Soon, the two maids who had passed on the messages and the kitchen staff involved in procurement were brought before Shangguan Xuanyi and Jingrui by Yang Liu.
As for Xiao'er, she was ordered by Shangguan Xuanyi to lie in bed and not to interfere with anything. If she dared to get out of bed, he would seal her acupoints and immobilize her for the next six months.
Well, Xiao'er admitted that she had failed to protect her child, done something wrong. So naturally she had to accept the punishment. She decided not to argue with him and just complied!
Jingrui originally wanted to carry Zhu Yan back to his own courtyard to rest, but Zhu Yan insisted on hearing firsthand what these servants had to say in order to learn from the experience.
Besides, for them to properly investigate the matter, they could not proceed without her on site.
They could manage the situation by just putting up a screen.
