[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Song felt bitter and was about to defend herself, but when she looked at Yun kneeling at her feet, she suddenly understood Rong Enqing's intention of saying this.

At this moment, she was panicked, scared, nervous, and uneasy, and her heart was a mess.

But after a moment, she still stood up and slowly knelt on the ground beside Yun Shi, saying bitterly: "Mother, it's all my fault. You can kill me or chop me up, I won't say a word."

Hearing this, Yun Shi suddenly looked up at Song, his eyes full of surprise and disbelief.

"Mother, what are you talking about? I was the one who ordered Xiao Liu to do this, and I was also the one who ordered people to poison Yun Ye and Auntie's bowls! You knew nothing at all, why are you admitting your mistake?"

When these words were spoken, everyone in the field was shocked.

Zhang was so frightened that her face turned pale. Fortunately, she didn't have the habit of eating midnight snacks, and Yun Ye didn't eat the bowl of glutinous rice balls, otherwise, the mother and son would have to go to the underworld together to commit suicide.

"What did you say!?"

Song grabbed Yun Shi's arm in disbelief. Although she had expected it, she still couldn't believe it when she heard Yun Shi admit with her own ears that he poisoned Yun Ye and Zhang.

"How could you do this? Your eldest brother let us live in the mansion, and your eldest aunt took care of us personally. Why would you repay kindness with hatred? Poison them? Is this what I taught you?"

Song clutched her clothes at her chest, looking grief-stricken.

"It's all their fault! It was Yun Ye who stole the title that should have belonged to our father! The entire Marquisate should belong to our family! Mother, didn't you say before that you wanted to be the Marquis's wife? When Yun Ye dies and father becomes the Marquis, you will be the Marquis's wife!" Yun Shi argued unconvinced.

Song dodged a slap and then punched Yun Shi's shoulder several times. "What nonsense are you talking about? Who taught you this? Who?"

"Mother, I'm not talking nonsense! Father was about to become the Marquis, and you were about to become the Marquis's wife! It was Yun Ye who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, snatched the Marquis' title, and occupied the entire Marquis' Mansion! He deserves to die!" Yun Shi glared at Yun Ye hatefully.

Song raised her hand and wanted to hit Yun Shi again, but was shocked by the stubbornness in Yun Shi's eyes.

She slowly put down her hand, turned her head away in disappointment, and said in a deep voice: "I don't have a son like you! From now on, don't call me mother, I don't have a son like you either!"

After hearing these words, Yun Shi panicked, "Mother!"

He panicked and tried to pull Song's hand, but Song waved it away resolutely.

At this time, Rong Enqing spoke up, "It was my decision to let Yun Ye inherit the Marquisate. I was also the one who separated your second branch from the Marquisate. Why did you only poison Yun Ye and Zhang, but not my bowl?"

After the incident, Madam Gong immediately checked the glutinous rice balls sent to each courtyard. Rong Enqing and Na Wan's were not poisonous, nor were Yun Luo, Yun Ying, and Yun Ai's. Naturally, the glutinous rice balls of Yun Hui and his brothers in Ting Lan Courtyard were not poisonous either.

The only bowls that were poisoned were the one that He Zizhong ate and the one that Zhang in Tingheyuan did not eat.

Fortunately, the maids around Zhang were not greedy, and Zhang did not have the habit of giving others things she would not eat. Therefore, the bowl of poisonous dumplings in the lotus courtyard was still kept in the outer room until Nanny Gong brought people to investigate.

Yun Shi slowly turned his head and looked at Rong Enqing, "Yun Ye stole the title and the mansion, he deserves to die! My aunt had ulterior motives, poisoned my mother's medicine, and instructed the people around her to slander my mother, she deserves to die even more! As for you, although I don't like you either, you at least saved my mother's life, so I won't kill you!"

"Wait!" Rong Enqing understood the problem behind the words, "You said your aunt ordered someone to poison your mother's medicine?"

"This is absolutely true!" Yun Shi said angrily, "On the day you discussed sending Yun Ai to the palace, my mother fainted and we asked a doctor to see her. Afterwards, when I sent the doctor back, he told me in person that my mother had been poisoned by a chronic poison. If it hadn't been discovered early, I'm afraid she wouldn't have known how she died until she died!

"Except for the three of us brothers and Xiao Liu, the rest of the people in Tinglan Court were all sent by our aunt! If it wasn't our aunt who poisoned our mother, who else could it be? Tell me! If it wasn't her, who else could it be?"

Yun Shi glared at Rong Enqing angrily.

Rong Enqing frowned and looked at Nanny Gong beside him.

The fact that Zhang poisoned Song was not mentioned in Nanny Gong's investigation.

Nanny Gong found out that the reason why Yun Shi poisoned Zhang was that he suspected Zhang's maid Chun Ping, who was envied by Yun Shi because of her gossip, and Yun Shi took his anger out on his master Zhang.

At that time, Rong Enqing also felt that it was a bit of an exaggeration to want to kill Zhang just because of a maid's inappropriate remarks.

I just didn't expect that there was such a reason behind this.

"It was my negligence that prevented me from finding out about this matter." Nanny Gong bowed and admitted her mistake quickly.

After all, the incident happened suddenly, she had limited time, and it was the middle of the night in a cold weather, so it was inevitable that Madam Gong would be negligent. So Rong Enqing did not hold on to it.

She glanced at Nanny Gong, then turned to look at Zhang.

Zhang stood up quickly and said calmly, "Mother, I have never poisoned my second brother's wife!"

Rong Enqing nodded. She believed Zhang Shi because Zhang Shi had no reason to do so.

"If she says no, then there is nothing?" Yun Shi argued, "She is the only one in Tinglan Courtyard. Who else could it be if she didn't instigate it?"

Rong Enqing looked at Yun Shi calmly, "Have you ever thought that maybe the doctor lied to you on purpose?"

Yun Shi was stunned for a moment, then he loudly retorted: "Impossible! The doctor refused to say anything at first, but I found out something and threatened him, and he finally told me the truth! He doesn't even know me, why would he lie to me?"

Rong Enqing did not argue with him and continued to speculate: "Well, if the doctor did not lie and your mother was really poisoned, have you ever thought that maybe the person who poisoned her was Xiao Liu?"

When Yun Shi heard this, he exploded like a lit firecracker.

"This is impossible! Mother has been ill for two months, and everyone has left. Only Xiao Liu has stayed with her and taken care of her meticulously! Only she is loyal to her mother, so she followed us to the Marquis' Mansion!"

"If she is really loyal to your mother, she wouldn't blame her for something she didn't do!" Rong Enqing laughed sarcastically, "You forgot so quickly that you just called her a 'slut'."

Yun Shi froze in place. After a long while, he slowly turned his head and looked at Xiao Liu, "Tell me, did you poison your mother? Tell me!"

Xiao Liu shrank back in fear, his face pale as he shook his head, "I didn't, I didn't poison my wife! I really didn't!"

Rong Enqing gave a wink to Nanny Gong, who hurried out and gave some instructions to the old woman at the door.

Soon, the old woman came over with a tray and handed it to Nanny Gong.
