Chapter 707
She is now filled with lingering fear.
So if she hadn't thought the osmanthus honey looked good, and then Qu Dun hadn't snatched it away, she would be the one who looks like this now!
Shen Rang grasped her hand in return, unable to utter a word for a moment.
He was also afraid.
As the hostess, Madam Cheng's expression was extremely grim.
Someone actually did this at her banquet!
If this isn't handled properly, the Cheng family might have no place to stand in Luoyang in the future!
"Investigate!" Madam Cheng shouted sternly. "Investigate thoroughly everyone who has come and gone from the manor recently!"
"yes!"
Madam Cheng sent out her trusted confidantes, while she forced herself to remain calm and invited the guests to sit down.
However, faced with all the delicious food in front of them, no one could muster any interest anymore.
Who knows if I might accidentally eat something and become the next Qu Dun?
The lingering stench of blood constantly reminded everyone, keeping them on high alert and preventing them from letting their guard down.
——
Fortunately, the servants of the Cheng family were not to be trifled with; in no time, they brought one of them over.
Huo Zhao raised an eyebrow as soon as he saw the man's face.
Isn't this an old acquaintance?
Kneel down!
At this moment, the servant had no intention of showing any mercy to the woman. He kicked Pearl in the back of the knee, forcing her to kneel on the ground.
Madam Cheng frowned: "Who are you? Why did you do such a thing at my Cheng family's banquet, harming my Cheng family!"
Pearl sneered, "The Cheng family? What is the Cheng family anyway! If your family has anything to blame, blame the unlucky person who came to this banquet!"
An ominous person?
The group exchanged glances for a moment, then followed Pearl's gaze to Huo Zhao.
Shen Rang stepped forward, blocking Pearl's crazed gaze.
Unexpectedly, Pearl went even crazier when she saw Chen Rang.
She suddenly began to struggle, and the servant almost couldn't hold her down: "If it weren't for that bitch, how could our young lady have ended up like this! Young Master, you are our young lady's husband! But from the very beginning, you have never had a place for our young lady in your heart! Now you are still protecting this bitch, how can you face our young lady's sincere heart?!"
Shen Rang scoffed, "Don't waste the word 'sincere.' Everyone knows why your daughter was divorced. Now that you've done it, why are you talking about sincerity?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several more snickers rang out from around him.
That's right.
Everyone knows about Yun Wan's affair now.
Her debauchery in the inner quarters is an undeniable fact, and even her lover has come forward to admit it. There's nothing more to say. Now, to talk about sincerity or not is simply laughable.
Pearl's face turned ashen: "So what? If you hadn't been unfaithful first, how could my young lady have done such a thing! In the end, it's still your fault!"
Shen Rang no longer wanted to talk to her.
Wasting time.
Shen Rang turned around and said to Madam Cheng, "Madam, the person who poisoned us has been caught. We should deal with him as soon as possible in front of everyone to put people at ease."
