Chapter 271: Home Accountability
"Shut up!" Yun Zheng felt his blood boiling as he listened to Song Yan's heart-wrenching words, and he couldn't help but put the blade in his hand against his neck again.
This time, Song Yan was not afraid at all.
She just looked at him quietly, as if she was sure that he would not kill her.
Seeing this, Yun Zheng's hand holding the dagger bulged with veins, but in the end...
He put his hand down again, leaving only a sentence that he would never let her get what she wanted, and then followed King Huai's footsteps and walked out of the woodshed.
Three days.
He has three days left.
He would definitely be able to find a solution that would both keep Wan'er and make Song Yan reveal her secret...
And Song Yan...
You should pay the price for what happened today!
Song Yan looked at Yun Zheng's back as he left. After standing still for a moment, she seemed to have lost all her energy and sat back on the ground in a daze.
Seeing this, Yinshuang hurriedly hugged the young lady and burst into tears.
"Miss, why are you doing this?"
"Since the prince...why don't we leave this dangerous place..."
"Why do you have to stay and continue to entangle with the prince..."
She saw clearly that the prince was now filled with hatred for his young lady. She didn't understand why the young lady would use the talisman to fight to the death with the prince since she still had a life-saving talisman.
Isn't this making things difficult for yourself?
Song Yan listened to the voice coming from her ears, and there was only numbness in her eyes.
entanglement...
It's better than living with this empty body and no one to rely on!
She had given up everything to marry him.
I can't even have this thought...
……
When King Huai arrived at the main hall, Song Yi had already been "welcomed" into the hall by the servants of King Huai's mansion, with Song Jiu, who had recovered from his injuries, standing behind him.
Outside the door, there were more than a dozen guards from the prime minister's residence.
Seeing this scene, King Huai just had a smile on his face, as if he was not aware of the tense atmosphere, and he greeted Song Yidao warmly.
"Brother Song, why did you come here in person today without sending anyone to inform me? I can host a banquet with Zheng'er."
Song Yi looked at King Huai's smiling tiger appearance, but he had no intention of flattering him at all.
"Why do you ask when you already know the answer, Your Majesty?"
"My daughter nearly lost her life in Prince Huai's mansion, and even her unborn baby was nearly lost, yet no one in Prince Huai's mansion was informed. As a father, I owe her an explanation."
Upon hearing this, King Huai nodded quickly.
"Brother Song is right. I was thinking that you had just recovered from a serious injury and didn't want you to get too excited. That's why I wanted to wait until Wan'er woke up before letting Zheng'er tell you about this. I didn't expect you to find out first."
"I think it was Miss Jiang who told Brother Song... If that's the case, Brother Song should have heard what she said. They, mother and child, have been rescued. Brother Song can rest assured for the time being."
Song Yi just chuckled when he heard this.
"Peace of mind?"
"My daughter isn't ill, she's been poisoned. Does King Huai think he's going to send me away just because he says you're at peace?"
"Please, King Huai, bring out my rebellious daughter. I want to ask her where she learned these tricks: first, she married off her father, then murdered her elder sister!"
King Huai listened to Song Yi's words and waved his hand.
"Brother Song, please be at ease. Even if you don't want to tell me, I am just about to tell you about this matter."
"Zheng'er and I have just found out that the person who poisoned Song Yan was not Song Yan, but someone else. It was just a coincidence that the girl next to her in the pavilion looked at the eaves today. I didn't expect that she would accidentally discover the truth."
"I'll have someone bring the real culprit here and I'll give Brother Song an explanation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, King Huai immediately asked his servants to go and urge him.
When Song Yi heard what King Huai said, he already knew the attitude of King Huai's Mansion towards this matter.
It seems...
They wanted to save Song Yan.
But according to what Wan'er said today, Yun Zheng had the intention to kill Song Yan.
He was worried that Prince Huai's Mansion would take advantage of the time before he came to deal with the person.
Who knew they would change their attitude in such a short time?
It seems that something else happened during the time he was here...
While Song Yi was thinking, Yun Zheng had already walked in, escorting Nichang, whose face was as pale as paper.
Yun Zheng concealed his emotions and walked forward to bow to Song Yi.
"Father-in-law, this is the real murderer who poisoned Wan'er. She was originally a servant in my house. Since Wan'er became pregnant, she has been responsible for taking care of her closely."
"Who knew she would actually have such thoughts... Now that the evidence is solid, if my father-in-law has anything to say, please feel free to ask her."
Upon hearing this, Song Yi glanced at Nichang, who was kneeling on the ground and looked pale.
"absurd!"
"How could a maidservant have such a deep hatred that she would kill my daughter? And how could she have the courage to murder her master? And how could she have such a mysterious poison?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Zheng took a step forward and continued to bow to Song Yi.
"Father-in-law, please be patient. There is indeed something behind this."
Then he turned his gaze to Nishang.
"Still not telling the truth?"
Nishang felt a chill run down her spine when she heard the prince's frank words.
She and Xing'er had just been guarding the Crown Prince's Consort's room, and were happy that the Crown Prince's Consort was rescued.
After all, the prince had already said that if the princess really died of poisoning, she and Xing'er would definitely be punished.
Xing'er didn't know the rules of Prince Huai's Mansion, but she did. She might even lose her life...
But before she could be happy for long, the prince had her brought before him and asked her to plead guilty to poisoning the prince's wife.
otherwise……
Her parents and her family all had no way to survive.
Nichang thought about it, feeling disheartened. She concealed her panic, raised her head, a hint of madness appeared in her eyes, and she sneered.
"Now that things have come to this, what else do you want me to say? When you, the Prince Huai, disregarded human life and killed my beloved, you should have thought this day would come!"
"He was just distracted for a moment and stole some gold and silver. Why was he beaten to death by the guards of the evil palace? This is all your own fault!"
"Although I have no grudge against the Crown Prince's Consort, she is pregnant with the blood of your Huai Palace! And you value her so much!"
"Only she can let you experience the pain of losing your loved one!"
