A new bowl of water was brought up.
Fu Rongxin picked up the silver needle. As she felt the tingling pain from her fingertips, she felt an excitement that she couldn't suppress.
Finally... two lifetimes.
In her previous life, it took only a few days for her to go from being recognized as a relative to becoming the queen, and then being beheaded. In her two lifetimes, she had never had a good life as a concubine's daughter of a merchant family.
Now, everything that belongs to her is finally coming back!
See who dares to bully her, who dares to look down on her!
Especially Xue Zhiyi, who had snatched her identity for so long, and now he was about to be trampled into the mud.
It would be better for her to be sent to the Fu family. Fu Jiahui and Fu Jiamin, those two jealous people, will torture her a hundredfold or a thousand times in the future no matter how much they flattered Xue Zhiyi in the past.
It’s so refreshing to let Xue Zhiyi taste the suffering she has endured!
Whack…
That drop of blood slowly blossomed like a Lycoris radiata on the road to the underworld, reflected in her eyes full of expectation.
When Fu Ling picked up the silver needle, Fu Rongxin's heart beat rapidly, her eyes full of eagerness... Just one touch, just one drop of blood, and she would be the legitimate daughter of the Xue family...
Suddenly, a warm feeling passed through her face.
Fu Rongxin realized it belatedly and looked to the side.
Gao Qingnian, who had been staring at the bowl of water just now, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The black blood splashed on her face, making her stunned for a moment.
"ah!"
I don't know which maid or servant screamed, but Gao Qingnian looked incredulous, gurgling in his throat, and fell straight down.
The blood was stinking, and Xue Zhiyi took a few steps back to avoid getting stained by the dirty blood.
Fu Ling subconsciously pulled Fu Rongxin into his arms. Fu Rongxin just stared blankly and said hesitantly, "What happened..."
In panic, the Gao family's servants rushed forward and squatted down to check Gao Qingnian's breathing.
Gao Qingnian's eyes were wide open, and black blood was oozing from his mouth, nose and eye sockets. He looked extremely terrifying.
The servant's hands trembled. He held his nose for a moment, then gasped and fell to the ground. "Master, he... he's dead!"
"What!?"
Immediately, there was chaos in the main hall.
Who would care about a blood test at this moment? No matter how low Gao Qingnian's official position was, he was still a member of the imperial court. How would his death in the Xue family end in such an unclear manner?
And the cause of death was clearly poisoning!
Who did it?
Fu Ling looked at the people around her warily, and suddenly, she looked at Fu Rongxin in her arms.
But Fu Rongxin just shook her head in panic. She whispered, "No...it's not me..."
Judging from her expression, Fu Rongxin certainly didn't look like she knew anything about it.
After a moment of daze, Fu Ling acted like the mistress of the house: "Mother Xing, please call the doctor!"
He then said to the Xue family's servants, "This is a serious matter. No one except Mother Xing can be allowed to leave the Xue Mansion!"
Now that Gao Qingnian died of poisoning at the Xue family, she was afraid that the Xue family could not escape responsibility. The Gao family had little power, so it would be best if the matter could be settled privately. In short, before this matter became clear, she had to stop the Gao family from reporting the matter to the police.
Now she could only hope that Xue Zhentong would leave the court soon, otherwise she herself didn't know how long she could hold on.
At this moment, Xue Tingliu raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes glanced at the screen in the main hall. Behind the screen, there was also a pair of eyes staring at this place.
Rong Ziying's hands were on the screen, trembling with nervousness. She asked Chuntao, "Have you asked for help?"
Chun Tao said, "Don't worry, Auntie. The Second Young Master has already sent someone to inform the gatekeeper and have them inform the Gao family's groom who's waiting outside first!"
"Okay." Rong Ziying sneered: "If Fu Rongxin is really Fu Ling's daughter, that would be even better! If so, wouldn't Fu Ling be more miserable than death!"
At this moment, the Gao family was already frantic with anxiety. The servant shouted, "What does Madam Xue mean by this? Since the Master is acting like this, we must return to the mansion and report it. The Xue family is acting like this, showing a guilty conscience!"
Fu Ling said, "It's still unclear whether Mr. Gao's symptoms were caused by someone. If it was, anyone here could be the murderer. If we don't close the door tightly and let the murderer escape, what will happen?"
Amidst the chaos, Xue Zhiyi just sat down calmly, like an outsider, wiping the blood from the wound on his fingertips, as if to erase the last connection with this dirty place.
After all, this was the Xue Mansion, and the Gao family members didn't dare to make too much noise. They could only surround Gao Qingnian and beat their chests and stamp their feet while waiting for the doctor.
Fu Rongxin is still a little dazed. Gao Qingnian just died like that?
But she had a hunch that the shadow this person had brought to her would not dissipate so quickly.
She looked at the bowl of water. The drop of blood in it had long since dissipated, leaving only a faint red color in the water.
It was clearly just a little bit away... just a drop of Fu Ling's blood.
Gao Qingnian could have died at any other time, but at that time!
When the doctor was hurriedly summoned, he was also shocked. Looking at the cruelly dead man on the ground, he felt his pulse, examined his pupils, and dipped a silver needle in some dirty blood before concluding, "Madam, this man is dead. There is no need to save him. Judging from the death, the cause of death is probably poison."
Immediately, the Gao family servants wailed, "We need to report to the police! We need to report to the police!"
"Someone has poisoned me! Madam, please open the door and let me in so I can report to the police!"
Fu Ling's face turned pale... Who did it? Who did it?
She said coldly: "Go and ask the master to come back first!"
At this moment, a commotion was heard.
The doorman stumbled over and said, "Madam!"
Seeing this, Fu Ling had a bad feeling: "What's wrong?"
The doorman shouted in surprise, "The Gao family and the Dali Temple are here! They're right outside the door!"
