Chapter 236: Attempt

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In an attempt to silence song Yin, meng Yu cried until sne was out ot breatn, clearly overwhelmed with sorrow.

On the contrary, Song Yin couldn’t shed any more tears. The intensity of her previous crying left her looking somewhat dazed.

Gu Zhuo sighed silently to himself. A mother and daughter resorting to tears as their primary means of problem-solving didn’t escape his notice.

However, their tears held no sway over Song Huai. He even took out his phone, attending to other matters, giving them the time to cry.

Meanwhile, Song Chuan took Song Fan aside, bombarding him with various questions, eager to know his little sister’s current interests. Song Kai interjected occasionally.

This attitude perplexed Meng Yu, unsure whether to continue crying. Song Yi also perceived it as disrespectful to their elders, so he said, “Ask whatever you want to ask.”

Song Fan, seemingly indifferent, continued chatting with Song Chuan as if she hadn’t heard him. She harbored no feelings for Song Yi.

Song Huai paused in his activities and asked, “You two mentioned poisoning when you were young. Tell me about the whole thing.”

This was the information he was most eager to learn about. Only by hearing it from their mouths could he establish Song Fan’s innocence.

Upon sensing the gravity of the situation, Song Yin quickly spoke up, “If my mother wanted to marry into the family, she had to remove all obstacles. Auntie Yu Wan cared most about her youngest daughter, Song Fan, so my mother gave me a bottle of medicine and asked me to drug Song Fan’s food. This way, she would become irritable and appear unlikeable to everyone. Then, we could execute the plan.”

She continued, “The plan involved poisoning Fourth Brother and then having me point the finger at Song Fan. This way, we could send Song Fan away and also provoke Auntie Yu Wan. I just didn’t expect her to get into a car accident on the way to the hospital.”

These revelations were deeply unsettling to those present. Gu Zhuo felt as if he had a fire under his buttocks. As an outsider, he shouldn’t be listening anymore, but it was too late to stand up and leave. He was in a dilemma.

Song Kai, unaware of the backstory, looked at Song Fan with heartache. He recalled that the servant had mentioned Song Fan’s refusal to admit guilt, claiming she had never poisoned him.

At the time, he thought Song Fan was lying to avoid taking responsibility. Now, it seemed that if he had trusted his sister a bit more, even if he had raised objections and urged his brothers to investigate, they wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation.

Others in the room shared similar thoughts, directing their gazes at Song Fan. However, she displayed minimal reaction. This matter was already ancient history to her. Even if she was vindicated now, those years were irretrievably lost.

Song Yi was utterly stunned. Holding his chest, he struggled to catch his breath. Song Ting rushed over to check on him, eventually stabilizing his condition.

Yu Wan’s death had always been a painful memory for Song Yi. He believed it was an accident that led to their separation, but now Song Yin claimed it was all premeditated. He couldn’t bear it.

“A Yu, is what Yinyin said true?” Song Yi questioned.

Meng Yu understood that she could never admit to this. Other than Yu Wan, she was the only one Song Yi couldn’t touch.

She sobbed and shook her head, “Wanwan and I are best friends. How could I do such a thing? That medicine is indeed mine, but it’s a family heirloom. I knew I couldn’t use it, but I couldn’t bear to throw it away, so I hid it in a box and never opened it. I don’t know when Yinyin took it.”

She added, “At that time, she had just lost her father not long ago. I didn’t notice her mental state. Who knew she would come to hate Song Fan, living a happy life, and secretly drug her? When I found out, it was already too late. I finally retrieved the medicine and wanted to tell Wanwan, but later on, Song Kai was poisoned. At that time, the situation was too chaotic, and I didn’t know who did it. I also believed that Yinyin had pointed out Song Fan, but I didn’t expect such an outcome.”

Their explanations seemed conflicting, possibly an attempt to shift blame. However, the crucial message emerged: Song Fan’s childhood irritability was a result of being drugged.

Upon hearing this, Song Yi dared not look at his daughter’s face. Profound guilt almost overwhelmed him.

Song Huai persisted, “Then tell me, who was the person who poisoned Song Kai?”

“My Mom gave me the poison.”

“I don’t know..”
