Seeing that everyone was speechless because of her words, Cheng Jinchu didn't care. She struggled to stand up from the ground, looked straight at everyone, and spoke seriously.

"The doctor has just checked and there is indeed poison in the bowl. From my observation, the poison in this bowl of powder should be very strong. Generally speaking, to deal with a pregnant woman, it is wise to give her poison in small amounts and multiple times. This way, the poison cannot be detected. In this way, the murderer can be completely hidden and the victim will not know that she has been poisoned for a long time, and the baby in her belly can be eliminated without anyone knowing."

When Cheng Jinchu finished speaking, she saw that Shen Yun's face had turned dark. She knew that her words did not sound like something a lady from a noble family would say. As a father, he naturally looked unhappy when he heard such a way of secretly harming someone being said so openly.

Of course, Cheng Jinchu didn't care about Shen Yun's expression, and she wouldn't give Shen Yun a chance to speak, so she continued to talk on her own.

"Father, don't be upset. I am only stating what I have observed. What I just said is what I have read in a storybook. Usually, when handling a case, one must have a motive for the crime. I thought that you kept saying that the baby was a boy, so I thought that I must have acted because of this.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that this is impossible. Not to mention how I was treated when I returned to the mansion, even the concubines' daughters in the mansion lived better than me at the beginning. Whose legitimate daughter would live in a shabby courtyard when she returned?

Well, as a mother, I don’t care whether I give birth to a boy or a girl, and it won’t make my life worse in the future. Is there any life worse than my current one?

I finally managed to get out of the shabby yard, but someone else impersonated me, and after I came back, I still couldn't escape being framed. This life is just too miserable!"

After hearing what Cheng Jinchu said, Shen Yun opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Cheng Jinchu. Cheng Jinchu rolled his eyes in his heart and said, "If I don't give you the chance to speak, I lose."

"Father, you don't have to correct me and say that you don't think that way. Maybe, maybe you think my motive for committing the crime is something else.

But no matter what, why should I tell you such a method? It’s not because I’m bored and want to talk about the contents of the book I’ve read, but because I know this method and I understand that my situation is not good.

Well, if I really did it, why would I choose such an obvious way to poison someone? It’s not like I’m stupid!”

Zhou and Yu have been watching the show here for a long time. Before, they actually thought it was Shen Jinyi. It’s not that they couldn’t see clearly, but after Shen Jinyi returned to the Shen Mansion, she gave people the feeling that she was beautiful but not smart. If she had a little bit of brains, she would not be willing to live in that broken yard.

They had thought that Shen Jinyi had suffered this time. Only she and Sun Manman went out that day, and it was Sun Manman who brought the fake goods back personally, so Shen Jinyi must have hated Sun Manman.

Cheng Jinchu looked at Shen Yun with a disappointed expression.

"Forget it. What I said before is just my inference. You can accept it or not. You can even regard it as my excuse after I said those words. It's your freedom.

As for me, I have been wronged, I feel wronged, I feel uncomfortable, I want a chance to prove myself, isn't that too much? Father, give me some time to find out the truth, it won't take long!"

Yunzhi had been waiting at the door for a long time. After Cheng Jinchu said this, she and her men hurried into the house. The servants in the house wanted to stop Yunzhi, but when they saw the person next to Yunzhi, they did not dare to move. The reason they did not dare to move was not because they recognized who the person was, but because the person was dressed too gorgeously.

So Yunzhi and the others quickly entered the room.

Shen Yun naturally noticed someone entering the room. After seeing clearly the person next to Yun Zhi, he quickly put Sun Manman on the bed and came over to pay his respects.

"Greetings, my lady. I didn't know you were at home. I'm sorry for not taking good care of you. Please forgive me."

Seeing Shen Yun bowing, the maids and servants around them knelt down. Yu and Zhou also hurried over to bow. Sun Manman leaned against the head of the bed. Her face was pale to begin with, and now there was no difference. She just had tears in her eyes and bit her lip, preparing to say something.

"If you don't come over and salute me after I count to three, I will punish you!"

The voice was very cold, which frightened Sun Manman so much that she started to tremble on the bed.

Yu and Zhou had never seen the princess, but as the Shangshu's daughter, how could Sun Manman not know the princess?

Princess Ronghua, this title was bestowed by the emperor himself, and its meaning is very clear, which means prosperity and wealth. She was the youngest daughter of her adoptive parents when the emperor was away.

The man sitting on the dragon throne now was once a wanderer among the people. Anyway, I don’t know how, but in the end, he and this little sister were the only ones left to depend on each other. Before the emperor traced his ancestral roots, he even passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer in order to give his sister a good environment to grow up in.

Although Princess Ronghua is the emperor's sister, there is a big age difference between them. If they had not been so poor at that time and had married at a normal age, Princess Ronghua could really have been his daughter.

In fact, Sun Manman was not more afraid of the princess's identity at this time. She was afraid of something else. This princess had her own opportunities. She was not only the princess of Han Kingdom, she was also a disciple of the Medical Saint Palace. It was said that she was taught by the elders themselves. Her medical skills were unmatched in Han Kingdom. So, after what happened today, it seemed that she was finished.

Seeing that Sun Manman didn't move, Princess Ronghua frowned and stared at Sun Manman closely.

"Do you want me to come and pull you out myself?"

The voice was full of anger. Shen Yun looked at Sun Manman, then at the princess, and finally spoke.

"Princess, my wife..."

"Your wife is totally fine!"

Before Shen Yun could finish his words, Princess Ronghua interrupted him. Shen Yun opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He just knelt there quietly. After all, the princess didn't shout.

"three!"

"Two~"

Sun Manman swallowed, quickly threw back the quilt, rolled off the bed and knelt.

Princess Ronghua looked at the person kneeling beside the bed and nodded with satisfaction. She walked to the table, picked up the bowl of powder, smelled it, and took out a silver needle to try it. When she took it out, the place below that was touched by the soup was black.

She held the blackened silver needle, sat on a stool, and looked at the people kneeling on the ground. Of course, Cheng Jinchu was not kneeling, she was sitting on the ground.

Princess Ronghua naturally saw it, but pretended not to see it and turned to Yunzhi and said.

"Go and help your master, young lady, up and untie her."

Yunzhi quickly stood up and went to find Cheng Jinchu to untie her. Princess Ronghua held the silver needle, looked at Shen Yun, and spoke slowly.

"Master Shen, do you know what kind of poison this is?"

Shen Yun was not in charge of the investigation so he definitely didn't know anything and just shook his head honestly.

"But, you, all of you, should know this. The Crane's Beak Red in this bowl has a lot of ingredients. If your wife really ate it as you said before, it would be difficult for her to survive, let alone save the child? Do you think that everyone else is a fool?"

Hearing the princess' words, Sun Manman's face was full of disbelief, and she murmured softly.

"How, how could it be a red thorn tree, clearly..."

Cheng Jinchu had good hearing, so she naturally heard Sun Manman's murmurs, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

How could it not be? She released it herself later, so it could only be Croton!

Cheng Jinchu looked at Sun Manman. Sun Manman originally wanted to complicate things, but she handled things extremely simply.

After this incident, Sun Manman will not only be regarded as mentally ill, but she will also not be able to defend herself and must endure it.
