She was buried alive at the start, but she's determined to smash her ex-husband's head in

Ye Qinxuan immediately glared at Yaoqin, as if she could strangle her on the spot if she uttered even one more word.

At this point, Yaoqin no longer cared about Ye Qinxuan and quickly told her everything.

"It was indeed Miss who poisoned Young Master! She ordered me to poison the pastries sent to Qinghui Hall! Everything was Miss's order! This servant dared not disobey!"

"You bitch! You're talking nonsense!!!" Ye Qinxuan kicked Yaoqin in a fit of rage. "You traitor! What benefits did you take from Lin Qingwei that you're helping her slander me like this!"

Yaoqin was so frightened that she crawled on the ground, then clung to Ye Shi's legs, crying and saying, "How could I possibly have had the opportunity to plot with Miss? Let alone receive any benefits! If that were the case, I should have stood up for Miss when she was wronged!!!"

Ye was so angry that the veins on her forehead bulged, but out of consideration for Ye Qinxuan being her brother, her tone remained relatively gentle.

"Qinxuan! Why did you do this? When did Xuan'er and Qingwei do anything to upset you? Why did you have to be so cruel?"

Lin Zhengwen didn't care about Ye Qinxuan's father. The Ye family used to be a respectable family, but they had declined in recent years and were nothing compared to the Lin family. Now that Ye Qinxuan had poisoned his only son and framed his daughter, he couldn't swallow this insult no matter what.

With a cold face, he said, "You've done such a despicable thing, poisoning others and then trying to pin it on them. It's unforgivable! You should be sent to the authorities! So you'll know the laws of our country!"

Ye Qinxuan, her face pale with fright, rushed to Ye Shi, crying out, "Aunt! You can't abandon me! I'm your own niece! Even if not for me, you must remember the Ye family's kindness in raising you, and remember the help Father has given you over the years!!!"

It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned. Just the mention of the Ye family and Ye's brother made Ye furious! What did she mean by remembering the kindness of being raised? What did she mean by the help they'd given her over the years?!

That's utter nonsense! She earned everything she has today through her own hard work! The Ye family has never liked her since she was little; they treated her worse than her brother's servants!

Ye pushed Ye Qinxuan away and glanced at her coldly: "You hurt two of my children. How can I, as a mother, help you?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qinxuan, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly burst into laughter. Her laughter was chilling, as if Ye Shi truly felt sorry for Lin Qingwei.

She patted the hem of her skirt and stood up, her smile still on her face: "But you really can't send me to see the officials, otherwise Xiuyao won't have a good ending either."

After she finished speaking, everyone looked at Lin Xiuyao. Lin Xiuyao naturally denied it, shaking her head and saying, "What does this have to do with me? I know nothing about this!"

"How can it not concern you? Didn't you write me a letter telling me to do whatever it takes to drive Lin Qingwei out of the Lin family mansion? I've kept this letter safe. If my uncle wants to take me to see the authorities, I'll take out this letter and make Xiuyao suffer the punishment with me!"

She was the mastermind! I was simply misled by her words!

Lin Xiuyao had never seen anyone more shameless than her. She was so angry that she stood up from her chair and went up to Ye Qinxuan to slap her and tell her to stop talking!

The old women around, having received a signal from Madam Ye, held Lin Xiuyao back tightly, and Lin Xiuyao even stretched out her foot to kick them.

"I told you to deal with Lin Qingwei! Why did you attack Lin Jingxuan?!"

This statement undoubtedly acknowledged Ye Qinxuan's sophistry. Ye Shi and Lin Zhengwen were so angry they almost fainted, while Lin Qingwei watched them bickering with great interest.

Now, Lin Zhengwen had to reconsider how to deal with Ye Qinxuan for the sake of Lin Xiuyao's reputation.

How come Yao'er has become so stupid ever since Lin Qingwei came back? She's always causing him trouble! He really can't understand it! Where did the obedient and sensible Yao'er go?

Ye Qinxuan can no longer stay in the Lin family mansion. Such a scheming and malicious person would only bring disaster if she stayed!

But if he were to properly send them back to the Ye residence, he really wouldn't be able to vent his anger! Lin Zhengwen suddenly remembered what Lin Qingwei had said and immediately looked at her.

"Qingwei, the matter has been investigated and it has been determined that you have nothing to do with it. Your father apologizes to you here. Now, I will fulfill my promise and hand this person with ulterior motives over to you for disposal!"

Lin Qingwei raised an eyebrow; Lin Zhengwen wanted her to take the lead.

Although she didn't want to be used by Lin Zhengwen, Ye Qinxuan was really despicable. If Peizhi hadn't betrayed her halfway through and secretly taken out the oleander powder from Qinghui Hall and threw it into Ye Qinxuan's courtyard, she probably would have had a hard time getting away.

It's also because she's been feeling tired and not very clear-headed lately. Even though she noticed something was wrong with Pei-Chi, she didn't let Chun-Chi investigate further.

"Okay." Lin Qing smiled and got up to walk to the middle. She said to Mama Lai, "The young master's medicine should be ready. Please ask the doctor if there is any left. If so, please heat it until it is piping hot and bring it over."

Lai's mother was completely confused. After seeing Lin Zhengwen and Ye Shi nod, she rushed out.

Lin Xiuyao looked at Ye Qinxuan smugly, thinking, "You're in big trouble now!"

However, before she could be smug for long, Lin Qingwei walked over and slapped her hard across the face. The sound was crisp and loud, and everyone present could hear and see it clearly.

This wasn't the first time Lin Xiuyao had been slapped by Lin Qingwei, but it was the first time she had been slapped in front of so many people. The way everyone looked at her was even more humiliating than the slap itself.

She immediately turned to look at Lin Zhengwen with a mournful face, but Lin Zhengwen remained expressionless and deliberately ignored her.

“This slap is what my sister deserves. I think Father and Mother think so too, right?” Lin Qingwei said. “I can completely understand that you hate me for always being one step ahead of you as soon as I returned to the manor, so you tried every means to drive me away. But you shouldn’t have dragged an outsider into this, which almost caused Jingxuan’s death.”

Lin Xiuyao was choked up and couldn't utter a single word in defense, because Lin Qingwei's statement was true.

Then, Lin Qingwei turned around and slapped Ye Qinxuan hard again. This slap was even harder than the previous one, making Ye Qinxuan's head buzz and half of her face swell up.

She was pampered and spoiled growing up! No one would dare to lay a finger on her, so she had never experienced such crying and humiliation.

She immediately covered her face and said to Madam Ye, "Is this how you raise your daughter, Aunt? I came to the Lin residence in good health but returned to the Ye family covered in injuries. Have you thought about how to explain this to my father, Aunt?"

Ye Qinxuan looked down on the Ye family from the bottom of her heart. A daughter born out of wedlock, thinking she could be arrogant now that she's risen to prominence? What a joke! She'll still have to be subservient when she returns to the Ye family!

And Lin Qingwei, who does she think she is? Her reputation in the capital is already ruined! Meanwhile, I'm considered a model of good manners and education by everyone! What right does she have to hit me?!

What a bunch of lunatics!
