The people kneeling in front of Song Qingqiu at this moment were not others, but their parents and relatives.
In addition, the housekeeper's husband, son, and grandson who worked in the Prime Minister's Mansion were also brought over.
Yang Jiaoyue's face was gloomy. She never expected that Song Qingqiu would be so insidious.
Song Qingqiu looked indifferent, and his eyes swept towards Yang Jiaoyue without any ripples.
Yang Jiaoyue clearly felt the provocation.
"If you know anything, confess it quickly, and you can avoid physical pain."
Song Qingqiu's hand was casually placed on the armrest. His hanging hand had distinct joints and slender fingers, but there was a deep scar on the back of his hand.
Chuntao lowered her eyebrows and could only see his black official boots, dark official robes, and scarred hands. A low voice sounded above her head, carrying an infinite sense of oppression.
Yang Jiaoyue clenched her fists, her body trembling slightly due to anger, rage and anxiety.
Shen Shaotang watched all this coldly, and his emotions gradually stabilized.
It turns out that my mother also arranged a maid to live in my eldest brother's room. So was my eldest brother buried in the sea of fire because he was drugged?
These two maids, and the kitchen manager... She didn't believe that her elder brother was a man who was greedy for beauty. If it was Shen Shaozhe who was plotted against, then it would be understandable.
But what if the medicine was in the food?
Chuntao lowered her eyes and said nothing.
She can be tortured, but can Song Qingqiu torture her family?
Song Qingqiu stared at her coldly and ordered in a cold voice: "Drag her away and give her twenty lashes."
These two maids were arranged by Yang Jiaoyue. How could they not know that aphrodisiac was put in Shen Shaoyu's food?
A maidservant, after all, is just a servant, a servant who can only sleep with the emperor.
How could they have so much money given their status? Their families also benefited a lot.
He could see that Chuntao was rather stubborn.
After Chuntao was taken away, Song Qingqiu looked at Fenhe.
"Your sister's illness is quite serious. If something happens to you, she probably won't be able to recover."
Song Qingqiu just said this.
Of course, he was not threatening Fenhe. He just wanted Fenhe to understand that she should not make the same mistake again, and that the mistake she made now was not fatal.
"Sister!" Her sister, who was only four years old, blinked her innocent eyes and shouted loudly.
The ignorant children did not know what was happening in front of them.
Fenhe trembled all over and burst into tears.
"Sir, sir, will I die? Sir, I don't want to die."
Her father died two years ago, and she sold herself to work in a dental clinic. Her sister had a cold that hadn't been cured for a long time and now has a cough.
If she died, what would happen to her sister and mother?
Song Qingqiu sighed and said, "The crime is not punishable by death."
Fen He wiped her tears, pointed at the gold and silver on the tray, and mustered up the courage to say, "Can I be honest? Can the money be used to treat my sister's illness?"
Song Qingqiu said calmly, "The large sums are stolen money, and the small amounts are rewards."
What he meant was that he could leave some for her.
Fen He immediately kowtowed and said, "I admit it, I admit it all."
Yang Jiaoyue's face turned pale, but she could do nothing now. If she spoke now, she would be confessing herself.
But she didn't say anything and could only watch Fenhe betray her.
All Fenhe did was just to treat her sister and to survive. She was willing to serve others, but she never thought of harming anyone.
No matter how stupid she was, she understood that the fire in the mourning hall today was definitely related to Yang Jiaoyue.
She kowtowed and said, "The aphrodisiac in the food was put in by the housekeeper. The Madam ordered us to seduce the young master. I don't know anything else."
She didn't think she was wrong to betray Yang Jiaoyue.
This was wrong in the first place, and Yang Jiaoyue even threatened them with their families. Anyway, they were not good people.
Since they were originally using each other for their own benefit, it was understandable that she was planning for herself.
Song Qingqiu nodded with satisfaction.
The coroner then stepped forward and added, "The potent aphrodisiac in the food is the same one found in the housekeeper's room. This drug is extremely sinister and potent, and will probably cause loss of fertility."
Song Qingqiu ordered, "Drag Fenhe away and give her twenty lashes as a warning to others. Chuntao, who refuses to change her ways despite repeated warnings, will be imprisoned in the Dali Temple along with the housekeeper to await further action."
Shen Shaotang also understood at this time.
Yang Jiaoyue not only plotted to have Shen Shaoyu burned to death, but also wanted to make him have no descendants.
Maybe that insidious trick didn't work, so he set fires one after another, which was really vicious.
The mother in charge refused to confess, even though the evidence was irrefutable and she was beaten to a pulp.
Her husband, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were all watching. The child's eyes were covered, and even the mother in charge did not scream.
This incident has nothing to do with the arson case.
But now that he has found out, he will definitely report it truthfully.
It was you who drugged the person, so don't tell anyone. The arson had nothing to do with you, as no one will believe you.
Even if the housekeeper did not give Yang Jiaoyue away, Yang Jiaoyue could not escape the connection.
Yang Jiaoyue said with a gloomy face: "I did instruct two maids to serve Shen Shaoyu, but I didn't know about the drugging."
So what if everyone knows she did it?
The aphrodisiac was given by the mother in charge.
She just arranged two maids to serve Shen Shaoyu.
At this moment, the housekeeper suddenly shouted, "I was the one who gave her the medicine. I have a grudge against Leng Wange. I want to destroy her son..."
This is taking the blame.
Without concrete evidence, we really can't do anything to Yang Jiaoyue.
She is Shen Shaoyu's stepmother, and there is nothing wrong with her arranging servants in her stepson's room.
Song Qingqiu looked at her as if she were a fool. He couldn't help but remind her, "Do you know how much the emperor values Young Master Shen? He has no official position but can attend court as an observer. In the entire court, apart from the emperor, he is the only one who can sit and attend court.
Therefore, regardless of whether this arson case can be solved, as long as something happens to Young Master Shen, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will be buried with him!"
Yang Jiaoyue trembled all over, her heart seemed to be squeezed by something, and panic spread, but she was unwilling to believe what Song Qingqiu said.
Shen Shaorou shouted in fear: "Why should we be buried with him? The fire in the mourning hall might have been an accident."
Shen Shaozhe was disheartened and didn't say a word from beginning to end.
"Mother, mother, please say something!"
Shen Shaorou shook Yang Jiaoyue's arm in fear.
Yang Jiaoyue pushed her away and slumped in the chair with a gloomy expression.
Song Qingqiu looked indifferent, and his expression gradually returned to coldness. Even though the result was already decided, he still had to investigate what he needed to.
He looked at Shen Shaotang and asked, "Miss Shen, have you calmed down a bit now?"
