With that, Shen Ninghua raised his wine cup and downed it!

"You … "Do you want to die …" Doctor Qi exclaimed.

Shen Ninghua wiped the corner of her lips and said sorrowfully, "Originally, it wasn't poisonous, but now it's been wrongly accused of being poisonous. A mass of filial piety was thrown to the ground. If I can't prove my innocence, then I might as well be poisoned to death by the wine."

Su Shi stepped forward and pulled Shen Ninghua back, her face full of anger as she asked, "Doctor Qi, look carefully, is there any poison in this wine?"

Doctor Qi was already dumbfounded. Shen Ninghua was fine after drinking it, what else could prove that the wine was alright?

Su Shi continued, "You silly girl, even if you want to prove that the wine is not poisonous, you don't need to personally drink it. Don't tell me my Shen family doesn't have a servant, and I actually forced Miss Di to test the poison herself to prove my innocence? "Little girl, you have a hard time of it. As your aunt, I can't just let you suffer for no reason. Let me try this wine as well." As he spoke, he picked up a glass of wine and was about to drink.

Mrs Zhao quickly stepped forward to stop her, snatching the wine cup away. "Sister-in-law, you can't. Just find someone to try. How can I let you come?" If she was allowed to drink this cup of wine, not to mention whether the Su Clan would come knocking on her door, even if others wanted to poke her in the spine, she could not bear the title of being a child of the previous wife. "Ning Hua, you're too stubborn, how could we not believe you?"

Shen Ninghua shook her head, her eyes filled with helplessness as if she had been forced into a corner. "If I can prove my innocence, then there's no harm in drinking a few more cups."

"Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-Law, Xiao Hua just tried it out. The wine was harmless, but the maidservant who drank it died suddenly, and even if there was nothing wrong with it, there is still Senior Servant Zhou who fell into the water. It is clear that there are people who don't like my Shen family's peace, and this matter cannot be let go so easily."

Everything was like a joke, her eyes coldly swept over Mrs Zhao. What happened today looked really strange, it made it difficult for him not to think too much. After so many years of living like a prince, had made her forget how to manage the backyard?

Seeing his expression, Mrs Zhao's heart skipped a beat. She quickly said gently: "Master, this matter is indeed rather strange. It's better to investigate it thoroughly before coming to a conclusion."

"Sis, it's so easy to investigate. Someone, bring Xue Zhu, incense, Liang Yu, and the maidservants here. Let's see who has the guts to bully our Miss Shen without restraint." The Su Clan's brows raised as they directly ordered.

"Sister-in-law, the Fifth Prince and Young Master Chu are still here. It's best not to trouble them with these household chores. I'll immediately send some servants to interrogate them and make sure to give Ning Hua and Ling Han an explanation."

Su Shi laughed lightly: "Eldest sister-in-law, there is nothing that cannot be said to others. We are openly helping our young miss vent her anger, with Fifth Prince and Young Master Chu here, it would be better for them to be witnesses. We don't want others to say that our Shen family has no rules."

As he said this, someone had already pushed down Xue Zhu, Lai Xiang, and the others. The Zhao Clan's complexion was ashen. Was the Su Clan, this slut, going to investigate everything? He turned his head to look at Shen Dong, his eyes carrying a hint of awkwardness and pleading:

"Old master, look at this matter?"

Shen Dong's complexion did not look any better, but he had no choice but to speak up to protect the Zhao family: "Fifth Prince, Young Master Chu, today's matter is embarrassing for the both of you. Another day … …"

Chu Junyi waved her fan unhappily. "The young miss just came back and something like this happened. Those who don't know better might think she's here to cause trouble. We're all here today as witnesses."

The Fifth Prince nodded his head and looked at Shen Ninghua, who was standing straight at the side. He paused for a moment before shifting his gaze to the pale Shen Lingghan and said, "Jun Yi is right. Master Shen, please ask about this matter.

Shen Dong gritted his teeth and nodded, his gaze turned to the three people kneeling on the ground, his eyes seemed to want to tear them into pieces: "What did you few servants collude with? Hurry up and tell us!"

Shen Dong really deserved to be called. He truly deserved to be called her good father. He had actually learned the Zhao Family's move and pushed all the blame onto his subordinate! They were all servants, without a master's instructions they could collude to kill Miss Shen, did they not find their lives long enough?

"Reporting to the lord, this servant doesn't know anything. "She was the one who came to call the servant's mother out, and then my mother never came back. Right now, we don't even know if she's still alive. The servant was just filled with filial piety and came to inquire about my mother." Liang Yu lay on the ground, crying his heart out. His expression was one of extreme grief.

Shen Dong slammed the table: "Quiet!"

Liang Yu trembled violently and immediately stopped talking. He cowered and knelt on the ground.

"Yi Xiang, is what Liang Yu said true? Why are you looking for Senior Servant Zhou?" Shen Dong asked.

Yi Xiang was kneeling on the ground, her face pale without the slightest trace of blood. She couldn't help but look at Lady Zhao, her eyes full of killing intent, causing her to tremble as she said, "Your servant … Your servant is looking for Senior Servant Zhou … Because … "Because …"

Shen Dong angrily shouted, "Why haven't you called me out yet?"

"Yes …" "It was Eldest Miss who sent her servant. Eldest Miss was narrow-minded and said that she wanted to take revenge on Zhou mama for using her ex-wife's dowry. Eldest Miss only said that she wanted to teach her servant a little lesson before she went to call for help." At this point, she could only try her best to protect her family. She hoped that the First Wife would spare her family for the sake of not giving her up in the end.

Mrs Zhao's tightly clenched fists loosened slightly, the curve of her lips eased a little.

Shen Dong's expression changed, he pursed his lips and did not say anything.

Just as the Su Clan member was about to speak up, Shen Ninghua gently held onto his arm and looked over in astonishment.

With a bitter smile on his face, Shen Ninghua softly said to her, "Aunt, this matter started because of me. Let me ask a few questions."

Her voice was not loud, and her tone was very calm. However, when they heard this voice, the anger within the Su Clan strangely calmed down and they nodded slightly.

Shen Ninghua walked in front of Yi Xiang and looked down into her eyes. Her expression was exceptionally calm as she said, "Yi Xiang, even though you have not served me for long, I believe I have treated you well. I really don't know what deep hatred you have towards me, to actually want to pour a basin of black dirty water on my body. "

"Your servant …" "Your servant did not …"

Shen Ninghua scoffed, "No?" Didn't you forget that it wasn't just Zhou mama who touched my mother's dowry? You were wearing my mother's hairpin, too. Wouldn't it be more convenient to punish you? "After all, you're already one of my servants. Even if I kill you, you'll just have to make up for it with another maid. Even Senior Servant Zhou was kicked out because of a mistake. If I want to take revenge on you, do I need to go through so much trouble?"

"This …"

"Besides, have you forgotten something? Zhou mama didn't die, and she landed in the pond for no reason when we were searching the courtyard. I didn't come back home for long, and I had four maids with me, and they were all following me back then! [I would like to know, how did that big guy get into the pond for no reason at all?] Could it be that I still have someone helping me in the dark and have everything under control? "

Shen Ninghua's voice was clear and bright. Each and every word that came out of her mouth was like jade as it fell into the ears of everyone present. They couldn't help but think along her words.

Even Shen Dong couldn't help looking towards Mrs Zhao. The only one who could control the matters in the backyard was her, the manager's mother. Was this all her plan?

Yi Xiang was speechless. She had no idea how to refute this.

Shen Ninghua looked at her silently, his pitch-black eyes as calm as the night. "Yi Xiang, there's only one life left. Now tell me, who. You were asked to call Senior Servant Zhou? "

She felt that the gaze was like ice that made her shiver. She couldn't help but to fall limply to the ground, and her gaze unconsciously drifted to the first wife. "Yes …" "It's …"

Senior Servant Qin strode forward and suddenly slapped her in the face. She said angrily, "You're still not telling the truth even when you're about to die. Don't tell me you have to bring your whole family here to interrogate them?" If you don't want your family members to die with you, don't speak carelessly!

With a bang, Yi Xiang was beaten to the ground. Qin mama turned around to Shen Ninghua and said, "Miss, this girl is very dishonest. I'm afraid Miss can't get any answers out of her with just a question. It's best to teach her a lesson."

Shen Ninghua retracted her gaze, her eyes filled with a cold light. "Then, I'll have to thank Senior Qin for her help."

"Miss is too polite." Qin mama bowed in an exceptionally respectful manner.

To the side, Su Shi couldn't help but sneer. "Senior Qin, your movements were a bit too fast. Look at that girl being beaten silly by you. She can't even speak if she wanted to. "Sister-in-law, your servant knows how to grasp opportunities!" Did they really think that everyone else was a fool for making such a blatant move?

Madame Zhao gave a stiff smile and reprimanded Qin mama harshly. "Senior Servant Qin, how dare you take action without permission."

When Senior Servant Qin heard this, she kneeled down and kowtowed to Shen Dong and Madame Zhao. "Since it's like this, this old servant has no choice but to account. It's all my fault. Please punish me, Madam."

Senior Servant Qin could be said to be the person closest to her. She was protected along the way so she really treated her as a relative, but in order to protect herself, she had no choice but to interrogate her.

"What are you hiding? Why aren't you calling me back?"

"Yes," Senior Servant Qin said in a low voice. "This servant unintentionally discovered that this little girl, Yi Xiang, had a secret relationship with Liang Yu. In order to conceal this scandal, I hurriedly told Senior Servant Zhou about it. Senior Servant Zhou was a sensible girl as well. She firmly decided to sever all relations between Liang Yu and Yi Xiang. Even when that girl Yi Xiang tried to force her with her death, the servants and the others did not agree. Who would have thought that the girl would be so ruthless as to retaliate like this? Yi Xiang, you're still not admitting to it? "

Lai Xiang slowly got up. Her pale face was covered in tears and her eyes were deathly still. "Yes, it was all your servant's idea, and all your servant's evil intentions. In order to take revenge on Senior Servant Zhou and Senior Servant Qin …" After saying that, she fell towards the ground, she couldn't implicate her family.

"She's dead."
