Seeing Xue Rong at a disadvantage and looking at the current situation in the house, even a fool could tell who’s in charge now.

Once the servant understood the situation, how could they dare continue to conceal anything for Xue Rong? They quickly spoke up to beg for mercy, "I’ll say it, I’ll say everything! I just beg you to spare me! Don’t send me to jail! I was forced, threatened by Madam, I had no choice!"

Pete impatiently said, "Don’t waste time, speak quickly!"

Terrified, the servant couldn’t help but shiver, stammering, "This is how it went! About a month ago, Madam found me and asked me to drug the ginseng tea that Master used every day! I asked what it was, and Madam only said it was a tonic! Because I had never seen that kind of tonic before, I didn’t dare to agree easily! Madam threatened me that if I didn’t agree, she would fire me and I would never be able to stand in Du City again! I had no choice but to agree! I would put a little in Master’s ginseng tea every day! At first, Master’s health showed no change, and I thought it really was a tonic, didn’t think much of it! Then about ten days later, Master suddenly began to lack energy, always looking sleepy and unable to stay awake! At the time, I didn’t think much of it either, continuing to add Madam’s ’tonic’ to Master’s ginseng tea! Then, five days later, Master was directly bedridden, comatose, not even having an appetite for three meals a day, relying almost exclusively on nutritional drips! Gradually, I noticed something strange, took the ’tonic’ given by Madam to confront her! Madam forbade me to ask anything, just instructed me to continue adding it to Master’s ginseng tea every day! I didn’t dare not to listen, so I followed her instructions, adding it every day without missing a day!"

The more Ye Anxin and Pete listened, the darker their expressions became!

Things had reached this point, even a fool could deduce the strangeness involved!

The so-called tonic Xue Rong gave the servant was definitely not a tonic, it must be ********! That’s why Nan Mingchuan’s health changed, eventually leaving him bedridden!

Thinking of this, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but clench her hands tightly on her lap into fists!

She used to sympathize with her, letting her father go home to treat her well! She never imagined she would be so deliberately scheming to harm her father, slowly stripping him of power in Nanshang Group, trying to control the entire Nanshang Group for herself!

The more she thought, the angrier Ye Anxin became! Any shred of sympathy she held for Xue Rong vanished instantly!

Pete asked, "Do you still have it? Is it still in your possession?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I have it in my pocket!" To offset her guilt, the servant quickly took a small medicine bottle from her clothing pocket and handed it to Pete.

Pete took the bottle, opened the lid, and sniffed the scent of the medicine inside!

There was no special scent, with small white pills inside, and nothing labeled on the bottle; it was impossible to tell what the medicine was in just a moment!

Mu Beiting instructed with an expressionless face, "Take it back, find someone to figure out the ingredients inside!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I know!" Pete nodded, placing the small medicine bottle into his clothing pocket.

After listening to the servant’s words, Nan Mingchuan also had an expression of pain and anger, exclaiming, "Xue Rong, at this point, what can you still argue about? Despite wanting to repair our marital relationship, I never imagined you would treat me like this!"

Seeing things have gotten to this point, Xue Rong’s face turned ashen, and she was too lazy to argue further, saying in despair, "Nan Mingchuan, the reason I’ve ended up like this today, it’s all because you forced me! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have done it! I loved you so much, treated you so well, do you think I don’t know about your secret trips to Jin City to see that bitch Fang Chuo? Ever since twenty-six years ago, your heart has not been with me; only Fang Chuo is in your eyes and heart! If I couldn’t have you, I’ll take what I deserve! Everything from the Nanshang Group was built by us, why should it all fall into the hands of Fang Chuo and her daughter? I refuse, I refuse! So I could only think of a way to take back what I deserve!"

Hearing Xue Rong’s words, Ye Anxin suddenly stood up, losing control as she said, "You’re clearly making excuses for yourself! Even if my dad was wrong, you shouldn’t have poisoned him! You’ve been married for over thirty years; if there was any marital affection, you wouldn’t have done this!"

Xue Rong sneered contemptuously, mocking herself, "Marital affection... Ha...! The moment Fang Chuo appeared, all of our marital affection disappeared! I struggled to maintain it for over thirty years, and what did I get? Nothing! I admit, kidnapping you and your mother last time was my mistake, but afterward, I tried to repent, to save it! But no matter what I did, his heart wasn’t with me; everything I did went in vain! Knowing he frequently saw Fang Chuo, yet I had to pretend not to know! Do you know how much pain and despair I felt when he went to see Fang Chuo? As a woman, would you be satisfied? Seeing the man you love love another woman, and that woman was one you handpicked for him?!"

"Undeniably, my dad going to see my mom was wrong! But didn’t he ultimately return to the family? He hasn’t seen my mom since! Isn’t that enough?" Xue Rong’s words did not quell Ye Anxin’s anger; instead, she grew even angrier!

In her view, every pitiable person is bound to have detestable aspects! While Xue Rong had her pitiful side, that didn’t justify harming others, especially the man she claimed to love!

Xue Rong laughed coldly, "Return to the family? He came back, but his heart didn’t, so what’s the point? You say he hasn’t seen Fang Chuo again, but that’s just your words! When you discovered his affair with Fang Chuo, you stopped them from being together! Though he listened to you and hasn’t appeared in front of Fang Chuo again, he still frequently goes to Jin City to secretly watch her from afar! I’m a woman, I have feelings, I have a heart! Didn’t his actions tear my heart into pieces? As a woman, how could I stand it? That’s why... that’s why I thought of this way, to keep him by my side and control everything, ensuring he can never leave me!"

After hearing Xue Rong’s words, Ye Anxin looked at her father in disbelief!

At first, she thought her father was genuinely persuaded by her, no longer seeing her mother and not hurting the two women!

As it turns out, although he no longer appeared in front of her mother, he was always secretly watching her from the shadows!
