Chapter 865: Chapter 865 Swallowed Sleeping Pills

Li Zecheng had no idea what had happened to his cousin and was startled by her state.

So he knocked on the door and walked in to ask about her situation.

Xin Ni did nothing but cry and refused to speak. She couldn’t bring herself to say it.

"Enough with the crying! Tell me what’s wrong! Did someone bully you? Or did your sister-in-law do something to you? Say something so I can help you!" Xin Ni’s crying annoyed Li Zecheng.

Zhang Guifang just happened to get home and, seeing Xin Ni in such a pathetic state, felt very irritated. She told Li Zecheng about what had happened that evening.

Indeed, Li Zecheng became furious after hearing it.

Gone was his usual gentle demeanor toward Xin Ni, he pointed at her nose and began to scold, "Have you lost your mind? Don’t you know who An Hao is? You’re causing such a commotion, the chief of staff won’t let you off the hook!"

"That wasn’t causing a commotion. She was clearly trying to harm someone intentionally! What was she thinking, dragging An Hao and a young warrior into this? If Qin Jian found out, who knows how angry he would be?" Zhang Guifang took the opportunity to add, wanting to make sure Li Zecheng understood what kind of person his cousin was.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I really didn’t do it on purpose! I swear it wasn’t intentional!" At this point, Xin Ni had no choice but to deny everything.

Her cousin was easily fooled by sweet words, and she figured a little bit of acting pitiful would make this whole thing go away.

Li Zecheng said nothing more, but Zhang Guifang was not letting it go.

This was an excellent opportunity, and she had to strike while the iron was hot, to get Li Zecheng to drive his cousin away: "You’re still saying it wasn’t intentional! Xin Ni, just keep being obstinate!"

"Sister-in-law! I admit I was wrong! I’ll never gossip again, but I truly didn’t do it on purpose! You and the other two sisters-in-law already beat me up, isn’t your anger quenched yet?"

"Nonsense, who said we beat you up!" Zhang Guiying’s face darkened as she stared at Xin Ni.

"Shall I show my cousin the injuries on my body?" Xin Ni, crying, was about to undress!

"Have you no shame?" Zhang Guifang panicked and hurried to stop her, "Those injuries are in private areas, how could you be willing to show them to others?"

"You just said you didn’t hit me, so how do you know where my injuries are?" Xin Ni cornered Zhang Guifang, leaving her speechless.

Li Zecheng’s gaze suddenly turned towards Zhang Guifang, and he said angrily, "You even joined others in beating her? No matter what, she is still my cousin!"

Seeing that Li Zecheng was backing her up, Xin Ni sensed an opportunity. With gritted teeth and a stomp of her foot, she decided to go all out, rushing into the room, grabbing a box of pills from the drawer, and spilling a handful into her mouth.

"Cousin, sister-in-law! With such false accusations, I don’t want to live anymore! When I’m gone, remember to tell my family to collect my body!" After saying that, she threw the pill bottle onto the floor and lay on the bed to "wait for death."

Li Zecheng became panicked upon seeing this. He picked up the pill bottle and saw that the label said it was sleeping pills, scaring him out of his wits.

If something happened to his cousin in his home, he would have no way to explain it to his aunt!

"Xin Ni, spit it out, spit it out now!" He pulled Xin Ni up from the bed and began slapping her back, trying to make her vomit.

Xin Ni clenched her teeth and refused to spit it out!

Today’s battle was a do-or-die situation!

Either Zhang Guifang controlled her, or she controlled Zhang Guifang.

Otherwise, she would indeed have no way to stay in this family.
