Chapter 80 Fortunately, Miss Cheng is fine
"So, the person died in the Fang family?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at him and asked, "Is he in the government office now? Or in the Fang residence?"
The person who reported the news only said that Tang Tian was in trouble and was arrested.
"Fang Mansion."
Tang Jing pursed his lips and said, "If we go to the government office and the Fang family destroys all the evidence, then Tiantian won't be able to explain herself even if she has mouths all over her body."
"You just said that the person who died was the maid of the second young lady of the Fang family. So, if it wasn't eaten by the maid, did the second young lady Fang eat it?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at Tang Jing and asked.
The carriage slowly started and drove towards the Fang family. Tang Jing was extremely anxious, but he had to listen to Tiantian and pick up Xiao Jiuyue. Suddenly, when he heard Xiao Jiuyue's words, Tang Jing paused and said, "Should I?"
"I don't want shoulds, I want certainty." Xiao Jiuyue was dissatisfied with his vague words. She asked, "Isn't there anyone who witnessed the situation at that time?"
"Xiao Tao." Tang Jing lifted the curtain, and Xiao Tao, who had just followed the carriage driver, immediately walked into the carriage. Hearing Xiao Jiuyue's questions, she immediately told him what happened at that time.
The canned oranges that were a big hit in the candy shop became the favorite of these ladies and young ladies in winter. Originally, the canned oranges were for the second daughter of the Fang family. However, the second daughter of the Fang family was not feeling well, so the canned oranges were given to the maid Xiaozhu. Xiaozhu could not wait to eat them, but as soon as she ate the canned oranges, she fell to the ground and vomited. Not long after, she died.
"Are all the canned oranges in this batch poisonous, or is it only the second lady of the Fang family who has them?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
"The canned food is... newly delivered by the young lady. The other young ladies haven't had time to eat it yet." Xiao Tao frowned and said, "The canned food we brought here shouldn't have been poisoned."
Xiaotao couldn't figure it out at all.
"You deliver the goods without checking them?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at Xiao Tao.
Xiao Tao said excitedly, "We've checked it, and we've even taken samples. But the Fang family is now claiming that this can was sent by Miss, and Miss... can't clarify it."
"Fortunately, the second young master and the others were here. Originally, they wanted to report to the police and have the young lady arrested and taken to the yamen." Xiao Tao still feels scared when she thinks about it now.
"Second Young Master, we've arrived at the Fang Mansion." said the coachman.
"Second Young Master Tang, do you know if anything has happened to the second young lady of the Fang family recently? Or, are there any problems with the other young ladies of the Fang family..." Xiao Jiuyue did not rush to get out of the car, but looked at Tang Jing.
Tang Jing was at a loss. He had nothing to do with Miss Fang, so how could he know what was going on?
"Last year, the second young lady of the Fang family got engaged to Mr. Wang from the county. Is there something wrong with that?" Xiao Tao answered immediately. Her young lady talked about this every day. Many people in the county wanted to marry Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang was young and promising. Maybe he could pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future. It's just that his family is a little poor.
"Who knows." Xiao Jiuyue's eyes flashed slightly, and she stood up and simulated the news in her mind. Tang Tian did as she said and kept a backup sample. The canned oranges were delivered to Fang's house. Through whose hands did the other party's medicine pass? How did it get into the canned oranges?
No, it could be in the bowl.
Xiao Jiuyue thought a lot along the way. Xiao Tao led him into the Fang Mansion. Now the Fang Mansion was full of monsters and demons. Fortunately, the Tang family reacted quickly and immediately stopped everyone from leaving. Otherwise, even if Tang Tian had a hundred mouths, she would not be able to explain herself without evidence.
Officials were also present. When Xiao Jiuyue entered the courtyard, she heard Tang Tian's lark-like voice, a little trembling. She said, "Captain Lin, I can guarantee that the canned oranges I sent are non-toxic. The samples I kept are the best proof."
"If they were handed over to the Fang family, the canned oranges would be fine too." Tang Tian's face turned pale, but she refused to admit the accusation of harming others. She said, "Besides, the Fang family and I have no grudges against each other. Why would I poison them? Wouldn't that ruin the reputation of my candy shop?"
"I still want to run a good business and make money in the future. I believe that even a fool wouldn't do this." Tang Tian pursed her lips, staring at the Fang family and said, "Mrs. Fang, I think you should investigate those who handled the canned oranges to see if they are trying to take advantage of the situation!"
"Last year, at Jinxiu Tower, you even snatched a piece of clothing from me. Who knows, maybe you've grown to hate me?" Miss Fang Caiwei hid behind Madam Fang and said, "Mother, we can't let this go like this. Otherwise, others will think our Fang family is easy to bully!"
"Fang Caiwei, are you stupid? Would I harm your Fang family for a piece of clothing? Would I destroy my own reputation and cut off my own source of income?" Tang Tian was so anxious that she even cursed. She stared at Fang Caiwei and said, "Besides, even if I wanted to harm someone, it would be you. Why would I let Second Miss Fang eat it?"
"Also, no matter how stupid I, Tang Tian, will not do anything in the Fang family!" Tang Tian glared at Fang Caiwei fiercely. Last year, she missed her dinner because of that dress. Now that Fang Caiwei brought it up again, she was even more angry.
Xiao Jiuyue didn't have time to listen to their arguments. She stared at the scattered cans of oranges on the ground and asked, "Are those the cans of poisonous oranges on the ground?"
"Yes," Xiao Tao replied, "Not only that, even the jars of the orange cans were smashed."
Xiao Jiuyue looked at the can of oranges and whispered a few words in Xiaotao's ear. Xiaotao's eyes lit up and she immediately walked to Tang Tian's ear and whispered.
Tang Tian looked back and saw Xiao Jiuyue standing there calmly. At that moment, her panicked heart seemed to settle down. Tang Tian's eyes finally turned to the scattered canned oranges on the ground. She squatted down and took a closer look before saying, "Captain Lin, I have evidence that proves these canned oranges are not from our candy shop."
"Everyone can take a look at this can of oranges. The white tangerine strips in these orange slices are not torn cleanly. You can take a look at the ones in our candy shop." Tang Tian asked someone to take out their can of oranges and pour them directly into a white bowl. The white tangerine strips were torn cleanly, which looked different.
"Who knows if you didn't tear it cleanly on purpose?" Fang Caiwei said with a pout.
Tang Tian ignored Fang Caiwei's words and stared at the maids kneeling on the ground. "Captain Lin, I think you shouldn't be investigating me, but those who came into contact with the canned oranges. Who knows if they switched them?"
"How could there be problems with the people in our house?" Fang Caiwei spoke immediately.
Tang Tian retorted, "Then there won't be any problems with the people in my candy shop!"
"Hmph." Fang Caiwei snorted coldly. She took Madam Fang's hand and said, "Mother, it's a good thing Miss Cheng didn't eat the poisoned can of oranges. If Miss Cheng had... then even if we in the Fang family died a thousand times, it wouldn't be enough to make up for it!"
Cheng Fangjiao, the daughter of County Magistrate Cheng, is also the most distinguished guest at the Fang Mansion banquet today.
