Chapter 217: The motive

Huang Yueli was a bit surprised.

Bai Ruoqi unexpectedly came up with this trick. Worthy of being her cousin; smart enough, but also....shameless enough!

In a timely manner, Huang Yueli made a frightened expression. Staring with a pair of innocent eyes she confidently said: "Second Sister, you..... how can you say that? How can I slander you?"

She bit her pinky lower lip, about to burst into tears.

In the Empress Dowager's eyes, her heart felt more pity when she thought of her many years of grievances.

"Li girl, do not be sad. Ai Jia believes you are not such a person! Qi'er, how can you say that about your sister? Ai Jia really did not think you were such a person!"

"Empress Dowager, you are too biased. Qi'er has evidence!"

Bai Ruoqi grinded her teeth, loudly crying out in defense.

"Before Qi'er fainted, she only drank that cup of wine with Third Sister. So she suspects the likelihood of her poisoning the wine is the largest!"
