Chapter 148: You Didn’t Kill Her

"Yes." Wen Juexia said, "When I went there, Xiaokui was squatting there counting ants."

"Xiao Kui said that Lord Shen left after receiving the note and asked him to stay."

Xie Yingmian was deep in thought.

She didn't believe Shen Tingsi, but she believed Yu Lingye.

Let's take a step back.

Even if Shen Tingsi didn't come, she would have no problem protecting herself.

The Stone of Longevity can be found by chance but not by seeking.

After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, she decided to go to the west wing.

"Lead the way." Xie Yingmian said to the maid.

Madam Xie Hou watched Xie Yingmian and the other two leave, a hint of ferocity flashing in her eyes.

Before the birthday party begins.

She received a message from Baoyu and Baozhang,

The message said that they had come up with a perfect plan and would make Xie Yingmian pay the price.

Mrs. Xie knew that her son and daughter always had many ideas, so she let them do as they pleased.

Xie Yingmian was called away by the maid, it must be her son who took action.

There was a glint of poison in Mrs. Xie's eyes.

"Bitch, you've been so arrogant today, now you'll feel the pain of being ruined!"

When I thought about Xie Yingmian being ruined,

Mrs. Xie Hou felt relaxed all over and full of energy.

The three of them walked for a long time before they arrived at the west wing.

Wen Juexia went to find incense first.

Not finding any trace of aphrodisiac incense, he looked around for a place to hide.

After searching for a long time, I found nothing.

"It turns out that everything in the storybook is a lie." Wen Juexia said regretfully.

Xie Yingmian did not sense the existence of the Longevity Stone.

She said to the maid, "The Immortality Stone is not here."

Maid: "Please change your clothes first, then I will tell you in detail."

Xie Yingmian looked at her dress, which was covered with soup and dishes, which was disgusting.

Xie Yingmian changed her clothes as instructed.

The maid said, "I'll take your clothes and wash and dry them for you."

"No need." Xie Yingmian said, "Pack the clothes and I'll take them back to wash."

The maid had no objection.

She respectfully cleaned the dishes and soup off her clothes, packed them up, and handed them to Wen Juexia.

"My patience is limited," Xie Yingmian said. "Don't delay any longer. I'll ask you one last time: where is the Immortality Stone?"

"Don't you already have the answer?" the maid said, "The Immortality Stone is definitely not here."

Wen Juexia was furious: "You really lied to us!"

The maid said, "I didn't lie to you."

"I only said the relic is in the west wing, not the Immortality Stone."

Wen Juexia: "You clearly didn't say that, yet you're still trying to make excuses!"

The maid laughed and said, "I never said there was only one relic."

"I have two relics in my hands."

"The first relic is right here. I'm not lying."

"The second relic is the Stone of Immortality, which is not in the Xie family."

"The Immortality Stone is on the third floor of the Treasure House. You need to go to a place called Nameless Alley and find a man named Lao Huang. Then you can exchange the first relic for the key."

The maid took a piece of jade from the table, which was of unknown shape, and said, "This is the first relic I was talking about."

"This is something your mother held in her hand until she died. The Xie family thought it was some treasure and kept it."

"Later, the appraiser told them that the jade was worthless, and the Xie family didn't know the true use of the jade and just left it there."

"I coaxed Xie Baozhang and Xie Baoyu into taking it out."

"After exchanging this relic for the key, go to the third floor of the Treasure House and find the corresponding box. The Immortality Stone is there."

Xie Yingmian knew that the maid was playing word games with her.

She didn't pursue the matter, but only asked: "How do you know so clearly?"

The maid said, "I have nothing to say about this."

"What I can tell you is that I definitely didn't lie to you this time. Returning the two relics to their original owners is my way of thanking you."

Xie Yingmian: "What is your purpose?"

The maid said, "Seek justice for him."

Xie Yingmian frowned slightly: "Who?"

The maid smiled miserably: "General Longyuan Wang, Xiao Kehan."

Xie Yingmian had never heard of this name.

"I don't even know him..."

Before Xie Yingmian could finish her words, the maid suddenly attacked Wen Juexia.

Wen Juexia subconsciously fought back.

The maid's kung fu was quite good and she suppressed Wen Juexia everywhere.

Wen Juexia didn't dare to be careless and used his real strength.

The two fought for a while.

Wen Juexia found the flaw and slapped the maid on the chest.

The maidservant spat out a mouthful of blood.

Almost at the same time, blood began to flow from her eyes, mouth, nose and ears.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The maid said sorry twice.

One was spoken to Xie Yingmian, and the other was spoken to Wen Juexia.

"Thank you."

After saying this, she collapsed to the ground and died.

Wen Juexia looked at his hands in disbelief: "I killed someone?"

"I... the force I used just now could at most injure her, so how did she die?"

"Sister Mianmian, I..."

"Don't talk, open your mouth." Xie Yingmian said seriously.

Wen Juexia opened her mouth obediently.

Xie Yingmian stuffed a pill into Wen Juexia's mouth.

"What is this?" Wen Juexia chewed it and found it a bit bitter, similar to the Wu Ji Bai Feng Wan she took when she had stomach pain during her menstrual period. It didn't taste very good.

"Anti-dote pills." Xie Yingmian said, "Stretch out your hand."

Wen Juexia obediently stretched out her hand.

Xie Yingmian took Wen Juexia's pulse, and his expression became more and more solemn.

Wen Juexia saw that Xie Yingmian's expression was not right and became a little nervous: "Sister Mianmian, what happened?"

Xie Yingmian said: "You didn't kill her, she committed suicide by taking poison."

"Before she died, she poisoned you."

"That poison is very strong. Even if you take the antidote pills in time, there will still be a lot of residual effects. You will feel very uncomfortable for a short time."

Wen Juexia's eyes widened: "Taking poison right under Sister Mianmian's nose? How did she do it?"

Xie Yingmian: ...

This girl's focus is really different.

"I was careless." Xie Yingmian said.

"The way she poisoned him was very strange. There was no poison on her body, and there was no poison in the room."

"The poison is on my clothes."

Wen Juexia quickly thought of the key point: "Those vegetable soups?"

"That's right," Xie Yingmian said, "Neither the dish nor the soup can be considered poison. Putting that thing in the soup is just a seasoning at best."

"Most of today's dishes contain that seasoning, which is why I overlooked it."

"This maid used something else when she cleaned the stain."

"When the two things merge, they form a deadly poison."

Wen Juexia suddenly realized: "She poisoned the clothes when she was cleaning them?"

Xie Yingmian nodded: "She walked very fast all the way, and seemed very anxious."

"But things slowed down here. First she asked me to change my clothes, then she helped me clean the stains, and even cleaned and dried my clothes. It was so disjointed and contradictory."

"But our attention was elsewhere and we didn't notice these details."

"Now that I think about it, the reason she did all this was to create a colorless and odorless poison right under my nose."

"And, she seems..." Xie Yingmian paused, with a guess in his mind.
