Chapter 349: Which is more important?
Everyone present focused their attention on Ye Shixian.
If there is really something wrong with the flower tea, then...
"No more." Ye Shixian said.
Zhang Qian frowned: "Gone? What does this mean?"
Ye Shixian explained, "Mr. Murong did send me a bag of scented tea before. I brewed it every day and drank most of it. The rest I gave to my mother. But she didn't like the taste of the scented tea very much and only drank it once in a while. Everyone in the mansion can testify to this."
There was no need for her to lie about such a small matter, but——
"What about the pot of scented tea she drank yesterday?" Zhang Qian asked.
Ye Shixian slowly lowered her head and glanced at the maid: "She is the one who takes care of mother's daily diet. You might as well ask her directly about this question."
The maid huddled up in a ball, then cried, "I drank a few sips of the tea, then I washed it and put it away."
Zhang Qian's heart sank!
Even if there is something wrong with the scented tea, there is no way to find out now!
Seeing his unhappy expression, Ye Shixian finally felt better and spoke again: "I still have a little bit left. If you suspect that there is something wrong with the tea, I will ask someone to get it."
Zhang Qian no longer had any hope in his heart, but he still waved his hand.
Shaoyao turned and walked out.
Ye Jingyan turned his eyes slightly and looked at Ye Chutang.
At this point, the matter has reached a dead end. It is obvious that no matter how hard we try, we will find nothing.
But - the dirty water on sister's body has not been washed away yet!
What happened today will probably be known to everyone tomorrow. If three people make a tiger, my sister’s reputation will definitely be damaged!
As if noticing his gaze, Ye Chutang turned around and gave him a reassuring look.
Looking at those pair of dark and clear eyes, Ye Jingyan's originally troubled mood seemed to be gently smoothed by an invisible hand, and became calm and stable.
Sister is never one to sit and wait for death!
Shaoyao quickly brought out a soft silk tea bag with delicate patterns embroidered on it with gold thread, which looked very luxurious at first glance.
"Sir, the rest of the tea is here."
Zhang Qian took it, looked it over inside and out, but found nothing unusual.
Ye Chutang didn't care too much about that thing. Since Ye Shixian dared to take it out so openly, it proved that there was no problem.
No wonder she was so bold today and dared to stop her in the street. It turned out that she had been prepared for it.
The most difficult one is Zhang Qian.
If no evidence is found, then we can only conclude that Gao committed suicide. Although the blood letter cannot be used as evidence of death, Ye Shixian has already made it public in front of so many people. I'm afraid Ye Chutang's name will be forever linked to this matter!
If there is no new development later, then... in the future, when everyone thinks of Ye Chutang, they will definitely think of her allegedly forcing her aunt to death!
This was enough to completely destroy her.
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Qian finally said, "There is a lack of evidence in this case, so we cannot file a case."
Ye Shixian's heart finally settled down.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath - this was undoubtedly the best outcome!
Ye Yunfeng was unwilling to let it go: "Sir, Gao's death is obviously unusual, why don't you continue to investigate?"
Zhang Qian pointed at the maid and said, "Let's lock her up first and interrogate her carefully! If we still can't find any new clues after seven days, we'll close the case!"
The little maidservant didn't expect that she was sent to prison just because she was lazy and took a nap. She was so scared that she burst into tears.
"Miss! Miss, please save me! I really didn't do anything!"
Ye Shixian didn't expect that this matter was not over yet, and Zhang Qian would continue to investigate, but she quickly adjusted her expression and did not reveal her feelings. She just looked at the maid and took a half step back in disgust: "Even if you die, you can't repay my mother's life! This is what you deserve!"
The people below quickly took the little maid away.
Zhang Qian's eyes lingered on Ye Chutang and Ye Shixian for a while, and he spoke carefully:
"At this point in time, it seems that this matter cannot be determined to be related to Ye Chutang."
Ye Shixian was anxious: "Sir——"
"How about keeping Gao's body in the funeral cemetery first? If there is still no progress, we can close the case and bury it."
He was obviously speaking to Ye Shixian.
Although it was a question, Ye Shixian could tell that it was not a discussion, but a notification!
She moved her lips, wanting to reject the proposal, but finally nodded: "Everything is up to you, my Lord."
It’s just a matter of waiting a few more days, what’s wrong with that?
This time, even if Ye Chutang cannot be killed, she will definitely be skinned alive!
…
When I got home, it was already dark.
As soon as he stepped into the house, Ye Yunfeng couldn't hold back: "That Ye Shixian is really crazy!"
Ye Chutang glanced at him, and then Ye Yunfeng noticed that Xiaowu was also there, and immediately stopped talking.
Ye Chutang then said to Ye Jingyan: "Ah Yan, take Xiaowu to wash her face first. It's getting late and she should go to bed."
"good."
Ye Jingyan responded and left with Xiaowu in his arms.
It was not until their figures completely disappeared that Ye Yunfeng came to Ye Chutang again, his brows furrowed:
"Sister! She deliberately set a trap for you today! How come you don't react at all? Tomorrow - no, it doesn't have to be tomorrow, I'm afraid that right now, the whole capital will be saying that you forced Gao to death!"
It wouldn't have been a big deal if Gao had died, but since it involves my sister, we have to take this matter seriously!
Who can tolerate being splashed with such dirty water for no reason!
Ye Yunfeng simply couldn't sit still. Whenever he thought of his elder sister being criticized or even cursed, he felt like a fire was about to burst out of his chest!
Ye Chutang sat on the chair and gently pinched his slightly sore shoulders.
I've been running around all day today and I'm really tired.
"I heard from your third brother that you went to see Lord Siye today?"
Ye Yunfeng was stunned.
"Yes... No! It's already this late, why are you still asking this, sister—"
"How was your conversation with him? Did you get the answer you wanted?"
"certainly!"
Ye Yunfeng answered subconsciously, and only realized something after he blurted out his words, and suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Sister, you have already guessed that I—"
Ye Chutang glanced at him lightly: "If I still can't see through your little tricks, then I'm not worthy of being your sister."
Ye Yunfeng felt as if someone had looked at him in a chilling way.
"Actually, Lord Siye didn't answer my question, but I already got the answer... No! That's not important! The most important thing now is that Ye Shixian deliberately framed--"
"Of course it's important."
Ye Chutang interrupted him.
"This matter concerns Huo Yucheng and 80,000 soldiers, and also concerns my father's injustice. Naturally, we must investigate it thoroughly."
"But now, sister, you——"
Ye Chutang tapped the table lightly with his fingers.
"As for today's matter..."
"If she dares to do it, why shouldn't I dare to do it?"
