23. Fatal Entanglement (22)

Now, to him, Qiao Yamu is just his woman at best, and he promised to marry her and give her the identity and title of Mrs. Qin.【26nbsp;】

She got food poisoning in the Qin Manor. It was because he failed to take good care of her and he was negligent.

He was just feeling guilty and angry that his servant had the audacity to give her food poisoning.

He will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.

The most suspicious person now is Mary, because Mary is responsible for Qiao Yamu's food.

So, Qin Aotian said sternly: "Butler, how do you plan to handle this matter?"

"Master, I will investigate thoroughly. Master, I want to lock up Mary...but Miss Qiao...won't let her."

Butler Mu pushed the burden to Qiao Yamu.

When Mary heard Butler Mu's words and saw Qin Aotian's cold eyes, she felt very scared. Her legs softened and she knelt down...

"Master, Miss Qiao's food poisoning is really none of my business..."

Mary begged. She knew how terrible Butler Mu's methods were. The most common method was torture... Once Qin Aotian decided to hand her over to the steward, it would be equivalent to declaring her half a death sentence. No one could endure it.

If you are subjected to torture, you will usually plead guilty.

"Aotian."

Qiao Yamu gently pulled Qin Aotian's arm, "Maybe the food poisoning is just an accident. Just now the doctor said that when certain foods are mixed together, people with special physiques will have a poisoning reaction. Maybe it's a problem with my physique. I

Although I’m not familiar with Mary, I just met her today. But Mary has been taking care of me for a day, and she works very seriously. I hope you won’t punish Mary. I trust her.”

"Do you believe her? Do you believe someone who is suspected of poisoning you?" Qin Aotian looked at Qiao Yamu mockingly, "Also, please don't interfere with my decision."

Qin Aotian did not easily spare Mali because of Qiao Yamu's plea, but became more determined, "Steward Mu, take Mali down and use your method to investigate thoroughly."

"Yes, Master."

With Qin Aotian's support, Butler Mu is no longer afraid and doesn't care about Yamu's opinions.

At the steward's order, two bodyguards dragged Mary away.

And Qiao Yamu kept looking worriedly at the door, the direction where Mary disappeared...

"Are you worried about her?"

Qin Aotian looked at Yamu with some amusement.

"Of course I'm worried. I believe her. If a person commits a crime, the look in her eyes will be different. Although I haven't studied psychology, I won't use a professional eye to judge whether a person has committed a crime, but I can see the basic look in people's eyes.

There are still some. I believe that Mary did not poison me intentionally. And to harm someone, there must be a criminal motive. Why did Mary want to harm me?"

Qiao Yamu tried his best to argue for Mary.

She wanted to make a move to save Mary's life, and then gain a servant as her confidant in the Qin family manor.

"You are really pure... intuitive. With your intuition, you can let go of a suspect who tried to poison you. Should I say you are kind-hearted, or... stupid?"

Qin Aotian looked at Yamu with an even more sarcastic look.

"I just hope that no innocent person will be implicated. If it's my physical condition...not a food issue, wouldn't it mean that I have wronged a good person?"

"Are you unjust? The results will be out soon. Didn't the doctor already take the leftover food you ate for testing?"

Qin Aotian was in control of the overall situation and could not tolerate any objection from Qiao Yamu.
