Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Qi Huai signed his name, Xie Pinggang did not bother with him anymore. He ordered his men to throw him out without mercy.
Bao Jin, on the other hand, was being punished severely.
As for his family members, although they were not being punished, they still had to be investigated. After all, he might have told his parents and wives about this.
Bao Jin did not keep his mouth shut at all. He confessed everything before he was even punished!
“First Young Lady! A few days ago, First Young Lady called me over. S-She said that the Qi family’s tea merchant had brought many good things from other places. She asked me to take a look and buy some home. Then… she specially mentioned the silver ring powder. She asked me to think of a way to buy it more secretly… In the past, I would always go to that merchant to buy some new tea and beauty-enhancing medicinal herbs, so… at that time, I didn’t think too much about it!”
Only after buying this did he know what silver ring powder was.
At that time, he did not understand why the first young lady bought this thing.
There were no poisonous snakes or insects in the house, so it was useless, no?
Even when the second young lady passed away, the first young lady did not come to mind.
It was not until… The Crown Prince called the imperial physician and found out about the silver ring powder that he came to a sudden realization.
He was also extremely afraid. He was afraid that the eldest young lady would silence him, and he was also afraid that someone would find out about it. However, he was the son of a servant of the family, and he had a record of being a slave, so he had nowhere to run! He could not eat well these two days. He could not even sleep well!
He had already been mentally tortured, so now he was frightened by those torture tools. He was afraid that he did not say enough!
He still signed his testimony, and he had people find that wandering doctor to collect another round of testimony.
Previously, if he had directly investigated the case in the Dong Residence, he would not have been able to get the document signed directly and seal the case like he was doing now since Master Dong interfered. He might have fought back many times throughout the investigation!
Master Dong found out that the criminal division had brought people to capture his servant and left.
He was so anxious that his house was in a mess!
What was going on with this Xie Pinggang? Was he targeting him? Even if the silver ring powder was used, his daughter had committed suicide. He had to make it known to everyone so that the Dong family would not have the dignity to see anyone!
A family scandal must not be exposed!
Master Dong was both angry and worried.
At this time, his eldest daughter’s situation had not improved much. Although she did not have as much of a headache as before, her face was frighteningly pale. From time to time, she would be frightened. She was so pitiful.
What was even more pitiful had yet to come.
The next morning, the criminal division brought people over again. This time, they did not capture a servant, but their sick daughter. Not only that, they even wanted to search her bedroom!
“Xie Pinggang! Does my family have any deep enmity with you? You’re going too far!” Master Dong was so angry that his entire body was trembling.
He was a dignified third-grade official, yet he was trampled on by a sixth-grade official like Xie Pinggang!
In his residence, Xie Pinggang could come and go as he pleased. He was simply lawless!
“Master Dong, don’t worry. I’m seeking justice for your other daughter. See? This is a testimony. All of these testimonies indicate that this young lady is the person who drugged your second daughter. There must be a result for any cases that are reported to the criminal division!” Xie Pinggang said after that, “Take her away!”
“Don’t arrest me! I didn’t do it! Get lost, I am the Princess Consort. Who dares to touch me?!” Dong Xiyun shouted like a crazy woman!
Master Dong was also stunned by Xie Pinggang’s words.
The murderer… was his daughter?!
Impossible!
What reason did Xi’er have to kill her own biological sister?!
If it was his own wife, he would still think that it was possible. After all, they were not mother and daughter by blood. It was inevitable that there would be conflicts.. However, Xi’er had no reason to do that!
