On this side, Xu Qingtian pulled out a news article about An Yiqing on her phone: "Xuanjin Yulong founder?! My goodness, you are the creator of Qingyan!" She threw herself at An Yiqing, hugging her leg, "Oh my god! Sister Xiao Qing, can you give a few bottles of the Advanced Level Qingyan? I’ll pay for it! It sells out so fast I can’t get any from the stores!"
An Yiqing looked at Xu Qingtian, who was wrapped around her leg, with a head full of black lines, crying and laughing at the sa ti. Wasn’t this the very definition of... holding on to soone’s leg?
The Li Family mbers were all shocked, completely dumbfounded. Especially Madam Wang, who wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
She actually accused the granddaughter of Commander An of being a fraud! The An Family was indeed of a red-blooded aristocracy, and although the Li Family was wealthy, they were just rchants. But the An Family was at the peak of power!
She just tried to kick out the An Family’s daughter?!
Madam Wang’s face was deathly pale, filled with fear. Just now, even if An Yiqing had killed her, there wouldn’t be any consequences...
The other mbers of the Li Family were not as terrified as Madam Wang, but they were still incredibly shocked, looking at An Yiqing as if she were a monster.
Uncrowned King? Xuanjin Yulong? Heir to the dicine Sect? What kind of brain does this girl have? Is she even a normal person?
However, among these shocked Li Family mbers, there was one person whose heart was filled with deep unease.
Li Yuphei glanced deeply at that person, lowered his head, the reflection from his glasses hiding his expression.
The Li Family gradually snapped out of their shock, sensing that what Li Yuphei was about to say might not be anything good.
"Mom, I need to take my dicine now." At this mont, Li Sixing, who hadn’t spoken a word since arriving at the main residence, suddenly spoke.
Everyone was stunned, turning to look at him.
"Ah? Oh, okay. Mom will take you back right away." Zhang Wen’s face didn’t look good, she turned to Li Yuphei, "Yuphei, Sixing needs his dicine, I really can’t wait any longer. I’ll go back first, let your second uncle stay here."
Before Li Yuphei could reply, Zhang Wen stood up, pulling Li Sixing as she prepared to leave.
"Second aunt, what are you worried about?" Li Yuphei’s voice ca from behind.
Zhang Wen paused her steps, turned around, and looked at Li Yuphei, forced a stiff smile, "I’m worried that your second brother won’t take his dicine on ti, and his condition will worsen."
Li Yuphei looked at her deeply, his gaze heavy, "Second aunt, are you worried that Miss An will find out that grandpa isn’t sick, but poisoned, right?"
"What?! Poisoned?!"
The Li Family mbers’ expressions changed, but Zhang Wen’s face turned white.
"How could the Old Master be poisoned? The doctors said it was organ failure?" Li Jiahao looked at An Yiqing sowhat incredulously, "Did you diagnose this?"
An Yiqing nodded slightly, "The Old Master was indeed poisoned, and it’s been ongoing for five years. However, the symptoms of the poisoning appear as organ failure, which dical instrunts can’t detect."
"Why are you sure it’s second aunt? It could be an outsider, couldn’t it?" Li Jiahao remained unconvinced.
An Yiqing glanced at Zhang Wen, "The poison the Old Master ingested is chronic, requiring administration at least once a week to be effective. Ask yourself, who on Flower Island could get close to the Old Master or his als every week?"
The crowd looked at each other, apart from the Li Family and their maids and servants, there could be no one else.
Everyone turned their doubtful eyes to Zhang Wen.
Zhang Wen’s face went deathly pale, at this mont, Li Taishan stood up from the sofa, walked in front of Zhang Wen and Li Sixing, shielding them.
"Impossible, Xiao Wen has always been gentle and kind, she couldn’t do such a thing. Miss An, you only diagnosed the Old Master as poisoned, what makes you say it was Xiao Wen who did it?"
An Yiqing looked down, Li Yuphei glanced at her, then turned to Li Taishan, "Second uncle, since Miss An says it was second aunt, she must have evidence."
Li Taishan frowned, turned to look at Zhang Wen, "Xiao Wen, it’s not you, is it?" He really couldn’t imagine his always gentle wife doing such a thing.
Zhang Wen’s face was as pale as a sheet, holding Li Sixing’s hand tightly. Beside her, Li Sixing kept his head down, it was unclear if he heard the conversation.
Seeing Zhang Wen in this state, Li Taishan’s heart skipped a beat, sensing sothing was wrong.
"Miss An, what evidence do you have that it was my wife who poisoned him?" he steadied himself, asking.
An Yiqing stood up, under everyone’s gaze, slowly walked to Zhang Wen’s side, quietly looked at her.
"I heard that during every family gathering, the ladies personally cook a few dishes, correct?"
The crowd looked at each other, nodding.
"But, why did the second wife stop participating in this after the Old Master fell ill?" An Yiqing asked again.
Everyone looked puzzled, they weren’t aware of this, but only Madam Wang and Lin Shufen’s expressions changed. Indeed, at each gathering, the three of them would personally make a dish to please the Old Master. However, recently, Zhang Wen used the excuse of a burnt hand to excuse herself from participating.
"First Madam, Third Madam, do you recall when this tradition of cooking for the Old Master started?"
Madam Wang and Lin Shufen exchanged glances and began to recall. After a mont, Lin Shufen slapped her forehead.
"I rember! It was about five years ago, yes, five years ago! That year was when Yuphei ca of age, it started shortly after a coming-of-age banquet!"
Everyone’s expressions changed, the timing matched.
"And Third Madam, do you rember who suggested this idea?" An Yiqing smiled.
Lin Shufen furrowed her brows, looking at Madam Wang, "I rember when I saw Sister-in-law busy in the kitchen, I asked about it. Sister-in-law said she wanted to cook a dish to amuse the Old Master, so I participated as well."
Everyone looked at Madam Wang, her face fell as she pondered deeply.
"I rember hearing Zhang Wen telling Aunt Wu about cooking to amuse the Old Master, yes, that’s where I heard it! Aunt Wu can testify!"
Everyone once again turned their eyes to Aunt Wu.
Aunt Wu’s face went pale, nervously shaking her head, "I-I don’t rember..."
"How can you not rember?" Madam Wang imdiately stood up, glaring at Aunt Wu, "I heard it clearly, Zhang Wen asked you where the soy sauce was, and at the ti, you praised her as a virtuous wife and mother. Oh right! She broke a plate and splashed you! I had a band-aid with , and it was used to stop your bleeding!"
Aunt Wu was stunned, then thought for a mont, "It seems there was such a thing..."
"That’s exactly it! I rember you got splashed on the right forearm!" Saying that, Madam Wang leapt forward, and raised Aunt Wu’s right arm.
Sure enough! There was a scar on the lower right forearm!
At this mont, everyone’s gaze on Zhang Wen changed completely.
