Chapter 138: Baiting



Chapter 138: Baiting

Of course Yu Shengsheng knew that she was wronged.

The Su family also knew it.

Therefore, no one ever thought of asking Ru Jian.

Yu Shengsheng never thought that Su Huaiyuan would do this on the day he came back.

Ru Jian's eyes dodged. She was as shocked as Yu Shengsheng.

"Your servant..."

Just as he was about to answer, Su Zhiyi's voice rang out: "Father."

Su Yanshu and Su Dingqin also came with her.

Su Huaiyuan turned to look at them: "You came at the right time. I caught this bitch and it's just right for me to listen to what she has to say."

Su Zhiyi turned to the front and saw clearly that it was Ru Jian. His heart skipped a beat.

"Ru Jian? Is that you?"

When Ru Jian saw her, he lowered his eyes, his lips moved but no sound came out.

Su Yanshu asked in surprise: "Father, what are you doing..."

"Why? As the elder brothers, why don't you find out the truth and seek justice for your two sisters? Why can't your father investigate it?"

Su Huaiyuan looked at Ru Jian coldly: "Tell me, did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Tell me a lie and I'll skin you alive."

Ru Jian's tears rolled down, washing away the powder on her face, and she said with trembling lips: "Yes...I saw it with my own eyes..."

"What arrow did Shengsheng use, what position did he use, and where did he shoot? You are not an ordinary servant, you are a guard who knows what I mean, tell me everything!"

Su Huaiyuan is not someone who can be fooled so easily. It is impossible for Ru Jian to get away with it.

Su Zhiyi put her hands on her knees, her eyes were red, and she bit her lips, looking so pitiful.

Su Yanshu whispered, "Father, it's all over. This is a pain that Zhiyi can't heal. Why do you have to bring it up again?"

"Asshole," Su Huaiyuan yelled, "What do you mean by it's over? Shengsheng is carrying the stigma of hurting her sisters, and she will never be able to clear the name of her crime. Her arm, you said it's over?"

"If it was you who had your hand cut off, would you be able to get by?"

Su Yanshu was speechless.

Su Dingqin gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Father, if you blame me for breaking Shengsheng's hand, then break mine now. I will return your arm to you. Is that okay?"

"Brother!" Su Yanshu couldn't help but shout - this was simply adding fuel to the fire.

Su Huaiyuan laughed briefly: "Oh, okay, arm for arm, do you think I don't dare?"

He picked up a wooden stick and walked forward. Su Dingqin opened his eyes slightly, not expecting that he would really take action.

"Stop!" Madam Su ran over and stood in front of Su Dingqin. "If you want to hit my son, hit me first."

After that, he glared at Yu Shengsheng again: "Because of what happened a year ago, you are making a fuss and making the whole family restless, right?"

Yu Shengsheng narrowed her eyes slightly: "Madam, it's not me who has disturbed the whole family."

Madam Su wanted to say more, but Su Huaiyuan said angrily, "That's enough. Is this how you teach your children? You can't tell right from wrong, and you don't repent when you're wrong."

He kicked Ru Jian and said, "Tell me, did you see it?"

Ru Jian immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, glanced at Su Zhiyi, and then looked back.

Yu Shengsheng saw it clearly, and thought: "Rujian, do you not want to say it, or do you dare not say it?"

Ru Jian was startled: "No... there's nothing to be afraid of. I did see that it was you..."

"Did you hear that?" Madam Su said sharply, "Su Huaiyuan, this has nothing to do with my son. If you want to show off, do it to your soldiers. This is the mansion, not the military camp."

"Come with me!" Mrs. Su called the three siblings and turned to leave.

Su Huaiyuan ordered, "Come here, take this slave girl to the firewood room in the backyard."

"yes."

Madam Su snorted, ignored him, and walked away.

Su Huaiyuan was still angry and looked back at Yu Shengsheng: "Shengsheng, don't worry, your father will seek justice for you."

He turned around and left. The yard, which had been noisy just now, became quiet again.

Yu Shengsheng suppressed her pounding heart and recalled the eye contact between Ru Jian and Su Zhiyi.

Could it be that between them...

"Miss, please go back to your room," Nanny Zhou said softly.

Yu Shengsheng nodded slightly. Jin Baobao ran in from outside and was stopped by her.

"Leopard, do me a favor."

Su Huaiyuan turned to Ruan Jing's yard, where Ruan Jing was fiddling with a prescription under the corridor.

"What are you busy with?"

"Brother Su, you're here," Ruan Jing said with a smile, "I'm looking at the prescription. I took a look at Shengsheng's arm and was thinking about making a good ointment for her that wouldn't hurt."

"Have you seen it? Can it be cured?" Su Huaiyuan was slightly pleased, "Just tell me what herbs you need, and I'll go get them."

"Okay," Ruan Jing saw a piece of paper sticking out of his sleeve, "What is that?"

Su Huaiyuan took out the small painting and unfolded it to show her: "This was painted by Shengsheng."

Ruan Jing wiped her hands, took the small painting and looked at it carefully, her eyes lit up: "Is this painted by Shengsheng? This painting... is not ordinary."

"Of course. Shengsheng is very skillful, so she can draw well."

Ruan Jing smiled meaningfully: "I said this is good, not what you said. You think it looks good, but what I said is..."

"What is it?" Su Huaiyuan wondered.

Ruan Jing smiled faintly but said nothing, secretly surprised in her heart, this painting, although just a small one, was a work that showed real skill, it was a painting of master level.

Moreover, the style of painting...seems familiar.

But, how could Yu Shengsheng, a little girl, do that?

At dusk, Jin Baobao came back with a medicine bag.

"Miss, I've bought the medicine. Please take a look."

Yu Shengsheng opened it and saw that it was exactly the same. She handed it to Madam Zhou and said, "Go and boil the medicine quickly."

The smell of medicine spread silently until it cooled down, then gradually dissipated and the night deepened.

A shadow holding a medicine jar walked out of the yard and headed straight for the woodshed in the backyard.

Not long after he left, the wheelchair moved slightly in the shadow behind the tree, and a sinister smile appeared on Su Zhiyi's face.

She looked down at the prescription in her hand, which she had bought from a drugstore at a high price. According to the doctor at the drugstore, this medicine had excellent compatibility and was a medicine that could detoxify most poisons.

She really underestimated Yu Shengsheng. She could actually guess that Ru Jian didn't dare to say more because he was poisoned.

What a pity.

That was no ordinary poison. It was something she seized from the enemy while fighting at the border.

There is no antidote.

If you force yourself to drink any antidote, even if it may make you feel better temporarily, it will eventually accelerate the action of the poison and you will die within a few hours.

Tonight, Yu Shengsheng is going to become a murderer.

The person killed was Ru Jian again. Now, Su Huaiyuan will have nothing to say. Everyone will know that Yu Shengsheng poisoned Ru Jian to cover up the crime of harming her sisters.

The sins committed a year ago and tonight are both set in stone and cannot be argued with.

Su Zhiyi went to the woodshed calmly to meet Ru Jian.

When she arrived, Ru Jian was wiping his mouth, and there was a medicine bowl faintly visible in the pile of firewood next to him.

Ru Jian was startled and forced a smile.

"Miss, why are you here?"

Su Zhiyi said calmly, "I came to see you. After all, we are master and servant. You are leaving tonight, so I will send you off for the last time."
