Chapter 154: The poisoned soup (2/2)

”Oh, why don't you drink the soup” Lu Yiling nodded at her maid, who brought the bowl of soup over and handed it to her. Lu Yiling said to the heavy Duty Mamas, ”Hold her down!”

The two huge matrons pushed Tian Tian down to her knees, pulled her head back and forced her mouth open. Tian Tian began to struggle heavily as Lu Yiling brought the bowl closer to her lips.

”Mmmm mmm nga,” she said in a muffled tone.

”Don't want to drink the soup, didn't you say it wasn't poisoned. Since you only added some health supplements in there, surely you don't mind drinking this down” she made a drop fall into Tian Tian's open mouth and stepped back. The heavy duty maid let her go and Tian Tian bent to spit out the drop of soup.

”Take your time, there is still a whole bowl full left, ”Lu Yiling said.

”no no no please let me go. Don't... Not anymore!”

Lu Yiling nodded ”Only if you say the truth, did you poison the soul?”

”Yes!”

At this point Su Liya had gotten over her shock and said to Rong Rong, ”search her and find out where she hid the poison, it must still be on her”

Tian Tian pulled back when she heard that, she glanced at Su Liya who placed a hand on Zhu Fengyin's shoulder.

”Yes,” Rong Rong went forward and silently searched through Tian Tian's clothes. The heavy-duty Maid held her hand and kept her in place. Finally, she found the small bottle in Tian Tian's right sleeve and took it out. ”Here it is” she handed the bottle to Madam Lu's lady's maid.

Madam Ly held up the bottle in the light and instructed without looking away from the bottle. ”Send for Physicians Gu”.

”Yes,” a maid said and ran out of the room.

”Keep both this and the soup, physician Gu will check the content,” Madam Lu said handing the bottle to Aunt He.

Zhu Fengyin glanced at the weeping maid and felt sick, 'how could I be so ignorant! Making the same mistakes even in this life. I nearly killed another of my children” she thought bringing her hand to rest on her lower stomach.

Zhu Fengyin balled up her fist and shouted ”Send for steward Lu!”

Everyone turned to look at her with concern. Madam Lu's expression softened as she tried to calm her down. ”Fengyin, don't worry about this. Mother will handle this”.

”I should not let you do this alone, not when I am partly to blame. I failed to properly manage my servants, I apologise” she bowed at Madam Lu.

Su Liya frowned, ”You are not at fault, there is no need to apologise. Tian Tian made this decision herself, there is nothing you could have done to prevent it. I understand why you want to call steward Lu but if I might make a suggestion”.

”Yes, continue” Madam Lu replied.

Su Liya glanced at Tian Tian, ”sent her away and put guards on her. There is no need to question her, you might not get the right answer from her. Instead, she might claim it was someone else, like say me. That is going to be believable since I do have much to benefit from if something happens to the child. Brother-in-law can question her when he gets back and get the right answer. Meanwhile, let her be taken away”.

Tian Tian bit her lip when she heard Su Liya suggest that, She might claim that the entire poisoning was arranged by Su Liya. She nearly laughed out, since that was along the lines of the response. She was prepared to make it, she glanced at Su Liya and smiled.

Madam Lu. Nodded and called in two guards to send the Maid to the prison.
