Free Web NovelChapter 1362: Chapter 1361: Who Is Really Targeting the Leng Family? (Part 1)
When Uncle Leng returned home, it was already afternoon. Grandpa Leng kept looking behind him: "Where’s Mengyu? Why didn’t you bring Mengyu back?"
His son took the train to the Capital City yesterday afternoon to pick up his granddaughter and returned this afternoon, but he didn’t bring her back. What happened?
Uncle Leng first instructed his wife, "Take our son to our bedroom. Apart from the two of us, no one is allowed in." Seeing his wife agree and take their son inside, he then stepped forward to support his father: "There’s something to discuss; let’s talk about it in your study."
Seeing the expression on his eldest son’s face, Grandpa Leng’s heart skipped a beat.
Grandma Leng said, "Let’s go, together."
She could also sense her eldest son’s mood: a mix of anger and excitement.
The three of them walked to the Master’s study, leaving Leng Zirong standing there with a complex expression.
Leng Zirong had noticed long ago that during this trip to pick up his cousin, despite her being such a good person who offered her best things to everyone, his mother just didn’t like her, always finding faults.
And that cousin, Shasha, kept calling her a rude country girl, even saying offensive things like Cousin Nan had no manners, completely different from her usual behavior.
He couldn’t tell if she usually hid her personality and reverted to her true self once she left the Leng Family, or if she was deliberately targeting Cousin Nan.
Their pretext was to bring Cousin Nan to the Leng Family for New Year’s, yet their behavior made it clear, even to a three-year-old, that they were expressing their disdain: they didn’t welcome Cousin Nan!
Do they even consider who Cousin Nan is? Do they think a mere provocation could stop Cousin Nan from returning to the Leng Family?
Although it seemed like they succeeded today because Cousin Nan didn’t come back, he was certain it was due to his cousin’s poisoning, which made her stay away, letting Uncle investigate the truth.
Speaking of his cousin’s poisoning, looking at his mother’s expression, why did he feel it had something to do with her? Did his mother poison his cousin for the Leng Family’s inheritance?
He couldn’t understand why his mother would do that; the Leng Family had so few members. Isn’t it said that there’s strength in numbers?
When Second Aunt Leng and Lin Shasha returned a little late and saw her son standing there, arms crossed, she couldn’t help but frown. Lin Shasha quickly asked, "Cousin, where are your uncle and aunt?"
Leng Zirong suddenly felt that Lin Shasha didn’t really belong in this house.
Leng Zirong glanced coldly at Lin Shasha and looked at his mother: "Uncle is in Grandpa’s study."
Second Aunt Leng’s eyes flashed with panic, but she quickly lowered them, hiding her gaze and concealing everything in her mind.
In Grandpa Leng’s study, Uncle Leng recounted everything that happened today to his parents.
Especially regarding his son’s poisoning, he spoke in great detail, leaving nothing out.
Uncle Leng’s eyes were red: "If it weren’t for Mengyu’s intention to secretly improve Zilong’s physical attributes, adding a drop of Stone Marrow to the Spiritual Tea and triggering the latent poison in Zilong’s body, in a few months when the hidden poison flared up, I wouldn’t have a son anymore."
"Luckily, there’s Mengyu!"
Uncle Leng also took out the Stone Marrow and Yuan Nourishing Pill that Mengyu had given: "Mengyu said, apart from the ten drops to improve Zilong’s body, give one drop each to Grandpa and Grandma, and the rest should be shared between me and my younger brother. The three bottles of Yuan Nourishing Pill are for me and my younger brother, one bottle each, and the remaining bottle is for Dad and Mom."
