Chapter 1994: Chapter 1994: It Wasn’t You?

Even if Luo Mianyi was angry in her heart, she had to deny the words her son had spoken.

Suddenly, her expression darkened, and she looked at Yue Tianhao with displeasure.

"What nonsense are you spouting, child? Your eldest brother is also my son, how could I possibly send someone to take his life? Who among the servants is spreading such rumors outside?"

While speaking, her gaze flickered over Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang seemingly inconspicuously.

It was as though the incident was indeed fabricated by someone, and that someone was the group led by Sui Zimo, who had just arrived yesterday at the Yue Clan.

"Truly it wasn’t you, Mother?"

After hearing his mother’s words, Yue Tianhao naturally believed her, yet he still asked once more.

"Of course not!"

Luo Mianyi spoke with utter certainty, as if she had absolutely no hand in the matter.

"You are my son, how can you listen to others’ nonsense?"

Considering this, Yue Tianhao felt it must be true, for how could he not understand his mother, who was the kindest of all? How could she possibly hire assassins to kill his elder brother?

This must definitely be someone else’s fabrication!

"Did you all hear that? This wasn’t something my mother did, Grandmother, you mustn’t let my elder brother wrongly accuse Mother," he said.

Turning around, he looked toward Old Madam Yue and others, voicing his defense for his mother.

Old Madam Yue took a deep breath upon hearing her grandson’s words, barely managing to suppress her anger.

This Luo Dingyi, was he really trying to shift the blame onto Sui Zimo and his wife? As if she had the capability to orchestrate such a plot!

"Luo Mianyi, was this truly not your doing?"

She asked Luo Mianyi in a steady voice.

The fact was that this matter could not withstand scrutiny. The nanny who served Luo Mianyi was not particularly shrewd, and the Yue Clan’s guards were not merely for show.

The truth had already been discovered as soon as the incident occurred, there was no need for further discussion.

Yet here was Luo Mianyi, relying on Yue Tianhao’s trust, continuing her charade. Did she think she could easily close this case for the sake of Yue Tianhao?

She should think again!

"Mother, this matter truly has nothing to do with me. I haven’t even seen those assassins."

At this moment, Luo Mianyi had also calmed down; as long as she denied everything, no one could do anything to her.

"Mother, you can’t believe the one-sided words of others and suspect your own daughter-in-law. Who knows if some people, seeing the many treasures of the Yue Clan, sent these assassins to create trouble?

By pinning this on me, they just want us to pay them off to settle this matter, but you must not fall for their wicked schemes," she said.

As she spoke, her gaze boldly met that of Sui Zimo and his group.

She was truly clever, directly blaming them would suffice, especially since Nanny Liu was no longer here, she could say whatever she wanted, couldn’t she?

However, as beautiful as Luo Mianyi’s thoughts were, some people simply weren’t having it.

"You’re lying, we have never coveted your treasures. If your nanny hadn’t come to us asking to kill the Eldest Young Master, why would we even be here?

Although we are involved in the business of killing, we never partake in acts of thievery, stop slandering us!" the leader of the assassins shot back immediately after hearing Luo Mianyi’s accusation, thinking it was targeted at them.
