Chapter 210 - 210: Nonsense

“Listen to what you’re saying!” Song Yi wore a stern expression. “That’s your sister, not a murderer.”

Song Yi did not know about what had transpired during this period, so in his eyes, Song Yin remained the obedient daughter who never caused trouble.

People often clung to their beliefs and were resistant to change, despite any amount of persuasion.

Over the years, Song Yin had masterfully played her act in front of Song Yi, and with Meng Yu’s support, she had successfully cemented an image of obedience and fragility in his mind.

This image was deeply ingrained and couldn’t be erased overnight.

Song Kai’s eyes were wide with shock. “She’s already done such a thing, and she even said that she wanted to kill Little Sister. Is it wrong for me to want the truth?”

Song Yi found himself in a moral dilemma. On one hand, he empathized with Song Yin’s current state of delirium, but on the other hand, he also desired the truth.

The words that Song Yin uttered at the banquet were disturbing, and if Song Fan was indeed drugged in the past, it could overturn everything. He hoped, for the sake of their family’s reputation, that those events were not connected to Song Fan.

At this moment, Meng Yu walked in, sounding anxious as she inquired, “How did Yinyin become like this? Hurry up and help her into the room.”

Her tone carried the urgency of a mother concerned about her child. However, Song Kai refused to release his grip on Song Yin’s arm.

“Let go,” Song Fan said, “Let her go back and rest.”

Song Kai was incredulous that Song Fan could say such a thing, especially when it concerned her innocence. He wondered why he seemed to be the only one eager to uncover the truth.

Meng Yu continued, “Fanfan is right. Let sister go back and rest first.”

After offering her advice, she helped the servants escort Song Yin upstairs. She understood that her daughter was in a precarious state, and to prevent any mishaps, she couldn’t allow her to remain in the living room.

Unaware that her mother was close by, Song Yin shouted, “Song Fan should have died in the countryside long ago. She must have been stupid after drinking so much medicine!”

Meng Yu quickly covered Song Yin’s mouth to prevent her from revealing more. She deliberately assigned a servant she trusted to watch over Song Yin before returning downstairs with a concerned expression.

“Hubby, I don’t know what’s wrong with Yinyin,” Meng Yu said, “Not only is she talking nonsense, but she can’t wake up. Did she eat something she shouldn’t have?”

Song Yi could only exchange glances with Song Fan and Song Kai. Both of them shook their heads, indicating their lack of knowledge on the matter.

Naturally, Song Fan knew the cause of Song Yin’s condition. However, the concoction she had used wouldn’t be detected even if taken to the hospital.

Song Yi, wearing a perplexed expression, said, “Let’s get a doctor to examine her. We need to make sure she’s not speaking nonsense due to excessive drinking at the banquet.”

Meng Yu added, “Yinyin has never been fond of drinking. At most, she had a little at the banquet.”

She then turned to Song Fan and inquired, “Fanfan, you girls were together. Did you notice what she ate?”

Song Fan responded directly, “She and I are only together when we fight.”

These words were exceptionally impolite. They took Meng Yu by surprise. The once gentle and obedient Song Fan had become sharp-tongued.

Afterward, Meng Yu pieced together what had occurred from Song Kai’s account. She inwardly scolded Song Yin for her recklessness. She had allowed herself to be ensnared despite her schemes.

This was done by Song Fan, but without evidence, she could only endure it. She had been too far away from home previously, but now she had returned, she was determined to make Song Fan go back to the countryside.

“Dad, we can’t simply ignore what Song Yin said,” Song Kai fretfully asserted.

“We need to thoroughly investigate this matter.”

Before Song Yi could respond, Meng Yu interjected, “Xiao Kai, this is not a minor issue. Bringing it up now would deeply upset Fanfan. Must we dredge up the mistakes she made as a child?”

She was constantly trying to establish the truth and firmly insisted that Song Fan had indeed poisoned Song Kai. If it were proven that Song Fan was innocent, then the witness, Song Yin, would be in danger.

She was also betting on how much Song Fan cared about this matter. After all, for a young girl, being repeatedly accused of something she didn’t do would undoubtedly lead to an emotional outburst.

However, Song Fan smiled and declared, “There’s nothing to be sad about. If you wish to investigate, then do so thoroughly..”
