Before Mingyao could react, Wei Ning roughly pushed her away.

She stumbled, her body swaying as if she were about to fall.

At the critical moment, Pei Siyu rushed over and caught Mingyao who was about to fall.

"Are you alright?"

Mingyao nodded, still feeling a lingering fear.

After Pei Siyu helped her to a proper position, he looked at Wei Ning with a gloomy gaze.

Wei Ning, along with the servants and several other uncles from the Pei family, stormed into the old man's bedroom.

The once empty room suddenly became crowded.

Pei Siyu gripped Mingyao's hand tightly and looked at Wei Ning with a cold gaze.

"Sister-in-law, Grandpa is drinking porridge."

"Why did you bring so many people in here?"

Wei Ning sneered: "Porridge?"

She retorted sarcastically, "If I had arrived any later, would you have let this vicious woman kill the old man?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present widened their eyes in astonishment.

Pei Siyu sneered: "Sister-in-law, what evidence do you have to prove that Xiaoxue wants to harm the old man?"

"And how did you know that Xiaoxue wanted to harm the old man?"

Faced with Pei Siyu's questioning, Wei Ning pointed at the nanny.

"The nanny saw it with her own eyes!"

"This wicked woman secretly added something unclean to the porridge and vegetables while cooking!"

"Produce the evidence."

Wei Ning looked at Pei Siyu with a forced smile, "Even now, are you still going to protect this woman?"

"Pei Siyu, I'm so disappointed in you!"

Pei Siyu remained unmoved, instead shielding Mingyao tightly behind him.

"Sister-in-law, everything must be based on evidence."

“From the moment you came in until now, you’ve been saying that Xiaoxue poisoned the old man.”

"Besides the nanny as a witness, what other substantial evidence do you have?"

He stared at the nanny with a sharp gaze, the icy coldness in his eyes seeming to pierce through a person.

The nanny was startled and turned pale, avoiding Pei Siyu's gaze.

"Pei Siyu, are you trying to threaten the nanny?"

Pei Siyu said without changing his expression, "I'm just curious."

"Since she saw Xiaoxue tamper with the food, why didn't she stop her?"

"Grandpa had already eaten half of his meal, and my sister-in-law brought so many people to confront him."

"Hehe, in my opinion, sister-in-law isn't worried that grandpa ate something unclean, is she?"

A cold smile appeared on his face. "My sister-in-law is just trying to slander my wife."

Wei Ning laughed as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, her giggles sounding like silver bells.

"Pei Siyu, I have no grudge against your wife, why would I smear her?"

"Didn't you say I had no evidence?"

Wei Ning immediately called over the testing personnel and asked them to bring over the pot and vegetables that Mingyao used to stew the soup.

She curled her lips into a smile: "These contain drugs that damage nerves."

"We have the test reports, what else do you have to say?"

Wei Ning took out a stack of reports and slammed them to the ground.

Pei Siyu picked it up slowly, glanced at it twice, and then looked at Wei Ning with a deep gaze.

"Sister-in-law, it's only been half an hour since Xiaoxue made the meal for Grandpa."

"How did my sister-in-law manage to prepare all the materials so completely in just half an hour?"

Wei Ning remained calm. "I was worried about the old man's health, and I was also worried about wrongly accusing her, so I had the test done in advance."

"Now that the evidence is conclusive, Pei Siyu, are you still going to protect her?"

Mingyao, who had been silent all along, spoke with red eyes: "Sister-in-law, I didn't drug the old man!"

"The only people going in and out of the kitchen were me and the nanny, so why didn't she put the drug on me?"

The nanny immediately retorted, "Miss Su, you... you can't slander people!"

"I've served the old man for almost twenty years. If I wanted to harm him, I would have done it long ago!"

"Is it really necessary to go this far to frame you?"

Thump—

The nanny knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably as she looked at the old man.

"Old man, you must stand up for me!"

"I have worked diligently in the Pei family for twenty years and have never thought of harming you!"

"Miss Su is spouting nonsense!"

The nanny was crying her eyes out, and Pei Si, who had been watching the commotion, stepped forward.

He looked at Pei Siyu helplessly, and said, not wanting to miss the opportunity to stir up trouble, "Little brother, I'm not saying this out of spite."

“I was not satisfied when you married Su Xueya.”

"She's only been married into the family for a short time, yet she dares to frame the old man?"

Pei Siyu looked at Pei Si coldly: "Fourth Brother, what do you want to say?"

“Little brother, as your older brother, I can see that you have a special affection for Miss Su.”

"But no matter how much you like her, you can't let her harm others."

"Fortunately, my sister-in-law discovered it early and prevented her from succeeding."

What if it had been discovered a step later?

Pei Chongyang appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her: "If you really care about her, you shouldn't be covering for her at every turn."

Pei Siyu smiled insincerely: "With only the test report and the nanny's testimony, the truth of which is unknown, my sister-in-law and fourth brother want to pin such a huge blame on Xiaoxue."

"You keep saying that Xiaoxue poisoned Grandpa."

"Isn't Grandpa alright now?"

"If you're really worried, why don't you let the doctor examine Grandpa first?"

Wei Ning angrily said, "Pei Siyu, you are utterly hopeless!"

"The evidence is irrefutable, and you're still defending this woman!"

"You're so protective of her, does that mean you asked her to poison the old man?"

Mingyao found it all absurd.

This must be Wei Ning's real purpose.

It seemed like they were framing her for poisoning, but in reality, they wanted to pin the blame on Pei Siyu.

This was done to sow discord between the old man and Pei Siyu.

It must be said that her methods were very clever, but unfortunately she made a mistake.
