Chapter 3229 the poison was under Xi Hua

The old princess slammed the table. “This is outrageous! If that’s the case, why didn’t you say it out loud? Why did you stop us from drinking the soup in secret?”

Zheng Shi revealed a worried expression. “Mother, Little Jiu has just returned. I was afraid of scaring her. So I planned to capture Xi Hua in secret and interrogate her, so as to avoid alerting the snake and letting the mastermind get away scot-free.”

Yun chujiu revealed an incredulous expression. “Aunt, is what you said true? Is this bowl of soup really poisonous? Or was it used by Xi Hua?”

Zheng Shi nodded. “This is all aunt’s fault. Xi Hua was sent by Aunt to you. I didn’t expect that lowly servant to be so audacious as to poison you.”

Yun chujiu revealed an injured expression and kept shaking her head. “I don’t believe it! Xi Hua usually does her best for me. How could she poison me? Someone must have wronged her.”
