Wen Xinya looked at Xia Ruya. Even when Ning Shuqian's pretending to be pregnant was exposed on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, when she faced the questioning of the Wen family, and when she had completely settled her grudge with the Wen family, Xia Ruya had never been so embarrassed.
Xia Ruya is like a glutton who is never satisfied. She is greedy and has insatiable desires. She never knows what she wants, but she wants everything. Therefore... her greed can never be satisfied and is endless.
Xia Ruya has a very serious princess syndrome. She thinks she is a favored child of heaven and that everyone should revolve around her. She thinks she is better than anyone else, so she manipulates and calculates people's hearts at will. At the same time, she is also very self-righteous. She thinks that no matter what she does, it is right and others are always wrong. She also has an extremely serious psychological distortion. She always feels that everyone in the world owes her and is sorry for her. She will do everything she can to get what she wants.
She always thought about herself and never considered any issue from other people's perspective.
Wen Xinya turned her eyes away calmly, walked slowly into the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and stood in front of the owner of Boya Pavilion: "Madam, I am honored to be invited to attend today's banquet. However, such a thing happened at the banquet hosted by Madam, and I was innocently involved. I hope Madam can give me an explanation."
Regardless of whether the owner of Boya Xuan was involved in Xia Ruya's poisoning, she would not let this matter go today. After all, the owner of Boya Xuan was the organizer of the Qianjin Banquet. No matter what happened at the Qianjin Banquet, she could not escape the connection.
What's more, it involves poisoning.
The tea and pastries were provided by Boya Xuan. Xia Ruya was able to poison the food openly. Even if the owner of Boya Xuan was not involved, she would not believe that she was unaware of it.
If one knows something is going on but does not stop it, even if he has not done anything to harm others, he has already developed the intention to harm others.
The owner of Boyaxuan did not expect Wen Xinya to attack in public. Her masked face showed no emotion, but her aura was unreasonably majestic: "Miss Wen, what do you mean by this? Are you accusing me of an offence? May I ask what position you are standing on to accuse me of an offence?"
As the owner of Boya Xuan, she has her own pride and dignity, and she is also the elder. She did not take Wen Xinya's attack seriously. If she could not even handle a mere yellow-haired girl who was still wet behind the ears, she would have lived in vain.
At today's banquet, the real victim was Lin Yingxin. She did not make trouble on the spot and held her accountable. So what was Wen Xinya's position
Wen Xinya smiled faintly. Facing the master of Boya Pavilion, who had a long and steady majesty, she said calmly, "Madam, you are too serious. I dare not ask you for an explanation. But Xinya has something to say to you in person."
The owner of Boyaxuan looked at Wen Xinya sharply: "Excuse me!"
Wen Xinya raised her voice and asked, "Excuse me, Madam. Boya Xuan is the organizer of the Qianjin Banquet, and Madam is the owner of Boya Xuan. What happened at the Qianjin Banquet today? Whether it's Madam, Boya Xuan, or the Qianjin Banquet, are they related?"
The owner of Boyaxuan did not expect that Wen Xinya would use her words to control him from the beginning: "Boyaxuan naturally has its own responsibilities. Miss Wen does not need to remind me of this."
Wen Xinya looked around at all the young ladies who came to attend the Qianjin Banquet: "Madam, the Qianjin Banquet is for the exchange of skills, and it is a grand event that has been held in the capital for many years. The young ladies present were invited to come here because of Madam, Boya Pavilion, and the reputation of the Qianjin Banquet. Now, at the Qianjin Banquet hosted by Madam, someone was poisoned. Such a secretive thing happened. How can Madam let us feel?"
"Madam, you were careless in managing the Qianjin Banquet. It's your fault, it's Boyaxuan's fault, and it's the Qianjin Banquet's fault. Madam, should you give an explanation to all the young ladies present at the Qianjin Banquet? Why can't I ask for an explanation from you? I just wanted to ask for an explanation, but in your eyes, it was like you were accusing me of something, which really scared Xinya."
The owner of Boyaxuan had never been questioned in such a way in his life, and he could not help but get angry: "Miss Wen is right. Both Boyaxuan and I are responsible for what happened today, but Miss Wen is being too serious! Regarding the poisoning, how can we make a conclusion based on just a few words from you? We still need evidence to find out the truth of the matter."
Lin Yingxin said those words while she was in a state of madness, and Xia Ruya never admitted that she had poisoned him from beginning to end.
The smile on Wen Xinya's face gradually froze into frost: "Madam, are you asking me for evidence? Then I will have a good talk with you."
The owner of Boyaxuan thought of Wen Xinya's momentum when she poured red wine on Xia Ruya, and knew that she was not someone who could be easily fooled. He quickly said, "Miss Wen has misunderstood. What I mean is that no matter whether it is Lin Yingxin's accusation or Xia Ruya's poisoning, or even you, Miss Wen, who was innocently implicated, or all the ladies present at the Qianjin Banquet, Boyaxuan should give everyone an explanation."
The owner of Boya Xuan has been immersed in the upper-class social circles of the capital for a long time. She is naturally very experienced in both scheming and means. Her words are extremely powerful.
Wen Xinya nodded: "Madam, what you said makes sense!"
The owner of Boya Pavilion continued, "It's just that this incident happened at the Qianjin Banquet hosted by Boya Pavilion. Boya Pavilion has the responsibility to find out the truth. We can't let this incident tarnish the reputation of Boya Pavilion and the reputation of the Qianjin Banquet. Otherwise, who will dare to attend the Qianjin Banquet in the future? Will the Qianjin Banquet, which has been held for many years, be held?"
The owner of Boyaxuan's words were high-sounding and sanctimonious, which immediately turned the situation around. What she said did make sense. Boyaxuan really shouldn't have taken on all the responsibility without knowing the reason.
Wen Xinya nodded, agreeing with her words: "Madam is right, but I don't believe you."
The owner of Boyaxuan was stunned and could not help but get angry: "Miss Wen, what do you mean?"
Wen Xinya and the owner of Boyaxuan looked at each other and exchanged veiled words: "Lin Yingxin once said that Madam and Miss Xia knew each other and had a close relationship. Madam and Miss Xia did not refute this statement, which shows that Lin Yingxin is telling the truth. How can Madam assure everyone that she will not be biased in this matter?"
When Wen Xinya said this, there was an uproar in the room. It was obvious that after Wen Xinya mentioned it, everyone thought of this matter.
The owner of Boyaxuan was furious: "Miss Wen, I do know Miss Xia, but..."
Wen Xinya's eyes swept across the ladies below and interrupted the owner of Boyaxuan: "I believe that it is not only me who has such doubts. I believe that all the ladies present here have such doubts as well."
