He Jingheng sneered: "Why should I believe you?"
His words made Qiao Yan, who thought he had the He family in his control, stunned for a moment: "Brother Jingheng..."
"You trusted your first wife, but you trusted a woman who abandoned her family just to have a full meal. Do you think there is something wrong with your brain or with yours?"
"But Shang Ruoyi is clearly lying! Grandmother was clearly poisoned, anyone can see it, but she said she was fine."
Shang Ruoyi stepped forward and sneered, "How can you be so sure that grandma was poisoned?"
"... "Qiao Yan panicked for a moment: "Grandma vomited blood, how could she be poisoned? It's obvious that you poisoned the food with the intention of poisoning grandma and completely controlling the He family."
"There are many reasons for vomiting blood, poisoning is just one of them. You said that poison was put in the food, why is it that others are fine, but grandma is in trouble?"
Shang Ruoyi's words made Qiao Yan react instantly. She looked at the He family members who showed no signs of poisoning, and her heart sank.
What's going on?
She had clearly seen Zhang put the medicine in the rice, so how could only one person be poisoned?
Shang Ruoyi walked up to her, with a sneer on her lips: "I guess there is only one reason why you are so sure, that is, you poisoned her yourself."
"You are spitting blood! You didn't poison me!" Qiao Yan shouted loudly, "How can you slander Yu?"
"Slander?" Shang Ruoyi said coldly: "Is that how you treated me just now? Why did you take it when it happened to me?"
Qiao Yan looked at her hatefully, his eyes full of anger: "Shang Ruoyi, you are so vicious. You knew it was you who did it, but you still wrongly accused you!"
"You were the one who poisoned me, so you are also an accomplice." Shang Ruoyi clapped her hands, and the cooks came in one after another.
Qiao Yan's heart tightened when he saw this.
"Tell me, what did she say to you before she started cooking?"
"Qiao said the boss wanted to discuss with us about what dishes to cook tomorrow." A cook frowned and said, "At first we old ladies were confused. The boss always came up with the idea for the dishes and we just had to cook them. Why did he not listen to our opinions today?"
"That's right. When we went to look for the boss, we found that you were not in the room, so we came back."
Shang Ruoyi looked at Qiao Yan's pale face and said, "Qiao, when did you ask me to call the cook?"
Qiao Yan stood there hesitating for a long time without being able to explain what was going on.
She saw Zhang coming this way and knew she was here to poison, so she deliberately sent the people in the kitchen away to create an opportunity for her. But how could she dare to say these words?
"You took advantage of this opportunity to put the Gelsemium elegans powder into the rice!" She pointed at a basin held by a cook and said in a deep voice, "There is Gelsemium elegans powder in this. If it is not discovered in time, everyone today will die here."
What?
Gelsemium elegans?
That's highly poisonous!
Qiao Yan was stunned where he was. How could it be Gelsemium elegans?
"But! You lied! What you gave to Zhang's was clearly..." Qiao Yan realized that he had said the wrong thing, but it was too late. Everyone present heard it clearly.
Zhang family.
It turned out to be her.
Recalling the gray shadow he saw at that time, it gradually overlapped with Zhang's.
It seemed that he had been too kind to her all along, so that they dared to put the blame of murder on him.
Qiao Yan knew that she had been exposed, so she didn't want to hide it anymore. She knelt on the ground and cried, "Zhang was the one who poisoned me. I have nothing to do with you. I just sent the people in the kitchen away."
"But you gave her this Gelsemium elegans powder!"
"You are the one! It's you! What you gave her was not the Heartbreak Grass, but the Jade Butterfly Powder." Qiao Yan said in a low voice: "You don't know why it turned into this Heartbreak Grass. Really, you believe in you. You originally wanted to drive Shang Ruoyi out of the He family and take her for yourself. Why would you give you this deadly poison?"
At this time, He Jingheng's voice sounded: "Where did you get this Jade Butterfly Powder?"
Jade butterfly powder is made by drying a butterfly the color of white jade and grinding it into powder. This poison can cause severe abdominal pain. In severe cases, the patient may vomit blood and fall into a coma, which is very similar to the symptoms the old princess is experiencing at this time.
However, this jade butterfly is hard to find, and ordinary people can't get it at all, but it has appeared in the palace.
“Yes…yes…”
At this time, Li Wenyuan dragged a woman into the room and said, "Boss, this woman is looking around outside the yard."
When Shang Ruoyi saw the person coming, she laughed out loud. This person was none other than Zhang.
Zhang was carried into the room by Li Wenyuan like a chicken, and she shouted, "What are you doing? Why did you bring me in in broad daylight? Do you think you can bully me?" She saw Qiao Yan kneeling on the ground, a trace of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, and she sneered, "Hey, did you come here to be a maid resolutely? You thought you could enjoy life? Bah! You little ungrateful bastard, I didn't despise your humble family background, and I fed you well in the Prince's Mansion, but what happened? You ran away with another family, and would rather be a wife than a son. You deserve what you are in today!"
Qiao Yan stared at her: "Humph, what good thing are you?"
Zhang didn't expect Qiao Yan to dare to say that to her. She was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and hit Qiao Yan.
Qiao Yan was also a vegetarian, and the two of them wrestled with each other.
How could Zhang be a match for Qiao Yan? After all, Qiao Yan was young, and she had enough to eat at the He family every day, so she crushed Zhang physically. After a while, Zhang was covered with bruises by Qiao Yan, and the He family members watched coldly from the side, and no one stepped forward to dissuade him.
Seeing that the fight was almost even, Shang Ruoyi asked Li Wenyuan to pull the two apart.
Both of them had disheveled hair and were kneeling on the ground with wounds all over their bodies.
"Oh, oh, this is too much bullying! You He family are really too much bullying!" Zhang shouted loudly, "In broad daylight, in a clear and bright place, you dragged me in and ordered your subordinates to beat me! I will see the officials! I will see the officials!"
At this time, many workers who came to build the house were standing outside the room. Seeing Zhang being beaten so badly, they felt a little uncomfortable. However, they were working for the He family after all and still relied on the money from the He family to make a living, so naturally they dared not discuss the right and wrong of the He family.
It was just a bit unbearable to see Zhang being beaten so badly.
"What a coincidence! My second aunt is going to see the official, and our He family is also going to report to the official!" Shang Ruoyi walked up to Zhang and said coldly, "Go and ask her what the crime of premeditated murder is!"
