Chapter 485 Poisonous Woman
Chapter 485 Poisonous Woman
The West Princess turned her gaze towards Xue Baochai with a strange expression on her face. After a while, she smiled contemptuously, put one hand on her waist, and started fighting with Madam Xiao Shihou and the other three:
"How often has the prince ever gone outside or to your mansions to discuss important matters?
“Of course they are all in my study!
"Everything that happened in my study room, I could have seen and heard it all."
Pointing at Madam Xiao Shihou who was about to speak, he raised his chin and shouted, "Shut up! What you know is just what Xiao Shihou told you when he got home!
"I tell you!
"What a coincidence! I was there when the matter was being discussed. I was in the secret room. I could see and hear clearly the people coming and going and the arguments outside!"
Everyone was stunned!
"That incident was told to Sister Lin by Lady Xue Wang. The prince only said, 'These two are too smart. They can't be kept.'
"Wang Ziteng continued: "However, if we do everything at once, it might arouse suspicion.
"The young Marquis Shi then suggested: Since the woman is pregnant, it will be easy to deal with; a difficult birth will be enough.
“The prince took the opportunity to hand the matter over to the young Marquis Shi.
"Who would have thought that Little Marquis Shi would actually go to Wang Ziteng's brother-in-law, and later Wang Ziteng came over and had a quarrel with the prince.
“Of course, I’m not saying that Jia Min shouldn’t be killed, but I’m saying that Little Shi Hou actually framed me like this.
"The prince consoled him with a few words and assigned him several of his former subordinates in the camp outside the capital. Only then did he leave with satisfaction."
After saying this, he sneered, looked at Daiyu, and pointed at Madam Xiao Shihou, Madam Wang Ziteng, and Aunt Xue one by one.
"These are your legitimate in-laws, but when it came to killing your parents, none of them showed mercy."
Having said this, Aunt Xue’s face turned pale again.
Princess Xi looked over and saw it. She leaned on her side and silently supported her daughter-in-law's hand. She laughed so hard that she fell backwards:
"They only know that your mother and brother died from the Xue family's ancient recipe, but they don't know that the Xue family later sold another recipe to the Zhen family at Wang Ziteng's instruction!"
Zhen Family...
Lin Daiyu's eyelids twitched slightly.
Aunt Xue's legs were so weak that she had to lean on Xue Baochai to prevent herself from collapsing to the ground.
"Your father passed away. What did the doctor say?" Princess West looked at Lin Daiyu with pride.
Lin Daiyu said slowly and calmly: "Chronic poisoning."
Princess Xi raised her eyebrows: "You actually knew?!"
"As a child, how can I just ignore the cause of my parents' death? I have to investigate."
Daiyu still spoke softly, “My father has been poisoned for six years.
"That is to say, he was poisoned before my mother passed away, when we first arrived in Jiangnan."
Princess Xi nodded with a smile: "As expected, she is very smart, and her reputation is well-deserved!"
After a pause, he looked at Aunt Xue, who lowered her head and began to tremble all over, with a mocking look, "You are smart. You found someone to pretend to be Mr. Youfang and sell the medicine to the Zhen family.
"The Zhen family bribed his cook and put the drug into Lin Ruhai's teacup.
"But you didn't expect that Wang Ziteng took this as a credit and came running to tell the prince everything from beginning to end. I was standing by and knew everything clearly.
"Wang Ziteng even told the second master of the Jia family about this matter—"
As she spoke, Princess West looked at Lin Daiyu again and burst into hearty and triumphant laughter again.
"Which one of you hasn't been played around by my prince?
“Even now, you have to rack your brains to dig out the most accurate information from me;
"Then trick me into signing it, so that I can present it as evidence in court and convict these slaves, both big and small!"
The Princess of the West looked at everyone with malicious eyes, from the pale-faced Madam Wang Ziteng, to the dumbfounded Madam Xiao Shihou, to Aunt Xue who collapsed on the ground, and finally to Xue Baochai who was full of indignation but had a calm look.
With her eyebrows raised, Princess Xi suddenly laughed again, staring straight into Baochai's eyes, her tone particularly brisk:
“You are quite dignified.
“No wonder the prince has always been regretful, saying that if you were not born into the Xue family, a merchant family;
"Any family with a title would ask you to be their daughter-in-law.
"It's a pity that the Xue family is a family of commoners. If you suddenly enter our house, it will be too conspicuous."
He actually praised Xue Baochai at first, but then his words suddenly turned negative, "You are so dignified, probably because you feel that your mother was used by your uncle to do evil things, so that your whole family cannot escape punishment -
"But girl, your mother is stupid and cowardly, but even a clay figure has its own temperament, and a fool can kill people!
"For example, your father..."
Before she could finish her words, Aunt Xue, who was already lying on the ground, suddenly went crazy and rushed over screaming, "You old bitch! You slander and provoke me like this!"
Everyone was caught off guard, and she actually pounced on Princess West, grabbed and groped her two or three times with her hands, and finally strangled Princess West's neck!
Before Lin Daiyu could react, Xue Baochai was the first to rush over and said, "Mother! Let her go! Let her go! Let her speak!"
I couldn't pull Aunt Xue away no matter what!
The Princess of the West was already suffocating from being pinched by her. Her mouth was open with her tongue sticking out and her eyes were rolling back!
"What do you feel guilty about?!" Xue Baochai shouted in her mother's ear, calling back the soul of Aunt Xue who seemed crazy.
Aunt Xue froze.
The female jailers nearby hurried over and quickly pulled Aunt Xue away.
The Princess of the Western Prince wiped her tears while laying her mother-in-law flat on her lap and stroking her chest to help her breathe more smoothly.
Xue Baochai no longer went to support her mother. She just pinched her sleeves, stared at Aunt Xue's eyes, and asked in a tearful voice:
"Mom, tell me the truth, how did my father die? Did he really get angry and sick, and then died of depression?"
Aunt Xue raised her head dully, and suddenly she broke down, tears streaming down her face, and she shouted at the top of her lungs: "Baochai! You are my daughter! How could you doubt me?
"We are orphans and widows!
"I am all alone, and the Xue family is eyeing our family's property. I am all alone, and it was so difficult to raise you and your brother!
"How can you doubt the mother who gave birth to you and raised you?!"
Daiyu glanced at the Princess of the West.
Princess West was opening her mouth and breathing heavily, and it was obvious that she had not fully recovered yet.
Daiyu tilted her head slightly and glanced at Chu Qian.
Chu Qian immediately took a step forward, squatted down silently to check on Princess West, raised his palm, gathered some strength, and patted the lower part of her throat.
The Princess of the West finally caught her breath, and before she could breathe steady, she pointed at the shaken Xue Baochai and the relieved Aunt Xue and her daughter and laughed again:
"Her husband wanted to deliver the antidote to Lin Ruhai! She didn't allow him to, but she couldn't stop him!
“So she gave her husband that drug, too!
"It's just that the dosage was not controlled properly. In less than half a year, her husband died!"
Aunt Xue froze again.
Xue Baochai's hands, which had just been supporting her mother's arms, suddenly fell apart and she cried out!
"Do you think this is the end? Your second uncle took over the family vault and noticed something was wrong, so she used the same old trick again and killed your second uncle!
"Your second aunt is a capable woman. She raised her son to be well-mannered and ambitious, and her daughter to be talented and brilliant!
"She was probably jealous a long time ago, so she used the excuse that she was afraid your second aunt would find out something was wrong, so she changed the fourth prescription, and your second aunt became suffering from phlegm disease!"
