"You're jealous of me, and you hate me! But you don't dare to do anything to me, so you took out your anger on my cat and poisoned it to death. "Qiu Shu spoke with righteous indignation.
She believed that Ji Yunshu poisoned the cat!
Moreover, this debt must be settled now.
Ji Yunshu was speechless. What jealousy? What resentment?
It was all a joke!
Right now, she only wanted to quickly solve the case and clear Li Shiyan's name. She didn't have the mind to care about such things! Qiu Shu pestered her again and again like a child playing house. It was really annoying. "Miss Qiu, your logic is really hard to understand! First of all, I don't want to have anything to do with you, nor do I view you as my enemy. Since you aren't my enemy, I won't retaliate against you. Moreover, every time you cause trouble for me, I will avoid you whenever I can. Why would I poison your cat to provoke you? Finally, if I really poisoned your cat, I would have thrown it far away after I did it. I wouldn't have carried it out of the room and let your maidservant see it.
You suspect me, but since none of this is true, you don't have any evidence and you didn't see me poison it with your own eyes. Yet, based on one side of the story, you conclude that I am the murderer! Not only are you wrongly accusing me, but you are also framing me. "
Qiu Shu stared blankly at her words.
Even if someone didn't know the truth, they wouldn't believe that Ji Yunshu would poison a cat to death. Moreover, she was such an intelligent person. How could she carry the cat out after poisoning it?
The maidservant was also stunned. She reorganized Ji Yunshu's words and looked at Qiu Shu. "Miss, it seems … it's like this. This servant really didn't see Miss Ji poison the cat, so …"
Before she could finish, Qiu Shu berated her, "Shut up!"
The maidservant shrunk back. Qiu Shu didn't care about that nonsense. When a woman's mind was filled with anger, how could she use reason to think? She handed Little Guozi to the maidservant and grabbed Ji Yunshu's hand. "Don't talk to me about this.
My Little Guozi usually doesn't eat random things. I also pay great attention to its diet. Aside from the pastries you give it, it won't eat anything else. If it wasn't you, who else could it be? You are the murderer! "
"Must you be so stubborn?"
"You evil woman! Today, I will teach you a good lesson. "Qiu Shu raised her hand, intending to ruthlessly slap Ji Yunshu's face. She didn't have enough time to dodge the slap. She could only watch as the palm flew towards her face. At that critical moment, a stone flew out of nowhere and hit Qiu Shu's wrist. She felt a burst of pain and raised her head.
His arm was pushed to the side by the force, and even his body was pushed back, almost falling to the ground.
Ji Yunshu was startled. She turned around to look in the direction where the stone had flown from and saw a hole in the paper covering the coffin. The stone must have flown in from the outside.
Who was it?
She didn't even have time to think about who it was before Qiu Shu said fiercely, "Good, you actually used dishonest means?"
"Miss Qiu, you better calm down."
"Calm down? Xiao Guozi is already dead, and you're telling me to calm down? "Qiu Shu wasn't willing to give up and raised her hand again. But just like before, another stone flew in through the window and hit her arm. This time, the force was even stronger than before. If it weren't for someone supporting her from behind, she would have already fallen to the ground. At this moment, her face was flushed red.
Clutching her arm in pain, she fiercely glared at the 'culprit' and said, "What did you do to me?" Ji Yunshu didn't know, but she had a faint feeling that someone was protecting her from behind! She knew that she couldn't continue to be entangled like this. Right now, she had to think of a way to quickly solve the problem. Thus, she looked at the dead kitten.
The black cat said, "You said that I poisoned this cat. Why don't you let me take a look? Perhaps, I can find out who it is."
"The cat has already been poisoned by you, and you still want to see its corpse?"
"I'll say it one more time. I didn't poison your cat. Since I didn't poison it, I can definitely find evidence to prove my innocence." Ji Yunshu walked in front of the little girl and said, "Let me see it."
The little girl hesitated for a moment and asked for her miss' permission.
Qiu Shu thought that things had already come to this point. She gritted her teeth and gestured for the cat to be handed to Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu carried the cat and then saw the doctor standing in the courtyard. She walked over and asked, "Doctor, I believe that you must have seen the cat's illness. May I know what poison it was?"
The doctor said, "Aconitum poison." "Aconitum poison?" Ji Yunshu searched for the toxicity of this poison in her mind as she said, "Aconitum poison is a kind of latent poison. It won't kill people immediately. Generally, the poison will only take effect after twenty-four hours. Doctor, I'm right.
Is that right? "
"That's right. Miss, you know art."
"I only learned it from a friend." Ji Yunshu then placed the cat on the stone table in the courtyard. She lightly pressed on the cat's stomach. She didn't know where she pressed, but the cat suddenly opened its mouth and spat something out.
When the girls in the courtyard saw this, they all looked away.
It was extremely disgusting!
They all covered their noses with handkerchiefs.
Even Qiu Shu couldn't help but feel disgusted. She glanced over and rushed forward to ask, "What are you doing?"
Ji Yunshu said, "Didn't you want to know how the cat died? What did it eat when it was alive? These are all things in its stomach that haven't been digested in time. Who knows, some of these things might have been poisoned. "
"You're really disgusting!" "Fine. Since you think these things are disgusting, then I don't care about it anymore. Whether you want to find the person who really poisoned this cat is up to you. I can only prove my innocence." She looked at the maidservant and asked, "Last night, when did you lose your cat?
”
The maidservant said, "At the beginning of the night."
"Then when did you see me carry the cat out?"
"About … at the end of the night."
"Just now, you heard from the doctor that the aconitum poison takes more than twenty-four hours to take effect. But from last night until now, not even twelve hours have passed. If that's the case, how could I have poisoned this cat to death?"
Qiu Shu was speechless for a moment.
"Miss Qiu, you're questioning me without clarifying anything. You even wanted to raise your hand to hit me. It's said that the young ladies of prestigious families are well-educated and very intelligent. But after spending a few days together, you've changed my opinion."
"You …" "Also, the thing that came out of the cat's stomach is on the table. You can ask the coroner who examined Wang Huai's body to take a look. Maybe they can find out what poisonous thing it ate." Her tone was cold, and her eyes flickered slightly.
"Of course, you can also beg me. Maybe I can find the murderer faster than the coroner."
These words were like needles that pierced Qiu Shu's body.
Seeing that she was speechless, Ji Yunshu entered the room and turned to her. "If you've thought it through, you can look for me at any time."
With that, she closed the door.
Qiu Shu stood rooted to the ground, unable to react.
Until the maidservant called out softly, "Miss?"
Qiu Shu clenched her fists and looked at the thing that came out of the cat's mouth on the stone table. She shouted loudly, "Hurry up and find the coroner!"
"Yes!"
Then, she left in a huff.
The group of people dispersed one after another …
At this time, Zhu Yao woke up. After a night's sleep, she looked much better. She faintly heard movement outside and sat up on the bed.
Cai 'er just came in from outside. "Miss, you're awake."
"What happened outside?"
"It's nothing."
"Nothing? Don't lie to me, is it … "The commotion in the courtyard was caused by Qiu Shu, and whenever Qiu Shu caused a ruckus, it would involve Ji Yunshu.
Therefore, she couldn't help but worry!
Cai 'er knew that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she told her the truth.
