Chapter 612 Zhong Yi, You Are Not a Good Person Either
That person noticed that Zhong Lingxiao's gaze was also somewhat evasive.
When I entered the room, I respectfully called her "Old Lady".
The old lady of the Zhong family looked at the two half-brothers in front of her and said, "Lingxiao, Ayi asked you if you have found the culprit who drugged me. Why don't you say anything?"
"I……"
Zhong Lingxiao originally wanted to make some excuses to shirk responsibility, but when he saw the person who was brought in, he immediately dared not make up any more lies.
Old Mrs. Zhong said coldly, "Kneel down."
Zhong Lingxiao knelt straight on the ground.
Old Mrs. Zhong pointed her cane at the waiter who was brought in and said, "Tell me everything clearly. Don't keep any secrets."
"Yes, old lady."
The attendant's body was shaking like a sieve, and he said in a trembling voice: "I was in charge of the drinks at the engagement banquet. Someone found me this morning and gave me 100,000 in cash and a packet of medicine. He said that I should find the right opportunity to put the packet of medicine into Master Zhong's glass. I... I was careful at the time and even took a picture of that person. But... I never found the opportunity to put the medicine in."
He took out his cell phone and the housekeeper took it and showed it to the old lady.
The old lady turned away her eyes, without even glancing at him, and ordered, "Take him away and keep him under good care."
"Yes, old lady."
Zhong Lingxiao knelt on the ground, his knees aching. He was in a state of panic, and was even more shocked by what the attendant said.
What does it mean that he didn't find an opportunity to drug her?
Is Zhong Yi playing tricks again?
Suddenly, a cane hit his thigh: "Kneel down."
Zhong Lingxiao gritted his teeth and straightened his back. He really didn't understand how Zhong Yi could keep kneeling.
Old Mrs. Zhong spoke slowly: "Ling Xiao, don't you have anything to say to me? You should know that once I have a suspicion, there is no truth that cannot be found out."
Zhong Lingxiao's face turned pale: "Old lady, I don't know what you are talking about."
"Butler, slap your face."
Old Mrs. Zhong said coldly.
The housekeeper, on behalf of the old lady, walked up and slapped Zhong Lingxiao on the cheek.
A palm print soon appeared on Zhong Lingxiao's handsome face.
Old Mrs. Zhong pointed at the two brothers with her cane and said, "One of you is two-faced and has evil intentions, while the other is taking advantage of the situation and has other intentions. Neither of you brothers can rest assured."
"Zhong Lingxiao, when you hired someone to drug your own brother and caused him to be embarrassed, did you ever think about the reputation of the Zhong family? You brought so many people to catch the adulterer, making the marriage between the two families a joke. Have you ever considered the interests of the Zhong family? Since I brought the person to the Zhong family, I have evidence that you did it, so don't deny it anymore."
"I...but the servant said he didn't find an opportunity to drug me." Zhong Lingxiao's voice became softer and softer as he defended himself.
Someone made the same choice as him.
And it worked!
Old Lady Zhong hit him hard on the back with her cane: "If your people had succeeded, you wouldn't have kneeled down in front of me to repent. If you had this idea, you should have hidden it. It's wrong for me to catch you in the act."
He just thought that Zhong Lingxiao was not smart enough, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with using tricks.
There is only one heir, so competition is normal. But the means of competition cannot affect the Zhong family, and don't let others catch you even if you have the ability.
Zhong Lingxiao felt that he was wronged and kept silent.
Zhong Yi smiled slightly, and Old Lady Zhong walked up to him and said coldly, "What are you laughing at? You are not a good person either."
"Old lady, I am a victim."
"How can you be called a victim? You have been very smart since you were a child. I don't believe you can't escape from tonight's situation. You clearly want to piss me off for getting you engaged to Lu Yingxue. I know exactly what you are thinking."
Old Lady Zhong warned: "Don't forget what I said. If you think about that woman again, I will take action myself."
Zhong Yi put away the smile on his face and looked at the old lady quietly.
"Kneel down."
Old Mrs. Zhong ordered in a cold voice.
He picked up his cane and hit Zhong Yi hard on the back, once, twice.
The blows hit the flesh without mercy.
Bang!
Bang!
Twenty times in total!
Zhong Yi gritted her teeth and didn't make any sound. She was even in the mood to tease him at the end: "Grandma, the doctor said that I was weak from the drugs and it would be easy to damage my foundation. If I really can't have children, you can only put all your hopes on my eldest brother."
"Miscellaneous things always make people angry."
After giving a cold sneer, Old Lady Zhong took out her walking stick and hit Zhong Lingxiao hard.
Zhong Lingxiao's delicate skin couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, and Zhong Yi turned around to look at him with a teasing look in his eyes.
Bang!
Zhong Lingxiao was so angry that he endured the twenty blows.
Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and he looked very frail. He was much older than Zhong Yi, and his physical condition was not as good as his.
After the beating, he could no longer hold on.
But Old Lady Zhong was determined to teach them a lesson. She said, "Kneel down in the ancestral hall and confess your sins to your ancestors. You cannot come out without my permission. No one can give them a sip of water or a bite of food. I want you to remember that internal strife is allowed, but you cannot harm the interests of the Zhong family."
"Take him away!"
He spoke loudly.
The bodyguards dragged Zhong Yi and Zhong Lingxiao up and took them directly to the Zhong family ancestral hall. Two cushions were placed in front of the two of them, and the housekeeper stood aside with a stern face, looking like he would keep an eye on them.
Zhong Yi and Zhong Lingxiao felt pain all over their bodies, but they still had to kneel straight.
Zhong Lingxiao lost the gentleness he showed in front of outsiders, and said with a sullen face: "My people didn't find the opportunity to attack, so where did you get the poison? Are you trying to drag me into this and play a trick of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting yourself by eight hundred?"
He had always known that this illegitimate child was decisive and ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to himself.
I like being able to do this!
Zhong Lingxiao still kept the old lady's words in mind. What kind of woman is Zhong Yi thinking about!
Is that a soft spot?
Zhong Yi looked straight ahead and said calmly, "If you want to think so, I can't help it."
This was a bit outrageous, and it made Zhong Lingxiao even more angry.
He took a deep breath and said, "Zhongyi, don't forget the conditions set by the old lady for the successor. Lin Xifei is pregnant, and the doctor said that the baby is very healthy. Can you get this ticket before the end of the year?"
Zhong Yi glanced at him indifferently, with an inexplicable smile in her eyes: "Then you must keep this ticket. If I can't get it, I might go crazy and attack the pregnant woman."
"you……"
Zhong Lingxiao didn't expect him to be so direct.
It seems that he has to protect Lin Xifei well and not let Zhong Yi succeed.
Zhong Yi looked at his expression and smiled faintly.
It's best to protect Lin Xifei tightly, but there's still a hurdle to overcome with the old lady.
After three months, a DNA test will be conducted to determine whether Zhong Lingxiao's admission ticket is valid.
It's all up to him!
After all, he knew best who Lin Xifei's child was.
