Now, what's the use of pursuing it further? Didn't he get his high position now because he helped Gong Yun'ao? What else does he have to say?
If Shu Yao is really punished, will Gong Yun'ao make things difficult for him?
Also, when Shu Yao asked this question, she was obviously saying that Shu Wanwan posed no threat to her at all, so why frame her? It was simply too childish and ridiculous.
Aunt Han secretly rejoiced after hearing this. She shook Shu Shihuai who was sitting in the main seat and gloated: "Master, look, she even admitted it!"
Being teased like this by Aunt Han, Shu Shihuai felt his temples pounding.
He glanced sharply, and what he said made Aunt Han and Shu Wanwan stunned on the spot.
"I've known about this for a long time. I told Shu Yao to go into the study to get it... Don't make a fuss about it anymore."
I said half of it but not all of it, because it was not appropriate for them to know what happened next.
The conversation changed and Shu Shihuai asked: "Shu Wanwan, this is not a threat at all, so why frame her?"
Aunt Han was completely stunned. How could this be possible?
Hearing this, Shu Wanwan's heart skipped a beat, and a dark light flashed in her eyes. She made a desperate move and spoke decisively: "Father, my daughter is innocent. If you don't believe it, you can send her to the government for investigation."
She knew in her heart that Shu Shihuai would not be so cruel!
Then, she looked at Cuizhu who was kneeling next to her and tried to persuade her: "Cuizhu, you have to think carefully. The crime of framing Miss Shu is not a small crime. Once sent to the government and tortured to extract a confession, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand it."
"If you are honest and frank, you can be given a lighter sentence. If you are stubborn and want to frame Miss Shufu, once the government finds out the truth, the crime will be increased."
"Also, your family still expects you to take care of them. If something happens to you, who will take care of them? You should not think about yourself, but also think about them."
The words were said sincerely and touchingly. They seemed to be exhortations, but in fact they were hints and threats. Cuizhu had already heard the hidden meaning.
If she doesn't take on everything, Shu Wanwan will kill her family. Her mother also has a teenage brother. If she takes on everything, Shu Wanwan will take care of her family for her.
It was really a waste of time. She was trying to exonerate herself and find a scapegoat.
Cuizhu knelt on the ground, with big beads of sweat on her forehead. Because of Shu Wanwan's threat, her body was shaking like chaff.
Cuizhu closed her eyes tightly and gritted her teeth and said: "This slave did it all. I hate Shu Yao and I also hate Shu Wanwan. If Shu Wanwan hadn't sent the slave to Shu Yao as a maid, I wouldn't have done anything."
This is the next step..."
"I didn't want to poison Madam. I just wanted to take this opportunity to make the sisters disagree... and kill each other... Hahaha, I did it..."
When Shu Wanwan heard this, her heart relaxed, and she fell on the ground and kept sobbing.
Hearing this explanation, Shu Ting suddenly felt far-fetched, and his bright eyes were a bit sharp, "Absurd, Shu Yao and Shu Wanwan have no enmity or enmity with you, why are they so cruel?"
Cuizhu replied fiercely: "Shu Wanwan didn't like the slave, so he sent the slave to Shu Yao. Shu Yao didn't like the slave to serve closely, so he always asked the slave to do some rough work. The slave was obviously a first-class girl, but he had to do third-class work.
This servant is not willing to accept the rough work of an envoy."
After hearing this, Shu Shihuai didn't notice any difference, but only a little. He asked: "Even so, but you don't understand the pharmacology, how did you think that the medicine Veratrum and ginseng are incompatible?"
Shu Shihuai's question revealed the key point, which made Cuizhu look shocked and hesitated for a long time...
"This... this... is because my mother is often sick. One time, when I was taking medicine, I accidentally learned about it from the apprentice of Jishan Hall..."
At this time, Shu Wanwan raised her eyes and winked at Aunt Han. Aunt Han immediately understood and quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, pretending to cry.
She pointed at Cuizhu and cursed: "It turns out that it was you, a cheap maid, who harmed Wanwan! You have such a vicious heart... How could Shu Mansion be sorry for you? You want to harm us Wanwan like this..."
Shu Ting frowned and said: "Father, there are many doubts here... we can't do it so easily..." Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Shu Shihuai: "Okay, now that the matter has come to light, you can take Cuizhu
Send it to the government for investigation."
"The noise makes me dizzy, and there is no day without peace of mind." After saying that, Shu Shihuai stood up and prepared to walk to the main house.
Shu Ting knew clearly that it seemed that his father did not intend to investigate further.
Shu Yao stood there, watching everything with cold eyes, as if watching a farce performance. There was no emotion or depth in his eyes.
It seems that even though Shu Shihuai is well versed in the ways of being an official in the imperial court, he is like an idiot when it comes to intrigues in the backyard.
Perhaps, he could see through everything, but he didn't want or want to pursue it any further. He would rather believe that the maid had evil intentions than accept or face that the person he loved on his bed was a vicious person.
Doting on concubines and destroying wives! Shu Shihuai did an excellent job!
Cuizhu was frightened and cried for mercy: "Master, I was wrong. Please spare me!"
Shu Shihuai, who turned his back, waved his hand impatiently, "Send him off, send him off, what's the point of crying and fussing?"
Aunt Han felt relieved and immediately walked to Shu Wanwan and helped her up. Then, she leaned against Shu Shihuai aggrievedly, crying so hard that she felt so aggrieved, "Master, my daughter is so unjust!
"
Shu Shihuai caressed Aunt Han next to her and said comfortingly: "Didn't I already explain it to you?"
Aunt Han wiped away her tears, glanced sideways at Shu Yao, and sobbed:
"Master, since Shu Yao came back, the family has been in a state of upheaval. Is it true that the Taoist priest said that Shu Yao has a bad destiny and will harm the Shu family? Is that why the family is so restless?
"
When Shu Shihuai heard this, he looked sideways at Aunt Han, with a dark look in his eyes: "Master, how about we ask Miss Shu Yao to come back to the mountain to pray for the family for three to five years? This is her filial piety as a daughter."
Shu Shihuai was a little moved by these words. This might be a good idea!
He glanced at the deserted Shu Yao and moved his lips, but did not say anything.
There was silence between Shu Yao's brows, her eyes were indifferent and she passed over him calmly. Shu Yao snorted coldly in her heart. Not surprisingly, he wavered and once again wanted to throw her into the mountains.
She was completely disappointed with this father.
After being silent for a long time, Shu Ting finally couldn't help but say: "Father, my little sister has lived a poor life in the mountains for eight years. How can you bear to do this? Also, if my mother wakes up and can't see her, she will be sad.
, my son will not let you do this either."
He looked at Shu Yao, the debt in his eyes was even stronger. He was too young to stop her before, but now he would not let his father shut her out no matter what.
Hearing this, Shu Yao's cold heart suddenly warmed up. Is this what it feels like to have a brother? Her moist eyes met Shu Ting's sincere and firm eyes, and she called softly: "Brother."
"Don't be afraid, big brother will never abandon you again."
Don't be afraid of this, his firm defense made her eyes filled with tears.
The scene of deep love between brother and sister was really annoying to Aunt Han. With her sharp and mean face, she said in a sinister way:
"Oh, the love between brother and sister is really deep. Young Master, have you forgotten that when you were young, it was because your good sister was destined to be evil? She had the fate to overthrow your brother, your father, and your mother, so that led to your death.
Frail and sick, lingering on the sick bed, have you forgotten?!"
When Shu Ting heard this, he felt even more disgusted with Aunt Han's vicious face, and said angrily: "Shut up, what does my weak childhood have to do with my little sister? Don't bring up the theory of gods and ghosts again, I don't believe in this evil."
Shu Wanwan had tears in her eyes. Why did her eldest brother, who had always doted on her, focus so much on protecting Shu Yao? They had only just known each other! How could they have feelings?
In what way is she inferior to Shu Yao? She turned her head to look at Shu Ting and said sadly:
"Brother, that's not what my aunt means. She is also doing it for the good of eldest brother and the good of this family. Didn't we live very well in the past? We are a happy family. Brother, everything is going well with our family!"
After hearing this, Shu Ting sneered, glanced at her indifferently, and said sternly: "Do you still know that everything in your family will be prosperous?"
He had never thought that Wanmei, who had always been gentle and well-educated, would one day become so scheming, ruthless, and duplicitous. For so many years, he had not noticed at all.
He really underestimated the sister in front of him. They had lived together under the same roof for several years. Why did he only discover Shu Wanwan's true identity now?
The drama that was staged today was obviously her fault. After the incident, she caught the maid and threatened her secretly. He would be stupid if he didn't understand.
When Shu Wanwan heard this, her face turned pale and she became anxious. What did he mean? Was he doubting her?
The eldest brother has always loved her, why did it become like this?
Shu Shihuai was so noisy by them that his brain hurt, so he yelled a little impatiently: "Okay, stop arguing, I have my own opinion."
"Master... Tai... no, it's the Third Prince... Your Highness is here." As a panicked voice came, Butler Shu ran to the front hall in panic, pointed to the door, and said excitedly: "Master,
His Highness is here."
This voice made everyone in the room turn their attention to the door...
When he saw the person coming, Shu Shihuai looked startled, and immediately straightened his clothes nervously. He walked to the door, waved his hand towards the people in the room, and paid homage together: "I see you, Your Highness."
The visitor waved his hand and said gently: "Everyone, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Highness." Everyone stood up in panic.
When he raised his eyes, he saw that the man was wearing a light yellow brocade python robe, with a long body and a jade belt, and a strong narrow waist with a jade belt. The embroidery on the collar and sleeves was exquisite and luxurious.
The mutton-fat jade hairpin on her head tied half of her hair high, her cold eyes were slightly stern, her sword-shaped eyebrows were slightly raised, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and her beautiful profile was sharp and angular.
In addition, the whole person exudes a charming kingly aura, which makes people reluctant to take their eyes away from his face. I have to say that he is the best interpretation of perfection.
