The old lady's low voice immediately made everyone in the room silent, and everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on the old lady.

"Mother, hasn't the matter been concluded? It was Ma Hao who did it! He is the only outsider in the family!" The dull uncle said so, quite straightforwardly and a little brainless. However, this man was very stubborn and could only see the surface phenomenon.

Almost no one in the family cared about his opinion. Only the old lady, as always, responded to him gently, saying, "Big brother, when you look at things, you can't just look at the surface, and you can't always be stubborn. You should learn this from your brother."

After she finished speaking, the old lady glanced at her second son with a meaningful look, which made his heart skip a beat. Then, she said unhappily, "Mother, what do you mean by that? How can you insult your own son like that?"

As usual, the two brothers would not dare to confront the old lady, and they would have to go through a lot of roundabout ways to say a word of rebuttal. However, although the atmosphere at home has been tense in the past few days, the old lady's attitude towards people has been much softer than before, which has made them unconsciously have the illusion that they can compete with the old lady.

"You haven't done anything wrong, how can I harm you? Don't always focus on other people's faults, look at your own character. Although the eldest brother is a little dull, he is honest. You may never be able to match him in this aspect in your entire life." When the old lady said this, there was a hint of melancholy between her eyebrows, and she sighed silently in her heart.

After searching around, it turned out that only the grandson Ruan Xi was still alive and sane in this family. It turned out that she, as the head of the family, was such a failure. Otherwise, how could so many bad things happen in the family?

Ruan Xi looked at her adoptive father with a frustrated expression, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, but she was too lazy to look at him any more. She ignored the two men who were obviously not very smart and brought the topic back to the main topic.

"There is no doubt that Ma Hao was the one who poisoned me. His motive was nothing more than making money. As for the specific process, I am not interested in knowing. What I am interested in is that in this family, if no one helped, his actions could be so smooth, even silent. If I hadn't noticed the abnormality in my grandmother's body, I'm afraid..." Ruan Xi didn't need to finish her words, as everyone knew the consequences. For a moment, the expressions on everyone's faces were somewhat interesting.

Especially his great aunt. If he saw correctly, the flash of excitement in her eyes just now...was it? What was she excited about? Excited that Ma Hao had been convicted? Or excited that the tension in the family was finally coming to an end?

Ruan Xi observed everyone's expressions calmly. The old lady also noticed his abnormality, but did not ask much. She subconsciously covered for Ruan Xi to prevent him from being noticed by others.

"Oh, Xiaoxi, what you said is a bit scary. If there really is such a vicious person in the family, who can live in peace in the future?" The aunt raised her hand to pat her chest and leaned her whole body on her husband's shoulder with a frightened look on her face.

"It's hard to say whether you'll be at peace in the future, but you definitely weren't at peace before. Otherwise, so many problems wouldn't have happened, right, aunt?" Ruan Xi smiled gently and kindly, with "harmless" written all over his body. But in fact, his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, making people feel uneasy when they saw them, especially those who felt guilty.

For example, Ruan Xi's biological mother, Ms. Miao Shulan, unsurprisingly, got angry again, and her noise was so annoying that it gave people a headache.

Anyway, Ruan Xi was getting a headache looking at her. Couldn't she just sit quietly and listen? She had to be such a troublemaker, making it impossible for him to interrogate a suspect without making a sound.

That’s right, Ruan Xi suspected that the traitor in his family who was colluding with Ma Hao was his aunt Zhong Jing.

However, he had no evidence and no way to convict her.

How about trying Ma Hao again? In his previous life, during the apocalypse, he had learned hypnosis from a psychiatrist. Although he couldn't become a top talent in this field, hypnotizing ordinary people shouldn't be a big problem.

At this moment, He Ziqian, who had been standing silently behind him, suddenly said, "Let me ask Ma Hao for help."

Ruan Xi: "..." Uh, the word "ask" is used quite subtly. He doesn't care, but the person being asked is a bit miserable. After just one time, he has been beaten and has a psychological trauma.

"That's fine. It would be best if I could get the answers directly." It was also his fault that he lacked combat experience in this area. The last time He Ziqian helped him interrogate Ma Hao, he didn't even think of asking for all the answers at the same time, so as to avoid going through the process again, which was quite troublesome.

The two of them chatted about their next plan as if no one else was around, seemingly forgetting everyone else. Miao Shulan continued to make noises, but no one paid any attention. Finally, Ruan Mingxuan couldn't stand it anymore and covered her mouth with his hand, "Shut up! If you don't know how to speak, don't speak!"

Obviously, Ruan Mingxuan felt that Miao Shulan had caused him too much trouble, and his face was full of displeasure. Even when his youngest son, whom he always doted on, called him, he turned a deaf ear.

This was the first time that Ruan Jun was neglected by his parents. Maintaining his spoiled nature, he felt wronged and subconsciously glared at Ruan Xi, convinced that all this was caused by Ruan Xi.

Ruan Xi... Ruan Xi met Ruan Jun's gaze and smiled slightly, which immediately stunned Ruan Jun. Ruan Jun had never seen Ruan Xi smile like this before.

"How about... let's talk about the time you killed me with a poisonous snake?" Ruan Xi's words were a bit ambiguous. He was obviously still alive, but he kept saying "kill me". Ruan Jun felt creepy every time he heard it, and his whole body felt a little cold. His domineering nature made it impossible for him to do nothing.

Just do it.

"Aren't you alive and well? How could I have hurt you? I already said that I didn't get the snake. I'm afraid of snakes myself, so how could I have gotten such a poisonous snake? Don't slander me!" Ruan Jun spoke louder and louder, and he was almost convinced.

Unfortunately, Ruan Xi's expression did not change at all from beginning to end. There was even a faint smile on the corner of his lips. He just glanced at Ruan Jun lightly, and he shrank back like a quail.

"Well, you're right. You are so afraid of snakes, so it is possible that you didn't get that snake. However, I think I'm right about your intention to kill me." Ruan Xi's voice was soft and gentle, as if he was telling a bedtime story. Unfortunately, there was a poisonous snake, and it was killed. It was weird everywhere. It was impossible to sleep after listening to such a bedtime story.

"You are so annoying. Your existence is simply a source of pollution to this family!" It is unknown which word touched Ruan Jun's stress point. His face suddenly turned red and his neck became thick. The words he shouted were quite irrational.

Of course, this kid with a not-so-good brain seems to have never been rational. He probably couldn't even realize that he was being used as a gun.

Just thinking about it makes me feel tired for the original owner...Okay, the original owner has been relieved. Now and in the future, he will be the only one who is tired.

"Grandma, I'll take my newly hired temporary worker to interrogate Ma Hao. This time, we'll try to get all the information at once. I'll leave this kid with a not-so-smart brain to you." Ruan Xi didn't say a word about Ruan Jun. He waved his hand and left with He Ziqian. This time, he didn't even let the housekeeper follow. After all, the two of them were already familiar with the place.

Everyone was a little confused by this sudden turn of events. By the time they reacted, Ruan Xi and He Ziqian had already entered the room where Ma Hao was imprisoned. The door was closed, isolating everything inside from the outside world.

"Why is Xiaoxi willing to let an outsider interfere and not let us help? Isn't this too distant? We are a family, mother, isn't this a bit inappropriate? Besides, that man looks too unfamiliar. I don't think he is from Funong Star..." Zhong Jing said these words hesitantly. Between the lines, there was suspicion towards He Ziqian, a stranger, and concern for Ruan Xi. The emotions were released very well, which made the old lady worried.

But in the end, she now trusts Ruan Xi more, and as a result, she is also willing to trust that strange man.

After coming to her senses, she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious about her eldest daughter-in-law's behavior. Just now, it was the second daughter-in-law who was excited, so why was it the eldest daughter-in-law now? What were these two people up to?

"Ah...ah...I said...I said...it's Zhong Jing! It's Zhong Jing..." Suddenly, Ma Hao's screams that were not like a human voice came from the room with the door closed. Everyone who heard it couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, and they all looked over subconsciously.

But soon, everyone's attention was focused on Zhong Jing.

Zhong Jing: "...No, I didn't...Ma Hao is just making up stories...Don't believe him..."

Zhong Jing looked really panicked at this moment, her voice was shaking uncontrollably, and she was shaking her hands wildly in denial. She was about to rush into the room to confront Ma Hao.

It is also possible that Ma Hao was just making random assumptions, but once the seeds of doubt were planted, they could not be easily eliminated. Not to mention other people, even her husband and children couldn't help but want to stay away from her, which made her really panic.

"I didn't! Mother! Please believe me! How could I do such a thing? I..." Zhong Jing tried her best to deny it, but at this moment, a weak voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

It’s Ruan Huaqing.

"No, sister-in-law, you have! The first time I was poisoned was on my brother's birthday, right? There was something wrong with the cup of milk you gave me." Ruan Huaqing had stomach discomfort that day, so Zhong Jing considerately gave her a cup of warm milk. After drinking it, she developed a fever in the middle of the night. However, because she had stomach discomfort, no one paid special attention to it. Now, looking back, there are many doubts.

"Huaqing, how come you got up by yourself? You are still very weak. Xiaoxi said you need to stay in bed for at least a month." When the old lady saw her daughter running out, she hurried forward to help her. However, before she got close, Ruan Huaqing's body softened and she fell to the ground.

Suddenly, there was chaos in the house again.

Well, the chaos in the Ruan family has never stopped recently.
