“Yes.” Gu Momo sighed slightly. “I thought that Grandpa Qiao must have a close relationship with Butler Zhenqiao, so I wanted to test whether Butler Zhenqiao would use poison. But when I just poisoned him, he didn’t notice at all.”

Her eyes darkened slightly: "It seems I was overthinking it. He seems to be fine, so we'll just have to investigate others."

Li Zhanting immediately suggested, "Then let's go and check on the situation with some of the younger members of the Shao family."

"good."

The two immediately prepared to head to the courtyard of several younger members of the Ye family. After bypassing countless pavilions and towers, they finally approached the courtyard slowly.

Unexpectedly, a black figure flashed in front of them at that moment. Li Zhanting immediately grabbed Gu Momo's hand and protected her in a protective posture.

When they saw the person in front of them clearly, they were slightly surprised: "Fourth Master, is that you?"

Ye Wanjun's sharp eyes narrowed slightly: "Did you just come back from Butler Zhenqiao's place?"

Upon hearing Ye Wanjun's question, Li Zhanting immediately knew that Butler Zhenqiao might know something, and a slight smile flickered in his eyes:

“Last time, we were able to investigate some things thanks to the Fourth Master’s secret help. But I don’t understand, if the Fourth Master really knows something, why not just tell me and Momo directly? Besides… in the entire Shao family, the Fourth Master isn’t someone who can’t speak up. I don’t understand why you keep hiding things like this.”

Ye Wanjun's dark eyes flashed with a cold smile: "Heh, do you think I don't want to? The Ye family's waters run so deep, who dares to step in easily?! Before you came to the Ye family, so many people thought they could definitely change the Ye family's situation, but what happened in the end? In the end, who didn't suddenly die a violent death?!"

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting narrowed their eyes, but remained silent.

Then, Ye Wanjun continued, "If you really want to investigate the Ye family, it might take some effort. After all, the Ye family is a very complex place, and what you see now may not be the truth. Even if you see some things, you may not be able to notice the details."

As he spoke, his expression deepened: "For example, I remember that when my eldest brother's daughter, Ye Ruyu, was born, she had a mole on the back of her neck. Are you sure you could notice that mole on her neck?"

"For example, my third brother's son, Ye Nanting, was unruly when he was young. He broke a rib, and it never grew back. You've met so many members of the Ye family, but have you really seen their true colors? Have you ever considered that what you see with your own eyes can deceive you..."

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting exchanged glances, seemingly understanding something.

"So you mean..." They were about to ask something when a strange figure suddenly flashed by in the distance.

Before Gu Momo and Li Zhanting could take a closer look, Ye Wanjun seemed to be provoked and hurriedly chased after them!

"Fourth Master!"

A sense of foreboding flashed through Gu Momo and Li Zhanting's minds, and they quickly chased after them.

But after only a few steps of tracking, they suddenly heard a piercing scream from ahead: "Ah—"

At that moment, Gu Momo and Li Zhanting's hearts were in their throats!

"Fourth Master!" The two hurriedly chased after him.

When they arrived, they saw that the courtyard was filled with flames, and huge tongues of fire engulfed the courtyard!

"Fourth Master! Are you alright?" Li Zhanting instinctively tried to rush inside, but the fire was too big, and he couldn't get in at all.

Hearing the commotion, the servants rushed over immediately: "What's going on?!"

"Help! Help! Fire!"

The Ye family was thrown into chaos again, and everyone immediately joined in the firefighting efforts.

Soon, Ye Qingfeng, the third master of the Ye family, and Ye Rong, the head of the family, also arrived. When they saw the fire, their expressions changed.

Especially Ye Qingfeng, whose handsome and cold face showed a trace of astonishment and regret, a sorrowful expression, as if he had long expected such a tragic outcome, and he closed his eyes in despair.

His voice was hoarse: "This is the doomed Shao family! This is going to destroy my Shao family!!!"

The heartbreaking voice immediately made Gu Momo and Li Zhanting turn their heads to look at the middle-aged man whose expression was extremely broken.

His cold expression was filled with sorrow and despair, and his cries seemed to be an angry rebuke to the heavens, as well as a sense of helplessness and struggle against fate.

Even from a distance, just looking at him like this, you can feel an indescribable sadness emanating from him...

At that moment, Gu Momo seemed to have a vague illusion.

The Third Master, Ye Qingfeng, seems to genuinely harbor some kind of sincere affection for the Shao family…

The head of the family, Ye Rong, was directing the firefighting efforts: "The fire over there has also started; rescue them immediately!"

"yes!"

The servants threw themselves back into the battle against the fire, while the Ye family's henchmen rushed over in a panic.

The Shao family was known in the capital for valuing their descendants. Even when they reorganized the Ye family, they still hoped that the family would flourish. But now, only these three people remain among their descendants.

Ye Ruyu, daughter of the eldest master Ye Xichen, and Ye Nanting, son of the third master Ye Qingfeng.

There was also an imposter, Ye Wanqing, the daughter of the Fourth Master Ye Wanjun.

Gu Momo recalled the words that the Fourth Master had said to her before he left, and her eyes narrowed dangerously.

A light smile immediately appeared on her lips, and she strode towards Ye Ruyu: "Miss Ye..."

But the next moment, she stumbled forward and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Ye Ruyu quickly stepped forward to support Gu Momo: "Miss Gu, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Gu Momo took the opportunity of getting up to glance at Ye Ruyu's neck without leaving a trace.

Sure enough, there were no moles on her neck!

She quickly concealed the surprise in her eyes and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I was a little flustered just now. Thank you for your help, Miss Ye."

Ye Ruyu was quite magnanimous: "It's nothing, Miss Gu, you'd better be careful in the future."

Hearing the ambiguous tone in her words, Gu Momo couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly.

Li Zhanting gently helped Gu Momo up and smiled as he bid farewell to everyone: "Everyone, Momo is feeling a little unwell, so I'll take her back to her room first. I'll leave Fourth Master's affairs to you for now."

"Alright!" Ye Rong looked at his subordinate, "See Miss Gu and Mr. Li off."

"yes!"

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting returned to their room and immediately closed the door.

Li Zhanting looked out the window at his subordinates, and seeing that they had already left, he quickly asked Gu Momo:

"MoMo, how is it?"
