Early the next morning, Xiao Yu instructed Xiao Jiu to gather everyone in the Dongfang residence into the hall. This hall was very large, enough to accommodate everyone in the Dongfang residence. The servant girls and servants of the Dongfang residence were discussing softly for some reason.

Of course, Assistant Minister Dongfang, Second Mistress Dongfang, and Dongfang Mingyue were already waiting there. Butler Qin Ying stood at the side with a gloomy face. Xiao Yu looked around, but did not see Old Madam Dongfang and the servant girl Dongfang Xunshuang. After waiting for a while, Old Madam Dongfang finally walked in with the help of servant girl Lan 'er. The sound in the hall instantly disappeared, and it was silent. It seemed that Old Madam Dongfang still had her dignity.

After Old Madam Dongfang sat down, she stared at Xiao Yu and asked,"I wonder why Young Master Xiao gathered all of our family here so early in the morning?”

"Yes, Brother Xiao, why did you gather all of us here?”Dongfang Mingyue asked curiously.

"Today, I will tell everyone what happened to Young Master Dongfang.”As soon as Xiao Yu said this, everyone in the hall turned to look at Xiao Yu. Assistant Minister Dongfang hurriedly said,"Young Master Xiao, have you found the results? What happened to my son?”

"Don't panic, Assistant Minister Dongfang. Young Master Dongfang is recovering very well.”Xiao Yu said.

"Although this is a good thing, there's no need to gather all of us here.”Old Madam Dongfang said unhappily.

"Of course there is a need. What I want to say is that Young Master Dongfang is not possessed, but poisoned.”The hall was filled with whispers again.

"Brother Xiao, we all know this.”Dongfang Mingyue pouted and asked in confusion.

"What I want to say today is that the person who poisoned you is among you.”Uh, when Xiao Yu said this, the discussion in the hall became even louder. Assistant Minister Dongfang said angrily,"How dare you! Someone actually poisoned my son. Young Master, tell me, I will definitely bring him to justice and seek justice for my son.”

Old Madam Dongfang was still sitting on the seat of the First Hall Master in a dignified manner. Qin Ying and Second Madam Dongfang could not sit still anymore. Second Madam Dongfang said,""Young Master, you once said that you would cure my son, Ming Zhu.”

"Furen, don't interrupt young master Xiao.”The Dongfang Second Mistress shut her mouth in embarrassment.

"The mastermind behind this is--.”Xiao Yu did not finish speaking. The Dongfang Second Mistress tightly gripped the corner of her clothes and bit her lower lip, as if the secret in her heart was about to be revealed. Everyone in the hall held their breath and stared at Xiao Yu, waiting for him to say the answer. Xiao Yu's eyes finally landed on the old madam Dongfang who was drinking tea and looked very leisurely,"Old madam Dongfang, you…"”

The Dongfang couple was stunned, and the hall instantly exploded.

Assistant Minister Dongfang said in disbelief,""Young Master Xiao, don't joke around. How could it be my mother?”

Old Madam Dongfang was unmoved. She was indeed an old madam who had experienced great things. Otherwise, she would definitely be very angry at this moment. Old Madam Dongfang smiled and said,""Oh, I want to hear how Young Master Xiao made up this story.”

Dongfang Mingyue's eyes were wide open as she said in surprise,""How can it be Grandma? Grandma loves Brother Mingzhu very much. Brother Xiao, are you mistaken?”

"That's right, young master Xiao, are you mistaken?”Assistant Minister Dongfang added.

"Then, I will reveal the mystery to everyone.”Xiao Yu's face was serious, and everyone looked at Xiao Yu in shock.

"On the way, I met two groups of killers who came to stop me. The first was on the way to Qingzhou. That black-clothed man used Bone Eroding on my horse.”Xiao Yu looked at everyone and said.

"I've heard of it before. It seems to be the Miaojiang Gu Poison.”A servant said.

"That's right, it's the Miaojiang Gu Poison." Xiao Yu said.

"Are you suspecting me now?" Old Madam Dongfang said with a straight face, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Yes, Young Master. Although my mother is from Miaojiang, this can't be evidence that you suspect my mother.”Assistant Minister Dongfang said.

Xiao Yu waved his hand, indicating for them not to be anxious, and then said unhurriedly,"Of course, this can't be used as evidence to suspect this old man Dongfang. But in the Drunken Moon Restaurant, we encountered a second batch of killers. If it wasn't for Little Meng…" Speaking of this, Xiao Yu paused for a moment and mentioned Little Meng again. The red figure floated in his mind again and couldn't be dismissed. Xiao Yu shook his head and continued,"If it wasn't for the red-clothed shadow killing Meng Xiuming, I would have died long ago. The two Sona Maidens who tried to assassinate me told me that the person who instructed them to assassinate me was Butler Qin.”

Hearing this, Butler Qin hurriedly knelt at Assistant Minister Dongfang's feet and said in a panic,""Your Excellency, this lowly one has been wronged. This lowly one did not send anyone to pursue and kill Young Master Xiao.”

" What?!" Assistant Minister Dongfang was furious." You actually sent people to kill Young Master Xiao? What are your intentions?"”

"Milord, now is not the time to blame him.”Xiao Yu looked at Butler Qin, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and said," I secretly investigated Butler Qin based on this clue and found out..."

"What did you discover?" The Oriental Pearl said.

"I didn't mean to harm Mingzhu." The Second Mistress of the Dongfang Family knelt at the feet of the Dongfang Family's Vice Minister and Old Mistress of the Dongfang Family, crying like a weeping woman.

With the Dongfang Second Mistress's words, Xiao Yu did not have to say how to describe the Dongfang Second Mistress 'good housekeeper, Qin Yingran. Dongfang Mingyue could not afford to lose this face, Dongfang Assistant Minister could not afford to lose it, and the entire Dongfang residence could not afford to lose it.

Assistant Minister Dongfang was furious. He slammed the table and stood up, saying,"You, it's actually you. Why did you want to harm Ming Zhu? He is my only son, the only descendant of the Dongfang family.”

"I hate you. I hate First Madam. I hate Mingzhu. I raised Mingzhu for fifteen years. I waited for you to let me be the first wife for fifteen years, but you never let me be the first wife. So, I want to take revenge on Murong Ying. I want her son to have no peace.”The Dongfang Second Mistress shouted. Assistant Minister Dongfang kicked the Dongfang Second Mistress away and scolded,""You b * tch, drag her for interrogation."

Everyone in the hall was watching what was happening, and no one said anything.

Dongfang Mingyue quickly went to support the Dongfang Second Mistress and cried,""Father, please don't throw mother into prison on account of the fact that mother has accompanied you for 20 years.”

"She has already harmed Ming Zhu to such a state. How can I let her off?”Assistant Minister Dongfang said angrily.

"I accompanied you for 20 years, I helped you raise the bright moon and pearl. How am I inferior to Murong Ying? She has been dead for so many years, why are you still unable to forget her, but I have to live in Murong Ying's shadow. I will never be able to be the first wife.”The Dongfang Second Mistress said through gritted teeth.

"You petty woman, how can you compare to Ying 'er? You're really vicious to attack your own son.”Assistant Minister Dongfang said.

Xiao Yu looked at this scene. It was already within his expectations. The quiet scene instantly turned into a tragedy.

"Pull him away." Assistant Minister Dongfang said to the guards who had come.

"Wait." Xiao Yu said.

"Could it be that Young Master Xiao wants to plead for this slut?”Assistant Minister Dongfang asked.

"Milord, she is your family after all, Mingyue's mother. Even if you don't take this into account, please let me finish.”Xiao Yu said.

Dongfang Mingyue hugged the Dongfang Second Mistress, who was crying and trembling, and squatted on the ground, listening to Xiao Yu.

" Because the two Sona Maidens told me that it was Butler Qin who stopped me. I once suspected that Qin Ying poisoned Young Master Dongfang because he coveted the Dongfang family's wealth. Later, I found that Second Madam's behavior was strange. Of course, I suspected Second Madam again, but I found that Second Madam had a reason, but she didn't do it. Moreover, she didn't know anything about the poison in Young Master Dongfang.”Xiao Yu said.

"Don't say anymore, don't say anymore. I poisoned Young Master. I was lustful. I adored Second Madam, but Young Master knew about us. In order to protect Madam's reputation, I had no choice but to poison Young Master so that he wouldn't say anything.”Qin Ying knelt on the ground and shouted.

"You two adulterers really deserve to die. You actually did such a shameful thing and even harmed my son Mingzhu.”Assistant Minister Dongfang was clearly furious to the extreme, his entire person trembling with anger.

Xiao Yu shook his head and asked,"What poison did Young Master Ming Zhu have?"”

" This, this…" Qin Ying stuttered.

"It's the Heart Devouring Worm. You don't even know this. You didn't poison it.”Xiao Yu said.

"Then it must be this b * tch who poisoned him. In order to protect this b * tch, Qin Ying agreed to be the murderer.”Dongfang Mingyue was still hugging Second Mistress Dongfang. Her pitiful look could no longer win back the sympathy of Assistant Minister Dongfang.

"It's not Second Madam. Second Madam loves Young Master Mingzhu very much. Although she hates him, she has never wanted to harm him. I think Second Madam still has someone she wants to protect.”Xiao Yu glanced at the trembling Dongfang Second Mistress and Qin Ying, and everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Yu.

"And the person Second Madam wants to protect is you, Old Madam Dongfang.”Xiao Yu said. Old Madam Dongfang's hand trembled and the teacup fell onto the table.

"What does she have to protect me? She is a shameless woman.”Old Madam Dongfang said.

"Although on the surface, your relationship isn't very good and you're mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, in fact, you're mother and daughter.”As soon as he said this, the hall was filled with chatter again.

"Ridiculous." Assistant Minister Dongfang said," Young Master Xiao, what is going on?”

"I asked Xiao Jiu to find out a story, so I'll tell it to everyone. Forty years ago, Master Dongfang brought back a beauty from Miaojiang and took her as his concubine. However, that beauty was already engaged to him, and she was childhood sweethearts with his lover. It could also be said that Master Dongfang snatched this beauty, not married her. Later, this beauty gradually accepted Master Dongfang because he treated her very well and gave birth to his children. Unfortunately, Master Dongfang's wife could not stand the fact that this concubine did not have any children of her own, so she inherited the concubine's son and raised him under her name. This beauty thought that as long as her son was still alive, it would be fine. Although she was very sad, she still agreed. It could be said that she was forced to do so. Later, this son actually died. Not long after, the eldest son of the Dongfang family also gave birth to a son, which is the Dongfang assistant minister.”Xiao Yu said.

"We all know this, so what does it have to do with this matter?”Assistant Minister Dongfang asked.

" Not long after the first wife gave birth to her son, he passed away due to an incurable disease. Therefore, this son became Old Madam Dongfang's son. Master Dongfang was indeed very good to Old Madam Dongfang. Old Madam Dongfang also walked out of the pain of losing her son and treated you like her own son. However, later on, Old Madam Dongfang discovered that Master Dongfang did not love her as much as she thought. Instead, he ordered the execution of her relatives and clansmen. This killing infuriated Old Madam Dongfang. She had given birth to a daughter with someone else behind Dongfang Lao's back, and she was the Dongfang Second Madam.”Xiao Yu narrated this matter tirelessly.

" Hmph!" Old Madam Dongfang snorted coldly." Even so, what does that prove?”

"After Master Dongfang passed away, you began to take revenge on the Dongfang family. You wanted to avenge your family and make the Dongfang family pay with blood.”Xiao Yu said calmly.

"Mother, is this true?" Assistant Minister Dongfang asked.

"That's right. Shao Hua is indeed my biological daughter. Does that mean that I poisoned Mingzhu?”Old Madam Dongfang still refused to admit it.

" In order to prevent others from suspecting you, you deliberately set up the scene of the Second Madam and Butler Qin catching you in bed, making us turn our attention to Butler Qin and the Second Madam. Butler Qin had something on Young Master Mingzhu, so he wanted to harm Young Master Mingzhu. This is of course reasonable. The Second Madam was unwilling and wanted revenge, so he wanted to harm Young Master Mingzhu. This is reasonable, but not everyone in Miaojiang knows how to use the gu poison. Second Madam tried her best to hide that Butler Qin was just a puppet. However, Old Madam Dongfang, how could you forget that only you could get close to Young Master Mingzhu? Everyone said that Young Master Mingzhu was possessed, and I didn't say anything, but you said that Young Master Mingzhu was poisoned. This made me suspect you. Of course, the doctors of the Central Plains were helpless against the Gu poison in the Miao territory.”Xiao Yu said so much in one breath, and the people in the hall seemed to understand. Old Madam Dongfang finally couldn't sit still and said,"That's right, Young Master Mingyue, I really underestimated you. I really shouldn't have let you treat Ming Zhu. Otherwise, he would have died long ago.”

"Mother, why are you doing this?”Assistant Minister Dongfang said with heartache when he saw that Old Madam Dongfang had admitted it.

" This is what the Dongfang family owes me. It's what Dongfang Mu owes me. I abandoned my engaged husband for him. I thought he was really good to me. I didn't expect that he only treated me as a substitute for another woman and killed my husband and my clansmen. This is a blood debt. I'll make Dongfang Mu die with his eyes wide open and make the Dongfang family have no descendants.”Old Madam Dongfang said hatefully.

"Grandma, is this true? Do you really want me to die?”Dongfang Mingzhu looked sickly. Her face was pale and haggard, and her eyes were sunken. She was supported by Dongfang Xunshuang from outside the door and sat down on a chair at the side.

"That's right. I want everyone in the Dongfang family to die so that I can vent my hatred.”Old Madam Dongfang said.

"Grandma, Grandma, this must not be your intention, right? You used to take care of me in every way and never let me suffer any grievances. You even told me stories about Miaojiang and made pastries for me. I can't forget these.”Oriental Pearl said with tears in her eyes.

"Don't say anymore, don't say anymore." Old Madam Dongfang covered her ears and shouted.

"Grandma, you didn't mean for all of this to happen, right? You must still love us, right? Look, this is the peace sachet you made for Mingyue and me.”Oriental Pearl took out a sachet from her neck with great effort. Every single needle and thread was so delicate.

"Grandma, where's the grandma who loves me?”The Oriental Pearl said weakly. Tears dripped down his sickly face onto the cold ground." Return that loving grandmother to me."”

"No, no, she's dead, she's dead.”Dongfang Mingyue and the Dongfang Second Mistress threw themselves at Old Madam Dongfang's feet and shouted," Mother! Grandma!"

"Don't come over." Old Madam Dongfang took out a knife and pointed it at the crowd like a madman.

Oriental Pearl did not care about his own health. He fell down from his chair and pushed away Dongfang Xunshuang who came to help him. He crawled toward Old Madam Dongfang and shouted,"Grandma, don't. Grandma, don't. Mingzhu doesn't want to lose you.”

"Mingzhu, don't go over.”

The Oriental Pearl Tower did not listen to Assistant Minister Dongfang. As she cried, she crawled toward Old Madam Dongfang and hugged her skirt."Grandma, don't be like this. We'll be heartbroken, Grandma.”

Old Madam Dongfang bent down, and Assistant Minister Dongfang shouted,""Mother, don't hurt Mingzhu. She's called you grandma for twenty years.”

Tears rolled down Old Madam Dongfang's face. The heat disappeared in the cold air, and they became icy cold as they dripped onto Dongfang Mingzhu's face. Old Madam Dongfang sneered and stabbed the knife into her chest amidst the crowd's exclamations. Blood gushed out, and her body fell limply. Dongfang Mingzhu hugged Old Madam Dongfang's body and cried out in grief,""Grandma, Grandma."

Assistant Minister Dongfang, Dongfang Mingyue, and the Dongfang Second Mistress also crawled over and shouted,""Mother, mother." "Grandma."

Old Madam Dongfang stared blankly at the sky and muttered,""Old Master, Old Master, you're here to pick me up.”

Old Madam Dongfang held the Oriental Pearl's hand tightly, her eyes becoming more and more unfocused. As the last tear fell, Old Madam Dongfang's outstretched hand also dropped.

Xiao Yu was silent in the hall, and the Dongfang family was crying.

Old Madam Dongfang hated Old Master Dongfang to the bone, and she also loved him to the bone. Her love gave birth to hatred, and in the end, she went to the place where Old Master Dongfang was waiting for her with a heart full of helplessness.

Oriental Pearl slowly opened her palm. In her bloodstained hand lay a clear pill-the antidote to the Heart Devouring Worm.
