Meng Xiyang knelt before Prince Wen, crying like pear blossoms in the rain, "Princely Heir, even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare harm the Princess Consort. I've never heard of 'Little Child's Worry.' This clay figure was bought by a maid from a clay figurine shop on South City Street. I thought of the impending birth of the Princess Consort and kept this object to pray for the safe delivery of the Princely Heir."
The maid who had bought the clay figurine had "committed suicide out of fear for her crimes" on the day of the incident, and Prince Wen couldn't find out anything else. Ultimately, remembering their past affection, he didn't pursue the matter further and only confined her to the mansion.
As for Pei Yunshu's poisoning, this matter hadn't been publicized, and even Zhao Ning Manor was unaware. It involved the reputation of the Prince's Mansion, and Mu Sheng protecting Meng Xiyang was essentially protecting himself.
