“I drugged her and poisoned her,” Song Yin shouted in the bedroom.

Meng Yu held her forehead helplessly. “Seal her mouth,” she instructed.

A servant quickly stuffed a sponge into Song Yin’s mouth. Although uncomfortable, it was the most effective method to silence her. Song Yin could no longer utter a word.

In the past two days, Meng Yu had tried every trick in the book. She had consulted numerous renowned doctors, but the final diagnosis was that Song Yin wasn’t physically ill. Some doctors even suggested that she visit the psychiatric department, but Meng Yu promptly dismissed them.

She knew her daughter’s personality well and understood that a sudden mental issue was out of the question. It was highly likely that this was the result of drug manipulation, most likely orchestrated by Song Fan.

However, the execution of this plot had been so meticulous that there was no room to prove that Song Fan was behind it. Meng Yu couldn’t openly express her suspicions without tarnishing her image as a loving stepmother.

Song Yin’s condition was deteriorating rapidly. She couldn’t even eat anymore, and they had to resort to forced feeding.

Despite this, letting her out of confinement was not an option because Song Yin would inevitably utter inadvisable words if given the chance, with potentially dire consequences.

Meng Yu had tried tranquilizers to calm her, but long-term use was detrimental to her health.

Although she didn’t have much of a sense of family blood ties, Song Yin was her biological daughter, and Song Yin marrying into a wealthy family was in her best interest. Meng Yu couldn’t afford to give up unless it became an absolute necessity.

Meng Yu finally managed to stabilize the situation and sought out a trusted servant. She asked, “Tell me in detail what has happened in recent times.”

This servant was one of the most inconspicuous in the household, often overlooked due to her slow work pace. However, she was a spy Meng Yu had secretly placed in the house.

The servant provided a detailed account of recent events, revealing that Song Yin had concealed many things.

If all these matters were resolved, it would be fine, but they only exposed Song Yin’s foolishness.

Meng Yu began to reconsider Song Yin’s value, as her foolishness posed a threat to her plans.

However, she had invested too much effort in Song Yin, and it took considerable time to establish her relationship with Fu Nian. Starting over would consume even more time.

“The Miss has been targeting the Eldest Miss recently, and the young masters have already noticed this matter. They are not as affectionate toward the Miss as before. Young Master Fu barely pays any attention to Miss. Even if she initiates conversation, he rarely responds,” the servant said.

Meng Yu didn’t care initially, but the latter part of the statement made her expression turn serious. “Has Fu Nian fallen for someone else?”

The servant shook her head. “Young Master Fu Nian has never been fond of the

Miss from the beginning.”

This servant had been with Meng Yu for many years and was unafraid to speak directly.

Only then did Meng Yu realize that Song Yin had been deceiving her. She hadn’t been with Fu Nian at all, and she had squandered so much time.

With her position in the Song family now under threat, Meng Yu needed to secure strong support. And son-in-law represented that support, and she couldn’t afford to be hindered by Song Yin any longer.

Upon recognizing this, Meng Yu picked up the phone and dialed a number. She spoke gently, “Xiao Xia, it’s Aunt Meng Yu. Summer vacation is approaching. How about coming to visit Aunt Meng Yu?”

At this moment, Song Yin was still unaware that her mother had given up on her. She was struggling drowsily, trying to sit up, with thoughts of wanting Song Fan to die.

While in the laboratory, Song Fan realized that the effects of the perfume powder were wearing off and Song Yin would likely wake up soon. She needed her brothers to assist in their plan.

“I’ve finished reading it. It’s time for you to tell me the results,” Song Fan said to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen had someone bring the report over and said, “It’s about the potion’s ingredients. The rest is supplementary, but the most critical component is something called Winter Blood Grass.”

Song Fan smiled. “So it’s this thing. No wonder the effects are so potent. I spent years studying it before finally solving it.”

“Is this herb quite extraordinary?” Song Kai inquired.

“It’s a magical herb that grows in the desert,” Song Fan explained. “With just a bit of water, it can survive for many years. It appears like withered grass, so initially, no one suspected its medicinal properties. However, it can bewilder people’s minds. It’s challenging to find, and it took a lot of effort to locate it..”
