So what if she's a fake heiress? She's being pampered by a powerful figure in Beijing'

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately exchanged bewildered glances.

The fourth master also opened his eyes and angrily rebuked:

"Call the police? We're all family, why would we call the police!"

Do you know what the consequences of calling the police will be?!

"Once this gets out, the Huo family's stock price will definitely drop!"

"This is a critical moment! So many eyes are watching the Huo family! And you're actually handing them leverage over us!"

Upon hearing this, the second daughter-in-law was filled with despair and, having nowhere else to turn, began to cry and make a scene.

"I don't care! My man is about to be executed, what do I care about!"

"If anything happens to him, all of you Huo family members who are trying to stop me will be the real culprits! I will never let you get away with this!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the Fifth Madam, who had always been at odds with the Fourth Madam, immediately began speaking sarcastically:

"You're still yelling? Now you know it's too late?"

"When your husband committed crimes, why didn't you think things would turn out like this now?"

"If your husband hadn't been unable to control his lust and caused trouble, would your mother-in-law have collapsed from exhaustion and fallen ill?"

"Now look what's happened! They're blaming us and expecting us to clean up their mess!"

These words were blunt, yet every sentence made sense.

If the previous conflicts were internal disputes within the fourth family, and everyone was just watching and observing, then...

The second daughter-in-law just said she was going to call the police, and that this would affect the stock price. That means she's taking away the cake from everyone in the Huo family.

Who doesn't know that the lower four branches of the family are now living off share dividends?

Anyone who dares to touch the company's shares is stepping on the sore spot of the entire Lower Four Households!

Seeing that the focus was about to go astray, Huo Ming immediately stepped in to act as a peacemaker:

"Of course we can't call the police, this is our family matter."

"It's just that my mother fell ill inexplicably, which is really strange and needs to be investigated carefully."

“Cousin, think it through again. We must give your second sister-in-law a fair answer.”

With Huo Ming backing her up, Miss Biao finally dared to raise her head, but she didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing her timid and hesitant demeanor, Huo Ming sighed silently and could only offer his analysis:

"Many people may not know that my mother has severe allergic asthma, and she is especially sensitive to pollen. If there is too much pollen, it can even cause suffocation, just like the accident that happened tonight."

"So there were never any flowers or plants in my mother's room."

"Moreover, in order to protect her privacy, even the doctor who treated her signed a confidentiality agreement. Apart from our own people, the only people who probably know about it are the people at Huo Family Hospital."

That's very persuasive.

Everyone present knew that the Huo family's hospital was controlled by the head of the family, which meant that Huo Shen knew that the fourth wife had this illness.

Huo Shen knew, so Xie Junfei naturally knew as well.

When everyone thought back to Miss Biao's description of being called to arrange flowers in the dead of winter, the matter immediately became intriguing.

Everyone turned to look at Xie Junfei, waiting to see how she would explain herself.

To everyone's surprise, Xie Junfei calmly picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, showing no panic at being caught.

At this moment, the second daughter-in-law was like a mad dog, biting anyone in sight. Upon hearing this, she stared intently at Xie Junfei:

"Xie Junfei, could it be that you did this?!"

Seeing Xie Junfei sipping her tea without giving a clear answer, the second daughter-in-law suddenly became emboldened and immediately grabbed her and wouldn't let go:

It's definitely you!

"Ever since you came to the Huo family, the house has been in constant chaos with endless arguments!"

"Now you're not satisfied with ruling your own room, so you're extending your reach into other rooms, are you?"

"You lowly woman from a humble family, you're just vicious! My mother-in-law never wronged you in the slightest, and you still dared to kill her like this!"

"Why are you so quiet now? Did I wrong you?!"

"Show me your evidence if you dare! If you can convince me, I'll never target you again!"

Since the matter involved the head of the Huo family, even the second branch of the family, who had originally been idly watching the spectacle, became serious.

Despite facing such accusations, Xie Junfei, seated at the head of the table, remained calm and composed.

She looked up at her deranged second daughter-in-law, a slight smile playing on her lips:

"Second sister-in-law, although I am young, I have my own values."

"The law states that the burden of proof lies with the party making the claim."

"If you say I poisoned him, then please provide evidence that I did, instead of making me prove my innocence."

After speaking, the beautiful young woman smiled slightly at her:

"I not only dislike proving myself, but I'm also a law-abiding citizen."

"so--"

No sooner had the words been spoken than a group of people in uniform pushed open the closed doors of the council chamber and strode into it.

The uniformed man in the lead flashed his police badge and stared at the fourth family member:

"The police are investigating a case. Please cooperate with our investigation and come with us!"
