Nanshan Courtyard was quiet at this moment, and all the guards, maids and nannies in the courtyard dared not utter a sound.
Those concubines and mistresses who had heard the news and were watching from outside the courtyard could only stand at a distance with their own thoughts, not daring to come closer.
General Xie's imposing presence was not something an ordinary person could withstand.
"Then how do you explain her poisoning? I just asked her, and this Granny Yang hasn't been anywhere else since she went to Mingxiang Pavilion."
"Father, you actually suspect your daughter of doing such a harmful thing?" Xie Lingqin's eyes widened suddenly, her voice trembling with emotion. "Your daughter wouldn't even step on an ant, how could she do such a vicious thing?"
“Yes, General, Miss is kind-hearted and would never poison anyone. Besides, Miss has no grudge against Granny Yang, so why would she want to poison her?” Zihe chimed in to defend her.
General Xie's brows furrowed even more as he looked at Xie Lingqin's appearance.
“Miss, I don’t think Master suspects you. It’s just that all of this is too coincidental. Just yesterday, when you were staying at Mingxiang Pavilion, Granny Yang twisted her ankle, and the pebble came about in a strange way.” Seeing this, the second concubine immediately seized the opportunity to chime in.
Xie Lingqin looked at her second aunt with gratitude, "I feel much more at ease knowing that you trust me so much, second aunt."
These words are sincere.
I don't believe you at all.
These were the words that the second concubine desperately wanted to say.
"Reporting to the General, this is poison found in the corner of the wall in the young lady's courtyard." At this moment, a guard walked in quickly from outside the courtyard and presented a small bottle in his hand.
Xie Lingqin's expression changed slightly.
Therefore, this father secretly sent people to search her courtyard when she and Zihe arrived here.
Out of the corner of her eye, Xie Lingqin caught a glimpse of the smug look in her second aunt's eyes.
---Aside---
What to do, what to do? How can Xiao Qin'er save herself?
