Ji Ling stood up abruptly, sweeping the documents on the table onto the floor as she bellowed, "Poison? I did not! Yes! Xiao Mingwei gave me a poison to administer to the elder, but I never had the chance!"
Yun Yue narrowed her eyes. It wasn't her who administered the poison?
Was there another person in the Ji Family with malicious intents?
"That day, I sneaked into his study, only wanting his seal. But then he suddenly walked in, caught me trying to steal it, and in a moment of panic, we argued, and he just collapsed, gasping for breath. I got scared and hid back in my room, but I never poisoned him!"
Now that it had come to this, there was no use in struggling. Gu Cong was right; she was no match for Yun Yue.
She sat there, relaxed, effortlessly destroying her entire plan with just a few sentences. She didn't even need to make any effort to be involved in all this; one word from her could settle everything.
Yun Yue narrowed her eyes, weighing the truth in her words.
