Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 974: With You Always (119)
She came over from the side of the small tea table in a red dress, looking around at everyone, "When I arrived just now, Xiangyi secretly told me that her mother-in-law brewed some wine. Feng Qinglian wanted her to tell the Heavenly King that she brewed it to show her filial piety as a daughter. Xiangyi didn’t think much of it, believing his words made sense. Moreover, which fool would poison someone in front of a crowd like this, would you?" Gu Lili’s Huiling Sword pointed at the people from the Immortal Realm, "Would you? Or you? Today’s attendees at the Heavenly King’s birthday are all notable figures. If you can’t see even this simple reasoning and just parrot what others say, what a waste of all those years of life!"
"Divine Mother Jun Li, what you said can be completely countered. No one would poison openly, we can all think of that. If Jun Xiangyi leveraged our line of thought, wouldn’t that exclude her first? Why did she secretly tell you that it was her husband who told her to say such a thing first? Wasn’t it to inform you so you could testify for her?" The Demon King stood up with incisive words, "Everyone in the Demon World knows how well Qing Lian treats her. Furthermore, they have a child together; Qing Lian would never do such a thing! Homemade wine usually isn’t opened after being sealed to keep it good for drinking. She admitted it herself, but now she wants to deny it; how can we buy that?"
"I’ve been married to Jun Xiangyi for several years, and I know she doesn’t brew wine at all. She isn’t interested in winemaking; at most, she drinks it. Asking her to make wine is simply absurd. Plus, she would never risk doing such a thing openly at the Heavenly King’s birthday banquet. She isn’t that witless." This was said by Xu Mohan, with Jun Xiangyi not expecting him to stand up and speak on her behalf.
From start to finish, Jun Xiangyi felt a cold chill in her body. Her expectations for future life and the joy of pregnancy were all completely washed away,
Hong Ying also stood up to speak, "I believe there’s nothing more to say about this matter. In front of everyone, the Heavenly King drank Jun Xiangyi’s wine and something happened, yet she’s trying to argue it wasn’t her doing, which isn’t convincing at all."
"Then according to what you said, Hong Ying, if I were to put some poison in your drink, and you drank your own wine and died here, would that mean you poisoned yourself?" Long Yubei questioned, "Is that right?"
"I didn’t say that. It’s obvious that the wine was brought from her home by Jun Xiangyi. There certainly wasn’t anyone else tampering with it along the way. Under her watchful eye, not even her husband would have had the opportunity, right? The only explanation is that she poisoned it herself."
"Your deduction makes no sense at all." Gu Lili refuted her, "Who would be so vigilant over a bottle of wine when they’re completely unguarded?"
"Divine Mother Jun Li, your words are even less convincing. Who doesn’t know of your close relationship with Jun Xiangyi, combined with the fact you were sent as hostages by the Heavenly King to the Demon World, naturally leaving you dissatisfied with him. Everyone, don’t you think I’m right?"
The crowd jeered, "Hong Ying is right!"
"Today, the subject we’re discussing is who poisoned the Heavenly King. No matter how dissatisfied I am with being sent as hostages by the Heavenly King to the Demon World, the chaos in the Heavenly World is the last thing I want to see. Hong Ying, what are your true intentions? Are you so eager for turmoil here so the Demon World can take advantage of the situation?"
"Jun Li, don’t slander me indiscriminately. I didn’t mean that!"
