Chapter 9

"My Wanru!"

"What's going on!" Liu Xiang was furious. On such an occasion today, a daughter died in his house. If it spread, his status and reputation would be damaged, not to mention his relationship with the Li family!

"Going back to Dad, my daughter was in the next room at the time, and I don't know what happened here, but the second sister is looking after her here..."

"She was the one who killed my sister!" The girl in yellow interrupted Liu Han'er, pointing at Ning Ci'an and shouting angrily.

When the fat woman heard this, she squatted on the ground, turned her head viciously, and came towards Ning Ci'an, her fat palm was about to be knocked off, but she was caught by Mrs. Li.

"Second Miss has a noble status, so she will definitely not do such a thing, Wanyi, tell me the whole story in detail."

To Ning Ci'an's surprise, the Chinese character face Taifu was somewhat sensible, but after thinking about it, he understood what the word "noble" referred to.

The lucky girl who wants to prolong the life of the emperor is naturally noble.

But the girl in yellow was very emotional,
"Daddy! It's her! She pushed Wanru's elder sister! My elder sister fell down and stabbed in the vitals, and then, this died... Woohoo!"

The girl in yellow lay in the arms of the fat woman and trembled in pain.

"Cian, what's going on!"

Liu Xiang's face was very ugly, and Yan stroked Liu Xiang's chest, "Maybe An'er was careless..."

"Miss Wanru's death was wronged, but Ci'an will never let her die in vain. Mr. Xiang, Ci'an can make the dead 'talk', and the truth will be revealed after a while."

Ning Ci'an had been waiting for Liu Xiang to arrive, and then she straightened her face, calm and calm, but said something terrifying.

How can a dead man speak?Isn't this ridiculous!

After Yan's words were interrupted, she looked at her with displeasure and surprise,
"There is no reason for a dead person to speak in this world. Isn't that a fake corpse? An'er, don't be frightened and talk nonsense, Lingyu! How do you take care of the second lady!"

"Your servant is guilty, please forgive me, madam!"

As soon as Lingyu heard Yan's voice scolded herself severely, she immediately fell to her knees in fright.

The suddenly crowded room was still filled with the smell of blood. After Lingyu knelt down, no one spoke anymore, all because of the low breath on Liu Xiang's body, he did not dare to exhale loudly.

Taifu Li was waiting for a reasonable explanation, and pulled Mrs. Li so that she could not do something demeaning to Ning Ci'an.

"Master Prime Minister, can I get something for Ci'an?"

Ning Ci was silent for two seconds, extremely calm, she did not look like she was found after poisoning someone with cruel hands, she looked at Liu Xiang.

"Call me Daddy," Liu Xiang frowned, but corrected Ning Ci'an's words, causing Yan's eyes to move, and his dissatisfaction with Ning Ci'an increased in his heart, "What do you want?"

"A silver needle, an egg, a knife, a bird or a living thing like a mouse."

Ning Ci'an ignored Liu Xiang's first sentence and only answered the latter sentence. What she said made most people confused.

The young ladies lowered their heads and whispered softly, saying that this Ning Ci'an is really weird, she is not a noble lady after all, these messy things are what noble ladies like them would use.

"Get ready."

Liu Xiang gave an order, followed by the housekeeper behind Liu Xiang, and immediately went to do it.

"Ning Ci'an! You killed my precious daughter, and I will not let you go! I will sue the Dali Temple as soon as I get out of the prime minister's mansion, let them try the case, and give my daughter justice and life!"

Mrs. Li, who was suppressed by Taifu Li, couldn't bear this tone, and yelled at Ning Ci'an, extremely resentful. Although Taifu Li frowned, she didn't stop her.

"Mrs. Li, believe me, the real cause of Miss Wanru's death will be known after a while. How could Ci An and Miss Wanru meet for the first time, so how could they kill Miss Wanru?"

Facing Mrs. Li's angry accusations, Ning Ci'an turned her head with a calm expression. Those eyes that always make people feel innocent are clear but also precipitated wisdom.

It's a little convincing.

"Hmph! Let's see how you argue!"

Mrs. Li turned her head and stopped talking.

Ning Ci'an turned her attention to Li Wanyi, the second young lady of the Li family who was crying and sad.

And that Li Wanyi happened to raise her head, seeing Ning Ci'an's gaze, she subconsciously avoided it, and continued to hug Mrs. Li and sob softly.

Really, sisters love each other deeply...

"Sister, sister believes that you will never do such an outrageous thing." While Ning Ci'an also enjoyed the 'pleasure' of sisterly love, Liu Han'er held her hand, and when she looked at her, her eyes Firm, gentle, yet majestic, she is really the most charming beauty in Kyoto, a beautiful and peerless good sister.

"Thank you for believing in my sister, my sister will definitely live up to my sister's expectations."

Ning Ci'an also looks back on the past 'affectionately', equally firm.

It's just that she is really determined, but she doesn't know what Liu Haner's intentions are.

"Second Miss, this old slave has brought everything you asked for."

Just as he was thinking, the butler of the Xiangfu took a birdcage in one hand and a cloth bag in the other, which contained a few silver needles, eggs and a knife.

"Thank you."

Ning Ci'an took it, stepped forward a few steps, walked to the place where Li Wanru died, looked down at her, she was as beautiful as a flower, and her temperament was also gentle and charming, but she didn't know who she offended, it was—— —

"Miss Wanru was poisoned to death. Before she died, she couldn't stand still and accidentally fell on the candlestick, resulting in her death..."

"Nonsense! My Wanru was fine before she came here, where did she get poisoned! Even if it is poison, how can you rule out that it wasn't you?!"

Ning Ci'an had to say, Mrs. Li's question was really sharp and straightforward, just poke the main points!

"Silver needles are known to detect poison," Ning Ci'an said, the silver needle pierced Li Wanru's body, and when it was pulled out again, the silver needle did not turn black.

"Hmph, where did the poison come from?! The silver needle hasn't turned black!" Seeing that the silver needle hadn't turned black, Mrs. Li sneered again, while the rest of the people didn't speak.

Ning Ci'an calmly said, "However, not all poisons can be detected by silver needles."

Ancient technology was backward, and the poison the ancients referred to generally refers to arsenic, or all of them contain arsenic. Arsenic is accompanied by a small amount of sulfur and sulfide. The contact of sulfur and silver can cause a chemical reaction, forming a layer of black silver sulfide on the surface of the silver needle.

Many things are non-toxic, and silver needles will turn black when inserted, such as egg yolk.

However, there are no sulfur impurities in the highly refined poison, so silver needles cannot detect many poisons.

"It's not that the silver needle is poisonous if it turns black. It's an egg brought by the housekeeper." Ning Ci'an said, the silver needle was inserted into the egg, and when it was pulled out again, the place where the silver needle didn't go in turned black .

The butler looked anxious, "I didn't poison this old servant, it's an egg from the kitchen! This old slave has never had any hands or feet!"
