Fate's Little Feral Consort

Chapter 81 The Real Culprit

In the main hall, Yun Lei and the old madam were both taken aback when they heard what Yun Qianyu said. How could this woman still talk back at this time?

The old madam felt worried but still looked at Yun Qianyu angrily, “Your sophistries. Didn’t you hear all the evidence against…”

Before the old madam could finish her sentence Yun Qianyu said impatiently, “Are those even considered evidence? I only gave Nanny Jia the bowl of porridge, but the porridge came from the kitchen. Anyone could have had the opportunity to put in the poison. Why does it have to be me?”

“As for the wrapper, am I that stupid? Leaving it in the main hall for someone to find later on?”

Both the faces of Yun Lei and the old madam darkened.

Xiao Yechen chimed in and said, “Do you think Miss Yun is a fool? Leaving the wrapper for someone to find? As for the witness, who can prove that they saw Miss Yun drugging the porridge? These servants only proved that Miss Yun and Nanny Jia quarreled. Does that automatically mean that Miss Yun poisoned Nanny Jia after quarreling with her?”

After Xiao Yechen said that, both Yun Lei and the old madam were stunned. For a moment they didn’t know how to refute him.

Yun Qianxue, who had not spoken all the while, finally had something to say.

“In fact, my elder sister didn’t mean to hurt Nanny Jia. She just wanted to teach her a lesson. But who knew, Nanny Jia would fall into the lake in the backyard.”

Yun Qianxue’s words roused Yun Lei and the old madam. The old madam looked at Yun Qianyu and said, “You didn’t want to kill Nanny Jia at that time, so how could you carefully put away the wrapper? In fact, you only wanted to teach Nanny Jia a lesson. But who could have known that Nanny Jia would fall into a lake and die.”

After the old madam said that, Yun Lei chimed in, “Yu’er, Nanny Jia has served the old madam and me. How can you do this to her, causing her to lose a life? Even if you did it unintentionally, you still killed someone”

Yun Lei looked at Xiao Jiuyuan secretly after saying that.

Xiao Jiuyuan was tidying his clothes as if he were not interested in the matter. In fact, he was not only not interested, but also a little bored.

Wanting to end the matter as soon as possible, Yun Lei looked at Yun Qianyu and said, “Yu’er, you didn’t do it intentionally, father knows that. You just have to admit your mistakes.”

Yun Qianyu’s eyes were cold. If I admitted to it, the whole capital of Dongli would know how arrogant the future princess consort of Li Prince was. Trampling life without care.

If so, Xiao Jiuyuan would surely kill me for tarnishing his name.

Sneering, Yun Qianyu looked at the old madam and Yun Lei, “It seems that if I don’t prove something today, I’ll be convicted for sure. Fine, I’ll investigate to see who really put the poison into the porridge.”

Yun Qianyu turned his head and looked at Zhao Qingshan, the housekeeper, and ordered coldly, “Go to the kitchen and get all the people who have been to the kitchen today. Every last one that has been there today.”

Shocked by this request, Zhao Qingshan turned to look at the old madam and Yun Lei. Yun Qianyu sneered after seeing this, “What? Aren’t we investigating? Why aren’t you moving? Are you trying to make Li Prince lose face?”
