Lin Fuying and Aunt Li were both human beings. Seeing Prime Minister Lin's expression at this time, they knew that something unexpected must have happened to them.

The two of them exchanged glances, and their attitude towards Prime Minister Lin naturally became cautious.

"What's bothering you, sir? Although I can't help you, I hope you won't worry too much and take care of yourself."

Aunt Li always lowered her posture like this in front of Prime Minister Lin.

It has to be said that Lin Fuying learned her tricks to the fullest.

"Let me ask you, did Yu Niang's miscarriage have anything to do with you?"

Prime Minister Lin ignored Lin Fuying's presence and asked directly.

Prime Minister Lin was upset for a long time when he lost that child.

But it was so unexpected at that time that no one thought about it deeply, and he even blamed the Prime Minister's wife for a long time.

Moreover, because of that miscarriage, the Prime Minister's wife's body was damaged and she would never be able to get pregnant again.

Prime Minister Lin was still a traditional person at heart, so he naturally hoped to have a son to carry on the family line. From then on, he gradually alienated Mrs. Prime Minister and doted on Aunt Li even more.

"Master, are you saying that my wife had a miscarriage? How could it be related to me?"

The expression on Aunt Li's face did not change at all, but instead became more innocent.

"Didn't the doctor say that back then, my wife was too sad and overworked after the old lady passed away, so something happened to the child."

She was confident that she had done it secretly enough. After so many years, even if Prime Minister Lin heard some rumors from somewhere, there should be no evidence left.

"How could it be related to my concubine?"

Aunt Li has always done things in a flawless manner, and now she is even less likely to throw herself into disarray just because of a question.

She looked at Prime Minister Lin's expression, trying to find some clues.

What happened back then, she did it secretly and ended it well, so no one should be able to find out.

Besides, even the Prime Minister's wife herself didn't think about the fact that someone was secretly doing this, let alone that she had completely lost her fertility because she was framed.

She has always concealed these things very well, and has dealt with everything that needs to be dealt with, so no suspicion can be raised on her.

"But the maids who served Yu Niang all said that you gave her money to add ingredients that complement each other in the kitchen. Is this true?"

"Master, this, this is clearly a slander against me!"

Aunt Li's thoughts moved quickly, and she noticed the hesitation in Prime Minister Lin's words, and soon began to defend herself.

"I don't understand medicine, how can I understand how food can help and restrain each other?"

Besides, she did give instructions to the little maid, but she didn't go too far. She was just targeting the child in the Prime Minister's wife's belly, and she didn't want her life.

Even Prime Minister Lin didn't know that her family had been practicing medicine in the village for generations, and many folk remedies had been passed down.

But when her father's generation came to a standstill, she eventually had to sell herself into the Lin family.

But she also learned a lot from her grandfather, including the knowledge of women during childbirth.

Otherwise, she would not have found out that the Prime Minister's wife was pregnant and secretly aborted the baby.

And all these years, Prime Minister Lin has been doing nothing in his backyard, all because she was doing it secretly.

Maybe it was because she had done too many things that were harmful to her, and she didn't have a child until now.

"But the Liu family has asked people to find out what happened back then. They also said that if it weren't for you, Yu Niang's baby would have been born safely!" Over the years, Prime Minister Lin really wanted a son.

But if the prime minister's wife hadn't been unable to give birth, he would never have placed his hopes on the aunts in the backyard.

After all, Liu Yu is his legitimate wife.

"Master, I am really unjust! I have always respected my wife, how could I do such a thing in secret?"

Aunt Li now knows very well that no matter what, she cannot admit what she has done.

If Prime Minister Lin knew about this, would she still have a way to survive?

"Yes, father, I have always been very respectful to my mother and never made a mistake. How could she do such a thing?"

Lin Fuying didn't know much about this adult past.

But based on her understanding of Aunt Li, she was most likely the one to do this.

When she was still young, Aunt Li had already taught her many dirty tricks of the queen's house through words and deeds.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to deal with Chu Nanli so easily.

"Then how do you explain this?"

Prime Minister Lin is not so easily dealt with by Aunt Li now.

After all, the evidence sent by the Liu family was absolutely certain, and there was no room for Aunt Li to deny it.

Under Prime Minister Lin's repeated questioning, Aunt Li still showed some flaws no matter how well she hid it.

What was even more unacceptable to Prime Minister Lin was that the Liu family actually used this matter as a threat to make Liu Yu reconcile with him!

He is already quite old. If the reconciliation is successful, wouldn't he be laughed at?

"The Liu family has already said that I must give them an explanation!"

Prime Minister Lin frowned and stared at Aunt Li, "Have you ever done these things?"

You know, Aunt Li was just a concubine at the beginning.

According to the law, if a concubine secretly plots to kill the mistress, she will be sentenced to death regardless of whether she succeeds or not!

Of course Aunt Li couldn't admit it, so she could only insist that she had not done any of these things.

If she hadn't been afraid that Prime Minister Lin would become suspicious, she would have even wanted to tell Prime Minister Lin directly that all this must have been framed by the Prime Minister's wife in order to take away the child.

But she didn't want to think about it. If it was really a frame-up, she wouldn't mention Heli.

Prime Minister Lin did not get the exact result from Aunt Li, so naturally it was impossible to directly send Aunt Li to the government as the Liu family said.

No matter what, Aunt Li is still his son's biological mother at this time.

How could he tolerate such a big stain on the son he regarded as his inheritance?

Seeing Prime Minister Lin turn around and leave, Aunt Li quickly winked and signaled Lin Fuying to follow him quickly.

Lin Fuying saw Prime Minister Lin's reaction just now. She was still thinking about the position of the eldest lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and of course she would not disappoint Prime Minister Lin and their mother and daughter.

"Father, you are so good, how could your mother propose a divorce?"

Facing this daughter whom he always loved, Prime Minister Lin's attitude became much better.

His expression softened slightly: "How do I know what she is thinking!"
