Chapter 432 The Man Behind the Scenes
As soon as these three words came out, Li Yiqiu's already pale face suddenly became even paler and somewhat transparent, and there was even a faint hint of grayness in her face.
If she had thought that Zhong Nianyao was lying to her just now, she now believed it completely. Because she was the only one who knew that Zhong Nianyao's heart blood was used to treat her son's illness. She hadn't even told her husband. Now that Zhong Nianyao knew about the heart blood, she must have known that she did it on purpose.
No wonder other people looked at her with such strange eyes. No wonder her husband, who had just been defending her, was silent now. It turned out that—
It turned out that everyone already knew that she did it on purpose and also knew the purpose of her doing so.
"Second Aunt, who told you to do this?" Zhong Nianyao pressed again, "Who taught you to use my heart's blood to treat illnesses? And why must it be my heart's blood?"
This is what she urgently wants to know now, who is plotting against her behind the scenes.
It was obvious that this incident was targeting her. The person behind this was eyeing her covetously, so she naturally had to find out.
However, she also felt that the chances of finding the person hiding in the dark were not high. Because during the hypnosis just now, Li Yiqiu hadn't been able to identify the person. Now it would be even more difficult to ask.
"I--" Li Yiqiu opened her mouth, wanting to defend herself.
However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say.
"Second Aunt." Zhong Nianyao looked at Li Yiqiu fiercely, then said, "Everyone knows what you did now. Do you think there's any need to hide it?"
At this point, Li Yiqiu knew she couldn't keep it a secret any longer, so she decided to tell the truth. However, for some reason, she couldn't remember who had taught her this. She didn't even know where this idea came from, whether it was someone else who taught her or if she had seen it somewhere.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt her head start to throb. Her mind was blank and she couldn't remember anything at all.
In the end, the only thing she could remember was that as long as she could get Zhong Nian Yao's heart blood, her son would be able to recover.
Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao looked at each other, and saw solemnity in each other's eyes. Obviously, they also guessed that Li Yiqiu didn't remember anything.
It seemed that Li Yiqiu's sudden madness was not an accident, but inevitable. As long as Li Yiqiu was ready to reveal who was behind the plot, the memory of that person would completely disappear from her mind.
Someone who could do this could not be an ordinary person. This person was not only a cultivator, but also had a high level of cultivation.
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Zhong Mingyu, who was standing by, didn't know Li Yiqiu's situation and just kept urging her, "You did something like this. Quickly tell the person who instigated you. You might even be able to atone for your crime. Otherwise, no one will forgive you."
Li Yiqiu's face was transparently pale. She lowered her head and spoke in a low voice, almost inaudible. "I... I don't remember."
This was not a lie, nor was it her excuse, but the truth. She really had forgotten.
"You—" Zhong Mingyu didn't believe what Li Yiqiu said. He looked very disappointed. "I don't know what to say to you. Even at this point, you're still trying to hide it."
"I didn't." Li Yiqiu quickly shook her head and denied it. "I really don't remember. I don't know where I heard about this method. I just wanted to try it. This is all for our son!"
"Oh, sister-in-law, do you believe what you're saying?" Zheng Siling said sarcastically, "You're even capable of taking blood from a person's heart, yet now you're saying you heard this nonsense from somewhere."
"If you really heard it from somewhere, then why did it have to be Nian Yao's blood?" Zheng Siling found it amusing. "Or is it because you once begged Nian Yao to help your son, but Nian Yao couldn't help, so you hold a grudge and did this on purpose?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately remembered that incident. Li Yiqiu had stubbornly believed that Zhong Nianyao would definitely be able to restore her son's health.
Zhong Nianyao directly refused, saying that she was powerless.
Could it be that Li Yiqiu was really taking revenge for personal reasons?
At this moment, Li Yiqiu finally understood what it meant to be unable to defend herself.
She wanted to speak to defend herself, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she had no idea what to say. For a moment, she felt extremely confused.
"Mr. Zhong, Mrs. Zhong."
Lu Yichen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. His voice was cold, and his expressionless face made everyone present sit up straight.
Although Lu Yichen never expressed any opinions from beginning to end, his presence has always been strong and no one dared to ignore him.
Now he suddenly spoke, and everyone was shocked.
Li Yiqiu couldn't help but shiver. When her eyes fell on the bloody gauze in Lu Yichen's hand, her panic deepened.
"Mr. Lu, you--" Mr. Zhong had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Lu Yichen.
"Grandpa, just call me Yichen." Lu Yichen spoke directly.
"Okay, Yichen." Mr. Zhong didn't hesitate to address her. He spoke directly, "What do you want to tell me?"
"Old Master, no matter if there is someone behind this or not, and no matter who that person is, it cannot change the fact that the Second Madam did it on purpose. She did this to hurt Yao'er."
Lu Yichen's eyes grew colder. "There's no point in continuing to investigate who said it. The important thing is, what should be done with the person who started it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was immediately focused on Li Yiqiu.
They all knew that they would not be able to get through this hurdle today. Lu Yichen's attitude clearly stated one thing: he would never let Li Yiqiu go.
Li Yiqiu sat there with panic and helplessness in her eyes.
