Chapter 320: Poison Hidden in the Fan
What should she do? What should she do?
Murder? Silencing?

No! None of these will work!
She doesn't have the time...

Just as Zhao Yiran was still thinking, the voice of Madam Zhao was heard, "Someone, come! Also call the third son over. Such a big thing happened in his third room. It would be embarrassing for him, the head of the family, not to be here!"

"Also, hold this thief down for me, and let's go to the lobby first!"

Xier is right, this is a boudoir, not a place to interrogate a criminal!
Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but glare at the people around her. She had been the mistress of the house for so many years, but she couldn't even consider this!

After receiving the hint from her mother-in-law, Madam Zhao smiled bitterly to herself. It was true that she knew this, but she didn't want the matter to become a big deal and damage Xier's reputation.

But now that the old lady has said so, Xier doesn't mind and she has nothing to say about this matter.

Wait until everyone arrives in the lobby.

Not only the third branch of the Zhao family, but almost everyone in the family who received the message appeared here.

Among them, Madam Zhao Er and the Zhao Linshu brothers were particularly concerned about Bai Qianxi. They had a general understanding of what had happened, but as for the details, they were not very clear.

The old lady sat in the main seat, with Bai Qianxi beside her. As for Zhao Yiran, she just wanted to follow her mother.

"I'm sure you've all heard what happened. I have nothing to hide about this matter. Now that you're all here, please tell me your opinions first."

"There is also the third room. The people are your relatives and you brought them to your house. You also need to give Xier an explanation for this matter." Hearing the old lady's faint voice, the people present couldn't help but look at each other.

As for Li Yan, he was still being pressed to his knees on the ground, and no one paid any attention to him.

"Mom, can we discuss this matter later? The most important thing now is to interrogate this thief and ask him how he dared to do such a bold thing!" The third wife of the Zhao family spoke with a stiff upper lip, while glaring at her wife beside her.

This is your relative from your mother's side, and now you want me to take the blame for you!
Although he was angry in his heart, Zhao Laosan's attitude in front of the old lady was undoubtedly more respectful.

After her reminder, the old lady seemed to no longer focus her eyes on him, and turned her eyes to look at the person who was pressed down and kneeling on the ground.

"Young man from the Li family, tell me the truth. Who is behind this? If you are willing to confess, you may be exempted from punishment. Otherwise, you will definitely suffer physical pain." The old lady's voice was not loud, but full of majesty.

But in the face of such threats, Li Yan always insisted on his own statement, "Grandfather, this is really just a misunderstanding. I admit that what I did may be wrong, but..."

"I did all this for my cousin Xi... You don't know how urgent the situation was at the time. Yan'er had no other choice but to come up with this idea..."

"My cousin Xi suddenly fainted on the road. The servants who passed by at the time can testify for me."

"I just didn't want my cousin Xi to faint completely. Who knew that in the end, my good intentions led to a bad result and caused everyone to misunderstand me." Li Yan spoke with a look of guilt on his face.

It seemed that things were really as he said! Upon hearing this, Old Lady Zhao's face instantly turned ugly, "Damn you! Even at this time, you are still talking nonsense! I think if I don't torture you, you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"

Madam Zhao also looked unhappy. She heard it with her own ears, so how could it be false?

If he really had good intentions, how could he say such nonsense!
Not to mention the mess in the room, could it be that Xier did it herself?
The rest of the people present didn't expect that Li Yan was so bold that he could make up such nonsense!

However, they were not involved in the incident and did not know what the specific situation was like at the time.

If Li Yan refused to admit it, they would not be able to find evidence, and they really could not do anything to him according to Dongli's laws...

Thinking of this, everyone present looked grim. They had never seen such a shameless person!
It's obvious that the other party took advantage of a loophole in the law!
She was able to make excuses for such an obvious thing. No one present did not believe Old Madam Zhao. The old lady said it was true, so could it be fake?
Of course, this includes the third branch of the Zhao family.

"Since this is just a misunderstanding, let's leave it at that. Besides, there is no evidence to prove that Yan'er is really wrong. Mom, please don't bother our whole family with such trivial matters next time. I have official duties to attend to and cannot be delayed." When Zhao Laosan heard Li Yan say this, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether this was a misunderstanding or not, he hoped that it was a misunderstanding. Otherwise, once it was verified, the impact on their third room would be too profound.

There was no way Zhao Laosan's little thoughts could be hidden from the old lady's eyes. Looking at her son who seemed to be respectful, she felt a little upset. This third son also came out of her belly, so why was he so different from his two brothers!
"Stop talking nonsense! Can't you tell whether this is true or not? If you really can't tell, I think you should quit your job as an official!"

Zhao Laosan didn't expect his own mother to threaten him in this way. Knowing her temper well, he didn't dare to speak any more.

The atmosphere in the room was silent for a moment.

At this moment, Bai Qianxi's cold and powerful voice sounded, "Who said it was just a misunderstanding? What if I can find evidence?"

Everyone's eyes instantly turned to her, and Zhao Yiran's heart was also lifted.

Ignoring everyone's inquiring gazes, Bai Qianxi's expression was calm, but when she raised her hand, a folding fan instantly appeared in her hand, "I wonder if this... does it look familiar to everyone?"

As the folding fan opened, a familiar landscape painting came into view, and someone present instantly recognized it. Wasn't this the one that Li Yan always carried with him?

"I know you, but this..."

It's just a fan. How can it be used as evidence?
In this world, apart from military generals, which scholar doesn't have a few fans in his hands?

Everyone was puzzled, and the old lady was also a little confused, but she believed that Xier would never do anything without confidence!
Li Yan was the only one present who turned pale when he saw Bai Qianxi take out the familiar fan. His heart couldn't help but start beating fast.

He had clearly dealt with the fan when he realized something was wrong. How on earth did she find out?
No! It could also be that she wanted to blow him up!
He can't panic!

Li Yan kept comforting himself while staring at Bai Qianxi. He wanted to know what she was going to say!
"This folding fan may not look normal now, but Doctor Li, please come and bring a bowl of water." Ignoring Li Yan's complicated expression, Bai Qianxi spoke lightly.
