Chapter 455 Brother, She is Not a Bad Woman
"Poison?" Shen Zishan was stunned for a moment, his face was very ugly, "How dare you? Even if our Shen family is not on good terms with your Qiao family, it has nothing to do with Lingyi, a girl. How can you..."
Shen Zishan was so angry. Even though he knew that Lingyi was a dangerous bad woman and even though he knew that she dared to kill Jingxin, Lingyi was not a monk like Jingxin who was ignored by everyone. She was the legitimate daughter of the Shen family.
How dare Qiao Wanyan?
Qiao Wanyan was not frightened by Chen Zishan's anger, and said as a matter of course: "You haven't forgotten that you and your sister have offended me, right? So what if I poisoned your sister? If you have the guts, go to the capital and sue me."
"You!" Chen Zishan said angrily, "Don't think I don't dare!"
Qiao Wanyan raised her eyebrows slightly, "I advise you to keep your mouth shut. If any word gets out, don't blame me for letting your sister bleed to death."
After saying this, he turned and left.
Chen Zishan was furious but didn't dare to offend her at this time. Looking at Chen Lingyi who had fainted, he immediately picked her up and planned to go back to Beijing overnight to find a doctor to check on her.
Qiao Wanyan took a temporary rest in the Main Hall, where she was accompanied by several ladies from the capital.
Qiao Wanyan didn't know them, but they came over and greeted her politely.
"You are Miss Qiao, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, right? I have heard of your name for a long time. I am the wife of the Vice Minister of Personnel."
Qiao Wanyan nodded slightly, "Mrs. Zhang, you are too polite. It is fate that we met. But the fire today is really not a good thing."
The wife of the Minister of Personnel was a little surprised, "You know me?"
Qiao Wanyan smiled but said nothing. Of course she didn't know, but she knew that the Minister of Personnel's surname was Zhang.
Madam Zhang sighed, "No wonder those ladies often say that if they could have a daughter like the Second Miss, they would die without regrets. Madam Qiao is really envied. Did the Second Miss come alone?"
Qiao Wanyan nodded and said, "The Tenth Princess is going to hold a summer banquet, so I came to the National Temple to pray for her safety and happiness as a gift. But I never thought that I would encounter such a thing as a fire in the National Temple."
Everyone in the capital knows that the Tenth Princess is now favored by the Emperor. The Penglai Tower she opened is the most prosperous restaurant in the capital, and even people from other countries come to visit.
For such a princess of noble status, her best friend is the second lady of the Qiao family.
Several ladies were talking to her, and the young ladies were deeply moved when they saw their mothers talking respectfully and politely to Qiao Wanyan, who was about the same age as them.
In his heart, he envied people of the same age who could deal with the elders so familiarly and considerately. He also admired the most noble lady in the capital, whom he had no chance to meet. Now that he had seen her in person, he found her so beautiful and gentle that he subconsciously wanted to get close to her.
The fire appears to be out, but there are still some sparks that need to be thoroughly cleaned up.
Abbot Huihe arrived at this time, said some polite words and asked someone to arrange for the guests to stay in a safe Zen room temporarily.
At this time, a young monk ran over in a hurry and almost fell down when he entered the main hall.
"Abbot, something bad has happened!"
Abbot Huihe whispered, "Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
The little monk ran out of breath, "Jingxin, Jingxin hanged himself!"
As soon as these words came out, the ladies gasped, their faces full of surprise and fear. The women in the backyard had also seen those dirty things, but those dirty things could not come to them.
Now hearing that Jingxin, who was once admired by everyone, committed suicide by hanging, I really can't calm down for a long time.
Although it is pitiful, it is really his own fault. He even deceived the emperor and deceived his superiors.
Qiao Wanyan was naturally frightened as well, but not as frightened as those young ladies.
Another young monk came running over and said, "Abbot, I found a tinder stick stained with oil in Jingxin's meditation room. Not only that, there was oil underneath Jingxin's robe as well."
Someone exclaimed, "Could it be that Jingxin started this fire? The fire started from the small kitchen in Abbot Huihe's Zen room. If the fire had not been put out in time and it was midnight, the abbot would have been trapped and burned to death in the Zen room!"
"It must be like this. Who else in this temple has the reason to do this except Jingxin? He must be seeking revenge and unwilling to see his position as abbot gone, so before he dies he wants to drag everyone in the temple to be buried with him!"
"Such a vicious person actually served as abbot for several years. This really pollutes the Buddha's eyes!"
"Fortunately, the fire was put out in time and Abbot Huihe was a light sleeper, otherwise he would have fallen into that trap!"
Qiao Wanyan listened to the monks' words with a face full of fear. That's right, that's it. Adding insult to injury is like adding insult to injury. Where there are people, there are disputes. I have been dissatisfied for a long time and finally have the opportunity to step on someone. How can I bear it without saying a word?
That's human nature.
For a dead person who cannot be refuted, the dirtiest water should be thrown out.
Anyway, the monks’ slanderous remarks are reasonable.
Anyone who hears this will first think of agreement rather than doubt.
From Jingxin's accident to her suicide now, all of this has nothing to do with me.
Chen Zishan returned to Beijing overnight, and when he arrived in the capital, the sun was already rising in the east.
Instead of returning home in time, he went directly to the doctor's house. After a careful investigation, Shen Zishan found that Shen Lingyi did not have any symptoms of poisoning.
Not only that, the pulse was very normal, and there was no other abnormality except for asthma.
Chen Zishan didn't believe it. It was obvious that Chen Lingyi had fainted and had not woken up since then. No matter how he called her, she would not wake up. How could everything be normal?
But after consulting several doctors, the results were the same. He became more and more worried that Qiao Wanyan had given his sister a strange poison that was difficult for ordinary doctors to detect.
Beside her, there is a medical genius who is famous throughout Kyushu.
But Shen Zishan was indeed overthinking. Qiao Wanyan was planning to kill Shen Lingyi directly, and she didn't poison him at all. She just used some knockout drugs made by Yun Yao herself, which would dissipate soon.
After such a long time, it is naturally impossible to notice it, but the person just can't wake up.
When Shen Lingyi woke up, she found that she was supposed to be in the National Temple but had returned home, and her brother was standing by her bed with a worried look on his face.
"Lingyi? You finally woke up!"
Shen Lingyi sat up, "Brother, what's wrong with me? Why am I at home?"
Chen Zishan did not answer her, "Lingyi, you have to promise your brother one thing, stay away from Qiao Wanyan and don't get close to her. She is not a good person, and if you stay with her, you will only be schemed against and nothing will be left!"
Shen Lingyi frowned slightly, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Although Qiao Wanyan is a little arrogant, she is not a bad person at heart."
Shen Lingyi looked very serious, and Shen Zishan was so angry at her that he almost couldn't breathe.
