Everyone looked at Mu Yan, only to realize that they didn’t know when she had already returned to her calm and collected appearance, as if what Zhuang Chujiao said was nothing.
Ruan Xinyu was the one who had the most contact with Mu Yan, and understood her the best.
Previously, when she was clamoring for a divorce from Jing Heng, she was genuinely worried.
But now, she revealed Zhuang Chujiao’s true colors with just a few words, full of confidence, obviously having a ans to turn the tables.
She glanced at Jiang Jingheng. She had heard from Zhuang Yi about this nephew-in-law’s character, extrely restrained and courteous, looking down on others, and no one could force him to do anything he didn’t want to do.
So, she really couldn’t believe he could be interested in Zhuang Chujiao, unless it was because of drunken misconduct.
"Nuannuan, clarify things, were you in the sa room with Jing Heng last night?" Mrs. Zhuang asked.
"Of course!" Mu Yan said with a smile. "I slept quite early last night, woke up and found Jing Heng hadn’t returned yet, and prepared to go downstairs to check. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Guan Chao supporting Jing Heng over. I helped him back to the room and went to sleep."
"You’re lying!" Zhuang Chujiao said coldly.
Mu Yan chuckled, "Then do you have any evidence to prove I’m lying?"
"Of course, I have evidence!" Zhuang Chujiao said without hesitation.
"Oh? Show us so we can judge," Mu Yan replied with a smile.
Zhuang Chujiao was stunned, having spoken too hastily. Now calming down, she realized there’s nothing to prove that she was with Brother Jing Heng yesterday, while Mu Yan was with Guan Chao.
No wait, Guan Chao!
She turned to Mu Yan and said, "You can summon Guan Chao here to confront!"
"Who knows if Guan Chao might collude with you, trying to slander ?" Mu Yan sneered, "After all, it wouldn’t be the first ti you two have colluded."
"You!" Zhuang Chujiao exploded with anger.
She thought for a mont and said, "You claim you woke up in the middle of the night, went out to find Brother Jing Heng, and then encountered Guan Chao? That’s impossible!"
"Why impossible? You an people aren’t allowed to get up at night?" Mu Yan remarked humorously.
Zhuang Chujiao obviously had her reasons, last night she put sleeping pills in everyone’s cups, which is why they drank so late and there was no movent at ho.
If others couldn’t wake up, why could Mu Yan?
No, she’s lying!
Mu Yan laughed softly, "Looks like you have no evidence then."
Zhuang Chujiao looked at her smug deanor, feeling bitterly angry inside, and said through clenched teeth, "I have evidence; Grandma and Auntie are the evidence."
"Oh?" Mu Yan looked at her in surprise, and others, especially Ruan Xinyu and Mrs. Zhuang, were clueless.
Zhuang Chujiao gritted her teeth and said, "Last night I brewed calming tea for everyone, Grandma and Auntie should’ve slept soundly till morning, right?"
Mrs. Zhuang and Ruan Xinyu exchanged a glance, indeed it seed so.
Zhuang Chujiao glanced over at them, then at Mu Yan, "Why did Auntie and Grandma sleep so well, yet you got up at night?"
"Calming tea isn’t a sleeping pill, why can’t soone get up?" Mu Yan chuckled, "Or, did you put sleeping pills in the tea last night?"
As she said that, everyone’s face changed, because indeed they slept very well last night, especially the elderly lady who usually had restless nights.
"Jiaojiao, how dare you!" Mrs. Zhuang said angrily.
Zhuang Chujiao lowered her head, not speaking, looking desperate.
"Such misdeeds!" Mrs. Zhuang cried out.
"Mom, don’t get excited," Ruan Xinyu quickly advised.
Mu Yan looked at Zhuang Chujiao with so pity, "You might not know, I’m afraid of a lot of dications in this life, but I’m not afraid of sleeping pills."
