Now, this servant had been one of her former lovers. But seeing him, Mrignaini got angry. She told him to get out of her house, but the servant did not listen to her. So, Mrignaini made a plan. She began to talk sweetly to him and offered him a drink. The servant drank the drink happily but after a while he died. Mrignaini had mixed poison in the drink. The servant never had a chance of survival. The husband came home in the evening. Mrignaini greeted him very lovingly. She somehow managed to keep away her husband from the dead body of the servant. Night fell and everyone went off to sleep. Suddenly, Mrignaini began to cry and wail. She shouted, “Help! My husband has killed my father’s servant.” Hearing the commotion many people gathered there. The King’s soldiers were informed about the murder by her neighbours. They came and arrested Mrignaini’s husband on the murder charge.
