When Yunyan heard Su Qiaohui's words, she knew that he was here to help her, and she immediately felt confident.
Yun Qian said softly: "Third Sister is so well-intentioned that she actually let Du Juan carry an empty basket to see me."
Her words were simple, but they went straight to the core of the incident. Du Juan did hold a basket in her hand, but it was empty. It was self-evident what the basket was used for.
Yunyan relied on Su Qiaohui to stand up for her and said arrogantly: "I asked Dujuan to bring you cakes. Maybe you ate all the cakes secretly, and then put a poisonous snake to kill Dujuan. Fifth sister, you are crazy."
Forget it, he’s still so vicious!”
Yun Qian said calmly and authentically: "Third Sister, what you said is a bit exaggerated. Have you seen with your own eyes that I let a poisonous snake bite the cuckoo? You said that the basket was full of cakes but I ate them all. The basket is so big, I might
Have you finished eating all the eggs? Mother, I ask you to send someone to check that basket carefully to see if there is a snake or a cake in it!"
When Su Qiaohui heard Yun Yan's words, she secretly cursed Yun Yan for being too stupid. A snake could bite one of her own people to death. It would be fine if the person died. There were still evidence left behind. She knew that the basket had definitely not contained cakes without checking.
So she said sternly: "Qian'er, you really can't even trust your own sisters. Here comes someone, put the basket away and have someone check it carefully. If the basket is really filled with cakes, Qian'er, stop it."
Blame mother for punishing you."
Yun Qian felt that Su Qiaohui was really a Qiba. These words were so high-sounding, but they were directed at Yun Yan. It seemed that she wanted to completely cover up the matter, or that she was the mastermind behind the scenes.
Yun Qian knew that if the basket was snatched away by Su Qiaohui's people, then the basket would definitely be filled with cakes, and she was afraid that everything would fall on her.
Although two women were poisoned to death outside her house last time, she was crazy at the time.
She was sober today. If Yun Yan ordered someone to bring cakes but died here instead, she didn't care about her reputation, but Su Qiaohui would definitely take this opportunity to punish her.
She had some understanding of the status of women in feudal society. It was never difficult for a housewife to kill a crazy concubine like her. In this big house, the status of concubines was always very low.
Yun Qian reacted very quickly and snatched the basket over and said, "Mom is interested. Before inspecting it, I will also open this basket and show it to each sister to see if there are any crumbs of pastry inside."
She opened the basket, but saw that no one of the concubines around her dared to come forward and take a look.
Her eyes narrowed, and she suddenly understood that most of the people present today knew what Su Qiaohui was thinking, and no one dared to disobey her.
"What happened? Why are so many people gathering here?" A majestic voice sounded.
Yun Qian followed the sound and saw a dignified woman about fifty or sixty years old standing there. She recognized that woman as the wife of the Yun Mansion, her grandmother in this body.
Su Qiaohui didn't expect Mrs. Tai to come at this time. Her eyes darkened, and she hurriedly walked up to Mrs. Tai with a smile and said, "Mother, why are you here?"
"I went for a walk in the mansion and saw that all the servants were running this way. It was very noisy here, so I came over to take a look." Madam Tai glanced at Su Qiaohui and said, "The servants in the mansion are becoming more and more unruly now. They are all idle.
