Dong Qiu had never seen her own son, Diandian, treat her like this before; usually, her father was always the fierce older brother.

Feeling wronged, she pouted and large tears streamed down her face, yet she still cried and tried to defend herself.

"Father, you were there when their two children came over. How could I have had time to do anything to them? I'm your own daughter, how can you not trust me in front of outsiders?"

Looking at his daughter's injured expression, Dong Jianshan looked at Mo Qianshang with great difficulty.

“My daughter Xiaoqiu said she never did it.”

Seeing that Mo Qianshang's body was getting colder and colder, Dong Jianshan had no choice but to try to make amends.

"Of course, I also know that you, Miss Mo, are not the type to cause trouble. Perhaps you came here because you heard some gossip."

"How about this, you tell me who is lying to you, and I'll go find them so we can confront them together."

In normal circumstances, if you encounter someone who gossips, this would be a good solution.

After all, those kinds of people are guilty and definitely wouldn't dare to come.

The current situation is not suitable. All of this was analyzed by Mo Qianshang. Even the fact that Dong Qiu was the one who poisoned him was determined by observing Dong Qiu's reaction just now.

She curled her lips into a slight smile and shook her head. "Nobody said anything to me."

“But as a hunter, you should know that there are no snakes around here, and my two children were poisoned by snake venom.”

Mo Qianshang was telling the truth. Dong Jianshan would check the surroundings before each hunt and had indeed never found any trace of snakes.

Just as he was about to nod, Mo Qianshang continued with a stern face, "If I remember correctly, your family should have a snake, and I heard that its venom is quite potent. Why don't we find a small prey to test it on, and then we'll know whether the venom my son has is the same kind as the venom of your snake?"

The fact that Mo Qianshang didn't suggest letting Dong Qiu test the poison was already a sign of mercy from Mo Qianshang, considering that Dong Qiu was a child.

Dong Jianshan would definitely not agree to that, so she simply considered it as accumulating good karma for the children.

Upon hearing this, before Dong Jianshan could even reply, Dong Qiu involuntarily stepped forward and tugged hard at Dong Jianshan's sleeve, her eyes filled with trepidation.

“Father, it fled famine with us when it was little and didn’t get to eat anything good. Now it’s very weak from hunger. If we were to torture it to extract the snake venom, we would be killing it!”

"Father, I'm begging you, that was a gift my mother left me, I don't want anything to happen to the little snake." Dong Qiu had just cried, and her eyes were still red, making her look particularly pitiful.

But the more Dong Qiu tried to stop her, the more certain Mo Qianshang became, deliberately mocking and provoking her.

“If a snake is so important to you, what about the lives of my two sons? If it weren’t for Madam Yao by my side, my two sons would probably be dead today.”

"What's a snake anyway?"

When Dong Qiu described the gift left by the other party's mother as so insignificant, her tears, which she had just stopped, welled up again.

This time, however, she didn't cry out. Instead, she clenched her teeth tightly, as if they would break if she exerted even the slightest bit more force.

On one side was his own daughter, and on the other was Mo Qianshang, who had almost lost her son that day. Dong Jianshan was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

Just as he was struggling with his decision, Qin Baiyi, who was almost unnoticed, suddenly tapped his toes lightly and flashed around to grab a python as thick as half an arm.

Mo Qianshang was greatly shocked. This was the so-called little snake?

Previously, she only knew from the original owner's memories that Dong Jianshan's family kept snakes, but the original owner had never seen what the snakes actually looked like.

Seeing the python's lively and energetic appearance, Mo Qianshang curled her lips in mockery once again.

"This is what you call weakness? You should really go and see what's going on with my two children."

However, she did not intend to give Dong Jianshan another chance to speak, and directly gave Qin Baiyi a look.

"Since your snake isn't weak right now, we can take some venom to test it. If the symptoms are different, I'll apologize to you in front of the whole village and give your weak little snake ten pheasants as food."

She deliberately emphasized the word "weak," and her sharp gaze fixed on Dong Qiu for a moment.

As a result, Dong Qiu didn't dare to look her in the eye, and instead lowered her head to stare at the ground with resentment.

Since things had come to this point, Dong Jianshan had no choice but to agree and let Mo Qianshang go and catch small prey for the experiment.

Using the bushes as cover, she bought a small white rabbit from the mall that was specifically used for experiments and fed it some of the snake venom that Qin Baiyi had just removed.

Before long, the little rabbit, just like the two children, was vomiting and weak, and even the deep purple color of its wound was the same.

"Dong Jianshan, now you should have nothing more to say. Ask your daughter what she did."

Mo Qianshang's tone finally dropped to freezing point, sending chills down everyone's spines. Dong Jianshan, who already felt ashamed, felt even more uncomfortable.

He raised his hand and slapped Dong Qiu across the face. "You bastard! How did your father teach you? What have you done?!"

"I didn't, this wicked woman is framing me..."

Before she could finish speaking, another crisp slap landed, leaving a red and swollen handprint on Dong Qiu's pale face.

Her temper flared up completely, and she pointed at Mo Qianshang, yelling and shouting.

"Father, how could you do this to me? I only hurt those two bastards because of you!"

"Father is so good, yet that woman is so arrogant and rejects you. And those two bastards, coming here to put on airs, aren't they just trying to show off that they have a mother?"

"What's so great about it! I'll let them try what my mother left behind. I also have a mother to protect me!"

"How could you become like this..." Dong Jianshan looked at his daughter, who was almost insane, in disbelief. His knees buckled and he knelt on the ground, his whole being exuding frustration.

After his wife left, he thought he was taking good care of the two children, and he would give them any good things he could get his hands on.

The reason I wanted to find Mo Qianshang to be my second wife this time was because I thought she was a good person, good at raising children, and would definitely be good to the two children.

Unexpectedly, this provoked her daughter's resentment and madness...

"Father was wrong. Father shouldn't have acted so impulsively that day. But no matter what, you shouldn't have done that! Quickly apologize to your Aunt Mo!"

"I don't know!" Dong Qiu raised his neck and denied it, a maniacal laugh on his lips.

"They came to me to brag, they brought it on themselves! Snake venom must be awful, right? In two days at most, they'll all be dead, hehe!"

"My mother will take care of them for me down there. Whether they're alive or dead, they won't have an easy time!"

"You bastard!" Dong Jianshan raised his hand and slapped his daughter again, then turned around and kowtowed to Mo Qianshang.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not raising my daughter well! But I just can't bring myself to hurt her. If you want someone to pay for it with their life, I'll do it!"
