Schilling's Shadow glanced at Xi Mengjia and whispered, "Sixth Sister, I heard that Fourth Sister and Third Sister got into a fight yesterday. Could it be …"
Xi Mengjia glared at her and snapped, "If that's what you're thinking, why don't you say it out loud to Master? Why are you whispering it into my ear?"
Schilling's Shadow immediately lowered his stance and whispered, "I'm a publicly acknowledged piece of trash. Who would listen to me?"
Xi Mengjia nodded and agreed.
There were many people inside and outside the house, but no one mentioned what happened yesterday. Everyone knew that they had to protect themselves and not look for trouble. Xi Mengjia was no exception. However, if she were to mention the fight between Mengmei and Mengdie, then the first suspect would be Mengmei.
That was the key problem.
She knew Mengmei's personality well. She was simple-minded and would never poison Mengdie in the middle of the night. Plus, Mengmei didn't have enough douqi to poison Mengdie without alerting Mengdie, so the culprit was definitely not Mengmei.
If she were to expose Mengmei, then the real culprit would have a chance to breathe. That way, they might miss the best time to treat Mengdie and Mengdie's face would forever be as black as charcoal.
On the other hand, Mengdie was much harder to deal with than Mengmei. After weighing the pros and cons, Mengjia's eyes turned cold as she came up with an idea.
She glanced at Schilling's Shadow. Who would've thought that this piece of trash would give her the most important hint at such a crucial moment?
"What? Could it be that you don't dare to admit to harming others?" Patriarch Xi's enraged voice rang out again, full of intimidation.
Xi Mengjia bit her lip and suddenly said in a small voice, "Grandfather, us sisters have always gotten along harmoniously. It's impossible for us to harm Third Sister over such a trivial matter."
She sounded like she was expressing her stance, but on the other hand … the crowd began to whisper.
"Speaking of sisterhood, didn't Fourth Sister say that Third Sister stole her man? Could it be … her? "
"Fourth Miss has such a bad temper. It's not surprising that she would do something like that …"
As more and more people began to whisper, they subconsciously increased the volume of their voices so that the person they were talking to could hear them clearly …
Thus, Xi Mengmei was pushed to the cusp of the storm.
Xi Jiajia glared at Xi Mengmei, "Mengmei, you quarreled with Mengdie yesterday. Is it because you hate her that you did this in a fit of anger?"
Xi Mengmei could not understand how she had become a murderer. She hurriedly shook her hands. "I didn't, it wasn't me."
Madam Xi panicked when she saw that her second daughter was being targeted. "Master, this is definitely not Meng Mei's doing. I know her character. She would never play such a dirty trick."
Xi Mengdie felt a little upset when she saw her mother protecting her younger sister like this.
The Xi family member disagreed. "We'll know whether it's her or not after searching her room."
"Go ahead, I'm not afraid of you." Xi Mengmei puffed up her chest, looking as if she was not afraid of anything.
Seeing her attitude, the head of the Xi family thought that if she wasn't so confident that she wouldn't be caught, then Xi Mengmei really wasn't the murderer.
