Hello Mr. King

Chapter 365: The Secrets of a Big Family

Yun Xiangxiang rubbed herself against Song Mian, and he was enduring his greatest test as he felt her tender body pressing against him.

She was drugged with an extraordinary aphrodisiac, and it was made with an ancient recipe that was used to create women that were used as an outlet for men to vent their lust.

If he didn’t force this aphrodisiac out and cure it by doing the deed with her, Yun Xiangxiang would be fine, but from then onward, she would have an insatiable drive and a sensitive body. She would also have uncontrollable lust.

This could be a lifetime’s worth of trauma for Yun Xiangxiang.

In order to prevent Yun Xiangxiang from not cooperating, Song Mian had to tie her up to administer acupuncture and stabilize the raging effect of the drug. He then called Song Yao.

The drug acted up a few times in the few hours Song Yao took to send the drugs here, and Song Mian had to suppress her.

It was fortunate that this drug was malicious, but it wasn’t deadly in the sense that it would kill if not neutralized immediately.

But as he looked at Yun Xiangxiang’s dried up lips and bandaged arm, she looked like a flower that was going to wilt, and Song Mian felt like killing someone.

Song Yao rushed into the room, and when he felt the heavy killing intent Song Mian was radiating, he quickly placed the first-aid box on the table.

He took out a few glass vials and sucked the medicine into the syringe skilfully before handing it to Song Mian.

Song Mian injected the medicine into Yun Xiangxiang, while Song Yao went to brew the medicine.

Anti-drug drugs took effect quickly, but their side effects were detrimental, and the patient would need to take Chinese medicine to alleviate it.

When Yun Xiangxiang had fallen asleep, Song Mian wetted her lips with a cotton swab and kissed her forehead before turning around and trudging to the Tang residence’s inner hall.

Everyone in the Tang family sat in the hall with solemn looks, and even Master Tang was there.

Something like this happened when a distinguished guest like Song Mian brought his fiancée to their residence. It was a disgrace for them.

“I only care about the results.” Song Mian sounded cold and imposing.

“One is killed, and the other committed suicide.” Tang Zhiyu looked at the two corpses lying in the hall.

They died quick enough. These two had been serving the Tang family for five and seven years, and they were honest, rule-abiding servants.

They would not ask nor speak about what they shouldn’t, so Tang Zhili and Tang Zhiyu were surprised when they saw the corpses’ identities.

“Give me the corpses,” Song Mian left his message coldly as he turned to leave.

The Tang family knew what he was going to do, so Tang Zhili quickly had his servant prepare a room and the tools for Song Mian, while Song Mian changed into a different set of clothes.

Dead men tell no tales, but that didn’t apply to Song Mian. He did the autopsy himself, making deductions based on every little detail and the reactions of their organs. He tried to deduce what these two might have eaten or where could they have gone in these last few hours.

At the same time, Tang Zhiyu and Tang Zhili interrogated their servant’s one by one, starting from the people that were close to the dead servants.

Under the joint investigation of the Song and Tang family, they traced this back to the Tang family’s second madam—Tang Zhiyu and Tang Zhili’s second aunt.

They knew that this couldn’t have been done by an outsider, but even Master Tang couldn’t accept that this conspiracy was done by the usually mild-mannered Mrs. Tang, let alone Tang Zhili and Tang Zhiyu.

Mrs. Tang was not surprised at all when she was found out, and she looked at Song Mian. “I didn’t know you were coming here today.”

She would have changed the plan if she knew, as she had been concocting this conspiracy for a long time. She even went to visit her relatives yesterday so she could have an alibi.

Song Mian only notified Tang Zhili of his arrival after he had disembarked today, and it was already too late when Mrs. Tang found out. She didn’t dare call the people she had arranged for fear she would expose herself, and she came back in a hurry to clean up the traces.

She didn’t want Song Mian to arrive and expose her.

She didn’t expect an episode to happen in between, and the men she arranged took away Tang Suran because the second miss came back, and because her men had taken her money, they went through with the plan, using Yun Xiangxiang as replacement for Tang Suran.

This was an undeserved disaster for Yun Xiangxiang, as Mrs. Tang wanted to sabotage Tang Suran and Tang Zhiyu.

Yun Xiangxiang was shocked when she heard the story after she had woken up. “How much must she hate Tang Zhiyu to make the siblings…”

They’re siblings! Mrs. Tang is terrifying.

“She just wants to create a scandal of incest between them,” Song Mian explained.

Tang Zhiyu wasn’t drugged, nor could he be drugged. Mrs. Tang installed a hidden camera in Tang Suran’s study.

Once Tang Zhiyu noticed something wrong with Tang Suran, they would have some intimate interaction that would be recorded by the camera. If this footage was handed over to the media…

Would Tang Zhiyu stand up for himself? Would he say, “My sister was under the effect of an aphrodisiac, and there’s nothing between us”?

“Even if Tang Zhiyu said that, he couldn’t stop anyone from talking about it, since the footage was filmed in the Tang residence.” Yun Xiangxiang thought Mrs. Tang was a scheming woman.

It was impossible for a young miss to be drugged in her own home, and humans had a bad tendency to believe things that were on the raunchier side.

Tang Zhiyu and Tang Suran would be ruined if the photos and footage were leaked, and the Tang family wouldn’t be able to explain this.

Even if the Tang family exposed this to the public, they would just think the Tang family was sacrificing someone to protect their heir.

“Why does Mrs. Tang hate Tang Zhiyu so much?” Yun Xiangxiang asked Song Mian.

Tang Suran was a talented, opinionated woman, and through their brief getting-along, Yun Xiangxiang thought she wasn’t someone evil. In other words, Tang Suran was dragged down by Tang Zhiyu in this conspiracy of Mrs. Tang.

“She thinks Tang Zhiyu killed her son, the third young master of the Tang family. Master Tang protected Tang Zhiyu because the only heir who’s healthy is him, and Master Tang even took away her husband’s and her husband’s brothers’ power just for Tang Zhiyu.”

This was the secret of big families. The moment they had numbers, there would be infighting, as everyone had their own greed, and no one was willing to be under someone else’s command.

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t ask if Mrs. Tang’s suspicions were real, as that was unrelated to her, and she was uninterested.

She frowned as she thought about it. “Ah Mian, I don’t think this case is as simple as it looks.”

“Huh?” Song Mian touched the space between her eyebrows and ironed out the crease.

“How can a guy who’s bought out be so bold as to change the plan at the last minute?” Yun Xiangxiang thought this was weird. “Nobody can trap Tang Zhiyu, as he is a shrewd man, so they had to create a scandal between him and Tang Suran. He would get close to her out of concern if he knew that Tang Suran is under the effect of an aphrodisiac, but how can the mastermind be so sure that Tang Zhiyu would also get close if the target was changed into me?”
