Tears streamed down her face as she wiped her nose, caught in a moment of regret over a wrong choice that had led her to this difficult situation. However, the guarantee from the Wen Family provided her with a glimmer of hope.
At that moment, she placed all her hopes on the young man, gazing at him with eager eyes.
The Young Man felt a bit taken aback; after all, he was just selling medicine, and everything else was none of his concern. Even if the Yang Residence decided to take action, it wouldn’t affect him.
“Alright, you’re done. The servants from the Yang Residence are here!” Yang Bingshan instructed the servants to line up for identification by the Fellow.
Among the crowd, a plump man’s expression changed slightly, especially when the Fellow looked his way.
He quickly lowered his head to avoid making eye contact with the young man.
But could he really escape? How was that possible? The Fellow was the type who didn’t fear trouble.
“Master Yang, you can’t blame me. I’m just an assistant at the pharmacy; it’s not wrong for me to sell medicine to customers, right?”
After receiving a nod of assurance from Yang Bingshan, he staggered forward to face the servants one by one for identification.
Suddenly, he glanced at the figure that wouldn’t raise their head. There was no way to forget that distinctive physique.
He slowly raised his arm and pointed with his index finger toward the crowd.
The plump body visibly trembled, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of where the Fellow was pointing. His legs couldn’t help but shake until the Fellow’s mocking voice rang out.
“Master Yang, it’s him! He bought the Rat Poison.”
This accusation stirred up a storm in the crowd; those who had never done anything wrong were unafraid, but those who had committed misdeeds felt guilty.
“Who are you? I don’t know you! Sir, this assistant is blind; I’ve been serving you for many years! How could I do something like this? It wasn’t me!”
The person being accused was none other than Yang Butler.
The attendant could not tolerate anyone disputing his identification, and he quickly rushed in front of Yang Butler. "Hey! You can't deny it; I remember clearly that it was you who came to buy the medicine."
"I'll tell you, in Biqi Town, anyone I've seen once, I will definitely not forget the next time. Besides, with your short and stout appearance, there isn't another person like you in the whole town. How could I possibly forget?"
He could not stand anyone questioning his memory.
After that, the attendant swaggered over to Yang Bingshan. "I've done what I needed to do; can I leave now?" He then turned around and tried to run.
However, as he reached the door, he was grabbed back by the tall and strong Guard.
"Fellow, why are you running so urgently? Since it doesn't concern you, you naturally need to finish proving what needs to be proven before leaving."
The attendant's mouth twitched involuntarily. Why wouldn't he run? Getting involved with a wealthy family could lead to trouble; if the Yang Family insisted that he was related to the matter, he wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into a river.
How unlucky could he be? It was just a matter of selling some Rat Poison during his shift; who knew it wasn't meant for rats but for people? If he had known, he definitely wouldn't have sold it.
However, standing next to him was a burly man who made him look like a skinny monkey; there was no chance of escape.
At this point, things were becoming clearer. It was evident that Yang Butler was the culprit.
The servants couldn't help but murmur about why this person was being blamed.
Those hiding in the back whispered among themselves, "Why did Yang Butler do this? Auntie Concubine didn't provoke him."
"Exactly! Usually, Auntie Concubine and Yang Butler have a good relationship!"
The two often interacted and could avoid being seen once or twice, but it was impossible for no one to notice every time. It was just that no one dared to boldly speculate in that direction.
After all, cough cough, with Yang Butler's physique being what it is—a round and short stature—none of the maids looked at him twice. Not to mention the arrogant and high-minded Auntie Concubine?
At this moment, the angriest person was naturally Yang Bingshan, the head of the Yang Family.
Disappointment, anger, and resentment flashed in his eyes, and all these emotions made him want to drag Yang Butler out and beat him to death.
They were about the same age and could have grown up together. Later, when he took over the Yang Family's estate, Yang Butler naturally became the steward, helping him manage household affairs.
However, he never expected that the person he trusted the most would betray him like this.
"What do you have to say? Why did you do this?"
The words came out of his mouth with a painful emotion. Wen Family didn't know whether to feel ridiculous or pitiful.
Yang Bingshan could show feelings towards his subordinates, but her years of dedication seemed less valuable than raising a cat or dog, which could at least foster some affection.
Shaking his head and sighing, Wen Family felt worried about his previous judgment.
At this moment, Yang Butler couldn't help but glance at Liang Mei'er. After seeing her look away, he felt disappointed; he had hoped Liang Mei'er would say a few good words on his behalf.
But was that possible? Liang Mei'er wished for Yang Butler to be beaten to death on the spot so that no one would have leverage over her anymore.
The servants busily discussed Yang Butler's actions, but few noticed the interaction between him and Liang Mei'er.
Yang Bingshan was not a fool; after their prolonged eye contact, he naturally sensed something was off. However, he didn't think too deeply about it and only harbored doubts in his heart.
Could this matter be related to Liang Mei'er?
Wen Family noticed the suspicious look on Yang Bingshan's face and silently thought that at least he wasn't too dull this time.
Thus, things were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.
In front of so many subordinates and the pharmacy assistant, Yang Bingshan suddenly felt a loss of face.
"You can leave now. The rest of you go down first, leaving two people behind."
He was unwilling to make this embarrassing matter public.
In the end, only a few involved parties remained in the courtyard. Yang Bingshan crouched down to meet the gaze of the kneeling Yang Butler.
However, Yang Butler knew very well that at this moment he could not reveal Liang Mei'er; she was his only remaining hope. If he disclosed the truth about what happened, neither of them would escape.
Realizing that he couldn't extract the facts right now, Yang Bingshan's expression turned cold: "Take the butler away and lock him up. No one is allowed to visit."
At the moment he was taken away, Yang Butler's gaze lingered on Liang Mei'er for a long time, the intense heat making it impossible for her to ignore.
Although Yang Bingshan managed to disperse the servants in time, many speculations lingered in their hearts.
Some clever individuals connected the dots, realizing that Bird's Nest Porridge had been sent from the Wen Family. Thus, Yang Butler not only intended to harm Liang Mei'er but also aimed to use the Wen Family's influence to capture the two most powerful women in the household.
The Yang Residence fell into silence; with such a significant incident occurring at home, everyone was tight-lipped and dared not speak out despite their suspicions.
Finally, at the moment the Wen Family was leaving, one of them suddenly remarked, "Doesn't the master find this scene familiar?"
