Chapter 797 - 797 Case Cleared
That was because this bottle of medicine was not enough to prove that he was the one who poisoned song Qingyan.
Zeng Yiming cried out loudly, ” Sir, although this thing was found in my secret room, it doesn’t mean that I poisoned song Qingyan. Besides, I have no enmity with song Qingyan, why would I poison her, my Lord?”
In fact, this was also what Chen yuanguan was puzzled about.
!!
Even if he wanted to frame the Lin medicine hall, he wouldn’t need to sacrifice Song Qingyan, right?
Who didn’t know that although song Qingyan was a woman from a brothel, she was on good terms with many people in the upper echelons because of her beauty and many talents?
Just as Chen yuanguan was feeling puzzled, Lin yuelan came out and said, ” grandfather Zeng, you know better than anyone else what medicine this is and why you feed it to song Qingyan.”
Zeng Yiming roared angrily, ” you demoness, don’t try to delude the public with your lies! You’re deluding the Lord! My Lord, Lin yuelan came back to seek revenge, so please don’t listen to his side of the story!”
Lin yuelan sneered, ” hehe, old master Zeng, I haven’t even said anything yet, but you’ve been calling me names. It’s clear to everyone who has ulterior motives!
Chen yuanguan could tell that there was something behind this medicine and immediately asked, ” what’s with this medicine? Lin yuelan, tell me!”
Lin yuelan’s clear voice resounded in the court. “my Lord, this medicine is not actually poison!”
Everyone was confused.
One moment she said it was poison, the next she said it wasn’t poison. Was this Lin yuelan really toying with them?
In the next moment, Lin yuelan gave them another shocking answer.
“This is a bottle of medicine to fake death!”
They didn’t hear it wrong, did they? there was a medicine that could fake death in this world?
Chen Yuanguan’s expression turned serious when he heard that. Yuwen Feiye’s brows twitched as if he was thinking of something, but it disappeared very quickly.
“This drug was banned by the Lin family twenty years ago. The Lin family was afraid that it would be used by someone to do bad things. Therefore, after making the last batch of the drug, they immediately burned the formula.
“20 years ago, the Lin family was framed and their ancestral home was ruined. The Zeng family’s power was growing day by day. They sent people to threaten the Lin family’s father and son to hand over the Lin family’s treasure and also sent people to secretly search for the Lin family’s treasure. This formula is one of them.”
Chen Yuanguan asked, ” since you said that this bottle is only supposed to fake death, how did it become poison? ”
Lin yuelan explained, ” this medicine has to be kept in a certain way. Otherwise, its medicinal properties will deteriorate. After the Zeng family had it, they didn’t take good care of it. It was how the medicine became a poison!”
Chen yuanguan immediately figured out something. He said, ” you’re saying that Zeng Yiming didn’t know that the drug had turned into poison, and gave it to song Qingyan so that she could pretend to die from the poison and use it as an opportunity to frame Lin’s medicine shop, right? ”
Lin yuelan nodded and said, ” my Lord is wise!”
“But I still have some questions.” Chen yuanguan said.
“Your Excellency, please speak!”
“Zeng Yiming set you up because you two have been enemies for a long time. He’s afraid that you’ll take revenge, so it’s understandable that he wants to strike first. However, ” Chen yuanguan was confused. “song Qingyan doesn’t seem to have any grudges against you or Lin’s medicine Hall. Why would she help Zeng Yiming set you up? ”
Lin yuelan didn’t seem to understand either, but she said hesitantly, ” to be honest, during the courtesan competition, miss song stood out. I admired miss song’s appearance and talent, so I planned to redeem miss song. However, at that time, miss song looked at the third Prince with affection and rejected me. This commoner then said to her, I intended to buy her as a gift to the third Prince, but she missed the opportunity.
“Your Excellency, perhaps I think that it was under such circumstances that lady song resented me, so she didn’t hesitate to collude with Zeng Yiming to secretly harm Lin’s medicine Hall!”
“Your Excellency, I can be a witness to this!” Liu Yichen suddenly stood up and said, ” I saw the hatred in song Qingyan’s eyes that day. So, I’m also wondering if she’s holding a grudge because of this.”
Slowly, things became clear.
Song Qingyan and Zeng Yiming had secretly colluded, and Zeng Yiming had thought that the medicine in his hand was fake death medicine, so he had given it to song Qingyan. Then, she had gone to the Lin medicine shop to get the medicine to repeat the scene from twenty years ago to achieve their purpose of framing the Lin medicine shop.
However, they didn’t expect that the medicine had turned into poison!
The truth of the case was finally revealed!
