Chapter 158 The scumbag dad lost his composure, is there hope?
Xu Susu held the ice handkerchief that Rendong had applied to her with one hand, turned around slowly, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"You all saw it, right? This is the Xie family's Patriarch. He's full of nonsense, accusing right and wrong without a single piece of evidence. I'm your wife, a second-rank imperial consort, bestowed upon me by His Majesty. How can you frame me like that?"
Bai Mi also put his knowledge into practice and interrupted Second Miss Xie.
"Bearer Wenchang slandered the princess's mother, which is equivalent to slandering the princess. Slandering the princess is disrespectful to the prince. He dared to hit the imperial concubine today, so will he dare to disobey the imperial decree tomorrow? One person slanders the entire Xie family, and they are no different from him."
The elders of the clan who had just helped Xie Mingan to accuse Xu Susu immediately changed their expressions and attitudes when they heard what Xu Susu and Bai Mi said. Some of them even started to persuade Xie Mingan.
"It was Earl Wenchang who beat the lady. It has nothing to do with us."
"Madam, please calm down. Your Highness, please calm down. Your Highness has also become confused and anxious."
"Yes, to punish the inner chamberlain, evidence is required. Without evidence, how can we talk about whether to take back the inner chamberlain's gifts? Master, please don't damage the harmony of the family."
"Ming'an, it's not too late to make a final decision after Lord Du, the Jingzhao Yin, arrives."
Xie Mingan turned around and glared at the uncles who were changing their attitudes according to the situation. "Evidence, evidence...Sun Yaoling, hurry up and find evidence for me. Check Aunt Sun's food carefully. Quick!"
"Master, you are right. I will check it right away!"
Sun Yaoling's heart tightened and he quickly responded.
On the surface, he was taking out silver needles from the medicine box and preparing to try the food on the table.
Xie Yao's cold and sharp gaze had already fallen on him, and she deliberately remained silent.
There was nothing incompatible in the food at the banquet, and my mother prepared it perfectly.
The food on Aunt Sun’s table was definitely not poisonous.
Fang'er, who originally wanted to stand up and identify her mother, was locked up in the woodshed by her.
Without evidence, Xie Mingan was already at a loss.
He could only let Sun Yaoling take the initiative.
"Wait a minute!"
Just when Sun Yaoling returned to Aunt Sun's table and was about to examine it, Xie Yao finally spoke.
Give him hope, then cut off his hope.
Sun Yaoling paused, his hands shaking violently, and he stammered, "What are your wishes, Princess Wang?"
Xie Mingan's forehead was covered in sweat and his eyes were irritable and restless.
Almost, just a little bit——
Xie Yao walked forward slowly, caught a glimpse of the silver needle in Sun Yaoling's hand, and said calmly, "Imperial Physician Sun said before that he was good at gynecology. When did he become proficient in poison detection and be able to pull out a silver needle anytime, anywhere?"
Xie Mingan said, "What do you know? Sun Yaoling is the imperial physician in the palace, so he is naturally cautious. Even so, he can't guard against the vicious hands of some people. It really makes me terrified."
"Lord Wenchang is so knowledgeable. Why don't you go and serve in the palace?" Xie Yao rolled her eyes at him.
"Mrs. Sun hasn't gotten scared yet, but Master Bo is getting scared first. Don't wait for Dr. Zhou to come. He needs to check your brain first."
"you--!"
Xie Ming'an was already anxious when he saw that Prince Jingbei's men had gone to invite the Jingzhao Yin. When he heard Xie Yao mention the Imperial Physician Zhou, his expression became even uglier.
Xiao Yizi said: "Since you are not a proper poison examiner, don't make any moves here."
"Yes," Bai Su agreed, "Auntie Sun is your biological daughter. You should avoid suspicion in this matter. How could you conduct a poison test yourself? If someone didn't know, they would think you were trying to frame her!"
Sun Yaoling's face turned pale. "Don't spit bloody words at me. As a doctor and my aunt's father, I naturally want justice for my daughter!"
Bai Mi: "Then you should wait for Dr. Zhou to come and check together, so as to avoid misdiagnosing your daughter."
Sun Yaoling wanted to say something, but when he saw Bai Mi take out his sword, he didn't dare to refute anymore. He could only stand there, feeling torn.
Aunt Sun cried out "ouch" repeatedly and tugged at his clothes. She didn't care much about which dish was poisonous. What she cared about more was the fetus in her belly.
"Father, what happened to me...my child..."
Sun Yaoling had no choice but to continue treating Aunt Sun, and whispered to comfort her, saying that she was not out of danger yet, but she didn't have to be afraid as long as he was there.
The sweat on Xie Mingan's forehead was getting more and more.
Jingzhao Prefecture is not far from the Bo Mansion, and no one knows when Imperial Physician Zhou will arrive. If he can't find "evidence", not only will he not be able to take back the food, but the incident of him beating Xu will be brought to Du Yutang, and that damn girl Xie Yao will definitely not let him go.
He stared at Sun Yaoling, his eyes full of urging.
Even Aunt Sun noticed his gaze, her heart moved, and something flashed through her mind, but her attention was quickly distracted by the pain in her abdomen.
Sun Yaoling was being watched by Xie Yao and Bai Mi, and he couldn't find an opportunity to take action, so he could only worry.
At this time, footsteps were heard at the gate of the courtyard.
"I brought my sister, my father, my mother, and the people in the kitchen with me."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xie Yan walking in front, followed by several royal guards and palace security guards, escorting a group of servants.
Xie Mingan saw Fang'er among the servants at a glance, his eyes lit up instantly, and the heavy stone in his heart fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Fang'er came.
As long as she points out Xu, everything will be fine.
As for the evidence, Fang'er only needs to admit that she poisoned the woman, and the poison was naturally eaten by Aunt Sun!
Madam Xie put aside her old face and said, "Your Highness, this is a family matter, no matter how big or small. You and that...Princess are also family. It is better to let the uncle ask before Lord Du arrives. In case it is really a family member who has done something shameful, it will not be exposed to the public.
The prince glanced at his princess quietly, but didn't see any instructions. Instead, he saw the palace guards following his brother-in-law in.
"Ask, I'm really curious, what other scandals have your Xie family committed?"
Xiao Yizi's tone was curious, while the other members of the Xie family had extremely ugly expressions, and they dared to be angry but not to speak.
Xie Yan walked to Xie Yao's side and saw Xu Susu covering her face with a handkerchief, his eyes turned cold.
"My mother is a second-rank lady. How could my father humiliate her like this for a concubine?" He said in a deep voice, his eyes falling on Aunt Sun, a faint light flashing in his eyes.
Xie Mingan regained his dignity and said, "I was just impulsive. Besides, when is it your turn to teach me a lesson in the Wenchang Marquis's Mansion?"
He was originally very pleased to see Xie Yan bringing Fang'er, but when he saw that his son stood on the side of Xu Susu and Xie Yao as soon as he arrived, he immediately felt dissatisfied.
After all, he is a son with half Xu family blood. He used to be a playboy, but at least he was obedient. Now that Xie Yao is back, he has completely lost sight of his father. He is just like Xie Yao, an ungrateful person who can never be tamed.
It’s a pity that when he reached middle age, only Aunt Sun could give birth to his second son.
Jiang Si, the head of the guards, stepped forward and questioned the servants, "Who was responsible for Aunt Sun's meal today? Tell me the truth, who tampered with the food?"
As he spoke, he noticed Fang'er trembling like a sieve.
"What's wrong with that servant? Why is she hiding behind and cowering like that?" Xie Ming'an pointed at Fang'er and yelled.
