As the steward turned to leave, Yao An and Yao Hong wanted to reach out and stop him.
However, Wang Jiayi was clearly afraid and immediately raised her head, whispering, "Don't report it to the authorities. I'll tell the truth."
"Go on," Madam Yao said, her anger evident.
Wang Jiayi looked up, glancing at Yao Bo with a pitiful expression, attempting to evoke sympathy with her feigned vulnerability.
But the man in front of her showed no emotion, and there was even a hint of disgust in his gaze.
Initially, Yao Bo was unaware of Wang Jiayi's intentions. It was only after Shu Yu informed him that he realized what was going on.
Following Shu Yu's plan, he first woke up Kang Shi, who was still asleep, to prepare her for the upcoming disturbance.
Despite their planning, Yao Bo couldn't help but feel angry when he heard that Wang Jiayi was just outside their living quarters.
Fortunately, the couple trusted each other, and they proceeded according to the plan they had discussed.
Not long after Yao Bo accompanied Kang Shi out, he returned and caught Wang Jiayi secretly entering his room, trying to drug the tea.
Kang Shi was the one who drank more of that tea, especially after becoming pregnant, she often felt thirsty.
If someone was going to drink the tea, it was most likely her.
Being pregnant, Kang Shi couldn't take any random medicine, let alone one with such harmful substances.
Thinking about this, Yao Bo couldn't help but see Wang Jiayi as someone with a sinister and ruthless nature. How could he feel any pity for her?
Wang Jiayi's attempt to act pitiful was futile. Madam Yao was already urging her, "Speak up!"
Shu Yu added, "I advise you to tell the truth. If there's anything suspicious or unreasonable in your story, we'll have no choice but to hand you over to the authorities. If we can't get the truth out of you, they surely can through other means."
Wang Jiayi raised her head resentfully and glared at Shu Yu.
She had been pleading and crying just a moment ago, genuinely trying to find a convincing excuse to get out of this situation.
But now, after Shu Yu's words, she couldn't afford to hold any illusions.
Taking a deep breath, she lowered her head and began to speak, "Madam, I was led astray by my emotions and acted impulsively. When I first saw Young Master Yao Bo, I... I admired him."
As these words came out, everyone present, except Shu Yu, Kang Shi, and Yao Bo, were stunned in place.
Especially Yao An and Yao Hong, they looked at her as if she were a stranger.
After a moment, Yao Hong screamed, "Jiayi, what are you saying? Weren't you interested in my brother? Since when did you start liking our cousin, Yao Bo?"
Wang Jiayi still kept her head down and spoke softly, "In the past, I did think I liked my cousin, and he treated me well. I thought that I should marry my cousin to repay his kindness. However, after coming to the capital and seeing Young Master Yao Bo, I realized what true admiration is. I also understood that what I felt for my cousin was merely sibling affection."
Shu Yu was about to burst into laughter; she was so familiar with this kind of white lotus internal monologue.
She couldn't help but glance at the backup plan, Yao An.
Yao An's face turned red, as he had always believed that Wang Jiayi belonged to him. He had even done more extreme things before, and Wang Jiayi had never abandoned him.
So he never worried that she might fall for someone else.
Who would have thought...
