Chapter 451 - The Real Murderer That Killed Grandma Is Her

Lian Yun was the one who had screamed.

She had taken out her phone, wanting to make a call but there was no signal.

She saw an old face the moment the phone's screen lit up.

The face was right next to her.

Lian Yun's lips trembled. She waited for her heart to calm down before she directed her phone towards that direction again.

The old face entered her vision once more.

The blurred eyes had two drops of bloodied tears falling from them as well.

The face was as pale as a piece of paper under the flashlight from the phone.

Lian Yun did not know if she was hallucinating, but she felt the air around her turn cold.

"Lian Yun, why did you harm me?" A dark and gloomy voice came from the old lady's mouth.

Lian Yun hurriedly stood up from the chair in fear. She wanted to run away, but her wrist was caught by the old lady suddenly.

The old lady's hand was so cold it felt like she had just come from the freezing cold hell.

Lian Yun's pupils constricted in fear. She kept shaking her head. "It's impossible. It's impossible. The Old Madam is dead. Where did you come from? Stop acting as a ghost to scare me!"

Lian Yun looked around her. She did not know what the people around her were doing. They were all lying on the table quietly, while some had even fallen on the floor.

No one came forward to help her.

"Lian Yun, why did you harm me?"

The old lady's grip on Lian Yun's wrist tightened, and Lian Yun felt so much pain that it felt like her bones were going to break.

Xue'er, who was still standing on stage, widened her eyes when she saw this. Her lips trembled, "Grandma? Grandma isn't dead yet?"

How was it possible?

That day in the emergency room, Mu Sihan and her had seen for themselves that Grandma had closed her eyes as the wavy line on the life detector became a straight line.

Also, Grandma was clearly lying in the coffin at her funeral. She did not move at all and was sent to be incinerated later.

Could it be that the one that appeared now was Grandma's soul?

Xue'er jumped down from the stage, falling accidentally from having run too quick.

She endured the pain and got up from the floor.

"Grandma, are you back, Grandma? Xue'er missed you so much…" Mu Sihan confessing to another woman in front of the entire world was a humiliation that was more painful than death to her.

She treated him so well and liked him so much since they were young, but all she had in exchange was him treating her like that.

She only had Grandma to dote on her. She would not have any family from now on.

Lian Yun's face paled when she saw Xue'er running towards the old lady as she kept shouting 'Grandma'. She could not even speak properly anymore. "Old lady, every wrong was instigated by someone. The person that really harmed you was your granddaughter, you go look for her!"

Xue'er was completely shocked when she heard Lian Yun's words. Her throat seemed to have been choked by an invisible hand, "Mom… what are you talking about?"

Lian Yun could not get out of the old lady's grip on her wrist. She was so scared her soul was flying away and she lost all her rationality. All the words that she should say and not say all seemed to rush out of her mouth like she was pouring something out, "When I just returned to the country, I met the damned old lady during a meal. I told her to encourage Sihan to leave Nan Zhi, but not only did she not listen to me, she even childed me for caring too much about the Mu family's business.

"That damned old lady, she already hated me from before when I divorced your father. She still hated me after so many years. Doesn't she only have a few years left to live? Ha, then I'll make her death be worth it."

Xue'er widened her eyes, not knowing what Lian Yun was saying.

Lian Yun's lips were trembling terribly as she screeched, "Doesn't the Old Madam require the assistance of the incense to fall asleep every night? When she ran out of incense that day, you went out to help her buy more and I got my people to change the incense you bought halfway through. Although it's the same, I added a scentless ingredient inside that made the Old Madam get hallucinations and lose her sanity after she smelled it for seven days."

"I got someone to take photos of Nan Zhi hurting Mu Sihan, and the photos of you wiping your tears secretly and sent them to the Old Madam. Under the effects of that ingredient, her thoughts would wander and treat Nan Zhi as a completely evil woman. That was why she went to Nan Zhi, and she got angrier as she continued to think about it after Nan Zhi rejected her request. The more she thought about it, the more she felt like you had no one to lean on in the future, and she suffered a heart attack and passed away from it."

Xue'er fell to the floor with weak legs.

Her tears fell uncontrollably, drop by drop onto the cold hard floor.

She thought that Nan Zhi was the one who had caused Grandma's death at first, she had never thought that it was her biological mother who had murdered her grandma.

At the same time, she had unknowingly become an accomplice.

A loud clap sounded, and the lights in the banquet hall lit up again.

Lian Yun looked around away, and the old lady that was grabbing her wrist had unknowingly disappeared.

The guests that were unconscious around her had woken up unknowingly.

The speakers in the banquet hall were replaying the words that Lian Yun had said just now.

It was then that Lian Yun realized that she had fallen into a trap set by Mu Sihan.

The old lady earlier was not the real Old Madam at all, and was just a fake old lady hired by Mu Sihan to scare her!

Lian Yun turned to look at the handsome and aloof man still standing on stage. She gritted her teeth in hatred and spat her next words, "Mu Sihan, I can say that I made no mistakes. Besides, the doctor already said that the Old Madam had passed away from a heart attack. How did you find out?"

Mu Sihan's dark and sharp gaze turned towards Lian Yun. "I started suspecting from the moment I saw the video of Grandma kneeling down to beg Nan Zhi. Grandma is usually very lofty and upright. She said once that she would kneel to the skies, to the gods, and to the ancestors, but she world never kneel to those younger than her. Even if she approached Nan Zhi for Xue'er, she would never kneel to beg her, unless something had triggered her or that her mental state was not normal.

"I promised to hold this engagement part with Xue'er only because I hadn't found out how the murderer killed Grandma. I had also finally found something in my investigation about Nan Zhi's uncle, An Zhun's accident these few days.

"Lian Yun, before you got married to my adopted father, the man you really loved was An Zhun, right? You also got a divorce for him, but you never managed to get him and that was why you used the same method to kill him."

Lian Yun took two steps back suddenly, "I-I didn't…"

"That year, the man that you eloped with was from Da Shan Li in South East Asia and he gave you two portions of this herb that would cause a person to hallucinate and go crazy. You'd planned to use the portion that you used on the Old Madam on my adopted father back then, but you didn't expect that An Zhun would get a hallucination and get into an accident with my adopted father."

The guests were all extremely surprised when they heard this scary incident. No one even questioned why they lost consciousness for a short while earlier, and all started to condemn Lian Yun.

They were all saying that she was the most vicious woman alive.

Lian Yun teared up when she thought about An Zhun, she was heartbroken and filled with hatred. "An Zhun caused his own death. It was fine if he fell for anyone else, who asked him to fall for his older sister?"

Mu Sihan furrowed his straight eyebrows.

The person that Kitten's uncle liked was her mother? Was he crazy?
