Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 128 Poisoning
Xiao Wang dodged sideways and avoided Huang Yefei's fist.

Huang Yefei was furious after his attack failed. He drew the sword from his waist and was ready to take ruthless action!
But before he could raise his knife, a tiny crossbow arrow shot into his right arm.

His movements froze in place.

A stinging pain came from the wound, and blood slowly overflowed from the wound, staining the sleeves red.

Huang Yefei's eyes were bloodshot as he looked fiercely in the direction where the crossbow arrow came from. He just happened to see Yan Ciwan slowly lowering his right hand, and his wide sleeves fell down, covering the crossbow tied to his forearm.

"You stinky bitch, how dare you..."

Before he could finish his curse, he felt his tongue losing feeling.

Then he found that his whole body could not move, the knife fell from his hand, and he fell to the ground limply like a puddle of mud.

Everyone present looked at Yan Ciwan, and Yan Ciwan asked calmly.

"He's about to kill someone with a knife, should I just sit there and do nothing?"

Chu Wangshan immediately said: "I don't mean to blame you. Fortunately, you took action to resolve the crisis."

He was very surprised. He didn't expect that the seemingly fragile young lady actually had such a powerful weapon on her body. Look at her movements when she was shooting the arrow just now, which was neat and accurate. It was obvious that she was a very good archer. It really is true that you can't judge a person by his appearance!
Ling Niang looked at Huang Yefei, who was lying motionless on the ground, and was a little worried: "Is he dead?"

Yan Ciwan said: "Don't worry, he won't die, he's just paralyzed and can't move. He will be back to normal tomorrow."

Chu Wangshan and Ling Niang both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that no one was killed.

Chu Wangshan instructed Uncle Shi, "Take Ah Fei away and lock him up in a secluded room. Don't let him get a chance to hurt anyone else. Also, bandage his wounds to prevent him from dying from excessive blood loss. When the snow stops and the mountain roads are unblocked, send him away immediately."

"Yes."

Uncle Shi grabbed Huang Yefei's belt with both hands, carried him on his shoulders like a sack, and then walked out of Wanxiangyuan step by step with his slightly lame right leg.

Yan Ciwan looked at his departing back and thought that although Uncle Shi had a disability, he was very strong. Huang Yefei was tall and strong, weighing at least 190 pounds, but Uncle Shi was able to carry him steadily forward. It was really amazing.

"Thank you very much for just now."

Hearing the voice, Yan Ciwan turned his head and looked at Xiao Wang who was speaking.

She smiled and said, "You're welcome. It's just a small favor."

Chu Wangshan apologized to both of them.

"I'm sorry. I wanted to invite you two to come and have fun at the Nuanhan Club today, but I didn't expect so many things to happen. Xiao Liulang was almost injured. I hope you two can stay in the villa for a few more days so that we can make it up to you."

Ling Niang also said: "I beg you two to give us a chance to make amends."

Xiao Wang said in a gentle voice: "It's not your fault. The most important thing right now is to make Madam Fu Xue get better as soon as possible, and find out why she is so depressed."

Not long after, Ah Ping hurried to Wanxiangyuan with Chaolu.

Chaolu carefully examined Fuxue and finally said, "The reason why Madam Fuxue is unconscious is because she has been poisoned."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

Chu Wangshan was furious: "Didn't Ah Xue hang herself? How could she be poisoned? Could it be that someone poisoned her and then disguised it as hanging herself?!"

Lingniang also asked: "What kind of poison did Ah Xue take? Can she still be saved?" Chaolu looked solemn: "I don't know what the specific poison is. We need to check her diet today to see what she has eaten. Judging from her current pulse, this poison should not take her life in a short time."

Chu Wangshan immediately called in the maid who served Fu Xue.

The maid's name was Liuhua. She was extremely shocked to learn that Fuxue was poisoned. She told her master everything Fuxue had eaten that day without even asking her.

"When the girl got up in the morning, she ate plum blossom pastry and hot milk because she felt uncomfortable in her throat today. Later, she ate a small bowl of Sichuan Fritillary Stewed Pear. At noon, I sent the girl to Guanhai Pavilion. The girl said that the warm and cold party would not end until the evening. She told me not to wait outside Guanhai Pavilion all the time, so I went to the kitchen and had lunch with other servants. I don't know what the girl ate after that."

Chu Wangshan asked Aping to bring all of Fuxue's food for today, and Aping left after receiving the order.

Chaolu took out the silver needle and started giving Fuxue acupuncture to prevent the poison from invading her heart and endangering her life.

About half an hour later, Aping came back carrying a heavy food box.

He opened the food box, took out the food one by one, and placed them neatly on the table.

Chaolu and Xiaowang leaned over and checked the foods one by one.

Yan Ciwan didn’t know any medicine, so she could only go and see Fu Xue lying motionless on the bed.

Fu Xue's eyes were closed at this moment, her face was pale, and the bruise on her neck seemed to have become even darker.

She leaned over, reached out and pinched Fu Xue's jaw, gently turned Fu Xue's head, then lowered her head to carefully observe the shocking bruise.

Chu Wangshan and Lingniang noticed her movements, and Lingniang asked, "Aci, what are you doing?"

Yan Ciwan stood up and said, "I want to see if the bruises on Axue are consistent with the hemp rope used for hanging?"

Chu Wangshan immediately asked: "What is the result?"

Yan Ciwan did not answer immediately. She stood up the upside-down stool on the ground, stepped on it, looked carefully at the hemp rope ring hanging on the beam, and then spoke.

“It is consistent.”

Chu Wangshan frowned even more tightly. If Fu Xue was really murdered, then hanging herself would be a cover-up to cover up the truth of the murder. However, whether it was the doors and windows with wooden bolts inserted from the inside, or the bruises consistent with the hemp rope, it all showed that she committed suicide.

There are contradictions everywhere at the moment, and everything seems unreasonable, but it just happens, and people can't guess the truth.

Lingniang suddenly screamed: "Aci!"

The others all looked up at Yan Ciwan who was standing on the stool. They saw her putting her head into the loop of the hemp rope, as if she was going to hang herself. The scene made everyone present feel heartbroken.

Xiao Wang involuntarily took two steps towards her and said in a deep voice, "Aci, don't do anything rash. This is too dangerous."

Zhaolu quickly advised: "You are too scary, come down quickly."

Yan Ciwan just wanted to try the height to see if he could fit his head into the ring while standing on a stool. It turned out that he could, and this height was just right for hanging himself.

She jumped off the stool, and Xiao Wang subconsciously wanted to reach out to help her, but due to etiquette, he held back and did not move.

Yan Ciwan landed steadily, then asked Xiao Wang and Chao Lu.

"Have you found anything?"
