The old princess slammed the table. “This is outrageous! If that’s the case, why didn’t you say it out loud? Why did you stop us from drinking the soup in secret?”
pA n,dan0ve1.c0m Zheng s.h.i.+ revealed a worried expression. “Mother, Little Jiu has just returned. I was afraid of scaring her. So I planned to capture Xi Hua in secret and interrogate her, so as to avoid alerting the snake and letting the mastermind get away scot-free.”
Yun chujiu revealed an incredulous expression. “Aunt, is what you said true? Is this bowl of soup really poisonous? Or was it used by Xi Hua?”
Zheng s.h.i.+ nodded. “This is all aunt’s fault. Xi Hua was sent by Aunt to you. I didn’t expect that lowly servant to be so audacious as to poison you.”
Yun chujiu revealed an injured expression and kept shaking her head. “I don’t believe it! Xi Hua usually does her best for me. How could she poison me? Someone must have wronged her.”
“Little Jiu, first aunt’s maid, Hong Yuan, saw it with her own eyes. If you don’t believe it, first aunt will get someone to call Hong Yuan and Xi Hua over. We will know after the trial.”
Zheng s.h.i.+ despised her in her heart. This B * Tch was really stupid. She actually believed that B * Tch Xi Hua at this point in time.
Yun Chujiu sat on the chair, looking as if she had suffered a great blow, then, she said, “Alright, then we’ll do as Aunt Said and call them all over. I want to ask Xi Hua why she wanted to harm me when I’ve treated her so well.”
The old imperial consort nodded at Zheng s.h.i.+, indicating that they should do as Yun Chujiu said.
The old imperial consort patted Hei Xinjiu’s hand. “Little Jiu, Ai, you’re not young anymore. There are some matters in the rear residence that you should learn from. This time, it’s just a lesson to remember.”
The old imperial consort felt a little bitter in her heart. Little Jiu’s heart was pure and kind. She had probably never seen such shady and private matters in the rear residence. It was inevitable that she could not accept it for the time being.
However, who was the one who instructed Xi Hua? Third, fourth, or fifth?
The old imperial consort did not suspect that it was Zheng s.h.i.+. After all, Zheng s.h.i.+ took the initiative to say that there was poison in the soup. This was also where Zheng s.h.i.+ was proud of herself.
When the time came, she would hint xi hua to bite the he s.h.i.+ of the third wife. Although she did not poison Yun chujiu this time, she would at least cause trouble for the He s.h.i.+. This would prevent that B * tch from thinking that her family was the Prince of Ping’s residence and not putting her in her eyes.
Very soon, Xi Hua and Hong Yuan were brought over.
Yun Chujiu’s voice trembled as she said, “Xi Hua, I have always been kind to you. Why did you poison the Soup? Who exactly instructed you?”
Xi Hua looked confused and innocent, and then she said with a sobbing tone, “Ninth miss, you, you, how could I poison you? This is a great injustice!”
Zheng s.h.i.+ snorted, “Hong Yuan, tell me what happened.”
The maid called Hong Yuan said angrily, “Ninth miss, I saw it with my own eyes. This afternoon, Xi Hua was behind a rockery and sprinkled the medicinal powder into the soup.”
“Really? You really saw it with your own eyes? How did you happen to see her poisoning?”Yun chujiu clearly did not believe that Xi Hua would poison her.
Hong Yuan said calmly, “Ninth miss, I went to the Princess Consort’s lunch in the afternoon, so I happened to see the scene of Xi hua poisoning her.”
Yun chujiu obviously believed Hong Yuan’s words this time. She sat on the chair dejectedly and threw herself into the old princess Consort’s arms, crying, “Grandmother, I’m so sad. I didn’t expect that Xi Hua would poison me when I was so good to her.”
