Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Chapter 212 Check 1 the truth

The next morning, the sun shone through the window into the room, and Li Ziyan woke up slowly. He habitually reached out to touch the side, but touched nothing. Startled, Li Ziyan sat up suddenly, looked around, and sure enough, there was no sign of Zhao Junning.

"Jun Ning!" He shouted anxiously, his voice echoing in the empty house. Without time to put on his shoes, Li Ziyan hurried out of the house barefoot and saw the familiar figure at a glance. Zhao Jun Ning was sitting on a chair in the outer room, drinking tea leisurely.

Seeing Li Ziyan's embarrassed look, Zhao Junning couldn't help but laugh. That smile was as bright as a blooming spring flower, so beautiful that it made people intoxicated. At this moment, Zhao Junning seemed to be shrouded in a layer of soft light, looking particularly charming and moving.

"Why are you wearing so little?" Li Ziyan frowned and asked with concern.

Zhao Junning smiled gently and explained, "I felt a little hot when I was sleeping, so I came out to get some fresh air."

Li Ziyan nodded, walked to sit next to Zhao Junning, but his eyes never left her. Zhao Junning felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, and smiled and scolded: "Why are you always staring at me?"

Li Ziyan was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, his face flushed, and he stammered, "You...you look really good today." After that, as if to hide his embarrassment, he quickly shook his head vigorously and changed the subject, asking, "How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Zhao Junning smiled and shook her head, indicating that everything was fine. She reached out her hand and gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, saying with emotion: "You have worked so hard over the past month. But from now on, I am no longer alone. I have to think about our child and can no longer act as willfully as before." Her eyes were full of maternal radiance and expectations for the future.

Li Ziyan's lips slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. Just last month, he hurriedly returned from the palace because of Shen Congwen's matter. That night, he and Jun Ning were passionate and their emotions surged like a tide.

After breakfast, Zhao Junning repeatedly assured Li Ziyan: "Don't worry, I'm really fine. I will definitely not go to the shop today. I will rest at home." Hearing this, Li Ziyan hesitated and went to the court to attend the court.

Yuan Xinghui arrived at the Li residence and immediately saw Zhao Junning sitting in the courtyard. She quickly stepped forward, and Zhao Junning saw her and quickly called out, "Xinghui, you're here, come and sit down."

"Jun Ning, I..." Yuan Xinghui hesitated to speak.

Zhao Junning took the initiative to speak: "I am not angry with you. The deceased is buried in the ground. It is not wise for me to continue to immerse myself in grief and numb myself. I must find out the real culprit!"

Yuan Xinghui looked worried and responded, "But my aunt has already been buried, and we have nowhere to look for it now."

Zhao Junning frowned and said, "I found high-purity cinnabar powder on my mother's coat, and the concentration was very high. At that time, my mother had a sudden heart disease. In fact, she had been taking heart-tonifying pills, which only contained a small amount of cinnabar. However, cinnabar is very toxic. If used in excessive amounts, it can be fatal.

Such a large amount of cinnabar would be hard to detect without careful inspection. As time goes by, the traces of cinnabar will gradually appear. Maybe that person was just betting that Wen Yuanzheng was in a hurry to treat my mother that day and didn't have time to check my mother's coat. "

Yuan Xinghui was very confused after hearing this: "But who can get close to my aunt's body?"

Zhao Junning answered affirmatively: "It must be those people who have a close relationship with my mother."

Yuan Xinghui thought and recalled: "My aunt was indeed busy in the rouge shop that day, and she received more than 20 customers. Later, I went there and asked my aunt to go home and rest. If there was a chance to contact my aunt, then the most suspicious ones should be these people that day. After all, my aunt suddenly had a heart attack that night when she returned home..."

After hearing this, Zhao Junning fell into deep thought. After a while, he spoke: "When my mother received the guests that day, did she write down the guests' information?" His voice was filled with a hint of anxiety and expectation.

Yuan Xinghui nodded and answered affirmatively: "Yes, my aunt is very careful. She recorded the information of every visitor in detail."

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Junning was delighted and immediately stood up from the bed, saying firmly: "If that's the case, then we will check the information of these guests one by one! We must find out the truth!"

However, Yuan Xinghui couldn't help but feel a little worried when she saw Zhao Junning's slightly weak body after she just woke up, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your body has not fully recovered yet, so you should not overwork. Why don't I accompany you to check it out tomorrow when you are in better spirits. This will be more efficient." Her eyes were full of concern.
