“Second Miss Lu, did you see it clearly?” Qiao Xi asked coldly.

Everyone had also clearly seen the surveillance footage. Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi had not left Yun Court since they returned. Lu Xiang’s heart felt like it was stuffed with a huge rock as she retorted indignantly, “Maybe they weren’t poisoned last night. Maybe Gu Zheng poisoned them a long time ago but the poisons just acted up last night.”

Qiao Xi grunted coldly. “Second Miss Lu, this is just a guess of yours. Besides, the doctor has already said that the two of them were poisoned last night. If you don’t believe it, you can look for a doctor you trust to re-examine them.”

The moment that was said, the doctors of the Medical a.s.sociation were instantly unhappy. They represented the authority of the Medical a.s.sociation. An illegitimate daughter of the Lu family actually doubted their medical skills?

Lu Xiang was speechless. She did not expect that Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi had really never left Yun Court. However, who else would poison Lu Yan and the old master?

Gu Zheng was the most suspicious. If Lu Yan lost his sight, he would have a chance to be the heir. If the old master was unconscious, he could also use this opportunity to control the Lu family. Gu Zheng would be the greatest beneficiary.

Just as Lu Xiang was deep in thought, the butler’s panicked voice suddenly came from beside her. “Young Master! Why did you go to the master’s room so late at night? And what’s that in your hand? It was exactly 11 o’clock!”

The moment that was said, everyone looked at the surveillance footage. At 11 o’clock, Lu Yan entered Old Master Lu’s bedroom with a white medicine bottle.

One of the doctors asked in disbelief, “Could it be that he poisoned the old master?”

The doctor said that Old Master Lu was poisoned at 11 pm, and the surveillance footage showed Lu Yan entering Old Master Lu’s bedroom with a bottle of medicine at night.

No one could see the scene in the room, but only Lu Yan had entered during this period. It seemed obvious what he had done. He was not asleep in the middle of the night and had secretly entered the old master’s room. Could it be that he was there to chat with the old master?

At this moment, everyone looked at Lu Yan with eyes that were filled with shock and disdain. Qiao Xi smiled lightly. This was the effect she wanted.

When Lu Yan heard the voices around him, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was blind and could not see the surveillance footage, but he did not remember going to his grandfather’s room at all, let alone poisoning him.

The hall was terrifyingly quiet. Qiao Xi sighed. “Young Master Lu, I know you don’t want Ah Zheng to return to the Lu family, but even if Ah Zheng returns, the old master will still dote on you. How could you poison the old master?”

The moment that was said, the entire venue was silent. Time seemed to have frozen. After a long time, someone said in shock, “It’s actually… Lu Yan!”

“I really didn’t expect this! The head of the family spent so much effort nurturing a snake!”

“Idiot! Now that the head of the family is poisoned and unconscious, who can protect him?”

Hearing everyone’s voices, Lu Yan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He retorted weakly, “I didn’t poison anyone!”

He gritted his teeth and said in an extremely dry voice, “Grandpa is so good to me. Just as everyone said, if he’s unconscious, no one will be around to protect me. I won’t be so stupid!”

Lu Xiang also stood up to defend him. “It can’t be Ah Yan! He’s the most filial. Moreover, he was poisoned as well and is blind now. If he really poisoned the old master, why is he blind?”

Qiao Xi said thoughtfully, “Perhaps he deliberately blinded himself. In this way, he’ll become a victim as well and no one will suspect him.”

“Theoretically speaking, Young Master Lu wouldn’t have poisoned the old master. But even if he can come up with many excuses, how will he explain the scene in the surveillance footage? Young Master Lu, aren’t you the one in the surveillance footage?”

Everyone nodded. With the surveillance footage as evidence, what else could they deny? At this point, Lu Yan was still defending himself. Other than Lu Xiang, who would believe him?

Gu Zheng’s burning gaze landed on Qiao Xi, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Xi Xi was really too beautiful when she stood up for him.

Lu Yan bit his lip until it bled. His vision was dark, but he could still feel the disdainful and disgusted gazes around him. However, he did not poison anyone at all!

He clenched his fists tightly and smashed them fiercely onto the table. He gritted his teeth and said, “Qiao Xi! You’re wrongly accusing me!”

“Young Master Lu, you know very well whether you’re innocent or not. Moreover, everyone has seen that you’re the one in the surveillance footage.” Qiao Xi grunted coldly. “If it weren’t for the surveillance footage, I’m afraid Ah Zheng would have taken the blame for you. Could it be that your motive for poisoning Old Master Lu was to frame Ah Zheng?”

Without waiting for Lu Yan to retort, Qiao Xi turned around and said unhappily, “Ah Zheng, after paying respects to your mother, let’s leave the Lu family. We shouldn’t interact with the Lu family anymore. They’re constantly thinking of ways to frame you. How annoying!”
