Chapter 80: Sacrificing the Rook to Save the King? The Scumbag Father Wants to Divorce Aunt Sun
Aunt Sun was so frightened by this look that she fell to her knees and cried out, "Master, I am innocent!"
Xie Zhi also knelt down with her mother and looked at Xie Yan: "Yan'er, mother... Auntie's love for father is evident to all. How could you say that about her? This must be a deliberate frame-up."
"I swear to heaven that if anyone harbors any intention to harm my uncle, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
Aunt Sun knelt down at Xie Ming'an's feet, pointed one finger to the sky and swore an oath, tears falling like beads from a broken string.
Xie Mingan lowered his head, staring at her, breathing heavily: "Still there, quibbling!"
Aunt Sun looked around, hugged Xie Ming'an's thighs, and cried bitterly.
"Master, Zhizhi is right. Someone must be trying to frame me. Master is my heaven in the Xie family. He is my support for survival. I have no reason to harm you."
Xie Mingan raised his leg and kicked her hard.
Because he exerted too much force, he suddenly couldn't breathe. Nanny Zhu stroked his chest to calm him down, but he still pointed at her with eyes as cold as a poisonous snake.
"Master, I really didn't..."
Aunt Sun got up, her hair disheveled, she secretly protected her belly, knelt on the ground and cried, looking so pitiful.
A noble lady couldn't bear to see this and said, "Master, Sun is right. She is fine, why would she harm you? I'm afraid there must be some misunderstanding."
Madam He shook her head. "Didn't they say that this cunning servant poisoned the fish slices? At the banquet, I saw her standing behind Madam Sun the entire time. If it weren't for Madam Sun's order, she, a servant, wouldn't have dared to do that."
The second wife suddenly remembered that Aunt Sun had used a knife to kill someone before, and secretly instigated her two sons to go to the stable and compete with Xie Yao for riding horses.
Then he thought of Aunt Sun, who had broken one of her eldest son's legs.
"Mrs. He is right. Everyone in the Bo Mansion knows that Nanny Liu was a maid that Sun brought with her from her mother's family as a dowry. She has always been doing things for her. Whatever Nanny Liu did must have been ordered by her."
Hatred suddenly rose in her heart, and she echoed Mrs. He's words.
"Shut up! You're talking nonsense! Everyone knows that if anything happens to Master Bo, your family will take over. Maybe it's you and Master Er who framed me!"
Aunt Sun did not dare to refute Madam He, but directly scolded the second wife.
Master Xie rushed forward and said, "Brother, I can swear to heaven that this matter has nothing to do with me!"
"Second Master, your words are nice, but why did you remain motionless when Uncle was unconscious just now? Aren't you hiding something?"
"You—if I was the one who poisoned him, why would I obey the Second Young Lady's orders and protect the table full of irrefutable evidence?"
Seeing that the two were about to argue, Pu Wei couldn't help but speak up for Xie Yao: "Auntie Sun has the keys to the household, and the disaster-repelling tea leaves were taken from the storehouse she manages. If she wants to use some trickery, it would be easy."
"The master is speaking, how can a lowly servant like you have the right to interrupt?" Aunt Sun roared.
Xie Mingan said intermittently: "The key to the house is in your hand, and you took out the tea... What else do you have to say?"
Aunt Sun burst into tears and said, "Master, it is because everyone knows that I hold the key to the household that I was framed."
"Not to mention that I would never harm Master Bo, even if I wanted to poison him, why would I do it at a family dinner? So blatant, taking such a big risk, I'm not that stupid!"
After hearing Aunt Sun's explanation, everyone present had different expressions.
She was right. As a concubine in the Earl's mansion, she had no reason to harm the Earl, especially at a family dinner.
Even Xie Mingan thought about it carefully and his eyes were filled with confusion.
He thought of the poisonous fish sashimi and secretly glanced at the silent Xu Susu. His brain felt a sharp pain and he vaguely felt that he had overlooked something, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
"Although this move is risky, it has the best chance of success."
Xie Yao said slowly, just right to interrupt Xie Mingan's deep thoughts.
"At the banquet, only my mother, father, and I ate the sashimi and drank tea. My mother is already weak, so if she was poisoned, no one would have noticed the connection between the food and the tea."
"Hasn't Aunt always regarded me as a thorn in her side? So, while harming my mother, she also took the opportunity to let me die suddenly."
"And as the host of the family dinner, he was the first to drink tea. If he died, the first person others would suspect would be my second uncle."
Mr. Xie nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, the Second Miss is very perceptive. How dare my younger brother harm my eldest brother!"
Anger rekindled in Xie Mingan's eyes.
Aunt Sun was dumbfounded: "No, I... Am I crazy? I poisoned the three of you in public?! I didn't, I——"
Before she could speak again, Sang Ruo suddenly stood up and pointed at Madam Liu again.
"If Auntie didn't have any, why was Madam Liu sneaking around outside while the other maids were making tea? Why would Ming'er, a maid in your courtyard, point out Madam Liu?"
Her voice of questioning echoed throughout the hall.
"She tried to enter the tea room time and again. If this servant hadn't been following Madam Bo's orders, and according to our ancestors' rules that the tea for dispelling disasters must not be disturbed, and hadn't been standing guard outside the room, I wonder if she would have poisoned everyone at the table!"
Cui'er, the tea-making maid, said hurriedly, "Yes, I also saw Madam Liu trying to break into the tea room while she was making tea. Fortunately, Miss Sang Ruo stopped her!"
Madam He cried out in horror, "Auntie Sun, not only are you going to harm Master Bo, you're also going to let this old rascal kill all of us?"
Everyone stared at Aunt Sun and Madam Liu, and they were still frightened at the thought that they almost died at the hands of this master and servant.
Nanny Liu fell to the ground limply. Under Xie Yao's cold gaze, she didn't even dare to refute.
“Bang!”
Xie Zhi suddenly jumped up and slapped Madam Liu hard.
"You old bastard, tell me, why did you kill your father? Why did you put the blame on your mother? Who bribed you?"
"Old slave, how dare this old slave——"
Nanny Liu was beaten so badly that there was a clear purple bruise on her face and blood was oozing from the corner of her mouth.
Xie Zhi's slap also woke up Aunt Sun. She met Xie Ming'an's extremely angry eyes and suddenly turned to Matron Liu.
"I deserve to die. I didn't know this old man was so vicious and cruel. I didn't discipline my subordinates well. I beg for punishment, sir." She said sternly.
At this point, I have no choice but to weigh the pros and cons and let this slave take the blame.
Nanny Liu was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and looked intently at Aunt Sun and Xie Zhi.
Have I become the abandoned child of this mother and daughter?
"You, you... Auntie, I am your dowry nanny and have always been loyal to you!"
Aunt Sun's voice sank. "You servant, I've treated you well. Back then, seeing you were old and pitiful, I arranged a job for your nephew and gave you gold and silver jewelry. I wasted my sincerity, letting you dare to murder my uncle, and now you dare to bite me!"
Nanny Liu's face was pale and her lips were trembling.
Hearing this, everyone present showed a playful expression as if they were watching a show.
They are not fools, how could they not see that Aunt Sun was sacrificing the car to save the king?
"What does father think?"
Seeing that Xie Ming'an had regained his breath, Xie Yao immediately threw the question to him.
Xie Mingan had difficulty breathing and started coughing violently, and it took him a long time to recover.
He cherishes his life more than anyone else.
And he is not a fool.
Therefore, he now wished to kill Aunt Sun and Madam Liu.
"Do you think Ben Bo will believe it?"
Xie Mingan asked gloomily, enunciating each word.
"Today, I will divorce you, this vicious woman."
