" Oh my gosh! That girl has to be the evilest girl I have seen in my life, I swear! For wealth, she was willing to hurt the one woman who helped her out of the predicament she was suffering in?"
" And she did all that while she is just a sixteen year old, she is at such a tender age yet she was actually planning to kill her grandmother… pei , pei what am I even saying …there is no way Old madam Shen is her grandmother if she was there was no way that girl would have agreed to kill her so easily, will she?"
" How can someone at such a young age be this evil? And that too when the person she was planning to kill was the one who saved her from the darkest hours of her life? If she wasn't caught today, who knows what she might have done later on? Maybe she might have grown up to someone even more dangerous, who knows ——if her greed wouldn't have been satiated after snatching the riches of the Old madam Shen, she might have hurt the rest of the Shen family too, you never know."
" I really couldn't tell that such a weak-looking girl has such a cheap heart! God, if I was at the place of the Old madam Shen, I would have hit her until she died!"
" She really knows how to act, just a few minutes ago.. she acted like she was dying and being wronged but now that the truth is out, she has gone paler than a ghost. Good for her, now that her truth is out, Old madam Shen will realise just how ruthless the girl is, she not only cheated Old madam Shen but she also poisoned her! Its Old madam Shen's greatest virtue that her sons are not as easily fooled as her or else she would have lost her life without even knowing who killed her."
" The Ji family are sure ruthless."
Shen Junxi pointed at Ji Shan and said, " You see mother, this is the good granddaughter that you found. You have been treating her like she was some rare treasure just because she looks like Shui Shui.. did you really think that just because she has the same face as our sister, she will have the same virtues as well? Shui Shui was taught by you mother but she was bought up by the Ji family! How can she even compare to our sweet Shui Shui who wouldn't even hurt a fly."
After Old madam Shen heard the comments of the guests including her son's her face turned inexplicably dark, she was already having a hard time given that she was not only poisoned but she was gullible enough to treat those who were planning to kill her like they were her benefactor. She thought that her body was slowly deteriorating after she worked hard for so long, who would have known that she was being fooled like everyone. She wasn't dying …nor was her body slowing down because of her old age, it was these bastards who were killing her!
She was really angry, to think that she wasn't only lied to but she was also poisoned for so long! Her face was so dark that ink seemed to be dripping from it, she couldn't help but quiver with rage thinking that she has been played around like a fool.
The way Old madam Shen was now looking at Ji Shan was no longer filled with warmth and affection, instead, she was looking at the latter with disgust and contempt. Chest heaving, she pointed at Ji Shan and shouted, " You… You white-eyed wolf... I have been raising you like my daughter! I went against my sons to give you a place in this house …How dare you …how dare you trick me like this? Your heart why is it that it's so dark? I must have been blind to have treated you so well, such a heartless girl you are, how can you even bear to kill someone who has been so kind to you? How can you even bring yourself to feed me poison?"
" Did you not feel guilty at all while doing all that to me? How come you were able to sleep at night knowing that you are slowly killing your benefactor? Why did your hands didn't paralyse after doing such a sinful thing?"
Ji Shan's eyes turned red as tears started to fall from her dark eyes as she sniffed and sobbed. " Grandmother, I really didn't want to do this, the Ji family forced me to do it. You know I am just a girl, what can I do when I am being suppressed? They threatened me that if I don't kill you, they will kill me instead and my family was living with them as well. I...I am just a branch family's daughter, how can I fight against them? But believe me, grandma, I did all that because I didn't want to suffer, I wanted to go without suffering for so long, that was why I asked them whether or not I can increase the dosage in your food. I just wanted to save you from the pain that you were going through and nothing more! Believe me, grandma… I really wanted to be your granddaughter, I did not want to do this at all... I was forced, I swear! I never wanted to harm you but I had no choice! That was why I did what I could! I just wanted to be good to you."
As her tears trickled down her cheeks, she knocked her head on the ground and cried. " Grandma, you might blame me for being heartless but I swear, if I didn't increase the dosage of the poison, you would have suffered a lot more than you are right now, I was scared grandma, please forgive me. This once, just this once … I promise to be good to you from now on, I will also listen to you!"
