But Elder Master Jin wouldn’t let him go, harshly scolding: "Scoundrel."
"Hey, the scoundrel is here," Xu Qiang imdiately stood up and responded.
The old master almost hit him on the head with his cane.
After Xu Qiang heard Xu Sisi explain the situation, he didn’t dare to continue pretending to be pitiful. Knowing that this matter could be big or small, he quickly sought to clear himself of suspicion.
"Grandpa, I swear it wasn’t who did this."
"If it wasn’t you, then who?" the old master asked, frantically winking at him.
Xu Qiang understood the old master’s hint, followed his gaze, and saw his two sisters-in-law’s grandmother.
At this mont, the old lady Gao Lihong was smiling kindly at him, her eyes wrinkled with a pile of smiles, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.
Although the smile was very kind and friendly, Xu Qiang forcefully read four words in her eyes—’How do you want to die!’
Xu Qiang shivered in fear: "It really wasn’t , you have to believe . Little sister-in-law’s cooking is so delicious, and I have no enmity with her, why would I do sothing so thankless?"
His expression was earnest and sincere.
Niannian and Jin Yu exchanged a glance, nodding slightly, indeed she had no conflicts with Xu Qiang.
"When Nanny Zhao asked you to watch the kitchen, did anyone else co into the kitchen?" Jin Yu asked.
Xu Qiang was still wondering who had done such a despicable thing and pinned it on him.
Hearing Jin Yu’s question, his mory suddenly flashed, he recalled sothing, and his eyes widened: "Ruibing, yes, yes, I rember now, it was definitely Jin Ruibing who tampered with it, only he ca into the kitchen while I was there."
The more Xu Qiang thought about it, the more plausible it seed. He and that kid Jin Ruibing hadn’t been on good terms recently, they couldn’t stand each other.
It was probably him, but his target definitely wasn’t the two sisters-in-law, but him.
Thinking of this, Xu Qiang wished he could tear Jin Ruibing to pieces, that rascal, made him tremble with fear.
When Xu Qiang accused Jin Ruibing, he just happened to co down the stairs, hearing footsteps, the whole family looked over in unison.
Jin Ruibing’s steps paused, why was everyone looking at him?
"Cousin Jin Yu, catch him, it’s him," Xu Qiang knelt on the ground gritting his teeth, wishing he could twist off Jin Ruibing’s head and bite it twice.
Jin Ruibing was baffled: "What’s going on?"
Xu Qiang saw him playing innocent, got agitated, stood up pointing at him: "Jin Ruibing, you little brat, hurry up and admit, did you put sothing in the chicken soup yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Ruibing initially thought Xu Qiang had gotten the short end, his mood suddenly lifted, with a smile he vehently denied: "No, why would I do such a thing, you’ve got it wrong."
Jin Yu imdiately caught sight of the smile in Jin Ruibing’s eyes.
He suddenly spoke: "Yesterday morning, Niannian and Sisi drank the chicken soup from the kitchen and got food poisoning, ended up in the hospital unable to attend the exam."
Before others could fully grasp what Jin Yu was saying, Jin Ruibing’s expression stiffened, incredulously said: "What, how did they drink it? I distinctly rember I only put laxative..."
"Ruibing, co down!"
Jin Ruiyang’s gentle voice interrupted him, warm and lodious.
Jin Ruibing suddenly felt he might’ve accidentally exposed himself, his legs gave out, almost rolling down the stairs.
Faced with the sinister smiles of his elder brother and cousin, Jin Ruibing suddenly felt despair, oh my, they might soon engrave ’aged 21’ on his tombstone.
"Hahaha, you little brat, let’s see how you talk your way out now, keep denying it, go on, deny it, pfft."
Having cleared his suspicion, Xu Qiang imdiately felt refreshed, stood confidently pointing at Jin Ruibing and cursed.
Knowing he was exposed, Jin Ruibing muttered for a lighter punishnt: "Big brother, cousin, I just wanted to give it to Xu Qiang, and I only added a laxative."
Jin Ruibing still felt guilty because he thought he had really prevented Xu Niannian and Xu Sisi from taking their exams, feeling disappointed like a wilting leaf.
The real culprit found, Elder Master Jin glanced at Gao Lihong and completely relaxed.
At this mont, he assud the posture of the patriarch, waving his hand, said to Jin Yu and Jin Ruiyang: "Beat him to death with sticks."
The whole family: "..."
The old master probably hadn’t woken up yet.
In the end, Jin Ruibing was carried to the yard by Jin Yu and Jin Ruiyang.
In less than a minute, wails and pleas for rcy of Jin Ruibing echoed from outside.
Those cries lasted for over ten minutes.
Xu Sisi and Xu Niannian listened with a bit of reluctance, but they both knew that Jin Yu and Jin Ruiyang would handle it well, and although they felt uneasy, they were also relieved, because that brat almost cost them their exams.
Xu Qiang listened with a twisted smile, you brat, can’t beat you to death, serves you right for ssing with .
Jin Nanxi ran out with a cara, Ye Qin groaned as she rubbed her forehead, this brat deserved a beating.
Only the elder lady Gao Lihong maintained her kindly smile, and Xu Wentian also wore a discontented expression.
Before long, Jin Yu and Jin Ruiyang returned, impeccably dressed, one coldly imposing, the other warmly elegant, both with outstanding features and expressions of a job well done.
At this ti, the old lady with a benevolent smile walked to the Jin family’s ancestral hall, leaving the whole Jin family bewildered, what was the old lady up to?
In no ti, the old lady erged carrying an incense burner, it was filled with lit incense, her smile kindly to the point of eerie.
