778 Poisonous Discovery
“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll go wash up now.”
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. “Lord Ning Caichen, your face is really outstanding.”
“Ahhh, if only I had half of your looks.”
Madam Zhenguo could not help but praise Jiang Ming. “That’s true. If I had a daughter, I would definitely give her to you in marriage.”
“You’re too kind!”
Jiang Ming said modestly.
Liu’er Yuanyuan snorted coldly. “I don’t think so. Let’s go to the tea party quickly.”
When she arrived at the tea party, Liu’er Yuanyuan put on a gentle expression.
Jiang Ming shook his head secretly.
Liu’er Yuanyuan was really hypocritical.
Madam Zhenguo was attending to Liu’er 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 Ming’s 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. “We have these back home too. If you like them, I’ll get someone to bring you more.”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ming sneered. “These pastries are poisoned. They can’t be eaten at all.”
Jiang Ming’s words were neither loud nor soft, so everyone present heard them.
“Lord Ning Caichen, is there a misunderstanding?”
The host of the tea party, Liu’er Yuanyuan, walked over gently. She clearly had something to say to him.
“Mind your own business,” she said quietly to him.
Seeing Liu’er Yuanyuan like this, Jiang Ming did not hide anything. “No, we can test it with my silver needles.”
Upon hearing this, Liu’er Yuanyuan’s face turned pale. In the end, she laughed again. “Let’s try.”
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.
“What do you have to say now, Lord Ning Caichen? Don’t slander people without evidence!”
Liu’er Yuanyuan adjusted her blouse with an indifferent expression.
The rest of the people were speechless. “Lord Ning Caichen, can you not ruin the atmosphere of the tea party?”
“That’s right. You’ve been ruining the atmosphere of the tea party! You’ve made people so upset that they can’t enjoy the tea party. You’re the worst!”
“I knew it. How could Mrs. Liu’er harm us? This is not funny.”
Jiang Ming laughed. “Really? I remember that I saw the rules of your tea party just now. You’re not allowed to bring your own silverware. It seems that you’re afraid that children will be injured by accident.”
Liu’er Yuanyuan said indifferently, “That’s true. What else do you want to say? Tell us.”
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 Liu’er Yuanyuan was, Jiang Ming took out a silver needle unhurriedly and inserted it into a pastry. The silver needle immediately turned black.
Liu’er Yuanyuan’s 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.
“Ah!”
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 Liu’er Yuanyuan wanted to harm them.
“It 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?” contemporary romance
Liu’er 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.
“What’s going on?”
Madam Zhenguo was dumbfounded. She personally went up and tried inserting a silver needle into the pastry. Still, nothing happened.
“Is there some misunderstanding here?”
She looked at Jiang Ming and Liu’er Yuanyuan and asked.
“Some poisons cannot be tested, so it is useless even if you try.”
Jiang Ming was calm as he complained in his heart.
This Liu’er Yuanyuan was really a shrewd old woman!
Thinking of this, he clapped his hands. “I think we should call a doctor over.”
“Go and call the doctor.”
Liu’er 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 Liu’er Yuanyuan’s glance at all, but Jiang Ming understood.
“In my opinion, why don’t we let Madam Zhenguo’s people go and find a doctor?” Jiang Ming said as if he did not trust Liu’er Yuanyuan.
Liu’er Yuanyuan was furious. “Why don’t you trust me? What right do you have to accuse me of all these things?”
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, Liu’er looked at the servant and said, “You don’t have to listen to Ning Caichen. Go and get the doctor.”
“If 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.”
Jiang Ming did not waste time talking nonsense with Liu’er Yuanyuan and immediately gave everyone a concise analysis.
His words received the approval of all the young guests.
However, Liu’er Yuanyuan’s family was powerful, and they could not afford to offend them.
Moreover, this was a chance to curry favor with Liu’er Yuanyuan!
Thinking of this, a young man called Wang Xilan spoke up for Liu’er Yuanyuan. “Why would Madam Liu’er Yuanyuan harm us? It won’t benefit her at all.”
