Chapter 466: Han Yunxi’s serious side (2/2)

Long Feiye appeared calm, but his fingers digging into the table had long betrayed his mood. This was the first time he’d felt uneasy beneath this woman’s gaze! Actually, he should be countering Gu Qi Sha’s words now, but he had nothing to offer. Gu Qi Sha was right—here was their irrefutable evidence. He could admit that he took away a full bottle of antidote, but how was he to explain why the bottle came back eight parts full? The woman in front of him now was no idiot. Moreover, now that Mu Linger had provoked her, she’d definitely think about Mute Granny too!

After all, the antidote was only used to treat Broomcorn Millet Poison!

As Long Feiye remained silent, Han Yunxi watched him quietly with a severe expression. A sense of tension began to rise between the pair.

“Your Highness Duke of Qin, you should say something, yah,” Gu Qi Sha had politely used the formal version of ‘you,’ seemingly polite while applying more pressure. “Your Highness Duke of Qin, you were always so anxious to get the antidote. Originally, you gave this excellency a one-year deadline, but then reduced it to six months. Perhaps you were in a rush to cure someone from Broomcorn Millet Poison? Don’t you come biting me again after saving your person. This excellency had to help you find the ingredients, then make the antidote for you. Even if I didn’t win my share of merits, I did do hard work, wouldn’t you say?”

Han Yunxi’s brows gradually furrowed at the words. Faced with her complicated expression, Long Feiye’s brows tightened as well. His face was nothing but cold and blank, but Heaven knows how many waves were surging in his heart!

“Aiya, Your Highness Duke of Qin, a single word will do! This excellency really did give you a full bottle, so hurry and say something lest esteemed wangfei misunderstands. I can’t afford the loss in that case!” Gu Qi Sha feigned tears as his taunting intensified.

Meanwhile, Long Feiye and Han Yunxi stared at each other in silence. Gu Qi Sha loved the current mood and broke into cold laughter. “You husband and wife pair should stop putting on plays in front of me. You two should know full well how much real antidote you have in your hands! In any case, this excellency only took away one portion for myself, so I can accept the ten times compensation! But I refuse to accept anything else!”

Unexpectedly, his words suddenly caused Han Yunxi’s brows to smooth out before she sent Long Feiye a crafty smile.

She remembered!

While staring at Long Feiye, she’d been trying to find a weak point in Gu Qi Sha’s solid-as-a-mountain evidence! She had never suspected Long Feiye at all, because why would he lie to her about something like this? She firmly believed that Gu Qi Sha had given him an eight parts full bottle, so she had persisted in looking for ways to counter the man. Any hole or crack in his argument would do the trick.

Now she finally thought of something!

“Gu Qi Sha, neither this wangfei nor His Highness have accepted your crappy claims as proof! What are you so impatient for?” Han Yunxi said coldly.

Long Feiye was caught off guard. What does she by that?

Gu Qi Sha sucked in a cold breath. Others won’t cry until they see their coffins, but this lass still doesn’t care even with the coffin right there! “If this isn’t proof, then what is it? Han Yunxi, even the most shameless types don’t act like you, right?” Gu Qi Sha’s voice took on a chilly tone.

“Heaven knows whether you gave His Highness a bottle with black insides to start? If you have the guts to cheat us, that makes you untrustworthy to start! What else couldn’t you do?” Han Yunxi countered as she arched a brow.

Long Feiye narrowly broke into soundless laughter at the words, while Gu Qi Sha narrowly spat out blood. “Han Yunxi, you!” he sputtered. “Youyouyou!”

“Me? What about me? How can you prove that the first bottle you used was white to begin with? That the black insides weren’t there from the start?” Han Yunxi pressed.

Gu Qi Sha was truly furious. This woman…just what is her brain made of? Why is she so smart? She can even think of a weak point like this?! He had considered all aspects of this problem but never thought of this point himself.

Why didn’t this stinkin’ girl take up a career as a plaintiff instead?!

But Gu Qi Sha quickly calmed down and said confidently, “Time! Han Yunxi, time can prove it all!”

“There’s a time process in the breakdown of the porcelain by the medicinal ingredients. If you don’t believe me, we can do another test with a bottle. There will definitely be differences in a bottle that started out black, versus a bottle that was blackened over time!” Gu Qi Sha explained meticulously.

But Han Yunxi simply laughed in disdain. “Gu Qi Sha, forget it! You’re the one providing all the bottles. Who knows whether you’ve tampered with them already?”

Gu Qi Sha really was going to spit up blood. I’ve been treated unjustly, ah!

Things have already gotten this far, so doesn’t Han Yunxi suspect Long Feiye at all? Does she insist on doubting me instead?

“Stinkin’ lass, this old fellow can’t say anything to those claims! But in any case, this old fellow refuses to recognize it! I just won’t!” Gu Qi Sha huffed.

“That’s not up to you to decide!” Han Yunxi grew more aggressive.
