Chapter 1354 Lin Shasha Wants Da Hong Pao Tea
Uncle Leng knew that a poison so subtle, capable of remaining dormant for three months without manifesting, was absolutely not simple.
Moreover, anyone able to continuously poison a child must either be someone close to his son or able to frequently interact with him. He feared that upon his return, the Leng Family might face some unrest.
"Alright, I will investigate thoroughly, restore tranquility to our home, and then come to take you back."
Mengyu reminded him, "Second Uncle is definitely not a problem, but Second Aunt is hard to say. That Lin Shasha, you’d better investigate her thoroughly. Even if she’s not involved, don’t let her stay at home."
Uncle Leng, surprised by Mengyu’s words, asked, "You suspect your Second Aunt and Lin Shasha?"
Mengyu recalled the faint panic in Second Aunt’s eyes when mentioning Zilong’s poisoning, nodded, "My Master says that in anything harmful, the beneficiary is most suspicious. If anything happens to Zilong, she would benefit."
Uncle Ning found it odd, "Then why don’t you suspect your Second Uncle?"
"Because Uncle’s relationship with Second Uncle is good. Last time, I went back with him to save you. He risked his life to rescue your family, why would he harm his cousin? Moreover, I trust Second Uncle’s character; he wouldn’t do such a thing.
So, Uncle Leng, whatever you find, even if evidence points to Second Uncle, don’t act impulsively. I’m sure Second Uncle would never do anything to harm his nephew."
Mengyu couldn’t tell him that in a past life, Uncle Leng was harmed by someone, and Second Uncle Leng fought with those people.
A man willing to fight for his brother’s sake, how could he harm his brother’s son?
Uncle Leng naturally trusted his brother and Mengyu as well.
However, Mengyu’s trust and defense of Second Uncle Leng made Uncle Leng a bit jealous, with a hint of grievance he said, "Mengyu, I’m also your uncle, your Second Uncle’s elder brother."
Mengyu laughed, "Of course I know you’re my dear Uncle Leng. In my heart, you and Second Uncle are on the same level."
Uncle Leng clapped his hands, "Okay, I will investigate seriously. Even if evidence points to your Second Uncle, I absolutely won’t believe it lightly."
That’s precisely what Mengyu wanted to hear from him.
She said, "If no matter how you investigate, the evidence all points to Second Uncle, come find me."
For some reason, she had a premonition that once Uncle Leng returned to investigate, ultimately, the inquiry might point to Second Uncle, and the one behind it likely aimed to make the brothers fall out.
She found it strange; previously, Nan Ming harmed the Leng Family out of fear that they would become an aid and help her return to the Nan Family.
Yet now, with Nan Ming gone and her returned to the Nan Family, who could still be targeting her grandparents’ home?
Perhaps she was overthinking; it might just be Second Aunt wanting to seize the entire family’s assets and thus not wanting the Uncle’s house to have a son.
Having reached an agreement, Mengyu reminded Uncle Leng, and with a wave, she withdrew the isolation barrier.
As soon as the barrier was retracted, Lin Shasha’s voice came through, "I say, aren’t you being too stingy, little ghost? It’s just a box of tea; what’s wrong with me taking it?"
"No means no. This is my Master’s tea. The Nan Family only gave Master one tael; it’s difficult to obtain. If you take it, what will my Master use for tea in the future?" That voice was Qing Wen’s.
It was clear Lin Shasha wanted to put the packet of Da Hong Pao into her own bag, but Qing Wen wouldn’t allow it, and they were arguing.
Uncle Leng’s face darkened upon hearing their conversation.
