Fortunately, Liu Yun had already analyzed how to deal with any kind of powerful opponent. At this moment, He Yi's wrist flipped quickly, and a dagger in her hand was drawn from its sheath with a whoosh.
The dagger, gleaming coldly, was already pressed against Wang Er's throat.
"ah!"
Wang Er seemed to have never dreamed that Zheng Heyi was so capable. He was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, and he froze on the spot, pale and stiff. Lin Shi did not have time to leave. She wanted to observe Heyi truly "suffering a loss" before she would leave.
Little did she know that at that moment, He Yi suddenly jumped up and almost killed Wang Er. She was so shocked that she took a step back: "Zheng He Yi, you, you... you're not drunk?!"
He Yi slowly stood up. "I'm a great-aunt who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Your tricks are more than enough to deal with others. If you want to deal with me, you're just dreaming."
Having said that, He Yi quickly tidied her messy hair, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips as she stared intently at Lin Shi.
"Auntie, you've gone to so much trouble to prepare such a big surprise for me." As she said this, He Yi's cold gaze swept over Wang Er's stormy face. "You actually meant it?"
[I knew it! So the villainous female supporting character wasn't drunk after all! She actually knew about the Lin family's schemes all along!]
[A dagger! He Yi actually hid a dagger!]
[Hahaha, the Lin family is dumbfounded now! Serves you right for scheming!]
Just then, a series of messy and chaotic footsteps came from outside the door.
Hearing the footsteps, Madam Lin felt a chill run down her spine and turned to look at the door. Qingju had already led a group of people toward the woodshed, and the person in the lead was none other than the sickly Minister Zheng.
Zheng Heyi had previously reminded Qingju to visit the master. When Qingju arrived, she parroted the story of how Madam Lin had taken Heyi away.
After hearing Qingju's words, Minister Zheng naturally couldn't sit still. He immediately ordered Qingju to find a servant, who then carried a soft couch to Minister Zheng's place.
Standing behind Minister Zheng, Zheng Yu was furious, his face turning ashen. He kicked the door open and, seeing the scene before him, roared, "Aunt Lin, what are you doing?!"
Upon seeing this, Wang Er was terrified and collapsed to the ground. Lin Shi's face also turned deathly pale at that moment. She had made the false accusation first, clearly wanting to gain the upper hand so she could further slander Zheng Heyi.
Lin hurriedly pointed at He Yi, muttering incoherently, "My lord, please let me explain. This matter has nothing to do with me. It's Zheng He Yi, it's her, she insisted on..."
Minister Zheng was trembling with rage, his anger rising to a fever pitch. "I know He Yi's character perfectly well, but you..." Minister Zheng, enraged and ashamed, pointed at Madam Lin: "You scheming, venomous woman! She's still half your daughter!"
"How dare you use such despicable means to scheme against Sui'er in your own home!" Immediately, Minister Zheng glared fiercely at Wang Er, who was slumped on the ground. "Seize this adulterer! Take him to the authorities right now!"
Minister Zheng arrived just in time!
[The Lin family, mother and daughter, are finished! Hahaha, so satisfying!]
[Wang Er's cowardly behavior clearly shows he was being instructed.]
Hearing the commotion, Zheng Yutang rushed over. Seeing the scene before her, she became anxious and hurriedly knelt down to kowtow to Minister Zheng.
She knew that she had to frame Zheng Heyi right now, otherwise she and her mother would be in trouble. Immediately, Zheng Yutang shouted in a sharp voice, "Father! That's not how it is! It's Zheng Heyi who wants to use Wang Er to frame me and Mother!"
He Yi interrupted her, sneered, and walked up to Wang Er in a few steps.
"Hey! I don't want to kill you, but if you want to die, then go ahead and spout nonsense and go along with it," He Yi chuckled frivolously, using his dagger to lift Wang Er's chin and looking into Wang Er's eyes as if it were a joke.
"Speak, who instructed you to come to the Minister's residence and hide in this woodshed to plot against me? Your conspiracy is far too blatant; you're practically telling me you're going to get me."
Indeed, Minister Zheng is now nearing the end of his life, and in Lin's view, it could be arranged casually, but little did she know that things would take an unexpected turn...
Wang Er was also terrified, his legs trembling as he pointed at Madam Lin: "It was her! Madam Lin gave me fifty taels of silver to defile the princess! She said she would give me another fifty taels after it was done!"
The truth is out! Wuhu!
[Zheng Yutang still wants to argue? Her face is swollen from being slapped!]
[Fifty taels bought someone's innocence; now the evidence is irrefutable!]
Lin screamed and collapsed to the ground, weeping and wailing.
Zheng Yutang, standing next to her, looked ashen-faced.
Minister Zheng looked at the two of them, his eyes filled with disappointment. He roared angrily, "Zheng Yutang, I've raised you for over ten years, and this is how you repay me?!"
Zheng Yutang was terrified. She had just been explaining, but now she was frightened. She kept blinking at her mother. Although she was trying to wink, Lin was obviously also frightened.
Minister Zheng flew into a rage, shouting, "Guards! Lock up Concubine Lin and Zheng Yutang! No one is allowed to visit them without my order!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zheng Yutang immediately knelt down before Zheng Yu, "Brother, please say something for us! Father is going to imprison us now."
Zheng Yu said expressionlessly, "During this period, you have sent things to Sun Sanlang from the manor many times. I have caught you twice and warned you each time. What did you say to me, Aunt? You said you would know when to stop, but little did you know that your arrogance would only get worse. It's outrageous."
Lin's face changed, and she began to sob, but she dared not say anything.
Zheng Yutang grabbed Zheng Yu's clothes, "Brother, Mother made a mistake. Mother was confused for a moment."
Minister Zheng coldly said, "Since it's just a momentary lapse of judgment, let her remain confused. What are you all standing there for? Are you ignoring my orders?"
Zheng Yu glanced at He Yi, and the two exchanged knowing smiles.
Seeing that He Yi was unharmed, Zheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief and approached her. "Sui'er, everything is alright now." He Yi quickly put away the dagger and bowed to her father. Her sharp black eyes glared at the Lin mother and daughter who were lying on the ground, her gaze calm.
Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the meaningful smile on her lips. In this play, she was not only an audience member, but also the director.
The atmosphere in the room was tense. Zheng Yutang was still slumped on the ground, her face covered in colorful rouge, making her look extremely grotesque. Lin Shi looked at the guards approaching from the left and right and was immediately shocked.
Knowing the situation was hopeless, she drew out her words and began to argue desperately, spitting as she spoke. Just as everyone was at a stalemate, Zheng Yu stepped forward coldly.
