The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 432 - Chapter 432 Chapter 432 The Person Behind

Chapter 432: Chapter 432: The Person Behind Chapter 432: Chapter 432: The Person Behind The moment those three words came out, Li Yiqiu’s already pale face turned even whiter, becoming somewhat transparent, and that complexion vaguely exuded an air of defeat.

If just moments ago she had thought that Zhong Niangyao was deceiving her, now she fully believed it. Because the matter of using Zhong Niangyao’s Heart Blood to treat her son was something only she knew. Even her husband, she had not informed. Now that Zhong Niangyao could know about the Heart Blood, it was certain she also knew that she had done it on purpose.

No wonder the looks from the others were so strange when they looked at her. No wonder her husband, who had been defending her this whole time, was now silent. Original—-

It turned out everyone already knew, knew she had done it intentionally, and also knew her purpose.

“Second Aunt, who told you to do such a thing?” Zhong Niangyao pressed again, “Who taught you to use Heart Blood to treat illness? And why did it have to be my Heart Blood?”

This was what she urgently wanted to know, to find out who was plotting against her from behind.

It was very clear that this incident was targeted at her. The one lurking behind was eyeing her covetously, and naturally, she intended to find them out.

However, she also felt that the chance of finding the person hidden in the dark was not high. During the hypnosis just now, Li Yiqiu had not been able to name that person. Now, it was even more difficult to ask.

“I—-” Li Yiqiu opened her mouth, wanting to defend herself.

But as soon as she spoke, she didn’t know what to say.

“Second Aunt.” Zhong Niangyao’s gaze was sharp as she looked at Li Yiqiu, then spoke, “Everyone already knows what you’ve done, do you feel there’s any necessity to keep hiding it?”

At this point, Li Yiqiu also knew she could no longer keep hiding things, so she intended to reveal everything. Only, for some reason, she just couldn’t remember who had taught her this method, or even where the idea had come from, whether it was taught to her or if she had seen it somewhere.

The more she thought about it, the more her head began to hurt, her mind became a total blank, unable to remember anything at all.

In the end, all she could remember was that if she could get her hands on Zhong Niangyao’s Heart Blood, her son could recover his health.

Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao looked at each other, seeing gravity in each other’s eyes. Clearly, they had both guessed that Li Yiqiu remembered nothing.

It seemed that Li Yiqiu’s sudden frenzy was not an accidental incident but an inevitable one. As soon as Li Yiqiu planned to reveal who was behind the mischief, her memory of that person completely vanished from her mind.

The person who could do this was definitely not ordinary. This person was not only a cultivator but also had a high level of cultivation.

“Just spit it out!”

Zhong Mingyu, unaware of Li Yiqiu’s condition, kept urging her from the side, “After doing such a thing, hurry up and reveal the instigator. Maybe you can redeem yourself. Otherwise, no one will forgive you.”

Li Yiqiu’s face was white as a sheet, her head drooped, her voice so low it was hardly audible, “I… I can’t remember.”

It was neither a lie nor an excuse; it was the truth. She really had forgotten.

“You—-” Zhong Mingyu did not believe Li Yiqiu’s words, his face showing disappointment, “I don’t even know how to describe you now. Even at this point, you’re still trying to conceal the truth.”

“I’m not.” Li Yiqiu shook her head hastily in denial, “I really can’t remember, and I don’t know where I heard about the method. I just wanted to try it out for our son!”

“Aiya, sister-in-law, do you even believe what you’re saying?” Zheng Silin spoke sarcastically, “You were capable of taking someone’s Heart Blood, and now you say you don’t know where you heard such a ridiculous method.”

“If it was really something you overheard, why did it specifically have to be Nianyao’s Heart Blood?” Zheng Silin found it laughable, “Or is it because you once begged Nianyao to help your son, and since Nianyao couldn’t help, you held a grudge and did it deliberately?”

Upon these words, everyone remembered the incident. Li Yiqiu had stubbornly believed that Zhong Niangyao could surely cure her son.

Zhong Niangyao outright refused, saying she was powerless to help.

Could it be that Li Yiqiu was really acting out of private revenge?

At this moment, Li Yiqiu truly experienced what it meant to be at a loss for words.

She wanted to speak in her defense, but upon opening her mouth she found she didn’t know what to say. She felt utterly bewildered.

“Old Sir Zhong, Old Madam Zhong.”

Lu Yichen, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, his voice cold. Along with his expressionless face, it made everyone present straighten up reflexively.

Although he had not expressed any opinion from beginning to end, his presence was very strong and no one dared to ignore him.

As he suddenly spoke, everyone’s hearts lurched.

Li Yiqiu couldn’t help but shiver, and when her gaze fell on the blood-soaked bandage in Lu Yichen’s hand, her sense of panic deepened.

“Third Young Master Lu, you—-” Old Master Zhong just began to speak when he was interrupted by Lu Yichen.

“Just call me Yichen, Old Sir.”

“All right, Yichen.” Old Master Zhong didn’t linger on formalities and went straight to the point, “What would you like to say?”

“Old Sir, regardless of whether there is someone behind all this, or who that person might be, it doesn’t change one fact, Second Madam did it on purpose. Her goal was to harm Yaoyao.”

Lu Yichen’s gaze grew even colder, “Continuing to investigate who said what is meaningless. The important thing is, how should we deal with the instigator?”

With these words, everyone’s gaze turned to Li Yiqiu.

They all understood very well that she might not get through this ordeal today. Lu Yichen’s attitude had already explained one thing quite clearly — he was not going to let Li Yiqiu off the hook.

Li Yiqiu sat there, panic and confusion evident in her eyes.
