Xie Xinyao was stunned at first, her mind went blank. When she realized what Qiao Nian said, she immediately reached into her throat, trying to vomit out the contents of her stomach.
She was so panicked that tears and snot were all flowing out. She looked so miserable. There was no trace of the image of the eldest daughter of the Xie family left. She was almost going crazy.
"Qiao Nian, you are crazy."
"Qiao Nian, you..."
Xie Xinyao burst into tears. She didn't even bother to curse and grabbed her mother's legs: "Mom, call a doctor quickly and have him wash my stomach."
Xie's mother was also dumbfounded and rushed to find a doctor in a hurry.
However, Qiao Nian reminded them indifferently at this time: "It's useless to ask a doctor for the poison I gave her. Unless there is an antidote, she will die here today."
Mother Xie seemed to have been hit by acupuncture points and was unable to move for a moment.
Qiao Nian didn't even bother to look at them. The face under the surgical gown that hadn't been taken off was extremely cold and beautiful. Looking at the person who had been paralyzed by fear, he said lightly: "Xie Xinyao, I'll ask you again, who gave you the medicine?"
Xie Xinyao's eyes were blurred by tears. She opened her mouth but didn't say anything.
The girl calmly called her: "I will only give you this one chance, think it over and answer me."
She held a small white pill in her hand, as if she could crush it at any time.
When Xie Xinyao saw the pill in her hand, it seemed as if Qiao Nian was playing with not a pill, but her life.
She had been able to hold on and refuse to admit it under Nan Tianyi's power, but now her momentum was visibly declining.
"Yes... yes... it's Ji Ziyin." Xie Xinyao gritted her teeth and told the truth. After she finished speaking, she felt relieved and even a little resentful. She wished she could see the same fate as her. "She found me and told me that you are my aunt's doctor. My aunt accepted you as her goddaughter because she was grateful for your life-saving grace."
"She took me back that day, and after I got off the car, her driver gave me a small bottle with a pill in it."
"I didn't know what the medicine did at first. Later, when I went to the manor and saw my aunt taking medicine, I realized that the medicine she gave me looked exactly like yours. So I... understood what she meant."
Xie Xinyao admitted that she had poisoned Xie Tingyun in front of everyone in the Xie family's disbelief. Everyone in the Xie family was dumbfounded. Including Old Lady Xie, no one thought that she would dare to poison Xie Tingyun!
The old lady's body swayed and she almost lost her balance.
Father Xie quickly supported her and called out, "Mom."
Old Mrs. Xie seemed to be burned by the word. Her lips moved but she couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Xie Xinyao herself seemed to be in a desperate mood. She looked up and stared at the girl with resentful eyes: "Qiao Nian, I didn't mean to hurt you at first. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being popular. There are people everywhere who don't like you! People like you are too arrogant and don't even know that you have offended people. Even if I don't poison you, there will be people who will find a way to make it difficult for you to survive in Independent Continent..."
"The person you keep talking about is your aunt. Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?" Qiao Nian looked at her with cold eyes.
Xie Xinyao seemed to have been hit on a sore spot. She turned her head away and said angrily, "So what! I never thought Ji Ziyin would give me poison. I thought it was just an ordinary medicine that would only cause vomiting and fainting. Who knew it would be fatal?"
Qiao Nian just looked at her deeply and smiled coldly: "Do you know that only you know clearly?"
