As the saying goes,"It is difficult for an upright official to resolve family matters." With such a thing happening in the Dongfang residence, Xiao Yu could not intervene, so he could only return to his room.
There was a hurried knock on the door. The person outside shouted,"Brother Xiao, are you there? Come out quickly.”
Xiao Yu could tell that it was Dongfang Mingyue. Her voice was choked with sobs and was full of urgency. She did not seem to be here to cause trouble. Xiao Yu opened the door. As expected, Dongfang Mingyue was crying with red eyes. When she saw Xiao Yu walk out, she pulled Xiao Yu's sleeve and said,"Brother Xiao, my mother was wronged. I believe my mother is innocent. Can you help me clear my mother's name?”
Xiao Yu was in a difficult position. This kind of thing was caught by Old Madam Dongfang on the spot, but Dongfang Mingyue said that her mother was wronged. Xiao Yu comforted her,"Mingyue, I can understand how you feel, but it's really not appropriate for me to get involved in this kind of thing. After all, it's your family matter.”
Dongfang Mingyue's emotions were very unstable. She said,""Brother Xiao, listen to me. My mother must have been drugged. Someone must want to harm my mother.”The more Dongfang Mingyue spoke, the more excited she became. Her entire body was trembling.
"How do you know that the Dongfang Second Furen was drugged?" Xiao Yu asked.”
Dongfang Mingyue pulled Xiao Yu and ran forward without any explanation. Xiao Yu shouted,"Mingyue, where are we going?“
"Come with me to see my mother and see how she is," Dongfang Mingyue said.”
Xiao Yu was dragged along by Dongfang Mingyue and ran all the way. Finally, he stopped in front of the Second Dongfang Mistress 'boudoir. Dongfang Mingyue pushed the door open and walked in. The Second Dongfang Mistress was lying on the ground crying in her disheveled clothes. Dongfang Mingyue hugged the Second Dongfang Mistress and said,"Mother, I've found Brother Xiao. He will definitely prove your innocence.”
The Dongfang Second Mistress raised her head and saw Xiao Yu standing at the door. She stumbled over and said,"Young Master Mingyue, Young Master Mingyue, please believe me. I really have nothing to do with Qin Ying. I really didn't do anything wrong to Old Master. I'm innocent, I'm innocent.”
The Dongfang Second Mistress seemed to be a little delirious. Xiao Yu said,"Dongfang Second Furen, don't worry. If you were really wronged, Xiao Yu will definitely find the real murderer and clear your name.”"Miss Dongfang, please help Second Mistress Dongfang to sit down."”
The two sat down, and Xiao Yu asked,"I hope Furen can tell me what happened.”
The Dongfang Second Mistress recalled what happened yesterday in a daze.""After dinner last night, I went back to my room to rest. I just felt unwell, so I asked my red shadow to make me a cup of calming tea. Then, then, I don't know how things turned out like this.”
The Second Mistress of the Dongfang Family could not control her emotions and cried again. Dongfang Mingyue said,""Mother, don't cry."
Xiao Yu was puzzled. Last night, the Dongfang Second Mistress drank the Soul Pacifying Tea. Could it be that there was something wrong with the tea?
In order to prove his doubts, Xiao Yu said,"Dongfang Second Mistress, please let me take your pulse.”
The Dongfang Second Mistress obediently stretched out her arm. Xiao Yu lightly touched the Dongfang Second Mistress 'arm, and his eyes narrowed. It turned out that someone had really drugged her.
"How is Brother Xiao?" Dongfang Mingyue asked nervously.”
Xiao Yu said,"The Dongfang Second Furen was drugged."”
As soon as Xiao Yu said this, the Dongfang Second Mistress said very excitedly,"There really is someone, there really is someone who wants to harm me. Who is it? Hong Ying, yes, it was her who sent me the Soul Pacifying Tea.”
"Someone, bring me the red shadow.”Dongfang Mingyue shouted.
Not long after, a little girl was pulled over and cried,"What are you doing? What are you doing?”
The Dongfang Second Mistress grabbed the little girl's clothes and said fiercely,""Tell me, why did you poison me? Why did you poison me?”
The little girl was obviously extremely afraid. She shook her head and said,"It wasn't my wife. It really wasn't me. Madam, I was wronged. I was really wronged. I didn't poison Madam.”
The little girl kowtowed, once, twice. The thumping sound was very heartbreaking.
Dongfang Mingyue pulled the agitated Second Mistress back and said to the little girl on the ground,""Hong Ying, my mother dotes on you very much. Why did you do such a thing to harm my mother?”
The red shadow was still kowtowing, and his head was bleeding. He cried and said,"Miss, Madam, it really wasn't me. It really wasn't me.”
Xiao Yu looked at this scene and said,"Miss, I have a hundred kinds of poison that can make you tell the truth. You'd better tell the truth."”
"It wasn't me, it really wasn't me."”
Threatening him was not an option.
The noise here had disturbed Old Madam Dongfang. She came over aggressively and said to everyone,"You really don't know shame. After such a thing happened, you still want to push all the responsibility to the girl.”
The Dongfang Second Mistress wailed," Mother, I've really been wronged. If you don't believe me, you can ask Young Master Xiao. He knows."”As she spoke, the Dongfang Second Mistress cast a pleading look at Xiao Yu.
"Young Master Xiao, my daughter-in-law said that she was wronged. Is that true?" Old Madam Dongfang asked.”
Xiao Yu replied,"That's right, someone did drug the Second Furen."”
"What medicine?"
"Mandarin Duck Powder."
"What? It's actually the Mandarin Duck Powder?" Old Madam Dongfang was so angry that her entire body was trembling." It's actually the Yuanyang Powder. Could it be that you drugged my daughter-in-law? Why did you do that?"”
The red shadow grabbed the old lady's clothes and said,""Old Madam, it really wasn't me. I don't know what's going on either. You have to believe me. Madam is so good to me.”In the end, she was sobbing.
" Grandma," Dongfang Mingyue said," you saw it too. My mother was wronged. You have to believe my mother."”
" I understand," Old Madam Dongfang said." Come on, drag this little girl out and interrogate her properly. We must find the real culprit."”
"Old Madam, don't. I've been wronged. I've been wronged.”The little girl's cries echoed throughout the room. Suddenly, everyone was shocked and the little girl stopped crying.
Everyone looked over and saw that the little girl's voice had disappeared. Her eyes were unfocused, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Her pale face was devoid of blood, and her lips were faintly purple. In just a moment, she stopped breathing and died.
Xiao Yu went forward to check the little girl's breathing and found that she was not breathing at all. Dongfang Mingyue asked,"Brother Xiao, how is it?"
Xiao Yu shook his head and said,"Dead, poisoned."”
Old Madam Dongfang shouted," He's really possessed! He's possessed! He's been poisoning us one after another! Who's trying to harm our Dongfang family? He must make our Dongfang family restless!"”
Dongfang Mingyue said," Grandma, you saw it too. The murderer has been found. You have to believe that my mother is innocent. Don't blame my mother anymore."”
Old Madam Dongfang glanced at Second Madam Dongfang and said,""Even if the murderer has been found and confessed to the crime, your mother will not be able to get away with it. She will be punished to be confined here. Without my order, she is not allowed to leave this place.”No one dared to refute the majesty that Old Madam Dongfang exuded.
Old Madam Dongfang continued," This matter ends here. Young Master Xiao, thank you. I'll be going back first. It's really unfortunate for my family."”
Xiao Yu returned the greeting, and Old Madam Dongfang left with the help of the servant girl. Dongfang Mingyue comforted Second Madam Dongfang until she fell asleep and covered her with a blanket. Only then did the two of them leave.
"Brother Xiao." Dongfang Mingyue shouted, and Xiao Yu stopped in his tracks." Thank you, thank you so much."”
"No need to thank me." Xiao Yu said,"Actually, I didn't help much."”
Dongfang Mingyue lowered her eyes and said,""It's all thanks to you finding the truth, finding the murderer, and clearing my mother's name. Otherwise, I, I don't know what to do.”
"Alright, stop crying." Xiao Yu comforted her,"Since the matter has been resolved, Miss Dongfang, don't worry too much. You should go back and accompany the Second Madam and comfort her. I think she must be very sad."”
Dongfang Mingyue's watery eyes were red and swollen from crying too much. She looked quite pitiful. Dongfang Mingyue said,""Okay, Brother Xiao, I'll go first."
With that, Dongfang Mingyue turned around and left. Xiao Yu looked at her back and sighed.
After Dongfang Mingyue disappeared, a voice rang out around Xiao Yu again: "Do you really think so?”
Xiao Yu's eyes were focused on the distance, and he said with a hint of sadness,"He's just another scapegoat.”
"Since you know, why didn't you save her?”This was the first time Meng Xiuming mentioned saving someone.
"I'm powerless and can't save him." Meng Xiuming should know Xiao Yu's helplessness.
The two of them instantly quieted down. Xiao Yu looked up and saw Meng Xiuming, dressed in a flamboyant red dress, leaning against the tree, looking into the distance. The side of his face was set off by the sunlight, making him look even more beautiful and clear.
"You should know who it is?" After a long time, Xiao Yu asked.
"Yes."
"Who is it?"
"Dongfang Xunshuang."
This answer was within Xiao Yu's expectations. Xiao Yu didn't show too much surprise, as if inadvertently, Xiao Yu suddenly stared at Meng Xiuming and asked: "If I disappear one day, will you look for me?”
Meng Xiu Ming seemed to have been hit by something, and slowly turned his head. The disbelief in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and his eyes were still cold and indifferent. He stared at Xiao Yu and spat out two words: "I won't."
Xiao Yu still raised his head to look at the sky. The sky was very blue, with white clouds floating in the air. It was very beautiful. Finally, he said,"I hope so. Little Meng."
For the first time, Meng Xiuming saw sadness and helplessness in Xiao Yu's eyes.
