Upon hearing the word "husband," Gu Beiyue knew that Qin Min was reminding him that Qin Jie was present, so he had to pay attention to how he addressed her.
"Madam, don't be anxious." He said mildly, "First, tell me what exactly happened."
Qin Min then told Gu Beiyue everything that had happened. Qin Jie's entire face was ruined. She didn't say a word and just curled up at the side, crying non-stop.
Since Gu Beiyue was here, she knew that she couldn't escape this calamity.
Gu Beiyue ignored Qin Jie. Seeing that the little thing was about to finish the cup of tea, he hurriedly stopped it.
Qin Min's analysis was right. For the little thing to be so greedy, the poison in this cup of tea was definitely not ordinary. Where was Qin Jie going to find such a rare poison?
Although he didn't say it out loud, he had the same bad premonition as Qin Min.
He carefully took the teacup. Seeing that there was still some tea at the bottom, he said, "Shaoyao, go get a good bottle."
"Okay!"
Shaoyao was overjoyed and soon found a clean little medicine bottle. Gu Beiyue carefully poured the medicine into the porcelain bottle, closed the cork, and casually put it in his sleeve without saying anything.
The little thing stood at the side, greedy, but it didn't dare to complain. If the young master wanted it, it wouldn't snatch it even if it was greedy!
After putting away the things, Gu Beiyue sat down and asked mildly, "Madam, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"
Before Qin Min could speak, Qin Jie suddenly looked up and said angrily, "What right do you have to say that I poisoned it? Which eye of yours saw me poison it? What right do you have to say that the tea was poisoned? You're slandering me! "
"That's true. Without sufficient evidence, we can't convince the Ji family. Husband, she's not only the daughter of the Qin family, but also the young mistress of the Ji family, "Qin Min said seriously.
These words were to remind Gu Beiyue that he could use this matter to pressure the Ji family. At the same time, it was to remind Qin Jie that if the Ji family knew about this matter, she would be finished.
A trace of fear flashed across Qin Jie's eyes, but she remained stubborn to the end. "I didn't poison it! Without evidence, I won't admit it even if I die! "
Qin Min said mockingly, "Qin Jie, if you didn't go down and just choked me to death, there wouldn't be so much trouble. Just you wait, I will definitely convince you! The mistress in Yunning City will personally appraise that cup of tea! "
"I didn't do it, so I'm not afraid!" Qin Jie answered without hesitation.
Both Qin Min and Gu Beiyue were stunned by his words. If they were only suspicious before, they were now very sure that the person who poisoned Qin Min back then was Qin Jie.
Qin Min stood up in shock. Qin Jie was dumbfounded when she saw Qin Min stand up.
"Qin Min, you …"
"No! Impossible! No! "
Qin Jie screamed and stepped back until she hit the wall. She was stunned and couldn't believe her eyes.
"You were the one who poisoned me!"
Qin Min was furious. She strode up to her and raised her hand to give her a tight slap. "As expected of my biological sister!"
"You … When did you …" Qin Jie was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
The reason why she was so confident and dared to poison Qin Min was because she had already tried it.
Many years ago, she bought this poison from a drug dealer at a sky-high price and started to poison Qin Min, crippling her legs.
Her father looked for all the elders in the medical school and even Dean Gu back then, but no one could save her. Her father also suspected that she was poisoned, but all the poison doctors were to no avail. All the poison doctors' diagnosis was the same: Qin Min wasn't poisoned.
Since then, Qin Min was diagnosed with a strange illness and her father gave up on her. She got everything that should have belonged to Qin Min. She thought that everything would go smoothly, but who knew that one day, Gu Beiyue would marry Qin Min.
She started to be afraid. She was afraid that after Qin Min married Gu Beiyue, she would meet Han Yunxi and be diagnosed with poison.
From the time Gu Beiyue sent people to ask for her hand in marriage to the time Qin Min married Gu Beiyue, she locked herself in her room every day. She didn't see anyone and didn't eat anything.
She was so scared that she couldn't even sleep. Later, she still trembled with fear when she recalled those days. She often thought that if that period of time had been any longer, she would have broken down.
She waited in fear until the end of the wedding. She waited until she saw the emperor and empress's carriage leave Medical City. She waited until Qin Min returned home the next day, still in a wheelchair.
She was overjoyed. She knew that Han Yunxi wouldn't be able to identify that Qin Min's legs were poisoned. When she bought that poison by chance, the person who bought it told her that this poison was very rare. If she didn't know the truth, she definitely wouldn't be able to identify it.
She found that after she survived this ordeal, her conscience was at ease.
But who knew that such a big change would happen to the Qin family? Qin Min had such good medical skills and was in the limelight as soon as she returned to Medical City.
On the night that Qin Min saved that old man, her husband, the eldest young master of the Ji family, Ji Yifeng, got drunk and refused to return home no matter how she persuaded him. He even grabbed her hair and told her that he regretted marrying her. He said that even if Qin Min's legs were crippled, he wouldn't mind. He said that she was the one who seduced him back then.
Perhaps, from that moment on, she went crazy?
When Ji Yifeng was drunk on the bed, she searched for the remaining poison like a madwoman. She only had one thought, and that was to kill Qin Min!
Qin Min's body was already poisoned. As long as she used up the remaining poison, Qin Min would definitely die when the toxicity reached a certain level.
"Qin Jie, do you really think that the empress didn't see the poison in my legs? Let me tell you, I stood up on the day of my wedding. The person who detoxified the poison was Her Majesty! "Qin Min said Coldly," Qin Jie, you disappoint me too much! "
Qin Jie was speechless and Qin Min didn't want to pursue the matter. She said to Gu Beiyue indifferently, "Husband, send the tea to Her Majesty. The daughter-in-law of the Ji family murdered the wife of an official of the imperial court. This is a serious crime! "
This was already a big deal in the Medical City.
If it escalated to murdering the wife of an official of the imperial court, when Her Majesty personally appeared, there would be no room for redemption.
Qin Jie then realized that not only would she have to pay the price for this matter, but the entire Ji family and even the Qin family would not be spared.
The first to be implicated would definitely be her husband, Ji Yifeng! That person whom she had loved deeply since she was young!
"No!"
She shouted, "Qin Min, I admit it! I admit it all! Qin Min, I beg you, don't implicate the Ji family in this matter! Don't! "
Qin Min really couldn't see through this younger sister of hers. Just now, she was willing to give up her husband, but now she wanted to bear all the blame and protect the Ji family?
Seeing that Qin Min didn't speak, Qin Jie became even more anxious. Her blood-stained face was already hideous, and with her tears blurred, it looked even more terrifying.
"Qin Min, on account of the fact that you wanted to marry him before, can you let the Ji family off?" Qin Jie cried.
When she said this, Qin Min subconsciously looked towards Gu Beiyue. At the same time, Gu Beiyue was also looking at her.
"Qin Min, you know best whether you liked him or not! Ji Yifeng is innocent! He just advanced to a godly doctor and will be the head of the household in a few years! You will ruin him! "
Qin Jie's face was covered in tears. She put down all her dignity and begged, "Qin Min, just take it that I'm begging you! He, he … Qin Min, he also likes you! He still likes you to this day! He … sob sob, he already regrets marrying me … "
Gu Beiyue and Qin Min were both very awkward. Qin Min wanted to say something but stopped. Gu Beiyue slowly turned his head and looked elsewhere.
Shaoyao was also stunned, but she quickly regained her senses and said angrily, "Second Miss, how can you slander Miss like this? This servant has served Miss for so many years. This servant can guarantee that Miss has only liked Young Master in her entire life! She will only like Young Master forever! "
Perhaps Qin Jie had really gone crazy and became stupid? She suddenly realized that Gu Beiyue, her husband, was also present. With her pleading, how could Gu Beiyue let Ji Yifeng off?
She looked at Qin Min and Gu Beiyue, speechless. All she could do was cry and hope that this was all a nightmare. When she woke up, she'd still be lying by Ji Yifeng's side as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that Young Master had turned his head away, Shaoyao became even more anxious. "Young Master, you must believe Miss! This servant has grown up with Miss since childhood. This servant knows everything about Miss! Miss only has you in her heart! She has never had anyone else! Don't be deceived! Young Master, Miss has … "
Qin Min's face … turned red!
She really wanted to interrupt Shaoyao, but Gu Beiyue turned around and looked at her. "I naturally understand Madam's intentions. This is after all a family matter of the Qin family. Madam can decide how to deal with it. I will wait for Madam outside. "
After he finished speaking, he left without consulting anyone.
Shaoyao wanted to chase after him, but Qin Min stopped her with a sharp look. Shaoyao resentfully retreated to the side. Little Thing, who was completely unaware of the situation, had already cleaned up its claws. It seemed to be in a good mood as it bounced out the door after the young master.
Qin Min looked at Qin Jie. She really didn't feel any hatred, nor did she feel the joy of revenge.
After a long time, she said indifferently, "Qin Jie, you should go back. Discuss this clearly with your husband. Either we hand this matter over to the authorities, or … let Ji Yifeng persuade his father to let him create less trouble during this period of time. "
Qin Min originally wanted to explain, but when she thought about it, even if Qin Jie didn't understand her warning, the elderly head of the Ji family would definitely understand.
Gu Beiyue had already spread the news that he would start the reform in a few days. The Ji family would also be a big obstacle!
"I'll give you three days to think clearly before you answer me."
Qin Min's expression was calm. She was about to leave when Qin Jie stopped her. "Qin Min, don't you hate me?"
Why?
Why couldn't she see any anger or hatred in Qin Min's eyes? Why could Qin Min be so calm?
"Hate?" Qin Min frowned and thought about it. She really couldn't hate her, even if this younger sister in front of her had done everything to ruin her life. She was just disappointed. She really didn't expect it to be Qin Jie. She had always suspected the second branch of the family.
Qin Min looked back and smiled faintly. "I don't hate you. If not for your actions, the one who married Ji Yifeng might really have been me. I wouldn't have been able to wait for … him! "
By 'him', she was naturally referring to Gu Beiyue.
Qin Min originally didn't feel any sense of revenge, but when she inadvertently said those words, she actually felt an indescribable sense of joy!
Yes, she had taken revenge! She was satisfied! She even felt a mysterious sense of happiness!
She opened the door and saw Gu Beiyue standing in the courtyard, looking up at the moon in the sky. His brows were tightly knitted, as if they would never disappear …
