Chapter 146 Did I poison you?
In the front hall, Mrs. Jiang's convulsions became more and more severe. Jiang Jin walked up to her and shouted angrily: "Why don't you call a doctor quickly!"
Jiang Wangshi was about to speak, but Jiang Jin roared at her: "What are you dawdling for? Go get a doctor!" He then glared at Qin Junyi fiercely: "Until the old lady is safe, you two can't leave!"
Qin Junyi looked at Xie Rongying with a complicated look in his eyes.
He subconsciously felt that Xie Rongying would not do such a despicable thing.
What's more, it happened under the eyes of so many people.
He said, "Uncle, please take grandma back to the house first."
Seeing that Qin Junyi's attitude was acceptable, Jiang Jin quickly picked up Madam Jiang and walked towards the side room.
Jiang Wangshi hurriedly followed.
Jiang Zhen stayed behind and said to the second and third wives, "Second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, please see the guests off."
As she spoke, she looked towards Xie Rongying: "Xie, please don't..."
"Aunt, let the guests stay." Xie Rongying interrupted Jiang Zhen. "If we don't get to the bottom of this, rumors will spread throughout Bianjing tomorrow that I, Xie Rongying, poisoned my husband's grandmother."
"What do you mean by 'spread'?" Jiang Zhen looked at Xie Rongying's eyes as if spitting poison: "Isn't this just you poisoning my mother?!"
Xie Rongying smiled faintly: "So Aunt is so sure that it was me who poisoned her?"
"There are so many eyes watching. Is there anyone else besides you?" Jiang Zhang walked over to Jiang Zhen and used the same questioning tone: "Don't say you wouldn't poison someone in front of so many people. After all, everyone would suspect you. It's because you have such thoughts that you dare to poison the old lady so blatantly."
"That's right," Jiang Zhen agreed, "Just like the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. That's how you murdered the old lady."
Xie Rongying listened to what the two men said, and a chill spread deep in her smiling eyes: "So, today's guests, please don't leave for now. It's not too late to leave after we find out the truth."
"Xie Rongying, you still have the nerve to let the guests join you in a commotion after things have gotten this bad?" Qin Junyi pulled Xie Rongying behind him and said to Jiang Zhen, "Aunt, please see the guests off."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhen glanced at Qin Junyi indifferently, then said to the guests who had already stood up, "Everyone, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you today. Let me see you off."
Except for Jiang from the Dongchang Marquis Mansion and Tang from the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, everyone else present began to stand up and say goodbye to Jiang Zhen.
When they walked out of the front hall, they all looked at Xie Rongying with strange eyes.
Jiang Zhen arranged for people to escort the guests out of the gate of Earl Yongqin's Mansion.
After a busy period, he saw that Jiang and Tang were still sitting in their seats and had no intention of leaving. His expression changed slightly, but he didn't dare to order them to leave. Instead, he gave orders to the maids and servants around him.
"All of you keep an eye on Xie Rongying!" Jiang Zhen had heard a lot of strange things about this little girl Xie Rongying from Old Lady Jiang and Mrs. Jiang Wang.
Today she really couldn't believe that Xie Rongying could escape!
"yes!"
As soon as the words fell, the maids and servants around came forward and surrounded Xie Rongying.
At this time, the doctor was dragged to the ear room by a servant.
Xie Rongying glanced indifferently at the maids and old women who surrounded her, and then she sat down calmly.
From the time she arrived at the front hall until Old Mrs. Jiang fell down, she had not sat down. She looked around and saw that Dongxue and Cuizhi were still nowhere to be seen.
It seems that things are a bit tricky today.
Just when Jiang Zhen was about to go to the ear room, she saw Jiang Jin rushing out and walking towards her with a cold face.
"Brother, how is mother?" As soon as Jiang Zhen finished speaking, he heard Jiang Wang's crying from the ear room.
"What happened to mother!?" Jiang Zhen continued to ask.
Jiang Jin pushed Jiang Zhen aside and walked towards Xie Rongying who was surrounded. The maids and servants all made way.
Seeing that Jiang Jin was in a bad mood, Qin Junyi immediately stepped forward to stop Jiang Jin: "Uncle, what's wrong? Grandmother..."
"He's dead!" Jiang Jin stared at Qin Junyi with bloodshot eyes, then pointed at Xie Rongying: "Look at what your wife has done!"
Qin Junyi's expression also changed.
At this moment, Jiang was about to stand up, but was stopped by Tang, who was sitting next to her: "Don't interfere."
Jiang shook off Tang's hand and was about to retort when Tang continued, "It's obvious someone set this up. Are you trying to drag the Shen family into this fire pit with you?"
When Jiang heard about the Shen family, she wanted to stand up, but then sat down again.
At this time, the Jiang family members were in disbelief. The happy event turned into a funeral.
"Evil woman!" Jiang Zhen rushed forward, pushed Qin Junyi aside, and hit Xie Rongying: "Give me back my mother's life!"
Qin Junyi watched Jiang Zhen rush towards Xie Rongying and immediately stepped forward to block Xie Rongying's side. The slap landed hard on his arm. He had not expected Jiang Zhen's strength to be so astonishing. "Auntie, can you please be more rational?"
"Qin Junyi!" Jiang Zhen roared, "What are you doing? Are you protecting the murderer who killed your grandmother?"
Qin Junyi opened his mouth to defend Xie Rongying, but then he thought that during the meal, Xie Rongying was the only one who came into contact with the food that Old Madam Jiang ate, and there could be no other murderer except Xie Rongying.
"Even if she is the murderer, she should be sent to Kaifeng Prefecture." Qin Junyi said finally.
"Get out of here!" Jiang Zhen said coldly.
Under Jiang Zhen's cold gaze, Qin Junyi slowly moved away.
At this time, Xie Rongying also stood up and looked at Jiang Zhen calmly: "The food hasn't been removed yet. Now that the doctor is here, let him see what's wrong."
"Everyone's dead, so what went wrong doesn't matter?" Jiang Zhen gritted her teeth and said coldly, "What matters is that you, the murderer, are still here!"
Jiang Jin also lost his mind: "Come here, arrest this vicious woman. Since ancient times, killing someone means paying with one's life. Even if someone from her Xie family comes, it will be useless! Even if the matter is brought to the attention of the government, this life must be paid with a life!"
As soon as the words fell, the maids around walked towards Xie Rongying.
Xie Rongying's expression was slightly cold: "Let's see who dares!"
The maid who came forward saw Xie Rongying's momentum and stopped moving.
"Does your Jiang family have the final say on Dayin's laws?" Xie Rongying stared at Jiang Jin coldly. "This food belongs to your Jiang family, and the soup bowls and spoons also belong to your Jiang family."
As he spoke, Xie Rongying spread out his hands and even lifted his sleeves slightly.
"Catch the thief and seize the stolen goods. You all say I poisoned the old lady. May I ask where I hid the poison to poison the old lady?" Xie Rongying stared at the people in front of her with cold eyes: "Or are you saying that whatever you say is true?!"
"You're so sure that I poisoned him. What's going on? Are you trying to hide some secret?"
At this time, Jiang Wangshi appeared, pointing at Xie Rongying with tears in her eyes, and said, "Master, send this vicious woman to Kaifeng Prefecture and let Kaifeng Prefecture investigate this matter thoroughly!"
