C176 (1/2)

However, after a short while, the clamoring outside died down.

Curious, Jin Xiaotao ordered the servant to lie down on the windowsill and open a small crack, as she peeked outside.

”Shopkeeper, it's weird, the Boss Jin from Liuli Workshop is saving people outside!” The doorman turned and shouted at Jin Xiaotao.

”What?!” Jin Xiaotao immediately jumped up and hurried over. Through the crack in the window, she saw Jin Xiaolou bringing the girls from the shop a large wooden bucket each, and another person holding a pile of bowls, one by one, to scoop black soup for them.

It was obvious that he had come prepared.

After another three hours and a half, seeing that the originally painful people had started to turn better, all of them knelt down at Jin Xiaolou's feet, calling her a living Bodhisattva.

Jin Xiaotao was so angry that her veins were popping out, and she grabbed the assistant beside him: ”Quick! ”Go and invite the lord of the government!”

”What a Jin Xiaolou, you dare to play tricks in front of me!”

Jin Xiaotao immediately reprimanded, opening the shop door, standing out, she pointed at Jin Xiaolou and cursed: ”In order to steal business, the Liuli Workshop Boss Jin, in order to do so, actually used such a despicable method, and poisoned my De's Shop's jelly! How shameless! ”

Saying that, he looked around at the people who were thanking Jin Xiaolou, and then said: ”She was the one who poisoned you, and you guys are still thanking her? This is so stupid! ”

”Think about it, if it wasn't for her poison, how could she have arrived in time to save you with the soup and medicine?”

These people did not believe him, but once they heard Jin Xiaotao's words, most likely they started to doubt him.

Seeing that everyone had raised their heads to look at Jin Xiaolou in doubt, Yi Xiao whispered into Jin Xiaolou's ears: ”Innkeeper, do you want to look for the officials?”

Jin Xiaolou said: ”No need, Jin Xiaotao will arrange a good job for us.”

As expected, not long after, they saw the Supreme Court's Young Official Bai Ruyi bringing a few people towards the De's Shop.

Jin Xiaotao's face did not look good, she asked the servant: ”Why are the people from the justice courts here?”

The assistant scratched his head, ”This Sir Bai just happens to be in the yamen, and when I heard that it was related to Liuli Workshop and Boss Jin s, I immediately said that I would personally make a trip.”

Without waiting for Jin Xiaotao to speak, Bai Ruyi had already walked up to him, paid her respects to Jin Xiaolou who was in the middle, and then asked Jin Xiaotao: ”What happened?”

Jin Xiaotao secretly cursed in her heart. A dignified junior official of the Supreme Court, she actually bowed to a girl the moment she came here. She really went up to flatter the Seventh Prince!

”Jin Xiaolou tried to poison us, Master, in front of everyone, you have to enforce the law impartially, don't practice favoritism!”

Jin Xiaotao smiled, she did not believe that this young noble from the Supreme Court would dare to protect a suspect in public.

But just the word 'private' caused Bai Ruyi's face to turn completely red, completely losing the serious and solemn look he used to have.

Bai Ruyi took a deep breath, and fiercely pinched the tender flesh in his palm. He forcefully suppressed his beating heart, and told himself not to think too much, or think too much.

Raising her head, she heard Jin Xiaotao admonishing him: ”Boss Jin was just jealous that my clan's De's Shop's Jelly was better than hers, so she used a sinister method to secretly poison my family's Jelly. Master, look at these people. After eating this Poisonous Fruit Jelly, they would be dizzy and in pain.

Bai Ruyi looked at the people around him. Most of them were much better after taking Jin Xiaolou's medicine, but there were still some that were serious, and with the red swelling on their throats, it was obvious.

”You said that Jin Xiaolou administered the poison, is there any evidence?” Bai Ruyi asked Jin Xiaotao.

”Of course!” Jin Xiaotao pointed, ”The medicine in Jin Xiaolou's hand is the evidence! If she hadn't poisoned him, how would she know how to cure him? And they came so fast. It was obvious that they had been waiting for the right moment to make their move! ”

With that, Jin Xiaotao immediately said: ”Master, this kind of evil woman, in order to earn money, would not hesitate to kill, even if I were to just kill her, it would not be excessive!”

The last sentence was said coldly, causing the hairs on Jin Xiaolou's arm to stand up, and her entire body to tremble uncontrollably.

The two of them were blood-related sisters, yet they grew up together. What kind of deep hatred could there be between them?

Even if she was unhappy at home in the past, Jin Xiaotao and Jin Xiaolou were still oppressed together. Jin Xiaolou asked herself, in her memories, it had always been Jin Xiaotao secretly bullying her, she had never done anything to hurt Jin Xiaotao.

Furthermore, because Jin Xiaolou was a fool in the past, he thought that she was treating him sincerely. She was only interested in him, no matter what kind of hard work she had to do, she would finish it quickly without waiting for him to speak.

Jin Xiaolou sighed, she had originally thought that Jin Xiaotao was just vanity and selfishness, wanting to drive him back home.

Unexpectedly, the other party had wanted his life so badly.

”Lady Xiaolou, what do you have to say?” Bai Ruyi pulled herself together and turned to ask Jin Xiaolou.

Jin Xiaolou said indifferently, ”I did indeed come prepared.”

Bai Ruyi frowned, he wanted to open his mouth and remind Jin Xiaolou, to make her speak cautiously.

There were some words that couldn't be taken back once they left her mouth. Even if she wanted to help her, it was inevitable that she would be left behind.
