Chapter 42: Testing for Poison

Yang Chuxia scrambled off Old Lady Hua and saw Yang Qingtong leading Land Officer Yang in by his hand.

She quickly thought on her feet, pinched her left and right arms hard, and immediately had tears streaming down her face. Then, she took several rapid steps towards Land Officer Yang and knelt down before him with a thunk.

She cried out loud, "Grandpa Land Officer, please save me! My grandmother told my aunt to poison me to death. She wants to poison me to death!"

Land Officer Yang looked around the Yang Family's courtyard and saw bruises on everyone's faces, Old Lady Hua's mouth corner broken, Ms. Liu being supported by her two daughters and gasping for breath, and Ms. Wang with disheveled hair, her eyes staring viciously at Ms. Liu.

A knot formed in Land Officer Yang's heart as he had never seen Ms. Wang like this before. He thought that she was always amiable, and it seemed that she must have been bullied quite severely this time.
