Evil Lady: My Hubby is a Traitor - C28

Chapter 28 – Expulsion from the House of Prime Minister

“Yes, yes …” Xiao Cui stammered for a long time, unable to say her name.

“Who is it?” Yun Qianliang pressed on, seeing Xiao Cui’s panicked face she was at a loss of what to do, she immediately said: “Why don’t I gather all the servants in the palace and interrogate them, and see who disregards the prohibition, speaking nonsense within the residence.”

Xiao Cui shook her head, his brain working very fast, thinking that without evidence, no one could convict her.

“Where’s the evidence?” Xiao Cui struggled to her death, raising her head to question Yun Qianliang, “Madam, if you have no evidence, then give me a conviction. This is pure slander, and this servant does not accept this.”

Yun Qianliang watched the servant who was kneeling on the ground calmly. He straightened his back and boldly looked at the matriarch, wanting to force her to return the innocence of the maid.

Yun Qianliang stared at her and suddenly laughed.

The corners of the woman’s mouth bent, and her eyes were filled with a smile.

Yun Qianliang did not like to leave the Green Pine Academy, so all he needed was a servant as his assistant, or someone to send it to the Green Pine Academy. Everyone had only seen it once, when all the servants lined up properly, she sat on the chair with an angry face.

Outsiders said that direct daughter of the Yun family was as beautiful as a fox spirit, and had no choice but to admit that this mistress was extremely beautiful, but that day her appearance was extremely sharp, losing that beautiful look, and making people not dare to look straight at her.

This was the first time such a dazzling smile had appeared on his face. It truly made the audience dumbstruck.

Her smile was without the slightest bit of charm, like the sunlight that peeked out from the clouds after the rain had passed. It was fresh and warm, causing the high and mighty alienation on her body to disappear.

“Yesterday, Cloud Water Pavilion broke into a black cat and licked the falling lotus seed soup to death.” Yun Qianliang paused, seeing that the flushed cheeks of the man with a straight back gradually disappeared, she continued: “In the afternoon, Steward Gu brought two doctors disguised as servants into Green Pine Academy. After inspecting the corpses, they found out that the black cat, arsenic, had been poisoned, and thus sent a dark guard to investigate the matter. I have yet to get anyone to test for the poison in this Silver Ear Soup, do you dare to admit it yourself, or do you want me to capture everything step by step? ”

When Yun Qianliang’s words fell, Xiao Cui was already powerlessly sitting on the ground, her face ashen.

“Not a slave …” Xiao Cui was afraid in her heart, but just as she was about to reveal the identity of the man behind her, she was interrupted.

“Just because Xiao Cui bought the arsenic, Madame knew that it was Xiao Cui who poisoned him?” Wen Meng slowly walked into the domain clearing hall. A trace of ruthlessness was hidden in her gentle eyes as she glared at Xiao Cui.

Xiao Cui crawled on the ground and quickly retracted her gaze.

“That’s why I’m interrogating you. I’m not going to directly invite the people from Jing Zhao Mansion to capture the criminals.” Yun Qianliang replied with interest, his unrestrained laughter carrying hints of provocation.

“Then I can tell Madam for sure, the poison wasn’t administered by my Hibiscus Courtyard’s people, because …” Wen Meng paused, arousing everyone’s curiosity. He then took out a paper bag from his tightened belt and held it in front of them, “The bag of arsenic that Xiao Cui bought is with me, Madam, you should be clear about what that means, right?”

The atmosphere in domain clearing hall instantly became tense. The servants knelt on the ground and sized up the two beauties fighting each other, feeling nervous but also excited, wanting to know the truth of this matter.

One of them was his wife, who had been favored by the prime minister. The other was a muse whom the prime minister had always favored.

Steward Gu swallowed his saliva nervously. He knew clearly in his heart that this matter was related to the Hibiscus Courtyard, it was just that this was not about who was smarter, so he could not interfere.

When their gazes met, it was as though sparks were flashing in the air.

The beautiful smile on Yun Qianliang’s face slowly faded, her expression suddenly became cold, causing the atmosphere in the main hall to become even more tense, and the temperature even dropped.

“Warm Girl wants to play word games with me?” Yun Qianliang said coldly: “I don’t mind spending some effort to capture the owner of the medicine shop. I want to see if I can take arsenic over the scale and see if it’s right or not.”

It was still there, of course, but it wasn’t enough!

Did Wen Meng think that just by taking out arsenic to prove that it was still there, he would be able to disrupt her thoughts and cause her to lose her self-control?

When she was being shot in the head by a gun in a crowd of enemies, who knew where Wen Meng was hiding!

With just one sentence, Wen Meng knew that she was powerless. She had considered Yun Qianliang’s character, so she should not have been so calm, and had purposely kept what she had used yesterday, as a backup. However, she had not expected Yun Qianliang to be so confident.

Wen Meng’s raised hand slowly drooped, and the paper between her fingers fell to the ground.

Wen Meng crouched down and looked at Xiao Cui in pain, tears flowing from her eyes.

“Madam, although Xiao Cui did something wrong, is it possible for him to take it lightly on my account?” Wen Meng kneeled down, crying and begging for mercy, “She did this for my sake, if you want to punish her, then punish me.”

“What face are you worth giving me?” Yun Qianliang understood the meaning behind those words, and the words that came out sounded even more ruthless, the coldness in his eyes was extremely ruthless.

A muse actually had the face to talk about face in front of her.

“Wen Meng is willing to lead her to such a state, I hope that Madam can let him off this time.” As she spoke, Wen Meng banged her head on the ground, begging for mercy.

Seeing Master protecting her like that, Xiao Cui thought about how she had almost revealed her secret and felt guilty. She kneeled down and walked to Wen Meng’s side, stopping her from kowtowing again, “Miss, you did not ask for her help.

Yun Qianliang looked at the two of them who had deep feelings for his, and laughed in his heart, if Wen Meng had stood out and admitted to his actions, she would still look up to him, but Wen Meng had pushed all the blame to Xiao Cui the moment she said it, and that foolish girl actually thought Master was good for her, and took all the blame.

“Steward Gu, how do you think we should settle this?” Yun Qianliang passed her decision to the Steward Gu.

“This matter was an attempt at murder, according to the law, it should be handed over to the Jing Zhao Mansion.” The Steward Gu faced Yun Qianliang and gave a fair and square answer.

“No need, just expel Xiao Cui from Gu Xiangfu.” Yun Qianliang’s words lowered the punishment.

Just a scapegoat.

“It’s up to Madam to decide.” Steward Gu said.

“Let’s disperse.” Yun Qianliang got up, and when she passed by Wen Meng, he said: “Follow me.”

After Yun Qianliang left, Steward Gu called for the guards to take Xiao Cui away. He found a trusted servant girl in the manor and told his to supervise Xiao Cui in packing up and changing the clothes worn by this servant girl.

After Xiao Cui packed everything up, she was forcefully taken away and thrown out of Gu Xiangfu.

Xiao Cui became a servant of the Gu Xiangfu at such a young age, she had no relationship with anyone at all, and in the end, fell to such a state. The moment she was pushed out of the Gu Xiangfu, he couldn’t hold back her tears.
