Chapter 648 Don’t Bully Her
Just counting the number of powder packets made Jiang Ning's face turn pale.
"This should be the Yunmu powder used on your old lady. It is usually used as medicine, but if used on someone who is poisoned, it will make her condition worse." Yin Li picked up another bag of powder and threw it to Doctor He.
Doctor He's face was initially filled with doubt, but after carefully examining the powder, a glint flashed in his old eyes, and he suddenly realized, "It really is Yunmu... Why didn't I think of it before?"
Yin Li counted two items and stopped looking. She simply took out a porcelain bottle and poured it onto the ground.
There was nothing inside. He exclaimed and directly pulled Hu Xiner's wrist. He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was not poisoned.
Although he was clearly nervous, he scoffed nonchalantly, "Luckily you're lucky. Otherwise, if you were infected with the Gu while you were pregnant, even the gods wouldn't be able to save you."
He picked up another bottle and saw a black shadow rolling out of the bottle mouth. It looked very inconspicuous, but after encountering the temperature in the room, it slowly moved and made a sizzling sound.
The thing inside made Mu Qing and Lu Yunjue's expressions change drastically: "It's a poisonous insect!"
Before they could protect Hu Xin'er and retreat, a ball of blue fire appeared in Yin Li's palm, and he slammed the thing to the ground to death.
He pointed to several other porcelain bottles on the ground and said, "These should all be filled with various poisonous insects."
However, Lu's mother was not poisoned, and other people in the Lu family did not show any signs of poisoning.
Doctor He murmured, "Could it be that what infected Master Lu was one of these poisonous insects? Then wouldn't it be possible to find an antidote from this woman?!"
Yin Li ignored him and clapped her hands, stuffing all the bottles and jars into her sleeves. Then she looked at everyone unhappily: "I've cited so much evidence, can I now explain her identity?"
Everyone looked at each other, unable to believe that Jiang Ning would actually carry these poisons with him.
As for Yin Li's testimony, it was like a fairy tale.
How could this pitiful and lovely girl, who is usually naive and silly like a child, be the murderer who poisoned the old lady, colluded with the Zhou family, and almost brought disaster to the Lu family?
But if she is really innocent, how do you explain all these things on her body?
Although Hu Xin'er and others were reluctant to believe it, they also remembered Jiang Ning's previous abnormal behavior.
"Could it be that when she was in her mother's room, she had mixed the powdered medicine into tea and food and secretly fed it to her mother?!" Lu Yunjue was horrified.
Hu Xin'er also looked at Mu Qing suddenly: "My husband, before you were poisoned, did you only eat the cakes in mother's room?"
Mu Qing hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Indeed, and that piece of cake was given to me by Jiang Ning himself."
At that time, he felt that his behavior towards Jiang Ning was a bit too much, so he ate the cake. Who knew that Jiang Ning would climb into the bed afterwards?
The bed-climbing incident distracted most of the people's attention. It was not until Mu Qing vomited blood that they realized something was wrong. However, at that time, they would never have thought that the problem was with Jiang Ning.
Although the Du family didn't know what the situation was, they vaguely guessed that something was wrong by looking at the solemn expressions of the Lu family.
They naturally knew that Mother Lu's condition was getting worse day by day, and they also knew that the strange poison in Mu Qing was extremely serious and it might suddenly break out one day.
For a moment, everyone's expressions when looking at Jiang Ning became complicated.
The blood drained from Jiang Ning's face. Yin Li's accusation almost beat her to the point where she had no power to recover.
Moreover, she was just a weak woman and could not defeat the masters present. At this moment, Yin Li had sealed her Zhongshan acupoint and she could not even move. How could she escape?
Am I going to die here today?
Wouldn't that be the same as the loser the prince sent out before?
No, she was unwilling to fail like this!
She began to tremble slightly and stood there unable to move, but her eyes filled with fear and grievance could see into everyone's heart, reminding them how they were slandering a weak person who had no ability to fight back.
Tears flowed out from her eyes, flowed across her peach-like face, slid to her pointed chin, and fell to the ground, also falling on Mother Lu's heart.
Jiang Ning's appearance at this moment seemed to slowly overlap with Jiang Yao's in her mind.
She walked to Jiang Ning's side and tapped the ground slowly with her cane, making a tapping sound.
Then, she wiped away Jiang Ning's tears and said in an unquestionable tone: "Master Yin, no matter what, this is our Lu family's family affair. Please let her go."
"What?" Even though Yin Li was used to seeing strange things, she couldn't help but frown slightly. "Madam Lu, are you getting senile and confused? This is the culprit who caused you to sleep for many days. She also colluded with the Zhou family and almost killed your entire family."
He held up the empty porcelain bottle and said, "There's a Gu insect growing inside this porcelain bottle. You know what a Gu insect is, don't you? It might have been planted in your precious son!"
Keeping Jiang Ning would be tantamount to seeking death, wouldn't it?
Mother Lu didn't even hesitate, and said firmly: "I know, but please spare her life."
Yin Li's expression was as if he had seen a ghost. He gave up arguing with Lu's mother and turned to look at the other three people in the Lu family: "Hey, don't you guys care about your own mother? She's obviously sick and stupid, right?"
Lu Yunjue stepped forward to support Lu's mother and whispered, "Mom, you just woke up and you don't know, brother--"
"No matter what mistakes she made, or what she did to the Lu family, this is the retribution we deserve!" Mother Lu closed her eyes tightly and made a final concession. "If you still recognize me as your mother, then spare her life and raise her well."
Everyone was shocked.
Mu Qing emphasized, "Mother, even if she is indeed a member of the Jiang family who was left behind, she is still the prince's spy!"
If the Lu family keeps the prince's spy well, what does that mean? Would they be putting their own necks on the prince's knife?
Yes, they all understood Mother Lu's desire to atone for the Jiang family's sins, but that had to be done on the premise of preserving the lives of the entire family.
Is Mother Lu going to give up the lives of her entire family for an unrelated relative?
This is simply ridiculous.
Mother Lu tightly gripped the cane in her hand, her eyes filled with a stubbornness and persistence that others could not understand: "Even if she is the prince's spy, she is still our family, your sister! You will never bully her in this life!"
