But Cai Ru didn't think so.
"Doesn't the old doctor know about the smoke poison? As long as he comes, you can be cleared of suspicion. "
Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya shook her head.
Knowing that this farce had come to an end, when she once again stood in Elder Zhao's study room, she finally revealed the true danger.
"In fact, the thing that really poisoned everyone was a poison hidden in the mutton pot. But Madam Duan used the Lingqiao Soup wrongly and everyone was poisoned by the smoke, which covered up the real source of the poison. "
When he heard this, Elder Zhao's state of mind was already unperturbed.
That day, he almost went back and forth from the gates of hell, and he seemed to be more indifferent to life and death.
"What poison is it?" He asked.
"It's a slow poison called 'One Season Red'. In fact, I've seen it once before, but when I asked someone to keep an eye on her, she didn't poison again."
This was also the reason why Lin Mengya didn't put her under control.
If that woman was really the mastermind behind the poisoning, then she would not have stopped after just one time.
Now, it could only be said that she was also used by someone.
Moreover, it was very likely that she was just a tool to cover up the real poisoner.
Moreover, during this banquet, her people were secretly supervising the dishes in the kitchen to prevent the possibility of someone tampering.
Unexpectedly, there was still a problem.
This meant that the person who poisoned the mutton might not be in the kitchen.
Although the people who were responsible for decorating the front hall that day had their own duties, it was not impossible to find a loophole.
Elder Zhao was silent for a moment.
Then, he slowly let out a breath and slumped in the chair listlessly.
"I didn't know that Madam would have such a hard time when she was in charge of the affairs of the backyard."
He kind of missed the time when Madam was not even willing to be kind to him.
At least at that time, there wouldn't be so many troubles at home in front of him.
But Lin Mengya was thinking that after all these things, would Aunt Fang still give Elder Zhao a chance?
"To tell you the truth, recently I have been wondering whether this is still my home. Why do I feel more and more unfamiliar with the people and things here? "Elder Zhao said self-mockingly.
Lin Mengya could understand how he felt.
Home was supposed to be a place where people could relax the most. However, the current Zhao Mansion was obviously full of pitfalls.
No one wanted to live such a restless life, especially the current Elder Zhao. It was difficult to find the confidence he had when they first met at the Fang Clan, as if he had everything under his control.
Right now, Elder Zhao's footsteps were completely hindered by these trivial family matters.
No matter how powerful an eagle was, it could not spread its wings and soar. In the end, it became an unwilling but helpless pheasant.
Lin Mengya was in a trance for a moment, and then she suddenly remembered something.
"May I know what Elder Li Chengyuan is doing in the Elders Guild?"
Elder Zhao did not want to hide it from her. Moreover, this matter was not considered a secret.
"Cheng Yuan is the same as me. We are both in charge of the Merchant Union. All these years, I have been in charge of external affairs, and he has been in charge of —"
Elder Zhao's brows furrowed even tighter as he spoke.
In the end, his emotions were faintly tinged with anxiety, as if he was worried about something.
Lin Meng
Lin Mengya knew that he had also discovered some problems.
"No matter what Elder Li Chengyuan is in charge of, from now on, he can no longer bear any responsibility. Before this, I did not understand why Elder Li had to be the one to clash with us. Now it seems that we have all been plotted against. "
Zhao Yixuan nodded slowly.
Although he somewhat blamed his good friend for meddling in his private affairs, it did not mean that he would sit back and do nothing about the guys who plotted against his old friend.
But now he was at home, and this mess of trouble had already overwhelmed him. Naturally, he could not spare his hands to deal with those who coveted his position with Elder Li.
His current predicament must be what those people wanted to see, and even added fuel to the fire in the dark.
He clenched his hands tightly, and after a moment, he had already made up his mind.
"I have to return to the meeting place of the Elders Guild as soon as possible."
"So you are not going to care about these things at home?" Lin Mengya suddenly had a bad feeling.
As expected, in the next moment, Elder Zhao pleaded with her with a very sincere look.
"This time I have to go, otherwise all the efforts that Chengyuan and I have made over the years will be in vain. As for the matters at home, although I am very sorry, can I entrust them to you? "
"Me? Elder Zhao, please don't joke around. "
She shook her head without thinking.
"Back then, my brothers were the ones in charge of our family's business. I do not want to be involved in these matters at home. This time I have already made an exception to help you, please do not make things difficult for me, Elder Zhao. "
It was not that she was afraid, nor was it that she could not outscheme him.
It was just that the Zhao Family wasn't her territory, so she shouldn't meddle too much in it.
Elder Zhao had pleaded again and again, but she still refused to agree.
In the end, she could only remind him speechlessly.
"Doesn't your backyard have a master? Why do you have to give up what is near at hand and seek what is far away? "
Zhao Yixuan was stunned, and then immediately thought of his wife.
Indeed, if Madam was still alive, it would naturally be justifiable.
"But didn't Madam want to fake her death to get away? Wouldn't it be a waste of effort to expose the fact that she is alive now? "
Lin Mengya smiled and looked out of the window at the snowy sky.
"Such heavy snow has blocked all the roads, even immortals can't get out. Those who want Auntie Fang dead are now isolated and helpless, just like us.
As long as we find the mole who wants to kill Aunt Fang before the snow melts, everything will be fine, right? "
Elder Zhao did not expect that now, after being reminded by her, it was as if he had been enlightened.
He fiercely patted his thigh, his face full of surprise.
"Why didn't I think of that! That's right, that's the best! As long as my wife takes action, I believe there is nothing that cannot be done! "
But Lin Mengya unexpectedly poured a bucket of cold water on him.
"But how do you think you should explain to Aunt Fang that you have a mistress and such a big illegitimate child?"
Elder Zhao's expression immediately froze on his face.
He rubbed his face in distress, obviously regretting his irresponsible behavior at that time.
Lin Mengya might as well stab him in the back.
"You know Aunt Fang's temper. She hates the deceit and betrayal of others the most. Of course, you can say that it happened before you got married, but I think it's better to confess to Aunt Fang than to find excuses that can be easily exposed.
As for whether she can forgive you, I don't know. "
After finishing her words, she left this huge trouble to Elder Zhao to think about without any sense of responsibility.
Outside the door, goose feathers fell one after another. Even though she was wearing a heavy fox skin cloak, she still felt the cold wind.
On her way, she unexpectedly met Madam Duan.
At this time, although Madam Duan was still dressed decently, there was no warm and kind smile on her face.
After several confrontations with Lin Mengya, this woman finally tore off her disguise and showed her ambitious side.
Lin Mengya stood still and looked at this unfriendly guest.
"Madam, what can I do for you?" Her calm attitude made Madam Duan hate her more.
"I don't care who sent you and what your purpose is. Anyway, if you dare to stand in my way, I will definitely make you pay. "
Madam Duan's warning seemed to be colder than the wind and snow.
Lin Mengya had always known that this woman, who had brought up her son and almost married into the family, would be a tough opponent.
For example, this time.
Although she proved that everyone's poisoning had nothing to do with her, Madam Duan immediately admitted her mistake, which made it difficult to blame all the fault on her.
In short, this time, she just had a slight upper hand, not a complete victory at all.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked a little careless.
"Madam, don't you know very well? I'm just a temporary housekeeper sent by my uncle. When aunt's matter is settled, I will leave here. "
"But." Lin Mengya changed the topic, and her eyes became much sharper.
"I also advise you to put away your thoughts. I don't care about the old things between you and my uncle, but the wealth and status of the Zhao Family today have a great relationship with my aunt. I don't care who becomes Madam Zhao, but no one can ruin my aunt's efforts. "
Madam Duan narrowed her eyes and seemed to have some doubts about her.
Lin Mengya had no obligation and time to answer her questions, so she directly bypassed her and walked away.
The wind by her ear came to a subtle voice behind her.
"Madam, what does she mean?"
Wanted to know what she meant? Lin Mengya pursed her lips, but there was a mischievous smile in her eyes.
Haha, Madam Duan and her subordinates would never think that she was a troublemaker.
In fact, she was not interested in the power and wealth of the Zhao Family, or the love triangle between Elder Zhao, Aunt Fang, and Madam Duan.
She was just looking after the house for Aunt Fang. As for the other things, it was better to let them solve it themselves!
She quickened her steps and ran to her small courtyard.
Today, in order to continue Yu's treatment, she asked someone to bring back a lot of spring water from the stone milk spring.
Although the effect of the spring water at home would be a little less effective, Yu's treatment and recovery would not be interrupted.
The small courtyard was right in front of them, but the sharp-eyed Cai Ru found something strange. She hurriedly pulled her to hide in a corner.
"Master, look! It seems that someone is trying to spy on the situation in our courtyard! "
Looking at the direction where Cai Ru pointed, she saw a sneaky figure.
"Eh, why is it her?" Lin Mengya whispered in surprise.
"Master, do you know that person?" Cai Ru asked.
