After dinner, she personally mixed some potion, put the dagger into the water, and washed away the smell on the dagger in advance.

She didn't know what the smell on the dagger would attract, so she decided to wash it first.

Although the family didn't understand why she did this, they didn't ask any questions and waited for her to wash the dagger before taking it back.

Today the dagger arrived, and someone came to release the venomous snake.

According to the system's prompts, the poisonous snakes seemed to know where they lived.

In other words, the smell on these daggers can definitely attract those poisonous snakes.

Before she traveled through time, Song Hexiu's family should not have offended anyone.

Even if they have offended someone, it shouldn't be to the point of wiping out their entire family. They should have taken action long ago and wouldn't have waited until now.

However, there is also the Sheng family.

But before the Ji family came back, the Sheng family had no intention of killing them.

Now the Sheng family has been asking their family for help, how could they take action now?

The person who could make them release tens of thousands of poisonous snakes into their family must have hated their family to the core.

Who could that be?

Could it be that the murderer who caused Song Hexiu to fall off the cliff has discovered their traces?

This is not impossible. Song Hexiu passed the examination and became a Tongsheng, and he was the top scorer at that. He would definitely attract a lot of people's attention.

It's normal that it would attract the murderer's attention.

However, the person behind the tampering with the gifts in the palace must be either someone from the palace or a spy.

The palace didn't like anyone in their family, so that was only those three people.

But are they that brave?

……

next morning

Song Chuman opened the door of her room, and Yunliu came in with water for washing.

While Song Chuman was washing up, Yun Liu hurriedly said, "Second Miss, last night was so strange. Before yesterday, when we got up at night, we could still hear the sounds of various insects, but last night we heard nothing. It was really too quiet."

Song Chuman wanted to know if there was any snake that slipped through the net, so she asked, "Oh, then after you got up, did anything strange happen?"

Yun Liu said, "I didn't find anything, but I heard from others that sacks inexplicably appeared in multiple courtyards, but there was nothing inside."

"I heard that the sacks smelled bad, as if they were filled with dirty animals. Manager Xu thought the sacks were too dirty, so he threw them all away."

Song Chuman smiled and said, "It's good that it's lost."

Yunliu continued, "By the way, there was a lot more dirt in the yard for no apparent reason, and the flowers and trees in the garden looked like they had been crawled over. The managers were all wondering if something had crawled in last night, or if an assassin had come in."

Song Chuman: "So how did they deal with it?"

It seems that the people who patrolled the house last night were lucky and did not encounter those poisonous snakes.

However, the patrol plan they formulated seemed to have some major loopholes.

Yun Liu said: "Jingyi just went to the master to apologize, saying that the patrol last night was not in place, which caused the strange phenomenon in the house. The master forgave them and asked them to improve the patrol mechanism in the future."

"They also asked the master for permission and suggested taking the guards to search the entire house. The master thought the stewards' concerns were justified, so he agreed. He also told us women not to wander around and to stay in the courtyard where we serve."
