Chapter 708: Thorough Investigation (Part 1)_1
Yuan Mengzhu and Fang Dehua’s faces turned exceptionally ugly on the spot. How could this be? An incident like this happening right under the noses of everyone in the house—then...
The couple didn’t dare to think further.
Having come from a large household and managed the Fang Family affairs for so many years, Yuan Mengzhu was naturally no pushover. Before, when her son was unwell, she let many things slide, but to have someone poison her son right under her watch was outrageous.
Fang Dehua was even more angered. Wasn’t this a challenge to his authority? If he couldn’t manage his own household, how could he seek justice for the common people?
An investigation had to be conducted, thoroughly and without exception.
"The poison must have been placed in the water," Yang Ruxin didn’t want to get involved in the dark private matters of a grand household, but she also didn’t want Fang Tianze to suffer unjustly. "There are still many guests in the house; it would not be good to alarm them. Let’s start the investigation from the moment Zeze changed his clothes."
Fang Dehua’s gaze towards Yang Ruxin suddenly brightened.
"I will go with the authority," Yang Ruxin didn’t care to consider others. She wanted to find the culprit because looking at Fang Tianze reminded her of Gu Qingheng—such a peerless individual had nearly perished. Therefore, she hated those who operated in secret, "I might be able to find some clues." She was not sensitive to poison, but Xiaolun was.
Fang Dehua naturally welcomed the help.
Fang Tianze had changed his clothes not in his own Xiyue Residence, but in a small courtyard next to the flower hall, which was normally used to store some clothing and food and facilitate rest for those who were tired from strolling. It was also guarded and cleaned by servants.
However, just as they reached the courtyard called Zhi Academy, they saw a servant running over in a panic, whispering something in the butler’s ear, and then retreating.
