Chapter 944: Chapter 944 Truly a Family Misfortune

Everyone was intelligent, and once the two children had run away, the cousin-in-law of Yan Qiu’s mother-in-law promptly asked if there was a problem?

The expert then inquired about the relationship between those two children and his family.

The cousin-in-law of Geng Yanrong’s mother-in-law spoke honestly, saying that the two families were very close, and encouraged the master to speak freely.

Only then did the expert reveal that the two children had been poisoned, and feared that ordinary doctors might not be able to detect the poison.

This revelation alarmed the assembled few, who hurriedly summoned Geng Yanrong’s mother-in-law and explained the situation.

Upon learning that both children’s parents had died for their country, the expert felt compassion and stated that the poison must have been mixed into their food, and that it had been present for at least two years.

This timeline immediately made the children’s grandmother think of Geng Yanrong, as the changes in the children mentioned by the expert over those two years matched, indicating that the poison was a slow-acting one. Continued consumption for a few more years would completely debilitate the children.

Such a ruthless heart indeed!

Initially, the children’s grandmother wanted the expert to intervene and cure the poison, but he admitted he lacked the ability to detoxify, stating there was no antidote and he could only offer some detoxifying medicine for them to take temporarily.

Fortunately, the poisoning was not too severe, and perhaps in the future, they might encounter a benefactor, but the priority was to identify the source of the poison to prevent it from worsening.

Upon their return, they had avoided Geng Yanrong and explained the situation to their family and also shared their suspicions.

That evening, they caught someone red-handed, and even found an unfinished half bottle of white powder in her room, nearly resulting in her being beaten to death by the in-laws.

However, the next day was New Year’s Eve, and their part of the family was due to return to the ancestral home for the celebration. Not wanting to spoil the festive season for the old house and other branches, they made Geng Yanrong sign a confession.

They left her alone in the house while the rest returned to the ancestral home, saying she was ill and unable to move, so she did not go back for New Year’s. But everyone raised in a large family was clever.

Right after New Year’s Day, on the second day, her in-laws sent her back to the Geng family and reported her to the police.

They returned her because the in-laws did not want the neighbors to ridicule them; having the police fetch her directly from the Geng household was meant to embarrass the Geng family, for nothing else would assuage their anger.

After the in-laws of Geng Yanrong arrived, they openly disclosed the affair right at the front gate, giving no chance for the Geng family to save face.

Thus, the Geng family completely lost their dignity in the courtyard yesterday.

After finishing, Song Huizhen spitefully said, "It’s still too easy for the Zhong Family, with this incident in the Geng family, now the entire courtyard’s focus is on the Geng family."

Luo Qiao remarked, "The people of Geng Family’s main wife are indeed a nest of snakes and rats, always duplicitously the same, and now they’ve finally fallen."

The few seated people, having heard this, looked at Luo Qiao, with Tiong Shulan whispering, "Do you know something?"

Luo Qiao initially did not want to speak, yet, out of frustration, she finally whispered, "Yan Qiu was also poisoned before, but being astute, she discovered it and hence moved abroad."

The group then fell into silence. That main branch of the Geng family was too vile, wanting to destroy the second branch’s only lineage; truly despicable.

Luo Qiao looked at Song Huizhen and asked, "Was Geng Yanrong taken away?"

Song Huizhen nodded, "It seems they called the police on their way here; no sooner had they finished explaining the situation and letting the onlookers in the courtyard understand everything, the police arrived, surely timing it just right."

Yuan Jianing whispered, "This morning I met the Geng family’s maid, and heard her talking to someone else that Old Master Geng was so angry he vomited blood."

Everyone then fell silent once more, truly an unfortunate family event.

After the two little ones woke up from their nap, Luo Qiao got ready to say goodbye.

This time, the two little ones had received a stack of red envelopes, and even two-year-old Yuan Jiale insisted on giving two red envelopes, firmly stating he was an elder.

The sight nearly had everyone in the room laughing, wondering what his father had told him at noon that turned out to be quite successful.

The car hadn’t left the mansion when they fortuitously met Yan Qiu returning from outside.
