As soon as Ye Xiu's words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely dull, making people almost breathless.
After a long time, a voice finally came from the crowd.
"Master, Young Master, even if we eat the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, we would not dare to poison the Young Master's wife!"
"Besides, the young master and his wife have no grievances against us. How could we harm her? If we harm the young master and his wife, aren't we seeking death? I will never do such a thing!"
The servant patted his chest and promised that it was definitely not him who did it, with a serious look on his face.
"If you don't dare, of course someone will dare." Ye Xiu's cold voice sounded, as if it was a ghost that captured people's hearts.
At this moment, the servant did not dare to say any more for fear of getting angry.
Murong Zhen slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Old Li, first check the servants who are on duty in the kitchen. The poison is in the porridge that the young lady ate. It must be related to the people in the kitchen."
As soon as he finished speaking, those who were on duty in the kitchen felt a chill in their backs.
The problem is in the kitchen?!
It’s over!
Woe!
Lao Li slowly stepped forward, nodded and said, "Everyone on duty in the kitchen should stand up and check them one by one."
Suddenly, all the servants on duty in the kitchen looked like ants on a hot pot, with anxious faces on their faces.
"Who worked the shift in the kitchen yesterday? Who was the last to leave the kitchen? Did you notice anything strange before leaving?" Lao Li asked seriously.
"Butler, I was on duty yesterday and was the last one to leave the kitchen."
"When I left, I noticed that everyone had gone to bed and no one appeared in the kitchen."
"Everything is normal." The servant suppressed the nervousness in his heart and answered Lao Li's words carefully.
"Did you prepare the spare food for the young mistress?"
"Yes, butler."
"Did it pass through other people's hands?"
The servant shook his head and said: "The spare food for the young master and his wife was prepared by me and was not handed over to him."
"I prepared everything last night and went back to rest."
"So, housekeeper, I really don't know why the food of the young mistress is poisonous. It's really not my fault."
Lao Li looked at the servant in front of him carefully with a pair of eyes filled with scrutiny.
"So you were the first one to the kitchen this morning?"
The servant nodded and said, "Yes."
"By the way, housekeeper, when I went to the kitchen today, I found Miss Xin'er in the kitchen!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's memories were immediately brought back, and the scene this morning could not help but appear in their minds.
"Yes! Maybe Miss Xin'er went to the kitchen later. I don't know what happened..."
Although the servant didn't finish what he said, anyone with a discerning eye could understand what he meant.
Lao Li narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Please step back first."
Then, he slowly walked to Ye Xiu and Murong Zhen.
"Master, young master, the person on duty in the kitchen said that Miss Xin'er was the first one to appear in the kitchen this morning." His voice was very soft, and he spoke with some trepidation.
When Liu Xue heard what Lao Li said, her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
As expected, Ah Cheng is reliable in his work.
one stone two bird!
Wonderful!
"Hey, it seems that Murong Xin'er is quite suspicious!"
"She suddenly appeared in the kitchen in the early morning, and then she was poisoned and fell into a coma. It's hard not to make people suspicious!" She added secretly and deliberately raised her voice, as if she was afraid that others wouldn't hear.
"What? Sister Siying was poisoned. Do you suspect that she is in love with me?" A cold female voice came from a distance.
Everyone slowly looked around and saw Murong Xin'er arriving in style, dressed extremely elegantly, which was very different from her embarrassed appearance in the morning.
Liu Xue looked at Murong Xin'er with provocative eyes and a sneer on her lips.
"Among the entire Murong family, you are the most suspect. If you don't suspect me, who do you suspect?"
At this moment, Liu Xue just felt that her mood was extremely happy, and she completely forgot about the unpleasant things just now.
There was no trace of guilt in Murong Xin'er's eyes. She said calmly: "In this family, the only warmth I can feel is given to me by Sister Siying. What reason do I have to poison her?"
Liu Xue picked at her fingernails and said leisurely: "Then who knows? Shouldn't this be what you know best?"
"After all, people know their faces but not their hearts. You can't just look at the surface."
Murong Xin'er was not affected by the woman's words, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Siying was poisoned and fell into coma. Everyone should know that I don't understand poison, and I don't have the chance to encounter these things at home."
"And as far as I know, Madam should be someone who knows about poison, right?" When she said this, she deliberately lengthened her tone.
The people present could naturally hear it clearly.
As soon as these words came out, Ye Xiu's attention was attracted, and he looked at Liu Xue with a scrutinizing look.
"Does she know about poison?" he asked Murong Zhen at the side.
Murong Zhen nodded and said, "Well, the previous generation of her mother's family mainly made drugs, and it was only in Liu Xue's generation that they stopped making drugs."
"Liu Xue, is it really the poison you used?"
When Liu Xue heard the man's question, she couldn't help but feel startled.
A little cold sweat broke out on her back, and she tried to calm herself down.
"My family did make drugs before, and I also know something about it."
"But this matter is well known to everyone. If I still use this method to harm others, wouldn't it be like shooting myself in the foot? Everyone will be suspicious of me."
"Murong Zhen, you don't trust me that much?" She deliberately changed her tone and put the pressure directly on Murong Zhen.
Murong Xin'er's eyes seemed to see through everything, and there was a hint of innuendo at the corner of her mouth: "Madam, you really like to play the emotional card!"
"But it's not always appropriate to play the love card. Have you forgotten whose wife Sister Siying is?"
Her words were like a mallet, directly waking up Liu Xue.
She couldn't help but look at Ye Xiu beside her, and saw that the man's black eyes were unfathomable and could not be seen to the bottom.
She shivered suddenly, and the image of Ye Xiu squeezing her neck instantly came to her mind.
From that moment on, she understood that Ye Xiu was much more terrifying than Murong Zhen.
Sometimes she could play the emotional card with Murong Zhen, but she didn't dare to deal with Ye Xiu.
"Ye Xiu, I have no reason to poison your wife."
"There are thousands of ways to harm people, and poisoning is the stupidest one. As long as you investigate further, you will find me. There is no need for me to do such a stupid thing."
She acted very magnanimously and even said the word stupid just to prevent Ye Xiu from doubting her.
She never expected that Murong Xin'er would be so sharp-tongued now. She thought it was a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, but she didn't expect that she would make everyone start to doubt herself.
A faint uneasiness arose in her heart, she always felt that Murong Xin'er would become a threat to her.
She used to think that Murong Xin'er was the one she didn't need to worry about the least, but she didn't expect that now she was being tricked one after another.
Ye Xiu had no intention of listening to Liu Xue's words. In his eyes, no one from the Murong family could be trusted.
"It's not impossible for stupid people to do stupid things. If you want to avoid suspicion, you can naturally make up any excuse."
