The people at the banquet were waiting for Churi Huaizhu's arrival. They were counting on her to come up with a plan, and she didn't let them down.
"Everyone, I will surely give you all an explanation for today's incident. This explanation is not only for you but also for my husband," Churi Huaizhu said, then paused.
She glanced around at the people. They were all listening attentively. Even those who didn't fully trust her were listening carefully under the influence of the other elders.
Wang Quan Zui was standing beside her, giving her a reassuring look and strength, which gave Churi Huaizhu more confidence in what she was about to say.
"No matter what the final result of the investigation is, our Wang Quan Villa will not cover it up. We will be open and honest with everyone!"
As soon as she said this, the elders in the audience showed approving expressions. As expected of a young lady from the Dongfang family. Her way of handling things was truly satisfactory. Although it was an old saying that family scandals should not be made public, this incident had happened during the banquet. If they tried to cover it up, it would seem petty and make people think that the Wang Quan Villa lacked magnanimity.
Doing it this way could not only show the grandeur of the Wang Quan Villa but also make the person behind the scenes a bit more cautious and afraid to strike again.
After dealing with the people at the banquet, Churi Huaizhu quickly went with Wang Quan Zui to check on Wang Quan Ba Ye. At the same time, she arranged for people to search every room to see if there were any clues.
When Churi Huaizhu was alone in the room trying to come up with a plan, Liu Xiayun suddenly showed up for some reason and said she wanted to have a few words with her.
"What do you want to say?" Churi Huaizhu looked at Liu Xiayun warily.
"Nothing. I just wanted to congratulate you on being able to bear children for the Wang Quan family. I'm just wondering if the baby in your belly is a boy or a girl?" Liu Xiayun pretended to be confused and stared at Churi Huaizhu's belly, as if she could see through the clothes and flesh to the fetus inside.
This look made Churi Huaizhu even more on guard. She looked at Liu Xiayun and smiled slightly. "Thank you for your congratulations, but I'm still busy. Please understand, Miss Liu."
As she said this, Churi Huaizhu walked straight past Liu Xiayun towards the door. This room was just a guest room, which was why Churi Huaizhu wasn't worried about leaving Liu Xiayun alone here.
Liu Xiayun watched Churi Huaizhu's departing back and showed a mysterious smile. Her lips parted slightly, and it was unclear what she was saying. That smile sent a chill down one's spine.
As soon as Churi Huaizhu walked out, she saw two elders rushing over, saying they had something to ask her.
"What's this?" Churi Huaizhu quickly followed the elder to a respected elder. That elder threw a porcelain bottle at Churi Huaizhu with a cold face.
"How dare you ask? This thing was found in your room. Don't you know what it is?!" That elder slapped the table and questioned her.
The other elders didn't say a word. They had their own judgment in mind. They didn't immediately assume that Churi Huaizhu was the one who did it just because of the found evidence. After all, who would leave the evidence carelessly on the dressing table?
Churi Huaizhu carefully examined the porcelain bottle in her hand. She had never seen this bottle before. She looked at Wang Quan Zui beside her with questioning eyes. Wang Quan Zui looked at her helplessly, indicating that what she held in her hand was the poison that Wang Quan Ba Ye had been poisoned with.
"Was this found in my room?" Churi Huaizhu asked. After seeing their confirming gestures, Churi Huaizhu smiled.
That respected elder was instantly furious. How could she still have the nerve to smile? The elder felt that he hadn't seen such a person in a long time.
"Elder, not to mention why I would harm my own husband, just the fact that this porcelain bottle was found in my room means it's not something I would do. If I wanted to poison my husband, why would I make it so easy for you to find out?"
The elders nodded seriously. They never thought that Churi Huaizhu had poisoned Wang Quan Ba Ye. It was just that that elder was really hard to offend. As soon as Churi Huaizhu said this, they could finally voice their own thoughts.
"Right. I believe Huaizhu. She has no reason to poison the family head. There must be something fishy about this!"
Some elders said one after another, and Wang Quan Zui also spoke up for Churi Huaizhu, asking that elder to trust Churi Huaizhu for the time being.
At night, Churi Huaizhu and Wang Quan Zui were sitting in the room discussing the person who had poisoned Wang Quan Ba Ye.
"Who on earth is being so devious? First, they used a poison that would naturally metabolize in about half a month, and then they framed you..." Wang Quan Zui was thinking hard. She really couldn't figure out what the person behind the scenes was thinking.
Churi Huaizhu was also thinking about this problem. She thought about Wang Quan Ba Ye's condition in the past few days but found that since she had rarely contacted Wang Quan Ba Ye in the past few days, she didn't know much about the situation.
She was a bit annoyed, but thinking about the baby in her belly, Churi Huaizhu forced herself to calm down.
"Since we can't figure out what the person behind the scenes is thinking, why don't we set a trap and let them fall into it?" Churi Huaizhu had a sudden inspiration and told Wang Quan Zui all her thoughts.
Wang Quan Zui considered Churi Huaizhu's idea. After filling in some loopholes, she was ready to arrange for the specific implementation of the plan.
"Don't let this out for now, so as not to tip off the enemy," Churi Huaizhu carefully warned Wang Quan Zui. Wang Quan Zui nodded. She knew what to do.
The next day, rumors began to spread in the mansion that Churi Huaizhu had poisoned the family head. Some people even said that Churi Huaizhu had been taken to the dungeon last night and was being tortured.
"Is this for real? Don't tell me you made it up," Most people who heard this news couldn't believe it, except for those who didn't have a good impression of Churi Huaizhu.
One of them, after hearing the news, first smiled and then let out a sigh of relief. This expression made the person watching secretly suspicious.
Sure enough, after careful observation, the person watching secretly found that this person went to a deserted corner during the noon break and buried a small paper packet.
After the person left, the secret sentry brought the paper packet to the elders. After testing, it was found that the paper packet contained the same poison that had been found before.
"Bring that person here immediately!" After the person was brought to the main hall, before the elders could start interrogating, they saw the person kneel down on the ground with a thud.
"I'm the one who poisoned the family head. I have nothing to say. All I can say is that I'm sorry to the old family head," the person said, looking up. After saying these words, the person kowtowed three times and then didn't move anymore.
The elders didn't expect this person to admit it so readily. When they wanted to ask for more information, they found that the person had already bitten his tongue and committed suicide. There was no sign of life left.
