In her past life, a treacherous man and a despicable woman conspired against her, leading her to a tragic end filled with hatred.
Only at the moment of death did she realize that her foolish ...
Upon hearing this, Tong Shuirong denied it, saying, "Impossible! Ye Lei would never do such a thing. You must be framing him. He wouldn't do that!"
Dongfang Yi's face immediately darkened. "Injustice! Do you think you're worthy? Just based on what he did to my grandparents, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to dig him up and whip his corpse!"
"How dare you!" Upon hearing this, Tong Shuirong glared at Dongfang Yi and said angrily, "He is your second uncle! You'll go to hell for this! You'll die a horrible death!"
Dongfang Yi laughed and said, "If we're going to hell, he'll be the first one to go. As for me, you don't need to worry about me!"
Tong Shuirong said, "No, he won't go to hell."
Dongfang Yi was too lazy to waste words with her, so he looked at Chen Ran at the door and said, "Go see if Old Cheng has found out yet!"
This was a family scandal, so there weren't many servants; besides their own trusted confidants, there were no others.
Chen Ran returned quickly, accompanied by Elder Cheng and an uninvited guest—Shen Qiu.
Old Cheng walked into the courtyard and looked at Tong Shuirong in front of him, wishing he could kick her.
They say the most venomous heart is that of a woman!
This sentence was tailor-made for Tong Shuirong!
As Old Cheng passed by Tong Shuirong, he gave a soft hum before walking up to the old man. After greeting the two elders and Dongfang Tinglan, he looked at Dongfang Yi.
"Young Master."
Dongfang Yi nodded slightly and asked, "Have you found out?"
Old Cheng nodded and replied, "Yes, it's been investigated. That substance is indeed highly poisonous, what we call arsenic. According to the newer theory, it's potassium cyanide. Just a small amount can be fatal!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone present turned extremely grim.
At the same time, everyone felt a wave of fear.
If Dongfang Die hadn't stopped them, the Dongfang family would probably have been wiped out the moment dinner was served tomorrow.
Immediately, everyone looked at Tong Shuirong with more dissatisfaction.
Upon hearing Old Cheng's words, Tong Shuirong's face turned deathly pale, and she collapsed to the ground.
She knew that this time she was truly finished.
Dongfang Yi frowned and looked at Tong Shuirong, saying, "Even if you hate us, you shouldn't extend your evil clutches to other innocent members of the Dongfang family!"
Tong Shuirong was now completely bewitched, her voice trembling as she said, "Innocent people! Who is innocent? Everyone here is a member of the Dongfang family. No one is innocent!"
Upon hearing this, the old man's face turned ashen, and his veins bulged.
Although the old lady standing to the side was very unhappy to hear this, she was not at all surprised that Tong Shui Rong would say such a thing.
He then looked at the old man and said, "Take a good look. This is the kind of person you would plan out your future for even if someone poisoned you. Isn't it worth it?"
Upon hearing this, the old man neither refuted nor had anything to say in rebuttal.
He knew what his wife meant, and he knew that he couldn't hide his thoughts from her.
The reason I didn't expose him was out of respect for him.
Saying these words made me feel even more sorry for him.
After saying that, the old lady looked at Tong Shuirong and said coldly, "No one in the Dongfang family has wronged Dongfang Yelei, and no one has wronged you either."
Let's start with Dongfang Yelei. If it weren't for us, it's questionable whether he, an orphan, could even have survived to adulthood. Moreover, we provide him with the same education and material life as our own children. As for the spiritual aspect, the old man has given him more than his own children. We believe we have done nothing to wrong him.
As for who owns the Dongfang family's possessions, you can't possibly expect us to just hand over everything we own. Even if you did, it's impossible.
As for you, since you joined the Dongfang family, have we ever mistreated you? You have everything your sister-in-law has, and since her passing, you have enjoyed even more. What more could you possibly want?
Now that you've become so ruthless, the Dongfang family doesn't welcome someone like you.
Even though Ye Lei is dead now, we won't hold it against him, but you won't receive the same treatment!
After listening, Tong Shuirong recalled the past and felt a pang of gratitude, but it couldn't change her mind.
Indeed, when she first married into the Dongfang family, her life was very happy and fulfilling.
But everything changed when her sister-in-law had both a son and a daughter, while she finally got pregnant but gave birth to a girl and was even unable to conceive for the rest of her life.
Dongfang Yelei started complaining to her more, while she blamed it all on the Dongfang family.
However, having lived under someone else's roof for so many years, she had no way to seek justice for herself, and now that even her man was gone, how could she accept her utter defeat?
She thought she was the ultimate victor, but it turned out she was just a more complete loser.
I used to laugh at my sister-in-law for dying young, saying she had bad luck.
But after all these years, she has ended up like this.
I really don't know if God is being unfair!
The old lady glanced at Tong Shuirong, then looked at Dongfang Yi and said, "Yi'er."
"Grandma." Dongfang Yi turned his gaze to the old lady.
"Such a person does not deserve to remain in my Dongfang family, nor does she deserve to have any connection with our Dongfang family whatsoever. Make them divorce and expel this venomous woman from our Dongfang family!"
Dongfang Yi was slightly taken aback. He glanced at the old man and, seeing that the old man hadn't said anything, he understood what the old man meant.
He then said, "Yes, Grandma, I'll take care of it right away."
After speaking, Dongfang Yi glanced at Chen Ran.
Chen Ran immediately understood and walked towards Tong Shui Rong.
After a long pause, Tong Shuirong finally reacted and said, "How dare you! I am Ye Lei's lawfully wedded wife. He is no longer here. None of you have the right to do this."
"This was all your conspiracy, wasn't it? You wanted me to leave the Dongfang family, so you revealed that Ye Lei wasn't of Dongfang blood, right? You wanted to take everything that belonged to Ye Lei for yourself, didn't you?"
...
"I regret giving birth to such a traitorous brat like you, otherwise I could have gotten justice for your father by tomorrow at the latest!"
"Why don't you just die!"
In the end, Tong Shuirong shifted her target to Dongfang Die.
Dongfang Die seemed not to hear.
She had already heard these words once before, and hearing them again now only made her feel cold and indifferent.
Tong Shuirong became increasingly erratic as she spoke, and the more she listened, the more her brows furrowed.
Upon hearing this, Shenqiu suddenly shouted, "Madam, that's enough!"
Tong Shuirong was startled and immediately fell silent.
Everyone looked at Shenqiu.
Shen Qiu said with a serious expression, "Madam, Master has never truly loved you! He only married you because he needed you to have children for him!"
"Impossible, you're talking nonsense! Ye Lei loves me, he loves me!" Tong Shuirong denied.
Shen Qiu continued, "Then, Madam, do you know what Master was doing at the airport when he had the accident?"
Tong Shuirong, "Where are you going?"
