With this order, all the servants and maids who entered and left the kitchen within the hour were questioned repeatedly. However, they were still unable to obtain any useful information.

"Mo Bei, you also sneaked out earlier. Aren't you going to the kitchen?"

Mo Nan's eyes were fierce, looking as if he wanted to swallow Mo Beibei alive. Mo Beibei only smiled faintly, "Sister's words are really wronging me, which eye of yours saw me leave?"

"This... I clearly saw it! "

"To the north, if you are dissatisfied, you can tell me why you want to harm the crown prince. What a noble identity the crown prince has, if you were to do this, wouldn't you be falling into the trap of the Mo Residence being unrighteous?! "

With just a few words, Xie Guifang had pushed all the blame onto Mo Beibei. She could tell that Mo Nan wanted to deal with Mo Beibei, but he ended up making a fool out of himself, and actually lured disaster onto Ji Mo Xun. This way, if Mo Beibei wasn't the scapegoat, this matter might not end well.

Finally, Xie Guifang said sincerely, "North, the Crown Prince is a kind-hearted person. If you admit to it like this, I'll definitely ask for the Crown Prince to be lenient!"

"How did the First Lady come to believe that I was the one who did it?" Mo Beibei slightly narrowed her eyes. So what if this was her doing? If Mo Nan didn't have malicious intentions, how could she have changed dishes mixed with Jade Orchid Grass?

"The servants in the kitchen have not been able to find anything from your interrogation. If it wasn't you, would there have been others?"

"Then why not you?" The sudden appearance of a sharp light made Ji Mo Xun astonished, but in just a split-second, Mo Bei retracted his expression, "There are so many people in this room, could it be that the First Madam wants to claim that it's me? "In that case, I would like to question the authenticity of the First Madam's words."

He was actually so sharp-tongued!

Xie Guifang was secretly shocked. She initially wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Mo Beibei as well. This little bitch was as troublesome as her damned mother. Leaving behind was a disaster after all.

"With the crown prince here, I believe he will be able to confirm this. Besides the servants, Bei Bei is probably the most suspicious one." Xie Guifang looked solemn, "Crown Prince, I've been up to no good in North China since I was a kid. I can't help being a bit lawless, but this matter is of great importance. Please investigate."

It was not that Xie Guifang did not know the tricks employed by the palace, but the servants and maids in the kitchens who had some connection with this matter, which one of them had not shed a layer of skin alive? As long as Mo Bei became suspicious, even if she didn't die, she would at least end up half dead. At that time, she would forever lose the right to stay by the crown prince's side.

Mo Bei stubbornly raised his head and just happened to meet the eyes of Yi Mo Xun. For a moment, he felt a tremor in a certain corner of his heart. However, that feeling only lasted for an instant.

"Forget it, it's just a small matter. The imperial physician has already prescribed the medicine for Solitary Peak, so there's no need to pay attention to this matter."

Ji Mo Xun stood up, and stopped by Mo Bei's side. He used a low voice that only two people could hear, "Gu Lao saved you once again."

"I told you, I don't care."

Mo Bei's voice was cold as he silently cursed over and over again for saving his life. But in the end, she was the one who gave the blue grass mixed with the osmanthus cake to Ji Mo Xun. In a sense, she was indeed a murderer.

"Respectfully sending off the crown prince."

Xie Guifang tried her best to keep her voice steady. She did not expect that Yi Mo Xun would give up so easily. However, this was still a good thing for her.

Although he couldn't use this as an excuse to frame Mo Beibei, he couldn't protect Mo Beiya from revealing the truth about this matter. At that time, the one who would be suffering would still be Mo Nan.

That was her painstakingly nurtured daughter, Xie Guifang gritted her teeth. She could not let Mo Nan fall into Mo Bei's hands!

After Ji Mo Xun left, the tense atmosphere in the Mo Residence became a bit more relaxed. Mo Nan's eyes were red, half of it was because of Ji Mo Xun's aura, and the other half because of anger. He never thought that not only did she fail, she was even bitten back by Mo Bei.

It's all Mo Bei's fault!

"Bitch, you actually dared to frame me!"

framing?

Mo Bei bared his teeth, looking especially sinister, "In terms of framing, sister and first wife's methods are more brilliant, I dare not compare myself to them. But elder sister, did you really think that I would be stupid enough to personally do something like changing posts by hand?"

"Who is it!?"

"Maybe I should clean up the people around me. Not everyone is loyal to me."

She knew him too well. She was a very suspicious person, her words would definitely plant a seed of doubt in his heart. She would not easily trust anyone, even if they were loyal to him.

For example, Auntie Song!

Remembering how Auntie Song treated him in his previous life, Mo Bei kindly added, "Auntie Song is getting on in age, so it's inevitable that her legs will be a little clumsy. Elder sister should not be too angry at Auntie Song."

Auntie Song's body suddenly trembled. If Mo Bei didn't remind her, she would have vented all her anger on him.

In reality, Mo Nan was within Auntie Song's expectations. She looked at Auntie Song coldly, as if she was looking at a dead man, "Men, drag Auntie Song out and give her fifty heavy punishments!"

"Eldest Miss, this old servant is innocent!"

Auntie Song's voice gradually faded. After a short while, the sound of a plank hitting the wall could be heard, along with the miserable cries of a woman.

No matter what method Mo Nan used to control Auntie Song, after this event, Aunty Song would no longer be as loyal to Mo Nan as before, and he would no longer be able to use Aunt Song.

The so-called estrangement was only this much.

"Bei Bei, you're tired too. Go back and rest."

Mo Bei didn't want to stay in this place for more than a breath of time, so he immediately left. The moment Mo Bei left, Xie Guifang's face darkened and she slapped him. Mo Nan's face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye. She looked at Xie Guifang in disbelief, because Xie Guifang had never punished her like this, "Mother?"
