Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Mrs. Xu did not notice Li Shuangxi's abnormality, but clicked her tongue twice: "Oh, how could Madam Jiang be stung like this? So miserable, so pitiful. Who is this? How much hatred and resentment does he have? How could he be so cruel?"

Li Yuanming frowned: "Mother, please stop talking."

His eyes swept across Li Shuangxi's face.

Xu quickly covered her mouth.

Lu Ziqi helped Jiang up from the ground.

"Master, I want to report to the police, I want to report to the police!" Jiang grabbed Lu Ziqi's hand tightly, and the back of his hand was swollen, with blue veins protruding.

She was in great pain at the moment and wanted to roll on the ground, but all the important people in Shengjing City had come, so she couldn't do that and could only hold on.

His sinister eyes were fixed on Lady Liu, the wife of the Marquis of Yongning, who had a smug look on her face and was watching the show with the corners of her mouth raised.

It must be this bitch who harmed her!

Someone muttered, "There seems to be something wrong with that dress. When we came over here just now, we saw all the wasps rushing towards it."

The pomegranate red jacket thrown aside had a few sparks from the smoke that fell on the clothes and burned several holes.

"Someone, go and invite the prefect of Jingzhao!" Lu Ziqi shouted angrily.

At this moment, Jiang finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted completely.

Lu Ziqi pushed the person into the hands of the nanny and the maid.

The two of them hurriedly helped the man to the side room.

The doctor arrived at this moment.

The fifth prince Ling Yan pushed through the crowd and walked towards the dress. He picked it up, looked at it, sniffed it, and turned to the crowd: "Madam Jiang's dress has been drugged. It's a drug that can attract wasps and make them crazy."

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you.

Lu Ziqi knelt down in front of Ling Yan and said, "Your Highness, please make the decision for my wife!"

Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Bai Hongxian was also among those invited today and walked up to Ling Yan: “Fifth Prince.”

Ling Yan raised his chin towards him and said, "I'll have to trouble you, Lord Bai, with this matter."

As he said this, he stuffed Jiang's clothes into Bai Hongxian's hands, took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped it, and then threw the handkerchief to the guard beside him.

"Yes." Bai Hongxian hurriedly took the clothes. Without getting close to smell it, a faint sweet fragrance permeated his nose.

"Fifth Prince, this dress seems to have a unique fragrance."

Ling Yan nodded: "Yes, if my guess is correct, it should be this fragrance that attracted the poisonous wasps."

The ladies who had been surrounding Jiang and saying they would wait until the banquet was over to go to Yanxue Pavilion to buy gouache all changed their expressions.

Ling Yan glanced at everyone and said, "Today is Madam Zhong's sixtieth birthday. I will not allow any dirty things to disturb Madam Zhong's birthday party. Everyone must unconditionally cooperate with Lord Bai in investigating the case, no matter who it is."

The crown prince did not come, but the fifth prince Ling Yan spoke. Although everyone was unwilling to be interrogated as criminals, they had no choice but to agree.

Soon, dozens of officials came to the Jingzhao Prefecture government office, and all the ladies were kept in the back garden, and no one was allowed to leave.

All those present were prominent figures. Although Bai Hongxian had heard what the Fifth Prince said, he could not interrogate the girls and ladies as if they were criminals.

We could only politely invite everyone to the side hall one by one for questioning.

After questioning, Mrs. Liu and several other ladies said that before the accident, they all smelled a strange sweet smell on Mrs. Jiang's body. Because it smelled so good, they also asked Mrs. Jiang what kind of watercolor she used and where she bought it.

"Mrs. Jiang said it was Yanxue Pavilion, and the other ladies can testify to that." As soon as Mrs. Liu said this, the others nodded.

"Fan Jiang."

Fan Jiang was a judicial officer in the Jingzhao government office, specializing in various criminal cases.

"The humble position is here."

"Immediately take your men to surround Yan Xuege and seize all the rouge and powder in his shop. Let me conduct a thorough inspection!"

"Yes!"

After two hours, Bai Hongxian had asked almost all the questions.

Besides, the dispute between Jiang and Liu two hours ago was no secret.

"Madam Hou, what else do you have to say? There is a deep conflict between you and Madam Jiang, and everyone has seen it. You two had an argument before lunch, and if Madam Zhong hadn't intervened, you two would have almost come to blows."

Liu snorted softly, "That's true, but it doesn't mean that I'm responsible for her being like this. Lord Bai, although I can't stand Madam Jiang's face, I never bother to use these shady tricks."

Li Shuangwan had excellent hearing and she could hear clearly the conversation between the two people in the room.

Hearing this, she snorted in her heart, you disdain to use dirty tricks, so you beat Luo Luo to death. If it weren't for her and Doctor Guo, Luo Luo would have become a meal for the wild dogs in the mass grave.

Bai Hongxian's voice sounded again: "I have reason to suspect that you are retaliating."

He shook Jiang's jacket in front of Liu and said, "You sprinkled the powder on it, didn't you?"

Liu's face darkened. "Master Bai, you have no evidence, and you dare to slander me! Although my master is a second-rank official like Master Bai, we are still marquises. What qualifications do you have to doubt me based on one-sided words without any evidence?"

Bai Hongxian smiled faintly: "Madam Hou, when investigating a case, we don't ask about the official rank, we only look at the case itself. Do you have a motive?"

"Okay, then please show us the real evidence, Lord Bai. If you don't have any, I'm sorry, but I will report you to the emperor and accuse you of abusing your power."

Having said that, Liu ignored the ongoing interrogation, slammed the table, stood up, and was about to leave.

Just with this slap from her, the thing in her sleeve fell out with a click.

It was a crumpled paper bag.

Bai Hongxian's followers immediately stepped forward, picked it up, unfolded it, and found some white medicine powder that had not been shaken out.

The attendant sniffed it, glanced at Liu, and handed it to Bai Hongxian: "Sir, the scent of the medicine powder remaining in this paper bag is the same as the scent of the dress on Madam Jiang."

Liu's face changed drastically, and she said anxiously: "This thing is not mine, I didn't do it!"

Bai Hongxian glanced at her lightly, put his nose close to her and sniffed, then ordered his attendants: "Go and get the doctor who treated Madam Jiang."

The doctor was quickly called over.

Bai Hongxian pushed the clothes and paper in front of him and said, "Doctor, please check whether the powder sprinkled on this jacket is the same as the one in this paper bag."

The doctor answered yes, picked up the jacket, put it to his nose and smelled it, then picked up the paper bag.

"how?"

"To answer your question, although the smell of this jacket has faded a lot due to the smoke, it is still odorous and is consistent with the smell in this paper bag."

"This powder has a sweet smell and can attract wasps. Because a special medicine is added to it, the wasps go crazy and try desperately to sting Madam Jiang."
