778 Poisonous Discovery
âOkay, okay, okay. Iâll go wash up now.â
Jiang Ming and Liang Sisi were brought to a room by the servants. The servants were quick and efficient, and they quickly washed and dressed the two of them.
Jiang Ming walked out. Liang Sisi saw his outfit and was instantly stunned. âLord Ning Caichen, your face is really outstanding.â
âAhhh, if only I had half of your looks.â
Madam Zhenguo could not help but praise Jiang Ming. âThatâs true. If I had a daughter, I would definitely give her to you in marriage.â
âYouâre too kind!â
Jiang Ming said modestly.
Liuâer Yuanyuan snorted coldly. âI donât think so. Letâs go to the tea party quickly.â
When she arrived at the tea party, Liuâer Yuanyuan put on a gentle expression.
Jiang Ming shook his head secretly.
Liuâer Yuanyuan was really hypocritical.
Madam Zhenguo was attending to Liuâer Yuanyuan and did not say anything. She showed some things to her excitedly.
As for Jiang Ming and Liang Sisi, after introducing them to a few people, Madam Zhenguo let them hang out by themselves.
Jiang Mingâs good looks attracted some young ladies and young masters, who surrounded him.
Jiang Ming did not like the feeling of being surrounded, so he cast a spell around him.
Suddenly, these young masters and ladies felt dizzy and kept their distance from Jiang Ming.
Liang Sisi was curious, but she did not dare to approach Jiang Ming to chat.
There were some pastries placed under the cherry blossom tree. The pastries were exquisite and delicate. Jiang Ming walked over and could tell at a glance that these pastries were poisoned.
Liang Sisi stayed at a distance. âWe have these back home too. If you like them, Iâll get someone to bring you more.â
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ming sneered. âThese pastries are poisoned. They canât be eaten at all.â
Jiang Mingâs words were neither loud nor soft, so everyone present heard them.
âLord Ning Caichen, is there a misunderstanding?â
The host of the tea party, Liuâer Yuanyuan, walked over gently. She clearly had something to say to him.
âMind your own business,â she said quietly to him.
Seeing Liuâer Yuanyuan like this, Jiang Ming did not hide anything. âNo, we can test it with my silver needles.â
Upon hearing this, Liuâer Yuanyuanâs face turned pale. In the end, she laughed again. âLetâs try.â
She looked at the servant at the side. The servant immediately walked out and placed a silver needle on the pastry.
The pastry did not change color.
âWhat do you have to say now, Lord Ning Caichen? Donât slander people without evidence!â
Liuâer Yuanyuan adjusted her blouse with an indifferent expression.
The rest of the people were speechless. âLord Ning Caichen, can you not ruin the atmosphere of the tea party?â
âThatâs right. Youâve been ruining the atmosphere of the tea party! Youâve made people so upset that they canât enjoy the tea party. Youâre the worst!â
âI knew it. How could Mrs. Liuâer harm us? This is not funny.â
Jiang Ming laughed. âReally? I remember that I saw the rules of your tea party just now. Youâre not allowed to bring your own silverware. It seems that youâre afraid that children will be injured by accident.â
Liuâer Yuanyuan said indifferently, âThatâs true. What else do you want to say? Tell us.â
She had indeed poisoned the pastries, but she did not think Ning Caichen would notice.
This was because some poisons could not be detected at all.
Moreover, her silverware was not made of silver, but something else.
Seeing how quiet Liuâer Yuanyuan was, Jiang Ming took out a silver needle unhurriedly and inserted it into a pastry. The silver needle immediately turned black.
Liuâer Yuanyuanâs hands which were hidden in her sleeves suddenly trembled.
She had never thought that Ning Caichen would be able to find the poisoned pastries so accurately.
âAh!â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Some young ladies in the crowd cried out in alarm and retreated in panic.
The young ladies beside her comforted her, but their expressions were not any better.
They did not understand why Liuâer Yuanyuan wanted to harm them.
âIt must have been someone else who poisoned the pastries! Otherwise, how could it be that only this one was poisoned? Besides, who knows if your silver needle was the one with the poison?â
Liuâer Yuanyuan quickly regained their composure and continued to accuse him.
Then, she called the others to insert more silver needles into the pastry that Jiang Ming had just poked. The silver needle did not change color at all.
âWhatâs going on?â
Madam Zhenguo was dumbfounded. She personally went up and tried inserting a silver needle into the pastry. Still, nothing happened.
âIs there some misunderstanding here?â
She looked at Jiang Ming and Liuâer Yuanyuan and asked.
âSome poisons cannot be tested, so it is useless even if you try.â
Jiang Ming was calm as he complained in his heart.
This Liuâer Yuanyuan was really a shrewd old woman!
Thinking of this, he clapped his hands. âI think we should call a doctor over.â
âGo and call the doctor.â
Liuâer Yuanyuan secretly threw a glance at the servant. Her intentions were very obvious.
She wanted the servant to do something.
Madam Zhenguo and the others did not understand the meaning of Liuâer Yuanyuanâs glance at all, but Jiang Ming understood.
âIn my opinion, why donât we let Madam Zhenguoâs people go and find a doctor?â Jiang Ming said as if he did not trust Liuâer Yuanyuan.
Liuâer Yuanyuan was furious. âWhy donât you trust me? What right do you have to accuse me of all these things?â
Her reputation of being gentle and sweet had been torn apart, but she could not care less now.
If the doctor found out that she had poisoned the pastries, she would definitely be finished.
Thinking of this, Liuâer looked at the servant and said, âYou donât have to listen to Ning Caichen. Go and get the doctor.â
âIf you were the one who poisoned the pastries, then you should not be the one to invite the doctor. You could easily bribe the doctor.â
Jiang Ming did not waste time talking nonsense with Liuâer Yuanyuan and immediately gave everyone a concise analysis.
His words received the approval of all the young guests.
However, Liuâer Yuanyuanâs family was powerful, and they could not afford to offend them.
Moreover, this was a chance to curry favor with Liuâer Yuanyuan!
Thinking of this, a young man called Wang Xilan spoke up for Liuâer Yuanyuan. âWhy would Madam Liuâer Yuanyuan harm us? It wonât benefit her at all.â
