The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2002: Cleared of Suspicion (6)

"Then what?" Although Yang Ruxin felt her strength was about to reach its limit, she still kept going. This was a critical mont, and she had to make Xiaojuan tell the truth.

"Then the young lady scolded Xiaosang a couple of tis and lay down. I went over to check her, and there was nothing wrong, so I rested outside too. I don’t know how long I slept, but I suddenly heard the young lady move around a bit. When I got up to check, I discovered that the young lady had already..." Xiaojuan couldn’t help but shiver.

"Who poured the tea? Who made the bed?"

"It should have been , but that day the young lady was in a bad mood, so she kept..." Xiaojuan glanced at Yang Ruxin and didn’t dare to finish her sentence.

"Kept scolding , right?"

Xiaojuan nodded. "The young lady even asked to make a little figure to stab with needles..."

Those around them gasped in shock.

"Impossible..." The Lady of Anning County couldn’t hold back. "You foul maid, I..."

"The little figure is under the young lady’s mattress..." Xiaojuan hurriedly crawled on the ground.

"Who made the bed?"

"It was Xiaosang..."

"Lord, quickly send soone to find Xiaosang." Yang Ruxin’s expression changed, and she shouted loudly.

Congxin promptly hurried off with a group of people.

But then Xiaojuan suddenly went rigid, black blood quickly oozed from her mouth, and she collapsed to the ground, dead on the spot.

Yang Ruxin reached out to check Xiaojuan’s pulse and then sighed, "She was given arsenic an hour ago by soone else..." The dose was managed well, allowing her to last this long.

As she stood up, she wobbled slightly.

Gu Qingheng hurriedly stepped forward to catch her in his arms.

"How did you know there was sothing wrong with her?" Lord Jiang wouldn’t miss the opportunity to ask.

"Because Wang Zhengzheng’s body was full of poison, even under her toenails," Yang Ruxin leaned against Gu Qingheng’s chest, closing her eyes briefly. "This didn’t make sense. Generally, when soone ingests a lethal poison, it acts instantly and... The person dies, their blood flow slows and stops, making it impossible for the toxin to be distributed to every corner of the body unless... unless it was already in the body before death and circulated with the blood."

"Before death?" Gu Qingheng’s eyes widened, "You an the body contains sothing?"

"Master Gu, you are right," Yang Ruxin nodded. "There is sothing about this long, similar to an embroidery needle, in Wang Zhengzheng’s skull, sowhere in the bone seam. Either it’ll need to be extracted through dissection, or brought out with a magnet." How to proceed is up to the officials, and magnets shouldn’t be too hard to obtain in this era.

In the end, they tried a magnet, but the item was small and stuck in the bone seam, impossible to extract. With Wang Jingze’s consent, Hen Bingwen cut open the back of Wang Zhengzheng’s skull and indeed retrieved a blood-stained, hair-thin needle.

"Lord, there is nothing wrong with my dicine pill," Yang Ruxin was barely able to keep her eyes open.

Everyone else understood finally, that even though the murderer hadn’t been caught, Yang Ruxin’s suspected involvent had been completely cleared.

By this ti, Congxin returned with others, having brought Xiaosang over, but unfortunately, she was already a corpse. When they arrived, Xiaosang had hanged herself in the room.

Under Wang Zhengzheng’s mattress, they also indeed found a small figure pierced with embroidery needles, with "Madam Ruyi" written on its front and "Yang Ruxin" on its back.
