When she came to Xu Mansion today, although she was returning home, Xu Rongrong was fully prepared.

The two lives together had already made her realize that the people in the Xu family were sinister.

The affection between sisters, the kindness of a father and the filial piety of his son... are all just a joke.

Xu Chaoqian was mediocre, but he was pretentious. He always believed that he had unlimited talents and did not want to be limited to the complicated and trivial government affairs, just waiting to enjoy the results. That's all. What made Xu Rongrong despise him the most was that no matter whether it was official business or family affairs, he just wanted to use others to climb up.

Once that person is no longer useful, he will drop it like a pair of worn out shoes.

This was true for her biological mother, Mrs. He, and the same was true for her step-sibling, Mrs. Liu. In her previous life, she had watched her fall into danger and looked on with cold eyes.

As for those two sisters...

Hehe, if anyone is going to hurt her when she comes home today, then Xu Yaoyao and Xu Minmin are naturally the biggest suspects.

The methods used in the back house are nothing more than poisoning and frame-up. So, the sachet she carried around her waist today was full of medicinal materials that could identify poisons.

That day at the celebration banquet for Prince Ning's return to the capital, she prepared a similar sachet for Sister Mu.

But the difference was that there was nothing unusual about the sachet that day, but when the tea was served today, she smelled a very faint smell...

She didn't know who wanted to harm her, but she knew that this person must be around.

He had just transferred the tea to Xu Chaoqian under the pretext of testing whether he was the poisoner.

But the result...

Seeing Xu Chaoqian blowing away the foam and about to drink the tea in one gulp, Xu Rongrong, who had no intention of actually putting him to death, was about to speak out to stop him.

But before she could say anything, she saw Xu Chao's arm shaking forward and the tea cup falling to the ground.

With a "bang" sound, the tea spilled all over the floor.

Everyone was startled, and Xu Chaoqian was also stunned.

He was just about to drink tea when he felt a sudden tingling in his arms...

At this moment, he was very embarrassed, because everyone looked at him as if they thought he was too frightened to even hold the tea cup.

Very embarrassing!

Xu Rongrong turned his head slightly and looked at Mu Rong who was twirling his fingertips without any surprise.

Just now... he must have taken action.

Did he see through her temptation, so he quietly helped her?

When she was stunned, Mu Rong raised his head and met her inquiring eyes.

Their eyes met, and he smiled and nodded.

Xu Rongrong's heart jumped suddenly and she turned around hurriedly.

The small interaction between the two did not attract the attention of others.

Butler Xu was busy going forward to clean, but Xu Chaoqian cleared his throat awkwardly, and then sat back as if nothing had happened. He ordered: "Clean it up."

Before Butler Xu could answer, he heard Xu Rongrong say "Hey":

"This tea... isn't right."

"What's wrong? It's only been a few days, and you don't like your own tea anymore?" Xu Minmin snorted impatiently, but the next moment she was also shocked.

I saw that the tea on the ground began to foam.

"Poisonous!" Butler Xu jumped back in fright. He almost got it.

While everyone was in shock, they heard a sharp voice: "It's you! It's you who poisoned the tea! You actually... actually want to poison your biological father!"

Xu Minmin pointed her finger at Xu Rongrong and shouted loudly: "Father! Xu Rongrong wants to poison you!"

Xu Chaoqian was awakened from panic by the shrill voice of the young girl.

He almost drank the poisonous tea just now!

God showed mercy and allowed him to shake his hands at the critical moment, otherwise, he would have turned into a skeleton now!

The fear of death made his whole body tremble uncontrollably. He looked at Xu Rongrong in disbelief: "You actually want to kill me?! You... this rebellious..."

The next words were choked in his throat.

Because he saw Mu Rong's sharp gaze.

"Sister Rong, I am your biological father..."

His disbelief, his cringe were real. Compared to him, Xu Yaoyao's actions seemed a bit artificial.

She covered her chest with her hands, as if she had been greatly frightened: "Eldest sister came back today, is it because she wants to take my father's life? After marrying from Zhuxiang Yayuan, eldest sister has already made her father a member of the capital. What a joke, now...are you actually going to take his life?"

Seeing that among the four people in Xu Mansion, except Xu Ming who had not recovered from the huge shock, the other three seemed to be putting on airs, Xu Rongrong sneered.

"You! You can still laugh!" Xu Minmin stared at her.

"My smile is so exaggerated and artificial. It's really the same strain." Xu Rongrong said with a smile.

"what do you mean?"

"You just want to pour dirty water on me, but you forget that this cup of tea was originally prepared for me. If I hadn't just seen my father in a state of confusion and handed him the tea, the person who is now poisoned would be I am dead." Xu Rongrong raised her eyebrows and said, "It seems that someone in this family where I have grown up for seventeen years actually wants me to die."

"You are such a mouthful! You were obviously the one who secretly poisoned the cup while my father was leaving just now, and then gave it to him to drink when he came back! As a result, my father escaped by some strange combination of circumstances, and when you saw what had happened, you took a bite back! Anyway, everyone in our house followed my father to the back room just now, and even the Marquis went with him, so naturally no one can see through your viciousness!"

Xu Minmin singled out Mu Rong just because she didn't want him to be deceived by the vicious Xu Rongrong, and she also wanted to show that there were many sensible women in the Xu family.

Xu Rongrong ignored her little thoughts and said calmly: "But the second sister was here just now? She should know best whether I tampered with the teacup."

"I...I was a little sleepy just now, so I didn't know clearly." Xu Yaoyao's face was timid and fragile.

"Look! I'm right!" Xu Minmin felt even more confident after hearing this, "Father! You talk about her every day, but the first thing she did after she stepped on the heads of our Xu family and climbed up a high branch, I just want to kill you!"

"My father is dead, what good does it do to me? Our court attaches great importance to filial piety. After the death of parents, children must observe filial piety for three years. They are not allowed to marry or have children. Those who are officials are worried, and those who are seeking students drop out of school. I have only been in the Marquis's house for three days. Don’t you want to live a good life anymore?”

When Mu Rong heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: It turns out that she also knew that those who were by his side had a good life.

Xu Rongrong continued: "What's more, the imperial decree clearly stipulates: Patricide shall be executed at Lingchi and his body exposed in the wilderness... What is the purpose of killing my father on the day I return home? Is it to suffer the pain of 3,600 knives?" To die? Or do you want to become a lonely soul after death and never be reincarnated?"

Xu Minmin: "..."

She rolled her eyes, frowned and said: "You just didn't expect that the matter would be revealed so soon! Now that you are marrying into a noble family, you naturally dislike the fact that our Xu family is humble! In addition, my father is only a fifth-grade man. Officer, there are people who you dislike because he abandons you!"

Xu Rongrong looked at her: "It turns out that Sister Min actually looks at her father and Xu Mansion so much in her heart."
