In the living room, there was deathly silence.
Xi Zhimo quietly sat on the main seat and smoked, his eagle-like black pupils swept over everyone present from time to time.
He didn't speak, and the others naturally didn't dare to say anything.
It wasn't until a cigar was almost finished that he raised his eyes and said coldly, "Who did it to grandpa's poisoning?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Xi family exploded.
The boss of Xi's family shouted loudly: "What! Dad is poisoned? Isn't it a relapse of old illness?"
The eldest lady looked at Xi Zhimo with a face full of fear, "What's going on? Why is there poison in the house?"
The second son of the Xi family was a little angry, "Zhimo, are you suspicious of us? How could we murder our own father!"
The third child in Xi's family adjusted his glasses, "Second Brother, after all, Dad was poisoned at home, so it's only natural for Mo'er to be suspicious."
The fifth child of the Xi family said aggrievedly: "If the fourth brother is still here, he will definitely not doubt us. After all, blood is thicker than water."
'Blood is thicker than water', he said it more emphatically.
Although the other wives and young masters and ladies of the Xi family didn't make a sound, their faces were full of panic.
Xi Zhimo put down his legs and stood up. Suddenly, his whole body was filled with a strong sense of oppression, "I know what's going on in each of you. Blood is thicker than water? Well said! Then I will see Give you a chance for the sake of 'blood is thicker than water'! If any of you do this and stand up by yourself in a minute, I can let you live! Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel and disregarding blood mutual affection!"
When he said this, the sinister and cruel look in his eyes was obvious, and they all knew that he was not joking!
For a while, the room fell into silence again.
Everyone looked at the other people present, and the expressions on their faces changed from initial grievance and anger to suspicion and suspicion.
A minute later, still no one spoke.
Xi Zhimo snuffed out the cigar in his hand, and said in a piercingly cold voice, "Very good! You better not let me find out that this matter is related to any of you, otherwise I won't guarantee what will happen to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the second wife hurriedly said: "Zhimo, I don't think our own family did it. What good does it do us? An outsider came to the house yesterday, maybe it was her!"
Xi Zhimo asked sharply, "Who has been here?"
The second lady looked troubled, she brushed her hair and said, "It's your girlfriend, that woman named Wang Qingyu."
The third lady also quickly said: "Yes, yes! I also remembered, and I heard that she came here specially to find Dad!"
The fifth lady also suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, yes! I also know about this. I just bought a new bag and came home. When I passed by Dad's yard, I happened to see her go in."
Xi Zhimo said coldly: "I don't seem to have brought her here before, do you all know her?"
The wives all showed embarrassment, and the second lady said calmly: "Your girlfriend, we as aunts are naturally more concerned."
Xi Zhimo pursed his thin lips tightly, he didn't expect that their spying and guarding against him in private was more serious than he imagined.
After a while, he said in a deep voice: "She is not my girlfriend, I will find out about this matter."
At this moment, Cheng Yiqing walked in. Seeing such a big place, he held back what he wanted to say.
Seeing him coming in, Xi Zhimo hurriedly asked, "Grandpa is awake?"
"Well, Director Xi wants to see you."
"This matter is not allowed to publicize to the outside world, let's go!"
After Xi Zhimo finished speaking to the crowd, he left the table domineeringly.
