The wife of a marquis died tragically and was divorced. After her rebirth, she killed people everywh

I got sick and lost face, but I got to know Madam Feng's temper better. It was a blessing in disguise.

?

Xie Liuzheng thanked Mr. Pei for the reminder and asked where her illness came from.

?

Mr. Pei frowned and thought for a moment. "I have just made it clear that your illness is probably caused by someone around you tampering with your diet. To be more specific, it is rotten meat. Miss, you might as well recall whether you have eaten wontons or meatballs today."

?

A bowl of shrimp dumplings was indeed served for breakfast, but Xie Liuzheng felt that it was too greasy to eat so early in the morning, so she took one bite and refused to eat.

?

"Thank you, sir. I will be leaving now. If you need anything, just let me know."

?

After Xie Liuzheng found out the cause of the illness, he stood up to say goodbye and got on the carriage. The smile on his face faded, leaving only a cold expression.

?

After returning to the mansion, Xie Xiangyu took Xie Liuhui and her sister to choose fabrics. When she saw Xie Liuzheng, she waved to her to come closer.

?

"The silk competition is very lively. You sisters should come with me to broaden your horizons. These fabrics have just been delivered from the factory. You can each pick two pieces and make some new clothes to wear at the competition."

?

Xie Liuzheng glanced at the pile of clothes on the table with a smile, but did not get angry on the spot. "I have a lot of clothes, and there is a box of clothes that I have never worn. There is no need to make more. I can just make a few more for my two sisters."

?

Xie Xiangyu stroked her hair lovingly, "Of course your sisters' pieces are indispensable, and yours can't be missing either. If you are impatient to choose the fabrics, I will pick two for you, and I guarantee you will be satisfied."

?

Xie Liuzheng agreed to Xie Xiangyu calmly, and then heaved a long sigh after returning to his room.

?

The mother-daughter relationship between her and Xie Xiangyu is naturally irreplaceable, but if you think about it, they don't spend much time together. Xie Xiangyu might not believe the groundless accusation that Xie Liuhui and her sister poisoned her.

?

Let’s just forget about it this time and not bother with the Xie Liuhui sisters, but the traitor around them must be found out and severely punished.

?

Xie Liuzheng asked Qiuyue to secretly observe the maids around her. When Qiuyue heard that there was a traitor around her, she immediately became angry and her eyes widened. She gritted her teeth and cursed: "These black-hearted little hooves, the young lady treats them so well but they are still not satisfied. I will find out who dares to harm the young lady and I will definitely not let her go."

?

Xie Liuzheng patted Qiuyue's shoulder with a smile, "Don't tell anyone what you have found out. I have my own ideas."

?

Qiuyue investigated for two days and found a third-class cleaning maid named Xiaosi. The maid who shared the room with her discovered that she suddenly had a very luxurious red gold bracelet. She took it out secretly in the middle of the night to look at it, which scared the maid who had just gotten up at night.

?

They took Xiao Si to her room and searched it. As expected, they found the bracelet under her pillow. It was very heavy and inlaid with a circle of rubies as big as soybeans.

?

The monthly salary of a third-class maid is not high. Even if she saves for ten years without eating or drinking, she may not be able to afford this bracelet.

?

Qiuyue was so angry that she slapped Xiaosi twice on the spot and took her to see Xie Liuzheng.

?

Xie Liuzheng took the bracelet and took a closer look. He was sure that he had seen it in Xie Xiangyu's warehouse before. Xiao Si had no chance to enter the warehouse. So, the biggest possibility was that Xie Xiangyu gave the bracelet to someone else, and that person gave it to Xiao Si.

?

When Xiao Si saw Xie Liuzheng, his legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground, trembling.

?

Xie Liuzheng looked at her and sighed softly, "Will you tell the truth and get a chance to live, or will you admit the crime of theft and be sold to that dirty place?"

?

Xiao Si raised her tear-stained eyes, glanced at Xie Liuzheng hastily, and lowered her head again, "I want to live. I beg you, Miss, to have mercy on me and not sell me to that kind of place."

?

"Yes, this bracelet was given to me by Miss Fang's maid Mei Luo. She also gave me a packet of medicine and asked me to put it in Miss Fang's food."

?

"I never found the chance, but that morning I met Luo Ye'er at the door delivering breakfast. She is from the same hometown as me. I coaxed her and said that I wanted to show my favor in front of you, so I asked her to let me deliver the breakfast..."

?

Xie Liuzheng had actually already guessed that it was the Xie Liuhui sisters who had tampered with her diet. She was only asking Xiao Si for a confession.

?

After listening to her, he smiled and said, "Since you are still young, I will not punish you, but I dare not keep you by my side any longer. You go home. After three or five years, when you are sensible, I will pick you up again."

?

Xiao Si thought that she would surely die for betraying her master, but she didn't expect that Xie Liuzheng didn't even punish her. She also said that she would give her a chance to serve in the inner courtyard in the future. She was surprised, happy, and ashamed, and kowtowed to Xie Liuzheng repeatedly to express her gratitude.

?

Qiuyue sent the man away and handed him over to his family. She came back to report to Xie Liuzheng and asked in confusion, "Miss, why did you show mercy to someone who betrayed his master?"

?

"Things are not that simple, just wait and see." Xie Liuzheng's eyes flashed slightly as he spoke slowly.

?

Xiao Si was just a low-ranking maid, and she was very young. She usually just did some small chores like cleaning and running errands in the yard, so it was not easy for her to even see Xie Liuzheng.

?

That bracelet was definitely not something that Xie Liufang could easily get, and it was not worth it to invest so much money in Xiao Si.

?

More importantly, Mr. Pei clearly said that what caused her physical discomfort was rotten meat, which has a strong smell and can only be mixed with dumplings and the like.

?

Therefore, the person who actually did it must be in the kitchen.

?

It doesn't matter whether Xiao Si is dead or alive. Xie Liuzheng wants to keep her and lure out the real person behind the scenes.

?

Xie Liuzheng seldom punished maids. Even if a maid made a mistake, he would only scold her and fine her a few taels of silver as a punishment. Suddenly, he drove a little maid out. The servants were all curious about what the maid had done to make Xie Liuzheng, who was usually good-tempered, so angry.

?

Even Xie Xiangyu heard about it and asked a few questions. Xie Liuzheng only said that Xiao Si had stolen something and refused to reveal a single word.

?

Xiao Si himself would not take the initiative to tell anyone that he had betrayed his master, and for a while, everyone was unable to find out the truth.

?

Sometimes the less you can find out, the more curious you become. This is human nature.

?

The servants would hang around Xie Liuzheng's yard whenever they had time, hoping to run into her maid and get some information out of her.

?

Qiuyue was very annoyed and suggested that Xie Liuzheng drive away those troublemakers. However, Xie Liuzheng asked her to wait and see what happened, and secretly asked Fang Cheng to arrange people to monitor Xiaosi.

?

Unexpectedly, after being locked up at home for a few days, Xiao Si suddenly went crazy. One rainy night, he rushed out crying and laughing. When he was found, he had fallen into a well and drowned.

?

Xie Liuzheng was furious, not because Fang Cheng's men were not doing their job well.

?

It was late at night and the rain was heavy. It was pitch dark. The men had done their best to stay outside Xiaosi's house, so it was understandable that an accident happened.

?

What made her angry was that the person behind Xiao Si was so unscrupulous that he dared to kill someone right under her nose.
