Chapter 769 Last Night Was Just a Feint to the East and an Attack to the West
"Yixue!" Zhong Xingyun almost shouted.
All kinds of warning words came to his throat, but because of Emperor Xiao and the others present, he couldn't speak for a moment and could only glare at Zhong Yixiu.
Shen Yanxi looked at Zhong Xingyun's expression and reminded him.
"Minister Zhong, this is the Golden Palace, not your Zhong family's residence. You are not allowed to shout and yell in front of the emperor. What's more, Miss Zhong is now a witness to her true identity. Even if you are her father, you must always be tactful when dealing with the case." Shen Yanxi reminded him.
Hearing these words full of warning, Zhong Xingyun couldn't help but look up at Emperor Xiao.
Meeting Emperor Xiao's unhappy gaze, he quickly apologized.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just didn't expect the situation to turn out like this. My emotions got out of control for a while, so my words were a little intense just now. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"
As he spoke, Zhong Xingyun frowned at Zhong Yixiu again.
"Yixue, I'm very happy that you woke up safely, but how did you become Prime Minister Shen's witness? Is there any hidden story behind this? Don't be confused. If someone is threatening you, you can tell them. I will definitely ask the emperor to make the decision for you. No matter what, we are a family."
Zhong Xingyun emphasized the word "family" separately, and with his warning look, he was clearly telling Zhong Yixiu that they were a family, and they would prosper together and suffer together.
If anything happened to her, Zhong Yixiu would definitely be implicated.
Zhong Yixiu met her father's gaze calmly, with an indescribable complex expression in her eyes.
She had long been sad and disappointed with her father and no longer had any expectations of him.
But no matter whether her father wanted her to marry into the Mingchang Marquis' Mansion or blamed her for Yi Yu's death, no matter how disappointed she was, she never thought that her father would go to such a length.
Drug her, make her go crazy in public, and then use this incident to target the women's college...
Zhong Yixue smiled bitterly, "Father, the family you mentioned means that everyone must dedicate themselves to you and work for you. As for my marriage, future, reputation, and even my life as a daughter, they are all worthless in front of your interests and goals, right?"
"Of course not, why would you think so!"
Zhong Xingyun retorted quickly, but for a moment, he was so guilty that he didn't dare to look Zhong Yixiu in the eye.
He had consulted the doctor carefully before taking the action. The dosage of the medicine was well controlled, and as long as it was adjusted slowly in the future, nothing serious would happen.
As for reputation, after the incident at the Marquis Mingchang's Mansion, there was no hope for her to marry into a wealthy family, so even if she was branded as possessed, it was nothing.
And as long as this matter goes smoothly, and she is detoxified afterwards, Yixue will be able to recover soon. At worst, I can make up for her more at that time.
But he never expected that Yi Xue would wake up now.
wrong!
Logically speaking, he should still be in a coma...
Suddenly, Zhong Xingyun's heart tightened, and he immediately turned to look at Shen Yanxi and understood.
"Yes……"
The words came to his lips, but Zhong Xingyun quickly swallowed them.
Shen Yanxi!
It must be Shen Yanxi and the others’ doing!
Unlike Zhong Xingyun's concealment, Shen Yanxi spoke directly.
"It seems that Lord Zhong has thought it through. He sent the two of them last night to lure the tiger away from the mountain. When Minister Zhong thought he had caught the tortoise, someone else quietly broke into Miss Zhong's room and found out what drug she had been given. And after you left home today, someone sent the antidote."
Ningning didn't believe Zhong Yixiu's mother.
Although she did love her daughter, Ning Ning could see the nervousness and fear in her heart, and guessed that she would not dare to really go against Zhong Xingyun. Even if she came to her for help, it was just a desperate attempt. If she really wanted to do something, she would not have the courage.
However, Zhong Yixue's situation is unclear, and the Zhong family is the Shangshu Mansion after all. It is not easy to visit her openly or send someone to investigate privately.
That's why Ningning came up with this idea.
The color drained from Zhong Xingyun's face, and he felt angry and panicked in his heart.
He tried his best to suppress his expression, not wanting to reveal the slightest flaw, and then turned his head to look at Zhong Yixiu again.
Now, he could only pray that Zhong Yixiu would not say anything.
However, Zhong Yixiu naturally did not do as he wished. After kowtowing to Emperor Xiao, she told him the whole story in detail.
When the court officials heard that Zhong Yixiu was poisoned because Zhong Xingyun drugged his own daughter, they were all surprised.
Even Emperor Xiao was extremely surprised.
"Zhong Xingyun, is what your daughter said true?"
"Your Majesty, that's not the case!" Zhong Xingyun immediately denied, "Everything Yixue said just now is not true. I don't know what's wrong with her. She would make up such nonsense."
Zhong Xingyun frowned and looked at Zhong Yixue, "Yixue, I'm really happy that you can wake up, but you can't say such nonsense. Did Prime Minister Shen force you to say this?"
"Father, why do you have to continue acting now? If it weren't for Prime Minister Shen and Lady Jiang, I'm afraid I would still be lying in a coma at home due to poisoning."
Zhong Yixiu paused for a moment and continued.
"I really want to ask, father, do you feel any pain or guilt towards your daughter?"
A faint sour feeling surged in her heart. Zhong Yixiu took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in her heart, and stared at Zhong Xingyun intently, waiting for his answer.
"Yixue, what nonsense are you talking about? If you are not being instructed by someone, then you are possessed by evil spirits and have made up such absurd things in your mind. You are my daughter, how could I do anything to you? You better wake up and stop accusing your father. If anything happens to your father, what will happen to you and your mother, especially your mother, in the future..."
"Don't threaten me with my mother anymore!" Zhong Yixue interrupted Zhong Xingyun loudly, pouring out her uncontrollable anger, "If you really cared about us mother and daughter, how could you do such a thing!"
After taking a deep breath, Zhong Yixiu turned to Emperor Xiao in complete disappointment.
"Your Majesty, everything I said just now is true. The so-called possession of me was all planned by my father from beginning to end. The rumors in the girls' academy were deliberately thrown dirty water by my father. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate. No matter whether it is the drug that caused the possession or the servants in the mansion who know the inside story, as long as we investigate carefully, everything will be revealed."
Zhong Xingyun didn't expect Zhong Yixiu to be so resolute. In anger and humiliation, he rushed forward and slapped Zhong Yixiu in the face.
"You bastard!"
This is a determination to kill myself!
