murderer.
Although the girl's voice was not loud, everyone seemed to be busy at the moment, but in fact they were all keeping an eye on the progress of others to prevent others from getting the six million first.
Among them, Ye Lan, who had just stopped Chen Zhexi from committing suicide, was the focus of observation. Her every move attracted much attention, so when she attacked the servants for no reason, everyone subconsciously slowed down their actions.
Then that light-hearted remark hit the house like a thunderclap.
"Miss Ye, what do you mean by that?" Zhu Jing stood up from the bedside, her eyes full of confusion. "Sister Juan has taken care of Xiaozhe since he was a child. She can be said to be half a relative to Xiaozhe. How could she possibly harm him?"
"Yes, the young master was raised by me. I treat him as my own son. I am always worried that he might get hot or cold. How could he do anything wrong?" Sister Juan also defended herself repeatedly and turned her gaze to the male host Chen Maoyuan.
In the moment she was distracted, she suddenly felt her hand lighten and the cup on the tray was taken away.
She reacted, screamed and was about to go over to grab it, but Ye Lan kicked her to the ground lightly.
Before anyone could recover from her arrogant behavior of hurting others over a disagreement, they saw her holding the glass of water with her white fingertips and sniffing it.
"Rosemary, datura, magic mushrooms... Hmm, your medicine-making skills are pretty good. Are you from a medicinal food background?"
The girl's voice was clear and calm, as if she was just talking about something ordinary.
But every word that came out of her mouth surprised everyone.
"Ms. Ye, are you saying that the water is poisonous?" Zhu Jing opened her mouth and spoke with difficulty.
"The toxin is very mild and not fatal. It will just make people drowsy and lack energy," Ye Lan explained.
"That's right. Xiaozhe just kept saying he was sleepy and wanted to sleep, and then he started having nightmares." Zhu Jing became more and more frightened the more she recalled it, and her eyes changed when she looked at Sister Juan. "Is it really yours, Sister Juan?"
"No, no, no, it's not me, madam. Don't you know what kind of person I am?" Sister Juan was horrified and knelt down in front of Zhu Jing with a thud.
Seeing this, Chen Maoyuan subconsciously went to help her up, "Let's talk it over nicely. If it's a misunderstanding, explain it clearly. You get up first."
He is an upright person and has no airs, so he cannot accept kneeling.
"No, sir, I beg you to plead for me." Sister Juan not only didn't get up, but also grabbed Chen Maoyuan's clothes and cried sadly, "The Chen family has always treated me well. The master and the mistress are very good to me, and the young master has been well-behaved since he was a child. I really have no reason to do this."
As a servant, this is definitely a rare and good thing.
However, "It's because they're so good that you really want to become a member of this family." Ye Lan stood by the door and watched all this with cold eyes. He said indifferently, "You can only integrate into this family if you get rid of Zhu Jing and her son."
Boom.
Everyone was stunned by the huge amount of information that came one after another.
Sister Juan's movements froze in an instant.
She slowly raised her head and met Chen Maoyuan's astonished eyes. With a flick of her fingers, she loosened his sleeve and said, "I...I didn't, sir."
"You don't have any? That doesn't explain why you had the mood to paint your nails while Xiaozhe, whom you consider your own son, was seriously ill? You even sprayed perfume and put on lipstick." At this time, Miao Lanying, as a bystander, sneered and said, "I thought you were weird when I first walked in, but I didn't notice it at first. Now that I've been reminded of it, I realize something is wrong. I'm afraid you had already calculated that Xiaozhe would get into trouble today, so you even put on makeup in advance."
She has been working in the business world for many years and is more sensitive to details than Chen Maoyuan, who focuses on education, and Zhu Jing, a housewife.
But she didn't expect that Ye Lan was more careful than her.
At this point, there is basically no room for sophistry.
"Just because you want the position of the mistress of the Chen family, you want to kill Xiaozhe?" Zhu Jing was not stupid. She reviewed what had happened during this period several times and found something wrong. At this moment, the look in her eyes when she looked at Sister Juan had become unfriendly.
"No, no, I didn't mean to hurt anyone..." Sister Juan fell to the ground, and no matter how she explained, it seemed pale and powerless.
Chen Maoyuan's face was also livid. As an educator, he couldn't tolerate such things happening in his own home, so he turned to talk to Ye Lan, "Miss Ye, could you please give me the cup so I can have a specialized agency examine it and preserve the evidence?"
Ye Lan had no objection to this and handed the cup over directly.
Now, the group of masters who were still busy in the room felt embarrassed.
The Taoist priest was the first to put away his peach wood sword, frowning and saying dissatisfiedly, "So this is all man-made. I was wondering why we couldn't find any trace of the ghost after searching for so long. Mr. Chen, this is not our fault. You came to us without knowing the truth. You must compensate us for our losses."
Others also put away their weapons, complaining that it was not a problem of their own abilities, and even demanded that the six million be divided equally.
"This..." Chen Maoyuan didn't expect things to turn out like this, and he felt a little embarrassed, so he thought about it and decided to give compensation.
But before he could finish his words, he heard the girl's clear voice coming from the door again.
"Did I say she was a murderer?"
Um?
Everyone who was still negotiating was stunned, "Is it true that she poisoned people to kill them?"
"The poisoning is true." Ye Lan's expression was cold. His dark eyes scanned the room before he continued, "But the possession is also true, and the evil spirit is right here."
What?
The Taoist priest standing at the front laughed when he heard this.
"This room is only this small, and it's not even a bedroom. It's just a spare room. The furnishings are clearly visible. How could we not see if there are any evil things after casting the spell for so long?"
He was obviously the most accomplished of the group, so everyone else followed his lead.
"That's right. I just went to great lengths to ask the immortals to possess me, but they didn't say there was anything wrong with it."
"Little girl, don't exaggerate. You've never even been inside. How can you be so confident that there's something evil here?"
When it comes to money, the whole group of people suddenly unite and turn against the outside world.
Facing so many questions, Ye Lan remained calm and even shrugged his shoulders, saying, "You can't see it because you're weak."
puff.
In one sentence, he dragged down the entire audience and offended a bunch of well-known metaphysics masters.
"Okay, okay, you are talking nonsense. If you have the ability, come here. I want to see what you can find." The Taoist priest was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Ye Lan and asked her to prove it on the spot.
"Okay." Ye Lan agreed happily, and pointed at the door panel, saying, "Then you guys come guard the door and don't let it run away."
