The eldest sister of the poor family is unreliable

Chapter 43 Can't Give Up
Chen Yuanyuan's heart was full of sadness, she squeezed her palms tightly, and had to lower her head: "My lord, please listen to what the little girl has to say."

"Say!"

She stared straight at the maid who was kneeling in front of the hall, and asked in a cold voice: "Girl, you said you saw my father sneaking around outside the door, but did you see what he was doing?"

"It's a little far away, I can't see clearly!"

"That's because I didn't see my father poisoning me!"

"Chunxi didn't look at it very clearly, it seemed that he was holding something from his arms."

Seeing that the maid was so ambiguous, Chen Yuanyuan's eyes were cold, and she suddenly reprimanded: "Whether you see clearly, you just need to say whether you have or not!!!"

The sudden rising momentum startled even Jing Zhaoyin in front of the hall.

The maid's face turned pale, and she lowered her head tremblingly.

She was panicked in her heart, if she said yes, if she saw someone poisoning and did not stop her, but even brought tea to the master, wouldn't she be an accomplice?

But if he said no...wouldn't he have lied earlier?

The servant girl thought about it carefully, and finally she was scruples about her own life and felt uneasy: "Chunxi didn't see it clearly."

Yuanyuan immediately sneered: "My lord, since Chunxi didn't see it, that means he can't testify! Since the evidence is insufficient, how can I convict my father? Although the residual medicine powder was found on my father, who can guarantee it?" Didn't someone else put the blame on my father?"

After hearing this, Liu Yueniang on the side squeezed the handkerchief tightly, she really is a eloquent girl!
Chen Yuanyuan's small face was wrinkled, but unfortunately her fingerprints were not clear. In addition, the government officials and Jing Zhaoyin had touched the medicine paper at that time, and the fingerprints were destroyed. Otherwise, the murderer could be identified by fingerprints.

After Chen's father heard his daughter's justification, his ashen eyes lit up with hope.

Seeing the pale face of Yuanyuan who was beaten, her eyes were red again. I don't know when my girl has grown up to be able to be alone.

"You girl is clearly sophistry!" Mrs. Liu broke down in tears.

"How to argue?" Chen Yuanyuan sneered: "If Chunxi's one-sided words are the only ones I can say, then I can still say that Chunxi poisoned me to wrong my father on purpose!"

After the words fell, Miss Liu beside her was sobbing uncontrollably.

"My poor father, I will die with peace! My lord, you must make the decision for the little woman. If my husband finds out, he will be very sad."

This is to tell Jing Zhaoyin with his husband, hurry up and make a decision?
Chen Yuanyuan's face was livid, trying to suppress the anger and helplessness in her heart, she must calm down now!

Seeing Jing Zhaoyin holding up the warrant, she clenched her fists and shouted in shock: "Slow down!"

"My lord, although my Chen family has entanglements with the Liu family, but my father has a kind heart and absolutely cannot commit murder!"

"Since the evidence is insufficient, my lord, I can argue for my father, and the case will not be wronged at the feet of the emperor. I believe that my lord will see clearly! Please give me some more time, my lord, and I will definitely find a way to prove my father's innocence."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Song is here to pay respects to your lord, it is better to listen to what Song has to say."

The person who came was dressed in white, and his face was somewhat similar to Shopkeeper Song's. He was actually Shopkeeper Song's son—Song Zhiyuan, a sixth-rank official.

He only heard his elegant and gentle voice: "Your Excellency is clearly aware of the details, but he is the official of the parents of the common people. Since the evidence is insufficient, why not investigate it carefully?"

Jing Zhaoyin looked at the man outside the courtroom, and it turned out to be Song Zhiyuan!

I heard that Song Zhiyuan had friendship with many bureaucrats, and also with King Xiaoyao.He frowned, and could only say: "In that case, Chen Yuanyuan, I will give you another three days!"

Chen Yuanyuan's face immediately beamed with joy, her tense body relaxed, and she felt that the strength in her whole body seemed to be drained.

Regardless of whether it was good or bad in the previous life, the bottom line is that you still lived in an ivory tower. Now life and death are but a moment, and if there is even a slight hesitation, it will be irreversible.

Jing Zhaoyin is a third-rank Beijing official, and he goes to the palace every day to face up to the emperor. How can his official prestige be compared with ordinary low-ranking officials? This is the first time he has to deal with this kind of thing, after all, he can't bear it.

At this time, she realized that her palms and back were already wet and cold.

In view of Song Zhiyuan's face and the lack of evidence in this case, he had to be detained for retrial.

Watching the yamen servant take her father away, Chen Yuanyuan was very worried when she thought of the days she spent with Chen's father.Although it's only been two months, she has endured joys, sorrows, sorrows, ups and downs together, and she has long regarded them as relatives.

"Father, don't be afraid, Yuanyuan will definitely rescue you!"

Chen's father held back his tears and had no choice but to nod, unable to say anything after a thousand words.

If he can't escape this catastrophe and die without regret, Yuanyuan can take care of the Chen family by herself in the future.

***
After leaving the government office, Chen Yuanyuan supported the limp mother of Chen, and thanked the Song family father and son.

Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Song would call his own son to help. After all, they are just buddies, and it is rare to do so.

Chen Yuanyuan clasped her fists together, and bowed sincerely to the two: "You two have great kindness, Yuanyuan will definitely remember it in her heart!"

"The old man knows Zhengping's character to some extent. There is only this old man who can help you. The rest is up to you."

Chen Yuanyuan also knew it, and her heart fell to the bottom.

After the mother and daughter thanked each other, they went home.

Along the way, Chen Yuanyuan remained silent.

She was upset by the mother crying beside her, and she tried to tell herself to stay calm.She only has three days, and she must not waste a single bit.

She must save daddy!
Tong Shi, Chen Qingqing, and Chen Yunsheng had already heard the news and were waiting at home. When they saw the two came back, the grandparents and grandchildren looked at their wives with red eyes.

Before Chen's mother could say anything, Tong and Chen's mother had already started to cry together.

Chen Qingqing came over and hugged her, choked up and said, "Sister, is dad going to be beheaded?"

"Don't talk nonsense, sister will bring daddy back in a few days."

She gently rubbed the second sister's hair, remembering that although her father was strict in the past, but most of the time he had a playful smile, laughing and playing with the three siblings.

Now that there is one person missing in the family, the pain is so painful that I can't breathe.

The three siblings formed a group, Chen Yuanyuan took a deep breath, now was not the time to cry, her buttocks were spanked three times, and it hurt even to sit.

She simply climbed up to the eaves and stood quietly on a high place alone to clear her mind.

She tried to restore the scene of the crime. She had already seen the scene of the crime, and there was nothing unusual.

Heartbroken grass is a potent poison, and it will kill in a short time.Master Liu died on the spot in the restaurant, and the person who poisoned him must also be in the restaurant.

At that time, there were many people in the restaurant, apart from her father, the tea maker, and the members of the Liu family who had touched the tea.

The tea maker was in the lobby, and she was also there at that time. The tea maker never took his hands off the tea set, and he was a good old man of the restaurant under the eyes of everyone. He had no grievances or enmities with the Chen family.

When exactly was the poison dropped into the water?

How did the medicine package be placed on her father?
