Chapter 741: Concrete Evidence?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“You’re a maid. Isn’t it normal for him to compliment you if you did well in your job?” Fang Xinxin looked at her as though she had gone insane. “I’ve been engaged to Bai Qinghao since we were children. It’s only normal that we got married. I think you must have gone delusional from dreaming about being a third party!”
“I will only have the opportunity to be with Young Master if I eliminate you.” Ji Qing glared at her hatefully. “You are the one obstructing my happiness. It’s you!”
“It seems like there’s no point in reasoning with you.” Fang Xinxin spoke indifferently. “Search her body and see if there are any potential items she was planning to use to harm me. Treat her exactly how she planned to treat me.”
“Yes, Madam.” Liu Li immediately searched Ji Qing’s clothes and discovered a packet of powder. “I’m not sure how this is meant to be used?”
“Feed it to me.” Ji Qing said, “I was planning to feed it to you forcefully.” She knew she could not escape punishment and decided to choose the less painful route. Although the drug contained poison, consuming it would cause less harm.
“Pour it on her eyes.” Fang Xinxin instructed coldly.
When Ji Qing heard this, she was immediately frightened into begging for forgiveness. “Madam, please forgive me!”
“This powder won’t take your life. You planned on rubbing it against my eyes, but it’s unfortunate that I don’t have the ability to receive your kind intentions. Why don’t you try it yourself?” Fang Xinxin waved her hand expressionlessly.
Liu Li immediately held Ji Qing down and poured the powder against her eyes. She immediately began shrieking miserably. “Elder, please save me! Elder! Fang Xinxin, this evil woman, she is trying to murder me…”
“Write out a contract declaring that she is suffering the consequences of her own actions and make her sign it. Lock her up first and interrogate her to find out the person behind her.” Fang Xinxin instructed him.
Liu Li immediately began carrying out her orders.
Fang Xinxin headed down the stairs from the third floor.
Bai Jingrou was standing by the staircase on the first floor glancing upwards. When she saw that Fang Xinxin was unharmed, a hint of disappointment flashed past her refined expression.
“Are you checking to see if I’ve gone blind?” Fang Xinxin spoke coldly.
“I don’t understand what Cousin-in-law is saying.” Bai Jingrou further clarified. “Earlier, I was taking a stroll nearby when I heard a commotion. I came to take a look because I was curious.”
Fang Xinxin took in Bai Jingrou’s beautiful, innocent expression.
This woman could seamlessly hypnotise others and was very good at taking advantage of other people’s greed and unkind thoughts.
Ji Qing had likely been controlled by Bai Jingrou in this matter.
However, there wasn’t any concrete evidence that she could use. Perhaps, even Ji Qing herself was unaware that she had been hypnotised. Although she had the video of Bai Jingrou hypnotising Butler Bai Mingde, it did not indicate that she was involved in this matter.
“Earlier, it seems like the Elder’s personal maid offended you?” Bai Jingrou asked softly. “You handled the Elder’s people without asking for his opinion first. Aren’t you being too disrespectful to him?”
“I’m the Bai family’s lady. I have the right to manage the staff here.” Fang Xinxin did not pay her any attention. She sat down on the sofa and turned on the television.
A moment later, the Elder returned from his stroll outside. Bai Jingrou immediately complained to him. “Grandfather, Cousin-in-law instructed someone to make Ji Qing, your maid, blind! I told her that Ji Qing is your personal maid and that she ought to give you some face, but Cousin-in-law refused!”
“Oh?” Elder Bai Chongshan lifted his face. His wrinkled features appeared slightly stern.
“Grandfather, though Ji Qing is only a maid, she served you personally for many years. Normally, she is also rather intelligent and capable.” Bai Jingrou put on a compassionate act.. “Even if she made Cousin-in-law upset, it’s still a little too much to blind her.”
