”All of you, stop arguing!” Gu Heng suddenly stood up and interrupted the noise in the room, ”Which one of you came over to take a look at Eldest Miss? Do you know how she disappeared?

Xie Jingqi almost burst into tears. She really did not dare to look at Eldest Miss again, she could still vividly remember the way her big brother died, and how could she not wake up even if she carried him in her arms. Her child loved to sleep so much, how could she not wake him up?

Just as Lady Xu was about to go forward and pick up Eldest Miss, she was stopped by Xie Jingxi, ”I don't care how much you misunderstand me, but Eldest Miss can't move now.

Lady Xu pointed at Xie Jingxi's nose and cursed: ”What reason do you have to stop me, that's my granddaughter.

”Big Sis, can I trouble you to help mother down?”

Xie Jingxi endured the anger in her heart, and asked Xie Jingyi to help him down, causing Lady Xu to become angry, ”You're a big shot now, aren't you?

”Mother, let's not talk about that for now. Leave the matters of the Eldest Miss to brother-in-law to investigate. I'll help you leave first.” Xie Jingyi knew what was at stake, so she pulled Lady Xu down without any explanation.

Without the two women's noise, Xie Jingxi's rowdy mind finally quieted down. She squatted in front of Eldest Miss's bed and carefully looked at her small body.

Although he did not like Xie Jingqi, he had the heart and soul of two children. Right now, no matter how silly he was, he could tell that there was something strange about his two children's deaths, and when Xie Jingxi had warned him before, he did not ignore her reminder. However, this kind of thing was impossible to guard against, and no one knew who was so ruthless about it, to the point where even a child would not be let go.

”I'm sorry.” Gu Heng painfully touched his face, and in a barely audible voice, said to Xie Jingxi: ”You've suffered, I should have listened to you back then …”

”Shh …” Xie Jingxi interrupted him, ”Now is not the time to talk about this, help me roll over on Eldest Miss's behalf.”

Seeing her serious expression, Gu Heng also removed the pain in his heart, and stepped forward to help support Eldest Miss. Xie Jingxi lifted Eldest Miss's clothes, and checked the skin on his back, but there were no scars on his body at all. Those who did not know actually thought he was sleeping, Xie Jingxi could not wrap her head around it, and his eyes suddenly saw the jade bracelet in her hands.

”The Imperial Physician Pei is here!”

hurried over, and with just a glance, he said, ”This is poison.”

Xie Jingxi stepped aside for Pei Zixi, ”Imperial Physician Pei might be able to see what kind of poison it is. ”I've just checked and found no signs of poisoning.”

It was definitely not just any normal poison. When she died in her previous life, she seemed to have been poisoned by this poison, although she did not see how she died, but all of these things were very similar.

Pei Zixi felt it was strange when he first saw them, there were traces to look for, usually when he first saw them, he could easily guess what they were, but other than Eldest Miss's small face that was extremely pale white and filled with an aura of death, he could not see anything else.

This was the first time Pei Zixi encountered such a thorny cause of death, he examined Eldest Miss's body for a long time before saying with a serious expression: ”I think it might be Wuhen.”

”Wuhen?”

Yes, it's Wuhen. Although I have never personally seen it before, but I have heard of such a powerful poison, colourless and tasteless, dead and unaware, I had thought at one time that it was only a poison from the rumors, but the death of the Eldest Miss conforms to its symptoms. Other than this, I do not know what other poison could cause people to become like this.

”Fourth Uncle, I'll have to trouble you to send people out to take a good look at all the exit doors to Marquis Mansion. From now on, no one is allowed to go out, and there are also grandmother and Sixth Miss.

Gu Wan knew that the situation was serious, without saying a word, she went out to make the arrangements. Xie Jingxi then looked at the bracelet in Eldest Miss's hands, and was about to grab it, but was stopped by Pei Zixi.

Pei Zixi held onto the specialized gloves, gently opened Eldest Miss's small hand, and took out the bracelet as he tried to pull it out. He first looked at the light for a while, then placed it under his nose and took a whiff, ”There's the smell of malt candy.”

Sugar? Xie Jingxi suddenly realized that she was just smearing a sweet candy on the bracelet, telling her why elder sister was holding onto the bracelet so tightly.

However, why was it that she had been extremely cautious before, and why did she have to do it so blatantly this time? Could it be that it was all to frame her?
