Chapter 16 Xiangye confessed
When Xiang Ye saw that the truth had been revealed, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Su Nanyi: "Princess, Princess, please forgive me."

Seeing Xiang Ye still holding on, Su Nanyi could not help but get angry: "You asked me to spare you, then tell me how I can spare you. You are about to kill me and you still want to beg for mercy. What? My life is not as important as yours, so I will spare you just by begging for mercy?
Then who will spare me?

But as long as you tell me where the poison came from, I might be able to give you a lighter sentence. Otherwise, I will make sure you and your family live a life worse than death."

Although Xiangye was sold to the Su family to be a maid since she was a child, her family lived in a village outside the capital, and she had parents, brothers and sisters at home.

There were so many brothers and sisters in her family that her parents couldn't afford to support her, so they sold her.

Moreover, she had to take her monthly salary back home to support her brothers' education, to bring honor to the family, and to redeem her one day.

Su Nanyi threatened her with her family, ensuring that she would commit the crime.

"Slave, slave, slave..."

Sure enough, Xiangye felt threatened and she started stuttering in panic.

Although Xiangye was stuttering and couldn't speak, she knew that once she said it, her dream of becoming an aunt would be shattered and her life would be in danger.

But if I don’t tell it, my family will be implicated, especially my second brother, who will also meet his end this year.

Xiangye felt extremely conflicted for a moment, as if something was grabbing her in the heart, making her not know what to do.

Seeing that she was struggling, Su Nanyi added fuel to the fire: "Tell me, where did this poison come from? If you tell me, I can only punish you."

These words happened to be heard by Ling Xiao who was walking to the door. He waved his hand and asked everyone to stop immediately.

After Ling Xiao spoke, no one outside dared to say a word. They all pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation inside.

Only Li Yuzhu felt panicked when she heard this. She knew Xiang Ye had failed. She clenched her fists and carefully watched the changes on Ling Xiao's face, only to see that his face was gloomy.

She stepped forward and held Ling Xiao's hand, wanting to speak up to interrupt Xiang Ye so that she would know that she was here and not tell anyone.

And this whole thing was probably planned by that idiot Su Nanyi, who deliberately called her and Ling Xiao here.

But when she pulled Ling Xiao's hand, Ling Xiao seemed to know that she was about to speak and shook his head at her.

Li Yuzhu's words were stuck in her throat but she had to swallow them back. She was so angry and thought to herself, could it be that Ling Xiao really wanted to know who poisoned Su Nanyi?

When did he care about her so much?
This is not a good sign.

At this point, Li Yuzhu had no choice but to grit her teeth and listen. She believed that even if Xiangye betrayed her, Ling Xiao would not believe it.

Her character in front of him has always been clear about good and evil, upright and honest, and she would never use such despicable means to harm others.

She would also think that Xiangye was just biting her randomly, because Xiangye was Su Nanyi's girl, so it was normal for her to dislike her.

After realizing this, Li Yuzhu calmed down.

Su Nanyi's words in the room made Xiangye compromise. She believed what Su Nanyi said and knew that she would only punish her for real.

She closed her eyes and made up her mind: "Princess, I have given you instructions. I only hope that you will keep your word."

Su Nanyi: "I always keep my word."

Xiang Ye got the assurance and then said, "Yes, it was given to me by Aunt Li. She asked me to poison you, Princess. She said that this packet of medicine should be taken in two doses, and you will die after taking it.

Aunt Li also promised me that if I succeeded, she would let me become the prince's aunt when the princess died. "You are such a bold maid, stop talking nonsense."

After hearing this, Ling Xiao was so furious that he pushed the door open and glared at Xiang Ye. This slut was so despicable that she actually bit Zhu'er. Zhu'er was loved by him, so was there a need to poison Su Nanyi?

Besides, she is not that kind of person, but this bitch actually said that it was Zhu'er who poisoned her.

He wanted to hear Xiangye tell him who instructed her to do so so that he could find that person out. She was the one who dared to poison his offspring and didn't want to die.

He didn't like Su Nanyi, but he would never allow her to poison his child.

No one is allowed to slander Zhu'er.

"Ah! Your Majesty, what I said is true. I did not slander Aunt Li. It was Aunt Li who really gave it to me. Your Majesty, you must believe me. I am just a maidservant of the princess. How could I have the money to buy poison? And I have never left the house."

When Xiang Ye saw Ling Xiao, she was so scared that she collapsed to the ground and hurriedly tried to defend herself.

She knew that if she didn't explain clearly now, she would be beaten and killed immediately.

"Slut, why do you want to slander me like this? How did I offend you? You said I gave it to you. What evidence do you have?"

Li Yuzhu couldn't believe that Xiangye would actually betray her in order to save her life. She gritted her teeth and said aggressively.

"Yes, you said Zhu'er gave you poison, what evidence do you have?"

Ling Xiao didn't believe that it was Li Yuzhu who did it, and he immediately questioned Xiang Ye.

Su Nanyi looked at the two dogs with sarcasm. There was physical evidence and Xiang Ye said it herself, but Ling Xiao, this dog, still didn't believe it.

This bastard would only believe it if he died at Li Yuzhu's hands.

Xiangye was asked and she was a little confused. Didn't her words count?
She glanced at Ling Xiao, and his icy eyes made her shudder. She quickly said, "Only I and Aunt Li were there at the time. I have no witnesses, so I am the witness."

Then she pointed to the half packet of medicine powder in Su Nanyi's hand and said, "There is still half a packet of medicine powder here. Aunt Li has more. Aunt Li took out more than one packet, but several packets, which were picked out from there.

If you don't believe me, you can search Aunt Li's room right now, and you will definitely find other medicine bags."

"Your Highness, if this girl asked you to search, then send someone to search to see if Zhu'er has any poison. This will also help clear her name."

Li Yuzhu didn't dare to enter the house, so she stood at the door and immediately spoke up, saying that it was indeed her and Xiangye who were in the house at that time, and that she did take out several packets of poison and picked one for Xiangye.

However, the remaining medicine bags were placed in the space, and even if she dug deep in her house, it would be impossible to find any poison.

She also hoped that Ling Xiao would send people to search. If they couldn't find the poison, who would believe what Xiang Ye said? They might even say that Su Nanyi and her servant staged a play by themselves.

Su Nanyi knew that Ling Xiao sent people to search but found nothing, which would only clear Li Yuzhu of suspicion. How could she fulfill Li Yuzhu's wish?

Today she had no intention of killing Li Yuzhu all at once, she just wanted to put a thorn in Ling Xiao's heart.

So she stood up, bowed to Ling Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to search. No matter who wanted to poison me and the child in my belly, there is no way they could leave any evidence."

Ling Xiao looked at Su Nanyi solemnly: "Then how do you want to deal with this matter? You are the victim."
