With a very worried face, Yun Qianyu stood up and asked Yuan Xiang, “Scum servant, why did you poison my big sister’s porridge, who instructed you to do it?”
Yuan Xiang, able to serve under Yun Qianxue, was a smart servant. Naturally, she understood what Yun Qianxue meant and cried out, “It was Aunt Shen. Aunt Shen ordered me to do this. Because the third young miss was beaten by the eldest young miss, Aunt Shen became so angry that she wanted me to poison the eldest young miss.”
Hearing this, Yun Lei and Liu Shi were relieved. They were of course afraid that Yun Qianxue would be dragged into the matter.
After hearing Yuan Xiang’s words, Yun Lei became angry and ordered, “Men, bring Aunt Shen here and beat her to death.”
After Yun Lei said that, Liu Shi and Yun Qianxue were both relieved.
However, people in the hall were not fools. Xiao Yechen was the first to question this order.
“Marquis Yun, even if the person committed murder, they would only be convicted after interrogation and investigation. How can you convict someone without asking questions? Even the Emperor would ask questions before convicting people. Are you saying you’re more powerful than the Emperor?”
As soon as Xiao Yechen said that, Yun Lei became stunned and frightened. If what happened today was heard by the Emperor, he would be punished severely.
Immediately Yun Lei got up and apologized, “This servant does not mean that I was just too angry just now.”
Huai Prince, Xiao Tianyao looked at Xiao Yechen and said, “Xiao Yechen, please stop. This case is not closed yet.”
Huai Prince was very close to the Yun family. Naturally, he had to speak up for Yun Lei.
As soon as Xiao Tianyao said that, Xiao Tianyi chimed in, “Indeed. Why are you such a busybody? Does the investigation concern you?”
Xiao Yechen glared at Xiao Tianyi angrily when he heard that and wanted to talk back. However, Xiao Jiuyuan said impatiently, “Shut up, be quick with the investigation.”
Xiao Jiuyuan had become impatient after sitting there for such a long time. The more he waited, the more annoyed he was. The aura of anger around him was now very noticeable.
Not daring to anger Xiao Jiuyuan, Yun Lei immediately ordered, “Men, bring Aunt Shen here.”
“Yes.”
Immediately, the guard went out to fetch her. Yun Lei looked at Yun Qianyu, who was standing next to him, then said with a kind voice, “Yu’er, it seems that father and your grandmother had wronged you. Don’t worry, father will kill Aunt Shen to avenge you. Go rest if you’re tired, father can handle things from here.”
Obviously, Yun Lei wanted Yun Qianyu out of here as soon as possible.
He couldn’t allow this matter to get more out of hand. At this moment, Yun Lei was full of regret; he felt that he shouldn’t have invited Xiao Jiuyuan here. Now with Xiao Jiuyuan here, it made things even worse.
In the beginning, he was very confident he could deal with Yun Qianyu.
Even though Yun Lei felt bitter about the matter, he did not show his emotions. Still, he looked at Yun Qianyu with a kind face.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know Yun Qianyu’s personality. Yun Qianyu was not someone that would walk away after being bullied.
Yun Qianyu sneered and said with sarcasm, “I guess father still loves me. It seems I’m not adopted after all. When father previously insisted it was me that killed Nanny Jia, I thought, surely I am adopted, or maybe mother had an affair?”
