Chapter 922: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Concubine 64
Yun Ye frowned, "Could it be that someone wanted to harm me, but ended up harming my brother instead? Qingfeng, go arrest that merchant from Qiongzhou and interrogate him thoroughly."
Yun Ting didn't even think that Yun Ye was harming his brother. He nodded in admiration and said, "We need to investigate thoroughly. Take my token and arrest them all. Don't let anyone escape."
"Why aren't you so careless, kid? Someone has poisoned you. I told you that you'd be hated by others sooner or later, but you didn't believe me. Fortunately, the poison can be cured. Otherwise, if you harm your brother, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
Yun Ye said confidently: "Why do people hate me? It's you who holds the military power and has a lot of political enemies! I am also lucky to have a good life and good martial arts skills, otherwise I would have died eight hundred times."
"Dad, you should reflect on yourself. Who did you offend recently? They couldn't handle you, the Duke, so they attacked your son. I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should control your temper and stop hitting people. Not everyone is as magnanimous as me and doesn't bear grudges."
Yun Ting was so angry that he raised his hand to beat up this son of a bitch.
He knew that the merchants certainly didn't have the guts to harm the prince of the Duke's Mansion, and there must be someone behind the scenes directing them. He thought of many candidates, and each of them was a suspicion. Once he had found out the truth, he would definitely avenge his son.
Yun Ye is good at martial arts and has a sharp mind. No one has succeeded in his attack over the years, otherwise he would have really had to see his son die.
Yun Ye raised his arm to block it, muttering, "You only know how to hit me. My brother's fever has subsided, so he should be fine. You are old and weak, go and rest first, I will just stay here and watch over him."
"Mother, you should go back too. Your eyes will get hurt if you cry any more."
Madam Dong really wanted to pry open the Duke's brain to see if it was filled with paste. She had brought the evidence to him, but the Duke didn't even suspect Yun Ye. Had all her eye drops been in vain over the years?
Mrs. Dong was of course unwilling to leave. She wiped her tears and pretended to be worried, "Burn this painting quickly. This poisonous thing has already harmed Can'er, it will not harm Ye'er anymore!"
"The person behind the scenes is really vicious. With such a sophisticated plan, nothing can be found out any later. I naturally believe that Ye'er will not harm his brother. We need to check outside the mansion and inside the mansion. Who sent the things? Whose hands did they pass through?"
"What if this mansion is not clean either? Who knows, it might harm people again in the future. How can I sleep well if I don't investigate it thoroughly?"
Yun Ting thought it would be a good idea to check it out, and soon, several servants were brought over.
Zhou Wang knelt on the ground, trembling, and said, "I am from Yuhua Courtyard. I usually do rough work like sweeping and passing things around. I cannot easily serve the prince."
"The prince wanted to send something to Cuishan Courtyard, and I went to the warehouse to get it and delivered it directly. It definitely did not pass through anyone else's hands. Master, please spare me. How dare I harm the second young master? This thing must have been poisonous when it was placed in the warehouse!"
The manager of the warehouse is highly valued by the prince. He often sees his master and is not afraid of meeting the Duke.
"I have been in charge of the warehouse for more than ten years and have never made a mistake. This set of brushes, ink, paper and inkstone was put into the warehouse the day before yesterday. I have checked it carefully. The rice paper is fine. How could it be poisonous?"
"That is the finest snowflake paper produced in Qiongzhou, as thin as a cicada's wing and as tough as jade. The stack of paper in the Second Young Master's study is obviously not as good as the batch in the warehouse, but it can barely be considered snowflake paper. People who don't know the difference can't tell the difference."
"Perhaps the Second Young Master used other paper to paint. In my humble opinion, Cuishan Courtyard should also conduct a thorough investigation. Perhaps someone is plotting to harm the Second Young Master and is trying to frame our Crown Prince, causing unrest in the inner court."
The other servants of Yuhua Court also cried out for injustice. They were not fools. If this poisonous thing came out of Yuhua Court, what good would they get? Naturally, they tried their best to throw dirty water on Cuishan Court.
Mrs. Dong's hands hidden under her sleeves clenched involuntarily. She really underestimated those servants in Yuhuayuan. They wanted to get rid of Yun Ye with just a few words!
As soon as she glanced at him, Cuiwei immediately said, "I saw it for real. This set of things was placed in the study room when it was delivered. As soon as the second young master came back, he loved it like nothing. He ignored my advice and wanted to paint it overnight, saying that he wanted to give it to the prince."
"If there was no problem when the goods were put into the warehouse, will there be no problem when they are taken out of the warehouse? There are people coming and going in the warehouse, and it is possible that someone has tampered with it!"
Zhou Wang followed closely behind, "I dare not deceive the Duke. In the storehouse in the courtyard, except for the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince's wife, only those who can enter and exit freely are allowed. The servants are counted in and out, and they dare not rummage around at will."
Yun Ting's head was buzzing from the noise, and he didn't want to listen to these servants throwing dirty water at each other anymore. The noise was endless but there was no result.
"That's enough! Stop arguing! Take everyone away and interrogate them individually. What's the point of making so much noise? Tomorrow I want to see confessions that corroborate each other. If anyone says something untrue, send them away. If anyone dares to murder the master, beat them to death!"
Mrs. Dong had been planning for a long time, and it was impossible for it to end so hastily. She said with great sorrow: "I understand! It must be you who instigated it! Although Ye'er was ignorant in the past and liked to play tricks on his brother, he would never poison his brother!"
Mrs. Dong was very smart. She did not scold Yun Ye directly, but instead directed her criticism at Ji Yunhuan.
"You are restless in the Ji family. You rely on your engagement with the Duke's Mansion to beat up your younger sister and disrespect your father. You are unfilial and unfraternal. You are not a good person at all!"
"Yer was completely bewitched by you and obeyed you in everything. It's my fault for being so blind. I shouldn't have agreed to let Yeer marry you in the first place! You must have gone to the storehouse to change the rice paper. You just wanted to harm my Caner!"
"You come from a small family, you have no knowledge, you only know how to play dirty tricks, you have a cruel heart, I think I treat you well and reward you from time to time, why do you want to harm my child... "
Yun Ting felt that Mrs. Dong was just talking nonsense because she was too sad. Ji Yunhuan was such a timid person, how could he dare to hurt others?
He supported Mrs. Dong and comforted her, "You are tired today, go back and rest, I will check it out."
Madam Dong refused to give in. "I won't! My son is unconscious. How can this bitch still be the Crown Prince's consort? She must be divorced!"
Yun Ye was unhappy, "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? This is unfounded. Huan'er is not that kind of person. Besides, what good would it do for her to harm her brother? She doesn't need to do such a thing."
Madam Dong cried, "You were deceived by this bitch! I will not pursue the matter if I divorce her today. We are still mother and son, and we can still live in confusion! You dare to make excuses for him? Do you really need your mother to make it so clear? Once some words are spoken, there is no room for reversal!"
No matter how dumb Yun Ye was, he could hear the hidden meaning behind the words. He looked at Mrs. Dong in disbelief, "Mother, you suspect me? You actually suspect that I harmed my brother!"
