"Tell me, did you poison me?"
At this moment, inside the Prime Minister's residence, Han Bingmo's eyes were filled with boundless rage, and his trembling hand pointed at "Xue Ziwei".
"Zhao Hu, you didn't give this scumbag the antidote too, did you?!"
Looking at her father who was questioning her without asking any questions, "Blood Purple Rose" frowned and asked Zhao Hu.
"It was my fault. I thought he was the princess's father after all. If I had known he would dare to yell at the princess like that, I would not have given him the antidote and would have let him die instead."
Zhao Hu gritted his teeth in hatred, truly regretting having just given this scumbag the princess's blood to drink.
"You wretched girl, you wretched girl! I knew you wouldn't come back to the manor with anything good. How dare you poison me! I am your father! Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Upon hearing Zhao Hu suggest that he should just die, Prime Minister Han Bingmo dared not vent his anger on him, but instead took it out on his daughter, Han Ziwei.
“Father, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. If it weren’t for my eldest sister saving us just now, we would probably all be dead by now.”
Han Ruobin couldn't help but speak up when he saw his father slandering his sister like this.
"Yes! Master, we were all poisoned just now. If it was really Ziwei who poisoned us, she wouldn't have harmed me and Ruobin as well. Master, you can't wrong Ziwei!"
Disappointment flashed in Wang Shuqing's eyes. The man in front of her was truly blinded by greed. He had only cared about Mu Xue'er and her daughter before, and now he was even accusing her own daughter without any regard for the facts. This man was truly heartless.
"If it wasn't her, why were we all poisoned except her?"
Han Bingmo remained defiant, and Baihe protected her.
"Why does the Prime Minister only suspect my young lady and not the second young lady? She's fine too."
We've all been poisoned, but the second young lady has disappeared. If anyone is a suspect, it's her, more so than my young lady.
"Ruyi would never be as vicious as this rebellious daughter. Ruyi has always been filial and would never poison me."
Han Bingmo instinctively defended Han Ruyi, but heard "Xue Ziwei" snort coldly.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you this time, Father. It really was your precious daughter who poisoned you this time."
Why would the older sister slander her younger sister like this? What did the younger sister do wrong?
You framed my mother, and now you're framing me too, Father! Waaah... My sister is so full of hatred! Waaah..."
Han Ruyi arrived just in time; her sobbing and weeping appearance was truly pitiful.
"Young Miss, you've gone too far! Second Miss only went to the prison to see Second Madam. How could you speak ill of Second Miss behind her back?"
Han Ruyi's maid, Ye Qing, also helped out.
"You mean you just went to see your mother? How is she? Did she say who she transferred the money to?"
Upon hearing from Han Ruyi that he had gone to see Mu Xue'er, Prime Minister Han Bingmo asked anxiously.
After all, she had absconded with all the money in the Prime Minister's mansion, and the mansion would probably starve in the future, so Han Bingmo was naturally anxious.
"Mother... Mother... she... sob..."
Mentioning her mother, Han Ruyi choked up and cried again, and Han Bingmo was extremely worried.
"Tell me quickly! Did your mother say who she transferred the money to?"
"Waaah... Mother is dead. Someone killed her to cover it up, waaah..."
"Chu Yunmo is right. Now that our mother is dead, the best course of action is to use her to get rid of 'Blood Purple Rose'. As for the others, we can talk about them later."
Thinking this, Han Ruyi glanced at the crowd and, sure enough, saw that Zhao Hu had an injury on his arm. She immediately flew into a rage.
"It really was that bitch who killed my mother. I will make sure she suffers a terrible death."
"Xue'er is dead? Xue'er is dead..."
Upon hearing the devastating news, Prime Minister Han Bingmo staggered back several steps. Had it not been for his attendant Situ Hui supporting him, he would have collapsed long ago. Over the years, besides respect, he still harbored some feelings for Mu Xue'er.
"Who? Who killed Xue'er?"
A moment later, Han Bingmo grasped Han Ruyi's hand, his tone heavy.
“My daughter doesn’t know either, but she heard that the man had an injury on his arm.”
As Han Ruyi spoke, her fiery phoenix eyes swept over Zhao Hu.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hu hurriedly covered the wound that "Blood Purple Rose" had bandaged for him with his hand, but it was too late. A scream was heard from Ye Qing, the maidservant beside Han Ruyi.
"Master, look! It's him! He killed Madam!"
Following Ye Qing's hand, everyone looked over and saw Zhao Hu frantically trying to cover his wound with his sleeve, which only made things worse.
"It was you, you unfilial daughter, who made him kill your mother?"
Han Bingmo glared at "Xue Ziwei," wishing he could strangle her.
"Sister? How could it be you? Why did you do this? My mother has always treated you well, how could you treat her like this? Waaah..."
Han Ruyi is truly a pure white lotus flower; it's time for her to sob and weep.
"You wicked girl, how vicious you are! You murdered your stepmother, poisoned your father, what else are you incapable of? I'm going to hand you over to the authorities."
Han Bingmo almost roared, and Han Ruyi continued to add fuel to the fire.
“Father, my sister did much more than that; she is also suspected of framing the accountant, Zheng Yibo.”
"Zheng Yibo?"
Han Bing was bewildered, but Han Ruyi offered an explanation.
“Father, think about it! My sister said long ago that no one is allowed to enter the ‘Meilan Garden’. Zheng Yibo doesn’t know kung fu, so how could he have stolen the jade pendant that the prince gave to my sister without anyone noticing? My sister must have deliberately placed the jade pendant in Zheng Yibo’s room.”
Their aim was to frame Zheng Yibo and steal the money from the Prime Minister's residence.
Everyone says that Mother is innocent, and it was my elder sister who truly stole the Prime Minister's money.
Han Ruyi's counterattack truly shocked "Xue Ziwei's" worldview. However, she was right about one thing: she did put the jade pendant in Zheng Yibai's room with the intention of getting rid of him. Who knew that it would lead to Mu Xueer's transfer of assets? She really didn't expect that.
"You're talking nonsense. It's clear that the Second Madam embezzled the family's money. You can't slander the Eldest Miss like this."
Hongxia couldn't help but say something, and was slapped hard by Ye Qing, who was standing next to Han Ruyi.
"You lowly servant, do you know who you're talking to? The Second Miss is talking to the Eldest Miss, what right do you have to interrupt?"
"Slap slap..."
Seeing her own people killed, "Blood Purple Rose" was not about to swallow her anger; she slapped Ye Qing twice across the face.
"Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner! Hongxia is my woman, and who do you think you are? How dare you lecture her? I'll take your life."
"Blood Purple Rose"'s two slaps were truly powerful. Two "bloody handprints" immediately appeared on both sides of Ye Qing's face. However, "Blood Purple Rose" forgot that she had just cut her palm to save someone, and her blood was full of poison. In no time, Ye Qing collapsed to the ground and began to convulse, spitting out black blood continuously.
"Ah... Murder! Murder!"
The screams rose and fell, along with Han Ruyi's smug voice.
“Father, did you see that? She was carrying poison. She dared to poison Ye Qing in full view of everyone. What else wouldn’t she dare to do?”
"Guards, summon the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and arrest this wicked woman."
Han Bingmo screamed in terror, fearing that "Blood Purple Rose" would poison him again.
At this moment, "Blood Purple Rose" stared blankly at her hand.
"That's not right! When did the effects of the medicine lessen with her own blood? And she's even convulsing; shouldn't she have died on the spot?"
