Elder Qi San learned of this news and tapped the table. "Didn’t arrange anyone to go?"
"I did, but Prince Rong stopped them. Half of the capital’s guards are in Prince Rong’s hands; those people don’t dare to disrespect him."
"As expected, Prince Rong has joined forces with the Chu family. Too bad, without Chu Heng, the Chu family isn’t worth much." Elder Qi San sneered contemptuously, "Keep gathering information, make a big fuss about this, and I’ll see how the Chu family handles it."
"Third Master, if it gets big, it’s easy for it to be traced back to us. Now, most of the people nearby know about it. If those kids can’t survive later, those ignorant people will surely blow it up themselves. We can reduce suspicion."
"You’re correct; indeed, we shouldn’t make big moves. Forget it, spare the Chu family this ti. Have our people tighten up the situation and ensure they don’t reveal their identities."
"Yes."
Chu family.
Su i ran back to the residence, directly heading to the main courtyard. Her anxious expression made so of the Chu family’s servants uneasy.
Among them, a maidservant managing watering and doing chores in the outer courtyard noticed Su i’s expression, her eyes flickered, then she stepped forward to speak with a maidservant working alongside her, "Aunt Su i looks hurried, is there another incident?"
"It’s none of our business to care about; we mustn’t discuss it. If the housekeeper finds out, don’t expect to stay at the residence."
"Sorry, elder sister, I implicated you. I didn’t know the rules, it won’t happen again. But the residence is indeed strict."
"Of course it’s strict, but the master’s affairs truly aren’t for us to discuss, just like we don’t like others gossiping about our own matters. Mind our business, work diligently, the lady has always been generous with the servants. Save so silver, and we can buy property and even redeem ourselves, which is impossible in other residences."
"You’re right, elder sister." The maidservant dared not inquire further and simply resolved to be more cautious herself.
anwhile.
After entering the main courtyard, Su i’s anxious expression vanished completely.
"Lady, as expected, the Qi family indeed targeted the school." Su i sincerely felt the lady’s extensive connections and well-inford nature had prepared them in advance for the Qi family’s actions. "The servant girl checked; those children ate fake dicine, not real poison. Those parents have also been controlled and dare not speak indiscriminately."
"However, so other cooperative elders received corresponding compensation according to the lady’s instructions, claiming food poisoning externally."
"Those children have woken up, no big issues, just might have diarrhea for a few days, so the servant girl borrowed this reason to keep the students at the school."
"Once the situation ends, thoroughly investigate today’s suspects, especially parents who rushed to the school first. Warn anyone wishing to harm the Chu family or those bought off, and also vet those children’s conduct. Ensure they don’t dare harbor thoughts of betraying or framing the Chu family." Ye Muyu instructed systematically.
Su i nodded.
However, seeing Ye Muyu’s cold gaze, it was clear the lady was truly angry.
The lady opened the school for charity, yet now having spent silver, she’s frad to the point where they even dare use poisoning thods, wanting to directly destroy the school.
The Qi family has already stepped on the lady’s bottom line.
