Chapter 878 The Harm of a Demi-Immortal

"I can forgive you this time, and I can give you a chance, but you need to make things clear," Qiao Duo'er said.

Xu Clan immediately replied, "Four days ago, Zheng Shi came to me and said she could help me. She gave me a bottle of poison and told me to add it to the soup that everyone drinks, claiming it won't kill anyone. I've been too scared, but she urged me again yesterday, and I was afraid Shi Dan couldn't hold on, so I had no choice but to agree."

As she spoke, she also took out a paper packet from her bosom—it was the very thing Zheng Shi had given her.

Qiao Duo'er opened it and, with a grim face, said, "This is arsenic."

If she hadn't happened to learn about their conspiracy, everyone in the Embroidery Room would have perished because of this.

How deep must their hatred be?

Xu Clan's face turned deathly pale with fright. "Impossible, Zheng Shi said it was ordinary poison and that as long as the dosage was small, it wouldn't be lethal."
