Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 20

(T/N: Hi, Chiyo here. I uploaded this chapter before 28/Oct as I have to go to sleep early. I have my Chinese A level examination tomorrow morning. Ugh I hope all goes well. Anyway, leave a like if you enjoyed the chapter thanks.)

"You say that Mu Yunyao killed him, Mu Yunyao, do you have anything to say about that?" When he looked at Mu Yunyao, the Magistrate furrowed his eyebrows. Although he had already heard from the coroner, when he actually saw Mu Yunyao, she was much more thin and fragile than he had imagined. How could she kill someone?

Mu Yunyao’s face was completely pale, her voice also sounded very weak. "Sir, I did not kill anyone. My house had burned down, and thus my Mother and I moved into Grandma’s house. In the middle of the night, I woke up. I heard sounds coming from the main house and thought Grandma wanted to drink water. I went to check on her, but instead, I heard Zhang Caizhu and his butler arguing. They said something about killing someone and burying them in a flower garden. Then, they started to fight. At that time, I was so afraid that I accidentally pushed at the door. They discovered me and Zhang Caizhu rushed towards me and tried to kill me. The butler Dingshan tripped him and Grandma started shouting murder. I heard a sound coming from the door and rushed out. I don’t really remember anything after that, Auntie Yang said I had fainted. When I woke up, the officers were already here. "

"Based on what you said, you are only an eye-witness, but why did your Grandmother say that you are the murderer?"

Mu Yunyao quickly waved her hand, her soft lips were

Su Qing immediately went to hold her. "Sir, Yao Er would never kill anyone, she is very timid and very kind……"

"Silence! Li Shi, you identified Mu Yunyao as the murderer, do you have any evidence?"

"Evidence, evidence……I saw it, I saw it with my very own eyes, the wound on her arm, it wasn’t Zhang Caizhu who slashed her! She inflicted it on herself!" Li Shi did her utmost to show that she was not lying.

The Magistrate looked at the coroner, "Coroner, you said that you saw the wound yourself. How is it?"

"Replying to Sir, I did indeed take a look at the wound. Based on the direction and the depth of the wound, it was caused by someone attacking from behind, not by the girl herself. " The coroner presented the dagger to the Magistrate, "Sir, please take a look. This was found at the scene. "

The Magistrate took one look at the dagger and immediately frowned. "Li Shi, you say that Mu Yunyao made that wound herself. Did she use this dagger?"

"Yes, Sir, she indeed used that dagger. "

"Lies! This dagger is extremely sharp and is adorned with gold and jade, it is worth at least a hundred silvers! It is not something that a commoner can afford!"

Li Shi was dumbfounded, "This……I’m not sure……no……"

"Tell us the truth! Why were Zhang Yongan and Dingshan in your house? Why was one of them dead and the other injured?"

"I don’t know, I really don’t know," Li Shi did not know what to say, she was clearly telling the truth, but no one believed her.

"Sir, it was Su Qing who made me go there, I have evidence!" When he saw the situation was starting to turn on him, Zhang Yongan could take it no more.

"Present it!"

"Yes, yes Sir, I have the note that Su Qing left me. She wrote to tell me to meet her at Li Shi’s house. She wanted me to spend the night with her, I carried the note with me……I……" Zhang Yongan reached into his sleeves, but he could not find the note.

"Where is the note?"

"It……it’s gone, Mu Yunyao, it was definitely Mu Yunyao who secretly took it when I was unconscious!" Zhang Yongan glared at Mu Yunyao.

Mu Yunyao shook her head, completely at a loss. "No, I did not, I don’t know……" The note was indeed taken away by her, but it had long been burned to ashes.

"It was you, it was definitely you, who knew, such a young girl like you could have such a venomous heart!"

"Silence!" The Magistrate frowned. Not counting the dagger that made Zhang Yongan suspicious, there was no other evidence. This was quite a tough case. "Coroner, go and take a look at Dingshan’s corpse, see if he has any evidence. "

"Yes Sir. "

After a while, the coroner spoke, "Sir, Dingshan’s head has two injuries that may have been caused by a blunt weapon, but they are not fatal. It is the knife wound at his chest that took his life. The dagger had cut through his heart……wait, there is a note in his hand……"
