Carrying the medicine given to her by Yin Yali, Deng Wei left the study on the third floor and returned to her bedroom. She tossed and turned in bed all night, barely getting any rest. After much deliberation, she finally followed Aunt Li's plan and decided to administer the medicine as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if Bai Qin finds valid evidence, they probably won't even have the chance to step into the Bai family villa again, let alone take these actions.

Since we're going to gamble anyway, let's go big and maximize our profits.

The next day, while Bai Xiuye ​​was having breakfast, she prepared the medicine in advance, intending to put it in the milk. To do so, she added extra sugar as a disguise.

Unfortunately, the man had an urgent meeting and hadn't eaten breakfast, so he wouldn't be home until the afternoon and didn't make a move. To avoid suspicion, Yin Yali went out early in the morning to meet other wealthy women, waiting for Deng Wei to finish dealing with the old man and return home to take charge.

Before leaving, I was startled to see the woman sitting on the bedroom carpet with the door half-closed.

"what are you doing here?"

In her mind, the woman must have already committed the crime and was hiding in the room looking frightened, unsure of what to do next. She smiled slightly, intending to put down her bag and ask her some questions.

"Mr. Bai left without even having breakfast, saying he wouldn't be home until the afternoon. I went to learn how to make cakes from Sister Liu, and while I was at it, I sprinkled the medicine on him and gave it to him to eat."

Sister Liu is the aunt in the family who specializes in making desserts after meals. She is very skilled and everyone loves to eat them. Even Bai Qin was completely impressed by her skills.

Deng Wei also wanted to take this opportunity to learn a bit and say some nice things so that Bai Xiuye ​​would definitely accept them.

"Alright, I got it. In that case, you stay home. I'll go out and find someone to make a fake will, and then we'll split the inheritance equally."

Yin Yali's face darkened, and she slung her bag up over her shoulder again before heading out to leave.

"What fake will? Didn't you say this packet of medicine wouldn't kill him?"

Deng Wei seemed to have thought of something, and her mind raced:

"You're lying to me, aren't you? You just want to use me to get rid of Mr. Bai. Even if someone investigates, they won't be able to trace it back to you."

She fumbled for the location of the Tibetan medicine, intending to get rid of this hot potato.

"You're overthinking it. Do you think I'd take advantage of you? If I really wanted to do this, I would have resolved it when Bai Qin was young. Why wait until now? Besides, the child was young then, and there was no one in the family who could uphold justice."

Unlike now, where I not only have to be wary of that brat Bai Qin, but also of that woman named Jiang Yu coming to claim kinship. I'll be dealing with both of them by myself then; it's not as simple as before.”

Yin Yali rolled her eyes, her disdainful expression convincing Deng Wei. She stopped trying to decipher the woman's thoughts and instead asked about the meaning behind her words:

"So what did you mean by the will you just mentioned?"

"You misspoke, you misspoke. It's not a will, it's property. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. You're just too sensitive."

Giving a slap followed by a sweet treat was Yin Yali's consistent approach. Seeing Deng Wei's skeptical look, she knew that a few kind words would resolve the matter easily.

Deng Wei didn't say anything more. In her mind, her mind was made up anyway. Even if Bai Xiuye ​​really got into trouble, she could still frame Yin Yali for the crime.

After all, the medicine and the idea both came from her. He did nothing but carry them out.

Seeing that she was no longer paying attention to her, Yin Yali bent down, patted the woman's shoulder, and left.

Now that you know her plan, don't ask any more questions, otherwise you'll really be unable to clear your name later.

Deng Wei tidied herself up quickly, went downstairs to find Sister Liu, and explained her plans. Sister Liu readily agreed and took out the ingredients to start preparing.

Once the butter is mixed and the cake base is baked, it's time to begin.

There was still plenty of time, and by the time the preparations were finished, it was already afternoon. Deng Wei also managed to slip the medicine into the cake base when Sister Liu wasn't looking; it was so subtle that most people wouldn't even notice.

After doing all that, she put her hands behind her back and began to learn from Sister Liu with great seriousness. Her humble and eager-to-learn demeanor was completely different from when she occasionally threw a tantrum. No one doubted it; they simply thought the young lady had grown up.

'Whoosh~'

When the cake was halfway done, the courtyard gate swung open. A car horn sounded, and someone outside called out, "Young Master!"

Deng Wei, with her keen hearing, nearly dropped her cream when she heard Bai Qin's voice returning.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Noticing that she looked unwell, Sister Liu offered words of comfort.

"It's nothing, let's continue."

Deng Wei put the bowl of cream back on the table, a sense of unease creeping into her mind. Didn't Yin Yali say he wouldn't be coming back? What was he doing home today, and at this particular time? Could it be that she'd already discovered her plans to do something bad?

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, to the point of panic. At that moment, if someone gently tapped her on the shoulder from behind, she would probably have a heart attack.

Bai Qin was unaware of what had happened at home. He parked his car in the yard, intending to grab his things and leave.

Time was of the essence, so he opened the living room door and went straight upstairs without even seeing Deng Wei in the kitchen.

Before going home, he inquired about the situation at home and only after learning that Bai Xiuye ​​was not there did he swagger home.

He opened the bedroom door and found it clean and tidy, without a speck of dust. He went to the bedside; the pillow had been turned over countless times, but he couldn't find a single hair.

As I scratched my head, trying to figure out what to do next, the advice from my doctor friend flashed through my mind:

"If you really can't find any hair, a toothbrush will do."

Without a moment's hesitation, he went to the bedroom bathroom, found his dad's toothbrush, and put it in a transparent plastic bag.

Then, he opened the door, instructed the servants to restore the room to its original state, and then went downstairs.

Upon hearing the voice, Deng Wei sensed that her true identity might be exposed soon. Without further hesitation, she started making a cake with resentment in her heart.

With plenty of time, they finished the product as dusk approached. Both of them nodded in satisfaction, and Sister Liu even gave her a special compliment.

Deng Wei smiled and memorized the area marked with the maximum dosage, planning to cut it for Bai Xiuye ​​later.

Thinking to myself:

'Bai Qin, since you won't let me have an easy time, then I'll seize your family fortune and leave you fatherless.'

A short while later, sounds came from outside. Bai Xiuye ​​and Yin Yali had returned together, and she had heard their conversation clearly.
