After rebirth, I became the white moonlight of Hunjun
Chapter 237: Finding doubts
Mother Fang was wondering about Lin Wei's change in attitude when she was caught off guard by Lin Zhiyu's question, and her whole body trembled.
"Probably...it was after the eldest lady and Mrs. Xu had a falling out at the dinner table."
Lin Zhiyu touched it carefully. At this time, it happened to be the time when he learned that Zhang Xiuli had lost his wife.
Xu, on the other hand, wanted Zhang Xiuli to officially become Lin Pengsheng's successor.
The biggest obstacle in the middle is Mrs. Lin.
This timing is too coincidental.
"Big girl, please." Cuihong brought the mung bean soup and handed it to Lin Zhiyu and Lin Wei's hands respectively.
Lin Zhiyu took a sip, but found nothing new.
But Lin Wei said: "It is indeed different. Is there something else added? How can it be so refreshing?"
"It's just the difference between the heat and the amount of mung beans." Mother Fang said with a smile, "The only difference is probably adding some honey."
Cuihong handed another small food box to Fang's mother: "I just saw that there is still some left. This is the old lady's share."
"Why is this food box replaced with another one?" Fang's mother was stunned for a moment when she took it.
"Mama Fang, you must have seen it wrong. Don't these food boxes all look the same?" Cuihong handed the food box forward again.
Mother Fang agreed and went to Mu Cangzhai with the food box.
"Brother, you follow Mother Fang, and I'll walk around the small kitchen." Lin Zhiyu lowered his voice and said to Lin Wei.
Lin Wei glared at Cuihong as a warning, then followed Fang's mother and left.
Lin Zhiyu walked to the corner and carefully observed the discarded food box.
"What are you doing!" Cuihong blocked her nervously.
Her reaction made Lin Zhiyu feel that her intuition was right: there was something fishy about this food box!
"I just wanted to take a look, why are you so nervous?" Lin Zhiyu said calmly.
Cuihong Qiqi Ai Ai said: "This food box is dirty, it's better not to touch it, big girl."
"This food box looks really good on the outside, but I'm just curious about what kind of damage it has on the inside."
Lin Zhiyu paused, and his voice suddenly turned eight points colder: "Open it."
Cuihong had no choice but to open the food box as she was told.
When the eldest son came back, why did Lin Zhiyu become as fierce as him?
There were no traces of insect infestation inside the food box, but there were some ants crawling on it.
There are still some remnants of mung bean soup at the bottom.
Lin Zhiyu moved his nose, and there seemed to be a strange aroma surging.
"Okay, cover it."
Those ants were really making people's scalp numb. Lin Zhiyu knew what he was doing, so he stood up and waited for Lin Wei.
Not long after, Lin Wei brought the food box back, and Zhu Hong, who had just returned home, came with him.
"The old lady said that today's mung bean soup tasted wrong, so she didn't drink much."
Zhuhong opened the food box and found that she had only used a few mouthfuls of the mung bean soup inside.
Lin Zhiyu said slowly: "Invite father."
Half a quarter of an hour later, Lin Pengsheng walked slowly over, as if he had aged ten years.
When he saw Zhu Hong, he was obviously stunned for a moment, as if wondering why she was here.
"Father." Lin Zhiyu knelt down and saluted according to the rules.
"Are you embarrassed to call me father?" Lin Pengsheng said in a bad tone. "Now that you have been removed from the list, the Lin family has nothing to do with you!"
Lin Wei defended: "The Prime Minister has been in a high position for a long time. Not only is he unwilling to punish Aunt Zhang, but now he even refuses to recognize his own daughter!"
Lin Pengsheng was unshaven and had just brought Zhang Xiuli back from the Ministry of Punishment.
"If you hadn't been against your Aunt Zhang at every step, she wouldn't be in this situation now." Lin Pengsheng waved his hand and glared at Lin Wei.
This traitor was forced to kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole day, but he didn't learn a lesson!
"What do you mean, father, that we forced Aunt Zhang to murder both of them?" Lin Zhiyu laughed angrily.
There is such a father in the world, who favors concubines so much that he can put the blame on his own daughters and sons!
When Lin Pengsheng saw Lin Zhiyu talking back, his aspiration to be a teacher came out: "Are you still embarrassed to say that?"
"Without you as the cause, how could there be the current effect? Even if you, Aunt Zhang, are at fault, isn't it because of you?"
Lin Wei wanted to refute, but Lin Zhiyu took the lead and stopped him: "Grandma's matter is important."
Lin Wei turned his head away and no longer looked at Lin Pengsheng.
Zhu Hong watched on the side and was secretly frightened. She had long heard that Lin Wei and the Prime Minister had a bad relationship and would quarrel whenever they met.
Now when I look at it, it’s not just bad, the relationship between father and son is like enemies!
"What do you want to create out of nothing?"
When the servant went to report it, he didn't explain what happened. Therefore, in Lin Pengsheng's eyes, it was just Lin Zhiyu who suffered the loss of being mute and wanted to get revenge!
Since childhood, his daughter has been bullying his Hua'er because of her outstanding appearance, and she always refuses to admit it afterwards.
Even when she got a little older and became taciturn in the face of his scolding, Lin Pengsheng didn't feel like she had changed anything.
Lin Zhiyu took the initiative to ignore the impatience in Lin Pengsheng's eyes: "Grandma's illness was caused deliberately by someone."
"There's enough chaos at home, don't talk nonsense here!" Lin Pengsheng said angrily.
He knew Mrs. Lin's health. She was already living a relatively long life at the age of seventy-six. It was not surprising that she was now sick because of Lin Zhiyu's incident.
Lin Zhiyu leisurely took a step aside and motioned Lin Pengsheng to look at the bowl of mung bean soup and the food box on the ground.
"Grandma doesn't like mung beans, but after the Zhang family came to visit, she asked the kitchen to cook an extra bowl of mung bean soup every day and send it to Mu Cangzhai. Don't you think it's strange, father?"
Lin Pengsheng sneered: "People's tastes are ever-changing, is it any wonder?"
"The problem is with this food box."
Lin Zhiyu nodded toward the food box: "The food box was soaked in medicine, and the mung bean soup inside was also affected by the smell, so grandma liked it."
Cuihong pursed her lips uneasily and asked weakly: "That's just sandalwood. How can you say that someone deliberately murdered the old lady?"
Lin Pengsheng also darkened his face, finally realizing that this matter was no small matter.
Lin Zhiyu added: "Look at this ant, it's true that honey is added to the mung bean soup, but will honey make the ant so excited?"
After hearing what she said, Lin Wei stepped forward and opened the food box again.
Just as Lin Zhiyu said, the ants inside were a little too excited. Even though there was not much left in the mung bean soup, they were still crawling around there and refused to leave.
"I suspect that the aroma in the food box will increase people's appetite and conflict with the mung bean soup, so grandma fainted that day."
Lin Zhiyu said seriously.
Lin Wei was surprised, but also admired Lin Zhiyu. Although he had come to check before, he didn't pay much attention.
At that time, Cuihong was ready to throw away the food box. She probably heard that she had begun to investigate the matter of Mrs. Lin's fainting in detail and wanted to destroy the evidence.
Fortunately, the servants have been lazy these days, otherwise how could we have discovered the problem?
Zhu Hong, who had been silent all this time, sniffed and suddenly said: "I smelled this smell before the eldest lady passed away."
