Hearing this, Qu Rou immediately shut up.
Seeing the two of them fighting, Mo Rao gained an understanding of the Qu family’s internal strife.
Presumably, due to the struggle to obtain assets, Qu Xue and Qu Qin didn’t get along with Qu Jian. This caused their children to be at odds as well.
Could it be that Old Madam Qu’s poison was also Qu Xue and Qu Qin’s doing?
Cold sweat broke out on Mo Rao’s back. These two people had done that to their biological sister when they were still young. Now, they were doing this to their own mother?
Words were useless. Mo Rao had to find evidence.
At night, the Qu family’s home was silent, but Mo Rao tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Just as she was tossing and turning, her phone rang.
It was Fu Ying.
Seeing the two words on the screen, Mo Rao felt extremely conflicted.
She didn’t want to interact too much with Fu Ying, although Fu Ying had helped her a lot recently.
But…
According to Fu Ying’s personality, if she didn’t answer the phone, he would definitely keep calling.
Mo Rao took a deep breath and chose to answer the call.
“Rao Rao, are you doing well in the Qu family?” The silence of the night, coupled with Fu Ying’s low voice, made the night seem more cozy and serene.
Mo Rao lay quietly on the bed as she replied, “It’s quite good. It’s just that…”
“What is it?” Fu Ying immediately sounded nervous.
“When I performed acupuncture on Old Madam Qu today, I realized that there was a slow-acting poison in her body. Someone from the Qu family poisoned her.” Mo Rao finally decided to tell Fu Ying about this.
Fu Ying was stunned. He clearly didn’t expect anyone from the Qu family to dare to do such a thing.
“Do you know who it is?” Fu Ying asked.
“I guess it’s either Qu Xue or Qu Qin. As for determining who it is, I have to find more evidence.”
At the thought of Mo Rao facing so many evil people alone, Fu Ying was extremely worried. “Can you handle it alone? Do you need my help?”
“No need.” Mo Rao rejected. She didn’t want to owe Fu Ying a favor anymore.
Although she said that, Fu Ying still sent a few bodyguards to guard the Qu family’s residence after talking to Mo Rao, just in case.
For a few days, Mo Rao didn’t discover anything.
Her daily life was to accompany Old Madam Qu, give her acupuncture treatment, and bicker with the people in the Qu family who couldn’t stand her.
That night, as usual, Mo Rao pretended to go to the washroom in order to eavesdrop.
Just as she thought that nothing would happen, the light in the kitchen caught her attention.
Mo Rao hid in the dark and looked over. She saw Qu Xue standing in the kitchen, pouring something into the medicine on the stove.
After stirring for a while, Qu Xue took out a bowl of medicine and walked towards Old Madam Qu’s room.
Under the light, Qu Xue’s face was like that of a vicious witch from a fairy tale.
Mo Rao was shocked and hurriedly returned to her room. She jumped nimbly from the window into the garden and ran towards Old Madam Qu’s room.
Old Madam Qu’s room happened to be on the first floor. Mo Rao, who was hiding in the bushes, could see Qu Xue’s every move.
Qu Xue had already walked to Old Madam Qu’s bed and called out to her.
“Huh?” Old Madam Qu let out a moan, but she was still semi-conscious.
“Mom, I’ll feed you medicine.” Qu Xue gently helped Old Madam Qu up and poured the bowl of poison into her mouth.
When Qu Xue drugged the bowl, Mo Rao had taken photos as evidence. Now, she secretly recorded the entire process with her phone from outside the window.
“Mom, don’t blame me for being so cruel to you. You’ve always been biased towards my oldest brother. I have to take back what belongs to me,” Qu Xue said fiercely as she fed Old Madam Qu medicine.
“Who is it?!” Suddenly, Qu Xue was startled and turned to look out of the window.
Fortunately, Mo Rao reacted in time. Before Qu Xue could discover her, she had already hidden in the bushes, quickly returned to the house, and ran towards her room.
Qu Xue’s heart skipped a beat. She walked to the window to investigate. Fortunately, there was no one there.
Mo Rao’s heart was pounding as she lay back on the bed. Everything she had guessed was true.
With this video, it would be easy to take down Qu Xue. However, she had to find evidence of her mother being set up by Qu Xue.
