Fox Demon: Huaizhu is not a concubine, and hegemony has no wife

Chapter 222 Investigation

Dongfang Huaizhu stood under the eaves, watched Su Mu practice sword for a while, then went out alone silently.

Come to the kitchen

Dongfang Huaizhu was personally decocting medicine for his father by the stove. Beside him, a woman with a better-looking face stood there looking quite uneasy.

Dongfang Huaizhu didn't say anything either, just stared at the stove.

"You're in charge of preparing meals for your father, so you don't know anything?"

While decocting the medicine, Dongfang Huaizhu spoke calmly.

"Miss, you're really wronging me! I've always been diligent and hardworking. How could I dare to betray Shenhuoshan Manor, let alone add anything to the manor owner's food..."

The woman explained in a panic.

Dongfang Huaizhu didn't say anything either, but just silently watched the boiling medicinal herbs in the stove. Her father fell ill for no reason. Before, she didn't think too much about it. After all, her father was old and his body had shown some signs of aging. It was not strange for him to get sick.

But now that I think about it, it feels more and more wrong.

My father has a high level of cultivation. Although he is old, he has always been in good health. How could he suddenly fall ill? Even Doctor Bai Xuan Mo Li couldn't find anything wrong with him. This is very suspicious.

In addition, Dongfang Huaizhu's doubts were increased when he learned from Su Mu that his senior brother Jin Renfeng wanted to seek the "blood exchange method" of the leech demon clan.

Although I personally think that the eldest senior brother Jin Renfeng should not do such a heartless thing, but why would Jin Renfeng seek the "blood transfusion method" of the leech demon clan for no reason?

As a human, the cultivation methods of the demon race do not apply to me.

Then, there is a high probability that Jin Renfeng wants to use the "blood exchange method" to seek the bloodline of the Eastern Spirit Clan.

After all, only the bloodline of the Eastern Spirit Clan can truly master the demon-killing divine fire.

In addition, his father suddenly fell ill out of the blue, and through Dongfang Yuping's recent investigation into the various power and responsibility structures of the villa, he found that Jin Renfeng was almost always involved.

After careful consideration, Dongfang Huaizhu felt terrified. Who would have thought that the gentleman who was highly regarded by the villa, the good disciple of the master, and the good apprentice would think of killing his master?

His father would not be too wary of Jin Renfeng, and he himself would not have thought that Jin Renfeng would do such a rebellious thing. Almost all the people in the villa were controlled by Jin Renfeng.

If Jin Renfeng hadn't died, then success might have been possible.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Huaizhu's heart trembled. Fortunately, Jin Renfeng was already dead, otherwise...

After a while, Dongfang Huaizhu came back to his senses from his thoughts. He raised his eyes and looked indifferently at the woman standing there uneasily.

This girl's name is Weng Jiahan, and she has always been responsible for her father's diet.

"Think about it carefully. If I were to remind you, it wouldn't be as simple as asking you now."

Dongfang Huaizhu glanced at the other person indifferently, then stood up, picked up the medicine pot on the stove, and poured the boiled medicine into the bowl next to him.

After finishing all this, Dongfang Huaizhu set his eyes on Weng Jiahan again: "Have you thought it through? Are there any mistakes or omissions?"

Although the question was asked calmly, Weng Jiahan's heart trembled. She quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Miss, I remembered this. A few months ago, when I was cooking for the owner of the manor, Jin Renfeng came over. I once accidentally saw him put a herb into the stove. I was very curious at the time, so I asked Brother Jin Renfeng. He just said that the owner of the manor was weak, so he put some nutritional supplements in. I took a look at it, and it was indeed a healing and nourishing herb..."

Weng Jiahan's face turned pale as she spoke. Ever since she learned that the owner of the villa had fallen ill for no apparent reason and the doctor was also very worried, she had been feeling uneasy. She had thought about reporting it to her superiors, but when she remembered that Senior Brother Jin Renfeng had come to her residence before leaving and had promised to arrange for her to move to a more powerful position in the villa in the future, and coupled with Jin Renfeng's vague warnings, she suppressed all these thoughts in her heart.

In addition, she didn't think Jin Renfeng would murder the owner of the manor, so she never took it too seriously.

But in recent days, Dongfang Huaizhu has been frequently going in and out of the kitchen, vaguely investigating something, and Dongfang Yuping has also been frequently talking to people, with the spearhead vaguely pointing to the eldest brother Jin Renfeng. Weng Jiahan felt that something was not right.

If the eldest senior brother Jin Renfeng was still alive, Weng Jiahan would never dare to tell anyone about this matter that might involve poisoning the old master. After all, this matter that might involve poisoning the master is an extremely serious matter at any time. It is hard to imagine what serious consequences would be if Jin Renfeng knew about it.

But when he heard that Jin Renfeng was dead, he no longer had such big concerns.

"Big Brother Jin Renfeng came to the kitchen personally to put some things in..."

Dongfang Huaizhu's beautiful eyes sank slightly, and she asked in a cold voice, "Are there any left?"

"No."

Weng Jiahan spoke with a wry smile.

Dongfang Huaizhu didn't say anything. He walked out with the medicine pot in his hand. At the door, Dongfang Yuping had been waiting for a long time.

"Miss."

Dongfang Yuping spoke respectfully.

"Go ahead."

She sighed deeply, "After all, she's an old man in the village. Give her some respect. Later, give her family some generous support."

"Yes, ma'am."

Dongfang Yuping nodded and immediately walked in with two confidants.

Dongfang Huaizhu shook his head and said nothing more. He just carried the medicine bowl and walked towards his father's room. He vaguely heard Weng Jiahan begging for mercy when he was dragged away, but he just lowered his eyebrows slightly.
