Knowing that the visitors meant no harm, the Murong family patriarch and matriarch led their family out, and upon seeing the situation, their faces were burning with anger.
"What do you Wu family mean by this? You were having dinner together just a few days ago, and now the whole family is causing trouble at the Murong family's house." Old Master Murong was so angry that his face turned ashen.
"Don't play dumb, Master Murong. Look at the good granddaughter you raised. She poisoned my granddaughter and ruined her hands." Old Master Wu sneered.
Murong Shu was helped up, but one side of her face was red and swollen, with five finger marks clearly visible.
“I did not poison Wu Qingjin, so why are you so stubborn in slandering me and insisting that it was me?”
"You didn't administer it." Wu Qingjin took two steps forward, her eyes blazing with fierce anger. "Then why did you have the antidote? Why did you recover and even flaunt it in the front yard? Doesn't that explain everything?"
So that's why so many members of the Wu family broke in. Murong Shu couldn't help but smile.
“Someone sent me the antidote. I bought it for ten thousand taels of gold. I am blessed by the heavens and protected by the gods. I am just luckier than you. So what? If you’re not convinced, ask the heavens why no one sent you the antidote.”
Madam Murong said angrily, "My daughter used her savings of many years, and I contributed my dowry, to raise 10,000 taels of gold to buy the antidote. You five families came to my door to question me without even knowing the facts, and you even beat my daughter. You have disregarded the friendship between our two families over the years. You are so arrogant and outrageous. If you don't give me an explanation today, you won't be leaving."
The Wu family members looked at each other in bewilderment. If someone was selling the antidote, why did they specifically seek out Murong Shu instead of Wu Qingjin?
"Then who gave you the antidote? If you don't tell me, you're the one who harmed me." Wu Qingjin felt like she had grasped a lifeline when she heard that someone was selling the antidote.
Regardless of whether Murong Shu really poisoned her, she should focus on healing her hand first.
At this point, a look of pride appeared on Murong Shu's face, and she raised her chin high, as if she had forgotten the pain and humiliation of being slapped just now.
“She was a female bodhisattva. She took the initiative to find me, sold me the antidote, and then disappeared in front of me, emitting a ray of Buddhist light. This is heaven’s blessing upon me. You don’t have such good fortune, so who can you blame but yourself? May you have good luck.”
Upon hearing these words, the Wu family felt a surge of anger, as if they had been tricked by Murong Shu.
This is treating the entire Wu family like fools.
The idea of a female bodhisattva appearing in the world, emitting Buddha's light, and then disappearing is such a fabricated story, it's completely illogical and shows a complete disregard for human dignity.
"You're talking nonsense! Why don't you say it's the antidote sent to you by the Buddha? If it's from a god or Buddha, why would they ask you for money? I've never heard of gods or Buddhas loving money!" Wu Qingjin shouted.
"So what if gods and Buddhas love money? People rely on clothes, and Buddhas rely on gold. Look at your attitude, and you'll know why the female bodhisattva isn't coming to you. You even question her love of money, which shows you're unwilling to give it to her, hahaha." Murong Shu pointed at Wu Qingjin and burst into laughter.
“You love money more than life itself and are unwilling to spend money to treat your hands. Even the gods and Buddhas know that you are beyond saving.”
Old Master Wu said with a cold and stern face: "Miss Murong, please be serious and tell me where the expert with the antidote is. As long as Qingjin's hand is healed, we can treat it as a farce between you. The Wu family and the Murong family are both prestigious families and have been friends for many years. It would be unsightly if things got out of hand and it would also cause some turmoil in the court."
“Hey, old man Wu, you’re wrong,” said old man Murong. “You came here and immediately accused my granddaughter of poisoning your granddaughter, but there is clearly no evidence. It’s disgraceful to throw mud at someone like that. You even attacked people as soon as you arrived, and you even attacked your master. I’m afraid this won’t be easy to resolve.”
Grandpa Wu chuckled: "All we asked you to do was reveal who has the antidote, and you actually made up stories about gods and Buddhas to fob us off. Do you think we, the Wu family, are so stupid that we would believe such nonsense? If we didn't have something to hide, we wouldn't need to cover it up like this."
