"It's not her."
"So, do you believe her?"
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, turned to look at his little sister and nodded silently.
"Yeah, I believe it."
Liu Xuan frowned slightly: "Brother, have you never suspected that she was lying to you?"
“At first, I was naturally a little skeptical, but then I gradually became convinced.
Later, due to some reasons, I completely believed it."
Liu Xuan asked with curious eyes: "Oh, brother, can you tell me the reason?
If it is convenient, my little sister is willing to hear the details.
If it is inconvenient, brother, just pretend that my sister has never asked this question."
"Hehehe, silly girl, there is nothing inconvenient to say."
"Then, my little sister is all ears."
"The reason why Brother Wei completely believes in her is because of the poison."
"Ah? Poison?"
"That's right, poison."
"Is Miao Jiang poisonous?"
"Yes, it's Miaojiang poison."
Liu Xuan looked back at the direction of the garden again, her eyebrows furrowed and she thought for a moment.
"Brother, does Sister-in-law Qingrui's answer have anything to do with Miao Jiang's poison?"
Young Master Liu smiled lightly and moved his neck a few times, then reached out and handed the lantern to Liu Xuan.
"Little sister, come and lift the lantern, brother, I will stretch my neck."
"Hey, okay, okay."
Liu Xuan nodded and immediately put the lantern into her jade hand.
Liu Mingzhi covered his neck with both hands and twisted it several times.
"The so-called Demon Queen Ren Qingrui poisoned the child Li Ye, which shows that she is familiar with the Miao poisoning technique."
Hearing this, Liu Xuan nodded gently: "Yes, yes, my little sister knows about this.
so what?"
"As for this Qingrui girl in our family, although she was born in Shu and grew up in Shu, she doesn't understand the poisonous techniques of Miao territory at all."
After hearing her elder brother's explanation, Liu Xuan nodded in realization.
"Oh I got it.
Because Sister-in-law Qingrui doesn’t know Miao Jiang’s poison..."
Before Liu Xuan could say anything, Young Master Liu spoke directly and interrupted her.
"Of course that's not the case. Qingrui girl knows the art of poison."
Liu Xuan subconsciously replied: "Oh, it turns out that Sister-in-law Qingrui also knows about poison..."
However, as she was talking, she suddenly looked stunned.
"Ah? What? Brother, what did you say?"
"Brother Wei said that girl Qingrui knows how to poison."
Liu Xuan looked at Young Master Liu in confusion, her pretty lips twitching involuntarily.
"Brother, did you make a mistake?
Just now you clearly told your little sister yourself that although Sister-in-law Qingrui grew up in Shu, she does not understand the poisonous techniques of Miaojiang at all.
Now you tell me that Sister-in-law Qingrui knows how to poison.
My good brother, don’t you think the words you said before and after are very contradictory?”
Young Master Liu glanced at Liu Xuan's troubled expression, smiled lightly and said loudly: "Smelly girl, there is a reason why I say this for my brother."
"what reason?"
"Little sister, you should still remember that last year, your sister-in-law Qinglian's mother went to Hexi, so our family rushed to the Miao border together, right?"
"Of course I remember."
"After my brother accompanied your sister-in-law Qinglian to lay her mother to rest, you met Qingrui on the way back to Beijing. You should also know, right?"
"I know, not only did you tell my little sister about this matter, brother, but also when my little sister met Qingrui's sister-in-law in a foreign country, she also told her about what happened between you.
Brother, don't forget that the bag of rouge rice that sister-in-law Qingrui specially prepared for you was brought back to you by your little sister.
But, brother, what does this have to do with the fact that you first said that Sister-in-law Qingrui didn’t understand Miao Jiang’s poisonous techniques at all, and then later said that she knew the poisonous techniques?”
Liu Mingzhi gently twirled the jade ring on his thumb and said with a faint smile: "At that time, as a brother, I met your sister-in-law Qingrui again by chance on the official road outside Chengzhou City.
Brother, after I left the city gate, I had just started to gallop around and whip my whip when I happened to meet your sister-in-law Qingrui, carrying a bamboo basket on her back, and was about to rush to the city to sell the herbs she had personally picked from the mountains."
"Uh-huh, what next?"
"Even ordinary friends are overjoyed to meet again.
Not to mention the relationship between me, eldest brother, and your sister-in-law, Qingrui.
After we exchanged pleasantries, Brother Wei accompanied your sister-in-law Qingrui to the small courtyard where she lives outside the city.
Although the small courtyard where she lived was not considered to be in the deep mountains and old forests, it was still very remote.
So, as a brother, I asked her out of curiosity, is she, a helpless little girl, not afraid of any dangers if she lives alone in a place like this?"
"Brother, how did Sister-in-law Qingrui answer you?"
Liu Mingzhi turned sideways slightly, turned his head towards the garden and pursed his lips.
"But, your sister-in-law Qingrui took out a flute for controlling Gu insects and let me take a look.
Then, she told her brother that when she was in the capital, she had learned a superficial poison technique from your sister-in-law Qinglian for self-defense.
Later, as a brother, I accompanied your sister-in-law Qingrui to stay in the courtyard where she lived for a few days. After we said goodbye on the official road, I set off back to Beijing."
Liu Xuan nodded with a slightly raised brow, vaguely seeming to have guessed something.
"So, you later went to Sister-in-law Qinglian for confirmation?"
Young Master Liu nodded without hesitation and said softly: "Yes, as a brother, as soon as I returned home, I went to your sister-in-law Qinglian and asked her to confirm this matter.
Your sister-in-law Qinglian told me that Qingrui girl did learn her poisoning skills from her."
"As expected."
"Although your sister-in-law, Qinglian, is originally from Qingzhou Prefecture, due to the disaster, your sister-in-law, Qinglian, grew up in the Shiwan Mountains of Miao territory.
She grew up in the Shiwan Mountains and learned the exquisite poison poisoning technique from her mother since she was a child.
Therefore, I don’t need to explain to you how profound her poison skills are, big brother."
"Yeah, yeah, my little sister has seen it before."
"After your sister-in-law Qinglian found out why I asked her about this matter, she immediately guessed what I was thinking.
At that time, she told her brother with a smile that she was absolutely sure that Qingrui girl didn't know any poison techniques at all when she learned them from her.
So, as a brother, I put all the things together and thought about it carefully.
Finally, your brother and I came to a conclusion.
This person is Qing Rui, not the other person."
As soon as Mr. Liu finished speaking, he pointed to the wine cellar next to the warehouse in front with a faint smile.
"Little sister, we are here."
Liu Xuan glanced at the wine cellar in front of her, smiled and nodded.
