Chapter 369 Confrontation
Ye Qing'an didn't say much to her, but walked up to her in a few steps and knocked the bronze mirror on the table down.
"The poison you gave Liu Xueying last night, was it called the Ultimate Poison?"
Ye Weilan raised her head with a smile and stared intently at Ye Qing'an.
It was probably because of what happened last night that Ye Weilan had completely let loose and no longer pretended in front of Ye Qing'an, her eyes filled with resentment and venom.
"Don't you know? Didn't you take that poison away last night? Didn't you have someone investigate what kind of poison it was?"
"Where's the antidote?"
Ye Weilan laughed: "Antidote? Since I'm planning to kill her, I don't want to leave myself any room to retreat. The poison I used is extremely potent, and... I didn't bring an antidote."
"What's wrong? Why did you bring the antidote? That woman wasn't poisoned, was she?"
Ye Qing'an's gaze turned cold. She simply raised her hand and gripped Ye Weilan's neck: "Feiran has been poisoned. It's this Extreme Poison. Did you administer it?"
"Ye Feiran has been poisoned?" Ye Weilan confronted Ye Qing'an without flinching. "Why are you here looking for me if Ye Feiran has been poisoned? What does it have to do with me? I've been locked up here since last night and haven't left since. Don't even think about trying to throw this mud at me."
"Do you have the antidote? And where did you get this poison?"
Ye Weilan smiled smugly: "There is no antidote. I just bought the poison from a wandering alchemist. I only told him that I wanted the most potent poison, but not the kind that takes effect immediately. Money was no object, and he gave me this."
“I don’t know his name, and I didn’t buy the antidote. After buying the poison, I found a rat to test it on. The rat ate it and, just as I expected, died two or three days later. So, I put the poison away.”
"I originally intended to use this poison on you and your bastard child, but I never expected that the first person to use it would be my mother. It's a pity, though, that it never really came in handy."
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath and suddenly shoved Ye Weilan.
Caught off guard, Ye Weilan heard a loud thud and fell to the ground. However, she wasn't angry after falling; instead, she smiled and looked at Ye Qing'an: "Ye Feiran has been poisoned?"
"That's terrible! Don't you have the antidote?"
Ye Weilan tilted her head: "But don't you have a lover? What? Your Doctor Xu can't save him?"
After Ye Weilan finished speaking, she burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, karma's coming on."
Ye Qing'an had already heard the footsteps outside. She took a deep breath and said, "I've never understood why you're targeting me like this when I haven't done anything wrong. Before, at the Ye residence, you were outwardly friendly with me, but secretly you did a lot of things to trip me up."
“Five years ago, you sent people to harm me, ruin my reputation, and drive me out of the Ye Mansion. Even after I arrived at the manor, you were still not at ease. Under the guise of visiting me, you bribed the people at the manor to keep targeting and harming me.”
"After I returned to the Ye residence, you relentlessly plotted against me and tried to frame me. Why did you do this?"
Ye Weilan scoffed: "Why? Naturally, it's because I hate you. I hate that you're clearly a good-for-nothing, yet just because you're the legitimate daughter and have a mother who is the legal wife, you can easily get what we crave but can't have."
"I hate you, I hate your face, it's so effeminate and disgusting."
“Back when you were still the eldest daughter of the Ye family, every time I saw you and saw you smile, I thought, one day I will tear all your pride to shreds, I will take everything you have away…”
"You see, actually, I've done quite well, haven't I?"
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "Ye Weilan, even a clay figure has some temper. Do you really think that with His Majesty's decree of marriage, no one will dare to do anything to you?"
Ye Qing'an sneered: "Do you know that just based on what you've done, if I wanted to, I could kill you on the spot..."
“I came to ask you for the antidote, hoping to give you a chance to atone for your sins, but you’ve been spouting nonsense without telling the truth. Tell me, where is the antidote? If you don’t tell me, I’ll make you regret it.”
Ye Weilan seemed completely unconcerned, only curling the corner of her lips: "Where is the antidote? How would I know where the antidote is? I've already said, there is no antidote, and this poison was only bought from a wandering alchemist. I don't know who he is."
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, fine. Just be careful not to regret it."
Ye Qing'an turned to leave, but then heard Ye Weilan suddenly laugh: "Hahaha... Regret? Ye Qing'an, let me tell you, the thing I regret most in my life is that I didn't kill you during the years you were at the manor."
"I was too young and ruthless back then, which is why you ended up like this. If I could have another chance, I would definitely kill you long ago..."
Ye Qing'an only gave her a cold look before walking straight out the door.
As soon as Ye Qing'an stepped into the side hall outside the door, she saw the butler standing there with a cold expression on his face.
Upon seeing Ye Qing'an emerge, the butler quickly lowered his head, saying, "Young Miss."
Ye Qing'an paused, seemingly surprised: "Butler, you've arrived? When did you get here? Why didn't you inform me? Has everything been arranged?"
"Everything is arranged." The butler lowered his eyes: "Is the Second Miss unwilling to hand over the antidote?"
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips tightly: "She insisted that she did not have the antidote, saying that she bought the poison randomly from a wandering alchemist and did not know the man's name."
Ye Qing'an remained silent for a while before whispering, "Steward, my second sister has always disliked me. What she said to me may not be entirely true. Why don't you go and ask her again for me?"
Ye Qing'an's voice gradually lowered, becoming slightly hoarse: "Feiran was born with my mother's life on the line, and I don't want anything to happen to Feiran. Even if there's only a sliver of hope, I don't want to give up."
The butler overheard most of the conversation between the two sisters inside. The second young lady's attitude was so bad, yet the eldest young lady was willing to compromise and appease her husband in order to cure the second young master's poison...
The butler couldn't help but let out a long sigh, a sense of calculation forming in his mind.
