His face instantly stiffened, his eyes darted away, and his body, which had been struggling, suddenly froze, clearly indicating that his sore spot had been hit.
Shen Qingtang took in both of their reactions and already knew the answer in her heart: Wei Yao's madness.
It's definitely related to Fatty Lin.
She looked at Wei Yao more closely and noticed a faint red mark on her neck. The shape of the mark was somewhat similar to the black worm that Xiaoping had turned into before.
Shen Qingtang gently rubbed her fingertips together, a guess forming in her mind: Wei Yao was probably under the influence of a Gu poison, her mind controlled by the Gu worm.
That's why he sometimes acts crazy and sometimes clear-headed.
And the root cause that triggered her.
It's Fatty Lin and that abandoned house.
Before Shen Qingtang could think any further, Wei Yao suddenly broke free from Wei Zheng's hand and ran towards the door, shouting, "The bugs are coming! Run! We're all going to be eaten!"
She ran so fast and fast that she almost knocked over a table in the inn, startling the people around her who quickly moved aside.
Wei Zheng quickly chased after her, shouting as he ran, "Yao Yao! Don't run! Wait for your brother!" He felt both anxious and heartbroken seeing his sister's out-of-control state.
When she looked at Fatty Lin again, a hint of suspicion appeared in her eyes. Could it be that Shen Qingtang was telling the truth? Was her sister's illness really related to Fatty Lin?
Shen Qingtang stood there, coldly looking at Fatty Lin: "Now what do you have to say? Miss Wei's reaction, and your expression just now, aren't they enough to explain the problem?"
Fatty Lin swallowed hard, forcing himself to remain calm as he shouted, "I don't know! I didn't do anything! She's gone mad, it has nothing to do with me!"
But his voice grew softer and softer.
The fear in his eyes grew more and more obvious, and anyone could tell he was lying.
Taking advantage of everyone's attention being on Fatty Lin, Lu Jiaojiao quietly slipped out of the inn and found Wei Yao trembling in a corner.
She squatted down next to Wei Yao, her voice deliberately seductive: "Sister Wei, do you know? It's all Shen Qingtang's fault that you've become so crazy!"
Seeing that Wei Yao didn't react, she leaned closer and repeated several times, "She secretly sabotaged you, otherwise why would you suddenly go crazy? She just can't stand to see you doing well, so she deliberately ruined you!"
Wei Yao's originally empty eyes gradually ignited with the flames of hatred under Lu Jiaojiao's repeated provocations, and she began to mutter to herself, "Shen Qingtang... it's Shen Qingtang..." The resentment in her tone was completely different from her previous madness.
All of this was witnessed by the Second Prince, who happened to be passing by. He hid behind a tree and watched as Lu Jiaojiao instigated Wei Yao to change her expression with just a few words.
I was both surprised and delighted.
He didn't expect that Lu Jiaojiao, though just a child...
Yet he has such a vicious mind and the ability to stir up trouble. Such a person is perfect to be won over and used to deal with Shen Qingtang.
At this moment, Shen Qingtang in the inn was sorting through the clues.
Lin Pangzi's unusual behavior, Wei Yao's Gu worm mark, the abandoned mansion in the south of the city... before she could even sort out all the clues.
Wei Yao suddenly rushed in with a dagger, her speed catching everyone off guard, and went straight for Shen Qingtang!
"Shen Qingtang! You ruined me! You sent people to ruin my innocence! I'm going to kill you!" Wei Yao roared, her eyes bloodshot, as she thrust the dagger straight into Shen Qingtang's heart.
"Stop!" Wei Zheng was shocked and furious, but it was too late to stop them. At this critical moment...
