"Even so, this does not prove that the person who poisoned is Xiao Wen. Is it wrong to think about making food for the Old Master?" Li Taishan’s face was sowhat pale, but he still stubbornly defended his wife and child.
An Yiqing felt a bit more respect for this otherwise unremarkable man at this mont, the fact that he could still protect his wife in such a situation counts as being a man.
"That’s indeed not considered evidence, but how about this?"
An Yiqing walked into the dining room and ca out holding a tray with three soup bowls engraved with silver filant cloud patterns.
"These three bowls are the ones used by the two Mr. Lis and the Second Lady. Tonight’s soup was altered at the last mont. I’ve added a condint in it. This condint is harmless to the human body but will chemically react with the poison in the Old Master. Second Lady, your thod is indeed ticulous, but it’s not without flaws. Maybe you didn’t know, this toxin is extrely penetrating. As long as you’ve touched it, you’ve been sowhat contaminated with it over the years. Although you wash your hands clean afterwards, chemicals are not so easily washed off. Your body already contains trace amounts of poison, and when your skin touches this bowl of soup, the color of the soup will change within half an hour."
With that, she placed the tray on the table. In the three soup bowls of Li Taishan’s family of three, one bowl of crystal-clear soup had already turned a deep pink, while the other two bowls were a pale pink.
"Your body holds traces of poison, your son and husband live with you every day, using the sa cup or dish frequently. Over the years, they’ve been indirectly corroded by this poison. Second Lady, is there anything else you want to say?"
Every ti An Yiqing spoke, Zhang Wen’s face turned a shade whiter. In the end, her legs gave way and she nearly collapsed to the floor.
Li Sixing, who had remained silent with his head down, suddenly reached out to support her, his tone inexplicable, "Mom..."
Zhang Wen’s face was as white as snow, her soul seed to be extracted from her body. The look from her husband was very unfamiliar, incomprehension, confusion, heartbreak, loathing...
"...Why...?" Li Taishan seed to age ten years in an instant, "That was my father! Why would you harm him?"
Others also looked over, waiting for Zhang Wen’s answer. An Yiqing sighed deeply and exchanged a complex glance with Li Yufei.
Zhang Wen’s body swayed, exposing a bleak cold smile.
"Why? I also want to know why." She scanned everyone with various expressions mournfully, "Sixing was autistic from a young age, not fond of interacting with others. The Old Master disregarded the bond between grandfather and grandson, abandoning him when he was young. I originally thought, at least the Old Master would give him a chance to compete for heirship after Sixing grew up. But all hope was destroyed that year!"
Zhang Wen suddenly pointed at Li Yufei, her eyes filled with resentnt, "It’s him! During his coming-of-age ceremony, the Old Master implied that he was the heir! He deprived Sixing of everything! If it weren’t for him, Sixing wouldn’t have been abandoned by the Old Master!"
Li Yufei’s thin lips pressed into a straight line, "Since Second Aunt hates so much, why didn’t you poison ? Instead, you chose Grandpa."
Zhang Wen sneered, "Why should I poison you? If you died, it would all be over. How could I let you die so comfortably? I want you to live, to live without any rights under Sixing’s shadow! Let you watch as the brother you always looked down upon tramples over your head! As soon as that old man dies, the Li Family will be thrown into chaos! I will help Sixing reclaim everything that belongs to him!"
Li Taishan looked at the woman before him in disbelief, is this still his gentle and virtuous wife?
"Xiao Wen... When did you beco like this?..."
"You still have the nerve to speak!" Zhang Wen glared at Li Taishan venomously, the detestation in her eyes stung him, "I’ve been a Zhang Family’s daughter since I was young, exceptional in everything! If it weren’t for you getting drunk and forcibly taking , why would I marry you, the perpetual number two! It’s you, you ruined everything for ! All these years, I’ve been playing the dutiful wife, hoping one day you’ll make sothing of yourself! But what about you? Born as the Second Young Master of the Li Family, yet only managed a deputy manager position! What use is it for to be married to you?! You can’t even ensure your son’s status!"
Li Taishan was dealt a huge blow, retreating a few steps in disbelief. It turns out his wife viewed him this way! Getting drunk and taking her by force? Ha, wasn’t it her who poured him the drink? Eternal number two? It turns out in her heart, he, the Second Young Master of the Li Family, was just a useless waste!
In an instant, Li Taishan felt that everything over the years was a facade. Today, all illusions shattered!
His vision blackened, Li Taishan suddenly fell backward. Li Yufei reacted swiftly, darted forward, and caught him.
"Second Aunt, Second Uncle has treated you well; whenever you wanted sothing, he would try everything to get it for you. The Li Family’s Second Young Master, how many won want to marry but never succeed? Why do you dean Second Uncle like this? Has he not been devoted enough to you and Sixing all these years? After you gave birth to Sixing, your body was hard, making you unable to conceive. How many people advised him to find soone else to have a normal child, but he cursed those who advised him vehently. Didn’t you see how he protected you? As for Grandpa, although he didn’t let Sixing beco the heir of the Li Family, as for the property that should have been given to Sixing, not a cent was kept from you. Just for an heir’s title, you disregarded your husband who loved you for many years, and poisoned his father, don’t you have any humanity? How do you expect Sixing to conduct himself in the Li Family in the future?!"
This was the first ti An Yiqing heard Li Yufei speak so much. She knew this man was truly angry.
Zhang Wen glared at Li Yufei venomously with a cold smile, "You’re the heir, of course, it’s easy for you to talk standing up. Li Taishan took by force, it’s only right for him to be good to ! I gave him a son, he naturally should be at my beck and call! I can’t have any more children, I did it for the Li Family’s continuation, your Li Family owes ! Why can’t Sixing be the heir? It’s obvious you all look down upon him!"
"Isn’t the one who truly looks down on Li Sixing you?" An Yiqing suddenly spoke softly.
Zhang Wen froze, then scread hysterically, "What are you saying?! You know nothing, on what grounds are you saying this?!"
"I admittedly don’t know anything, but Ms. Zhang, what do you know?"
