The whole family was brutally murdered? The ruthless heiress's eldest daughter went berserk aft

Liuli returned shortly after. Murong Xuewei and Liuli exchanged a glance. "Madam has finished everything."

Murong Xuewei's heart sank halfway, but then she remembered something and turned to Liuli, her voice urgent, "Liuli, quickly go and find the clothes I just changed out of!"

"Clothes? What do you need clothes for?" Liuli asked, puzzled.

"Don't ask so many questions, hurry up and find it. Once you find it, check immediately to see if anyone has put anything on your clothes." Murong Xuewei's voice was very anxious.

"Yes, Madam, I'll go right away!" Liuli immediately replied and hurriedly ran out of the room.

Murong Xuewei felt a surge of tension. During the time Liuli was away, she began to think about the cause of Zhao Qingqing's death.

Zhao Qingqing didn't seem to have argued with anyone else at the banquet except for the one with me, so I am the prime suspect right now.

Furthermore, since Zhao Qingqing died of poisoning, to clear her name, it is necessary to find out what kind of poison it was and what the effects of poisoning were.

Liuli returned shortly after, carrying the soaking wet clothes. Murong Xuewei took the clothes, "Have you checked them?"

“I arrived just in time. When I went to get the clothes, a maid who claimed to be a servant of the Wen family said that she was sent by Miss Wen to fetch the clothes to be washed,” Liuli said.

Liuli was still wondering why Wen Ruoxin had sent a maid to fetch Murong Xuewei's clothes, while Murong Xuewei was relieved that Liuli had gone quickly.

"Madam, are they trying to frame you? What should we do next?"

Murong Xuewei thought for a moment and said, "From the moment we entered the Wen residence, we have been plotted against. The best way to clear ourselves of suspicion right now is to find a doctor to find out what kind of poison Zhao Qingqing was poisoned to death."

Liuli nodded, "Okay, I'll go find a doctor right away."

"Go quickly and return quickly, and remember not to trust anyone from the Wen family."

Not long after, Liuli returned with a slender, kind-faced young doctor, and Su Xiaonuan came with her.

The doctor, leaning on his cane, walked up to Murong Xuewei and bowed, "Madam."

As soon as Su Xiaonuan arrived, she went to Murong Xuewei's side and affectionately took Murong Xuewei's hand.

Wen Ruoxin was somewhat surprised to see this, "You two know each other?"

"Of course I know her. Who wouldn't want to know such a wonderful Sister Murong?" Su Xiaonuan rested her head on Murong Xuewei's shoulder and said affectionately.

Murong Xuewei smiled at Su Xiaonuan and asked, "Why are you here?"

“Madam, I met Miss Su when I was walking to the gate of the Prince’s Mansion. Miss Su happened to be with a doctor, so I brought her here.”

Su Xiaonuan whispered in Murong Xuewei's ear, "It's because someone knew you were in trouble that they specifically asked me to come and support you."

Murong Xuewei felt a warmth in her heart, and a blush crept onto her cheeks. Murong Xuewei quickly regained her composure; clearing her name was the most important thing right now.

Murong Xuewei looked at the doctor, "Miss Zhao was just found dead. Can you tell what kind of poison she was poisoned with?"

The doctor frowned. "Poisoning?"

The doctor walked to Zhao Qingqing's side, squatted down to examine her carefully, and then took out a silver needle to test her.

After a while, the doctor packed up his medicine box, stood up, and bowed to Murong Xuewei.

"On the surface, the body had no obvious external injuries, but her lips were purple and her eyes were slightly bulging, which were signs of poisoning."

"What kind of poison did she get?" Murong Xuewei asked.

"This is very likely poisoning by 'Purple Haze Flower Poison,' a very insidious poison that causes purple lips and rapid breathing upon contact, and in severe cases, death," the doctor continued.

"Purple Cloud Flower Poison?" Liuli exclaimed in surprise, "How does one become poisoned by this?"

"The poison of the purple haze flower usually enters the body through food or water, or it may be due to direct skin contact," the doctor explained. "Once poisoned, the initial symptoms will be dizziness and nausea, followed by shortness of breath, which can lead to suffocation in severe cases."

Murong Xuewei's heart sank immediately. "If someone poisoned her at the banquet, it should only show up some time later."

“That’s right.” The divine physician nodded. “If it’s added to food, it only takes half an incense stick’s time for the poison to take effect.”

"What if it's poisoning from contact?"

The doctor thought for a moment, "If it's contact poisoning, it will take longer, about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

"Can you determine whether Miss Zhao suffered food poisoning or contact poisoning?"

"Yes, it's possible. If it's contact poisoning, the small patch of skin that came into contact with the toxin will react the most. If it's food poisoning, there will also be toxin residue in the mouth."

"Then hurry up and check! See if she got poisoned from the food or from contact poisoning," Su Xiaonuan said, somewhat annoyed.

Upon hearing Su Xiaonuan's instructions, the doctor hurriedly went to examine her again.

Taking advantage of the break, Murong Xuewei quietly asked Su Xiaonuan, "Why weren't you invited to Wen Ruoxin's birthday celebration today? Aren't your father and her father both prime ministers?"

Su Xiaonuan pouted, "You've only just arrived in the capital, so you don't understand. Her father is the Prime Minister of Literature, and my father is the Prime Minister of Military Affairs. It's common knowledge that our two fathers have always been at odds in court. Inviting me to her birthday party is just making things difficult for her."

"So you've come uninvited?"

Su Xiaonuan chuckled, "Didn't someone hear that you were being harassed at the Prince's Mansion, so they specially asked me to come and back you up? Don't worry, with me here, they won't dare to come. Otherwise, I'll whip them all and break their legs."

The doctor finished the examination while the two chatted.

"Reporting to Madam, this Miss Zhao must have accidentally touched something containing the poison of the Purple Cloud Flower, which led to her death from poisoning."

Murong Xuewei looked thoughtfully at Zhao Qingqing's corpse, realizing she had been poisoned!

"So that means she was poisoned at the banquet?"

"Yes, Madam, according to the timeline, that should be the case."

“Since she was poisoned at the banquet, it definitely has nothing to do with my wife. After all, my wife’s seat was so far away from hers, how could she have poisoned her?” Liuli said indignantly.

Si Lingshan persisted, "Maybe you bribed the maid to poison him! After all, you and Qingqing were the only ones who argued during the entire banquet."

"Bribing maids?" Su Xiaonuan sneered. "If young ladies and gentlemen visiting the Wen family for the first time can easily bribe the maids, then it has to be said that the maids of the Wen family are really easy to bribe! But if they can be bribed to poison guests today, then next time they can poison the master. Don't you think so, Miss Wen?"

With just a few words, Su Xiaonuan shifted all the blame onto Wen Ruoxin.

Wen Ruoxin subconsciously looked at Xiao Sining. Just as Xiao Sining stepped forward and was about to say something, Xiao Wanning arrived.
