In the flower hall of the inner room separated by a wall, the old lady was sitting with Wu Yinzhong holding ginseng tea. Biyun's eyes were a little anxious and a little uncertain.

The old lady suddenly sighed, put down the tea bowl, and said, "I really didn't misunderstand her, she is alert." ”

Wu Yinzhong withdrew his gaze from the screen, brushed his beard and said, "Since the old lady has the heart to protect the ninth girl, why don't you come forward to relieve her?" ”

The old lady glanced at him and snorted softly: "If she can't even save herself, what's the use of me relieving her?" She will have to live by herself in the future, and I won't be able to protect her for long. ”

Wu Yinzhong heard this, and couldn't help but fall silent.

But there are few women in the deep house, there are few simple-minded women, and the higher the status, the more so. The old lady in front of her has been crawling in the compound of Hefu for decades, how can she not even see through people's hearts? She must know the key to this, but now even if she wakes up and wants to protect Liuli, it is too late. Sending her to the government was a unanimous decision by everyone, even the eldest man couldn't object, the old lady was now terminally ill, who would listen to her? Even if he insisted on coming out to protect her, it would definitely cause the dissatisfaction of several ladies, believing that she was biased against her, which would not only not save the ninth girl, but would be unfavorable to her. Now it's like this, but she solves this dilemma on her own, which is the most convincing.

Thinking about it like this, he couldn't help but admire the old woman in front of him.

I was sitting quietly here, and suddenly there was a commotion in the front hall, it turned out that the handover book had been brought, and Aunt Su and they had also returned from searching the long room.

The old lady sat up, picked up her crutches and let Qingshang support her, and walked towards the passage.

In the front hall, Aunt Su held a bag of bird's nest in the center of the house, and said to the old lady: "This is the bird's nest found from the bedroom of the Yu family in the long house. ”

As she spoke, Rose had a small stove with a blazing fire and a pot of boiling water. Rose took out the silver hairpin on her head and poked it down, made sure that the water was non-toxic, and then took one of the pieces out of the packet of bird's nests and threw it in, in less than a moment, the bird's nest became soft, and then inserted the silver hairpin, and the hairpin turned black when she saw it!

"You put it! This must have been put by you! ”

Yu stared at Liuli tightly, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, as if he wanted to swallow her in one gulp!

"You!"

She scolded angrily, and was about to pounce and hit her again, but this time it was not so smooth, the two of them came out of nowhere, Yu saw the two of them, and struggled with hatred, but Yuegui could not allow her to resist, her face was silent, and her subordinates secretly used their strength, until she was pinned into a point and could not move.

"Not only poisonous bird's nest but also arsenic found in your house, doesn't it prove that you are a murderer?! If you want to judge, then everyone will judge together! ”

She roared at the top of her voice, completely devoid of the respect of the old lady.

"Who said the bird's nest found in my house was poisonous? Hongmei brought in a jar of water again. ”

Liuli suddenly stepped on the end of Yu's words and said. Not only was everyone surprised, but even Aunt Su was surprised.

Hongmei quickly brought in a jar of boiling water, Liuli raised her lips slightly and nodded, and then smiled at the stunned Yu and said, "The eldest lady may feel wronged, let's try it now." ”

Saying that, she walked up to Nie's side: "The fourth lady also asks to borrow a hairpin to use." Nie Shi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly plucked a silver hairpin for her. Liuli took it in his hand and thanked him, tried the boiling water to be non-toxic, and then walked to the arsenic and bird's nest that Yu had searched out from Yishou Garden, and said "forgiveness" to the old lady, and then picked up the arsenic with one hand and a piece of bird's nest with the other hand and said: "Try the trouble in the same way, why don't we boil this arsenic and bird's nest in a pot to see if it is poisonous." ”

With that, she threw both in.

Arsenic is a highly poisonous thing, and this bird's nest is not poisonous in the first place, isn't it also poisoned by her? Everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar, but then everyone gradually became suspicious, seeing that the bird's nest was boiled in boiling water, but the silver hairpin did not change color for half a minute! A quarter of an hour and two quarters of an hour have passed, and the silver hairpin in Liuli's hand is still as bright as before!

"In this way, maybe the eldest lady will not give up, or let me try it myself!"

As she spoke, Ruri took a clean tea bowl from the table, carefully scooped out half a bowl of soup from the crockpot, and blew it close to her lips.

"Girl!"

The old lady and the others couldn't help but stand up silently, and the maids next to them also opened their eyes wide and covered their mouths and screamed! He Xiuyuan and He Lili rushed over and snatched the tea bowl in her hand with an arrow step, and blurted out: "You vomit it out!" It's the fourth uncle who blames you! Guo Yao and Aunt Su also rushed over, but it was too late, and in a blink of an eye, Liuli had already drunk all the small half bowl of soup.

This is a half-year-old child who is only eleven years old, even if she has a bad background, where is she forced to die? With so much evidence and inference, who would believe that the poison in the bird's nest was caused by her at this time? People's hearts are long, and when most of the resentment in their hearts is transferred to the Yu family, who will watch this child being forced to die and be indifferent?!

"Girl!"

The old lady sat on the stool, and her eyes were filled with tears again.

Guo Yao hugged Liuli and choked up: "You stupid boy! If you die, how can I explain it to him—"

Liuli had never seen her so flawless in her demeanor, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Who does Mr. want to explain to?" ”

Guo Yao raised his head and saw that she was safe and sound when she asked this, and she didn't look like she was poisoned at all, so she couldn't help but be stunned.

Liuli smiled, stood up with her arm and said, "Don't worry, sir, I'm fine." Didn't the eldest lady say that arsenic and poisonous bird's nest were found in my house? I poured most of the bottle of arsenic and put it down, presumably the three tigers could be poisoned, but I drank half a bowl of soup but still jumped alive, I don't know how the eldest lady wants to explain? ”

The old lady stopped her tears and looked at her, and He Xiuyuan and Aunt Su also looked at each other. Yu Shi was already so stunned that he couldn't speak, and when he heard her words, he couldn't help but say to himself: "Impossible, impossible, obviously it's-no!" You wicked! That's arsenic! It's obviously poisonous bird's nest! Why didn't I poison you! ”

"Shut up!"

He Lili grabbed her by the placket and slapped her again, slapping her back a few steps. "You poisonous woman, you ignore me when you do those tricks on weekdays, but now you have such a big courage to poison my mother! I don't think the person who will be escorted to the government is none other than you! ”

Yu was so shocked by his roar that she retreated to the door, and Laurel Begonia unceremoniously pushed her in from behind.

Liuli tugged at the corners of her mouth and said leisurely: "The eldest lady may not be convinced, so let's take a look at this book again." Saying that, she took the two handover books in her hand and put them on the several cases in front of the old lady, "A total of three hundred and twelve batches of bird's nests sent by Yanzhuang are recorded here, and the handover books in the main courtyard are exactly three hundred and twelve batches." The old lady and the old lady are invited to come and see, and the date of receiving the bird's nest in each of the main courtyards is at least three days later than the date when the eldest lady receives the bird's nest from the Yanzhuang. ”

She pushed the book to the He Lili brothers, the Liang family, the Qi family and others, and then said: "It is true that there are many people in the house, and it is true that finding something from the house cannot be completely used as ironclad evidence of the murder, but how can you explain these three hundred and twelve batches of bird's nests?" Even if there is an occasional delay, you can't send it in time, you can't delay it three hundred and twelve times, and now that you have the time and physical evidence to commit the crime, how can you deny it, lady? ”

"You made it all up!"

Yu's eyes were blood-red, and he pointed at her and yelled, "This is a fabrication, a fabrication!" ”

Ruri raised her head and sneered. The old lady threw the book in his hand into Yu's face: "It's all your handwriting, where did it come from!" ”

Yu stayed on the ground, his eyes as blank as if he was dying.

"You don't cry when you don't see the coffin. I'd like to ask someone to come out and say a few words. ”

At this time, the old lady's slow voice suddenly came from under the curtain leading to the inner room, and everyone looked over and saw the old lady walking out of the green dress with a cane, and behind her was Wu Yinzhong, who came in at some point. Liang's Qi hurriedly stepped forward and sat down on the chair with her, and the old lady pointed to Wu Yinzhong:

"Doctor Wu, tell the old lady and the old man what you just told me."

Wu Yinzhong answered, glanced at Yu, turned around and said in the direction of the old lady and the others: "About two years ago, when the old lady encountered a little crisis in the previous year, and the old lady fell ill due to anxiety, one day the eldest lady asked me to borrow a book about poison, and I didn't doubt it, so I lent it to the eldest lady. Now that I think about it, that book just recorded the allusion of how to harm people with arsenic-soaked red date bird's nest, and I also remembered that on the day the eldest lady returned the book to me, I also lost a bottle of arsenic. ”

The old lady got up in surprise: "Then do you remember the size of the bottle of arsenic and the appearance of the bottle?" ”

Wu Yinzhong nodded: "Remember, it was a small porcelain bottle more than two inches high, the whole body was lake blue, with net-like cracks, and the mouth of the bottle was corked and wrapped in red cloth." The red cloth was torn, and the bottom of the wooden cork was still engraved with the cheap name below. ”

Everyone was shocked, and they all looked at the arsenic bottle in Liuli's hand. Liuli had already heard the gods at this time, and when she saw the uproar of everyone, she hurriedly looked at her hand, but this was just an ordinary small porcelain bottle, white without miscellaneous lines, and the cork was just a small cloth bag.
