The young lady from a 21st-century wine-making family accidentally died after drinking her own wine and transmigrated into the body of a foolish wife in ancient times.
Upon waking, she unexpe...
After the county magistrate clearly recounted the events, he posed these questions to Su Ruyi.
When Su Ruyi heard that Luo Yunhe had already made preparations, he clenched his fist tightly in anger, his eyes filled with rage, but he quickly composed himself.
"My lord, what are you talking about? What does this have to do with me? Even if he is a distant relative of mine, the nine in this picture have nothing to do with me. I didn't place it."
All I did was introduce him to our family to work as a housekeeper, so he could make a living. Was that wrong?
Besides, with so many people around that night, who knows who poisoned us and tried to harm the Wang family?
Moreover, this wine does indeed come from the Luo family's winery, so Boss Luo probably wouldn't offend anyone outside, right?
"How can we possibly say that we personally brewed and orchestrated this whole thing?"
Su Ruyi spoke in such a pitiful manner, wiping away tears as she spoke, and she spoke with such genuine emotion.
After hearing Su Ruyi's words, Old Master Wang nodded and then turned his gaze to the county magistrate.
"My lord, I know that this Boss Luo is a royal tribute wine merchant and has a royal warrant. My Wang family has no conflict with Boss Luo, and I believe that Boss Luo would never do anything to harm my Wang family."
Please, Your Honor, investigate this matter thoroughly. Who poisoned us? The culprit must be brought to justice!
"Yes, my wife stays at home all day and never leaves the house. How could she possibly harm anyone? You must be mistaken. You can't even find the reason yourselves, yet you're trying to frame my wife..."
The speaker was a fat man with a thick head and a simple, honest voice. His voice was so silly that it made people shake their heads in disbelief.
Su Ruyi nestled obediently in the other person's arms, wiping away tears as if she had suffered a great injustice.
“That’s right, sir. Even if it was Boss Luo’s, it was indeed opened temporarily when it was first opened. It wasn’t opened in advance at all. His family can testify to that. If these wines were inspected by you, Boss Luo, and there were no problems, then the problem lies with our full moon banquet…”
Butler Wang's tone changed 100% quickly.
Upon hearing their testimonies, Luo Yunhe frowned deeply. She had thought she had captured them all, but she hadn't expected the other side to have found this loophole.
And I really have no way to find evidence that they personally poisoned the body, which means they've gotten away with it once again.
Su Ruyi hid in the fat man's arms, secretly raised her eyes, and looked triumphantly at Luo Yunhe opposite her.
She had anticipated that if this plan failed, she would come up with a second one. In any case, this damned bitch couldn't find any evidence to prove that they were responsible for the poisoning; she could only prove that she hadn't poisoned anyone.
After listening to their lecture, the county magistrate turned his gaze to Luo Yunhe, as if to see if he had anything to say.
Even the common people outside were gritting their teeth. The answer was obvious, but there was no evidence at all, which made them anxious and frustrated.
Luo Yunhe also received the magistrate's gaze. He was just about to shake his head when a voice suddenly rang out.
"Who said we have no evidence?" a clear voice rang out. The crowd spun around quickly, and upon seeing the person being held captive, they swiftly made way.
His bright red clothes were very flamboyant, and he was carrying a person who was tied up.
Behind Wu Hua, there was another person who was clearly older.
The sudden appearance of these people seemed to give everyone hope once again. Even Butler Wang looked outside, and his face turned pale when he saw the people who had been brought over.
When Su Ruyi saw the person who came, his face immediately turned pale. His arrogant and domineering demeanor from just now had vanished without a trace.
"This humble subject greets Your Excellency!"
"Get up!" The magistrate looked at her. "This woman, the witness you mentioned..."
"My lord, this man is the evidence. He is a servant in the Prince's mansion. His family is not well-off. He has always worked for the Prince's mansion. However, not long ago, his family unexpectedly acquired a considerable amount of money."
One day, he was bragging outside, mentioning how much money his family had received. So I sent someone to investigate secretly, and sure enough, the investigation revealed that he was the Wang family's steward. From him, I learned that the poisoning of the wine at their baby's full-moon celebration was the work of the steward and this young master Wang's concubine!
Just in case, I also asked the owner of the shop where they bought the poison to come over. This old gentleman was the owner of that pharmacy. He remembered very clearly that the person who came to buy the poison was the maidservant of Young Master Wang.
Because that particular poison was very rare, and few people wanted to buy it—most people wouldn't buy such things—this old gentleman remembered it so clearly. If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself!
After Zheng Hongying briefly explained the situation, her gaze fell on Butler Wang and Su Ruyi.
The Wang family had initially believed Su Ruyi, after all, she had stayed indoors for the past two years and wouldn't have offended anyone; she seemed like a model of virtue. But now, after hearing Zheng Hongying's words and seeing the witness he brought, they stared at Su Ruyi in astonishment.
"I...I didn't! They must have framed An Hai. They must have bribed their people. How could I do such a thing?" Su Ruyi panicked.
"Thump!" The gavel slammed down on the table, stopping Su Ruyi's panicked expression, and then turned its gaze to the witness in front of it.
Now, with a look of utter panic, the county magistrate's gavel made him so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, recounting the whole story in detail.
Everyone who heard their confessions was shocked, and even the locals pointed and whispered about the scene.
Grandpa Wang looked at Su Ruyi in horror. He never expected that his seemingly gentle and refined daughter-in-law would be so vicious.
Even Butler Wang was at a loss for words at this moment, and could only kneel there silently, trembling all over.
