Chapter 442: Uncovered
When Ji Feifei heard Ruby’s voice, she froze. Didn’t she leave with Lin Jian early in the morning? She had chosen this timing because she thought that Ruby was out, and that the matter would have escalated too much by the time she returned.
Even so, she was not going to let it go. She rushed to Ruby who was close to the entrance and landed a slap on her face. "How could you do this? We took you in! Is this how you repay us?!"
Ruby sneered and landed an even more fierce slap right back on Ji Feifei’s face. Before the woman could explode, she slapped her yet again, so hard that the latter almost fell from the impact. How dare she try to frame her?
Luckily, they were prepared for this. They already knew what Ji Feifei was going to do, and it was Xiehan’s idea for her to leave the house the previous afternoon, as well as this morning, to create an alibi for herself.
"How dare you!" Ji Feifei wanted to pounce on Ruby and scratch her face but was held back by Ji Huifen.
"It was her, I swear. She said I had to poison the young master. She paid me." The maid spoke up when she received a glare from Ji Feifei.
"Where’s the money then?" Ruby asked scornfully. The maid had been loyal to the Ji family for ages. For Ruby to be able to bribe her, she must have used a lot of money. That money should still be present, right?
"I used it to pay my son’s hospital bill." She cried. "You threatened to hurt my son if I didn’t do it." The maid had a sickly son, which was why Ji Feifei had chosen her.
Wen Lin found it unbelievable. She didn’t know why she trusted Ruby so much but she asked, "Ruby, is this true?"
The girl shook her head. "No. I don’t know why she would slander me. Besides, why would I ask her to poison Xiehan when he isn’t even here?"
Ji Feifei frowned slightly. Wasn’t it because Xiehan had promised to return the previous evening? The plan was already set, and she didn’t have the chance to secretly tell the maid about the change of plan without being noticed so she decided to go along with it. Things weren’t going exactly as planned.
