Mother Qian dragged her aside and demanded to know if it was Pei Qin, Pei Yuan, Pei Qian, or someone else who'd bribed her.
Suddenly, a sharp pain stabbed at her armpit and ribs. The wet nurse cried out, proclaiming her innocence.
Despite the commotion, Pei Wensheng had still not appeared. Qian Wanxiu silently prayed he had gone out and would not show himself too conspicuously, to prevent drawing the target onto him.
Lady Zhu cursed the poisonous and vicious siblings, Pei Qin and Pei Qian, wishing them a terrible death, urging Pei Zongli to draft a legal complaint accusing Pei Qin of hiring someone to commit murder, "Even if she holds the rank of Third Rank Enjoin, for murder there must be retribution! A prince would still be judged as any commoner if guilty of a crime, and being the mastermind of a murder, she will definitely not escape the charge! Sue her! We must have her jailed and beheaded to avenge my poor grandson!"
