Chapter 143 Poisoning
The guests nodded woodenly.
really.
No one would air family secrets in public.
But no one would let an actor say something that alludes to his own family members on such a good day, right?
Where is the best flower in this book and where is the full moon?
All they heard was the withering flowers and the waning moon.
Others don't understand, but how could Wen Jiming, the person involved, not understand?
He explained why his wife had to turn off the lights and go to the clean room before coming back to have sex with him since their wedding night.
Why wouldn't I let him sleep in the same bed with me once I got pregnant?
Why did she say that she was injured after giving birth and could not serve him in the future, and generously arranged for him to take a concubine?
It turned out that the person he had an affair with, who had carried twins for nine months and gave birth to them, was not his legally married wife at all, but his wife's younger sister who was under someone else's control!
Even the person who saved him was his wife's sister!
This sister-in-law should be Miss Qi San, whom he had never met.
In the year and a half after his marriage, he often came to the Qi family and met almost everyone in the Qi family, except the third Miss Qi, who was either staying at the farm to recuperate or at the mansion to recuperate, so he had no chance to meet her.
He boasted in vain that he had the ability to judge people and had never made mistakes in the subordinates he promoted, but he was fooled by the person next to him.
It's really... the most ridiculous thing in the world.
The woman on top of the stage continued talking to herself.
"Speaking of this, you readers may be wondering why the play is called 'A Full Moon Over Flowers' when the mother and daughter of the Sheng family are so frustrated. Don't worry, let me explain it to you."
"The eldest legitimate daughter has both a daughter and a daughter, so naturally there's no need for a concubine's sister. The reason why I didn't kill her immediately after she gave birth was because I was afraid the child wouldn't survive, so I wanted to wait a while."
"After waiting for more than half a year, and seeing that the child was healthy, I decided to take action against my concubine sister."
"Just then, someone who knew the truth secretly threatened her, asking her to murder a certain lady, otherwise he would make the matter public."
"She resorted to the same old trick and asked her concubine's sister to kill the lady."
"If this goes through, the coercion will be over, and my concubine's sister will have paid for her life. She will have a pair of children and a husband with a promising future. Isn't that the perfect blessing for a long and prosperous life?"
Guests: “…”
It turns out to be a satirical play!
Such a beautiful and full moon, it is so vicious.
Qi Yuwan was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She wished she could turn her eyes into sharp arrows and pierce the slave girl on the roof like a hedgehog.
But it can't happen on the spot.
Not only could she not lose her temper, she also had to lead the applause to prevent the audience from confusing the characters in the play with her.
Seeing how calm and composed she was from beginning to end, the guests wondered for a moment if they were overthinking it and thought maybe this was all a show.
They clapped along blankly.
A resounding voice suddenly rang out from behind him: "Where is Qi Yuwan? Someone has accused you of rape, imprisonment, fraudulent adoption of someone else's child, and forced murder. Please come with us to the government office."
Guests: “!!!”
Qi Yuyao: "!!!!!!"
Is the eldest daughter in the play just now really the eldest sister?
Qi Yuwan almost fainted.
“Who reported the case?”
She stood up with the help of the armrest of the chair, looked at the constable standing outside the theater, and said angrily.
"This is a false accusation! How can you designate me as a suspect based on just a few words?"
"I reported the case."
A soft female voice sounded.
Wen Jiming's pupils trembled.
He recognized this voice. He would occasionally hear a hint of it when the couple was in love. He had previously thought it was the voice his wife would make when she was shy, but it turned out that...
Qi Yuzhen walked out from the shadows and spoke calmly, "Qi Yuwan, you forced me to serve your husband, imprisoned me in a villa to give birth to a child, and then forced me to assassinate Madam Ji. I'm here to seek justice."
"Someone come!"
Qi Yuwan clenched her teeth.
"Take the Third Miss back to the hospital. I've told you so many times that she's having a hysterical attack and can't be discharged. How did you take care of her? You actually let her run all the way to the government office to report the crime!"
She is the eldest daughter of the Qi family. Even though she is married, she still holds great power in the Marquis's Mansion.
Upon hearing this, the servants serving in the theater immediately surrounded Qi Yuzhen.
Wuhua flew down from the eaves and landed beside Qi Yuzhen, kicking the servants of Qi's mansion to the ground with his left and right kicks.
"The plaintiff is about to be dragged away right in front of you, why are you still standing there?"
She shouted at the yamen runners who came to arrest people.
The yamen runners hurried forward.
"Don't attack the plaintiff! Miss Qi, please move to the government office and cooperate with the authorities in the investigation."
Marquis Wenyuan's wife, Lady Lei, rushed over and angrily shouted, "My daughter hasn't committed any crime. Why should she go to the yamen with you? Even if someone accuses her, she'll still be tried. It's almost midnight, and your yamen won't even open?"
The leading yamen runner nodded: "The court will indeed be held tonight."
Lei: “???”
When did the Criminal Justice Department become so diligent?
Are we going to rush to take performance appraisals?
But the yamen runner added, "It's not about the case of Ling's daughter that's being brought to court, but about the case of the marquis poisoning Lord Ji."
Lei almost lost his balance.
"Marquis? Which Marquis?"
The yamen runner gave her a deep look and said, "Of course it's your Lordship."
Lei: “!!!”
Guests: (｀Д′)!!
Poisoning Lord Ji?
What a niche word.
Is the Marquis' Mansion really hosting a Hundred Days Banquet tonight? Why does it feel like the Last Supper...
Marquis Wenyuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot when he was brought to the theater by another group of yamen runners.
Even if he wanted to poison himself, he would never poison Ji Changqing, okay!
It's just that his private lending business was discovered and he was afraid that he couldn't cover it up, so he wanted Ji Changqing to help him intercede.
Afraid that this guy would not agree, he wanted to use the opportunity of discussing the relocation of the grave to give him some Chinese medicine for sex, so that he and Yuyao could have a good relationship and the two families could become one family.
Who knew that this guy discovered the secret of the wine pot.
It was a mandarin duck pot. It looked no different from an ordinary wine pot, but the inside was divided into two halves. When you poured from the spout to the left or to the right, different wines would be poured out.
The wine he poured for himself was unadulterated, and the wine he poured for Ji Changqing was medicated.
Even if most people find something strange, they won't point it out to the person's face. At most, they will refuse to drink. But Ji Changqing doesn't follow the usual path!
Without saying a word, he sent someone to the government office to report the case, accusing him of poisoning and murdering an imperial official!
Oh my god!
Even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to poison him in his own study!
Marquis Wenyuan has elderly parents and young children to support, and he is not a desperado. How could he do such a stupid thing!
To prove that the medicinal wine was non-toxic, he even took a sip in front of Ji Changqing.
Ji Changqing was unmoved: "Even if this medicine is just for pleasure, even if the Marquis is fine after taking it, it doesn't mean that this medicine won't kill me."
"My Lord, adding the medicine to the wine without confirming whether I can take it is the same as deliberately murdering me."
Marquis Wenyuan took a strong medicine and was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.
Ji Changqing became even more confident.
"My Lord, you vomited blood after taking just one sip, and you still think this medicine is non-toxic?"
