With Rong Hou's defection, things became much easier on Shu Yu's side; the original plans could be temporarily shelved.
The first benefit was that the food was no longer drugged.
Such a small task was not difficult for Rong Hou, as he only needed to stealthily swap out the drugs, and no one else would notice anything amiss.
At the same time, Shu Yu also informed Lord Cheng about Ms. Wang being an insider. She had no evidence and did not mention that the information came from Rong Hou. Whether he believed it or not was up to Lord Cheng.
When Lord Cheng first heard of it, he was utterly shocked and, of course, did not believe it.
His household was relatively simple, containing only three concubines aside from his legitimate wife. One of them had died due to childbirth complications over a decade ago, while Ms. Wang, although childless, had been by his side for many years.
Especially when the Cheng Family encountered trouble, Ms. Wang stood by him, nearly taking a stab for him.
