Shen Tong’s voice was sincere as she quickly said,””You know Elder Xu, so you should know the identity of the person my elder sister married. She has been very careful all these years. If this thing is poisonous, then she definitely did it unintentionally. Miss Jing, I still hope that you can treat it as an accident. I’ll definitely ask her later…”
“She and I are not that kind of vicious people. Moreover, we have no grudges against the three of you. Why would we be so ruthless?”
Although Jing Yunzhao knew Elder Xu, she did not know much about his family.
“Yesterday, you said that Aunt Chen Xi was very flustered when she saw me and Elder Xu, right?”Jing Yunzhao asked after thinking about it carefully.
The only connection she had with the Xu family was Xu Xianlan. Both Elder Xu and Xu Xingyuan had told her that her face looked very similar to Xu Xianlan’s. If it were not for the fact that they did not match in all aspects, they would have even suspected that she was Xu Xianlan’s daughter.
“That’s right, but she said that it was only because she was feeling dizzy and uncomfortable. There’s no reason for my elder sister to be like that…” Shen Tong was also puzzled.
Even though her eldest sister had explained it to her, her suspicions had always been there.
“Did Chen Xi have a good relationship with her sister-in-law, Xu Xianlan?”Jing Yunzhao asked after a few seconds.
Shen Tong was stunned.
“Why did you mention Xu Xianlan?”
“Aunt Tong, if that big sister of yours was really flustered because of me, then the reason must be because of Xu Xianlan. I’m sure I’ve never met Chen Xi before, but Xu Xianlan is related to her, and I look about 60 – 70% similar to Xu Xianlan. If you look at me from afar and don’t pay attention to my temperament, I’m afraid the degree of similarity is even greater.”Jing Yunzhao told him the truth.
When Shen Tong heard this, she became even more surprised.
Was it really because of this?
“Xu Xianlan…Back then, she was a very famous talented woman. My elder sister told me that if Xu Xianlan were to walk the path of acting, even I wouldn’t be able to eat. I heard that she was familiar with ancient scriptures since she was young and knew how to play the zither, go, and calligraphy. She was completely different from women of our family background. In terms of personality, I only heard that she was very amiable. Actually, when she got into trouble back then, I was already overseas. I only heard from my elder sister that they were very close, like sisters.”Shen Tong seemed to be immersed in her memories.
Jing Yunzhao was getting more and more confused. The more she explained, the more Shen Xi seemed to be a perfect person.
Elder Xu had only gone to the county town in recent years. He used to live with his children, grandchildren, and daughter-in-law. With his temper, if Chen Xi had done something bad, he would have been kicked out long ago.
However, the more innocent Shen Xi was, the more she felt that it was abnormal.
She was in the Xu family, and her husband was not simple. She had left a good impression on people for decades, but why would she suddenly give two problematic things one day?
Jing Yunzhao furrowed her brows as she tried to sort out her thoughts.
If she, Hai Qing, and the other two had an accident because they drank the medicinal wine, what would happen then? Although the medicinal wine was given by her, the Xu family was a pharmaceutical family. It was understandable that accidents occasionally occurred, but as Shen Tong who personally brought the wine to her, it was definitely ruined.
It would definitely spread.
She was once a celebrity, so things would go out of control in the end. Her reputation would be ruined, and the business of the places where people died would definitely get worse. In short, her life would definitely not be good.
Since she was dead, Elder Xu had suffered the pain of losing his daughter. This time, he would definitely suffer a huge blow. Since the wine came from the Xu family, Elder Xu’s relationship with his descendants would definitely worsen.
However, even though she could extend it so much, she still had a feeling that she had not found the key.
That was, if she died, Chen Xi…What could he obtain? After all, Elder Xu and the descendants of the Xu family were already in a bad situation. There was no need to do anything unnecessary. If they were only targeting Shen Tong, they could have changed to anyone else. There were so many guests here. Any one of them would have been fine. Why would they target her?
Jing Yunzhao felt a headache coming on.
