Curious glances immediately fell upon them. Old Master Fu, seemingly defending Gu Momo, actually had a look of anticipation, as if he were watching a good show.
"Sichun, Momo is one of our Fu family members. Don't say anything carelessly."
"That's right, Sichun. Momo has only just arrived at our Fu family. What kind of things can she possibly do?"
Everyone quickly chimed in to help, but Gu Momo couldn't detect the gloating in their tone.
She smiled slightly, but her chilling gaze etched the faces of everyone present into their minds.
There are only two grandfathers in the Fu family: Old Master Fu and Second Master Fu. It is said that Old Master Fu is currently recuperating, so only Second Master Fu is here tonight.
Grandpa Fu had four sons and one daughter. Gu Momo's father, Fu Jinye, was the eldest son, and her aunt, Fu Yunxin, was the fifth daughter. At this moment, apart from Fu Jinye and Fu Yunxin, everyone else had come.
Gu Momo smiled faintly as she swept her gaze over the crowd. According to Gu Zhenting, Wanrou was a child of the Fu family.
So, whose child is Wanrou?
Gu Zhenting's biological daughter, and which young lady is she here?
Fu Sichun, who had been pampered since childhood and was used to being arrogant and domineering, could not tolerate the Fu family protecting Gu Momo like this. She raised her eyebrows and said, "When Gu Momo first came to the Fu family, I felt that she had ulterior motives, so I followed her late at night."
"But do you know what I just saw? Gu Momo secretly broke into the ancestral home and stole the luminous jade hidden in the safe! I was so scared that I didn't dare to scream. I could only secretly call everyone here to catch them red-handed! If you don't believe me, go ahead and investigate!"
The moment her arrogant voice rang out, everyone around gasped and the atmosphere froze.
The luminous jade in the safe of the main house was passed down from the first head of the Fu family. It has been passed down for hundreds of years and its value and significance are far beyond what money can measure. What would happen if it were stolen?
The Fu family members immediately became anxious: "Gu Momo, tell me honestly, is the Night-Shining Jade in your hands?"
Fu Sichun's mother, Jiang Yalan, was the most vocal: "Since Sichun has said so, then she must be right! If Gu Momo hadn't done something shameful, why would she come to the Fu family's forbidden area in the middle of the night? Gu Momo, hand over the luminous jade right now!"
All the sharp gazes around her fell on Gu Momo, but the smile on Gu Momo's face became even brighter and more dazzling.
She chuckled softly, "Oh? You're so sure I stole it, so you must have evidence?"
"Of course! I saw you steal it with my own eyes, how could I not know where you hid it?"
Hearing Gu Momo say that, Fu Sichun immediately curled up a smug sneer. She walked arrogantly to Gu Momo and reached into Gu Momo's pocket in front of everyone, and sure enough, she pulled out a string of precious jade!
The bluish-green halo immediately and gently melted into the night, revealing the truth to everyone.
The crowd immediately became agitated: "It really is! Gu Momo, how dare you!"
"The luminous jade has always been possessed only by successive heirs of the Fu family, symbolizing the supreme status of the Fu family's heirs! How dare you steal the luminous jade from the Fu family's ancestral home!"
"Everyone saw it! How can someone like this be qualified to be a member of the Fu family? Gu Momo, although you are the eldest brother's daughter, you have not learned any lessons from the Fu family over the years. Your character has gone astray, and you are not qualified to stay in the Fu family!"
Fu Sichun's move directly provoked public outrage, and the Second Master Fu's face turned ashen, while he was also gloating.
Of course, the happiest people here are Fu Sichun and her mother Jiang Yalan.
"Really?" Gu Momo smiled elegantly on her beautiful face. "But what if I can prove that I didn't take it?"
Jiang Yalan couldn't help but sneer: "That's absolutely hilarious! The evidence is irrefutable, Gu Momo, you still want to argue?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Momo smiled even more beautifully on her stunningly beautiful face: "Oh dear, I seem to have forgotten to tell you, I am quite vigilant when I am out and about, and I have always liked to play with poison, so I always carry various poisons in my pocket."
“If I remember correctly, I had a deadly poison in my pocket today that can cause hands to rot. This poison is colorless and odorless, but it can cause the poison to seep into the internal organs of anyone who comes into contact with it, eventually becoming incurable. Judging by the time, the person who put the luminous jade in my pocket should have been poisoned for more than ten minutes, which is exactly when the poison takes effect. If she doesn't step forward soon, her life will probably be over…”
She glanced at Fu Sichun, who was beaming with pride, and watched as Fu Sichun's expression changed from smugness to worry, and then to fear.
"Ah!" As if startled by Gu Momo's gaze, Fu Sichun screamed and hurriedly grabbed her hand to look!
Her loud noise drew everyone's attention, revealing Fu Sichun's obvious fear.
In that instant, everyone's gaze toward Fu Sichun turned strange.
Gu Momo had just finished speaking when Fu Sichun started behaving so strangely. How could they not see something fishy going on?
"Why...why are you all looking at me like that?" Fu Sichun realized she had given herself away and her expression instantly turned panicked.
But her hands are so itchy! Could it be that Gu Momo really put poison in her pocket before?
Gu Momo's smile deepened: "Fu Sichun, so you mean you didn't put the luminous jade there? Fine, in that case, I don't need to give you the antidote. Let the thief who put the luminous jade rot away!"
As she was about to leave, Fu Sichun's heart jumped to her throat. If she didn't admit it, she might lose her hand!
"Gu Momo! You stop right there! Who said you could leave? Hand over the antidote right now!"
Ugh, her hands are so itchy! They're killing her with itchiness! What kind of poison did that damn Gu Momo use?!
Upon hearing this, everyone wanted nothing more than to poke countless holes through Fu Sichun with their eyes. Fu Sichun, what an idiot!
"Fu Sichun, you've really learned well! You've even learned how to frame someone! Yalan has raised a fine daughter!"
The Fu family has long been embroiled in internal strife, with each faction vying for greater power and desperately trying to seize control of the others.
Now that Jiang Yalan has been caught red-handed, those who used to be at odds with her naturally wish they could tear her to pieces.
Jiang Yalan was immediately silenced by the retort, suppressing her anger: "You... it's my fault for not raising our daughter well!"
"Gu Momo, what are you standing there for? Hand over your antidote right now!" Fu Sichun was furious. Her hands were bleeding from scratching. She still had money to spend. How could she die so hastily?
Gu Momo raised an eyebrow and said innocently, "Antidote? I don't have any."
