Lu Zhiming stood opposite his uncle, exuding a mighty arrogance all over his body, as if his whole body was a restricted area for others.

Pei Chengyi's gaze was undisguised, only staring at her uncle.

The uncle also felt the gaze, and turned to stare at Pei Chengyi with resentment on his face.

If this little girl hadn't ruined his affairs this time, he would have inherited the position of head of the Lu family long ago.

Uncle snorted coldly.

"Humph."

Lu Zhiming stood aside, his tall figure was wearing a straight suit, which undoubtedly revealed his perfect figure.

It's just that Lu Zhiming's expression was gloomy, and his handsome face was also full of anger.

"Yesterday we went to grandpa and he was fine, why is grandpa dying of illness today? Uncle, don't you really know everything?"

Sternly yelling, Lu Zhiming strongly restrained his anger and maintained his self-cultivation, so that he didn't throw a punch.

The Lu family around did not dare to speak.

Uncle sneered.

"how could I know?"

Uncle lifted his head up, eyes up and mouth down.

But after a while, the uncle changed his appearance again, with tears streaming down his face, he just stared at Lu Zhiming, still talking plausibly.

"It was in vain for me to watch you grow up, and you actually talked to me like this. Besides, the Patriarch was poisoned, and I was heartbroken. I often cried at night and couldn't sleep. How could you bear to come and question me?"

Seeing her uncle's unrepentant and shameless performance, Pei Chengyi was about to be laughed out of anger, with an emotional appearance, as if what she said was true.

Looking at him coldly, Pei Chengyi took a lot of effort to resist the urge to go up and make a move.

Old man Lu has been murdered like this, yet he dares to do such hypocritical things here.

Lu Zhiming put his hands in his trouser pockets, his anger was suppressed, leaving only coldness.

Pei Chengyi sat aside, watching the sharp words of the two of them back and forth.

"You might as well ask yourself that."

Uncle said calmly, his scheming and shrewd eyeballs kept turning, but his eyes kept locking on Lu Zhiming's.

"Why did you go to see the old man yesterday?"

"Why did the old man become critically ill as soon as you went?"

"Do I still need to ask you these questions? You know it all yourself."

Pei Chengyi sneered.

Standing up, Pei Chengyi's long white dress brushed past her ankles, and the bowknot on her head just reflected the light source of the dim light on the second floor.

"So uncle, are you suspicious of us?"

Pei Chengyi asked coldly.

Pei Chengyi responded loudly to her uncle, and glanced at the surrounding Lu family.

The Lu family lowered their heads and refused to speak.

Uncle also kept silent.

Today, everyone has seen Pei Chengyi's affairs with the old man. To be honest, using such a childish excuse will inevitably make him a little speechless.

Looking at the uncle who dodged his eyes, Pei Chengyi rolled his eyes.

Lu Zhiming stared at his uncle.

"You can't even say it yourself, why do you still find these pale reasons?"

Hearing Pei Chengyi's reasonable and well-founded words, my uncle didn't know how to respond for a moment, but just stood there sullenly.

"Besides, in any case, it is impossible for us to do this."

Pei Chengyi paused.

"I'm afraid there is a bigger conspiracy and bigger preparations for this matter."

As soon as Pei Chengyi said this, the faces of the Lu family members were full of curiosity.

Pei Chengyi turned to ask Lu Zhiming.

Lu Zhiming nodded casually.

"What does she mean? Is there any secret behind this matter?"

"Never heard of it."

"She's not playing tricks, is she?"

Intermittent discussions filled Pei Chengyi's ears.

Pei Chengyi took out her silver needle.

The black color of the toxin in the two sets of silver needles in the sun is actually the same.

"Here are two sets of silver needles."

Pei Chengyi signaled.

I took out one of them and showed it to everyone.

"This silver needle is engraved with a peach border, which is the one used by the old man that day."

The Lu family continued to listen.

Uncle frowned.

What kind of tricks does this little girl want to do?
"But this one is engraved with a lotus border, which is different from the previous pear border."

Everyone was a little bewildered.

"So what? Isn't it just a different silver needle?"

Pei Chengyi shook her head.

"So far, I have only used silver needles for the old man once, besides, you should have discovered that the silver needle was carved with a lotus border that day, right?"

Everyone recalled carefully.

Suddenly, a person suddenly raised his hand.

After seeing his uncle's stern eyes, he slowly put his hand down again, but he still underestimated what he said, which was heard by everyone around him.

"I remember it seems to be a lotus..."

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Then the answer is obvious, whose poison is on my other pair of silver needles?"

Pei Chengyi turned to look at Lu Zhiming who was at the side.

Lu Zhiming's hair hangs down lightly, like smooth fluff, with a yellowish light as the sun shines.

"The toxin in the old man is very wonderful, but for anyone who has been poisoned by this kind of poison, as long as the silver needle is used, it must be inserted into the designated position and it will be exactly the same."

Pei Chengyi compared the two silver needles together, and it turned out that the black height of the silver needles was the same.

"So this person must have been poisoned by the same poison."

Everyone scratched their heads.

They probably knew that some members of the Lu family had suffered from the poisoner.

But who is that person...

"That person is..."

Pei Chengyi took a step back.

Lu Zhiming took a step back.

The interlacing of the positions of the two made everyone understand the answer thoroughly.

"The Lu family speaks to the person, Lu Zhiming."

The people around were dumbfounded, and their eyes were all on Lu Zhiming.

Lu Zhiming stood indifferently, letting these eyes look on him, but frowned slightly, a little disliked the feeling of being scrutinized.

"How could this be? He is the talker of the Lu family. Who is so courageous? How dare he do such a thing to the two most important lifelines of the Lu family!"

"It's too scary. That person was able to quietly poison two people in the Lu family."

The discussions gradually increased.

Everyone in the Lu family has different faces.

Everyone's look reveals what's going on inside them.

Pei Chengyi looked at the changes in the expressions on everyone's faces, and probably knew it in her heart.

Uncle's body trembled uncontrollably.

Looking at Lu Zhiming and Pei Chengyi standing under the sun, he couldn't help being angry.

How much do these two people know?

Uncle's face became more and more ugly, and he looked even more terrifying in the shadows.

Pei Chengyi and Lu Zhiming walked side by side, putting away the silver needles in their hands.
