He threw himself into Song's arms, crying and shaking his head, "No! Mother, please don't die, please don't die! It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"

As he said this, he suddenly came out of Song's arms, knelt down in front of Rong Enqing, kowtowed and said, "Grandma, this is all my fault! It has nothing to do with mother! Just punish me! Please don't let mother die!"

Rong Enqing looked at Yun Shi expressionlessly and said in a cold voice: "Poisoning the young marquis of Shun'an Marquis's Mansion is no small matter. Someone must be held responsible for this! You should know that you are just a child, you can't handle this!"

Yun Shi's eyes became dazed and he sat down on the ground dejectedly.

Rong Enqing continued, "When you poisoned him, did you not think about the consequences? Regardless of whether Yun Ye got into trouble or not, once you did it, someone would have to be held responsible! Who do you think that person would be?"

Yun Shi stared at Rong Enqing blankly, then turned around and looked at Song in surprise.

"Mother?"

Deep doubts finally turned into gushing anger!

"Grandma means that no matter if Yun Ye is okay or not, as long as I poison my mother, she will be implicated by me?"

"That's right!" Rong Enqing nodded.

“So, if Yun Ye gets into trouble, Mother will die. They kill two birds with one stone.

"Yun Ye is fine, but his mother will die. They cut out the target they were going to eliminate. Still no loss!

"So, from the beginning to the end, they never thought about letting my mother live?"

"So, they've been lying to me this whole time? Using me?"

Rong Enqing nodded with relief, "You are right. Do you still want to hide it for them?"

Yun Shi clenched his fists and said angrily, "I went back to Lin'anfang that afternoon when my mother fainted. My father told me that as long as I killed Yun Ye, he could become the Marquis of Shun'an again, bring our family back to the Marquis' Mansion, and get everything that should belong to us.

"This way, he doesn't have to cling to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for his future, and naturally he won't let my mother die. He promised me that as long as I poisoned Yun Ye, he would let my mother live well and continue to be our mother. When he becomes the Marquis of Shun'an, he will also let my mother become the lady of the Marquis of Shun'an Mansion, fulfilling my mother's long-cherished wish.

"He said all this himself! But he lied to me! He never wanted Mother to live from the beginning!"

At the end of his speech, Yun Shi's eyes were red and filled with surging hatred.

Rong Enqing looked at Yun Shi and shook her head helplessly. If Yun Shi had not been dissatisfied with her and Yun Ye, how could he have easily fallen into the trap, deepened his hatred for them, and finally done something wrong under the instigation of Yun Hao's words.

Fortunately, Yun Ye was fine! Zhang Shi was also fine!

But even so, Yun Shi was unforgivable. Yun Hao and Jiang Shi were even more unforgivable!

But before that, she had one more thing to figure out.

"Where does the poison come from?"

Yun Shi said truthfully: "Aunt Jiang gave it to me on the day I returned home."

"Then how did you put the poison in the bowl?"

"Father... He told me to find Mrs. Wu, the gatekeeper at the back porch, and give her the poison. Mrs. Wu will find the person who poisoned her herself."

Rong Enqing frowned slightly and turned to look at Nanny Gong.

During Nanny Gong's investigation, two maids were caught poisoning the food. They were the two maids who delivered the dumplings to Yun Ye and Zhang.

They admitted it too.

But when they were asked who ordered them to do this or where the poison came from, they refused to say anything. Even torture was ineffective.

In the end, one of them bit his tongue and committed suicide, while the other hit his head against the wall and died. They were just like the legendary assassins.

Hearing Yun Shi's words at this moment, Rong Enqing always felt that he had heard of this person somewhere.

The old woman guarding the door on the back porch...

Fang'er, who went to the kitchen to deliver the message, was this man's granddaughter.

However, Rong Enqing felt that he had heard of such a person somewhere else, but he just couldn't remember it at the moment.

After receiving the message from Rong Enqing, Nanny Gong nodded quickly and went out with people to capture Mrs. Wu.

This old lady Wu... the rat that couldn't be caught after several cleanings in the Marquis' Mansion, you can imagine how deeply she hid.

In fact, without interrogating her, Rong Enqing could probably guess the identity of this old lady Wu. She was simply someone left in the mansion by the butler Old Li.

However, Ron was not in a hurry to deal with these rats at the moment.

The most important thing for her now is to finish the matter at hand.

After Madam Gong left, Rong Enqing instructed Xiu Zhang who was standing by, "Have Steward Li go to the second room to invite Yun Hao and Jiang. When they go, have Hu Shan bring a dozen good fighters with him. If Yun Hao and his mother refuse to come, have them gag and tie them up and bring them to me."

"Yes." Xiu Zhang took the order and went out to pass on the message.

Rong Enqing then looked at Song and Yun Shi who were still kneeling on the ground and sighed, "Song, you didn't know about the whole thing, and you are also a victim. But Yun Shi is your child, and you have an unshirkable responsibility for his mistakes. Do you admit this?"

"Grandma, it's all my own fault..."

Yun Shi spoke first, but before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Song's eyes.

"I admit it! I am willing to take full responsibility for Yun Shi's mistakes!" Song said sincerely.

"Well, since you admit it, I will punish you to raise the children well from now on. Then, keep a close eye on Jiang's mother and son, and don't let them make trouble again."

When these words came out, everyone was stunned, especially Song.

She looked at Rong Enqing in surprise, "Mother, how can I control the second house? How can I be their master?" Is this a joke?

If she could control Jiang's mother and son, would she have ended up in this situation today?

"Don't worry about this. After today, you will be the head of the second house." Rong Enqing said in a firm tone.

Although Song was confused, she nodded obediently, "Okay. Thank you, mother, for making the decision for me."

Yun Shi also thought that Rong Enqing said this to uphold justice for the Song family, to allow her to occupy a place in the second house, and to prevent Yun Hao and his mother from easily dealing with the Song family in the future.

He immediately kowtowed to Rong Enqing and said, "Thank you, grandmother, for seeking justice for my mother."

Rong Enqing did not comment, and looked at Yun Shi calmly, "Your mother has her own sins to bear. Your sins are not something your mother can bear for you."

"I am willing to be punished. Even if it means death, it doesn't matter as long as Grandma can help me protect my mother!" Yun Shi looked at Rong Enqing firmly, "Please punish me, Grandma."

Rong Enqing looked at Yun Shi, then at Yun Ye who was silent beside him, and finally said sternly: "You harbored resentment and poisoned your brother, which was unrighteous. You did not respect your elders and put your stepmother in danger, which was unfilial.

"Now the big mistake has been made. I have decided to expel you from the Yun family!

"Soon we will ask the elders of the clan to witness the event, open the ancestral hall, and remove your name from the family tree.

"From now on, you are no longer a descendant of the Yun family, and you are not allowed to have the surname Yun anymore!

"Also, you are required to leave the capital within half a month! Without Yun Ye's permission, you are not allowed to set foot in the capital again for the rest of your life!"
