Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 96

Liu Manman stammered for a moment, managing to come up with a reason.

She said, "The antibiotic I have, when used together with the evil-repelling porridge, has the fastest and best effect. But I am the concubine of the Marquis of Yongning, and I am not on good terms with Lady Shen. I do not want to help her improve the prescription, nor do I want to give her the antibiotic directly, so I added it secretly."

Although saying this makes her seem petty and narrow-minded, it's still better than deliberately poisoning someone.

Qin Shaoze seized the opportunity to step forward and said, "My wife did indeed make a mistake by accident, and it was by no means intentional poisoning. She previously distributed a large amount of medicine to the disaster victims at the Huimin Pharmacy and made a great contribution. It would be too disheartening to sentence her to a heavy sentence for a mistake."

The deputy commander of the military command hesitated for a moment.

Poisoning carries a minimum sentence of three years in prison, while accidental poisoning is much less serious. In today's case, it would be fair to say that Liu Manman committed accidental poisoning, especially since she didn't succeed in poisoning and it didn't cause any serious consequences.

Without causing any impact, the Military Command did not want to create a grudge with the Marquis of Yongning's mansion and was willing to turn a blind eye.

Finally, the case was closed as Liu Manman negligently poisoning someone.

According to Northern Yi law, the minimum sentence is six months.

Liu Manman was taken away by the military police and handed over to the Ministry of Justice.

Upon hearing the six-month sentence, she nearly fainted.

She was the Emperor's personally appointed Divine Physician! She should have been radiant, famous throughout the world, and revered by millions!

How did it come to the point where I have to go to jail?

Even if things aren't great, she's still the Lady of Yongning Marquis!

In her mind, ancient laws were meant to govern ordinary people. How could a noblewoman like herself, with such a high status, be imprisoned?

Liu Manman couldn't accept this result at all, and she completely broke down, bursting into tears and making a scene in court. Later, she also insisted on seeing Qin Shaoze.

Qin Shaoze was extremely annoyed.

Although the Yongning Marquis's mansion is not a particularly prominent family, it has been passed down for decades. Now, it has become unprecedented for them to produce a poisoner's wife!

The Marquis's family, whose reputation was already in a terrible state, was now pushed to the forefront of public scrutiny. Qin Shaoze was completely humiliated and unable to hold his head high in the circles of powerful figures in the capital.

He felt that even after he died, he would have no face to meet the ancestors of the Qin family!

Qin Shaoze received a message from Liu Manman wanting to see him, but he had no intention of paying any attention to her.

He knew that Liu Manman wanted to see him, simply because she wanted him to find a way to get her out of trouble.

But the evidence against her poisoning was irrefutable, and it happened in full view of everyone, leaving him no way to cover it up. He had truly done his best to convict her of negligent poisoning and sentence her to the lightest possible six-month term.

He was already overwhelmed and in a terrible mood, and he didn't want to listen to Liu Manman's incessant crying and tantrums.

What did Liu Manman say when Qin Shuangya was to be sent to the Prince of Cheng's mansion as a concubine?

You should bear the consequences of your own actions.

The same goes for her. She poisoned the porridge for the disaster victims and did something so stupid. She should bear the consequences herself and stay in jail for as long as she needs to!
