Chapter 20 I was wrong



Everyone had already been aroused by Luo Xue Ning and couldn't wait for Luo Xue Ning to produce evidence.

Even Prince Jing, who had been acting very impatient, showed a rare look of anticipation.

The complicated case, the incomplete evidence, the eloquent criminals, and so many other factors interfered with her thinking.

Long Moxun wanted to see how capable Luo Xuening was and whether she could really find evidence under such an unfavorable situation.

"In fact, you did it very carefully and perfectly implemented a plan to kill someone with someone else's knife. Even if Madam Liu was cleared of suspicion in the end, you were able to erase the traces of your murder. Therefore, to find your flaws, we really can't start from the case itself."

Luo Xuening was talking about you, not you, which means there is someone behind this maid.

But those words left everyone stunned. If we want to investigate a case, how else can we analyze it and make assumptions if we don't analyze the case facts?

Of course, no one would understand that what Luo Xuening really wanted to express was that the mastermind behind the scenes would not be revealed easily.

"Get to the point."

Luo Xue Ning was just about to persuade him patiently, but a cold voice interrupted her thoughts at an inopportune time. Luo Xue Ning could only say "OK", skipping the reasoning process and speaking directly.

"In order to frame Madam Liu, you specifically persuaded Madam Liu to prepare the medicine for Lord Liu in advance. After the medicine was prepared, you put the poison of swallowtail flower into the medicine bowl, stirred it evenly, and then went with your master to deliver the medicine to Lord Liu. After Lord Liu took the medicine you sent, the poison did not take effect immediately."

"So you had enough time to destroy the evidence. The poison left in the medicine bowl was quickly cleaned up by you. At that time, it was just that Lord Liu was poisoned, so no one would suspect you. However, the net of heaven is vast, even if you counted all the evidence, the final flaw was you."

Hearing these words firmly, Luo Xuening was certain that there was nothing wrong with her reasoning process. However, looking at the maid's wrinkled brows and the hostility that could not be concealed between her brows, it was clear that her true vicious face was revealed.

"You, even if that's the case, what basis do you have for your judgment? I did this alone. I'm just a servant and I have to obey my master's orders in everything."

The maid admitted her crime, but when she spoke, her resentful eyes were clearly directed at Madam Liu. The resentment in her eyes seemed as if she wanted to drag Madam Liu down with her.

Luo Xue Ning couldn't help but wonder why this maid harbored such deep hostility towards Liu. However, no matter what, the maid was convicted of murder.

Luo Xuening glanced at the calm Liu and continued, "Your skin is delicate and your hands don't smell like medicine, which means you don't often boil medicine. However, the blisters on your left hand have been formed for no more than three days. There is also a shallow scar on your left hand, which is consistent with the crack on the medicine jar. In other words, the medicine that Lord Liu made before his death had passed through your hands."

"When a person suddenly does something contrary to his usual habits, it must be a conscious action, which means that your initiative to ask for the decoction to be made has a purpose."

"Also, although Madam Liu often makes soups, her hands are clean and white, which shows that she is very good at making soups. If Madam Liu wanted to poison, she would definitely choose to make the medicine herself instead of handing it over to a clumsy maid like you. It can only be said that Madam Liu had no idea that you were going to poison Lord Liu, so she acted as a shield for you."

"Well, I've made it clear enough, haven't I?"

Luo Xue Ning finally made a conclusion, and the maid beside her had already turned pale and was trembling and unable to speak. This person was too scary. She actually guessed his murder steps with just a few details.

Madam Liu turned around angrily. She had remained silent until now. She even thought that her maid was forced to do the wrong thing of poisoning her master. However, she did not expect that the maid she trusted was deliberately harming her master and even wanted to harm herself.

"I've treated you well, why are you doing this?"

"You treat me well, you treat me well only because I can benefit from it. You vicious woman, you know that I have a lover, but you still go to great lengths to give me to the master. You are not worthy of me serving you."

In the Nanshao Kingdom, there is a kind of people who are between maids and masters. They are the maids who serve their female masters during the day and their male masters at night. To put it nicely, their status is higher than that of maids, but in fact, they are not even as good as concubines.

No wonder Madam Liu's maid was unwilling to be a concubine.

Madam Liu, listening to the maid's angry roar, turned pale, and finally said helplessly.

"I never thought of making you my concubine. I am imprisoned in this mansion. How could I sacrifice your happiness? You really disappoint me."

Madam Liu's voice was filled with endless sorrow, and it was unclear whether she was mourning for herself or for her maid.

"No, you don't plan to make me a concubine, then why did you prepare so many new clothes for me? It's obvious that you have this intention."

"That's enough. I prepared new clothes for you because you have served me for so many years. In half a year, your contract will expire, and I will let you go back."

Madam Liu's voice was choked with sobs, and the maid was stunned where she stood.

She had never thought that the new clothes that the lady prepared for her were just for her. What did she do?

The maid was stunned for a while, then suddenly raised her eyes and looked at a noble lady in the crowd with a sharp gaze. However, the noble lady opened her mouth calmly and lip-synched three words, but no one could hear clearly what they were.

However, the maid felt as if she had touched a scale. She dropped her hands helplessly, murmuring softly: "I was wrong, I was wrong..."

The case was now closed, and the housekeeper quickly responded: "Come here, take the murderer away and hand him over to the authorities for punishment."

What he said was to hand it over to the government for handling, so naturally, the people present could not say anything more. Even though Luo Xuening felt in her heart that the butler's method was actually an attempt to cover up his mistake, she remained silent.

For a moment, everyone looked at Luo Xuening with admiration, she was truly amazing.

In just half an hour, a cold case was solved.

This seemingly ordinary "man" actually used "his" talent to save the hearts of the little maids in the Liu Mansion.

Luo Xue Ning only felt that someone was looking at her with affectionate eyes. She couldn't help but blush and lowered her head silently. It was not that Luo Xue Ning was shy, she just didn't want people to know that she was a woman dressed as a man.

"I have another question. Since you said that the poison of the swallow grass was put into the soup, why did the murderer leave the residue? Wouldn't it be better to destroy the evidence directly?"

As soon as Long Moxun finished speaking, someone echoed, "Yeah, why didn't she just clean up the medicine residue?"

Luo Xue Ning glanced at everyone helplessly and sighed deeply. She was not the murderer, so how could she know what the murderer was thinking? I was analyzing the criminal's psychology, not the roundworm in the criminal's stomach. These people, really...

Luo Xuening thought for a moment and decided to use an ambiguous statement to explain the maid's psychology.

"This may be the criminal's escapist mentality. She wants to frame someone else, so she deliberately made so many things happen to confuse the public."

After hearing this, everyone was speechless, and Prince Jing just glanced coldly at the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion.

"Butler Liu, now that the murderer has been found, you know what to do next."

What Long Moxun said was of course to prove Gu Hang's innocence. Since the real murderer was a servant of their Liu Mansion, then Gu Hang could naturally be released. However, this case was not over yet.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I will explain to the officials tomorrow that Master Gu is innocent."

Long Moxun snorted coldly, turned around and left, and Luo Xuening also quickly followed Long Moxun out of Liu Mansion.

Now that the real murderer has been found and Gu Hang's innocence has been proven, then there should be nothing for her to do.

"My Lord, my mission is complete. Can I go back now?"

"Who said your mission was accomplished?"

Long Moxun's voice was still cold, but it revealed a majesty that could not be refused.

Luo Xue Ning said embarrassedly: "The murderer has been found, and Master Gu's innocence has not been proven. I don't remember that the prince once gave me another task."

"How dare you say that you wasted my time just to find out about a maid, Luo Xue Ning, I'm talking about finding out about this case, but let me ask you, did you really find out about it just now?"
