Chapter 87 The Real Culprit
Yuan Xiang did not think much about what Yun Qianyu asked, immediately she nodded and said, “Yes, young miss.”
However, Yun Qianyu had a bad feeling.
Soon, Yun Qianyu motioned for Hua Mei to put the water on Aunt Shen’s hand to check if her hands had the poisonous substance.
Hua Mei quickly went out and so did physician Lin.
Everyone in the hall suddenly realized what Yun Qianyu meant when she asked the question.
Yuan Xiang’s face turned pale instantly and felt a little dizzy, why did I say that…
Hua Mei and physician Lin quickly came in, and physician Lin quickly reported, “Eldest young miss, Aunt Shen’s hands did not have the poisonous substance.”
Hearing this, Yuan Xiang kowtowed in fear and said, “Young miss, it’s really Aunt Shen who gave it to me. She really ordered me to do so.”
“I’ll ask you again, who ordered you to poison my porridge. If you don’t tell me the truth, you’ll be punished. I hope you like needles in your fingers.”
Merely thinking about the pain of having needles stuck into the fingertips was creepy enough. This was a kind of insidious torture that ordinary people would not be able to resist.
Yuan Xiang was no exception. She screamed and thought, never mind I’ll just kill myself.
Just as Yuan Xiang was about to bite her own tongue and kill herself, Yun Qianyu’s sinister voice was heard, “You can try to commit suicide, but if you died, then your whole family would be killed as well.”
Yuan Xiang trembled in fear when she heard this. She looked up at Yun Qianyu in horror and saw clearly the killing intent in her eyes.
How could I drag my family members into this? Yuan Xiang couldn’t bear the stress anymore and screamed, “It was Hai Tang. Hai Tang ordered me to poison young miss.”
Hai Tang was the lead servant under Yun Qianxue. When Hai Tang heard her name, her face immediately became pale and her body weakened.
This time, without waiting for Yun Qianyu to question her, Hai Tang voluntarily confessed and admitted to everything.
“It was all because of me. I became angry when I saw the first young miss ruined the marriage between Xuan Prince and the second young miss. Seeing that the second young miss was broken-hearted, I took the poison the second young miss made and poisoned the first young miss’s porridge. This servant only asks for death as a reward.”
After saying that, Hai Tang shut her eyes and was prepared to die.
In fact, she wasn’t that loyal, but because her whole family worked for Marquis Yun Lei, she could only accept death and hope that her family would be spared.
Yun Qianxue became teary, pointed at Hai Tang, and said with disappointment, “Hai Tang, how could you be so silly. How can you do such a thing? You really let me down.”
Yun Qianxue cried out after that. Seeing that Yun Qianxue became sad, and what Hai Tang had said, Xiao Tianyi couldn’t help but feel his heartache. He quickly went beside Yun Qianxue and wiped her tears with his handkerchief.
“Don’t be sad, Xue’er. I’ll marry you and bring you to my residence soon.”
