Pei Siyu gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I will always be by your side."
Mingyao bit her lower lip and nodded vigorously.
She mustered her courage, took out her phone, and began playing the recorded video in full view of everyone.
In the video, the nanny appeared in the frame several times. When Mingyao was not around, the nanny took the opportunity to sprinkle some white powder into the porridge and vegetables.
When the truth came out, the nanny's legs went weak and she knelt on the ground.
Pei Siyu looked down at the nanny from his superior position. "Who is behind this, instructing you?"
"Considering how many years you've served the old man, if you confess, I might spare your life!"
"If you're still stubborn and won't admit it, then I'll have to use some methods to pry your mouth open!"
The nanny began kowtowing, tears streaming down her face: "Old man, no one is behind my back!"
"It was me, I was bewitched!"
The old man's face was gloomy, and he remained silent.
Pei Siyu continued, "If I remember correctly, you came to the Pei family with your sister-in-law back then."
"Back then you even said that your sister-in-law was your benefactor."
"Did your sister-in-law instruct you to do this?"
The nanny's eyes widened and she kept shaking her head: "Madam Wei is only doing what's best for the old man. She didn't instruct me!"
"Then what was your purpose in poisoning the old man?"
"The old man has treated you well over the years, allowing your family to live in a small villa."
He spoke slowly and deliberately, each word he uttered seeming to be coated with ice shards, chillingly cold.
"I think your son is still studying abroad."
The nanny's face was ashen, and she stammered, "Yes, the old man treats me well!"
"But I poisoned the old man to repay a debt of gratitude!"
Through her teary eyes, she looked at Wei Ning and said, "Madam Wei has been kind to me!"
"The old man didn't give Madam Wei a kind look and often scolded her."
"I was so angry that I wanted to slander Miss Su..."
The nanny kowtowed twice more: "It's all my fault, I'm willing to accept the punishment."
She raised her hand, her smile bitter.
Wei Ning's eyes were bloodshot, and he slapped the nanny across the face.
The nanny slumped to the ground, motionless.
"I'm so disappointed in you!"
"When will I need you to repay my kindness?"
"Even if you're repaying a debt of gratitude, is the way you repay it to harm the old man?"
"I trusted you so much, letting you stay by the old man's side all this time!"
The nanny covered her swollen face and kept apologizing.
Pei Siyu looked at the old man: "Grandpa, what do you want to do?"
The old man rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
"Xiao Pei, the biggest victims in this matter are you and Xiao Xue."
"I'm tired, you guys handle it."
"yes!"
Pei Siyu said coldly, "Guards, arrest the nanny."
He glanced at Wei Ning with a chilling smile: "I want to interrogate her personally and see if the nanny has done anything to betray the old man over the years!"
The nanny had her bodyguards lift her up and drag her out.
Wei Ning tried his best to keep smiling: "Xiao Pei, you've done a great service for the old man!"
"Sister-in-law, don't be so polite."
“If this incident hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have known that my grandfather had so many people loyal to my sister-in-law.”
"Sigh, what if other people, like the nanny, were to target the old man out of concern that their sister-in-law would be mistreated?"
"Just to be on the safe side, all the servants in the Pei family must be checked."
A fierce glint flashed in Wei Ning's eyes, which he quickly concealed behind a stiff smile.
"Hehe, Xiao Pei is so thoughtful."
"The Pei family has so many servants; it would be a huge undertaking to conduct background checks on all of them."
"What's a little wasted time if it's for Grandpa's safety?"
Wei Ning pursed her lips tightly, "Okay, please take good care of the old man."
She turned and left.
"Youngest son, you've really gone through a lot of trouble for Grandpa."
Pei Chongyang patted Pei Siyu on the shoulder twice and said with a smile, "With you here, the old man will definitely live to be a hundred years old."
Pei Siyu indifferently slapped Pei Chongyang's hand away, "My relationship with Fourth Brother isn't that good yet."
Pei Chongyang's smile froze. "We're all family, it's too formal to be so distant."
"It seems I should visit you more often in the future to strengthen our relationship."
"No."
"I don't need to build any emotional connection with you."
Pei Chongyang's smile vanished, and he left awkwardly.
Mingyao watched his retreating figure with some worry: "Aren't you afraid he'll do something bad behind my back?"
"Won't."
"He won't make a move until the time is right."
Pei Siyu's tone was very light, as if floating in the air.
Mingyao felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
They're clearly family, yet they scheme against each other to this extent.
Mingyao couldn't imagine how tough it must have been for Pei Siyu to grow up in such an environment.
If it weren't for Old Master Pei, Pei Siyu would probably have been completely taken advantage of by those people.
She tenderly took Pei Siyu's hand and gently leaned on his shoulder.
"Honey, no matter what happens in the future, I will be with you."
Pei Siyu hugged Mingyao tightly.
At this moment, Zhang Peng rushed over.
"Mr. Pei, the nanny..."
He paused for a moment: "He committed suicide by overdosing on pills."
Pei Siyu's face immediately darkened, and he strode after Zhang Peng into the courtyard.
The bodyguard had just brought the nanny out when the nanny suddenly went berserk and bit the bodyguard.
Taking advantage of their momentary lapse in attention, the nanny swallowed a deadly poison.
Seeing the lifeless nanny, Pei Siyu angrily clenched his fist and slammed it against the pillar.
