The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 72

Granny Ruo never expected that Qingyan would mention these things at a time like this, and that everything was nothing like how she'd imagined.

What she'd imagined was that by now, Qingyan should have already fallen asleep. And she would just have to wait until the people Ning Siyao sends come to abduct her. Afterwards, she can leave this place.

Secretly without a trace, no one would know that Su Qingyan's death was once caused by her. But then, why did it turn out like this now? Could it be that she overlooked something?

"Miss, what are you talking about?" Granny Ruo looked to Qingyan refusing to admit it. Although she felt a bit guilty, she still didn't want to admit to the fact that she'd already betrayed Yingshuang yard.

Qingyan smiled, "Granny Ruo, your grandsons, your sons, your daughter-in-laws, are you not curious to how they died? Did you really think that it was Ning Siyao that sent someone to kill them?"

Granny Ruo listened to Qingyan's words, and her eyes widened. She pointed to Qingyan, a bit loss for words, "It was you. It was you that killed them!"

Qingyan listened, not denying granny Ruo's words. She raised her head and looked to granny Ruo, her tone condescendingly cold, "That's right. It was me. That's because you betrayed me first."

Granny Ruo was still shaking her head, "Miss, I've never betrayed you before. Why did you want to kill my grandsons!"

"No?" Su Qingyan laughed out loud, "If you really didn't intend on harming me, then why did your grandsons died? The pastries they ate were the ones you gave to me." Qingyan walked closer to granny Ruo still carrying a smile on her face, "In the end, you were the one that killed them."

Granny Ruo was still unable to believe what she'd just heard, because she'd always concealed this secret really well. It was impossible for Su Qingyan to have known about her family, furthermore they lived in that remote of an area.

"You're definitely lying to me. That's why you're saying these things. Miss, I really didn't betray you!" With that said, granny Ruo loudly bowed her head to the ground.

Qingyan took the container from Qingdai's hands. She opened it at once and placed everything out in front of granny Ruo, "Granny Ruo, do you know what this is?"

Seeing the red bean rice cake on the ground, granny Ruo asked in confusion, "Isn't this miss' favorite red bean rice cake?"

"That's correct. This one is the one you just brought over." Qingyan crouched down and picked up the red bean rice cake off the ground, preparing to shove it into granny Ruo's mouth.

"Granny Ruo, do you want to know what kind of poison is injected in this?"

When granny Ruo saw Qingyan, she immediately covered her mouth, but she simply wasn't a match for Qingdai and Chishao. The two of them strongly held down her arms, and she could only watch as Qingyan forced the cake into her mouth.

"Granny Ruo, even though it has come to this, you still have no intention of confessing. So I'll just have to say it for you." The corner of Qingyan's lip curled up.

Qingyan told her everything, including every single thing that granny Ruo ever did. Although she was forcing a smile on her face, granny Ruo still could feel the dense chill behind her words. She seemed to have never seen this kind of Qingyan before.

"Granny Ruo, did you know that every single thing you've done were all within my calculations, including Ning Siyao's plan." Qingyan carried Yaoyao in her arms as she nonchalantly spoke, "Since she's sent you to me, did you really think I'd still let you stay?"

"Miss, please have mercy, it was all because of my greed!" Granny Ruo spoke, unable to articulate her words. She even loudly bowed her head to the ground, but none of this entered Qingyan's eyes.

Qingyan turned to granny Ruo and spat out a bug from her mouth. She held the bug in her palm and whispered, "Ling'er, you should know what to do."

With that said, she crouched down and placed it down on the ground. In an instant, it crawled towards granny Ruo. By the time granny Ruo discovered that it was a scorpion, moreover a scorpion that she'd never seen before, it had already dug into her body before she could even react.

She could feel a piercing pain, and not long after, she passed out.
