After Qi Huai signed his name, Xie Pinggang did not bother with him anymore. He ordered his men to throw him out without mercy.
Bao Jin, on the other hand, was being punished severely.
As for his family members, although they were not being punished, they still had to be investigated. After all, he might have told his parents and wives about this.
Bao Jin did not keep his mouth shut at all. He confessed everything before he was even punished!
"First Young Lady! A few days ago, First Young Lady called me over. S-She said that the Qi family's tea merchant had brought many good things from other places. She asked me to take a look and buy some home. Then... she specially mentioned the silver ring powder. She asked me to think of a way to buy it more secretly... In the past, I would always go to that merchant to buy some new tea and beauty-enhancing medicinal herbs, so... at that time, I didn't think too much about it!"
