Chapter 28: The Case is Cracked, My Reputation is Restored

  Just as everyone's exclamation, the golden light that shot to the door of Xiao Feng's house suddenly stopped and flew quickly to one side, falling into someone's hands in an instant!

  Everyone let out a sigh of relief at the same time, turned their heads to look at the newcomer, and immediately changed color, kneeling down in unison: "See the Nineteenth Imperial Uncle!"

  Khalan's power had reached a level where he could release and retract it at will, making him unfathomably deep.

  He Lian Cangning slowly walked closer, her exquisite face like jade flashing with cold light, unsmiling yet majestic. She stared straight at the only person standing in the arena and spoke in a cold voice: "Yun Mo Ran, for killing someone on the street, what crime should you be guilty of?"

  "Ink Stain knows his crime!" Yun Mo Dye, clenching his teeth in pain, knelt down and softly defended himself, "Ink Stain didn't want it to be this way either, but what can he do when circumstances forced him..."

  He Lian Cangning swept a glance at the injured guards on the ground, her voice even colder: "Xiao Fengliu, what do you have to say for yourself?"

  "Wind Ruo deserves to die ten thousand times!" Xiang Wind Ruo had already released Yu Han Yu, his voice sorrowful and mournful. "Wind Ruo knows he shouldn't have caused a scene in the street, but...but Big Brother's life is hanging by a thread, Wind Ruo just wanted to find Miss Yun Qi to ask for an explanation..."

  "This matter, I've also heard of it." He Lian Cangning turned his head to look at Yun Mo Ran, "Yun Mo Ran, your trephining technique..."

  "There's absolutely no problem!" Yun Mo said with a resounding voice, without any hesitation, "It must be that someone has secretly manipulated things..."

  "What's going on here? Several imperial physicians have examined him in detail and all say that the trephining surgery was problematic!" Xiao Feng interrupted Yun Mo Ran loudly, "Yun Mo Ran, you're clearly shirking responsibility!"

  He Lian Cangning hesitated for a moment, then waved his sleeve: "Go to the Xiao family! Yun Baiyin, leave this place to you to handle. If there's anything improper, come find me to take responsibility!"

  "Yes! I obey the order!" Yun Baiyu hastily responded, his heart becoming somewhat uneasy: The Nineteenth Imperial Uncle's attitude towards Yun Mo Yan seemed to be slightly different, yet he had just personally ordered Xiao Fengxue to take her away...

  A group of people arrived at the Shangshu Mansion and came to the attic where Xiao Fengya lived. Indeed, they found him with a face as pale as gold paper, his breath as thin as a strand of silk, and his life hanging by a thread. Although Leng Huaping was about to give birth, she personally took care of him on the side, occasionally using a handkerchief to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

  She saw everyone making an effort, so she hurriedly got up and paid her respects: "Your servant has seen the nineteenth imperial uncle..."

  "No need for courtesy." He Lian Cangning waved his hand, "Yun Mo Ran, go."

  Yun Mo's voice was heard, avoiding the gaze of the crowd, starting the chip in his body, and doing a check for Xiao Fengya. Then he stood up and said: "Ning Huang Shu, Mo Yan's craniotomy is fine! The reason why the eldest son is like this is not because of brain disease, but seems to be poisoned!"

  "As soon as the word 'poison' came out, both Xiao Feng and Leng Hua's faces changed greatly, and they exclaimed in unison: 'Poisoned?'"

  However, upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that the calmness is merely a facade, and behind the tranquil surface, there is a hint of desperation trying to conceal the panic!

  Yun Mo's expression was cold and silent as he nodded and said: "Yes. However, Mo Ran is not skilled in the use of poison, I don't know if Ning Huang Shu..."

  He Lian Cangning nodded slightly: "Tianmu."

  "Yes." Yan Bo hugged his fist in response, walked forward and took a glance at Xiao Feng, then smiled immediately, "Not bad, indeed Mr. Xiao was poisoned by a kind of poison called 'Ghostly Spirit', this poison is extremely rare, the most terrible part is that it can harm people's brain, making them go mad until death. It's precisely because of this that several imperial physicians would think it's the problem with Seventh Miss's trephining."

  So that's how it is! Xiao Feng suddenly realized and felt uneasy for wrongly accusing Yun Mo Yan: "That... can this poison be cured?"

  "Huan Mo is familiar with all the poisonous substances in the world," He Lian Cang Ning said calmly, "Hand over Xiao Gongzi to him, and let's get out of here."

  He Lian Cangning took the lead and came out, and everyone didn't dare to be slow. They immediately followed him to the front hall. Turning his head to look at Yun Mo Yan, he said simply: "Yun Mo Yan, I'll give you a chance to prove your innocence, go."

  "Thank you, Uncle Ning!" Yun Mochen bowed his head in response, a hint of coldness hidden in his eyes. "Biting Tong, did Sir Xiao take anything after he woke up?"

  Bì Tóng was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and she stammered: "I... I only ate a bowl of thin porridge, it... it was made by the slave herself... but the slave did not put poison in it..."

  "I know," Yun Mo nodded, "Who was in charge of serving porridge to Xiao Gongzi? And who served him medicine?"

  Bi Tong slightly calmed down, and with a bitter face said: "It's all this slave's fault. This slave has been serving young master for over ten years, his eating and living habits have always been taken care of by this slave."

  "It was you who poisoned Feng Ya!" Leng Huaping suddenly shrieked, rushing over and raising her hand to strike. "You heartless wretch! Feng Ya treated you kindly, why are you so cruel?"

  "No, I didn't!" Bi Tong dared not to dodge, and with a thud, she knelt down on the ground, crying and shouting, "Milady, please be just! Young master treats me like his own family, how could I harm him?"

  "You're still making excuses..."

  "Madam!" Yun Mochen sneered, taking a step forward to block Leng Huaying's path. "Whether it is true or not, I have yet to investigate, no need to rush to conclusions! Bi Tong, from the time this bowl of congee was taken out until it was delivered to Xiao Gongzi, did it ever leave your line of sight?"

  At this point, the cold painting screen's face turned even more severe, and the panic in her eyes could no longer be concealed. Her whole body was trembling involuntarily.

  Bi Tong furrowed her brow, recalling: "No... Ah! Yes! When I was walking through the corridor, I bumped into the mistress. She said she also wanted to drink some congee, so I temporarily put the congee on the stone table and went back to the kitchen to scoop a bowl for her..."

  Xiao Feng's face was filled with shock and incredulity: "Screen Aunt, it's actually you? You... why did you do this?"

  "No! It wasn't me!" Leng Hua Ping frantically clutched her abdomen, shaking her head desperately, "Feng Yu, how could I harm Feng Ya? Obviously it was this dead girl..."

  "No, it's not Bitong." Xiao Feng shook his head painfully, staring at Leng Hua's face on the screen. "Bitong entered the Shangshu Mansion when she was still in her swaddling clothes and had been serving Big Brother since childhood. She would never harm him! Besides, the poison of the ghost is so rare, how could a maid who doesn't leave the house all day get it?"

  Bì Tóng raised her head and glanced at Xiāo Fēng, her face filled with gratitude.

  The screen flickered even more violently, but he gritted his teeth and refused to admit it: "I'm also unable to leave the house, where did I get the poison from? Wind Ruo, really isn't me, I didn't... uh... ah... ah! My stomach hurts so much..."

  She suddenly clutched her belly and let out a loud shriek, Xiao Feng was startled: "Ping Niangniang! You..."

  "Madam's child is about to be born!" Yan Mu immediately spoke up, reminding him, "Fourth Master, no matter what, please ask someone to help Madam give birth first!"

  "Right! Right!" Xiao Feng nodded repeatedly, "Bi Tong, go find the midwife quickly!"

  Bi Tong responded with a sound, got up and ran. In the midst of chaos, Yun Mo's quick wit moved swiftly to activate the crystal chip inside her body to do an ultrasound scan on Leng Hua's screen, and suddenly discovered the fetus in her abdomen...

  Fine, now that the screen is cleared, you can tell the truth! You're unlucky to have fallen into my hands!

  Although he hadn't met Ling Hua often, Yun Mo Ran had already noticed that she was left-handed. If the poison in Xiao Feng Ya was really hers, then she must have been accustomed to using her left hand.

  A cold laugh came from the darkness, and Yun Mo said calmly: "Madam, you should know that evil deeds will not go unpunished. Otherwise, no matter what you do, it will all come back to haunt your child in the womb!"

  Due to the pain, Leng Hua's face was already somewhat distorted, gritting his teeth and roaring: "You... what nonsense are you talking about? My child will absolutely be fine..."

  "Is that so?" Yun Mo sneered, "Then I'll tell you, the hand you used to poison the young master will be punished by heaven when your child is born! If you don't believe me, just wait and see after the child is born!"

  "Ah...! It hurts so much!" Ling Hua's screen suddenly let out a sharp cry and couldn't say anything else.

  Xiao Feng anxiously and angrily ordered the crowd: "Someone, quickly help Madam in! Biting Tong, you go back and take care of Big Brother!"

  The maid did not dare to be slow, and immediately supported the cold painting screen into the inner room. Before long, Bi Tong brought in a midwife in a hurry, followed by the cold painting screen's intermittent shrill cries.

  After a while, Xiao Yuan hurried over after receiving the news. Although He Lian Cangning was by his side, he didn't dare to say anything to Yun Mo Yan, but he glared at her with a resentful expression before asking: "Feng Yu, how's the painting screen?"

  "It's being produced inside." Xiao Feng nodded, and only then remembered to ask Yan Mu: "Excuse me, sir, what about Big Brother..."

  "The poison in his body has been resolved, and Xiao Gongzi will wake up soon." Yan Mu nodded, "Fourth Master, please be at ease."

  "Thank you!" Xiaofeng was overjoyed and bowed deeply, then turned to face Yunmochi with a guilty expression, "Seventh Miss..."

  "It's too early." Yun Mo Yan waved his hand to interrupt him, "Fourth Master, please calm down, let's talk about everything after Madame gives birth!"

  Xiao Feng's face was slightly embarrassed, and facing Xiao Yuan Chu's puzzled gaze, he could only lower his head and whisper a few sentences in his ear. Xiao Yuan Chu's expression changed greatly upon hearing the words: "Hua Ping, why did you want to poison Feng Ya?"

  Looking at Yun Mo's calm and composed appearance, Tian Ya couldn't help but feel curious, so she leaned in and asked: "Seventh Miss, what you just said about retribution... is it true?"

  "Really." Yun Mo Yan nodded solemnly, "If you don't believe me, we'll see about that later."

  "But how do you know..."

  "The mountain man has his own wonderful plan." Yun Mo smiled and secretly plotted against Tian Ye.

  Just then, a loud cry of a baby came from the inner room: "Wa... wa..."

  "It's born! It's born!" Then came the midwife's excited shout, but her voice suddenly changed tone, "Ah! How could this be? This..."

  Is there an unexpected event?

  He Lian Cangning gazed deeply at Yun Mo Ran, but before she could say anything, Leng Hua Ping rushed out, holding a child and stumbling, and knelt down in front of Yun Mo Ran with a thud: "Seventh Miss! Seventh Miss, save my child! Wuuu...save him! He's innocent..."

  She had just given birth and her body must have been extremely weak. Yet she managed to rush out, which shows how anxious she was inside!

  Xiaoyuan's eyes widened in shock, and she was at a loss for words: "This... what on earth is going on? The child... how is the child?"

  "Answering the master," the midwife said timidly, "the lady has given birth to a young prince, but the young prince's left hand..."

  Left hand? The crowd's hearts skipped a beat, and they suddenly looked at the child in Leng Hua's arms. The child was still wailing away, completely unaware of what had just happened.

  Xiaoyuan rushed over, pulled open the swaddling clothes, grabbed the baby's left hand and took a closer look. Suddenly she let out a loud "ah" and fell to the ground with a thud, her face turning deathly pale!
