After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

When Liu Meiling's mother-in-law and sister-in-law heard that the tea was a high-end imported product brought back from abroad, their eyes immediately lit up.

"Really? This is something special! We've never tried it before, we definitely have to give it a try!"

Liu Meiling swayed, then suddenly clutched her head, feeling a little dizzy.

But she still forced a smile and said, "Yes! This is good stuff, it's good for your health, drinking it will... will..."

Before she could finish speaking, Liu Meiling's knees buckled, and she collapsed to the ground, her cheeks flushed and her eyes glazed over.

"Oh, Meiling! What's wrong?" Liu Meiling's mother-in-law and sister-in-law were startled and quickly put down their teacups, bending down to help Liu Meiling.

Liu Zhiyuan stood by anxiously, his temples bulging with veins.

"Hey, what are you doing? Don't try to scam me, get up right now!"

Liu Meiling, who was slumped on the ground, slowly turned her head and looked in the direction of Liu Zhiyuan.

After hesitating for a while, it actually obeyed and slowly stood up by itself, supporting itself on the ground.

Although her movements were still a bit unsteady, she was surprisingly obedient and cooperative, without uttering a single complaint, and didn't even reach out to brush the mud off her skirt.

"Alright, alright!"

"If there's nothing else, hurry home and don't delay my important business!"

Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly chased people away, and he couldn't even maintain the most basic courtesy and decorum between neighbors.

Upon seeing this, Liu Meiling's mother-in-law's face immediately darkened, and she said irritably:

"Oh, oh, oh, all I did was drink a cup of your tea, and you're giving me the cold shoulder?"

"A college student? Someone who's seen the world? Pshaw!"

"In my opinion, all those years of studying have been a complete waste!"

"Let's go, let's go, I can't be bothered arguing with him, let's go home!"

"What rubbish! Our own homemade tea with spring water tastes just as good!"

Liu Meiling's mother-in-law cursed and complained, saying that Liu Zhiyuan shouldn't have embarrassed her in front of outsiders, and that this feud was now firmly established.

But the old lady didn't expect that after saying she was going home and taking several steps forward, her daughter-in-law would not follow.

"What's going on? Hurry home!"

Liu Meiling's mother-in-law turned around and was instantly furious.

"Liu Meiling! Did you hear me? Come home right now!"

"Look carefully, which one is your home!"

However, the old lady's words were like a breeze to Liu Meiling now, and she didn't react at all.

Liu Meiling walked into the dark room without saying a word, her movements stiff, like a puppet on a string.

"Mom! Look at my sister-in-law, she seems a bit off..."

Liu Meiling's sister-in-law turned pale with fright and gripped the old lady's arm tightly.

"Mom, could my sister-in-law be possessed by an evil spirit?"

"Look at her now, she looks like she's lost her soul, she can't find her way home!"

Liu Meiling's sister-in-law's words were so shocking that even the family of three who were almost at the edge of the ground couldn't help but exchange a glance and stop in their tracks after hearing them.

Upon hearing this, the old lady panicked for a moment, but quickly recovered, turned around, slapped her youngest daughter, and retorted:

"Pah! Pah! Pah! What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Look at the middle of the day, the sun is blazing high overhead, it's the time when the yang energy is strongest, how could you possibly be possessed by an evil spirit?"

After saying that, the old lady rushed forward and tried to pull Liu Meiling away, saying angrily:

"Wake up! Look carefully! I'm telling you to go home. Is this your home?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Meiling, who was stopped, had a vacant look in her eyes and no expression. She let the old lady pull and shake her without showing any intention of resisting.

The moment the old lady saw that expression, she was truly terrified and quickly let go of his hand.

"Meiling? What's wrong?"

The old woman's voice trembled, "You, you're not trying to scare me!"

"Could it be, could it really be..."

Just then, Liu Zhiyuan, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and said:

"Auntie, Meiling is probably tired. Why don't you take her home to rest for a while?"

"Maybe a good night's sleep will make it better?"

After saying that, Liu Zhiyuan quickly turned to Liu Meiling and urgently gave her an order:

"Hurry up and go home with the old lady, get some sleep!"

Liu Meiling's expression didn't change much, but she moved her head slightly, and then she actually turned around and followed the old lady to go home.

This really caught the old lady off guard, leaving her stunned and muttering to herself:

"Good heavens, can anyone tell me what's going on?"

"Did we encounter something dirty, or did we eat something dirty?"

If you get possessed by something dirty, you can't bring it home like that...

Just then, the younger sister-in-law standing nearby seemed to suddenly wake up, turned her head and pointed to the two cups of tea placed next to her, saying:

"I understand. Is there something wrong with the tea?"

"My sister-in-law was perfectly fine just now, but after drinking that cup of tea, she suddenly started acting strangely!"

As Liu Meiling's sister-in-law spoke, she was about to walk over and pick up the cup of tea, wanting to take a closer look to see if the problem was indeed with the tea!

Then, in the blink of an eye, seeing the situation getting out of control, Liu Zhiyuan rushed over and kicked the other two cups of tea, spilling them.

Two glass teacups were knocked to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

"You're talking complete nonsense!"

"She insisted on drinking that cup of tea herself; I didn't ask her to!"

"Could it be that Liu Meiling herself is ill, and now that she's having an episode, she's trying to pin this tea on me?"

Liu Zhiyuan was so anxious to defend himself that his face turned red with embarrassment.

Lan Yujuan, who was standing not far away, saw the whole story and couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in her heart.

She recalled how Liu Zhiyuan had used every excuse and pretext to force her and Chen Mo to drink that cup of tea.

Now that he was being suspected, he quickly kicked over the teacup.

Even after the two teacups were knocked over and spilled, Liu Zhiyuan's first instinct was to look in the direction where he and Chen Mo were, his face full of guilt.

Each of these unusual occurrences, taken individually, could be an overreaction.

But the whole thing, when connected together, definitely doesn't seem like a coincidence!

"What do you think?" Chen Mo squeezed her hand and asked in a low voice.

Lan Yujuan bit her lip, having made up her mind:

"I also suspect that there's something wrong with the tea."

"The tea that Liu Zhiyuan brought back from Africa may have been dried leaves of some hallucinogenic plant, or it may have contained psychoactive elements."

"Whether it's illness or being drugged, the matter must be thoroughly investigated, and there must be no leniency!"

After listening, Chen Mo understood instantly.

"Okay, leave this to me!"

He then took out his phone and made a call...
