Everyone present had seen Wei Xueying's death.
Therefore, the inner fear of the red-backed tarantula cannot be eliminated for a while.
At this time, I heard that so many red-backed tarantulas in front of me were alive, which made my hair stand on end.
Li Qingyi explained: "Yes, the red-backed wolf spider lives in extremely cold places. If the temperature is too high, it will automatically enter a dormant state, just like death. Even if you carry it with you, you don't have to worry about the red-backed wolf spider. Will wake up."
Xiao Huan seemed to be unable to believe that the person he interacted with the most every day could actually hide something so terrifying.
She puzzled and said: "But Xiaotao and I are always waiting for the fourth girl. I didn't see her feeding the fourth girl anything strange..."
"Heh... I'll give you something strange, will you eat it?"
Li Qingyi curled his lips and looked at Xiao Tao, and said: "Xiao Tao must have hidden the red-backed tarantula in ordinary food for sister Xueying to eat. And it is relatively refreshing food, so you must still have an impression."
"Yes...because the weather is too hot, the fourth girl likes cold food, so she often asks the kitchen to make iced porridge..."
Xiaohuan carefully recalled yesterday's situation, turned to Xiaotao, and said in shock: "Yesterday, before the fourth girl went to Zhuoxiangyuan, she just had a bowl of iced porridge..."
Li Qingyi took a tea cup, cut off a small piece of red wax and put it in, and said, "Xiao Tao is indeed very clever in using these candles to hide the red-backed tarantula. Even if she is suddenly exposed to a cold environment, there is no need to worry about the red-backed tarantula." The tarantula wakes up and causes harm to herself.”
She raised her head and ordered Xiaohuan: "Go get some ice."
Xiaohuan agreed and quickly went to get ice.
In front of everyone, Li Qingyi lit a fire and melted the wax in the tea cup. With the tip of the knife, he picked out a red-backed tarantula and put it into another tea cup. Everyone else subconsciously took a few steps back, as if the spider would suddenly come to life and jump up to attack people.
Princess Xue Yuanheng asked: "Qingyi, is there any danger in this..."
Li Qingyi shook his head: "Don't worry, mother."
Xiao Huan quickly brought the ice. Li Qingyi used a bone knife to scrape off some crushed ice and put it into the tea cup. He said: "The red-backed tarantula put in ice cubes will not wake up so quickly. It takes about a cup of tea." time. After waking up, red-backed wolf spiders will not go back to sleep immediately even in a warm environment. They will rejuvenate within a period of time. This requires the controller to be very familiar with the habits of red-backed wolf spiders. .”
Everyone was silent, staring closely at the tea cup, especially Aunt Jiang.
Time passed by bit by bit, and the third lady was suddenly frightened and whispered: "It's moving..."
I saw the red-backed tarantula, which had escaped the confinement of the red wax, gradually unfolding its stiff limbs in the melting ice water, but it did not start moving immediately.
Li Qingyi said: "The crushed ice put in the ice porridge is at least as big as a soybean grain. It is more than enough to freeze such a small red-backed wolf spider. Moreover, this thing is completely transparent, with only a little bit of red on its back, mixed with colorful You can’t even see it in the ice porridge.”
Xiaohuan hesitated and said, "But when you eat, you will inevitably have to bite the ice into pieces..."
Li Qingyi turned to look at her and said: "So, how many red-backed wolf spiders were frozen by the broken ice in Xiao Tao's bowl of ice porridge? One or two? Or three or five, or maybe a dozen. There is always one that is swallowed whole.”
Everyone in the room couldn't help but cover their mouths when they heard this, and they all looked uncomfortable.
Princess Yuanheng rushed out of the door on the spot and vomited in the yard.
This was the first time for everyone to see her so out of sorts.
Li Qingyi continued: "After the red-backed wolf spider is swallowed into the stomach, it will slowly wake up like now, until it regains its vitality, and then kills the person. I think everyone knows how long this process takes. As for why Xiao Tao did this... then you have to ask herself."
The time from when Wei Xueying ate iced porridge yesterday to when she was poisoned in Zhuoxiangyuan was naturally the time it took for the red-backed wolf spider to fully wake up.
It is precisely because of this that toxins will spread out from the abdomen.
Aunt Jiang felt chills all over her body. Her eyes were fixed on the resurrected red-backed tarantula, and she almost bit her lip until it bled!
She felt horrified to think that something so terrible had ever been in her daughter's mouth!
"Xiao Tao! Who ordered you!"
A maidservant who has been serving Wei Xueying for at least three or four years.
If he suddenly did something like this, he was either temporarily bribed by someone, or someone deliberately placed him in the Wei mansion to lurk.
Everyone knows that the second type is the scariest. A small peach was found here. Are there other "small peaches" elsewhere?
Xiaotao heard the question and hugged herself tightly, fear eroding her body bit by bit.
She thought that what she did was very clean and there was no reason for her to be discovered, but she didn't expect that everything she did and carefully arranged would be easily seen through by Li Qingyi!
Mrs. Wei, who had been silent all this time, stood up from her chair and said, "If you don't say anything now, she will tell you when she does. Someone will come! Take her away!"
After Xiao Tao was found, everyone understood that someone was indeed behind this.
So what is the other party's purpose?
Are you trying to target Li Qingyi?
Or is it to drive a wedge between Li Qingyi and the Wei family? Then drive her out of the Wei family, or even kill her directly?
No one is stupid. The more they think about it, the more terrible it becomes.
Xiao Tao was taken away, and with the Wei family's methods, everyone understood what she would face.
Mrs. Wei said to Li Qingyi: "Qingyi, I have wronged you this time."
"Mrs. Wei, if you tell me, the Wei family is willing to give Qingyi a chance to prove his innocence, so he is extremely gracious. How could Qingyi be wronged?"
"Okay, good boy, I saw you right."
Mrs. Wei pulled Li Qingyi over and looked even more amiable.
Everyone immediately agreed, saying that Li Qingyi was smart and so on.
Aunt Jiang stood stiffly on the spot, her mind blank.
So what if we find out the truth? If it weren't for Li Qingyi, others might not attack Wei Xueying!
Her eyes passed through the crowd and stared hard at Li Qingyi's back.
Li Qingyi felt something, but did not look back.
Some grudges, although forced, cannot be eliminated at all.
Not everything in this world can be justified.
Whether you are angry or displeased, once it has happened, it is not easy to change.
Everyone followed Mrs. Wei out to the courtyard. Thick black clouds had gathered in the sky at some point, making it a little hotter and a little gloomier.
Wei Xueying was lying in the coffin, having put on new clothes.
Huge ice cubes were placed around the body to prevent the body from rotting.
Her originally pretty face was now covered in bruises, and her expression was distorted and ferocious due to the pain of dying, making it almost impossible to recognize her original appearance.
The old lady sighed and said: "Although the culprit has not been found yet, the truth about the death of the fourth girl has been revealed. We should immediately send her to the temple to save the dead souls and bury them according to the rules."
Aunt Jiang finally recognized the reality and did not dare to pester her anymore, but the hatred and unwillingness in her eyes did not diminish at all.
Li Qingyi looked at Aunt Jiang, secretly wary.
I'm afraid this woman won't give up easily.
But as long as the other party doesn't come to trouble her, she doesn't bother to care what the other party wants to do.
Back at Zhuoxiang Courtyard, as soon as Li Qingyi entered the house, Nong Shao came over with a group of little girls. He held a lot of things in his hands and said, "My slave, I want to pay my respects to Miss Li. This is what the old lady asked me to give you." Sent."
This was to compensate her for fear that she would be wronged.
Li Qingyi thanked him with a smile, and Heng Wu stuffed a purse into Nong Shao's hand. Nong Shao actually didn't refuse, and the smiling men left.
Three days passed by in a flash, and Wei Xueying's funeral affairs had come to an end.
But everyone didn't know whether the old lady had found anything out from Xiao Tao's interrogation, but they just felt that the atmosphere in the house had been very depressing these days.
Li Qingyi stayed quietly in his Zhuoxiang Courtyard and did not go out easily.
On the other hand, everyone else took the initiative to come and talk to her, because Li Qingyi's second uncle Li Yong was appointed Prince's Young Master and had already taken office.
Let's look at the emperor's intention. This prince's young master does not just have an empty title, but he really wants Li Yong to teach the prince.
How could Li Yong be so virtuous as to teach the prince?
Never heard of it, okay?
