Compared with Mrs. Duan, who only used ordinary methods, Lin Mengya's order was obviously more targeted.
Perhaps it was because her words were too concise and her attitude was cruel, so for a moment, everyone subconsciously chose to listen to her orders.
Instead of being completely helpless, he should not be blindly helpless.
Mrs. Duan gritted her teeth silently.
She had tried so hard to control the situation. How could it become someone else's home field in the blink of an eye?
But she was not stupid.
She would seem petty if she disturbed the situation now. It would be better to wait for the group of old guys outside to get into trouble. At that time, she would take this opportunity to suppress the little girl so that she would never be able to make a comeback.
As everyone hurriedly retreated, the air inside also became fresher.
Lin Mengya deliberately checked everyone's mouth and nose. After making sure that there was no foreign object in the way, she did not rush to find a doctor. Instead, she checked the food on the table.
Now she could be sure that these people were all poisoned by carbon monoxide.
In the cold winter, if the coal was not fully burned, or the doors and windows were closed and the air circulation was not smooth, it was almost fatal.
The front hall was large. In order to keep warm, she asked the servants to add a lot of charcoal.
And in order to avoid the concentration of carbon monoxide being too high, she specially told them not to close the doors and windows.
But why were the doors and windows closed when she just came in?
Also, since it was carbon monoxide poisoning, why did only the guests have symptoms, while the servants in the hall seemed to be fine?
She thought for a while and looked at the food on the table.
Since those people were sure that she had poisoned the food, someone must have found the evidence in the food.
However, the food on the table was prepared under her orders, and she had already checked it with the system. There was absolutely no poison in it.
What was going on?
"Do you want to destroy the evidence?"
Suddenly, a pair of hands clamped her wrists tightly.
Lin Mengya wanted to shake them off, but he used all his strength, as if he wanted to break her wrists.
"Let go."
She frowned slightly, and Cai Ru scolded beside her.
However, Zhao Zifei sneered, his eyes filled with pride as if he had seen through her tricks.
"I don't care what tricks you play. But this time, you dare to poison my father. Heh, in the future, let's see how you're going to use someone else's power to show off. "
He warned her in a low voice. The malice in his chest seemed like it was going to turn into a sword and stab into her body.
But Lin Mengya felt that this guy was absolutely delusional.
"I never rely on the power of others."
She said indifferently.
He exerted force with his hands and shook off the other party's grip.
Zhao Zifei stared at her coldly.
"You're still so stubborn now. To tell you the truth, once this matter is settled, you won't be able to do anything in the future."
His lips curled into a cruel smile.
"Look at them. They want to skin you alive."
He was referring to the subordinates of those big shots.
However, Lin Mengya just glanced around and was still very calm.
"I was born with a stubborn temper. Whoever wants to swallow me will have to see if he has a pair of iron teeth or steel teeth. At least in my opinion, you're just a little brat who only knows how to borrow other people's names to show off. You don't have the qualifications. "
Though one speaks from the heart.
Cai Ru's words came out of her mouth, but she had completely conveyed the meaning of her contempt.
Zhao Zifei's face suddenly darkened.
Lin Mengya didn't even look at him. She directly bypassed him and went outside.
Behind her, Zhao Zifei clenched his fists fiercely, and there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes.
After getting out of the poisoned environment, the few patients who were only in a daze before gradually woke up.
"Hiss — it's so cold! Hey, why am I sitting outside? "
The same question appeared on several other people.
Following that, their subordinates immediately surrounded them and helped the masters of the various families up.
"Master, you're finally awake. We were worried to death."
Following that, the other family members reported everything that had just happened to their masters in full detail.
Hearing that they were poisoned, the faces of the big shots of each family couldn't help but change slightly.
It should be known that they were all weather-beaten veterans.
Although they were in the home of a good friend, they still had the vigilance that they should have.
It wasn't the first time they ate that food. They didn't find any problems before?
Compared with those servants who were easily provoked and used, they appeared to be more cautious.
They didn't treat Lin Mengya as a criminal as soon as they woke up. Instead, they felt that there must be something fishy about it. They'd better wait until the matter was investigated first.
One by one, they began to regain consciousness.
Lin Mengya didn't rush to explain. Instead, she asked someone to put out the charcoal in the room and put it outside the door.
Although the room was not hot, it was much better than the outside world of ice and snow.
Finally, the three people who were most deeply poisoned, Zhao Yixuan, Jiang Yishui, and Li Chengyuan, also woke up.
Seeing that Elder Zhao had woken up, Mrs. Duan and her son rushed to him at once.
"Master, you're finally awake." Mrs. Duan's eyes were red. Although she didn't shed tears, her voice was with a weak crying tone.
Who wouldn't say that they were sincere when they saw it?
Elder Zhao's mind was still a little confused. There was no expression on his face, and he didn't say a word.
But Mrs. Duan and her son automatically understood that he was disappointed and angry with Lin Mengya.
Mrs. Duan lowered her eyes, suppressed her joy, and said hesitantly, "Master, don't be angry. I believe that Miss Ya didn't do it on purpose. After all, she is young, and she acts rashly. I hope you don't care about this matter for the sake of Sister Fang, who passed away. "
But Zhao Zifei didn't give up and kept shouting.
"She wants to poison people to death! Mother, how can you be so kind? In my opinion, she should be punished according to the family rules. Otherwise, I'm afraid that father will be killed by her next time without knowing it. "
Mrs. Duan shook her head with a sad look.
"No! Zifei, your Aunt Fang has passed away. Don't tell me you want to make her soul restless even in heaven? Master, please let her go. "
Lin Mengya curled her fingers and rubbed her forehead.
"Which low-class theater is this? Why are they acting? "
But it had to be said that the mother and son's speech attracted a lot of attention.
Lin Mengya clearly felt that the eyes around her were more or less scrutinizing.
Well, was he really suspecting her?
After all, up to now, everyone felt that this accident happened inexplicably.
She knocked on the back of Cai Ru's hand.
Cai Ru was so angry that she almost lost her mind, but she finally regained her senses.
"The matter hasn't been investigated clearly, but Mrs. Duan and Master Zifei are busy making up charges for my miss. Aren't they a little too anxious?"
Mrs. Duan was astute and didn't say anything, but Zhao Zifei spoke eloquently like a firecracker.
"What else is there to investigate? Today's meal was prepared by your miss. Everyone can see clearly that if she didn't poison them, my father and the elders wouldn't faint for no reason. "
The people around nodded. After all, this was the situation on the surface.
Cai Ru was about to refute, but was stopped by Lin Mengya's small movement.
She seamlessly switched to the master's special voice quality, slightly lowered her head, and acted as a mouthpiece for Lin Mengya.
"Oh? Don't be too sure. Otherwise, if you get slapped in the face too fast, I'm afraid that your face will hurt. "
Compared with Zhao Zifei, who was emotional, Lin Mengya was too calm.
Even Mrs. Duan, who had thought that it was a sure thing, wondered if she had missed any key evidence.
Until she found that Lin Mengya's sleeves seemed to be trembling uncontrollably.
Then she realized that Lin Mengya was just putting on a brave front.
Ha, as she said, Lin Mengya would never be able to clear her name.
"That's enough, Zifei. I know you're worried about Master. Don't say a few words. This matter has to be decided by your father. "
Mrs. Duan's concession made herself a model of gentleness, modesty, and understanding.
Several guests who had just been helped in couldn't help but feel that Mrs. Duan was indeed a good person.
Looking at Zhao Zifei, who looked 70% to 80% like Zhao Yixuan when he was young, they immediately understood.
It turned out that this was the illegitimate son of Li Chengyuan's old friend who had been wandering outside.
Although it was unfair to Mrs. Fang, at least when she was alive, Zhao Yixuan didn't marry this mother and son, which could be considered as doing her right.
At this moment, everyone had a better impression of this mother and son.
Of course, Lin Mengya also realized it.
Mrs. Duan was really good at conducting herself. She could win people's hearts with a few tricks.
Even if they couldn't get anything on her, these people could also help Mrs. Duan and her son to marry into the Zhao family.
However, since they met her, their plan today would definitely be in vain.
"Mrs. Duan, you don't have to say this much. Now the Zhao family is still under my uncle's command. What do you think, uncle? "
At this time, Zhao Yixuan had recovered.
He raised his head and looked at Lin Mengya with a serious look.
"I believe you."
These four words almost made Zhao Zifei explode.
He jumped up, pointed at Lin Mengya, and said excitedly, "Father, that woman, she almost killed you!"
Zhao Yixuan frowned slightly, but his attitude was still firm.
"Lin Mengya would never deliberately hurt us. Zhao Zifei, don't talk nonsense."
Mrs. Duan immediately stopped Zhao Zifei and echoed with a meaningful look, "Yes, it was also an accident. Zifei, your father has just woken up. Don't make trouble anymore, do you hear me? "
Zhao Zifei glared at Lin Mengya and reluctantly stopped talking.
But Lin Mengya felt that it was ridiculous.
In the blink of an eye, the deliberate poisoning became an unintentional mistake?
Anyway, this crime was destined to be pinned on her.
Next to them, there were already people who began to smooth things over.
"Yes, yes, yes. After all, Miss Ya is a little young, so it's normal that she didn't think it through. Fortunately, everyone is fine. Don't argue with a little girl like her. "
