In the living room of the thousand-year-old temple, a group of female relatives of dignitaries in the capital were sitting, and everyone's eyes fell on a child dressed in simple clothes.

It turned out that the mother of this child was a widow who worked in a good clothing store.

Hearing that there was a large-scale soup kitchen event today, she came over to help.

Just now, everyone was talking about the refugees who got upset after eating porridge. When she inquired about it, she found out that this matter was related to her boss, and she was immediately worried.

She really wanted to come out and say a few words for Shen Ruoyan, but considering that Shen Ruoyan didn't want everyone to know that she was the boss behind the clothing store, she asked her child to stand up.

Erniu was so scared to be stared at by so many pairs of eyes, but her mother told her that the eldest sister who had helped their whole family was in trouble, and it was their turn to help her this time.

Erniu clenched her little hands into fists and kept encouraging herself in her heart:

She must be strong!

She also wants to protect her big sister!

The child's clear voice sounded in the living room: "When I was three years old, my father accidentally fell to death while hunting in the mountains. My mother had to support my two brothers and me by herself, and she often didn't have enough to eat. I didn't expect that there would be no rain in our area this summer. There was no rain, and there was nothing to eat at home. We were really hungry, so we must have followed everyone and fled here.

But when we got to the city, no one wanted to hire her because my mother was a woman and she took my brother and me with her.Later, this eldest sister found a job for my mother and arranged a place for us to live, so our family finally lived a good life. "

Erniu was only five years old. What she thought was a good life was nothing more than having food to eat and a place to sleep. A few days ago, her mother brought back two pieces of cloth and said she could make new clothes for herself and her brother. She was very happy. I couldn't sleep for days.

“My whole family was saved by my eldest sister!

Big sister is the best person in the world, you can't accuse her so unfairly! "

At the end, Erniu's voice was filled with tears. At such a young age, she still couldn't understand. The eldest sister was obviously such a good person, so why did others say that she deliberately added croton to the porridge?

She felt particularly aggrieved. Even she, a child, knew that adding croton to her porridge would not do her eldest sister any good, but why didn't others believe it?

Suddenly, a warm hand covered the top of Erniu's head and touched it gently. She raised her tearful eyes and saw an old man wearing cassock standing beside her.

The old grandfather smiled kindly at her.

The person who came was the abbot of Miaoyin Temple. He raised his palms and saluted everyone with one hand, and then said slowly: "I also believe in Miss Shen's character!

On weekdays, Miss Shen often comes to the temple to help and rescue those in need.This time she heard that there was a large influx of victims, so she specially asked people to donate money.

What reason does such a kind-hearted person have to deliberately poison his own porridge pot to harm others?Moreover, this matter is full of doubts, and we should investigate it carefully before we can draw a conclusion. "

Shen Ruoyan did not expect that those small acts of kindness she had done in the past would actually come into play at a critical moment.

The old man and the young man stood here, but they were more important than any powerful person.

Shen Ruoyan bowed deeply to them, then walked to the table and poured all the brown powder back into the porcelain bottle.

Just when everyone was confused, Shen Ruoyan said: "We all know that poisoning depends on the dosage, so how many people can this whole bottle of croton powder harm?"

Su Xihe did not expect that after the abbot defended her, Shen Ruoyan would take the initiative to bring the topic back to this issue, and immediately answered excitedly: "Such a bottle of croton powder can certainly cause diarrhea to many people. Vomiting!”

"Eh? That's weird." Shen Ruoyan raised a successful smile at the corner of her mouth. This was what she was waiting for, "There are so many patients with diarrhea and vomiting outside, but why was this bottle of powder found in my room , but it’s full?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone reacted.

The bottle of powder found from Shen Ruoyan's wing, even if it was indeed croton powder, was a full bottle. Even if the refugees suffered from abdominal pain and vomiting due to eating croton, it would have nothing to do with this bottle of powder. It doesn't matter, because not much powder has been poured out from this bottle!

Shen Ruoyan's analysis instantly rendered this so-called key evidence useless.

Su Xihe glared at the maid standing behind her resentfully.

Su Xihe dressed up today just to show off, but seeing Shen Ruoyan shine in front of everyone, and then kissing Mr. Lu, whom she had admired for a long time, under her nose, Su Xihe was about to get angry. crazy.

Due to new grudges and old grudges, Su Xihe ordered the maid beside her to secretly poison Shen Ruoyan's porridge pot.When someone gets sick, she will tell her mother that Shen Ruoyan did it, and the evidence is hidden in the wing where she rests.

Last time at the Li Mansion, Shen Ruoyan openly contradicted her mother. Her mother had long hated her and would definitely take people to search Shen Ruoyan's room. She just had to ask her people to bring the porcelain bottle containing croton powder, and then pretend to be from Shen Ruoyan. If they are found in the room, someone can take away the stolen goods.

After making such a big fuss, with all the noble women in the capital watching, even if Shen Ruoyan could escape punishment, her reputation would be ruined and she would never be able to hold her head high again in their circle.

Su Xihe's plan seemed perfect, but it was just a spur-of-the-moment idea without much thought.

The maid obeyed her lady's order and secretly poured the croton powder into Shen Ruoyan's porridge pot, but she was doing it for the wrong reasons. She was afraid of being seen by others, and was extremely nervous. She was also afraid that if she added too little, it would not be effective.

If this matter was not handled well, the lady would definitely beat her again when she returned, so the maid poured a whole bottle of croton powder in with a shake of her hand.

Looking at the empty porcelain bottle, the maid was worried that others would not be able to find out that it was croton powder. Even though she could not convict Shen Ruoyan, she hid a brand new bottle of croton powder in her waist, mixed in with the crowd, broke into the side room where Shen Ruoyan was resting, and Pretending to find this small porcelain bottle under Shen Ruoyan's pillow.

Seeing that the whole thing fell short because of this small oversight, Su Xihe glared at her maid viciously, and had already thought about how to break her after returning home to vent her anger.

The maid was so frightened that her face turned pale when she stared at her like this.
