In the main hall of the Ye family, Ye Hongtu sat at the head of the hall, while Madam Xiao sat beside him holding Ye Chuyao.

The three brothers Ye Yunge sat on both sides of the hall.

At this moment, everyone stared at Ye Shiqing who was kneeling on the ground with eager eyes.

"Shiqing, can you explain to us why there are so many spiders in the seven-color sunflower bush?"

"Don't say you know everything. You planted all those seven-colored sunflowers with your own hands."

Ye Hongtu looked at Ye Shiqing with a cold expression.

He has decided to give his adopted daughter a good beating today.

Of course, she was a little too helpless.

However, facing the stares of the Ye family, Ye Shiqing remained calm.

Even Ye Hongtu was amazed by this decision.

“Boom boom boom!”

Ye Shiqing first knocked three times in a row.

The girl said in a hurry, "My dear father, those seven-colored sunflowers were indeed planted by my daughter herself."

"But my daughter knows why there are so many spiders in the flowers."

"However, the Sixth Princess was frightened today because of the seven-colored sunflowers planted by her daughter. Of course, the Sixth Princess could not have gone there and such a thing would not have happened."

"So, my daughter is wrong, please punish me, father."

After saying this, Ye Shiqing bent down and kowtowed deeply.

These words left Ye Hongtu speechless for a moment.

Those seven-colored sunflowers were planted by Ye Shiqing, but there is no evidence to prove that those seven-colored magic beads were made by Ye Shiqing.

You can't put all the blame on Ye Shiqing just because she planted the seven-color sunflower, right?

Although Ye Hongtu hated this adopted daughter, he was actually capable of doing this kind of thing.

[Tsk, tsk, this Ye Shiqing is really good at pushing it. 】

[And this move is a retreat to advance. Even Daddy can't do anything to her, after all, there is no evidence to prove that she raised those spiders.]

【But, there is always a loophole in your secret. 】

[The unused spider eggs are still hidden in your yard. We need to search them out and see how you can defend yourself.]

Ye Hongtu raised his eyebrows: "Haha, I don't know how to deal with this sharp-tongued girl."

"The voice of my beloved daughter really comes at the right time."

So Ye Hongtu smiled coldly and said: "As far as I know, those spiders are not ordinary spiders, but very rare seven-colored magic spiders."

"Once bitten by this spider, the body will be paralyzed instantly."

"If there is no antidote, the poisoned person will surely die within seven days."

"The appearance of this venomous spider in our Ye Mansion is obviously an accident."

"And you planted all those seven-colored sunflowers. Tell me, should I doubt you?"

Being questioned by Ye Hongtu.

Ye Shiqing's heart skipped a beat.

"He actually knows the Seven-Colored Demonic Spider?"

"This kind of poisonous spider is extremely rare. Even most poison cultivators who often deal with poisonous creatures are not familiar with this kind of poison."

"Ye Hongtu, he is a great general, how could he recognize him?"

Ye Shiqing always felt that this kind of thing was somewhat reasonable, but it actually happened.

Previously, she was still a little confused about how Ye Yunge managed to drive those demon spiders out of the bushes with his ability.

Now she understood that both Ye Hongtu and Ye Yunge seemed to know a lot about this seven-colored demon spider.

It's very common. This is very common!

[Oh my, how does Daddy know so much about the Seven-Colored Demon Spider? ]

[Also, my eldest brother said earlier that he drove out several colorful spiders from the seven-colored sunflower bushes. How did he do that? ]

[Logically, apart from Ye Shiqing, no one else in this world knows what the Seven-Colored Demonic Spider is, except for the Great Holy Land.]

Hearing his daughter's thoughts, Ye Hongtu was secretly proud.

"My dear daughter, you are wrong."

"Besides Ye Shiqing, do you know much about this seven-colored demon spider?"

Of course, he dared to say this directly.

He looked at Ye Shiqing without saying anything for a long time.

Mrs. Xiao's voice suddenly rang out: "Shiqing, the master wants to ask you a question?"

"You should know how dangerous it is today."

"The Sixth Princess threatened to kill everyone in my Ye family. She said this because she was frightened."

"If she is really bitten by a spider, the Emperor will be furious. Then the entire Ye Mansion, including you, may be imprisoned."

"So, you know something, you must keep it secret."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shiqing was shocked.

She slowly raised her head, and I saw tears streaming down her face, looking heartbroken.

"Dear father and mother, I am truly wronged."

"My daughter planted those seven-colored sunflowers because she thought they were pretty. She really had no other thoughts."

"As for the seven-colored demon spider, my daughter has never heard of it."

"Besides, everyone in the Ye family treats me badly, and my daughter definitely has no intention of harming anyone!"

After saying that, she kowtowed three times in a row, "Dong Dong Dong."

If everyone in the Ye family could hear Ye Chuyao's inner voice, she might have deceived everyone present with her appearance.

"If I had listened to my sister's inner voice, I would have really believed she could do such a thing."

"This Ye Chuyao is indeed difficult to deal with. Unfortunately, she met our precious sister."

"Hmph, you admit it now, huh? Dig out those spider eggs later and we'll see how you can make excuses."

The three brothers of the Ye family looked at Ye Shiqing coldly, with a hint of coldness in their eyes.

"According to ancient records, the seven-colored demon spider hatches from eggs."

"This kind of spider eggs is extremely precious. After the idle people use them, there should be some left in stock for emergency use."

"Since you say you are innocent, would you dare to let me send someone to search the compound where you live?"

"If nothing is found, the matter will be over."

[Hahahaha, Daddy is wise. We must find the spider eggs and see how she can make excuses.]

[Let me think, where did she hide the spider eggs in the original book?]

[Oh, damn, it doesn’t seem to be written in the book! ]

The three brothers of the Ye family looked at each other, with a strange look in their eyes.

It seems that my younger sister knows nothing.

"Father, please send someone to search."

"If the seven-colored demon spider eggs are really found, Shi Qing is willing to be punished."

"Even if father is not found, Shiqing is still willing to accept the punishment."

"After all, if it was my daughter who planted the seven-colored sunflower, so many things would have happened."

Ye Shiqing's words were sincere and heartfelt, without any falsehood.

This acting is truly amazing.

【Ouch, that's amazing! 】

[Ashamed to be the heroine, this character is far from being comparable to the ordinary cannon fodder female supporting role. 】

[Is she so sure that Daddy has found out everything? Or does she have some plan?]

[If that's the case, it would be interesting.]

[After all, it is somewhat reasonable that a fatal heroine was killed so easily. ]

Next, Ye Hongtu dispatched the Shangfu soldiers to search the courtyard where Ye Shiqing lived inside and out.

Just when everyone thought there was nothing to gain.

A soldier exclaimed in surprise: "Found it!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the palace soldier holding a small green porcelain bottle and walking straight up to Ye Hongtu.

Ye Hongtu took the porcelain bottle, uncorked it, and poured out a few milky white spider eggs.

Seeing this, he asked coldly, "Where did you find it?"

"From...from the eldest lady's personal maid Shaoyao."

The soldier was frightened by Ye Hongtu's aura and even stuttered when he spoke.

"Bring that maid here." Ye Hongtu said coldly.

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, Ye Shiqing's maid Shaoyao was escorted by two palace soldiers to Ye Hongtu and others.

"What do you have to say now?"

Ye Hongtu looked at Ye Shiqing, a hint of murderous intent emanating from him.

Now that he had both the victim and the stolen property, he wanted to see how Ye Shiqing would defend herself.

Facing Ye Hongtu's questioning, Ye Shiqing's expression changed again and again. She looked at Shaoyao with disbelief:

"Why...why did you betray me?"

"You sold yourself on the street to bury your father. I bought you back and helped you bury your father."

"After you enter the Ye Mansion, I will treat you like a sister."

"I didn't expect you to use this poisonous spider to harm me?"

Ye Shiqing's words stunned the three brothers of the Ye family.

"Yes, you are sure it's okay to just throw the pot away like this?"

"You know, this is a crime that will cost you your life. How can you be sure that the maid is willing to take the blame for you?"

[Oh my, what a shameless Ye Shiqing! ]

[You're throwing the blame in public, but how much does she make a month? Are you sure she'll risk her life for you?]

However, what happened next completely shocked everyone in the Ye Mansion.

놙Seeing Shaoyao looking at Ye Shiqing with resentment:

"Haha, why do I want to murder you?"

"Of course it's because you are the eldest daughter of the Ye family."

"I don't know how many of my Great Zhou soldiers Ye Hongtu has killed, including my two brothers."

"I went through so much trouble to sneak into the Ye Mansion just to teach this old man Ye Hongtu a lesson."

[Ah? Isn't this a lame excuse? ]

[Even if you hate the Ye family, shouldn't you find an adopted daughter to take revenge on? ]

[After all, she is of the Ye family bloodline! ]

Ye Shiqing pretended to understand and asked Ye Chuyao about the doubts in her mind.

"Hahahaha, why would I kill your adopted daughter?"

"Of course it's because before that kid was born, you were the one that the Ye family valued the most."

"Besides, the boss of the Ye family is away all year round, so I have no chance at all."

"The old man of the Ye family is the same. He stops by the Ye family several times a year."

"As for this old man Ye Hongtu, he is too strong. I dare not get close to him."

"As for the third son of the Ye family, he is a piece of trash. Killing him will not cause any loss to the Ye family."

"I would like to deal with Mrs. Xiao, but she lives in seclusion and I have no chance to get close to her."

"After all the calculations, I can't let you down."

After listening to Shaoyao's explanation, even Ye Hongtu felt that it seemed to make some sense.

But Ye Yunping did it.

"Yes, are you polite?"

"Who are you calling trash?"

"What do you mean by killing my Ye family without any loss? Who are you looking down upon?"

Ye Yunping's face was dark. For the first time in his life, he felt that he was really looked down upon by others.

[Although the logic is correct, it is still very powerful! ]

[Is it okay to force a charge? 】

[But after this maid did this, there was really no way she could do anything to Ye Shiqing.]

[Bah, she's not ashamed to be the heroine. Even a maid licks her like this.]

At this moment, the maid Shaoyao suddenly stared at Ye Hongtu.

"You old thief Ye, it's a pity that I can't avenge my two brothers."

"But even if I become a fierce ghost, 껩놊 will not let you go!"

After saying this, she suddenly raised her head and laughed crazily.

“Hahahaha~”

"Hmm? That's right!

"This girl wants to..."

Ye Hongtu suddenly realized something.
