Ling Ling stood in the main hall, glared fiercely at the east wing of the house, and then closed the door: "I don't understand, Zi Qi and Zi Hua are obviously accomplices, why do you still let them go unpunished and turn a blind eye?"

  Tang Jiuer slowly poured herself a cup of tea: "Since they can participate in the plot to frame Hua Rou, they must not have been caught with any evidence. We have no proof, what can we do?"

  "Are they going to be allowed to continue harming people here?"

  Tang Jiuer glanced at Linlin and moistened his tea: "Those who often act unjustly will eventually destroy themselves."

  Ling Ling let out a cold hum in a bad mood: "The words are not wrong, but when will this be?"

  "Not too long."

  Lin Lin was taken aback and curiously ran to Tang Jiu'er's side: "Have you already made plans?"

  Tang Jiuer put down the teacup, reached out and touched Linlin's braid: "Child, everyone's path in life is walked by themselves. One wrong step might still be salvageable, but step after step of mistakes will inevitably lead to... seeking one's own demise."

  Ling nodded in agreement: "I know this, but I don't know what you plan..."

  "You don't need to know what I'm going to do."

  Linlin felt a little disheartened upon hearing this, but she remembered something: "Right, earlier Hua Rou asked you why Zhou Feng wanted to harm her, why didn't you answer?"

  "Can't answer, of course won't answer."

  "Can't answer?"

  Tang Jiuer looked at Linlin with a curious expression and couldn't help but smile: "You, stop worrying about other people's business, it's better to focus on practicing the needlework I taught you, the day of the trial is approaching."

  Ling's expression turned serious: "Mm, I see."

  ……

  As soon as the bedroom door was closed, Tang Feiyan grabbed her mother Tang Shiqi's arm: "Mother, you tell me, what's going on with the poison on that mask?"

  Tang Shi Qi irritably pulled down Tang Fei Yan's hand: "Alright, at this time, what's the point of asking that?"

  "I'm curious!"

  "Curious?" Tang Shi Qi glanced at her daughter: "Are you going to ask clearly and then go tell Tang Xiao, so that your parents will be punished again?"

  "Tang Feiyan's eyes flickered and she muttered guiltily: 'I didn't say I would tell him...'"

  Tang Shi Qi saw the situation and angrily stretched out her hand to pinch Tang Fei Yan's arm: "Go! You go tell him, it was your mother who disguised herself as you and poisoned him. Let's see how he will treat you when he finds out!"

  Tang Feiyan was still wincing in pain when she heard what came next and her eyes widened in shock: "Mother, how could you...how could you..."

  "How can I not?" Tang Shi Qi was also furious: "I'm telling you, Fei Yan, don't have any illusions about Tang Xiao! If he really put you in his heart, he wouldn't jump out to take the blame for Hua Rou today!"

  "Your mother is right!" The door was pushed open, and Tang Lei walked in with a gloomy face: "Fei Yan, the reason why Tang Xiao is still willing to be close to you is because of the House of Family Industry and the Phoenix Pavilion. If we lose power, do you think he will look at you straight?"

  "Dad!" Tang Feiyan's eyes turned red in an instant.

  "Wake up! In this Tang family, compared to Tang Xiao..."

  "I won't listen!" Tang Feiyan quickly covered her ears with her hands and shouted, "I won't listen, I won't listen! I don't want anyone except him!"

  Tang Fei Yan finished speaking and ran out, making Tang Shi Qi's temples ache with anger: "How did I end up raising such a stupid girl?!"

  Tang Lei watched as Tang Fei Yan's figure disappeared into the courtyard, then sat down beside Tang Shi Qi with a stifled breath, pouring tea from the pot. Just as he was about to pour half of it, unable to contain his inner fury, he smashed the pot directly onto the ground.

  "A whole setup and not one of them died, we wasted four people!"

  Tang Shi Qi looked at Tang Lei who was furious and couldn't help but shrink her neck.

  Her husband, who had always been calm and composed, was so flustered today that it was...

  "That Yan Luo's poison is really overbearing, although it takes ten breaths to take effect, but after just three breaths, it's already a dead end. I expected Hua Rou to recognize the poison, but I didn't expect her to recognize it so quickly, and even more unexpectedly, Tang Jiu'er actually managed to save him!"

  "Poisonous house, even if there's only one Tang Jiu'er, it makes me feel like I have a thorn in my back. Now there's also Hua Rou...". Tang Lei said, slamming his fist on the table again: "Zhou Feng is also useless! Such a good opportunity, and he still didn't succeed. It'll be even harder to kill her next time."

  "Yes, whether it's the master of the house or Tang Jiu'er, they will definitely protect her. However, how Xiao Qi was exposed today, I still can't figure out until now. Fortunately, you had prepared the firecracker trick, otherwise..."

  "It wasn't me." Tang Lei's response left Tang Shi Qi stunned: "What? Not you? Then... who..."

  "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the host."

  Tang Shi Qi's mouth was agape, her eyes fixed on Tang Lei: "How is that possible? She..."

  "The master of the door is a clever person. Before Tang Xiao took over as the master of the door, she would absolutely not tear her face with us."

  Tang Shi Qi's expression changed to one of ridicule: "She thinks that just because of this trial, she can push Tang Xiao up? Unbeknownst to her, we're also waiting for this trial! However..."

  Tang Shi Qi's eyebrows furrowed in worry: "Now neither of us can enter the house, what about our..."

  "Our people can't get in, theirs will naturally let their guard down. If something really happens, it won't be blamed on us either. Thinking about it this way, maybe it's a good thing after all."

  Tang Shi Qi blinked her eyes: "What you said makes sense, but Flying Swallow can't participate now either, what's to be done?"

  Tang Lei's eyes looked at Tang Shi Qi with certainty: "Don't worry! Fei Yan, she will definitely be able to participate, I guarantee it."

  ……

  "Has anyone entered my room in the past two days?"

  Tang Xiao thought for a moment in the house and then came out to find his younger brother who was recently responsible for sweeping the courtyard.

  Little Shidi thought for a moment: "Actually, there isn't anyone else, it's just that I saw Flying Swallow Shijie come in when I was sweeping!"

  "Tang Feiyan?" Tang Xiao's eyes flashed with surprise: "When?"

  "Yesterday afternoon! Didn't you have a date with her to go out and play? As soon as you left, she rushed over, entered your room saying she was waiting for you, but only stayed for a short while, then left."

  Tang Xiao heard this and grabbed Tang Fei Yan's collar, staring at him: "Are you sure it's Tang Fei Yan? You didn't make a mistake?"

  "Of course I'm sure!" Little Shidi was frightened: "I even said two more sentences to her, how could I have made a mistake..."

  "Are you sure it was yesterday afternoon, and she came as soon as I left?"

  "Alright! What's wrong, Master? Has something happened?"

  Tang Xiao's face looked extremely unpleasant as he loosened his younger brother's collar: "Nothing's wrong, you... go ahead and busy yourself!"

  Tang Xiao finished speaking and turned around to leave, leaving behind his younger brother with a puzzled expression.

  Tang Xiao returned home and closed the door behind him. He then punched the door frame, gritting his teeth as he said: "Tang Fei Yan..."
