Chapter 438: Chapter 436: Third Sister-in-law Ruanruan 12_1

Mrs. Ruan said if she had to report the case, then she would.

Ruan Ruanruan, who had just returned home unexpectedly to fetch a manuscript, happened to hear this news. A sense of dread immediately filled her, and she hurriedly called Xia Ningxing and her eldest brother.

Upon hearing this, the siblings rushed to the Ruan Family home.

Quite coincidentally, they arrived almost at the same time as the officials.

"Xiaxia! Changsan!" Seeing them, Ruan Ruanruan hurried to their side.

Mrs. Ruan, on the other hand, completely ignored Xia Ningxing and her brother, and instead, with her eyes swollen from crying, threw herself towards the officials, wailing and lamenting her grievances, "Officers, you finally came!"

"I heard your daughter has been poisoned. Do you suspect someone intentionally did it?" one official asked while taking out pen and paper to start recording.

"Yes!" Mrs. Ruan, who was crying a storm, eagerly nodded her head.

The official then asked, "Do you have a suspect in mind?"

"I do!" Mrs. Ruan answered with clenched teeth, her finger fiercely pointing at Ruan Ruanruan, her eyes bloodshot and fearsome, "She’s the one who poisoned my eldest daughter!"

Her tone seemed completely certain.

"What is her relationship to you?" the official continued to inquire.

Mrs. Ruan’s eyes remained bloodshot, "The second daughter who has come to collect her debt!"

Upon hearing this, the official was taken aback, clearly not expecting her to accuse her own daughter, but since anything could happen in this world, they quickly regained their composure and asked again, "You keep saying it’s your second daughter who poisoned her, so what was her motive?"

Mrs. Ruan replied with bloodshot eyes, "The motive is that she’s afraid her sister would steal her man. Officers, I’m telling you, my eldest daughter was really beautiful before she was poisoned, which is exactly why she would go so far as to do such a terrible thing!"

What a blatant distortion of truth!

This mouth could spin black into white.

Ruan Ruanruan was so angry that her whole body trembled.

It was clearly they who wanted to scheme for marriage and take a life, and now they were turning the tables!

Then she heard Mrs. Ruan assertively suggest, "If you don’t believe me, then have the officers search Ruan Ruanruan’s room and see if you can find any poison!"

"Then let’s search!"

The officials nodded and began their search.

However, they didn’t only search Ruan Ruanruan’s room; they investigated the other places as well.

After all, Mrs. Ruan’s words couldn’t be entirely trusted.

Watching the officials enter Ruan Ruanruan’s room, Mrs. Ruan’s fiendish expression slightly eased, her heart burning like fire finally felt some relief.

Ha!

If she couldn’t make Ruan Ruanruan, the debt-collecting thing, go to jail, then she wasn’t Qian Aihua!

Ruan Ruanruan’s room was turned upside down.

She couldn’t help but purse her lips.

Xia Ningxing stepped forward and patted her hand, "Be at ease."

Her eldest brother held her other hand, "I am here for you."

Their words instantly calmed Ruan Ruanruan down, and she nodded to them both.

Before long, the officials came out of Ruan Ruanruan’s room.

"How did it go?" Mrs. Ruan immediately asked, her voice laced with anticipation.

The official shook his head, "We didn’t find anything."

"How is this possible!" Mrs. Ruan’s eyes instantly widened, her pupils expanding in disbelief.

She had personally planted the remaining medicine in that wretched girl Ruan Ruanruan’s room. How could it not be found?

"Mrs. Ruan, what do you mean by this?" Xia Ningxing, with her arms crossed, asked with a smirk that was not quite a smile, "Why do I get the feeling you are quite certain that there must be poison hidden in Ruanruan’s room?"

Indeed.

How could she be so sure?

It’s as if she had planned it herself!

Xia Ningxing’s words immediately reminded everyone.

A trace of suspicion crossed the minds of the officials, and they began to scrutinize Mrs. Ruan with a doubtful gaze.

"I..." Under so many watchful eyes, a guilty Mrs. Ruan, who was already feeling like a thief, was about to say something in her defense when she heard another official’s voice—

"Boss, found it!"

Mrs. Ruan’s heart leapt with joy, and she quickly turned and said, "This was found in Ruan Ruanruan’s room, right? Look, I told you it must have been that beast Ruanruan who poisoned her sister..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted:

"This was found in your room!"

"What!?" Mrs. Ruan almost fainted on the spot.

She had clearly placed everything in Ruan Ruanruan’s room; she hadn’t kept a thing, how could this be possible?

Framing!

"This must be a frame-up!" Mrs. Ruan screamed, her voice nearly tearing through the roof.

"Officials, this must have been done by my shameless daughter to frame me! Bailian is my own flesh and blood; how could I possibly poison her!"

"Moreover, I distinctly remember placing the poison in her room. How did you find it in my room..."

As she spoke, Mrs. Ruan realized something was amiss and clapped her hand over her mouth in shock.

Her body shook like a sieve, almost collapsing.

How could she have blurted out the truth!

Mrs. Ruan didn’t understand what was happening to her; it was as if her mind and mouth were suddenly out of her control! She had spoken involuntarily!

Hearing this, the officials had no more doubts. One of them immediately put on a stern face and handcuffed her: "So the poison was indeed yours, and you were planning to plant it in your second daughter’s room to frame her. What a case of a thief crying ’stop thief’!"

"How can there be a mother like you in this world, not only poisoning your own child but also framing another! Are they really both your own children?"

They rebuked her, both shocked and angry.

Even tigers do not devour their cubs, but some people actually seek to harm their own children!

"I didn’t! I didn’t! I really didn’t!" Mrs. Ruan began to cry out and struggle desperately.

The officials held her down: "What didn’t you do? You just admitted it yourself; what else is there to say now?"

"I didn’t poison Bailian, why wouldn’t I say it? I clearly meant to poison that wretch Ruanruan, but why did Bailian end up getting poisoned!" By this point, Mrs. Ruan had thrown all caution to the wind, crying incessantly.

"Officials, there must be a plot, it must be that Ruanruan realized what was happening and turned it back on my daughter." Mrs. Ruan was ready to drag Ruanruan down with her, even at death’s door.

"Enough!"

At this time, Mr. Ruan, who had returned upon hearing the news, saw the scene and his face quickly darkened.

This foolish woman!

To have actually called the officials over such a trifle!

Wasn’t this plainly asking for outsiders to laugh at them!

Mr. Ruan was nearly apoplectic with anger.

Seeing his return, Mrs. Ruan cried even harder, and started to complain: "Ruan, it was that wretch Ruanruan who killed her sister, you can’t protect her!"

But Mr. Ruan only gave her a cold glance.
