Chapter 223: Reversal

"Kowtow to some of the adults."

Compared to Xiang Niang who looked uneasy, Ren Sanniang was unexpectedly much calmer.

She bowed deeply and knelt there quietly waiting for questions.

Mrs. Wu's eyes turned red when she saw Xiang Niang, and she reached out to hit her, "You rotten vixen! Our master is so kind to you, and you actually do such a thing!!"

But before his hand could fall, he was stopped abruptly by the cold eyes from above.

"Suspicion does not mean conviction." Qiu Bai turned his attention to Ren Sanniang and continued to ask, "Mr. Wu was in Chunhua Building on the day of the accident?"

"yes."

Ren Sanniang closed her eyes and looked at Xiang Niang, who seemed to be crying. Finally, she spoke out one step ahead of her, "That arsenic was definitely planted by me..."

"I did it!"

Xiang Niang, who had always been quiet and gentle in the past, was so violent for the first time, "Sir, I was responsible for the arsenic! Master Wu drank tea in my room that day!"

"I have always hated him! My family was completely broken up because of him! Sanniang has no reason to kill, but I do!!"

"Sure enough, it's you!" Mrs. Wu's hands trembled with excitement, "Sir, this vixen finally confessed her crime in person!"

Linlang frowned and glanced at the white jade bowl. Just as she was about to get up, she heard Qiu Bai's light but steady voice: "Does the Wu family have anything else to say?"

Master Xi cast a puzzled look.

At this point, the evidence is conclusive. Logically speaking, if the prisoner pleads guilty, that would be the end of the matter. But the purpose of this gentleman's extra step is...

"I have!"

Mr. Wu's sister suddenly raised her head and pointed her Dankou-stained finger to the side, "Sister-in-law, you were actually responsible for that arsenic!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Except for the two flower girls who were stunned, Mrs. Wu's shoulders were stiff.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

She stretched out her hand to pull the other person's hair and cried, "I knew you were not good-hearted! You are trying to kill me. I am my husband, how could I harm my husband!"

Mrs. Wu was dragged and staggered, and her anger also rose.

"You have been here for many years and have only given birth to a daughter. You have always been afraid that my brother will abandon you! Who knows what you are thinking?"

Mrs. Wu was scratched with her paw, covering her face and her eyes seemed to burst into flames, "This is unfounded. Are you trying to frame me by saying this?"

"The ginseng soup my brother drinks every day is stewed by the aunt in the kitchen, and during this period, only your personal maid went in!" Looking at her stunned sister-in-law, Lady Wu snorted coldly.

"I became suspicious after my brother died! I used this flower girl as an excuse today just to deceive you into coming to court. Your personal maid has also been recruited, and the aunt from the kitchen has also been brought here today!"

After saying that, she kowtowed heavily and said, "I would like to ask you to make the decision, so that my brother Izumi can be informed!"

"You, you..." Mrs. Wu just wanted to pounce on her, drink her blood and eat her flesh.

The two witnesses were quickly brought in by the master and questioned one by one.

"Sir, there should be no problem."

Although things have taken a turn, it's almost time to end here.

Master Xi had just finished saluting with his hands tied, when he heard the young man's cold voice again, "There is indeed nothing wrong with it."

He turned to the girl who was wrapped in her cloak and huddled like a ball, and the coldness in her voice faded away.

"Linlang."

The girl understood immediately, stood up and stepped forward, taking the jade bowl presented on the tray.

Only then did the Wu family members below notice this girl who had been silent all this time.
