Chapter 556 - 215 Achievement Calculation (Part 2)
Ma Chengteng heard Lian Dongfang say the real murderer was a Maternal Auntie, and he couldn’t help sneering continuously, "I didn’t expect that the mastermind you’ve uncovered in the end is truly a Maternal Auntie."
Lian Dongfang’s complexion turned green, but he had no words for rebuttal; they were at fault and had allowed the Ma Family to gain the upper hand. Now, arguing with Ma Chengteng would only add to the embarrassment.
Lian Dongfang now detested the Mo family to the core.
Ma Chengteng, looking at Lian Dongfang still trying to shield the main culprit, laughed instead of getting angry, "Last time, the rumor that Yueyao was a Jinx was spread by a Maternal Auntie, and now, the one trying to murder Yueyao is yet another Maternal Auntie. Tell me, what kind of deep hatred could a ten-year-old child like Yueyao have incurred with your Maternal Aunties to make them repeatedly harm her? People have reasons for committing evil deeds. Yueyao has no conflict of interest with these Maternal Aunties, not to mention they hardly even come into contact with each other on normal days. These Maternal Aunties aren’t mad, so why would they one after another target Yueyao?"
Lian Dongfang passed the confession of Maternal Aunt Bu to Ma Chengteng.
But Ma Chengteng didn’t take it, saying, "Yueyao struggles at every turn in the Lian Mansion, yet each time I ask her, she always says she is doing very well there, so well that now she’s almost lost her life. If I continue to allow you to mistreat her, I’m afraid the next encounter I’ll have will be with Yueyao’s body."
Lian Dongfang, seeing the look on Ma Chengteng’s face, knew he had other plans and would not stop unless satisfied. Left with no choice, he asked, "Brother Ma, what exactly do you want?"
Ma Chengteng had already made up his mind; that’s why he didn’t send people to follow Lian Dongfang during the questioning of the maids and old nannies: "I want to take Yueyao back to my mansion. When the Old Madam was around, Yueyao lived securely without incident. Since the Old Madam passed away, first there were the rumors, then the carriage accident, and now the poisoning. If this happens again, I’m certain I won’t see my niece alive."
