King An looked at the scholar and asked, “Is what Miss Yang told the truth?”
The scholar pointed at a woman and said, “Yes, she is the one who came to me. She asked me to ruin Miss Yang’s innocence and then marry her.
“However, before I could make a move, 1 was discovered by King Rui’s convoy.”
Yang Wanning pointed at another woman and said, “This is Mrs. Cui’s personal maid, Mrs. Shen. She’s the one who sent someone to put Hardy Ice Plant in my tea leaves.”
“Is it true?” King An looked at Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen looked at Ms. Cui and saw that she was staring at her. She knew she wasn’t allowed to say anything, so she quickly lowered her head and pretended to be mute. New novel chapters are published on
King An shook his head when he saw this. He looked at the servant girl who did the dirty work and asked, “You are the one who put the Hardy Ice Plant into her tea leaves?”
“I did it, but I had no choice. Mrs. Shen captured my brother to threaten me.”
“It doesn’t matter, as you’re the one who did it.
“You could have told your missus in advance or stopped her from drinking it after that, but you didn’t do it.” King An shook his head.
Next was the matter of Yang Chenglin getting corrupted. Yang Chenglin personally came up and told King An everything he had heard that day.
Mrs. Sun briefly explained what happened to Mirs. Gu. Finally, she pointed at a beggar beside her and said, “That night, the maid on duty was called Cuie, but she disappeared the next morning.
Her husband, Qiu Sheng, stopped us on our way here.”
“Your Highness, that is indeed the case. When we were returning, this beggar named Qiu Sheng blocked our way.” A soldier came up and bowed.
Qiu Sheng kept shaking his head, but he couldn’t make a sound.
“You’re mute?” King An asked thoughtfully.
Qiu Sheng nodded. He crawled around the ground and found a stone. He started writing on the ground with difficulty.
A total of three short sentences explained the matter clearly.
In the first sentence, Cuie was instructed by Mrs. Shen to cut off the charcoal.
The second sentence explained that they were hunted down after being released from the residence.
In the third sentence, it was revealed that he was poisoned to make him mute.
After he finished writing, he pointed to his throat and started crying.
Seeing this, Yang Chenglin stepped forward and wanted to kick him, but Gu Chengrui stopped him.
Now was the time to fight against a common enemy..
