Yun Jiao saw Liu Lang place a winnowing basket in the courtyard, and walked over to take a look. She couldn’t help but shake her head, "The dosage of this medicine is too much."

Perhaps because he had just spent a patient while picking the red flowers, Liu Lang’s mood had calmed slightly. He asked Yun Jiao, "Sister Jiao Jiao, what do you think should be done about this?"

Yun Jiao waved her hand, "I can’t advise you on this matter. You have to decide for yourself."

Only when a decision is made by oneself, if one regrets it in the future, will they not blame others.

Liu Lang clenched his fists, "I want to take her to see the authorities!"

"This is murder!"

Yun Jiao said calmly, "It doesn’t matter how you handle it, but before you act, you have to fully consider the potential consequences and handle it cleanly and efficiently."

Liu Lang said, "There’s nothing to think about. Such a poisonous woman should be handed over to the government for punishment!"

Yun Jiao said nothing more. Liu Lang first instructed the servant, Shunzi, "Go get some rope."

Shunzi ran to the front yard to get the rope.

Liu Lang then beckoned Zhu Er, who was standing at the door, to come over, "Go call Grandma out. Tell her I need to speak with her."

Zhu Er entered the room, "Grandma, the young master called you outside to speak."

Hui Niang agreed and came out of the room.

She came out to see Liu Lang, Yun Jiao, and Yang Ying standing in the courtyard.

Yun Jiao’s expression was calm and gave nothing away. Yang Ying had a strange smile at the corner of her mouth, while Liu Lang was staring at her intently, his eyes full of anger.

Hui Niang felt a panic in her heart, walked over, and smiled, "Husband, what is this about?"

Liu Lang pointed to the winnowing basket on the ground, "Poisonous woman, look at what you’ve done!"

A large heap of wet red caught Hui Niang’s eyes. She carefully identified it before recognizing what it was.

Hui Niang’s body swayed slightly, but she quickly steadied herself. When she looked up again, her expression was indescribably calm, "What is this? I don’t recognize it."

Liu Lang sneered, "Poisonous woman, dare you pretend!"

"I picked this out one by one from the slop bucket. You put this in Xiao Wan’s soup, causing Xiao Wan to almost lose her life."

Hui Niang’s face changed, "Husband, I am wronged!"

"I only prepared some soup to aid Xiao Wan with milk production. I didn’t know there was an issue with the soup!"

At this moment, Shunzi came over from the front yard with the rope. Liu Lang said coldly, "I’m not interested in hearing your nonsense. You can go talk to the officials yourself!"

He then instructed Shunzi, "Tie her up!"

Shunzi hesitated for a moment but then moved forward.

Hui Niang stepped back a little in fear, "Husband, it really wasn’t me. I’m being wronged!"

Shunzi approached with the rope, hesitant to lay a hand on the mistress, looking at Liu Lang in embarrassment.

Liu Lang could not bring himself to tie Hui Niang up, seeing that Shunzi was having trouble, and noting Zhu Er’s thin arms and legs, he instructed, "Go call your parents and have them help tie up this poisonous woman and take her to the government office."

Zhu Er responded and ran towards the front yard, lifting her skirt as she went.

Seeing that Liu Lang refused to listen to her explanation and was determined to send her to the government office, Hui Niang became flustered.

In her mind, Xiao Wan was merely a tool for bearing a son.

She originally thought that once Xiao Wan gave birth to a son, the Jiang Family would have an heir, and if Xiao Wan were to die soon after, Liu Lang would have no reason to divorce her because of childlessness, nor would he marry a concubine for the same reason.

She would raise the child well, and he would regard her as his real mother. Without the presence of another woman, Liu Lang’s heart would eventually return to her. How blissful and harmonious would the whole family become then!
