Chapter 1606

“Why would I harm Grandpa for no reason?”

“He’s not your Grandpa; you have no right to call him that!”

Mu Dongyu interrupted Baili Xia harshly, “You stayed in the Mu family with ulterior motives from the start, and now your true colors are showing, aren’t they?”

“Tell me, how exactly did you poison my father?

What is it that you people want?”

“I’ve said it before, I did not poison anyone.” Despite whether her words carried weight, Baili Xia insisted on defending herself.

“Today’s meals can be checked by everyone to see where the problem lies.”

“If there really is a problem, then accuse me.

Of course, even if there is a problem, it wasn’t my doing, everyone who had contact with the food today is a suspect.”

“Miss Xiaxia, it was you alone who handled all the food!”

The maid immediately came over, speaking nervously, “Miss Xiaxia, how could we harm the master?

Miss Xiaxia, don’t falsely accuse us.”

The maids behind her were all pale with fright, yet each looked at Baili Xia with resentful eyes.

Why drag them through the mud for no reason?

Poisoning the master is such a serious matter; being wrongly accused would ruin their lives.

“How many more people do you want to falsely accuse?” Mu Dongyu pointed at Baili Xia, stepping closer.

“You’re with Mu Xiaojiu. It must be Mu Xiaojiu’s guilty conscience, afraid of being exposed for his deeds, so he sent you to harm my father!”

Just as Mu Dongyu was about to step closer, Zimo, who was standing behind Mu Lingchuan, couldn’t hold back anymore.

She walked to Baili Xia in a few steps, blocking Mu Dongyu’s path.

Mu Dongyu sized up Zimo with anger and said:

“Who are you? How dare you block me in the Mu family?”

Zimo didn’t respond, she simply stared coldly at Mu Dongyu with her eyes wide open.

No matter who this person was, or how powerful he might be, as long as she was here, no one could harm Xiaxia!

Mu Lingchuan didn’t expect Zimo to stand up for Baili Xia so swiftly.

But facing his own father, he didn’t want to say much.

He could only walk over, face Mu Dongyu, and say calmly, “She is my personal bodyguard, Zimo, currently residing in the main house.”

Mu Dongyu turned his gaze to Mu Lingchuan with evident anger in his voice.

“Even your bodyguard dares to treat me like this? Won’t you manage it?”

Just as Mu Lingchuan was about to speak, Mu Xiaoyao grabbed Baili Xia and pulled her behind him.

“Dad, this matter has nothing to do with Xiaxia, she would not poison Grandpa.”

“You…” Mu Dongyu did not expect his son to defend an outsider like this and was momentarily at a loss for words.

Ning Anran stood aside, only watching everything unfold with indifference, without speaking.

After a while, Mu Dongyu snorted coldly, his gaze falling on Mu Lingchuan.

“What do you say?”

Mu Lingchuan was slightly stunned, not expecting Mu Dongyu to ask him like that.

This straightforward question was meant to make him state his stance.

However, Mu Lingchuan was clear about Baili Xia’s character, she wasn’t someone who would poison the elderly master.

Besides, birds of a feather flock together.

A friend of someone as innocent as Zimo couldn’t be that bad, either.

He didn’t speak, just walked over to stand beside Zimo, his stance obvious.

Mu Dongyu was so furious that he became somewhat incoherent, his words tinged with a hint of sorrow.

“Fine, fine, you all are great; I, Mu Dongyu, have raised two wonderful sons!”
