Chapter 159: Truth Serum

Ling Yao’s lips curled into a playful smile.

Her gaze calmly fixed on Ji Youran, “Are you sure this jade pendant was broken by me? Or did you intentionally do this to frame me?”

Faced with Ling Yao’s gaze that seemed to see through everything, Ji Youran felt a little uneasy.

She took a deep breath and tried to remain calm, “Of course not! I love this jade pendant so much.

 How could I possibly break it?” However, her tone sounded a little unconvincing.

Wang Yufeng fanned the flames from the sidelines, “Dad, you saw it, right? This country bumpkin is so ill-mannered.

 She deliberately broke the jade pendant to frame our Youran.” As she spoke, she didn’t forget to glare fiercely at Ling Yao.

This jade pendant was a token of love that Old Master Ji had given to his wife. It was very meaningful.

 If it weren’t for the fact that his wife doted on their Youran, it would have been impossible for her to give such a precious jade pendant to their Youran.

Now that the jade pendant was broken, Old Master Ji would definitely be furious.

“Don’t talk nonsense before things are clear. And watch your words.” Ji Yanting coldly glanced at Wang Yufeng, his eyes sharp.

 He absolutely believed his daughter. She wouldn’t stoop to such a low level.

Wang Yufeng shivered and hid behind Ji Yanfeng. She was truly afraid of this younger brother-in-law.

Old Master Ji ignored Wang Yufeng and turned to look at Ling Yao, his sharp eyes fixed on hers,

 “Did you break the jade pendant?” He hadn’t seen clearly who had dropped the jade pendant.

“No!” Ling Yao met Old Master Ji’s gaze with a clear conscience.

Old Master Ji nodded and turned to Ji Youran, asking the same question, “Did you break the jade pendant?”

Ji Youran looked away nervously, “Grandpa! I really didn’t break the jade pendant.

 It was Grandma’s gift to me. I’ve always treasured it. How could I possibly break it?”

Old Master Ji nodded. He already had his answer. Although he hadn’t spent much time with Ling Yao, he believed her more.

 But it was impossible to prove who was right or wrong.

He bent down, carefully picked up the broken jade pendant from the ground, and put it in his pocket with great care.

 This jade pendant held his love and longing for his deceased wife. Now that it was broken, his heart ached.

“I have a way to prove who broke the jade pendant.” Ling Yao said calmly.

Everyone looked at her.

Ling Yao took out two pills and handed them to Ji Youran, “These are truth serum pills. Do you dare to take one?”

Ji Youran sneered inwardly. Truth serum pills? Did she think she was a three-year-old child who would believe such nonsense?

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Ji Youran reached out, took one of the pills, and put it in her mouth, “I’ve taken it. You have to take it too.”

Ling Yao put the remaining pill in her mouth and then looked at Ji Yanting.

Ji Yanting nodded knowingly and turned to Ji Youran, “Did you break the jade pendant? Or did Yaoyao break it?”

“Of course I broke it. I did it on purpose. Even if my things are broken, I won’t give them to anyone else.”

Ji Youran realized what she had said and quickly covered her mouth. How could she blurt out the truth?

Wang Yufeng and Ji Yanfeng were stunned, momentarily forgetting to react.

Old Master Ji’s face was filled with disappointment and anger. He slammed his cane hard on the ground, making a crisp sound,

 “Do you have any respect for your grandmother?

She loved you so much, and you actually broke the jade pendant she gave you!” He was truly disappointed in this granddaughter.

“Who told you to give her the jade pendant? What is she? She’s just a country bumpkin.

 How can she compare to me? I’m the rightful eldest daughter of the Ji family!”

Ji Youran wanted to cover her mouth to stop herself from speaking, but her mouth was completely out of control. She was extremely anxious.

“Youran, shut up!” Seeing that something was wrong, Wang Yufeng quickly pulled Ji Youran to her side and covered her mouth with her hand.

Old Master Ji trembled with anger and shouted loudly, “Someone! Bring me the family law!”

“What right do you have to hit me? Do you think it’s still the feudal society of the past? You can hit whoever you want?

You old geezer, just go die already! After you die, the Ji family will be my father’s. I’ll tell you the truth. My father has already… Woo woo woo…”

 Before Ji Youran could finish speaking, Wang Yufeng quickly stuffed her mouth with her hand, stopping her from continuing.

Cold sweat poured down Ji Yanfeng’s forehead, “Dad, don’t listen to her nonsense. She must be drunk. Take her away.”

Ji Yanfeng shouted at Wang Yufeng. If he let his daughter continue speaking, everything he had schemed for all these years would be ruined.

“Pull her away! Let her continue talking.” Old Master Ji’s face was as dark as a storm cloud. He turned to the butler holding the family law and gave him a look.

The butler nodded and stepped forward to pull Wang Yufeng away.

“Dad, I’ll definitely bring Youran to apologize to you tomorrow. Let her go home first. She’s really drunk.”

 Ji Yanfeng was anxious. He wanted to rush over, but Ji Yanting pulled him back. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t break free.

At this moment, Ling Yao stepped forward, grabbed Ji Yanfeng’s chin, and quickly threw a pill into his mouth.

Ji Yanfeng immediately felt a sense of foreboding. He desperately tried to spit out the pill, but it was too late.

 The pill had already melted into water and slid down his throat,

 “What did you give me?” It couldn’t be truth serum, could it? He had already witnessed the power of truth serum. His daughter was now completely controlled by the pill.

“Truth serum.” Ling Yao gave a playful smile and mischievously raised her eyebrows.

Rather than waiting for Ji Youran to reveal the truth, she might as well let Ji Yanfeng himself tell everything.

“You!” Ji Yanfeng was filled with panic. He wanted to push Ji Yanting away and leave.

But he had been pampered for years and had no strength to compare to Ji Yanting.

“Did you plan my father’s injury?” Ling Yao got straight to the point.

She had suspected that Ji Yanfeng was involved, but he had hidden it so well that she could only find out that the Zhu family was involved.

“Yes, it was me. Why? I’m the eldest son, but he’s better than me. He deserves to die…”

Ji Yanfeng wanted to cover his mouth, but Ji Yanting was holding his hand, preventing him from moving. He was sweating profusely in anxiety.

“I bribed one of his subordinates and deliberately exposed his location. Who knew he was so lucky?

He slept for so many years and could still wake up and walk. And you, you bastard.

 If it weren’t for the old man secretly protecting you all these years, you would have died in the countryside…”
