Zhou Xuan is snitched

The man unable to take the threatening finally buckles and while kneeling tells the truth behind.

Daren, this servant will..will speak the truth. I was just working normally like any day. Young madam for past three months had this servant prepare herbal tea which is good for calming heart and blood circulation.

Today right after breakfast, the personal maid of consort Zhou came to me. She asked me if I had served tea to madam which I hadn't. Then upon learning I had yet to make and send the tea she started to bribe me to put a pill in the tea.

At first in vehemently refused then she started to threaten me. She said if I agree then I will receive lots of money and also in future will be the steward but if I don't agree then consort zhou would have my family killed. Then I will be framed for stealing and killed.

Daren, truly with no way left I was forced to do it. How could I a lowly slave dare take risk knowing consort Zhou is daughter from prime ministers house? Thus I had taken the pill and right infront of her eyes had it dissolved. She was also peeking from behind when I called the maid to take the tea to young madam.

Though bribed but it was more for my life along with my families that I agreed. This is the pouch that has all the money not a penny have I used or dare to send to my family.

Daren, though having hand but the mastermind is not me. Please believe this servant and have mercy for I am the sole bread winner of the family." cries the man.

While the officer had another man from investigating department writing all the details and let him take the mans thumb print. After getting the print the officer remarks "how dare you say that you are innocent? Even though threatened you could have informed the steward or the masters but you did none which means at the end you were lured and blinded by the greed.

You dare ask for mercy after having killed an innocent life. Not to mention your young madam is also on her last breathe. Thus you will be trialed for not one but two murders with all the people involved. Have him restrained immediately."

The guard immediately ties the man while two guards and investigating officer goes to catch the personal maid of Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan seeing the people seemed to have found nothing and just wanted to ask the same common question let her maid go. Unknown that the investigating team has always been great actors not giving the slightest hint or leak till the culprit is caught.

While the smug maid upon reaching the front yard felt like her sky had fallen. The man had been binded, the tea set was next to the officer. She kneeled with sweat on her palms and forehead.

The officer gave her the pressure of silence for about a minute then with dark and threatening voice "don't think that you can scot free, this man has accepted and told us everything. Either you be honest or there are many ways inside our department which can even make a skeleton speak the truth.

Not to forget the severity of crime will also effect your family. If you come honest then I will plead for much lighter punishment and your family will not be touched. I will also protect you till the trial and judgment thus you don't need to fear anyone.

Be honest then you will just remain in prison until the judgement if not you will be taken to punishment department where you will be tortured till you speak truth. Think wisely, want your soft flesh be peeled or be in cell where you will eat two times and sleep in a mat until the judgement."

The maid was trembling all over, she for a moment even imagined her skin being peeled. She cursed her luck if the mama of their mistress had not gone to visit the zhou house then it would have been her who would have been caught.

Being a coward she cried very ugly accepting everything she had done. She also accepted that it was her mistress who was the mastermind and they two were just her puppets.

She also passed the pouch where she had placed the poison which had little dust of the posion. Which was verified to be the same by the physician. After her report was written and the print taken she too was binded like the man.

Finally having all the evidences and testimonies the officer with his group went to catch Zhou Xuan.

Finding all the people on her door she felt her heart tremble but still maintained her calm.

Not to let her act any longer the officer immediately starts "consort Zhou xuan, you are to be taken to justice department immediately. We have all the evidences collected from the people involved in the poisoning of young madam Bai Lan and her infant.

They have also accepted of the fact of you being the mastermind which also matches to the testament of Young madam Bai Lan which I believe has passed away like her unborn child.

You will be trialed and till the judgement day you are going to be imprisoned in the justice department. Please leave with us willingly or we would have to use force.

If you or anyone can prove your innocence then you or they have to present the proof during the trial. Now please" He showed his hand for her to walk.
