He Jingheng sneered: "Why should I believe you?"

His words made Qiao Yanxin, who thought she could control the He family, stunned for a moment: "Brother Jingheng..."

"I don't trust my first wife, but I trust a woman who abandoned her family just to have a full meal. Do you think there's something wrong with my brain or 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?"

"I..." Qiao Yan panicked for a moment: "Grandmother vomited blood, how could she not 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 why people vomit blood, and poisoning is just one of them. You said I poisoned the food, so why is it that everyone else is fine, but my grandmother is?"

Shang Ruoyi's words made Qiao Yanxin react instantly. She looked at the He family members who showed no signs of poisoning, and her heart sank.

How is this going?

She clearly saw Zhang put the medicine in the rice with her own eyes, so how could it be possible that only one person was poisoned?

Shang Ruoyi walked up to her, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips: "I guess there is only one reason why you are so sure, that is, you poisoned her yourself."

"You are slandering me! I didn't poison anyone!" Qiao Yanxin shouted, "How can you slander me?"

"Slander?" Shang Ruoyi said coldly, "Isn't that what you did to me just now? Why can't you bear it when it happens to you?"

Qiao Yanxin looked at her hatefully, his eyes full of anger: "Shang Ruoyi, you are so vicious. You knew it wasn't me who did it, but you still wrongly accused me!"

"You weren't the one who poisoned me, so you're also an accomplice." Shang Ruoyi clapped her hands, and the cooks came in one after another.

When Qiao Yan saw this, her heart tightened.

"Tell me, what did she say to you before she started cooking?"

"Qiao said the boss wanted to discuss with us what dishes to cook tomorrow." A cook frowned and said, "At first we old ladies were confused. The boss always makes the decision on the dishes and we just cook them. Why does he want to listen to our opinions today?"

"That's right. When we went to look for the owner, we found that you were not in the room, so we came back."

Shang Ruoyi looked at Qiao Yanxin's pale face and said, "Qiao, when did I ask you to call the cook?"

Qiao Yanxin stood there hesitating for a long time and couldn't make out what was going on.

She saw Zhang walking towards this side and knew that 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 powder into the rice!" She pointed at a basin held by a cook and said in a deep voice, "Gelsemium powder has been put in this. If it is not discovered in time, everyone will die here today."

what?

Gelsemium elegans?

That's highly poisonous!

Qiao Yanxin stood there in a daze. How could it be the heartbreak grass?

"Impossible! You are lying! What I gave to Zhang was clearly..." Qiao Yanxin realized that she had said the wrong thing, but it was too late. Everyone present heard it clearly.

Zhang family.

It turned out to be her.

Thinking back to the gray figure he saw at that time, it gradually overlapped with Zhang.

It seems that I have been too kind to her all along, so they dared to put the blame of this murder on me.

Qiao Yanxin knew that she had been exposed, so she stopped hiding it and knelt on the ground crying, "The poison was given by Zhang, and it has nothing to do with me. I just sent the people in the kitchen away."

"But you gave her this Gelsemium elegans powder!"

"No, no, no! It wasn't me! What I gave her was not Heartbreak Grass, but Jade Butterfly Powder." Qiao Yanxin said loudly: "I don't know why it turned into Heartbreak Grass. Really, believe me, I originally wanted to drive Shang Ruoyi out of the He family and replace her with myself. How could I 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 white jade butterfly and grinding it into powder. This poison can cause severe abdominal pain, and in severe cases, vomiting blood and falling into a coma, which is very similar to the symptoms of the old princess at this time.

However, this jade butterfly is hard to find and ordinary people have no chance of getting it. It has appeared in the palace, though.

“Yes…yes…”

At this moment, 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 couldn't help but laugh 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 just because you have more people?" She saw Qiao Yanxin kneeling on the ground, a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, and she sneered, "Oh, didn't you resolutely come here to be a maid? 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 off with someone else's family, and would rather be a servant than a master. You deserve what you are in today!"

Qiao Yanxin glared at her: "Humph, what good thing are you?"

Zhang didn't expect Qiao Yanxin to dare to say that to her. She was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and hit Qiao Yanxin.

Qiao Yanxin was no pushover either, and the two of them started wrestling with each other.

How could Zhang be a match for Qiao Yanxin? Qiao Yanxin was young after all, and she ate well at the He family every day, so she crushed Zhang physically. In less than a moment, Zhang was covered in wounds by Qiao Yanxin. The He family watched coldly from the sidelines, and no one stepped forward to dissuade her.

Seeing that the fight was almost over, Shang Ruoyi asked Li Wenyuan to pull the two men apart.

Both of them had disheveled hair and were kneeling on the ground covered with wounds.

"Oh, oh, oh, this is too much! You He family are really too much of a bully!" Zhang shouted loudly, "In broad daylight, in the open air, you dragged me in and ordered your servants to beat me! I want to see the officials! I want to 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 bit sorry for her. However, they were working for the He family after all, and they all relied on the wages from the He family to make a living, so naturally they did not dare to discuss the right and wrong of their master's family.

But seeing Zhang being beaten so badly, I felt a little bit sorry.

"What a coincidence! My second aunt wants to see the official, and our He family also wants to report to the official!" Shang Ruoyi walked up to Zhang and said coldly, "I want to ask you, sir, what the crime of premeditated murder is!"
