Chapter 279 - 111 Mute Granny_2
Tonger moved quietly to pour tea for Jiang Li. Jiang Li, deeply engrossed in thought, didn’t notice the tea near her hand. When she reached out to stifle a wave of nausea, the teacup clattered to the ground, and the scalding hot tea splashed all over Jiang Li’s arm.
"Oh no!" Tonger exclaimed in shock and hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe Jiang Li, while wiping she said, "Miss, are you alright? Bai Xue, bring some burn ointment quick!"
Bai Xue hurried off, and Ye Mingyu, hearing the commotion, quickly came over and asked, "What happened? What’s going on?"
Tonger was so filled with self-reproach that tears were about to fall as she said, "It’s all this servant’s fault. I spilled the tea and scalded the miss. I hope it doesn’t leave a scar. What should we do..."
"Jiang Li, are you alright? Does it hurt?" Ye Mingyu turned to look at Jiang Li, only to see her sitting there in a daze, gazing at the shattered teacup on the floor.
Ye Mingyu initially thought Jiang Li was stupefied from the pain and quickly stepped forward, waving his hand in front of her face. "Jiang Li? Jiang Li?"
Jiang Li, still in a daze, directed her gaze towards him, as if she’d just come to her senses. However, she immediately stood up and said excitedly, "I know, I’ve got it!"
"Know what?" Ye Mingyu was puzzled, and so was Tonger.
"According to Northern Yan’s laws, with conclusive human and material evidence, one can accuse local officials at a higher court. But the higher court is Tong Zhiyang, who may not be willing to help. I’ve thought it through, and the only way is to bring this case to Yanjing City, and let Dali Temple reexamine it. But the case I want to investigate is not the Xue Family’s, but Feng Yutang’s. As long as Feng Yutang is involved in this case himself, he can no longer interfere with it. Evidence handled by Feng Yutang becomes invalid!"
