Shengjing Noble

Chapter 308 Intolerable

"It has nothing to do with you, get out of the way!"

She was still as rude as ever, but Su Lanyin didn't care. She exchanged a glance with Fu Wuyang, and they both took a few steps forward at the same time, approaching Jiang Xuan.

Seeing them getting closer and closer to her, Jiang Xuan's eyes became evasive and her tone became more irritated.

"What do you want to do? I warn you not to come over here, or I will be rude to you!"

Su Lanyin curled her lips: "Oh? I'm curious about how the Madam is so impolite."

After saying that, she reached out to grab the box in Jiang Xuan's arms, but she deliberately slowed down her movements to let the other party dodge it.

At this moment, Su Lanyin was like playing with a wild cat. She knew that the cat could not escape from her grasp, but she was not in a hurry to close the net.

"Get away and don't touch my things!"

Jiang Xuan held the box tightly in her arms and backed away until her shoulder hit something hard.

She looked back and saw Fu Wuyang holding the hilt of his sword against her with an expressionless face.

Seeing that there was no way out, she looked at Su Lanyin again, and after thinking over and over again, she decided that it would be easier to get through to the woman's side.

Then, a hint of cruelty flashed in Jiang Xuan's eyes, and she rushed towards Su Lanyin directly.

She thought there was a glimmer of hope, but unexpectedly, the seemingly weak girl kicked her to the ground.

"what!"

Jiang Xuan fell heavily to the ground, screamed in pain, and lost her grip on the box in her hand, rolling half a meter away.

Before she could react, Su Lanyin had already walked to the box, squatted down, picked it up, and opened the lid to see the wine glass inside.

"Do not……"

Seeing that everything in front of her had already happened and there was no possibility of change, the anger, ruthlessness and unwillingness in Jiang Xuan's eyes turned into despair and helplessness.

She shook her head gently, as if she was afraid to face the reality, and hot tears welled up in her eyes and slid down her cheeks.

"It's not me...it's not mine..."

Su Lanyin took out the cup and smelled it. It was obviously rinsed by someone else. Unfortunately, the residual arsenic was too high and she could tell at once by the smell.

"This is the cup that killed Muzi, Madam. The evidence is irrefutable. How can you argue?"

Jiang Xuan immediately defended herself when she heard this: "It's not me. This cup is not mine, and you have already found the other cup, right? Why do you say this is the one?"

Su Lanyin walked up to her and looked down at her, with a smile on her lips.

"If I hadn't pretended to have found the cup, why would you have stayed up late at night to come and check if the cup was still there?"

Jiang Xuan was completely stunned. She stared at her in amazement and it took her a long time to react.

"Is...is it fake? You...you lied to me?"

"This is called all is fair in war." Fu Wuyang said in a deep voice.

A trace of regret flashed in Jiang Xuan's eyes, and she fell to the ground and cried in pain.

"It's not me... This cup really isn't mine... I don't know how it ended up in my room."

She looked extremely aggrieved, but it didn't seem like she was pretending.

Su Lanyin handed the cup to Fu Wuyang for safekeeping, then went over to help Jiang Xuan up.

"Are you going to tell me or go to the government office?" she asked coldly.

Jiang Xuan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and immediately grabbed her arm excitedly: "I'm telling you, I'll tell you everything I know!"

"Let's go."

The two took Jiang Xuan back to their residence.

inside the house.

Su Lanyin poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it over, saying, "Madam, have a cup of tea to calm your nerves."

"Thank you..." Jiang Xuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, barely suppressing the nervousness and uneasiness in her heart.

Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang sat down opposite her, looking like they were interrogating a prisoner.

"You can say it now."

"I say!" Jiang Xuan immediately put down the cup and explained, "On the day Muzi died, I was busy in the medicine shop until noon before I came back. As soon as I walked in, I saw this cup on my pillow. At that time, I wondered which servant was so careless in his work, but I was too lazy to care, so I picked it up and put it on the table."

"Later, I heard that Muzi had died, so I sent someone to find out the details. I heard that he died of poisoning, so I thought of going to Nuanxiang Pavilion to take a look. As a result, when I entered the room, I saw that the wine glass on the table was exactly the same as the one on my bedside."

"I immediately realized that someone must be trying to frame me, so I thought about handing the cup over to the government office. Just as I was leaving, I heard from the servants that the county magistrate had beaten Kang Chenxi with a stick without any reason and had locked him up."

"I suspect that the county magistrate is probably an accomplice. Even if he is not, he must have received benefits from the real murderer. If I hand over this cup, I will definitely be treated as a murderer!"

"So I just went all out and buried the cup in the backyard so that no one could find it. But I never expected that you would have that cup. I panicked when I heard what you said!"

"I was afraid of being discovered. My son was still so young, and he couldn't live without me. So the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became. I could only go and dig it out at night to have a look, and then... I met you guys."

After listening to her story, Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang looked at each other without much doubt.

However, Su Lanyin was more curious about something else.

"Who do you think would frame you like this?"

"I don't know. Maybe Muzi wanted to avenge me and was willing to sacrifice her own life because she hated me so much."

"You killed her parents, so naturally she hates you."

"But her parents are too bullying..." Jiang Xuan was forced into a corner. She regretted what she said when it came to her lips. She covered her mouth and lowered her head, not daring to say anything more.

Su Lanyin was in no hurry to urge him. She played with the cup in her hand and said nonchalantly, "If you don't explain clearly, I'm afraid this cup will have to be handed over to the government."

"Don't! I'll tell you! Isn't it okay for me to tell you..."

Jiang Xuan's soft spot was pinched, so she had to lower her head and explain everything.

"When I first married into the Kang family, Kang Chenxi was always at odds with me. He would either throw dead mice on my bed or add something to my tea. I couldn't stand him any more, so I thought about teaching him a lesson."

"So I pushed him into the meditation lake in the back garden when no one was around, but I really didn't mean to kill him. After all, I was just a 15-year-old girl at the time."

"I didn't expect he couldn't swim. When she yelled for help, I panicked. I was so scared that my mind went blank. I didn't know what was going on, so I turned and ran."

"Luckily, Muzi showed up that day and rescued him. Although he didn't die, this incident became my nightmare. I lived in fear all day, fearing that Muzi would see everything and expose me."

"But she didn't say anything, so I thought maybe she didn't know at all. Then I slowly forgot about it until Muzi's parents suddenly found me a few years ago!"
