"Meet Dad!"
Ni Yueshan bowed respectfully.
Ni Gaofei glanced at the two people kneeling on the ground and the burnt thorns.
"What's going on?"
Ni Yueshan reported, "There is poison on the thorns. The properties of the poison are the same as the one that Concubine Tian was poisoned with. The thorns were prepared by Concubine Tian's people and put on Concubine Tian's back."
"So the thorns were on Aunt Tian's back. Under her nose, the people in my yard had no chance to poison her!"
Ni Gaofei frowned, "Are you saying this is another self-directed, self-perpetrated scheme?"
"At the moment, yes!"
Ni Gaofei was silent. Tian You's methods were always decisive and sharp, so how could it be so simple?
He stroked the jade ring on his thumb, feeling suspicious.
Seeing that Ni Gaofei didn't say anything, Ni Yueshan said, "The poison here is the same as the one Aunt Tian was poisoned with. That's enough to explain everything!"
The most favorable evidence!
Ni Gaofei looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, "What's going on with them?"
"I suspected that Aunt Tian was poisoned not by the bowl of water, but by something else, so I thought of the thorns... Then I went to look for them with Ren Mei, and saw the two of them burning."
Ni Gaofei looked at the two and asked, "Who ordered you two to burn the thorns?"
The two knelt on the ground and trembled: "Master, yes, it's the Third Miss!"
Ni Yingying?
Does this matter really have anything to do with her?
Ni Gaofei frowned, and Ni Yueshan also frowned. Could it be that Ni Yingying really poisoned Tian You and dragged Ni Yueshan into the water to kill two birds with one stone?
"Let her come over!"
The servants brought a stool and placed it in the yard. Ni Yueshan stood aside. Not long after, Ni Yingying came over and saluted respectfully to Ni Gaofei: "Greetings, father!"
"But you ordered them to burn the bush?"
"Daddy, I'm innocent! Why would I burn that thing?"
Ni Yingying flatly denied it, and Ni Gaofei became a little depressed.
They are all little devils, telling lies with open eyes, and each one is better than the other in his ability to quibble.
Why didn’t I realize before that they are so good at acting?
Ni Gaofei questioned, "Then why do they say it was you who ordered it?"
Ni Yingying glanced at the servant kneeling beside her and frowned, "Isn't this person from my eldest sister's courtyard? Why doesn't my daughter give orders to her courtyard instead of her own?"
Ni Yueshan didn't recognize everyone around him, so he was surprised when Ni Yingying said this.
Her people?
Ni Yueshan looked at Ren Mei: "Are these two people from my yard?"
"Looks familiar! Like!"
Ren Mei never paid much attention to anything, and she didn't usually interact with other people, so she really didn't know the details.
As for Ni Yueshan, he had no contact with her and had no idea about it.
"Sister, stop pretending. Don't you know the people in your own yard? I know them all!"
Ni Yingying gave Ni Yueshan a disdainful look, thinking that Ni Yueshan was pretending to be innocent!
Ni Yueshan crossed her chest with her hands in frustration. It was really interesting that they had chosen two people who rarely showed up in her yard to burn thorns. After she discovered the poison, she tested it and found that it was indeed the same poison. She concluded that there was something wrong with the thorns and that Tian You was using a torture trick.
Now it seems that things are not that simple...
"Master, it's true that we belong to the eldest lady's courtyard. We burned the thorns because a maid told us that the third lady ordered the servants to burn the thorns!"
"The thorns were taken off at Jidong Pavilion at that time. There's nothing wrong with letting us from Jidong Pavilion burn the thorns!"
Ni Gaofei sat on the armchair and glared at the two of them: "So, you didn't see the Third Young Miss, and someone else ordered you to do something in her name?"
"Yes!"
Ni Gaofei figured out what was going on and looked at Ni Yueshan.
Ni Yueshan was depressed. All this meant that her people followed Ni Yingying's instructions to burn thorns, but she and Ren Mei discovered it and came directly to Ni Gaofei!
So Ni Yingying flatly denied it, saying that she did not give any instructions. Maybe she really did not give any instructions, or maybe someone else falsely conveyed Ni Yingying's meaning and deliberately made people mistakenly think it was Ni Yingying.
How much does it seem like all of this is pointing fingers at her?
"Dad, I understand what's going on!"
Everyone looked towards the archway of the courtyard. Ni Hongbo was standing not far away, and it was obvious that he had been listening for a long time.
He heard the whole thing.
Ni Yueshan didn't say anything, so Ni Gaofei asked, "What do you understand?"
"These two servants were actually acting under Yue Shan's orders, but they thought it was Third Sister. In fact, it had nothing to do with Third Sister. It was just Yue Shan who framed her. I didn't expect Yue Shan to be so scheming."
"The thorns are poisonous, so Yueshan had them burned deliberately to draw attention. This proved that the thorns were poisonous, and also proved that the poison came from me, not Ni Yueshan!"
"But Yueshan seemed to have miscalculated. I also suspected that there was something wrong with the thorns, so I went to check. The burnt thorns on the ground were not carried by my little mother! This was arranged by Ni Yueshan herself! The real bundle of thorns is in my hands!"
He looked behind him and saw a servant coming towards him dragging thorns.
Everyone looked over and saw that the two bundles of thorns were almost the same weight, so it was difficult to tell which one Tian You had carried.
Ni Hongbo continued to explain, "Everyone is confused. Why can I be so sure that the bundle I brought was carried by my mother? Because my mother's back is covered in blood! So there must be blood on the thorns too!"
Ni Gaofei narrowed his eyes and glanced down at the thorns.
Because blood is not very obvious, if there is blood on the thorns, you need to look carefully to find it.
