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

"Madam Murong, didn't you say that you should rely on evidence when doing things? Now you're interrogating Ling Shan like this. Are you trying to force a confession out of her?" Wen Ruoxin suddenly interjected, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction, her gaze sweeping coldly over Murong Xuewei.

“Miss Wen, I was just asking a few questions. How did it become a forced confession in your eyes?” Murong Xuewei looked at Wen Ruoxin with a smile.

"Madam Murong, I just think that you are being too hasty in pressing Lingshan with these questions."

Liuli rushed back, still soaking wet. "Miss, I found it!"

Liuli placed the needle she found into Murong Xuewei's hand, and Murong Xuewei examined it carefully.

"Miss Wen, didn't you want evidence? Now we have the evidence."

Murong Xuewei raised the needle that Liuli had brought, and Si Lingshan trembled even more violently when she saw the needle.

"It's just a needle, what can it prove?" Xiao Sining looked at the needle with disdain.

Only Wen Ruoxin and Xiao Wanning frowned deeply. Both of them knew the importance of this needle, but it was clearly something that had been thrown away. How could Murong Xuewei have found it again?

"The Second Princess is right. It's just a needle, what does that prove?" Si Lingshan still wanted to stubbornly deny it to the death.

Murong Xuewei gave Su Xiaonuan a look, and Su Xiaonuan understood and walked over to Si Lingshan, grabbing Si Lingshan's hand and raising it.

"The doctor just said that if you use other objects to puncture the skin and allow the toxins to enter the body quickly, it will accelerate the poisoning process. And this needle is the object that accelerates the poisoning process, and this needle belongs to you, Si Lingshan."

As she spoke, Murong Xuewei placed the needle directly into Si Lingshan's hand, where a small mark on Si Lingshan's hand happened to match the needle.

“You still say this needle isn’t yours, but the mark matches perfectly,” Su Xiaonuan said, holding Si Lingshan’s hand.

"Su Xiaonuan, let me go! How can you say this is mine? Qingqing and I are best friends. How could I hurt her?" Si Lingshan struggled incessantly.

Those present agreed. Everyone knew that Si Lingshan and Zhao Qingqing's families were neighbors and the two had always been best friends. It was indeed unlikely that Si Lingshan had killed Zhao Qingqing.

"On the surface, you and Zhao Qingqing are indeed best friends. But if someone is jealous, they can do anything, even to their own brothers, let alone best friends."

"Jealousy? Why would I be jealous of Qingqing? I'm superior to her in both family background and looks, why would I be jealous of her?"

Murong Xuewei snorted coldly, "You yourself said that you are better than Zhao Qingqing in terms of family background and appearance. But Zhao Qingqing, who is worse than you, dresses better than you every day. Even the man you like likes Zhao Qingqing. So you were jealous and killed Zhao Qingqing."

Si Lingshan roared, "I didn't, I didn't!"

"Then tell me why this needle matches the mark on your hand?" Murong Xuewei pressed on, relentlessly questioning Si Lingshan.

Xiao Sining stepped forward and pushed Murong Xuewei away, "It's just that a mark matches. How can you prove that this is the one that killed Zhao Qingqing?"

Murong Xuewei was nearly knocked over by Xiao Sining's push, but fortunately Gu Ye, who was standing behind her, caught her in time.

"If the Second Princess is angry, she can take it out on me, Gu. She doesn't need to vent her anger on my wife. Since the Second Princess wants evidence, then I will find the evidence for her."

Gu Ye was clearly angered when he said this.

"Put down what the Second Princess said: how can we prove that this is the same one that killed Zhao Qingqing?"

"No, Gu Ye, that's not what I meant..." Xiao Si Ning tried to explain, but Gu Ye wouldn't listen at all.

Gu Ye walked directly to Zhao Qingqing's corpse and ripped off her sleeve, revealing half of her arm.

This caused many of the young men and women present to cover their eyes.

Thinking to himself, "How could Gu Ye be so rude? If you're looking for evidence, just look for evidence. Why are you grabbing someone's sleeve?"

"Please look, everyone. The poison here on Zhao Qingqing's arm is significantly deeper than in other places, and there is a small needle mark here."

The doctor leaned closer to take a look and exclaimed, "Yes, yes, this is where the poison was administered!"

Gu Ye picked up the needle again and compared it to the wound. The color of the needle was obviously different from that of a normal needle.

"Do you have any needles in your medicine kit?" Gu Ye asked the doctor.

The doctor nodded quickly, "Yes, yes."

The doctor took out a needle and handed it to Gu Ye, who then placed the two needles together.

"This is the poisoned one, this is the one the doctor just injected me with."

The poisoned needle was still glowing with a purple light, so Gu Ye had someone fetch a rabbit.

The poisoned needle was stuck into the rabbit, and it died shortly afterward, exhibiting the same poisoning symptoms as Zhao Qingqing.

Once everyone sees it, they'll understand: this needle is the one that caused Zhao Qingqing's death.

Even so, you can't say that the murderer is Si Lingshan!

Gu Ye sneered and took out the strip of cloth he had just found.

“This is not a strip of cloth. It was just found right in front of everyone. It was in Zhao Qinqin’s hand. And as we just said, whoever owns this strip of cloth is the murderer.”

When Su Xiaonuan compared the strip of cloth to Si Lingshan, both the fabric and the color matched perfectly.

"Oh! Now you admit it, right? This strip of cloth is exactly the same as the one you're wearing, both in color and style."

Seeing that all the evidence pointed to her, Si Lingshan subconsciously turned her gaze to Wen Ruoxin.

Just as Si Lingshan was about to beg for mercy, Xiao Wanning spoke first.

"Miss Si, you should be more careful with your words! Think about your family."

Si Lingshan's palms were already sweating; she realized she couldn't escape. "I..."

"What do you mean by that?" Murong Xuewei asked.

Xiao Wan Ning smiled slightly, "It doesn't mean anything. I'm just reminding Miss Si to tell the truth and not to be tortured into confessing."

"I hope you can think things through before you speak, Si Lingshan." Xiao Wanning's voice was low, as if exerting invisible pressure.

Si Lingshan was filled with fear; she knew she had no way out.

Finally, Si Lingshan lowered her head and said in a weak voice, "I confess. I admit that I killed Zhao Qingqing."

"Why did you kill her? Was it really just out of jealousy?" Murong Xuewei pressed.

"Yes, that's right, it's because of jealousy. Why is it that her family background is not as good as mine, but she can have the status that I dream of?" Si Lingshan's voice was full of anger.

"Just because of jealousy, she was killed?" Su Xiaonuan's voice revealed a hint of confusion.

"What do you know? Your father is the Prime Minister Wu. You've been living a life of luxury since you were a child. How could you possibly understand the difficulties of a small official's family like ours? The money you casually give to your servants is our entire month's interest." Si Lingshan became more and more angry as she spoke, but in the end, she could only express her helplessness.

"But that's no excuse for killing someone! Don't you think someone instructed you to do it?" Su Xiaonuan was still puzzled.

"I……."

“Miss Si, Zhao Qingqing is your best friend. How could you kill her! Think about what your family will do if they find out.” Wen Ruoxin interrupted Si Lingshan before she could finish speaking.

"No need to say anything more, I killed the person, I'm willing to confess!" Si Lingshan lowered her head in despair.

"Do you even know what crime murder is? Your father was a historian!" Murong Xuewei's words pierced Si Lingshan's heart like cold knives.

"Stop talking, stop talking, I admit it, please take the child and leave!" Si Lingshan choked back tears, looking utterly desperate.

Xiao Wan Ning sighed softly, a hint of sympathy in her eyes, "Si Ling Shan, since you have done such a thing, you must pay the price for your actions."

"I know, and I'm willing to bear the consequences." Si Lingshan's voice was filled with helplessness, and tears streamed down her face.

"Gu Ye, take her away and hand her over to the authorities," Murong Xuewei said helplessly.

As Si Lingshan was taken away, the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly heavy. Murong Xuewei knew in her heart that this turmoil was not over, but had only just begun.
