Compared to Mrs. Duan who only uses ordinary methods, Lin Mengya's orders are obviously more targeted.
Probably because her words were so concise and her attitude was cruel, everyone subconsciously chose to obey her orders for a while.
Rather than just being helpless.
Mrs. Duan gritted her teeth silently.
How could the situation she had finally controlled become another person's home court in the blink of an eye?
But she's not stupid.
Stirring up the situation now only makes her look stingy. It would be better to wait until something happens to the old guys outside. Then she will take this opportunity to crush the little girl so hard that she will never be able to stand up again.
As everyone hurriedly retreated, the air inside became fresher.
Lin Mengya carefully checked everyone's mouths and noses, and after making sure that there were no foreign objects blocking them, she did not rush to the doctor, but checked the food on the table.
Now she is certain that these people were poisoned by carbon monoxide.
In the cold winter, if the coal is not fully burned, or the doors and windows in the house are closed and the air circulation is poor, this situation is almost fatal.
The front hall was large, and she had a lot of charcoal fires added for warmth.
And in order to prevent the concentration of carbon monoxide from being too high, she specifically stated that the doors and windows cannot be closed.
But when she first came in, why were the doors and windows closed?
Also, since it was carbon monoxide poisoning, why were only the guests at the table showing symptoms, while the servants who were also serving in the hall seemed fine?
She thought for a moment and turned her attention to the food on the table.
Since those people suspected she was poisoned, someone must have found evidence in the food.
But the food on the table was all prepared by her orders, and she had already tested it with the system, and there was absolutely no poison.
What's going on?
"You want to destroy the evidence?"
Suddenly, a pair of hands tightly clamped her wrist.
Lin Mengya wanted to throw it away, but unfortunately the other party used 100% of her strength, as if she was about to break it.
"Let go."
She frowned slightly, and Cairu scolded beside her.
But Zhao Zifei sneered, with a sense of pride in his eyes as if he had seen through her tricks.
"I don't care what tricks you play, but this time, you actually dared to poison me and murder my father. Oh, from now on, let's see how you use others' power to show off."
He warned in a low voice, the malice stagnating in his chest seemed to turn into a real sword and pierce her body.
But Lin Mengya felt that this guy was definitely overly delusional.
"I never take advantage of others."
She said calmly. >
With a strong push of both hands, he shook off the opponent's grip.
Zhao Zifei stared at her coldly.
"You're still so stubborn right now, but to tell you the truth, when this matter is over, you won't be able to move forward in the future."
A slightly cruel smile appeared on his lips.
"Look at them, they all want to eat you alive."
What he was referring to were the subordinates of the big bosses.
However, Lin Mengya just glanced around and remained very calm.
"I'm born with a hard temper. Anyone who wants to devour me has to see if he has a pair of iron teeth. At least in my opinion, you are a half-hearted person who only uses other people's names to show your authority.
Big boy, you don’t have the qualifications yet.”
Although the words came from Cairu's mouth, her contempt was conveyed completely.
Zhao Zifei's face suddenly became gloomy.
Lin Mengya didn't even give him a look, she just walked around and went outside.
Behind him, Zhao Zifei clenched his fists fiercely, with a hint of ferocity in his eyes.
After getting out of the poisonous environment, several patients who were previously only vaguely conscious gradually came to their senses.
"Hiss—it's so cold! Hey, why am I sitting outside?"
The same question also occurred to several other people.
Then, their men immediately gathered around and helped the masters of each family up.
"Master, you are finally awake. The little ones are worried to death."
Immediately afterwards, each family member also reported to their master in detail what had just happened.
Hearing them say that they were poisoned, the faces of the big bosses couldn't help but change slightly.
You must know that they are all experienced veterans.
Even though they were at a friend's house, they still had the due vigilance.
It wasn't the first time they had eaten that meal. Didn't they find any problems before?
They appear to be more cautious than those servants who are easily provoked and exploited.
They didn't regard Lin Mengya as a criminal as soon as they woke up. Instead, they felt that there must be something fishy in this, so they should wait until the matter was found out first.
One after another people woke up.
Lin Mengya did not rush to explain, but had people put out all the coals in the house and put them outside the door.
Although there is no heat in the house, it is still much stronger than the freezing cold outside.
Finally, the three most severely poisoned people, Zhao Yixuan, Jiang Yishui and Li Chengyuan, all recovered their consciousness.
Awake.
When Mrs. Duan and her son saw that Elder Zhao was awake, they rushed over.
"Master, you finally woke up." Mrs. Duan's eyes were red. Although she did not shed tears, there was a soft cry in her voice.
A real acting talent, who wouldn’t say they were sincere after watching it?
Elder Zhao's mind was still a little confused, his face showed no expression, and he didn't say a word.
However, Mrs. Duan and her son automatically interpreted it as disappointment and anger towards Lin Mengya.
Mrs. Duan lowered her eyes, suppressed her joy, and said hesitantly, "Master, don't get so angry. I believe Miss Ya didn't do it on purpose. She is young after all, and her behavior is more reckless. I hope that Master will see it before he passes away."
For Sister Fang’s sake, don’t argue with her about this matter.”
But Zhao Zifei refused to comply and kept yelling.
"She wants to poison people to death! Mother, how can you be so kind? In my opinion, you should deal with it according to the clan rules. Otherwise, next time, my father will be killed by her without knowing it."
Mrs. Duan shook her head sadly.
"No! Zi Fei, your Aunt Fang has already passed away. Are you going to let her soul live in heaven? Master, please let her go."
Lin Mengya curled up her fingers and rubbed her forehead.
What kind of shabby theater is this? Why is it still being performed?
But I have to say that the conversation between mother and son still attracted a lot of people's attention.
Lin Mengya clearly felt that the eyes around her were somewhat scrutinizing.
Okay, are you really suspicious of her?
No wonder, after all, until now, everyone feels that this accident happened out of nowhere.
She tapped the back of Cairu's hand.
The latter was almost knocked out by anger, but finally regained his senses.
"Before the matter has been investigated clearly, Mrs. Duan and Young Master Zifei are busy making accusations against my young lady. Are you a little anxious?"
Mrs. Duan was so cunning that she didn't say anything, but Zhao Zifei, on the other hand, was as ready as a firecracker and spoke plausibly.
"What else are you looking for? Today's meal was prepared by your lady. Everyone can see clearly. If she hadn't given the poison, how could my father and these elders faint for no reason?"
There were people around him who nodded, after all, that was the situation on the surface.
Cai Ru was about to reply, but was stopped by Lin Mengya's little move.
She seamlessly switched to the voice quality exclusively for her master, lowered her head slightly, and acted as a sounding board for Lin Mengya.
"Oh? Don't say too much. Otherwise, the slap in the face will come too quickly, and I'm afraid your face will hurt."
Compared to Zhao Zifei's excitement, Lin Mengya was too calm.
Even feel Mrs. Duan, who was very confident, was thinking in her mind whether she had missed any key evidence.
Until she discovered that Lin Mengya's sleeves seemed to be trembling uncontrollably.
Only then did she realize that the other party was just trying to hold on.
Oh, she just said that there is absolutely no way the other party can clean it up.
"Okay, Zifei, I know you are worried about me, so please don't say a few words. This matter must be left to your father to decide."
With this concession, Mrs. Duan simply molded herself into a model of gentleness, humility, and understanding.
The few guests who had just been helped in couldn't help but feel that Mrs. Duan indeed had a good temper.
When they looked at Zhao Zifei, who looked 70% or 80% like Zhao Yixuan when he was young, everyone understood immediately.
It turns out that this is the illegitimate son of an old friend who Li Chengyuan said was living abroad.
Although I felt sorry for Mrs. Fang in front of me, at least when she was alive, Zhao Yixuan did not accept the mother and son, so he was worthy of her.
At that moment, everyone felt a little more favorable towards the mother and son.
Of course Lin Mengya also realized it.
Mrs. Duan is really good at being a good person, and she can win people's hearts with just a few tricks.
Even if they can't catch her, these people can help Mrs. Duan and her son take over the Zhao family.
But when they meet her, their plans for today will definitely come to nothing.
"Mrs. Duan didn't say much. Now my uncle is the one who makes the decision in the Zhao family. Uncle, what do you think?"
At this time, Zhao Yixuan had recovered.
He raised his head and looked at Lin Mengya with a heavy gaze.
"I trust you."
Just four words, but it almost made Zhao Zifei furious.
He jumped up, pointed at Lin Mengya and said excitedly, "Father, that woman, she almost killed you!"
Zhao Yixuan frowned slightly, but his attitude remained firm.
"Xiaoya will never harm us intentionally, Zhao Zifei, don't talk nonsense."
Mrs. Duan immediately grabbed Zhao Zifei and agreed with a wink, "Yes, this is just an accident. Zifei, your father just woke up, don't make any more trouble, do you hear me?"
After Zhao Zifei glared at Lin Mengya fiercely, he reluctantly stopped talking.
But Lin Mengya found it ridiculous.
In the blink of an eye, intentional poisoning becomes an honest mistake?
No matter what, the crime was destined to be pinned on her.
Next to me, someone was already starting to smooth things over and make peace with the mud.
"Yes, yes, Miss Ya is a bit younger after all, so it's normal to not think carefully. Fortunately, everyone is fine, so don't worry about her as a little girl."
