She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 259 Green Tea Selfish Cousin 28

Tan Wu Ning slept until almost noon. Just as she lazily got up, Chun Feng suddenly came in and reported: "Miss, the Imperial Master and Second Young Master Xie are here."

"Xie Wanheng?"

Tan Wu Ning stood up from the dressing table in surprise: "Why is he here? Tell him to go to the hall and wait for me. I'll be there soon."

Chun Feng reminded her hesitantly, "Miss, the Imperial Master and Second Young Master Xie came with Miss Shen, and they both looked unhappy, as if they were here to call for punishment."

The smile on Tan Wu Ning's face froze slightly. She asked in confusion, "Are you here to call me to task?"

In the flower hall, the maid brought the tea and said, "Please wait a moment, my lady will be here soon."

After the maid left, Tan Yuan glanced at the teacup and said with a hint of meaning: "It seems that what Yan Qizhao said is absolutely right. Xie Wanheng, you really have an affair with Miss Tan."

Xie Wanheng glanced at him and ignored him. He shook Shen Weicang's hand with concern: "Is Cangcang cold? Are you feeling unwell now?"

Shen Weicang shook her head and whispered, "Wanheng, Tanyuan, let's go back. I really don't think it has anything to do with Miss Tan."

"How can it have nothing to do with her?" Tan Yuan glanced at Xie Wanheng. "You only ate here that day, and vomited blood when you returned to the Xie family. Who else had the chance to poison you except her?"

Tan Wuning walked into the flower hall and frowned when he heard Tan Yuan's words: "Poisoned? Who poisoned?"

She was wearing a lake blue dress and her hair was specially combed into the style of the day she met Xie Wanheng in her previous life before she married Yan Qizhao. Unfortunately, he only glanced at her, his eyes were calm and there was no reaction at all.

Instead, he opened his mouth to accuse:

"What did you feed Cang Cang that day? She had abdominal pain and vomited blood when she returned to the Xie Mansion. She thought you invited her to play because you really wanted to make friends with her, so you actually poisoned her?"

Tan Wu Ning was hurt by the coldness and disgust in his words. She explained anxiously: "Why would I poison her for no reason? What good would it do me?"

"You have to ask yourself," Tan Yuan said expressionlessly, revealing her thoughts, "You and Xie Wanheng have already secretly decided to spend their lives together, so you can't stand seeing any woman around him."

Without waiting for Tan Wu Ning to deny it, Xie Wan Heng sneered: "Stop talking nonsense, I have nothing to do with her."

Tan Wuning looked at Shen Weicang. This scheming woman had always framed him in his previous life. He didn't expect that she was still the same in this life.

"Ms. Shen, do you think I poisoned you?" she questioned. "You didn't eat anything at my place that day, not even a cup of tea. How could I have poisoned you?"

Shen Weicang quickly shook his head: "I didn't, I didn't say Miss Tan poisoned her, I also tried to persuade them, Tan Yuan and Wan Heng had to come, I couldn't stop them."

She stood up and pulled one person up with one hand: "Let's go back, I'm fine now."

Tan Wuning raised his hand to stop her: "Wait, are you trying to say that you are fine now so you won't hold me accountable for poisoning you?"

Shen Weicang was startled by her and subconsciously took a step back:

"Ms. Tan, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I wanted to say that I'm fine now, and no matter who poisoned me, don't pursue it any further."

Tan Wu Ning laughed with an ambiguous tone: "You are quite generous. You didn't pursue the matter even though someone poisoned you. Are you worried that it would be difficult to defend yourself if it was discovered?"

"Miss Tan, I don't understand what you are saying."

Shen Weicang said timidly: "Wan Heng, Tan Yuan, let's go."

The more anxious she was to leave, the more Tan Wu Ning suspected that she was faking the poisoning.

Especially since Xie Wanheng had misunderstood her, how could he let Shen Weicang pin the crime of poisoning on her like that?

She looked at Xie Wanheng: "Do you really believe what she said?"

Xie Wanheng was still holding Shen Weicang's hand. He first asked her to sit down in a gentle voice, and then said to Tan Wuning: "She only drank tea and had snacks at your place. Who else could it be if not you?"

"Is this what she said?" Tan Wu Ning was so angry.

"She is a real liar. She clearly didn't drink a single sip of the tea. The first cup was drunk by her maid, and she threw the second cup away because she said it was scalded. When did she drink the tea?"

"And the snacks. She clearly didn't eat a single bite after my maid brought them to her. If I really poisoned them, her maid should have been poisoned as well, right?"

Seeing that Xie Wanheng still had a cold face and didn't believe her, Tan Wu Ning felt very aggrieved: "You can ask Chunfeng and Qiuyun if the situation that day was what I said."

Xie Wanheng had a blank expression on his face: "They are your maids, so naturally they will listen to you in everything. It's up to you to decide what to say."

Tan Wu Ning once again felt the feeling of being unable to defend herself. She looked at Shen Weicang again: "Tell me, did you drink tea or eat snacks here?"

Shen Weicang looked at her in surprise:

"Ms. Tan, how could you lie? I know you're worried about being implicated in my poisoning, but you can't lie. I clearly drank two cups of tea and ate several dim sum, and even said I didn't need to have dinner when I returned home."

Chunfeng couldn't help but interrupt, "Ms. Shen, you are the one who lied. You clearly didn't drink a single sip of those two cups of tea."

"When the master is talking, when is it your turn to interrupt casually?" Tan Yuan glanced at her lightly, "The Marquis' Mansion is too unruly."

Tan Wuning looked directly at Shen Weicang: "Okay, since you insist on saying that I poisoned you, then let me ask you, what do the tea and snacks taste like?"

Shen Weicang was a little at a loss: "I... Miss Tan, I never said that you were the one who poisoned me. Tan Yuan, Wan Heng, forget it, let's go back, don't make such a big fuss, I don't want to pursue it anymore."

She pulled Xie Wanheng out with all her strength. Tan Wu Ning was dazzled by what she saw and stepped forward to pull the two apart:

"What do you mean you don't want to investigate or make a big fuss? I don't think you're poisoned at all and you want to slander me. I can find a doctor to check your pulse right now. Do you dare?"

Shen Weicang subconsciously hid behind Xie Wanheng: "Ms. Tan, I have already said that I will not pursue the matter, why are you still stopping us from leaving?"

Xie Wanheng protected her behind him, his face full of caution towards Tan Wuning. She said with hurt expression:

"Xie Wanheng, can't you see that she is lying? She doesn't even dare to ask a doctor to take her pulse!"

Xie Wanheng thought it was ridiculous: "Are you saying that Cang Cang poisoned himself in order to frame you?"

"She wasn't poisoned at all!" Tan Wuning shouted.

"She looks so good, how can she be poisoned? Xie Wanheng, are you blind? I'm the one who was wrongly accused! Why are you protecting her?!"

Shen Weicang held Xie Wanheng's hand tightly and looked up at him:

"Wan Heng, I didn't lie. I really had a stomachache that day and vomited blood. I have been feeling very uncomfortable these days. Tan Yuan came to help me with the treatment."

Xie Wanheng held her in his arms and coaxed her gently: "Cangcang, you don't need to explain. I believe everything you say."

Hearing this, Tan Wuning looked at Tan Yuan who had been sitting upright in the chair and said sarcastically, "I didn't expect that the Imperial Master, who is so upright and kind, would also be partial to someone."

"Party sentiments?" Tan Yuan turned the jade ring on his finger, "I wonder where Miss Tan got the idea from?"

Tan Wuning pointed at Shen Weicang's sleeve:

"Isn't it? That day she brought the black snake you sent and almost bit me. Today she turned the tables and falsely accused me of poisoning her. Aren't you protecting her and giving false testimony for her?"

As she spoke, she looked at Xie Wanheng and bit her lip: "I'll ask you one last time, Xie Wanheng, do you believe her or me?"
