The mysterious milk group, hands on hips, is being fought over by five dads who are going crazy over

Lu Yang knelt on the ground trembling, startled by Huo Ting's imposing presence.

Seeing that the evidence was irrefutable and there was no way to deceive her, she finally said, trembling:

"Reporting to Your Excellency, no one instructed me. I... I have a long-standing grudge against the Old Madam, so..."

Seeing her like this, Huo Ting vaguely guessed who was behind her.

He narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly and glanced at the butler.

To become the steward of the prime minister's residence, one must have exceptional eyesight.

The saying goes, "Family scandals should not be aired in public." This matter concerns Old Madam Huo, and the poisoner is from within the household. Therefore, it is best not to let everyone know about it.

The steward immediately dismissed the maids and servants, telling them to go about their own business.

Once everyone had left, Huo Ting stared at the person kneeling on the ground, his voice chilling:

"Hanyan Powder is extremely rare and expensive on the black market. How could you, a mere servant, possibly have the money to buy such a poison?"

Green Yang's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively lied, "This servant didn't..."

"You audacious servant!" The steward strode forward, pointing a finger at her. "Have you forgotten your parents? Have you forgotten your younger brother who's attending private school?"

"Don't you think about it? If Madam hadn't given you her allowance for the whole year in advance, where would your brother have gotten the money to go to private school?"

"Forget about passing the imperial examinations in the future, they can't even afford to go to school!"

Upon hearing this, Lv Yang suddenly raised her head, her face full of surprise!

She looked at Qiao Wan in disbelief.

But Qiao Wan showed no surprise whatsoever, clearly indicating that she already knew about this!

Green Waves found it hard to accept, her brows furrowing in despair as she stammered, "W-what did you say?"

"The one who gave me the money in advance was... Madam...?"

"Otherwise what?" The butler looked puzzled. "Madam is in charge of managing the household affairs. If Madam doesn't approve, who would dare to give you permission?"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Lv Yang bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes instantly turning bloodshot as she was overwhelmed with endless humiliation, resentment, and regret!

Only when a trickle of blood seeped from her lower lip did she resign herself to her fate and squeeze her eyes shut tightly before saying:

"It's Aunt Su."

"A while ago, Aunt Su came to me and said she had approved some money for me so that my younger brother could go to school. In return, I was required to poison the old lady's food..."

"She gave me the poison, and even instructed me to deliver the food in the name of the madam..."

As she spoke, a tear of regret rolled down her cheek, and after a couple of choked sobs, she continued:

"She said if I didn't do things for her, she would take back the money she had given me in advance and kick me out of the Prime Minister's residence..."

"I wanted my younger brother to pass the imperial examinations and achieve fame, but I didn't want to really harm the old lady, so I didn't dare to use too much poison, only a tiny bit..."

"I thought that such a small amount of poison would be enough to keep the old lady from getting sick, but I never expected that she would remain unconscious for several days!"

Tears and snot streamed down Lü Yang's face, her eyes were bloodshot, and she kowtowed several times, her voice filled with unmistakable remorse.

"Prime Minister! Madam!"

"It was my mistake to trust the wrong person, which almost led to the death of the old lady. I know my sins are grave, and I am willing to atone with my death!"

Huo Ting snorted coldly and ordered the butler, "Take her away and lock her up. We'll deal with her later."

"Now, go find Su Xiaoyin!"

The adults spoke at long, fast paces, and after carefully listening, Ah Ning managed to understand the general meaning.

So, it wasn't enough that the wicked aunt had hurt my mother and grandmother before.

Now they even want to hurt their grandmother!

snort!

Ah Ning stood with her hands on her hips, looking furious.

It seems that the time I dressed up as a ghost to scare her wasn't enough.

It should be even scarier, enough to make her faint!

It scared her so much that she never dared to bully or hurt anyone again!

Seeing that Huo Ting had already walked away, Qiao Wan and Ji Yan were still standing there. A Ning stroked her smooth chin and tilted her head, saying:

"Grandpa Gu is a guest and shouldn't meddle in other people's family affairs, that's why he's staying here, Aning understands!"

"But where is Mother? Why didn't Mother go with that wicked Father?"

Qiao Wan was amused by her, squatted down and pinched her round little face, teasingly saying:

"Our Aning even knows the principle that guests shouldn't interfere in the host's affairs?"

"Then why does Aning think that Mother should go?"

Ah Ning blinked her clear eyes and said matter-of-factly:

"My naughty aunt has done so many bad things. Mother should go and see what's going on, and let my naughty father punish her severely!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a clear and melodious laugh came from above.

Ji Yan's lips curled into a faint smile:

"A-Ning wants to punish her, why don't you let your father give you a push?"

"Push what wave?" Ah Ning blinked, confused. "What does that mean?"

Ji Yan was completely amused and subconsciously reached out to pat her head.

Aning was so engrossed in her thirst for knowledge that she didn't notice him placing his hand on her head...

For a moment, the air fell silent.

Ji Yan and A Ning were both stunned.

The next instant, A-Ning suddenly broke free from his hand, screaming as she hid behind her mother!

"Mother, help! Ahhh—!"

Qiao Wan was completely bewildered by Ji Yan's somewhat awkward and unsure-what-to look.

"What happened?"

But when she turned around and saw Ah Ning's white hair, her gentle, watery eyes widened slightly, filled with surprise.

"What's wrong, Aning...?"

"Waaaaah—"

Xiao Aning's eyes were red as she angrily pointed at the culprit behind her.

"Daddy Gu, you're so mean!"

"Ah Ning told you long ago that you're covered in poison and shouldn't touch me, but you still did!"

"Now look what's happened! Ah Ning's hair has all turned white! Grandma's hair isn't even white yet!"

"..." Ji Yan stared at her white, curly hair that looked like it was on fire, then looked at the hand that had just touched the top of her head...

silent.

at the same time.

Su Xiaoyin ran out of the outhouse for the twenty-seventh time, too lazy to even fasten her belt, and lay down lazily on the couch.

Sometime during the day, the maids who served in the courtyard disappeared; they must have gone off to slack off somewhere.

Su Xiaoyin clutched her cramping abdomen and thought to herself.

Once her diarrhea stops, those few maids who took advantage of her illness to slack off will be severely punished!

Just then, my stomach rumbled twice.

Su Xiaoyin cursed, "Quack doctors! A bunch of quack doctors! I drank every last drop of the medicine! And it didn't work at all!"

Emerging from the outhouse again, taking advantage of the fact that no one else was in the yard, she completely let loose.

Neither his belt nor his coat was fastened.

It was just lazily gathered in front of him.

Through the loose neckline of the inner garment, one could vaguely see a light pink bodice underneath...

"Su Xiaoyin! What kind of behavior is this!"

Su Xiaoyin, clutching her stomach and groggily walking towards the side room, was startled into freezing place by a sudden, sharp shout!

In an instant, she felt her stomach pain subside and her head clear up; the word "terrible" was written all over her body!
