Yan Yunshu didn't have this worry at all. The pastry in her hand didn't smell good anymore, so she changed to other dishes. During this time, the secret guard Ying Feng came in quietly several times. Xu Jinghuai only continued to talk to Yan Yunshu after seeing that she was full.
"We found out that the snake venom powder was secretly given to Yan Shuyao's maid by Ning Jinhua, the grandson of Mr. Ning from Ningshi Medical Clinic."
When Yan Yunshu heard this, the teacup in her hand shook several times.
Xu Jinghuai continued, "It is said that this Ning Jinhua is the real young master who was recently found by the Ning Mansion. He was switched by the wet nurse right after birth, and the fake Ning Jinhua is the wet nurse's child."
Yan Yunshu frowned and looked unwell.
She had finally managed to snatch Ning Jinhua from Yan Shuyao's clutches and sent him back to his original life track. How could she be involved with Yan Shuyao now?
He actually helped Yan Shuyao get the poison powder that was intended to poison him?
"Ningshi Clinic's snake venom powder is a medicinal ingredient used to treat poison with poison, so its use is strictly controlled. Patients cannot take it on their own. Instead, the poisoned person must be brought to the clinic in person, where the old master will personally apply it. The patient must stay in the clinic for three full days until fully recovered. Therefore, this true young master, Ning Jinhua, who returned this time, has violated the clinic's cardinal sins and even gotten involved in Yan Shuyao's case. Now the old master is extremely worried and anxious."
"What about Ning Jinhua? What did he say?"
"He didn't say a word, as if he had lost his mind. This is very suspicious."
"What are you going to do?"
"Immediately bring Yan Shuyao's maid and Ning Jinhua to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation." After Xu Jinghuai finished speaking, he signaled the guards to lift the curtain of the private room. On the stage on the first floor, there was singing and dancing as usual, and the young waiters were singing melodiously.
"Yes..." Yan Yunshu hesitated for a moment and said, "But Ning Jinhua is just a boy of twelve or thirteen. He grew up in the suburbs of Beijing and fled from the border to the capital the day before the Lantern Festival. He knows nothing about the affairs of the capital. It is unlikely that he would conspire with others to poison others."
"Yan Yunshu, how come you know so much about Ning Jinhua's life story?"
"The day before the Lantern Festival, I was passing by Qinghua Lane and saved him. I sent him to Ningshi Medical Clinic."
"Yan Yunshu, I didn't expect you to start acting like a good person. Not long ago, my secret guard who happened to be passing by helped you rescue a skilled craftsman. Now here comes another young man?"
Xu Jinghuai, who knew everything, would never give up the opportunity to tease Yan Yunshu.
Yan Yunshu was about to retort.
Ying Feng descended from the sky, "Your Highness, the person has been taken to the Ministry of Justice."
After Ying Feng finished speaking, he turned to Yan Yunshu and said, "Hello, Princess. Greetings, Princess!"
Yan Yunshu was stunned. She nodded at Yingfeng in a daze. Being a princess was just a matter of time. It was just a formal title. There was nothing wrong with calling her a princess in advance. She even responded to Yingfeng with a smile, without any shyness. Instead, Xu Jinghuai's frosty face opposite her actually turned red.
In order to hide his discomfort, Xu Jinghuai quickly stood up, turned his back to Yan Yunshu, and walked out of the private room quickly.
"Leave."
"Eh? Wait for me!" Yan Yunshu quickly drank the cup of tea in front of her, put on her cloak and veil, and ran out of the private room, but where could she see Xu Jinghuai?
hateful!
She stamped her feet and hurried down the stairs to the first floor.
It looked like I had to walk back to the Ministry of Justice on my own two feet, but I had to get there early! Otherwise, who knew what terrible things Xu Jinghuai would do to Ning Jinhua?
Interrogation? Is that something a child can endure?
She ran to the door of Qingyunfang in a hurry and was about to run towards the Ministry of Justice.
But she saw Xu Jinghuai standing beside the carriage, wearing a bamboo hat, standing quietly facing her direction.
Oh, it turns out that Xu Jinghuai still has some conscience and knows to wait for her.
This formal future husband is not bad.
Yan Yunshu expressed her satisfaction.
…
In the interrogation room of the Ministry of Justice, Yan Shuyao's maid Xiaolian came, handcuffed and being interrogated. Outside the interrogation room, there was Yan Shuyao, who was actually wearing a veil.
Ning Jinhua was not in handcuffs, but was in the interrogation room on the other side as a witness. Accompanying him were Mr. Ning and Ning Jinhua's father, Ning Shixi.
When Yan Yunshu and Xu Jinghuai arrived here, Yan Shuyao came up and pulled Yan Yunshu without saying a word.
He was stopped by Xu Jinghuai.
"Now you are also a person of interest in the case, stay away from us."
We? Yan Shuyao was stunned.
She let go of her hand and looked at Xu Jinghuai pitifully, "Brother Jinghuai, Yao'er just wanted to ask me why I reported the case for Yao'er. Yao'er wants to let this matter go. After all, Xiaolian is my personal maid. Although she poisoned me, she grew up with me. We are as close as sisters. She must have been confused to do such a thing. She must have been bewitched and instructed by someone. Brother Jinghuai, I forgive her, I have already forgiven her. Please, brother Jinghuai, drop this case."
"Impossible. Also, recognize your identity. I am not your brother."
Yan Shuyao began to cry softly, as if she had suffered a lot of injustice.
Yan Yunshu looked at him coldly and said coldly, "Why are you crying? Isn't this what my sister wants?"
"Yao'er just wants Xiaolian to be safe."
"She won't be safe. Just wait for us to collect her body!" Yan Yunshu said with gritted teeth, "And you, you've become a pig-head, so don't hang around here. It's no big deal if you look ugly to others, but it's unbearable for me to look ugly to you."
Yan Shuyao was burning with rage, but she could only endure it. She reluctantly stepped aside, but still stared at Xu Jinghuai, not knowing what she was thinking.
However, after hearing Yan Yunshu's curse, Xu Jinghuai smiled imperceptibly and said, "Let's go. He's over there."
Yan Yunshu rolled her eyes at Yan Shuyao, and went to the inquiry room on the other side with Xu Jinghuai.
The door of the inquiry room was closed. Ning Jinhua and the person in charge were inside, and the situation was at a stalemate. Old Mr. Ning and Ning Shixi were pacing anxiously outside.
After the two arrived, Mr. Ning hurried to greet them. When he met the familiar peach blossom eyes above the veil, he instantly understood the woman's identity. He was hesitating whether to recognize her, but Yan Yunshu spoke first.
"Don't worry, old man. Your grandson will be fine."
Only then did Mr. Ning feel relieved and explained to Yan Yunshu in detail what had happened.
"The day before the Lantern Festival was the day the young lady brought my grandson, Jinhua, to the clinic. He was unconscious at the time, and I was busy preparing medicine for him. Just when he was getting better, he suddenly disappeared. Later, I unexpectedly found him in front of the critical care medicine cabinet in my Ningshi Clinic. His eyes were dull, and he looked like he had lost his soul. The next day, I discovered that the snake venom powder stored in the medicine cabinet was missing. I mobilized the entire clinic to search but couldn't find it. Who could have known that this would lead to such a thing?"
