appears kind on the surface but is actually quite vicious."
Wang Yanyan shook her head. "I don't have any. Those toads definitely didn't appear out of thin air. Someone must have gone out to buy them. Has mother asked the concierge?"
After these words were spoken, Wang Yingying, who was standing nearby and wanted to add insult to injury, felt a slight tremor in her heart.
Her eyes rolled around quickly, and after a moment she spoke impatiently: "Mother, it's too troublesome to investigate again and again. Just have someone beat Qiu'er. When she feels pain, she will confess!"
Before Madam Wang could say anything, Wang Yanyan said with a stern look in her eyes, "Second sister, are you trying to stop me like this because you've done something wrong and feel guilty?"
Wang Yingying's whole body was trembling. She angrily retorted, "Why should I feel guilty? The toad jumped out of your bookcase. Don't try to slander me!"
Wang Yanyan said, "I didn't mean to slander anyone. I just hope mother can find out the real culprit!"
Mrs. Wang immediately said, "Someone, call the doorman in!"
Soon, the doorman came hurriedly.
Madam Wang asked directly, "While the Marquis's wife was visiting, did any servants secretly leave the house?"
The concierge quickly replied, "Second Miss's maid, Tao'er, went out to get medicine for her mother. She returned in less than an incense stick of time!"
Mrs. Wang's expression suddenly changed. She subconsciously looked at Wang Yingying: "Is she your maid?"
Wang Yingying flatly denied it: "I don't know, I heard her mother was sick recently!"
Mrs. Wang ordered someone to call Tao'er over. She knelt on the ground trembling with fear and anxiety on her face.
Wang Yanyan walked up to her and asked, "The concierge said you went out to get some medicine. Which pharmacy did you go to, and what medicine did you get?"
Tao'er subconsciously looked at Wang Yingying, but her view was blocked by Wang Yanyan.
She shouted, "Tell me, what on earth did you go out for?"
Tao'er choked with sobs, feeling wronged. "Please forgive me, Miss. I went to the pharmacy very close to our Censor's Mansion. My mother has recently caught a cold!"
Wang Yanyan said in a deep voice, "Tao'er, think it over carefully before you speak. You should know very well that we can go to the pharmacy to verify it immediately. If it is proven that you are lying, not only will your tongue be cut off, but even your mother will be implicated!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Yingying angrily interrupted: "Why are you trying to scare her? Are you going to torture her into confessing? She is my maid, not yours. You have no right to do this!"
Wang Yanyan turned to look at Madam Wang: "Mother, did you promise Madam Hou that you would give her an explanation?"
Mrs. Wang frowned in pain and said, "Ignore your sister and continue interrogating her!"
Wang Yanyan said coldly: "No need to interrogate her, just invite the owner of the pharmacy into the mansion. He will definitely remember what medicine Tao'er took!"
Tao'er was frightened to death. She was young to begin with, and now she was completely panicked.
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Miss, I know I was wrong. What I bought from the pharmacy was a toad used as medicine, this servant!"
Before she could finish, Wang Yingying rushed in front of her like a whirlwind, raised her hand and slapped her hard, knocking her to the ground: "You slut, you actually did it! Why did you put such an ugly thing in the book box that big sister gave to Miss Zhan? What are your intentions?"
Tao'er was stunned. It was true that she bought it, but she didn't put it there herself, right?
When she met Wang Yingying's threatening gaze, she reacted immediately.
The second young lady intends to let her take the blame!
She sniffed with difficulty and said, "Second Miss, I did this all for you. I know you like that bookcase very much, so I want to help you get it!"
Wang Yingying was immediately furious. She pointed at Tao'er's head and cursed, "You idiot! No matter how much I like that bookcase, I can't possibly compete with Miss Zhan for it. She's my sister's good friend. How can I take her love away from her?"
By now, Mrs. Wang has realized that it may not be Taoer who is making the decision.
Wang Yingying must be the mastermind behind this!
