Chapter 229 Private Settlement
Yan Xiuyuan looked at Jian Yue closely: "Is that so?"
Jian Yue looked at the people present one by one. No one was friendly to her, including her adopted father. She looked calm and said lightly: "Father, since Shopkeeper Su doesn't tell the truth, let's report to the police!"
Liao's heart skipped a beat and she threatened him immediately: "Do you think you will get what you deserve if you report this to the authorities?"
Jian Yue sneered: "I don't know whether I will have a good ending or not. But your Wen family will definitely have a bad ending. Poisoning the tea guest's room, what do you want? Just wait for the teahouse to close down and your whole family to go to jail!"
Liao's face turned pale and panic flashed in her eyes.
Yan said: "Princess Mingyue, you can't just accuse people without any evidence. You need evidence for everything."
Jian Yue glanced at her coldly: "My maid was drugged, this is the evidence. The reason why I didn't give her the antidote is because I was afraid that some shameless people would turn the tables on me."
Some shameless people:...
"I heard a noise coming from the private room next door. The smoke was blowing in from next door. Father, go see if the people next door have escaped."
Yan Xiuyuan was half-believing and half-doubting, and was about to push open the door next door, but Shopkeeper Su hurriedly stopped him: "The tea drinker next door has long left, Minister Yan, there is no need to look."
Yan Xiuyuan pushed him away and opened the door to the private room next door.
There was a person lying on the floor in the private room, but judging by his attire, he looked like a medicine boy.
Jian Yue stretched her head to take a look and said disdainfully: "The real murderer ran away without even taking his medicine boy with him. The poison doctor's method of using poison looks like that of the Ghost Gate. The Wen family is really powerful. They can actually hire the Ghost Gate poison doctor."
Liao's body was shaking, with deep fear in her eyes: "You, don't slander me. Don't forget that my son is also a victim."
Jian Yue sneered: "How can your son be considered a victim? He knocked Fu Yun unconscious and broke into the room with his guards. If they hadn't accidentally been hit by the smoke in the room, I wouldn't have been able to escape."
She looked at the people with different expressions and continued, "Fortunately, I took the antidote pill given by my master before I came here, otherwise, I might have died here. The Wen family is really brave! They dared to poison the princess personally appointed by the emperor in broad daylight. I don't know which big tree they rely on."
Everyone:......
Stop showing off! Which princess wasn't personally conferred by the emperor? Is it necessary to talk about it all day long?
Rong Wenxian frowned: "You said that the eldest son of the Wen family brought people into the room. Where was Madam Yan's maid at that time? I just saw a maid enter the room."
Jian Yue glanced at Yan Xiuyuan and said, "Biyu was standing outside the door with Fuyun at the time. I'm also wondering why Fuyun was knocked unconscious but Biyu was fine."
Yan Xiuyuan's eyelids jumped.
Yuan said: "Just call Biyu out and ask her and you'll know." As she said that, she asked Qingzhu, the maid beside her, to call Biyu out.
Qingzhu entered the room and quickly called Biyu out.
Biyu's eyes were red, as if she had been crying. She hung her hands, and when she saw the people outside, she lowered her head hastily.
Yuanshi: "Biyu, tell me the truth, what happened?"
Jian Yue said faintly: "Biyu, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise, you will be the first scapegoat to be pushed out."
Biyu shuddered, pursed her lips, and said slowly: "Madam invited Princess Mingyue to come here for tea. After Princess Mingyue came, Fuyun and I stood outside the door. After a while, I suddenly knew nothing. When I woke up, I saw the princess standing outside the door shouting."
Jian Yue looked at her with a half-smile: "Biyu, don't think that I can do nothing if you guys refuse to admit it. Don't forget, I have the truth pills given by my master. Although the truth pills are difficult to make and very rare, one or two are enough to make the truth of today's events clear." As she spoke, she looked at the others and asked in a consulting tone, "How about we let Master Wen take one first to see who is telling the truth and who is lying?"
Feeling everyone's tense nerves, Jian Yue suddenly laughed: "I wonder if anyone is worried that Master Wen said something he shouldn't have said?"
The second prince narrowed his eyes, and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
At this time, footsteps were heard behind him, and the head of the Wen family came hurriedly.
Shopkeeper Su hurried over and quickly recounted what had happened at the scene.
The head of the Wen family came over and saluted the second prince. Then he said to Yan Xiusheng and Yan Xiuyuan: "Minister Yan, Minister Yan, the incident has already happened. Why don't you sit down and discuss how to deal with it, try to minimize the damage, and not damage the reputation of the two families."
Yan Xiuyuan was furious: "My wife was framed..."
"Minister Yan," the head of the Wen family interrupted him and said meaningfully, "Don't jump to conclusions before things are clear, otherwise it will end badly."
Yan Xiusheng looked at the head of the Wen family, then at Yan Xiuyuan, and advised: "Second brother, don't be impulsive. There must be a solution to today's matter. Let's sit down and talk!"
Jian Yue said: "I will tell Master about what happened today and ask Master to talk to the Emperor."
Rong Wenxian snorted heavily.
The head of the Wen family was panicking, but he said with a fake smile: "Princess Mingyue, calm down first. This must be a misunderstanding. We will apologize for scaring you. Please be magnanimous and don't blame me."
"Haha! Such a shock from the Wen family that destroys someone's innocence is really unacceptable. The head of the Wen family should know better than me how important a woman's innocence is. If her innocence is gone, there is no point in dying to atone for her sins."
The head of the Wen family was choked to the point of turning purple. He clenched his teeth and said word by word: "Princess Mingyue, please don't push me too far. The princess knows best what she did in this."
Jian Yue sneered: "What a joke, I, the victim, am threatened. The Wen family is really arrogant. Okay! I won't push people too far. As long as my uncle and my father are willing to settle the matter peacefully, I won't report it to the police. But if the apology is not sincere, I will still report it to the police."
Jian Yue said as she took out a small porcelain bottle, uncorked it, and shook it under Fu Yun's nose. A pungent smell filled the air. But after a moment, Fu Yun woke up.
The autumn wind supported her.
Jian Yue said: "Let's go!"
The three of them walked away as if no one was around.
Yan and Liao were so angry that they tightened the handkerchiefs in their hands, but they could not do anything to her for the moment.
Later, Jian Yue didn't know how the Yan brothers talked to the Wen family. Qiu Feng, who was watching the teahouse, came back and said that the matter was finally settled privately, and the Wen family sent two large carts of gifts to the Shangshu Mansion.
In the evening, Ji Yunzhong came to visit Jian Yue and brought gifts and greetings from the Crown Princess. Ji Yunzhong said he could help her vent her anger, but Jian Yue refused: "Your Highness, don't bother, this matter is not over yet."
As for how it didn't end, Jian Yue didn't reveal it. Ji Yun looked at her mysterious look again...
