Qi Ling's gaze was sharp as he looked towards Liu Lingli.
Liu Lingli was startled and covered her mouth, knowing she had misspoken.
"I didn't say there was poison in it, how did you know there was poison?" Qi Ling asked, seeming to confirm that Liu Lingli was indeed as suspicious as He Tiantian had described.
"I... I was just guessing." Liu Lingli argued, "When people talk about putting something in cakes, isn't it usually poison?"
"Heh!" Qi Ling sneered, "You certainly have a sharp tongue!"
Liu Lingli's face turned pale as she tried to keep her composure, stammering, "I really don't know anything, and I'm not the one who poisoned them. I'm from the same hometown as the He Tiantian family; I have no grudges against them. Why would I poison them? I absolutely have no reason or motive to do so!"
Old Man Hu, hearing what Qi Ling said, also pleaded, "My daughter-in-law is not like that; we wouldn't poison anyone."
