Chapter 120: Who is the real culprit?
Yun Jingxi looked at the small Cui kneeling on the ground, then looked at Yun Jiechu, her face without a hint of panic. Father, I didn't do these things. This is a trap.
Third brother, at this point, do you still want to shirk responsibility?! Now there are witnesses and evidence! I advise third brother to tell the truth, otherwise it will be embarrassing later. Yun Jinghua coldly laughed and said.
Yun Jingxi didn't look at Yun Jinghua, but instead turned to Yun Shangren with a calm expression: Father, I really don't know why Xiaocui wanted to frame me. Please investigate clearly and clear my name.
Xiao Cui, I'm asking you again, was it Third Master who told you to give a package of arsenic to Fifth Miss? Think carefully before answering. If I find out that you've lied even half a sentence, I won't let you off lightly. Yun Shangren looked at Xiao Cui kneeling on the ground with an intimidating expression.
Master, every word I said is true. It was Third Master who told me to give that package of poison to Fifth Miss. Little Cui said resolutely.
Yun Jingxi's face changed, and she said sternly: "What nonsense is this? When did I ever give you arsenic? Xiao Cui, tell me, what benefits did the second young master give you to make you falsely accuse me like this?"
Third brother, don't be so quick to insult people! I'm not even familiar with Xiao Cui, where did you get the idea that she's framing you? Yun Jinghua's face turned bright red as he took a step forward, looking like he was ready to fight Yun Jingxi to the death.
Yun Jingxi also met him head-on: The facts are right in front of you!
Shut up! Yun Shangren was furious and slammed his hand on the table.
Yun Jinghua and Yun Jingxi glared at each other fiercely before retreating back to their original positions.
Ning Chu, you tell me! Did Xiaocui give you a package and say it was from your third brother, telling you to put it in the medicine? Yun Shangren turned to Yun Ningchu, Dad knows you're a good kid and won't lie.
Uh-huh. Yun Jingchu nodded very honestly.
Yun Jinghua's face lit up with joy, and he hastily spoke out: "Father, look, Yun Jingchu has admitted it himself." However, what Yun Jingchu said next left him stunned on the spot.
But I didn't put it away. Next, Yun Jingchu looked at Yun Shangren with an innocent face.
Jun Chu, don't lie! Yun Jinghua's face changed, staring at Yun Junchu with a stern voice.
I really didn't put it. Yun Jingchu said while taking out a silk handkerchief wrapped thing from his sleeve, opening it to reveal a small paper package inside, showing it to everyone with a sincere face: At that time, after I opened it, I thought the things inside looked very much like sugar, and I remembered that some time ago I wanted to put sugar in Wu Shang's medicine, but Bi Ling and Bi He said no, so I didn't.
You didn't put it there, so where did the arsenic in the medicine come from? Yun Suoyu spoke coldly.
Arsenic? Yun Jingchu blinked in confusion, what is arsenic?
It's just the white powder in your paper bag. Yun Cuiyu said impatiently.
Ah, it's this one. Yun Jing had an epiphanic look on her face, then pointed straight at Yun Qing Hua, who was the second brother's pawn.
"What did you say?! This time, except for Zhang Yuanyi, everyone else was surprised in unison. Even Zhang Yuanyi was amazed and stared with wide eyes."
Jing Chu, do you know what you're saying? Yun Shangren took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.
I knew. Yun Jingchu nodded with a innocent face, this morning, I was a bit hungry, so I thought of going to the kitchen to see if there's anything to eat, but as soon as I went in, I heard someone coming in, I remembered Zhao mom's instructions, not allowing anyone into the kitchen, I got a little scared and hid behind the water tank. Then I saw my second brother come in, lift the lid of that sand pot, and pour some white powder like sugar into it. After my second brother left, I went over to take a look and found out that there were medicinal herbs soaking inside. At that time, I was still wondering why my second brother added sugar when Biling and Bihe both said that you can't add sugar when decocting medicine.
As soon as Yun Jingchu spoke, everyone's faces changed unpredictably, each with a different expression...
