Lady Zhu and Lady Chen managed to eat a little, and Qian Wanxiu only had a few bites herself before losing her appetite.
A group of people, carrying the body of Pei Wenjie and a complaint, went to the Government Office to report the incident.
Upon hearing that Pei Zongli's infant son had been smothered to death and that Pei Qin was accused of instructing the wet nurse to do it, Jiang Benxin immediately convened court for questioning.
The wet nurse still denied everything, not only the murder charge but also the accusation of being bribed by Pei Qin, and she cried out her innocence.
