Chapter 194 What’s the purpose?
"Liu Yiyi, I want to ask you, during this period of time, were you the one who ordered the kitchen staff to continue to deliver greasy and meaty food to Changshou Hall?"
When Liu Yiyi heard Xue Wanxian mention this, she paused while preparing to get up.
She looked at Xue Wanxian in a panic, then quickly calmed down and got up from the ground.
So, Xue Wanxian hit me because of this incident?
"My lord, I can explain this matter." Liu Yiyi opened her mouth.
Xue Wanxian spoke with a very certain tone, which showed that he had already investigated the matter.
What Liu Yiyi should do now is not to deny it, but to explain it carefully. However, before she could explain, Xue Wanxian interrupted her directly.
"Is it or isn't it?" Liu Yiyi did not deny it, which made the last bit of hope in Xue Wanxian's heart disappear without a trace.
"Yes." Liu Yiyi looked at Xue Wanxian innocently, "But I can explain it."
"Hmph, fine. Go and explain. I want to see how you are going to explain it." After being extremely angry, Xue Wanxian found that he had actually calmed down.
"My Lord, when we just came back from the border, An Qingqian treated the old lady harshly and did not allow her to eat meat. However, people's diets are diverse, and the old lady is not from an ordinary family. Naturally, the food in the Marquis's Mansion is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Therefore, if you eat it occasionally, there will be no impact at all. You can ask your doctor about this.
Besides, the old lady likes to eat these things. She has complained to me many times, asking why those things should be removed. My Lord, how can I disobey the old lady's order? "
Liu Yiyi looked at Xue Wanxian with a painful expression on her face, trying her best to put all the blame on Zhang.
"My Lord, you don't believe me."
"Really? Then according to what you said, you asked the kitchen to send those things over for your mother's own good, right?" Xue Wanxian was so angry that he laughed at Liu Yiyi's explanation.
"You knew she couldn't eat it and her life would be in danger if she ate it, but you still asked someone to deliver it to her. You are basically murdering her!
What do you mean by occasionally sending it? You clearly ask people to send it every day. Liu Yiyi, I never thought that you are such a vicious person. I really misjudged you. "
Xue Wanxian stared at Liu Yiyi with extreme disappointment in his eyes.
"My Lord, what do you mean by delivering it every day? What are you talking about?" After hearing Xue Wanxian's words, Liu Yiyi suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"What? You don't understand? You did it yourself and you still want to cheat?" Xue Wanxian sneered. He was increasingly confused as to why he fell in love with such a woman in the first place.
"My Lord, no, I did ask the kitchen staff to deliver those things to Changshou Hall, but it was definitely only delivered once in a while, not every day. This is a misunderstanding. I know that the old lady can't eat well every day, so I asked people to deliver it every few days."
Liu Yiyi explained in a panic that she didn't like Zhang and wanted her dead, but she definitely didn't want to get rid of Zhang so quickly.
During this period, she was busy with the affairs of Manager Chen and the accounts. As for Zhang, she only ordered her to send those greasy and fishy things.
She knew that according to Zhang's physical condition, she could not eat these things at all. The more she ate, the faster she would die.
In order to avoid the matter being discovered and blamed on her, she did not ask anyone to deliver it every day, so as not to give anyone a handle on it.
"Humph, Liu Yiyi, you are still trying to make excuses even now. The kitchen manager and Nanny Wang have already told me everything."
Xue Wanxian didn't want to listen to Liu Yiyi's explanation anymore. He looked at Liu Yiyi coldly.
"I'm going to ask you again, did you ask your maid to change the incense in Changshou Hall this morning?"
Doctor Yang said that if it weren’t for this incense, the old lady would not have become like this so quickly.
If the greasy and meaty foods are chronic effects, then this incense is the most direct culprit that harms the old lady.
Seeing that Xue Wanxian had even found out about this matter, Liu Yiyi was shocked and felt very panicked.
She suddenly realized that she had underestimated the people here. She had been very careful and her plan was almost perfect. She had clearly dealt with the little maid, so why did Xue Wanxian know about it?
When she was at the border before, no one would ever find out what she did. Those who were harmed by her had no idea who the real murderer was.
But why is everything different here?
I did something great, but I was caught.
She didn't know that she was asking someone to deal with the maid, but the person who was monitoring the place noticed it and reported it to Boyun. Boyun followed An Qingqian's order and rescued the maid quietly.
Xue Wanxian didn't even need Liu Yiyi's affirmative answer. When he saw her panicked reaction, he knew that she must have done it.
"Liu Yiyi, I, Xue Wanxian, have treated you well. Why do you want to deliberately hurt my family?"
Xue Wanxian's eyes were red and bloodshot, looking extremely scary.
"What on earth did my mother do to offend you that you would harm her like this?! She has now suffered a stroke and is now paralyzed on one side. Are you satisfied? Huh?"
Xue Wanxian looked at the person in front of him, and he really wanted to kill him with a sword at this moment.
Apart from the status, he gave her almost everything, why was she still not satisfied?
"What do you mean by stroke and hemiplegia? That's impossible. I just asked the maid to change the soothing incense. How can ordinary soothing incense cause a stroke? It's impossible."
Liu Yiyi looked at Xue Wanxian in surprise. She just didn't want Zhang to attend today's banquet.
Last time, Xue Wanxian said he wanted to take back her power as housekeeper, and she signed a military order that as long as Zhang Qingsha's coming-of-age banquet was held successfully, then her power as housekeeper would not be taken back.
She knew that Zhang had always wanted the power of housekeeper, so she would never let go of the opportunity to embarrass her easily.
In order to avoid Zhang and Nanny Chen causing trouble for her at the banquet, she specifically asked the maid to replace the incense from Changshou Hall with her own special and powerful calming incense.
This kind of calming incense can make anyone who smells it fall into a deep sleep for five hours.
After five hours, the banquet was over. No matter what Zhang wanted to do, it was too late.
Moreover, the maid who changed the perfume had been dealt with by her after she came back to report.
There were no clues or evidence pointing to her, but now that Xue Wanxian spoke so righteously, she had no choice but to admit it.
But she absolutely could not admit that there was anything wrong with the calming incense. As long as she insisted that it was just an ordinary calming incense, they would have no way to deal with it.
