Ling Jinghan's gaze swept over the two servants that were waiting at the side. Seeing that Rong Zhennan did not refute or say anything, she stepped forward and stood in front of Mu Qianqian.
The pain on Mu Qianqian's face had yet to disappear. Seeing that Ling Jinghan had instinctively wanted to retreat and was being suppressed by her overwhelming aura for no reason, she felt guilty.
"Even if Yunrong came back, he might not be able to testify for Mu Qianqian. Yunrong had long been mesmerized by her face. You should know that Yunrong recently went to Southeast Asia to sell fruit for a month just to let Mu Qianqian have a sip of the freshest fruit juice every day!"
The crowd went into an uproar, while Rong Zhennan's face darkened to the extreme.
Rong Zhennan's gaze turned sharp when he thought about how his youngest son went against him ever since he came back with Mu Qianqian.
Since Ling Jinghan insisted on not letting her off, he didn't have any intention of protecting her. After all, she was still a woman that couldn't stand up for herself.
Ling Jinghan looked at Mu Qianqian with disdain. In front of everyone else, she looked like she was about to lose control of a daughter who did not hesitate to seek revenge for her father.
"Dear sister-in-law, Spring Peaches, the surveillance footage also shows that you entered while Mu Qianqian and Second Young Master were in the kitchen. Now, please answer a few questions for me!"
Both his wife and Spring Peaches looked at Old Master Rong. Seeing that he did not object, they quickly replied, "Yes, Miss Ling."
"Did you see what they were doing in the kitchen? Did Mu Qianqian touch anything in the kitchen? "
Your wife and Spring Peaches looked at each other, and in the end it was your wife who came forward to answer.
"Second Young Master went into the kitchen and helped Miss Mu stir-fry the potatoes. The two of them have been chatting all this time. Miss Mu has never touched the ingredients in the kitchen, but …"
"But what?" Ling Jinghan did not miss the hesitation in the servant's words.
"It's just that Miss Mu asked the lord about his medicinal food, and Second Young Master also explained that it was something the lord needed to supplement. Miss Mu was probably curious, so she touched the lid and got scalded, or maybe Second Young Master helped her deal with it."
"But I only saw Miss Mu touch the lid and didn't touch the contents."
"You said that Mu Qianqian touched the lid of the medicinal cuisine?" Ling Jinghan's voice was filled with an unconcealable urgency.
She was still thinking about how to connect this matter with Mu Qianqian, but she didn't expect to get any unexpected results. No wonder when she walked into the kitchen, she saw broken pieces of porcelain on the floor.
"Yes …" "Yes." Ling Jinghan's appearance frightened your wife, but she had to answer Ling Jinghan's question.
"She must have done it! It was precisely because my father ate Uncle Rong's medicinal food that he was poisoned! Mu Qianqian, maybe you didn't want to poison my father at all, but instead wanted to poison Uncle Rong! "
"No, I never thought about it like that. I just touched the lid, that's because Yunrong said it was made by Bai Sheng, so I was curious and went to open it!"
Compared to Ling Jinghan's domineering attitude, Mu Qianqian had calmed down at this moment. She explained leisurely in order to come up with an explanation.
She could feel Old Master Rong's dissatisfaction and hatred towards her. Perhaps the truth was not important to these people, they only wanted to find an excuse to drive her out of Rong Family.
"You must think so! Mu Qianqian, other people don't understand you, but I do? I heard that after you arrived at the Rong Family Great House, Uncle Rong didn't accept you. You must hold a grudge in your heart because you thought that after poisoning Uncle Rong, no one would be able to stop you and Heting! "
"Nonsense! Ling Jinghan, I've always wanted to leave Rong Heting. I've never planned to be with him and I don't want to do such a thing! "
"I'm spouting nonsense? "Heh, Mu Qianqian, if the poison hadn't occurred today, I wouldn't have wanted to say it. If you hadn't tried to hurt my father and Uncle Rong, I would have helped you hide it. But now, I have no choice but to tell everyone the truth!"
Ling Jinghan's eyes were filled with a malicious glint as she stared fixedly at Mu Qianqian. Her words, however, were directed at everyone in the banquet hall.
"Maybe I was wrong to say that you want to be with Heting, you really want to leave him, because you know in your heart that it is impossible for you two to be together," Ling Jinghan said ruthlessly. "It's not because you are a lowly person with the status of a plaything, but because you are the daughter of Shi Wenjie, the enemy of the Rong family!"
"Jinghan, what did you say?"
Even Nuo Wen, who had already sat down, lost her composure after Ling Jinghan said that. She suddenly stood up and looked at Ling Jinghan in disbelief.
Rong Zhennan also slightly moved his body. A flash of astonishment and grief appeared in Ling Yu's eyes, and he became even more suspicious when facing Mu Qianqian.
Everyone in the hall was stupefied. Everyone who had traveled for many years in the imperial city had heard of Shi Wenjie's name, that he was the culprit behind the death of Rong Heting's mother, Nuo Lady Ya. He was the one who stole the name of Ling Family's young miss!
If Mu Qianqian was Shi Wenjie's daughter, no one would ever pity her again.
Ting Lan closed her eyes and knew that she could no longer hide anything. Mu Qianqian's identity was a taboo that should not be touched in Rong Family Hall.
What should he do? What could she do to protect Qianqian?
"Mu Qianqian is Shi Wenjie's daughter. My big brother and Heting have both verified that Shi Wenjie changed his name to Mu Sheng more than a decade ago to hide himself and his two children!"
"Previously, Mu Qianqian's little brother, Mu Sheng, had tried to attack the island with his men and was found dead by Heting. Now, of course, Mu Qianqian has to take revenge!"
"So, I have enough reason to believe that the poison was administered by Mu Qianqian. If the servants didn't mention that she touched medicinal food, perhaps she could still say that she was wronged. But now, if Mu Qianqian doesn't give me enough evidence, I won't believe her no matter what!"
"She …" Is she really just Shi Wenjie's daughter? " Ling Yu stood up in excitement, looking at his mother's face which was exactly like the one in his memory. In his heart, a conjecture was constantly urging him to do so.
Ling Jinghan knew what Ling Yu and Nuo Wen were imagining.
"Father, my big brother has already compared DNA and DNA, she has nothing to do with our family! It's just Shi Wenjie's daughter! "
Ling Yu's hope was shattered by Ling Jinghan's words. He sat down in disappointment and covered his chest with his hands, suppressing the panic in his heart.
Nuo Wen rushed forward to help her husband get angry, but her eyes were red.
When Ling Yu had calmed down, Nuo Wen stared straight at Mu Qianqian with a thick hostility in her eyes.
"Shi Wenjie sure has good methods. Raising such a daughter and sending her to Heting's side, just how many more people does he want to kill for the Rong and Ling Families!?" I truly regret bringing him to Dragon Country with big sister back then, so there would never have been such a calamity like this! "
