C3 Murderer(1)

Xia Yuyan was deep in thought as she sat in front of the copper mirror.

"Miss, it's time to rest."

Ever since Yun Qing died, Yun Xiang had come to serve Xia Yuyan.

"Miss!"

When Xia Yuyan didn't respond, Yun Xiang walked over to her side.

"Miss, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Nothing." Xia Yuyan shook her head.

Suddenly, she raised her head to look at Yun Xiang and said, "Aunt Yun, I have something to ask you."

Yun Xiang looked at Xia Yuyan's serious face for a moment before regaining her composure. She replied, "I wonder what Miss wishes to ask?"

"Aunt Yun, do you know why my mother died?"

Yunxiang didn't seem surprised by her question. She replied, "Miss, ever since Madame got sick three months ago, quite a few doctors have come to visit her. I just don't know why."

"Is that so?" Xia Yuyan was clearly in disbelief.

After Yun Xiang heard this, her body trembled unknowingly. She opened her mouth and asked, "Miss, did you discover something?"

"Does Aunt Yun remember the oleander that was sent over three months ago?"

Hearing the words' oleander ', Yun Xiang became even more flustered.

"Why did Miss mention it so well?"

"Nothing, just yesterday, when I was tidying up my mother's clothes, I smelt the scent of oleander. I also remembered a book that once said that the stem and leaves of a oleander was poisonous, so that's why I asked you this question. " Xia Yuyan said casually.

"Miss, are you suspecting that someone poisoned Madam with oleander?"

"Maybe. At the moment, I'm only guessing. I can't be sure."

"Then what does Eldest Miss plan to do?"

"I will definitely continue to investigate this matter. Tomorrow, I'll have Zixi check which girl has the oleander. It shouldn't be hard to investigate in such a short period of time."

Yun Xiang's heart skipped a beat at these words, but she maintained her composure on the surface.

"Eldest Miss, if there's nothing else, this servant will be leaving first."

"Yes." Xia Yuyan nodded.

As she watched Yun Xiang walk out of the room, Xia Yuyan called for Zi Xi.

"What orders do you have, Eldest Miss?"

"Keep an eye on Aunt Yun."

"Yes."

As soon as Yun Xiang returned to her room, she took out a bag of medicinal powder from under her pillow. She never thought that a six year old young miss would be so smart.

Late at night, the Prime Minister's Estate was in complete silence.

Yun Xiang tiptoed out of the room and walked under the oleander tree in the courtyard. She dug a small hole under the tree and opened the medicine bag. Just as she was about to pour the medicinal powder inside, she suddenly felt a slight chill behind her back.

She turned her head slightly and saw a shining sword pointed at her. She was shocked and the medicine bag in her hand fell to the ground.

"Eldest Miss, he has been brought over." Zi Xi brought Yun Xiang in front of Xia Yuyan.

"Where are the items?"

Xia Yuyan was not surprised by the turn of events as she asked indifferently.

Zi Xi walked forward and handed the medicine pack to Xia Yuyan.

Xia Yuyan opened the medicine bag and sniffed it. She was sure it was a oleander.

"Aunt Yun, what else do you have to say?"

"This servant has nothing to say, everything will be decided by Eldest Miss." Seeing that the situation had developed to this point, Yun Xiang was no longer afraid.
