Chapter 202: You’ll pay for your mother’s life!
"This hooked beetle is extremely poisonous. In just seven days, a person's mind will become unstable and they will eventually die."
As Qi Lingzhou finished speaking, Minglang strode forward and walked to Zhao's side.
He stretched out his finger and probed Zhao's breath, and a chill rushed to his forehead.
"Is she really gone?"
Su Yuheng looked at Minglang with tearful eyes and reached out to push him away.
"Take your dirty hands off me!"
"Why are you so cruel as to poison my mother in this way? Even if you didn't want me to take my mother out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was no need for you to take her life!"
"I told you I didn't poison you, why don't you believe me?" Minglang was furious.
No matter how he explained, Su Yuheng didn't believe it.
"It wasn't you who poisoned her? Haha, do you still have some truth in your mouth?" Su Yuheng sneered and laid Zhao's body on the bed.
She stood up from the bed, pulled out the hairpin on her head, and moved closer to Minglang step by step.
"Who else could it be but you?"
"You killed my mother, I want to avenge my mother!"
The hairpin swung suddenly, and Minglang took a step back in fright, staggering and almost falling to the ground.
"You rebellious girl!"
"Prime Minister!" Two black-clad guards rushed out and immediately protected Minglang.
"Miss, what do you want to do? The Prime Minister is your father, you are committing treason!"
Su Yuheng sneered: "Treason? He was the first to be unkind and unjust. I want this beast to pay with blood!"
Her eyes were red as she looked at Minglang: "You imprisoned my mother for years, and now you've poisoned her to death! And you still say I'm your daughter. Are you worthy? Are you worthy of being a father?"
"My mother is already blind, why don't you let her go and torture her like this?"
"How can I, as your daughter, cope with this? How can I acknowledge you as my father?"
"Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
Su Yuheng shed tears with every word he wrote.
She raised her hairpin and stabbed Minglang regardless of the black-clad man's obstruction.
The two guards protected Minglang tightly.
Minglang was so angry that his face turned blue. He straightened his clothes and said angrily: "Heng'er, put down your hairpin first!"
"If I really wanted to poison your mother, I wouldn't have let her live for so many years. Quick!... Put down the hairpin!"
At this moment, Zhuque walked up to Su Yuheng and said, "Princess, now that the madam has passed away, we should report this to the authorities and have them investigate!"
Linglong said, "What's the point of reporting this to the authorities? Now that the Prime Minister doesn't admit that he poisoned our wife, please find the person who did it and give our princess an explanation!"
"Otherwise, don't blame our princess for being ruthless!"
Qi Lingzhou stood aside, sneering in his heart as Su Yuheng and the other two sang.
Sister is really good at acting.
Minglang said coldly: "Tell this rebellious girl to put down her hairpin, and I will find the person who poisoned her!"
"Her actions are simply rebellious against Tian Gang!"
Su Yuheng waved her sleeves and wiped away her tears.
A pair of eyes, red from crying, stared straight at Minglang.
Minglang felt uncomfortable being looked at by her, and said coldly: "Don't look at me like that, I am your father."
"You don't deserve it! You killed my mother, you don't deserve it at all!"
"No wonder you've been without an heir for so many years. You've done too many evil things, and now you're getting your comeuppance!"
"Shut up!" Minglang shouted angrily.
"Someone, go call the butler!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The guard left Mingshui Pavilion and hurried over with the housekeeper a moment later.
When the housekeeper saw so many people in the room and Zhao with her eyes closed on the bed, he immediately knew what had happened.
He walked up to Minglang respectfully.
"Prime Minister, what are your instructions?"
Minglang said, "Go to the mansion and call all the maids who make medicine in the kitchen and question them one by one."
"Also, have someone take Doctor Yu to search the mansion to see who is so bold as to poison the master of Mingshui Pavilion!"
The butler bowed and said, "Yes, Lord."
After the butler took Qi Lingzhou away, Minglang looked at the guard beside him again.
"Go to Doctor Wu's residence and ask him to come and see if there is any room for maneuver for Madam."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" After the guards left, Minglang strode towards the bed with a dark face.
His eyes fell on Zhao's face, and instead of feeling the slightest bit of heartache, he felt a hint of disgust.
For so many years, he has always treated Zhao as an enemy and tortured her.
Now that the person is dead, he doesn't feel any guilt at all.
"Are you really dead?"
"Who allowed you to die? You still have to forgive Ning Shuang!"
Seeing this, Su Yuheng rushed over and pushed Minglang away.
"Get out of here!"
"Your mother is gone, and you're still blaming her for what happened back then? If you hadn't imprisoned her, would she have been killed?"
"Over the years, you have been allowing Wang to bully my mother!"
"Today, I will sever my parental relationship with you!"
Minglang looked at Su Yuheng viciously.
"You want to sever the father-daughter relationship with me?"
"You want to sever your father-daughter relationship with me for such a morally corrupt woman?"
"I'm your real father!"
"You don't deserve it!"
"Master, the poison has been found!" At this moment, the butler's voice came from outside the room.
Su Yuheng looked outside the door and saw the housekeeper coming in with two guards and a maid.
The butler was holding a herb in his hand.
Minglang glanced at the old woman's face and found that it was the head nanny beside Wang.
After the guards brought the nanny in, they threw her directly in front of Minglang.
The housekeeper said, "Master, the poison was found in Nanny Fang's room. We've confirmed it with Doctor Yu, and it's exactly the same poison that Madam was poisoned with."
Nanny Fang knelt down with a thud and said, "Master, I have never bought this herb before. Please check it out."
Su Yuheng stood up and looked at Minglang.
"I recognize her. This Nanny Fang is someone who works for Wang."
"She was holding a grudge against me for what happened that day, so she poisoned my mother to death!"
Minglang seemed to know what was going on. Without saying a word, he stormed out of the room and saw the guards bringing a maid over.
This maid was the one who made medicine for Zhao in the kitchen and was a relative of Wang.
Minglang said coldly: "Take them both away and interrogate them thoroughly!"
After Minglang finished speaking, he turned and went to Wang's yard. As soon as he stepped into Wang's room, he saw Wang looking at him with horror.
When Wang saw someone coming, she immediately got up from the bed and knelt directly in front of Minglang.
"Master, I swear to heaven that I did not buy Gelsemium elegans to poison Zhao."
Minglang's face was cold, and he stretched out his leg and kicked Wang hard to the ground.
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Are you that impatient?"
"How could you be so stupid? Did you turn a deaf ear to my words? I asked you to be discreet, so why are you making such a big fuss? You're giving people a handle on you!"
