Chapter 119 Deliberately Designed Test
The old lady continued:
"My dear,
I specially invited you to this flower viewing party.
Actually, I need your help with something.
Lu Qingqing asked in confusion:
"Please speak, Madam. I would like to hear the details."
The old lady didn't beat around the bush and said directly:
"Good child, I've heard Xiu Ming mention this before."
There was a crucial detail in a tricky case that even the coroner hadn't discovered.
You were the one who discovered it, and later you even helped solve the case.
I was thinking, if I asked you for help with this,
We will surely find the person who poisoned us.
Secondly, I'm afraid that something might suddenly happen to me.
Your child has such excellent medical skills.
I feel more at ease with you by my side, don't I?
If something really happens
That way you can help provide timely assistance.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the room became increasingly heavy.
Lu Qingqing gazed at the old lady's haggard yet still dignified face.
A wave of sorrow washed over her, and she pondered for a moment.
Said:
"Madam, please don't worry."
I believe you are blessed with good fortune.
Everything will be alright.
Please don't worry about what you just said.
You value Qingqing so much,
Then I will do everything in my power to help you find the person who poisoned you.
We will protect you and ensure your safety.
The old lady nodded with satisfaction.
His eyes were full of trust and gratitude:
"Qingqing, with your words..."
I feel much more at ease now.
However, the people in this mansion are a complex bunch.
The mastermind behind this is shrouded in mystery.
We must be extremely careful.
Avoid alerting the enemy.
Lu Qingqing gently held the old lady's hand.
Offer her a touch of warmth and comfort:
"Please rest assured, Madam."
We need to take a long-term view and discuss a suitable solution.
Only then can this matter be resolved smoothly.
Lu Qingqing asked:
"Madam,"
You just mentioned suspecting the maids Xiao Cui'er and Qu Wan'er.
How is this going,
Why don't you tell us what you think? We can discuss a solution.
The old lady's face was gloomy.
His eyes were filled with anger and helplessness as he slowly spoke:
"My dear Qingqing, you don't know this."
This little Cui'er has been by my side for many years.
He has always been fairly law-abiding.
But recently I've noticed she's been acting suspiciously.
Several times, I woke up in the night,
I saw her peeking out of my room from outside.
Another time,
I clearly remember putting a precious piece of jewelry in a box.
But later, it could never be found again.
During that period
Only she can come and go from my room freely.
Lu Qingqing frowned.
He nodded thoughtfully.
The old lady continued:
"And then there's Qu Wan'er."
Although she is my niece
But we're not very close.
In the past, when she came to visit me, it was always just a formality.
It was just a few polite words.
But ever since I was poisoned...
She came more and more frequently.
They always bring some inexplicable things with them.
It was supposed to be good for my health, but after I ate it...
My body felt even more uncomfortable.
and,
The people around me,
I overheard her whispering with her personal maid in a corner.
When my illness was mentioned,
There wasn't a trace of concern in his tone.
Instead, it carried a hint of eagerness and excitement.
Lu Qingqing clenched her fist and said:
"Madam, now that I hear what you're saying..."
These two are indeed highly suspicious.
However, we still need to verify carefully.
To avoid wrongly accusing an innocent person.
The old lady nodded and said:
"What Qingqing says is true. Although I have my doubts..."
However, no conclusive evidence was found.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Qingqing said:
"Madam, in my opinion, since you suspect them..."
"Then why don't we give it a try?"
"Qingqing, have you come up with an idea? Why don't you tell me?"
The old lady looked at Lu Qingqing with anxious eyes.
It was as if Lu Qingqing was her pillar of support.
"We can do it before the flower viewing banquet begins,"
Intentionally leaked to everyone
You have recently been taking an extremely precious health-preserving elixir.
This elixir has remarkable effects; it can not only strengthen the body but also improve health.
It can also remove residual toxins from the body.
Then we sent people to secretly observe Xiao Cui'er and Qu Wan'er.
Look at their expressions and actions after hearing this news.
The old lady nodded slightly and said:
"Hmm, I think this method is feasible."
"And then what?"
Lu Qingqing continued:
"While the banquet was in progress"
You can pretend that you don't have a good appetite.
They can only eat a few specific snacks and teas.
Only by deliberately revealing your weaknesses
This would give the poisoner an opportunity.
Then we secretly arranged for someone to keep an eye on these specific snacks and tea.
See who pays special attention to the things you eat.
"Also, we've arranged a small segment..."
It will allow you to publicly display a precious piece of jewelry.
They say this is a treasure that can ward off evil spirits and dispel toxins.
It must be worn close to the body at all times.
In that case, let's see who will deliberately pay attention to this item.
Or it was intentionally damaged.
A shrewd glint flashed in Lu Qingqing's eyes.
The old lady agreed:
"Okay, Qingqing."
Then let's do it your way.
However, if they still don't reveal any flaws,
So how should we respond?
Lu Qingqing pursed her lips and said:
"Madam, please don't worry."
If none of the above works...
Let's continue with another scene.
We will be there during the middle of the flower viewing party.
Arrange a small accident,
For example, if you accidentally fall down,
It looks very serious.
Now let's see how everyone reacts.
It's because I'm worried that something might really happen to you.
It's still a way of testing you.
We will adapt to the situation and act accordingly.
I refuse to believe that the person who poisoned me didn't leave a single clue.
The old lady held Lu Qingqing's hand tightly:
"Qingqing, this time we're counting on you."
We must make sure that the person who poisoned us has nowhere to hide.
After the two discussed it,
Lu Qingqing and the old lady then followed the plan.
At the flower-viewing banquet, guests were numerous, and the flowers were in full bloom.
The ladies and young women gathered in small groups, exchanging pleasantries.
The old lady followed the plan.
Join in quietly
While she was exchanging pleasantries with everyone,
He deliberately let Xiao Tao'er casually mention the health-preserving pills she had been taking recently.
When Xiao Cui heard this,
The hand that was pouring tea for the guest trembled slightly.
Some tea spilled out.
She glanced at the old lady with a flustered look in her eyes.
He then lowered his head.
Pretend nothing's wrong and continue with your work.
But the action of pouring tea became noticeably hurried and clumsy.
Qu Wan'er was taken aback at first.
Then, the corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.
A hint of jealousy and eagerness flashed in his eyes.
She unconsciously took a small step forward.
He seemed to want to get closer to the old lady to find out what was going on.
But I held back.
He stood there, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
She clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand.
The old lady and Lu Qingqing silently witnessed everything.
My suspicions about them deepened even further.
During the banquet,
The old lady deliberately chose only a few specific snacks and teas to enjoy.
Little Peach was there to help out.
Deliberately speaking loudly that this pastry was specially made,
It was a medicinal diet recipe specially prepared by a famous doctor to regulate the body of the old lady.
The hidden guards in the corner quietly observed the reactions of those around them.
Xiao Cui'er seemed to be busy on the side.
His eyes, however, kept glancing at the pastries in front of the old lady.
His eyes revealed a hint of tension and inquiry.
Whenever the old lady picked up a pastry,
Her body would involuntarily tense up.
Qu Wan'er sat not far away.
He appeared to be chatting and laughing with other guests.
But his eyes kept glancing towards the old lady.
On one occasion, she even took advantage of a moment when no one was looking,
He quietly got up, wanting to move closer to the old lady's seat.
But she was gently pulled by the maid beside her.
Then he sat back down.
The guards saw all of this.
My suspicions about the two men have become even stronger.
Subsequently,
The old lady then displayed the so-called talisman for warding off evil and dispelling poison in front of everyone.
Qu Wan'er's gaze was instantly drawn to it.
A hint of urgency flashed across his face.
Xiao Cui'er lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.
at this time,
Lu Qingqing observed all of this discreetly.
Every now and then, I'd add a little oil to it.
