Little Yun raised her head and looked at Nanhai in confusion, "May I ask sire, why is this commoner guilty? So what if Cai Die was poisoned by the poison before Liang Yuqi entered the building? Who can prove that I was the one who poisoned Cai Die? Master, do not falsely accuse innocent people! " Xiao Yun sounded weak, but her words were laced with a cold question.

Nanhai coldly looked at Little Yun, he didn't expect that a mere maid would dare to openly question him in the court!

Sihan stood at the side and looked at Xiao Yun's calm expression, the corners of her mouth involuntarily raised, she coldly looked at Xiao Yun and asked, "In the entire Blossom Heart Pavilion, other than you, who else has the chance to get close to Cai Die? Other than you and Cai Die who have a deep grudge, who would harm Cai Die! "

Xiao Yun raised her head in shock and looked at Sihan. Her eyes were filled with surprise, but she quickly regained her calm. She calmly looked at Sihan and asked, "I have no enmity with Caidie, so how could I poison her? Moreover the one who died from the rainbow butterfly's poison was a man, not me. "

Sihan snorted coldly and turned her head to look at the Southern Sea. She said respectfully, "Sir, this commoner has something that I'd like to ask sire to take a look at."

"Present." Southern Ocean instructed the constables standing to his right.

With both of her hands, Zhining carried the tray to the table in the Southern Sea, respectfully placing it on the table.

Everyone looked at a beautiful porcelain jar on top of a tray on Nanhai's table in confusion.

Little Yun also raised her head to look at the porcelain vases on the table. When she saw them, her expression was calm, without the slightest hint of change.

When Sihan saw Little Yun's reaction, she was slightly surprised. She turned her head to look at Bing'er, who was standing outside the Discipline Hall. Bing'er was equally shocked by Little Yun's reaction.

Sihan turned her head and met ZhiNing's gaze.

"Chen Zhi, what's on this tray?" Nanhai looked at the porcelain altar on the tray as he asked Zhining.

ZhiNing took a step forward, cupped her fists, and respectfully replied to Nanhai, "Sir, this altar was found by your subordinate in the room of the butterfly. After confirmation, this altar contains the ashes of a woman."

As soon as Zhining finished her sentence, a large commotion broke out outside the Discipline Hall. They all looked at the altar in front of the patron, shocked. Who would have thought that the altar on the table would actually contain ashes?

Only, Xiao Yun's expression was still as calm as ever, as if the altar on the table had nothing to do with her.

Sihan sighed slightly. Little Yun's calmness could be said to be unparalleled!

Nanhai lightly glanced at the jar, "Whose ashes are in this jar? What does it have to do with the case? "

"Master, this urn contains Shang Ling'er's ashes. Three years ago, Shang Ling'er was forced to enter the Clear Heart Pavilion because her family had fallen from grace in order to survive. I don't know why Shang Ling'er suddenly fell down and died. " ZhiNing respectfully reported to the Southern Ocean. She then glanced at the kneeling Little Yun, "But Shang Ling'er's death has a lot to do with Cai Die's death."

"South Sea glanced at Zhining, then told the constable who was standing in front of the door to hurry up." "I heard that Aunt Mei, the old procuress of the Clear Heart Pavilion, is in the main hall." To find out how Shang Ling'er died, only Aunt Mei and a few other people who were present at the scene were able to.

"Auntie ChenMei, please." The constable who was standing at the entrance of the Discipline Hall shouted loudly towards him.

The bystanders made way for Aunt Mei.

Southern Ocean's gaze followed the direction of the main hall's entrance, when he saw Long Ao Tian standing amongst the commoners, a look of surprise flashed past his face. He wanted to stand up from his chair, but was stopped by Long Ao Tian's gaze. South Sea had to sit in a chair.

Long Ao Tian withdrew his gaze, looking at Aunt Mei who was slowly walking into the Discipline Hall in the blink of an eye.

"Aunt Mei, I ask you, how did Shang Ling'er die?"

Aunt Mei was so scared that she trembled. She replied in a shaky voice, "Yes, yes. Milord, this commoner really doesn't know how Shang Ling'er died. When this commoner heard the report and rushed to Shang Ling'er's room, Shang Ling'er had already committed suicide by jumping off a building. This commoner only saw Shang Ling'er's corpse. "

"When you entered Shang Ling'er's room, who was there?" Southern Ocean asked Aunt Mei in a cold voice.

Aunt Mei lowered her head to think for a moment, then raised her head to look at the Southern Sea, and respectfully replied, "Reporting to Sir, when this commoner entered the room, I saw Cai Die, Peony and Pomegranate, as well as Peony's personal maidservant Hong Chen standing in the room crying sorrowfully. They were all good friends of Shang Ling'Er when she was still alive."

"With peonies and pomegranates." Hai Yang looked outside the Discipline Hall and coldly ordered.

"Yes, milord." The constable respectfully received the order from the entrance of the torture chamber. "Pass on the peony and pomegranate."

Pomegranate and Peony walked over to Aunt Mei and respectfully kneeled on the ground. "Pheasant Pomegranate (Peony) greets the Lord."

Nanhai stared coldly at Peony and Pomegranate before asking, "Pomegranate, when you were in Shang Ling'er's room that day, did you see how Shang Ling'er jumped down the stairs?"

The pomegranate lowered its head and replied respectfully, "Sir, this commoner's room is very close to Shang Ling'er's room. That day, this commoner only heard a scream from Cai Die and ran anxiously to Shang Ling'er's room. When this commoner's girl rushed to Shang Ling'er's room, Shang Ling'er had already jumped off a building and died. "I only got to Shang Ling'er's room earlier than Aunt Mei."

"What did you hear about Cai Die?" Nanhai asked, looking at the pomegranate.

"This commoner heard Cai Die's loud shout, Shang Ling'er jumped off the building and committed suicide! When this commoner heard Cai Die's call and rushed over to Ling'er's for the holidays, he discovered that Cai Die was staring at the window in panic. The commoner trembled as he walked to the window and looked down. He only saw Shang Ling'er lying on the ground, covered in blood. Cai Die was so scared that she fell to the ground. " The pomegranate respectfully replied to the southern seas.

"What did you see when you arrived at Shang Ling'er's room, Peony?"

"My lord, Peony was asleep, and fast asleep. My personal maid, Hong Chen, suddenly broke into the room and told me that Ling'er had committed suicide by jumping off a building. When the commoner heard this, he was very surprised. He quickly got up and ran to Ling'er's room. I clearly remember that Cai Die had collapsed on the ground while the pomegranate was standing on the windowsill with a pale face. Not long after I arrived, Aunt Mei arrived at Ling'er's room. This commoner didn't see how Shang Ling'er died. " Peony respectfully reported to the Southern Ocean.

Nanhai's gaze swept back and forth between the peony and pomegranate, then she slowly withdrew her gaze. "In other words, the day that Shang Ling'er died, you all arrived later. None of you saw her jump off the windowsill, right?"

Aunt Mei, Peony and Pomegranate looked at each other and nodded at the Southern Ocean simultaneously. None of them saw Shang Ling'er jump out of the window with their own eyes.

Nanhai's sharp gaze swept over the three of them, and then he coldly said, "Propagation of the mortal world to the upper echelons."
