Chapter 752 - The Problem in the Talisman Is Exposed! (1/2)

“Third Sister, get up first. Since it’s Miss Wang who did this, the Vice Minister’s Manor will definitely give us an explanation. It’s impossible for Miss Wang to get this kind of mixed poison, so Vice Minister Wang must also get involved in it!” Seeing Shao Caihuan kneel and beg the Nanny in charge to uphold justice, Shao Yanru immediately realized what Shao Caihuan was going to do. She hurried to help Shao Caihuan up and tried to appease her in a low voice.

She tried both coaxing and threatening and even suggested that Shao Caihuan should not get herself into trouble, because the poison was from the Xu State and ordinary people had no access to it.

Shao Wanru sneered in her heart and looked at her indifferently. Seeing the anxiety in Shao Yanru’s eyes, she thought in the past Shao Caihuan would definitely be threatened by Shao Yanru’s words and stay quiet, but Shao Yanru’s tricks didn’t work on Shao Caihuan, who almost went crazy at the moment.

With her mind occupied with hatred for Shao Yanru rather than the concern that she would get herself and Duke Xing’s Mansion into trouble, Shao Caihuan wished she could kill Shao Yanru now.

Shao Caihuan had clearly heard the words of the imperial physician just now. Learning that both her face and life had been ruined, she definitely would not let Shao Yanru off.

“Nanny, it’s this talisman. Someone must have poisoned it!” Shao Caihuan pushed Shao Yanru away, handed the talisman to the Nanny in charge and said.

Glancing at the talisman and at Shao Caihuan, who had lost her mind, Shao Wanru slowly lowered her head and let out a gasp.

Sure enough, Shao Caihuan knew that there was something wrong with the talisman, so she didn’t dare to wear it and thought that putting it under her pillow would do no harm to her.

However, she gave Shao Wanru an identical talisman and told Shao Wanru to wear it because it would bring her good luck.

The regular way to wear a talisman was to put it around the neck.

However, this talisman contained a severe poison that could take effect when it was within a certain range of someone, so although Shao Caihuan just put it under her pillow, it still did harm to her.

“This is it?” The Nanny in charge, who didn’t dare to take it directly, looked at it and asked.

“Yes, this is it. It must be the thing activating the incense. This is the only thing I got after entering the imperial palace, and plenty of people had access to it before it finally reached me!” Shao Caihuan said with hatred.

“Well, put it here. I will find out the truth!” The Nanny in charge said and pointed to a corner of the table as a hint for her to put it down. She did not dare to hold it for fear that she would be poisoned by accident. It was better to ask the Imperial Institute of Medicine to send someone to take it away. No one knew what other evil things the Xu State, an uncivilized country, got.

“Nanny, this must have something to do with my eldest sister!” After putting the talisman on the table, Shao Caihuan pointed at Shao Yanru and said with red eyes.

“Third Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? I know nothing about your talisman. How could you say it has something to do with me?” Shao Yanru said with her face turning pale from fear.

Shao Caihuan gritted her teeth and said, “Do you really know nothing about it? That day, when I asked the palace maid to get me talismans, you clearly heard it. Didn’t you happen to pass by and take a few glances at the palace maid?”

“I just took a few glances at her. There’s nothing weird about it. Third Sister, it’s unfair of you to say that. Can’t I take a few glances at a palace maid? Third Sister, we are both from Duke Xing’s Mansion, and the second and third branches of Duke Xing’s Mansion have always helped and cared for each other. Why… why do you have to push the blame to me now?”

Shao Yanru said tearfully with her eyes turning red, looked at Shao Caihuan sadly and said, “Third Sister, are you… are you trying to drag me into this?”

Hearing her questions and seeing Shao Caihuan’s ferocious face, everyone would think that Shao Yanru looked more convincing while Shao Caihuan had lost her mind and even tried to drag her sister into this.

The Nanny in charge frowned. She was displeased with Shao Caihuan’s claim based on no evidence that Shao Yanru, who had just taken a few glances at the palace maid, was the culprit. This reason made no sense and was ridiculous. She was wondering if the Third Miss Shao couldn’t bear this and went crazy!

The Nanny in charge didn’t want to get the First Miss Shao involved in this at all, because she had been told by a master to take care of her.

“Third Miss, is it strange to glance at a palace maid?” The Nanny in charge asked indifferently. If it weren’t for Shao Caihuan’s identity as the legitimate Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion, She would have left.

“It’s not strange to glance at a palace servant, but she also turned to this palace maid later to buy talismans!” Shao Caihuan, who seemed to be ready to pay any price, pointed at Shao Yanru and said loudly, “Why did she turn to the same palace maid? She must have done something to my talismans.”

“Third Miss Shao, since you could turn to the palace maid to buy talismans, why couldn’t the First Miss Shao do so?” the Nanny in charge asked in displeasure.
