Lu Ni was so angry that her face turned red.
That damned Gu San is actually mocking her identity! That's too much, absolutely too much!
If her maternal grandfather and aunt were still alive, Gu San wouldn't have the right to mock her.
She felt like crying; she missed her maternal grandfather and aunt.
However, sometimes that's just how reality is: the more you want something, the less likely you are to get it.
Lu Ni and the Lin family mother and son have completely lost their backing and are worried that Lu Zheng will punish them. For the past year, they have only dared to do things secretly and have never dared to do what they used to do.
Looking at her like this, Gu Xin felt a little bored and didn't want to watch anymore. She asked, "What kind of medicinal herbs did you send over? Did Princess Longzhu take them on the spot, or did you put them away?"
Lu Ni bit her lip and remained silent.
Gu Xin frowned: "You answer my questions. If you don't cooperate, I have plenty of ways to make you cooperate."
Lu Ni was still somewhat afraid of Gu Xin. She had witnessed Gu Xin's abilities firsthand during the case at the teahouse, not to mention the numerous major cases Gu Xin had solved in recent months.
She knows best whether she harmed Princess Dragon Pearl; the inner voices within her are fighting each other.
In the end, the petty person who made her temporarily put aside her dissatisfaction won.
She reluctantly began, “The medicine I sent was all from my family’s storeroom. There are records in my family’s storeroom. It’s all good medicine for wounds, bestowed by the Emperor, so there’s definitely no problem with it. There’s also some treasured in my mother’s private storeroom, which my maternal grandfather gave to her. It’s tree root from Xingnan Kingdom, and it has miraculous effects.”
At this moment, Zheng Qiu walked up and asked, "Is this it?"
Lu Ni glanced at Zheng Qiu with disdain; she didn't want to talk to a junior coroner.
Gu Xin said, "I'm asking you a question."
Lu Ni said angrily, "How would I know if it is or not? Aren't all powders the same? The tree root was indeed ground into powder, but I don't know how. Who knows if it's just something the coroner randomly picked out?"
Gu Xin turned to look at Zheng Qiu.
Zheng Qiu explained, "Third Miss, I found this medicine packet in Princess Nanlin's dressing table drawer. It has been examined, and it contains poison. Princess Nanlin's death is related to this poison."
Prince Tiantian stood up in surprise: "What?"
He looked at Lu Ni in disbelief.
Lu Ni was also shocked: "Impossible! How could there be poison in this? This was a gift from the people of Xingnan Kingdom to my maternal grandfather, and he gave it to my mother. It was for saving lives. If it were poisonous, why would my grandfather give it to my mother? You little coroner, don't talk nonsense if you don't know!"
Gu Xin turned to look at Lu Ni and Prince Tian Tian: "So, this thing was indeed brought by Lu Ni?"
Prince Tian Tian: "Yes!"
Lu Ni waved her hand: "No, no. This is definitely not poisonous, it can't be poisonous. My mother ate it too, how could it be poisonous? I had someone grind it overnight, it's the same as what my mother ate before. Impossible, impossible."
"Oh, I know. It was you, Gu Xin. Was it you? Was it you who deliberately harmed me? And Lu Zheng, you two, you despicable couple, you couldn't stand me, but you couldn't do anything to me, so you wanted to harm me openly in this way?"
"I need to find my father. I need to find my father. This isn't poisoned, you're framing me!"
