As Zhang Mama was about to continue explaining, Shu Yu interrupted her, "Aunt Yao, the tea in my room was indeed not brought by her. At first, there was a pot of tea, but when we returned to the room, a servant girl came with another pot of hot tea, saying that the original one had turned cold and needed to be replaced."
Zhang Mama hurriedly explained, "How could that be? Fung Mama prepared the tea after hearing that Miss had finished the bird's nest porridge. The tea was hot and didn't need to be replaced."
When these words were said, everyone present knew that there was a problem.
Someone had switched the tea, intending to harm Shu Yu.
Yao Tianqin and Madam Yao's faces turned extremely unsightly. Shu Yu was their guest, and she had come from afar to stay at their house for the night, yet something like this happened.
Fortunately, Shu Yu had the antidote given by Doctor Zhao; otherwise, things could have turned out differently.
Madam Yao was furious, and she stood up and said, "Bo'er's, summon all the servants in the mansion here. Let Ah Yu identify the culprit. I want to see who dares to make a move against her."
But then she realized that Yao Bo was not here, and she was taken aback, "Where's Bo'er?"
It was really unbelievable. Shu Yu was in such a big trouble, and he had disappeared without a trace.
Kang Shi felt a little embarrassed and said, "Brother Bo knew that A Yu was fine, but he felt that the wind was strong. We rushed out, and he went back to get a cloak for me."
Saying this, she felt a little strange, "He has been back for a while. According to the time, he should have returned by now."
Madam Yao furrowed her brows. There was no time to worry about him now, so she sent Fung Mama to find him.
The number of servants in the Yao family was not large, and by now, more than half of them had already gathered here due to the commotion. The rest were quickly called in.
Shu Yu looked at each one of them and shook her head, frowning, "It's not among them."
Lady Yao was surprised, "Not among them? But all the servants in the mansion are here."
Kang Shi whispered, "None of the servants brought by Yao Hong and her cousin are here."
With this remark, Yao Hong jumped up as if she had been stepped on her tail, "What do you mean, sister-in-law? Do you suspect that we want to harm Lady Shu Yu?"
Although she said that, her reaction was too exaggerated.
Madam Yao couldn't help but squint her eyes, and Yao An quickly pulled Yao Hong, explaining to Lady Yao, "Aunt, don't be angry. My sister has been a bit irritable after a sleepless night. I'll gather the servants brought by Yao Hong's and cousin and let Lady Shu Yu identify them."
Madam Yao didn't hold back and nodded.
Yao An turned around to call the people, but his face darkened.
He didn't expect Shu Yu still had an antidote in her hands, ruining his plan.
Thankfully, that servant girl was usually inconspicuous. With a little cleaning up, it shouldn't be a big problem.
However, just then, Cai'er rushed over in a panic, "Master, Madam, Young Lady, something... something happened."
"What happened?" Madam Yao felt her heart sink, and a bad premonition struck her.
Cai'er took a deep breath and said, "Someone tampered with the tea in Young Master's room, and he... he caught them red-handed."
