Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

"Ye Ziru is a smart girl. She won't leave any evidence easily. I killed the man to silence him. But in this way, her weak spot falls into my hands." Jiaojiao sneered in her heart.

For a moment, everyone had their own thoughts and plans.

The officer looked around and saw no one answered, so he said coldly, "It seems that no one knows this man."

"The autopsy results show that this person was poisoned. There is no doubt that someone poisoned him. Now, I want to search the personal belongings of everyone present. Whoever is found to have poison on him will be the murderer."

"What?"

When everyone heard this, their faces changed drastically. They were daughters of famous families, and how could they tolerate being insulted by having their belongings searched?

"Sir..." Su Yu frowned and walked forward, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this. Please think twice. Everyone here is a well-known lady from a well-known mansion. They would never kill anyone. You might as well investigate those people with ulterior motives."

"I don't know."

The officer nodded, "It's just... this is the order of the Marquis!"

"Is this really what father meant?" Su Yu's eyes widened in surprise.

"That's right! The Marquis has always been honest and upright, and will not allow any stain to tarnish the reputation of our Marquis Mansion. Moreover, all of you present here are noble ladies, and naturally you don't want to be wrongly accused! I will arrange for a few female detectives to come and carefully check everyone's personal belongings, so that everyone can be cleared of all charges!"

The officer spoke sincerely, and when he said this, everyone thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.

A body search is not a big deal.

"Well... okay." Su Yu could only nod and agree. After all, his father had spoken, and there must be a reason for it.

At the side, Ye Yunzi's expression changed suddenly.

They actually want to search me!

She still had the bottle of poison hidden in her sleeve, and more importantly... there was also the account book of the Marquis' Mansion's smuggling. Once it was found out, she would be doomed on the spot.

How can this be good?

Ye Yunzi's heart was pounding. She had never expected to find herself in such a desperate situation. No matter how hard she thought, she could not find a solution.

"Come on, check them one by one..."

People walked into the room one after another and were examined one by one. The progress was very fast and it was Ye Yunzi's turn soon.

She was restless, wondering if there was any way to avoid this? Obviously not... The Marquis's Mansion must have noticed that the account book was missing, so they searched it thoroughly, otherwise why would they go to such great lengths.

She quietly reached into her sleeve to confirm the location of the account book.

"Huh?" Ye Yunzi felt nothing in her sleeves. The account book and the poison bottle were gone!

"Where are my things?"

She was extremely surprised and her eyes widened. Could it have fallen somewhere?

Ye Yunzi looked around secretly. If something fell, there would be a sound, and she couldn't have been unaware of it... Then, could it be that the thing in her sleeve grew wings and flew away?

"Miss, it's your turn." Someone next to her reminded.

Ye Yunzi looked panicked. She had not yet found the whereabouts of the account book and the poison bottle, so she had to get up and follow the female detective to be inspected.

Ye Yunzi didn't notice that Zhilan, the maid who had been following her, had disappeared silently.

……

"What you want!" Zhilan coldly threw the account book to Shen Siyan.

Shen Siyan took the account book, flipped through two pages at random, and after verifying that everything was correct, he nodded slightly, "Not bad."

Zhilan frowned slightly and secretly felt lucky. If she had not taken away the account book and poison quickly, the young lady would probably be in danger now. Just as Shen Siyan said, the Marquis' Mansion would probably launch a body search.

"Master Shen, why... are you helping my young lady?"

Zhilan was full of doubts. The Shen family had been officials for generations and had a deep foundation and great power. Besides, Shen Siyan's mother was the queen's sister. Who would dare to provoke a person with such a background?

Why would such a prominent figure be interested in the little Miss Ye?

Shen Siyan turned his gaze towards Zhilan indifferently, "I'm not helping her..."

He gently shook the account book in his hand and said, "It's better to keep this thing with me than with her. Only then can it play its true value."

Zhilan was silent for a moment, and finally did not ask any more questions. She turned and left, leaping lightly onto the roof and disappearing without a trace. Her lightness skill was so good that no one noticed.

The faint smile on Shen Siyan's lips faded, his expression became serious, and he stared at the account book in his hand with a frown.

……

Ye Yunzi tidied her clothes. There was nothing else on her body except the clothes, so naturally she would not arouse any suspicion.

After a brief inspection, the female detective nodded slightly, "No problem."

Ye Yunzi walked out of the room, and the others also completed the search.

"Miss, are you okay?" Zhilan asked worriedly. Ye Yunzi nodded, unaware of Zhilan's brief absence. "I'm fine."

only……

Her eyes dimmed slightly. The account books and poison she carried with her disappeared inexplicably. This was really bizarre. Who did this?

If it was Ye Ziru or Jiaojiao... No, that's impossible. They wouldn't seek trouble for themselves.

Ye Yunzi's brows knitted slightly, and when she looked up she met Ye Ziru's cold gaze, who was approaching her with big strides.

"Big sister, let's find a quiet place and talk about this." Ye Ziru's words were mysterious and her voice was as cold as ice.

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Ye Yunzi blinked, looking innocent.

"Ye Yunzi!" Ye Ziru clenched her fists tightly. Her patience seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Her voice was trembling. "Did you do it? You killed that man. If I tell anyone about this, your reputation will be ruined!"

Ye Yunzi stared at Ye Ziru quietly, thinking that she was too naive. A single life could make her lose her composure. How could she understand the despair of having her relatives die one after another, her personal maid suffer misfortune and be sold, and even her beloved betraying her and teaming up with outsiders to bully her?

Ye Ziru will never understand that kind of bottomless despair.

Ye Yunzi's eyes were cold, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile, "Sister, don't talk nonsense, this is not a joke. I have never met that man before, how could I harm him? Besides, everyone was searched just now, and I don't have anything on me, how could I poison him?"

"There are some grievances between us, and I know you don't like me. You can just do those things of tripping me up and throwing dirty water at me in the Lin Mansion. There's no need to make fun of me outside."

Ye Yunzi spoke in a light tone with a faint smile, but every word she said was like a sharp poisonous thorn, piercing Ye Ziru's heart.

Ye Ziru's face turned red and white, and her fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound. "You..."

On the other side, behind the wooden door, Jiaojiao hid herself and eavesdropped. As the conversation deepened, her eyes were full of disbelief.

What is this about? Isn't it Ye Zixia's hand, but Ye Yunzi's?

Jiaojiao's eyes widened, her hands unconsciously covered her mouth, her face full of shock.
