Lin Xiao quickly got the elders' health back on track, with only two more treatments needed to ensure they were completely safe and sound.
The household items were also promptly taken away for examination.
The results wouldn't come back immediately, but Lin蕭 believed this period would be agonizing for the elders.
"Daddy, why did Great-Grandpa look so unhappy when he left?" Xun'er held Lin Xiao's hand, a look of confusion on her face. She didn't understand what was happening; she felt the dinner was exceptionally delicious. "Did he not like the food you cooked?"
"Of course not. Great-Grandpa discovered there were bad people at home, so he had to go back and teach them a lesson," Lin Xiao said softly. He sometimes envied Xun'er; she knew nothing and could simply be adorable. However, he obviously couldn't do that.
"Oh, bad people."
Xun'er then took the soldier boy's hand and said, "Soldier boy, we need to train hard and help Grandpa and Grandma teach bad people a lesson in the future!"
"Mm!"
The soldier boy nodded heavily.
The family, wanting to speak but holding back.
...
Three days later, the test results quickly came out.
The supplements indeed contained nothing, but some items in their usual utensils did.
Although very faint, traces of poison were detected on them.
Investigations confirmed that the nanny was involved.
"Why!"
The old master couldn't understand. At the mansion, he looked at the nanny being led away in handcuffs, his face full of heartache. "You've been with my Luo family for so many years, and I've never mistreated you. Why would you do this?!"
The nanny had been with the Luo family for over a decade, and many of his grandchildren had been cared for by her.
"I'm sorry." She lowered her head, her lips trembling slightly. "I... I did it for money..."
"Money? When did I ever mistreat you?! If you were short on money, you could have told me. You've been with the Luo family for so many years; I could have given you an advance, given you a raise, anything. Why would you do something like this?!" Old Master Luo couldn't comprehend it. His Luo family was immensely wealthy, yet a nanny had poisoned their everyday items for money? What kind of dark joke was this?!
"It... it was because this sum of money was too large." The nanny wore a bitter smile. "My son is getting married."
"I've heard about that too."
Of course, the old master knew. The nanny had mentioned it before and even given them an invitation, anticipating a joyous celebration at the wedding.
"The bride's family wants a house."
"Young people getting married do need a new house for their wedding, which is understandable... I recall you mentioning before that you had the down payment ready." By this time, the old master had calmed down, or rather, he had become accustomed to it, indifferent.
"Yes... the down payment was three hundred thousand, and the bride's family also wanted a betrothal gift of three hundred thousand." Her face was etched with a bitter smile. "My husband and I aren't very capable. We only had over three hundred thousand in savings. We live in a small old house. After paying the three hundred thousand, we had no money left... The young master knew I was out of money, so he asked me to do this. He... he gave me five hundred thousand."
Five hundred thousand was enough to make someone take a desperate risk.
