"Tell me exactly how you tried to kill Ninth Sister, and I'll give you a chance to escape with your life."
At the mention of a chance, Murong Qingyi immediately opened her mouth, but her throat seemed to have been injured earlier.
Qian Wanyu said bluntly, "Li Jing, give her a healing pill."
"Yes, Young Tower Mistress."
Murong Qingyi guessed that Qian Wanyu had singled her out because of the time she had followed Dongfang Minghui to the lakeside and been struck by her concealed weapon. After probing her repeatedly, Qian Wanyu had become certain she was the culprit.
"I saw her staring into space, and there was no one around, so I crept up behind her and held her under the water. While she was struggling, she fired a concealed weapon at me. Then, then someone came, so I left."
Qian Wanyu watched her silently, staring until Murong Qingyi's scalp prickled.
"It's true. Everything I said is true."
"Was there nothing else?"
Murong Qingyi might also have assumed that Qian Wanyu had only uncovered this one attempt, so she was denying the other two assassination attempts entirely.
Qian Wanyu thought that was very likely.
