Emperor Phoenix World

Nanny Liu harbored resentment toward both Ye Mo and the second lady. However, she never imagined that if Ye Mo hadn’t been able to detect the poison in the chicken soup, it would have been Ye Mo who met her fate at this moment.

“Daddy, did you see that?” Yemo looked at Ye Zheng with a smile. “I mentioned earlier that even when it comes to eating, it’s safer than traveling halfway.”

Ye Zheng wasn’t foolish; he quickly pieced together the entire situation. Aunt Liu had brought the chicken soup at the second lady’s request. Furthermore, Aunt Liu had always been in the second lady’s service since she was part of the second lady’s dowry.

Thinking this through, Ye Zheng’s face turned particularly grim. He had warned Ye Mo just this afternoon, yet not only did she ignore his warning, but she also returned to the mansion at night.

“Yilin, Yiluo, let’s leave. This chicken soup isn’t safe. I’ve just discovered it. I must thank Yilin for making the chicken soup for me. The soup appears to be discolored, but it’s only because I’ve had a lot of chicken soup. If there’s anything wrong with the color, I wouldn’t be able to tell, so it’s best if we refrain from eating it.”

“Miss is absolutely right,” Yilin added, shooting a mocking look at the second lady.

Their young lady was an expert in poison craft. Her ailment was the only reason she remained healthy and improving. With the right medicinal ingredients, her condition could have been cured long ago.

“Yemo, stop,” Yeyan stood up and approached Yemo. “Why didn’t you give the detoxification pill to Nanny Liu but gave it to the dog?”

“I simply preferred it that way. What’s it to you?” Yemo glanced indifferently at Yeyan. “She deliberately poisoned me in the chicken soup. Why should I save her?”

“But you’re fine now,” Yeyan retorted angrily.

Aunt Liu had been very kind to her, and she had been her mother’s dowry nanny. Yeyan had her suspicions that her mother was behind the events of the day, but when she saw Ye Mo prioritizing the dog’s life over Nanny Liu’s, her anger flared.

“Yeyan, have you lost your mind? If I hadn’t detected something wrong with the chicken soup, it would have been me lying here now. I won’t spare anyone who harms me. She wanted to harm me, so why should I save her? Understand this well. I chose to save the dog because in my eyes, it’s worth more than her,” Yemo replied firmly.

Ye Zheng clenched his fists, his face contorted with anger. Yemo had just returned today, and already, there were two casualties within the mansion—one guard and one nanny. Nevertheless, in Ye Zheng’s opinion, these two individuals deserved their fate.

“You’re worth less than a dog, and your whole family is worth less than a dog,” Yeyan retorted, her anger flaring once more.

“Is that so?” Yemo smiled half-heartedly at Yeyan’s words. “I’ve never heard of someone calling themselves a dog and even including their own father, mother, and younger brother in the insult. Quite unusual, isn’t it?”

“Second sister,” Yetian interjected, rushing over to pull Yeyan aside, and then addressing Yemo, “Fifth sister, please don’t be angry. Nanny Liu was the second sister’s nanny, and she took excellent care of the second sister since childhood. So when she passed away, the second sister was deeply saddened, which may have caused her to act inappropriately.”

“Inappropriate?” Yemo sneered, “If the second sister is considered inappropriate at the age of thirteen, should I be considered even more so at seven?”

“This…” Ye Tian found himself at a loss for words, unsure of how to respond in this situation. In her condition, his elder sister had been challenging to deal with.

In such a situation, it would be beneficial if their eldest brother were present.
