Chapter 1172 - 1168: Su Yingxue Takes Action, The Emperor Takes The Blame
Chapter 1172: Chapter 1168: Su Yingxue Takes Action, The Emperor Takes The Blame
“Indeed, you have been poisoned, and the one who harmed you will be investigated by someone,” Su Yingxue urged her to remain calm and to rest immediately, to restore her health for the continuation of the case.
However, Wang Yun was of a fiery temperament, and with reddened eyes, she struggled to get out of bed, “He and I are siblings, yet he could watch me die? Just to snatch the inheritance left by Daddy! It’s outrageous!”
She never counted on her profit-seeking brother Wang Ao as her support for the future, but she had never imagined… that sibling affection could wane to such an extent!
She grabbed Su Yingxue’s hand, “Auntie, take me to see the emperor! I can lead people to dig up Daddy’s coffin to expose not only the person who harmed Daddy but also those who tried to cover it up, and bring them all to justice!”
Seeing her determination, Su Yingxue did not stop her but helped her up and let her go to the main hall.
Wang Yun’s body was still very weak. She knelt on her knees and, with a pale face, kowtowed to Chu Yihan, “Your Majesty, I previously accused Xiao Hui of collaborating with my father in drunkenness with the intent to kill him! Now, I would also like to ask Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the relationship between my brother Wang Ao and Xiao Hui! After my father’s death, they had clandestine dealings, and Wang Ao, because I proposed to file a complaint in Yangzhou Prefecture, beat and scolded me numerous times and locked me at home. The petition to Yangzhou Prefecture was filed only because I took advantage of a moment when the servants were not vigilant to climb over the wall and submit it! And just now I…”
Had Su Yingxue not instructed her, not to reveal her poisoning at this time, she would have loved nothing more than to peel off Wang Ao’s skin to see whether his heart was black or not!
Wang Ao, with his scalp tingling, heard everything he wanted to hide being revealed by Wang Yun. Enraged and ashamed, he turned and slapped her, “You foolish girl! I am your own brother, who provides for you and will have to support you in the future! And yet, you frame me like this! You really are a lowlife!”
“You are the lowlife!” Wang Yun, clutching her face, was filled with resentment, “You clearly do not want to share the inheritance with me. You want to keep all the Wang Family’s wealth to yourself; that is why you hastily buried Daddy! You only live for your own interests!”
Greed, without family affection, nor any regard for life!
Wang Yun stripped bare all of Wang Ao’s deep-seated secrets, leaving him exposed as if before a crowd, to the point that even Wang Jingzhi looked at Wang Ao with a face full of contempt.
Blind with rage, Wang Ao stood up, intending to kick Wang Yun.
Wang Yun, a frail woman, could only try to dodge in fear.
As she thought she was about to be kicked and injured, a peach-colored shadow flashed by. Su Yingxue kicked out, sending Wang Ao flying before he crashed into a row of chairs, creating a cacophony of crashing sounds.
“Ah—”
His scream, accompanied by the sound of breaking furniture and splintering wood, was piercingly sharp.
Wang Jingzhi and the bailiffs behind him were stunned at this scene.
He instinctively wanted to warn, “Auntie…”
The emperor is right here!
Your kicking… oh no, your rashness is a bit too much, isn’t it?
Su Yingxue shook her skirt and lightly coughed, returning decorously to Chu Yihan’s side, “This was the emperor’s will.”
Her foot may have been too eager to strike, but framing the deed on Chu Yihan was possible!
After all, she was now a maid and not afraid!
Chu Yihan glanced at her as if to ask: Do you find it amusing to frame me?
Su Yingxue nodded again and again, Yes, yes! Extremely amusing!
Shifting the blame to the emperor while she took action was utterly satisfying!
It was just perfectly coordinated!
