Wang Jiayi suddenly felt anxious. She couldn't even find a way to piece everything together in such a short time, let alone her maid withstand the interrogation. To her despair, Shu Yu immediately asked Yao Bo to take her maid to another room for questioning.
Wang Jiayi tried to stop them, but she couldn't even signal her maid.
Yao An and Yao Hong also grew nervous. They wanted to follow, but Shu Yu stopped them, assuring them that with Yao Bo and Madam Yao handling the matter, Wang Jiayi wouldn't be wrongly accused but would not be able to deceive them either. They decided to listen to her and stayed back.
In the meantime, Shu Yu took a dagger from her servant, blocking Yao An and Yao Hong's path.
Yao Tianqing and Madam Yao had already gone to the adjacent room to watch Yao Bo interrogating Wang Jiayi's personal maid. They didn't notice Shu Yu's return.
Yao An and Yao Hong felt uneasy under Shu Yu's watchful gaze, while Wang Jiayi's entourage, including Cai'er and Fung Mama, were also watching them closely.
Kang Shi snorted coldly and told Zhao Xi, "Doctor Zhao, could you please take a look at Ah Yu? She ate something unclean earlier, and I don't know if she's okay."
Shu Yu was, of course, perfectly fine. Ying Xi had already explained everything when she came to find him earlier.
However, in front of everyone, he needed to put on a show.
Zhao Xi examined her while whispering, "Why did you stay outside and get involved in this? Luckily, Ah Yun didn't come back last night, or else he would have rushed over and chopped that Yao guy. But don't worry, I'll settle the score for you later."
After all, she was his little sister-in-law.
Shu Yu appeared surprised and asked, "He didn't come back?"
"No, he sent someone to pass on the message that he would be out of the city for a while, probably won't be back until tomorrow," Zhao Xi replied.
Satisfied with the answer, Shu Yu stood up and asked him to check Kang Shi as well.
Although she had already confirmed during the day that Kang Shi was fine, she wanted to be sure that there were no complications after the events of the night.
Thankfully, Kang Shi and her baby were both healthy, and Shu Yu felt relieved.
She then pointed to the drug package on the table and asked Zhao Xi to confirm its contents.
While Zhao Xi was inspecting the package, Yao Bo had finished questioning Wang Jiayi.
Yao Tianqing and Madam Yao walked out first, wearing ashamed expressions as they looked at Shu Yu.
Madam Yao came forward and held Shu Yu's hand, saying, "It's my fault for not managing the backyard properly. I kindly let you stay here, but it ended up causing trouble for you, almost putting you in danger..."
As she spoke, her eyes turned red as she glared at Yao An.
Yao An's expression changed. He knew that Wang Jiayi's maid couldn't withstand the pressure and must have confessed about the source of the drugs. Furthermore, she might have revealed even more, exposing everything they knew.
His face darkened, and he was about to say something when Yao Tianqing stepped forward and slapped him hard.
"Ah..." Yao Hong, who was standing nearby, screamed and took two steps back, covering her mouth.
"Beast!" Yao Tianqing was trembling with anger.
