Chapter 526 Witness
After a while, Shen Wantang waited until the quarrel between the mother and daughter subsided before slowly walking towards the cell.
She raised her hands and clapped, "Great, really great, keep arguing, why don't you stop arguing?"
When Qi saw Shen Wantang, her eyes immediately turned red: "You little bastard, how dare you come here?! You'd better not let me out. If I go out, I will definitely kill you first!"
Shen Wantang smiled with some pleasure: "Don't worry, now that you're in, you can't get out. After all, you've already killed someone, right?"
"I didn't kill anyone!"
Qi yelled at the top of his lungs: "You are the one who killed me! You are framing me!"
Shen Wantang shook her head: "You can only use this to deceive your daughter, but not anyone else. The government officials are not vegetarians. They must have evidence of your poisoning, so they arrested you."
"What evidence do they have? They don't have any evidence at all! If I really killed someone, how could I leave any evidence? Even if they have evidence, it must be forged by you!"
"is it?"
Shen Wantang looked at her coldly and raised his hand to high-five her.
As the high-fives sounded, a maid dressed in green came over and said, "I am Yunlian, your servant. I greet the Crown Prince's wife, the Madam, and the Eldest Miss."
"Yunlian? What are you doing here?"
Shen Mingxuan's face was full of suspicion. Yunlian was a maid her mother had just bought at the beginning of this year. Because she was smart in speaking and doing things and was willing to work hard, she quickly became a second-class maid beside her mother.
This cell is not accessible to ordinary people, so how could Yunlian get in?
Shen Mingxuan turned to look at her mother, only to find that the color on her mother's face disappeared without a trace in an instant when she saw Yunlian.
Qi was as if she had seen a ghost: "You, how are you still alive? This is impossible!"
Yunlian raised her head, revealing the scars on her face. "Madam, I am lucky to have survived. Why are you so scared? Do you think that since I am alive, you can no longer hide the fact that you killed Mr. Liao's mother?"
"You're talking nonsense! I didn't kill that old hag!"
"Madam, don't worry. I didn't use all the poison you gave me. I still have some left. I have already handed it over to the government. I have also told the officials about other dirty things you asked me to do."
"Nonsense! It's all nonsense! I didn't tell you anything. You must have been sent by Shen Wantang to frame me!"
Yunlian looked at Shen Mingxuan and said, "Miss, I didn't lie. It was Madam who ordered me to poison your mother."
"I was unwilling at first, but Madam poisoned me and said that I would only be given the antidote if I followed her instructions. In order to save my life, I had no choice but to do this bad thing."
"But after my mother died, my wife regretted it and refused to give me the antidote. The poison caused my whole body to fester and I was in excruciating pain. Fortunately, the Crown Prince's wife saved me and I barely survived."
"I didn't dare to report you to the government, but the Crown Prince's wife said that she didn't want the young lady to suffer this unjust accusation and bear the evil reputation of poisoning her mother-in-law, so she encouraged me to stand up and clear your name, so I came here."
After hearing this, Shen Mingxuan felt as if she was falling into an ice cellar.
She turned her head stiffly and looked at Qi: "So, you really killed that person!"
"It's not me. Why do you believe everything others say, but not what I say?"
"You killed someone, but you asked me to go to jail for you! Why? Why did you do this to me? Didn't you always say that you loved me the most? Aren't you willing to do anything for me?"
Shen Mingxuan said, grabbing Qi's clothes tightly: "Why did you lie to me? Why did you hurt me?!"
Qi angrily scolded her, "I'm your mother, how could I possibly harm you! I'm doing this for your own good! As long as that old hag doesn't die, you'll have to serve her and be suppressed by her for the rest of your life!"
"It's really you?!!"
Shen Mingxuan was almost vomiting blood in anger. She roared madly: "Are you crazy? Why kill my mother-in-law?! Do you know how much effort I have made to make Liao Youhe like me? If you kill his mother, he will hate me to death! All my efforts will be gone! I worked hard to plan, thinking that I finally found a good home for myself in this life, and now it's all ruined by you!"
"What kind of good destination is Liao Youhe? He is just a waste!"
"He's not a waste, he has great luck! He's going to be a high-ranking official!"
"He has a shitty fortune, it's you who's been crazy and stubborn! I told you to marry the Prince of Ning, but you refused to listen and insisted on marrying Liao Youhe, a poor scholar! Look at the life Shen Wantang is leading, and then look at the life you are leading. Don't you feel ashamed? Don't you think you chose the wrong person?!"
Shen Mingxuan yelled, "In my previous life, I listened to you and chose Xiao Qingyuan, but I ended up being a widow my whole life! I even died tragically in prison, you have no idea how bad my life was! In my previous life, Shen Wantang married Liao Youhe, and she lived a thousand times better than me! That's why I chose Liao Youhe in this life!"
Qi screamed, "What you said about the past life is not true at all! Liao Youhe never passed the imperial examination, he can't solve the case, and he doesn't even love his wife! Everything is your fantasy, can't you see it? You are sick, very sick!"
Shen Wantang listened to the mother and daughter arguing again, smiled indifferently, then turned and walked out.
Go ahead and quarrel. The louder the better.
After leaving the cell, Shen Wantang asked Du Juan to give the jailer a reward. The jailer smiled and respectfully sent her to the gate.
Before getting on the carriage, Shen Wantang looked at Yunlian and said, "You have avenged your great hatred. Go and live your peaceful life!"
Yunlian knelt down in front of her and kowtowed to Shen Wantang: "Thank you, Princess, for helping me to avenge my sister! My sister and I depended on each other for survival. When my wife went to the human traffickers to pick someone, I thought she was a good person, so I tried to send my sister to the Shen family. I didn't expect that she would be beaten to death by my wife less than a year after she entered the Shen family!"
"I am a maid in another family, and I have no way to avenge my sister. Thanks to the Crown Prince's Consort for helping me enter the Shen family as a maid of the Madam, I now have the opportunity to gain her trust and avenge my sister."
"I will never forget the great kindness of the Crown Prince's Consort! If you need Yunlian in the future, just let me know!"
Shen Wantang sighed softly: "You are also a pitiful person, go."
Yunlian wiped her tears, kowtowed to Shen Wantang again, then stood up and left.
