Qingyingxuan, inner room.

Rong Wan was sitting by the window at this time, her brows furrowed, and she was twisting the handkerchief in her hand anxiously.

"Qiu Wen, do you think the guards would search Cui Zhu's body carefully if they found it?"

Maid Qiu Wen comforted Rong Wan softly, "Miss San, don't worry. We did it very covertly. It was Doctor Xue who taught us this method before. Even few people in the government know about this method of killing people."

Rong Wan let out a long sigh and relaxed a little: "If it weren't for my mother's message, I really wouldn't believe that Rong Sheng, that idiot, actually knew about the poisoning and killed Doctor Xue."

Since she was a child, she couldn't stand Rong Sheng's self-proclaimed noble stupidity. Finally, God opened her eyes and the Princess Qingya who had always suppressed her mother five years ago died.

From then on, without the support of her biological mother, she was no longer Princess Yong'an, but more like a sickly Princess.

She even wants to use her status as a princess to suppress herself and Sister Jin. No way!

She was lucky that she wasn't poisoned to death this time, but she had been drinking that poisonous soup for such a long time, she probably wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. Humph, she would have to die sooner or later, so that she could avenge Doctor Xue!

When Rong Wan thought that Rong Sheng was about to die, she felt much better. She started drinking tea and eating snacks, and she ate with such relish.

At this time, the guard outside the house came to report: "Miss San, the Marquis asked you to go to Mingyuexuan, please leave now!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

When Rong Wan heard the word "Ming Yue Xuan", she was so excited that she almost choked to death on the snack in her mouth.

He quickly drank a sip of tea before swallowing the snack.

"Why does my father want me to go to Mingyuexuan? It's so unlucky!" Rong Wan looked very disgusted on the surface, but she was actually a little nervous in her heart.

He wondered if his father had found out anything, but then he changed his mind and realized that Qiu Wen and he had done it perfectly. They had killed the man without making any sound, and then gently pushed him into the pond. There was no way anyone would have noticed.

Rong Wan shook her head, gave herself a reassurance pill, and quickly walked to Mingyuexuan.

"Father!" Rong Wan called sweetly before she even entered the door, "What do you want to call Wan'er for?"

The next second, she had just stepped one foot over the threshold and was stunned when she saw the situation inside the house.

She recognized the two corpses on the ground, but why was Cuizhu's body in Mingyuexuan?

What made her even more surprised was that her father and Rong Sheng were sitting next to each other.

Moreover, Rong Sheng looks energetic now and doesn't look like a dying man at all.

She was just wondering when the Marquis spoke in a cold voice: "Wan'er, come here and see if you recognize this thing."

Rong Wan responded and walked closer to take a look, and was immediately frightened to the point of her scalp going numb.

This, isn’t this the needle I used to kill someone just now?

How could this be discovered? It's impossible!

Rong Wan was stunned for three seconds, then said guiltily, "Father, although I love needlework and embroidery, this needle is definitely not mine."

"Oh," Rong Sheng sneered, "Third sister, you are too nervous. Father didn't even ask if it was yours. Why are you in such a hurry to deny it?"

Rong Wan could tell Rong Sheng's bad tone and immediately felt unhappy: "Sister Sheng, there's no need for Wan'er to distance herself from anything. Wan'er didn't kill anyone or set any fire. Unlike sister, who kills people without blinking an eye."

Rong Wan felt much better after she had confronted Rong Sheng.

At this time, Rong Dexin frowned and said, "Wan'er, don't be disrespectful to your sister."

Rong Wan pouted at Rong Dexin: "Father, why are you helping her?"

Rong Sheng, who was standing aside, found it really funny to see Rong Wan, who looked like she was still confused about the situation.

She was too lazy to talk any more and said sternly, "This princess killed those who deserved to be killed, and you, Rong Wan," she took the silver needle and held it in front of Rong Wan and said, "Don't you think you are more cruel and ruthless? Look carefully at the threads on this needle. Does it look like the unique set of embroidery needles that your cousin from the Lu family gave you on your birthday last year!"

"Stop slandering me, Rong Sheng. This is not the case. This is not the case at all!" After Rong Wan heard what Rong Sheng said, her brain suddenly made a "buzzing" sound and her inner defenses began to collapse.

She trembled and hugged Rong Dexin's arm, sobbing, "Father, you have to believe Wan'er. Wan'er didn't kill anyone. The needle didn't belong to Wan'er, it really didn't belong to her!"

When Rong Dexin saw Rong Wan's panic, he understood what was going on.

He pulled Rong Wan off his arm, his face livid, his voice very cold: "Sheng'er never said from the beginning that this needle was used to kill people! How do you know that a needle can kill people? Huh?"

After hearing this, Rong Wan was stunned for a moment. Yes, Rong Sheng didn't mention the murder at the beginning.

I was so nervous that I blurted out everything. Damn that bitch, she actually set me up!

Rong Wan looked up and met Rong Sheng's triumphant eyes, then turned around and saw Rong Dexin's furious expression.

I thought to myself that I probably couldn't escape this time.

"thump!"

In full view of everyone, Rong Wan suddenly knelt heavily on the ground.

She crawled to Rong Dexin's feet, grabbed his legs and cried heartbreakingly: "Father! I was wrong! I admit it, I admit it all, I killed him, and I ordered someone to poison him. I was confused for a moment, please have mercy on me, father!"

Rong Dexin's chest was heaving violently at this moment, and he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

He kicked Rong Wan aside fiercely and shouted, "You rebellious girl! How dare you harm your own sister? Who gave you the courage?!"

Rong Wan was kicked so hard that she couldn't stand up straight. She curled up on the ground and continued to cry, "At the autumn banquet last year, I fell in love with the prince of Jing'an at first sight, but I couldn't marry him. Ever since I knew that my elder sister would marry the prince of Jing'an, I became obsessed and wanted to kill him. Now I know I was wrong! Father, please forgive me!"

"Let you go?" Rong Dexin laughed in anger. "As the third daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, you not only dared to murder the princess, but also tried to destroy the marriage I facilitated. You are really too arrogant!"

Rong Dexin became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and shouted, "Come here, drag Rong Wan away and give her twenty slaps! Beat her hard!"

The guards dragged Rong Wan away, and soon, Rong Wan's heart-wrenching screams were heard from outside the house.

The servants in the room felt their hair stand on end when they heard this.

But after just two hits, Lu suddenly appeared again.

"Stop it! I'll see who dares to touch her again!"

The guard was so frightened that he stopped immediately.

Seeing Rong Wan crying, Mrs. Lu was extremely heartbroken. She shouted with a ferocious look on her face, "Who told you to hit the Third Miss? Don't you want to live anymore?!"

The guard was about to reply when Rong Dexin suddenly walked out of the room, looking down at him with a cold expression.

"I ordered the beating!" He said as he walked to Lu's side and asked coldly, "Do you know what Rong Wan did?"

Seeing that the Marquis was emitting cold air and had lost his previous arrogance, Mrs. Lu pleaded in a low voice, "Marquis, no matter what Wan'er did, she is the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion and has a noble status. How can you beat her without permission? She is still young, so just let her go!"

"Let her go?" The Marquis laughed instead of getting angry. "Poisoning the princess, trying to destroy the marriage between the Marquis's Mansion and the Jing'an Palace, and killing people with hidden weapons, is this something a daughter of a Marquis's Mansion would do?"

Mrs. Lu was so shocked that her breathing stopped. She thought that it was indeed she who sent the message to ask her to kill Cuizhu, but did this child also take responsibility for the poisoning?

She lowered her head to meet Rong Wan's eyes. Rong Wan winked at Lu and sobbed, "Mother, I was confused for a moment. I loved Prince Jing'an and wanted to poison my sister to death. I really know I was wrong!"

Mrs. Lu immediately understood and couldn't help but feel that Rong Wan was not completely ignorant.

After thinking about it, she continued to beg Rong Dexin, "My Lord, Wan'er is just young. She was so overwhelmed by her emotions that it is understandable that she did something extreme. If you beat a girl too hard, she will be scarred. It is better to let her kneel in the ancestral hall and copy scriptures to apologize."

Rong Dexin was furious just now, but when he heard Lu's soft plea, he calmed down and thought about it, feeling that he seemed to have punished too severely.

After a while, his expression relaxed and he said in a deep voice: "Even if this is the case, the act of plotting to murder the princess is a crime! From today on, you must kneel in the ancestral hall and copy the sutra 100 times. If you don't finish copying, you are not allowed to eat. Apologize to me!"

Rong Sheng also walked out of the house at this moment. Seeing that Rong Wan was about to escape this disaster, she quickly came to Rong Dexin's side.

While wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, she squeezed out two tears from the corners of her eyes and sobbed, "Father, I can't get over my mother's death, so I've been ill for a long time. Now I know it was my sister who wanted to harm me. If I stay in this mansion any longer, I'm afraid I'll follow my mother before I can marry the prince!"

After she said that she cried even louder.

After listening to Rong Sheng's words, Rong Dexin suddenly became alert in his mind. Now the top priority is to take good care of Rong Sheng's health. He cannot delay his marriage with the prince!

He pondered for a moment, and suddenly said in a cold voice, "Rong Wan is guilty of plotting to murder the princess, and she almost caused a disaster. From tomorrow on, she will be sent to the manor to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors, and she is not allowed to return to the manor unless necessary!"

At this moment, Rong Wan still thought that she only needed to kneel in the ancestral hall, but when she heard that she would be sent to the farm, she cried louder than Rong Sheng.

"Father, this place is miserable and poor, I don't want to go there!"

Mrs. Lu was so excited that she almost jumped up: "My Lord, how can you send Wan'er to the manor? How can she bear the luxury she has had since she was a child!"

"I have made up my mind, let's do it!"

After saying this, Rong Dexin didn’t bother to even look at Rong Wan and Lu any more, and turned around and left.

Mrs. Lu now felt exhausted both physically and mentally. In her sadness, she suddenly remembered something and looked up at Rong Sheng's face.

Rong Sheng!

Mrs. Lu clenched her teeth unconsciously, clenched her fists and said secretly, Rong Sheng, just wait, you will die in my hands sooner or later!
