Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

The woman said frantically, "Couldn't it be that we've created our own trap?"

"Since he knows he has no face to see me, and since he has already arranged things for me, then he naturally knows that he doesn't have long to live!"

The woman laughed through her tears, and said in a vicious voice:

"This whole thing started because of me. If you're going to catch the culprit, then arrest me too!"

"So you can go and report back!"

She was agitated, unable to accept the news of Fu Zeshan's death, and had lost her mind, even wanting to follow Fu Zeshan in death.

Ye Li knew it was cruel, but she still took out the poem that Fu Zeshan had written to Lu Wanning.

It slowly unfolded before her eyes.

Nothing can ignite the fighting spirit in someone who has nothing, except revenge and rebirth.

Lu Wanning can ignite her fighting spirit.

The fetus in her womb will stimulate her will to live.

When Ye Li thought of the crime of passion, she asked Li Siyi to search for Fu Zeshan's famous love poems that had been known throughout the streets and alleys back then...

Sure enough, when the sorrowful woman saw these poems, her love for Fu Zeshan was mixed with resentment and anger.

She tore the notes to shreds, her brows furrowed in anger, and said:

"I only lost because of my family background; he loves me!"

“Lu Wanning is very scheming. He said he doesn’t like women like that, but he likes women like me.”

"But he still left me in the end."

The woman covered her face and wept, her emotions fluctuating wildly, which worried the maidservant beside her greatly.

"Miss, please don't get agitated, take care of yourself."

The maid knelt down before everyone and kowtowed:

"Please, esteemed gentlemen, spare my wife! I will tell you the truth right away!"

From the maidservant, everyone finally learned the truth about Fu Zeshan's death.

Five years ago, Fu Zeshan rescued his mistress, Yuqing, from a brothel.

Yuqing was sold to a brothel by her family. She was unwilling to work in a brothel, and when she resisted, she happened to meet Fu Zeshan, so Fu Zeshan bought Yuqing at a high price.

After that, Yuqing followed Fu Zeshan and became one of his maids.

Fu Zeshan was a man of exceptional literary talent and dashing charm, one of the four most famous young masters in the capital. Yuqing quickly fell for Fu Zeshan's talent, while Fu Zeshan also appreciated Yuqing's understanding nature.

The two were deeply in love, but Fu Zeshan's parents disapproved, believing that the woman came from a lowly background.

After much deliberation, they finally waited until Lu Wanning and Mo Chen broke off their engagement, and then they wanted to curry favor with the Lu family.

Unfortunately, Lu Wanning was Mo Chen's former fiancée. In order to frame Mo Chen, the Emperor summoned Fu Zeshan to the palace and declared that if he did not comply, the child in Yuqing's womb would have to bear the consequences.

Fu Zeshan knew that offending anyone meant certain death.

So he had made arrangements for Yuqing beforehand, and he found many substitutes to travel from the capital to all parts of the country.

These doubles would disguise themselves and split into several convoys wherever they went to divert people's attention, making the search time-consuming and laborious.

Fu Zeshan knew he wouldn't live much longer. He was the only son of the Fu family, the Minister of Rites, and Yuqing was now pregnant. This child might be the only bloodline of the Fu family.

He spared no effort in this regard, utilizing all his resources and connections...

The maid said that his original plan was to wait until General Mo Chen won the battle and returned to the capital, then have Fu Zeshan provoke him and fight him. In the end, Fu Zeshan suffered a heart attack and died in front of everyone at the hands of General Mo Chen.

But unexpectedly, the medication took effect prematurely.

Fu Zeshan died there...

The plan to frame Mo Chen was never mentioned again because Mo Chen was far away on the frontier.

So they actually lived in the capital all along, leading a peaceful life.

"Originally, I kept this matter a secret from Miss Yuqing, but now I can't hide it anymore. I hope that you esteemed guests can spare Miss Yuqing."

The young maidservant kowtowed violently, her head slamming heavily to the ground.

"You were the one who put that drug in your mouth, weren't you? You hate Fu Zeshan for abandoning you," Li Siyi asked.

"Yes, I did it." Yuqing confessed without hesitation.

The maidservant said in a panic, "No! No! It really isn't Miss Yuqing!"

Seeing that Yuqing was determined to die and had confessed to all her sins, the maidservant wept beside her, asking her mistress why she was doing this.

Mo Chen saw that one of them confessed to the crime, while the other did not.

I took a look at Li Siyi and Xiao Ziming.

It was difficult for three grown men to handle this situation, so Ye Li stepped in.

She asked Mo Chen to tell her:

"Do you know that by admitting to this crime, you've offended the entire Lu family?"

"For the rest of your life, even if you give birth to the child, you will only be able to leave the child behind and leave the mother behind."

Yuqing remained calm: "I plead guilty."

Finally, the maid asked anxiously, "Miss, why..."

Miss Yuqing smiled and said to the maid:

"He has done many wrong things, and now he's probably going to hell. I'll go to hell to join him..."

The young maidservant wept uncontrollably, crying out in a pitiful voice, "No! No!"

"It was clearly Young Master Zeshan who betrayed you. It was clearly him who was unfaithful. He's that heartless and fickle bastard, he deserves to die!"

"I was the one who really killed him. I put the poison... on his clothes."

"I did it."

Everyone was shocked; the story was actually like this…

The maid said that Fu Zeshan did indeed have a heart ailment, but the doctor said it wasn't a very serious illness.

Unless there are extreme emotional ups and downs, and the patient has taken medications that excessively stimulate the heart, leading to arrhythmia, their heart condition is no different from that of a normal person.

The young maidservant had been in contact with Fu Zeshan for many years, so she naturally knew a lot about them.

After watching Fu Zeshan settle Miss Yuqing in, she never came back.

They knew perfectly well that they had been abandoned, no matter how sweet his words sounded on the surface.

The maid knew that Fu Zeshan frequented Zuiyulou and knew his whereabouts, so on that day she handed him a piece of clothing, saying that Miss Yuqing was worried that he would catch a cold.

After putting it on, Fu Zeshan continued his debauchery.

He had a habit of stroking his sleeves back and forth with both hands when he was thinking. The maid noticed this by chance, seeing that his sleeves were always wrinkled.

She placed the drug, which could cause patients to have a rapid heartbeat and irregular heart rhythm, on her sleeve.

After he finished drinking, he took the opportunity to say that Miss Yuqing wanted to have some embroidery patterns embroidered on her clothes and wanted to take them back.

Fu Zeshan, without suspecting anything, gave her the clothes.

As the rumors suggested, Fu Zeshan appeared to suddenly become anxious.

Without any injuries or fighting, he died in the Drunken Moon Pavilion.

After learning the truth, the people did not feel the joy of solving a case...

This sensational drama that shook the capital was actually orchestrated by a mere maid.

Moreover, this medicine is not poisonous; it only causes a rapid heartbeat and arrhythmia. No wonder Fu Xiyang couldn't detect it after so long...

Fu Zeshan already had an illness, but it was aggravated and worsened his condition...

Upon hearing this, Yuqing became less agitated; she simply sighed.

"You idiot..."

“I am carrying this child. Even if I kill someone, I will not die immediately. The Fu family will definitely protect me.”

"Why are you doing this..."

The maid cried and said, "I don't want Miss to suffer anymore."

The two embraced and wept bitterly, for this unjust fate, for this inescapable destiny...

The house was filled with mournful cries, which lingered in everyone's hearts.

Ye Li felt sad. She lowered her eyes and looked at the ground.

At this moment, Mo Chen slowly reached out and gently took her hand.

He said softly, "Don't worry, all my money is with you."

"I can't afford to support others."
