The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

How could she let the culprit get what he wanted?

"Father, do you believe my little sister's words now? Don't you think that if my mother really had a grudge, she wouldn't have shown it at this time. If she was really so cruel, she should have sold her out when a concubine was bullying her, and she would not have tolerated a concubine managing the household affairs in the mansion."

Lin Shiyuan blinked, thinking that what Lin Ruoxuan said made sense, and he coughed.

"Father naturally doesn't believe it, but now that there are accusations, it's natural to resolve it."

Lin Ruoxuan let out a long sigh: "It's good that my father doesn't believe me. My mother lives far away and it's very tiring to travel back and forth. Even if my mother is not here, I can clear her grievances."

Liu Xiaoniang sneered, and kept on saying, "Unfair? Are you sure it's an injustice? She bought the top-grade bird's nest and personally delivered it to the old lady. If she didn't drug the old lady, who else could it be?"

After hearing this, she did not get angry. She stood up from the chair, walked to Liu Xiaoniang, lowered her head, and looked down at her stubborn and even embarrassed face.

"If this matter was not my mother's, what crime would you, a concubine, be charged with for bringing up the mistress? Are you worthy of it? Also, if you hadn't lent out the money, grandma wouldn't have done this. It has not yet been concluded that it was my mother who drugged her, but it is true that you angered grandma and harmed her health. What crime should you be charged with?"

Every word she spoke was full of accusations, as if she wanted to push Liu Xiaoniang into the abyss.

Liu Xiaoniang was almost unable to breathe because of her words. She simply turned her face to the side and looked at Lin Shiyuan aggrievedly.

"Master, I am innocent. You have to decide for me. I have solid evidence, so I won't say anything nonsense."

Without waiting for Lin Shiyuan to say anything, Lin Ruoxuan spoke directly: "Okay, since you have solid evidence, just present it. Otherwise, it's slander. I can report it to the police now."

Lin Shiyuan interrupted.

"No."

This is a family matter. It would be so embarrassing if it were brought to the government office.

Outsiders will only say that there is unrest in the Lin family.

Liu Xiaoniang came prepared and had prepared evidence without proof. Soon, they were all brought in.

The so-called physical evidence was the receipt for the bird's nest purchased by Sun Rong, and the witness was the manager of the kitchen.

"Master, now we have all the evidence and witnesses. It is the mistress who wanted to poison the old lady. Otherwise, you can ask the kitchen steward."

Lin Shiyuan frowned and asked.

"Is what Miss Liu said true?"

The housekeeper nodded in fear: "Yes, what the young lady said is true. Every time, it is Mama Cong who prepares it herself and takes it away. We never get it. One time, I saw Mama Cong dozing off, so I helped to look after her, but she scolded me. I didn't understand why before, but now it seems that the bird's nest is poisonous."

When Lin Shiyuan saw the witnesses and physical evidence, and driven by his filial piety, he became furious.

"Someone, come and capture Sun Rong back to me. How dare you poison my mother."

Lin Ruoxuan blocked them and prevented them from leaving. She met Lin Shiyuan's eyes without fear. Although the other party was her father, there was no fear in her eyes.

"Father, why are you so anxious? Mother is in a farm far away and won't be back for a while. And there are obviously doubts in this matter. Father, I know you are worried about grandma's health, but please don't let yourself be taken advantage of."

She was really heartbroken that her father believed it, and she felt it was not worth it for her mother.

Liu Xiaoniang interrupted: "The evidence is all there, how can you be used? Xuan Jie'er, do you want to say that the master is as stupid as you?"

Lin Ruoxuan met Liu Xiaoniang's eyes and said coldly, "I just have some questions that have not been answered. Liu Xiaoniang has already prepared witnesses and evidence. Why didn't she tell my father right away?"

Liu Xiaoniang didn't expect that this bitch was so sharp-tongued.

"I……"

Lin Ruoxuan didn't wait for her to argue and continued to ask the housekeeper: "The housekeeper said that the bird's nest is always made by Mother Cong herself. Is it the same these days? And the purchase list from the past few days, was it also made by my mother herself?"

The butler naturally insisted.

"Yes, it has been cooked by Madam Cong these past few days, and the purchase order was also made by Madam herself."

Lin Ruoxuan's smile turned even colder and she looked at the doctor again.

"Doctor, tell me, was grandma poisoned every day, or every few days? And what was the dosage of the drug?"

Facing Lin Ruoxuan's question, the doctor said respectfully, "To answer what the Eighth Miss said, we have been poisoning the old lady every day, and we have not stopped in the past few days, so the old lady's body is so weak now."

"Okay, I understand. Go ask Mama Cong to come over and argue."

As soon as Lin Ruoxuan said this, Hongya went to invite Mother Cong over.

Soon, Cong's mother appeared in the house.

Lin Ruoxuan told Cong's mother about the housekeeper's accusation, and Cong's mother knelt on the ground.

"My Lord, you are wise. Because my mistress had something to do these few days, we stopped making bird's nests early. I did not interfere with the cooking of bird's nests. They were all purchased by the kitchen. It was just that the mistress wanted to be more filial to the old lady, so she gave her own private account. I did not make it alone. It was all done by the kitchen, and no one in our yard interfered."

Liu Xiaoniang directly refuted what Cong Mama said.

"You are lying. If you hadn't personally prepared the brew, how could the old lady have any health problems? Did you know that the old lady was in trouble, so you are now refusing to do it?"

Mother Cong had just arrived and had no idea what was wrong with the old lady. She was confused.

"My dear, is there something wrong with the old lady? I don't know."

Lin Ruoxuan interrupted Liu Xiaoniang: "The news of the old lady's accident has been blocked. How could Mother Cong know? It's you who are too suspicious. Why didn't you tell father immediately when there were witnesses and physical evidence?"

“That’s me preparing.”

Lin Ruoxuan sneered: "I'm afraid you're the only one who believes this."

Lin Shiyuan also felt that this matter had more loopholes as the confrontation between the two sides continued, but he was unwilling to think of Liu Xiaoniang as a vicious person.

Seeing that something was wrong, Liu Xiaoniang shouted immediately.

"This matter concerns the Madam, why not let her come out to confront? Maybe she is too guilty to dare to do it? She must be jealous of the Master's love for me. The old lady gave me the household goods, so she did this. She even failed to teach her daughter well, so Sister Xue divorced. It's so embarrassing, and it has implicated the other sisters in the mansion."
