Poisoning the old man...
With just one sentence, Baili Xia halted her steps instantly.
Standing at the stairway, her whole body stiffened.
The voice... it's Uncle's.
And the person he's talking about, the one who poisoned, is...
Soon, another familiar voice pierced her eardrums harshly.
"Mr. Xiaojiu, I just wanted to help you, I meant well."
Baili Xia's palm tightened, she nearly couldn't keep standing.
The person who poisoned may be anyone, but she can imagine anyone, except she can't associate her with this.
Because it's impossible, truly impossible.
In the entire Mu family, she is the most loved by the old man, the one he pities the most.
Even she as an outsider can easily see, the old man loves her more than his own life.
Saying she's just a granddaughter of an old comrade, this has already made Baili Xia suspicious.
Just like back then, when the old man doted on her, compared to Mu Ziying and Mu Ziqing, the difference was too great.
