Pomegranate demon Dan Ruo was forced to begin a "second new employment" on her cultivation path. She must transmigrate into various cannon fodder characters to fulfill their wishes, and by ...
When Qi Yunfeng heard what happened here, his face turned as black as charcoal and his whole body was as cold as ice.
Fang Fei looked at Qi Yunfeng with tears in her eyes, full of hope, and said with an open mind:
"Fang Fei's feelings for the prince are evident to all."
Qi Yunfeng thought about everything that had happened between them over the past few years, and Fang Fei's feelings for him were indeed true.
He calmed down and covered Fangfei with his clothes.
He lowered his voice and said, "Madam Fang has always been the most prudent. This time, something is fishy. Find a doctor to see if she has been poisoned by some unclean medicine."
Seeing that Qi Yunfeng believed in her, Fang Fei hid in Qi Yunfeng's arms and cried, saying that she was framed.
She only has the prince in her heart, and now she can only prove her innocence by dying with her child.
Madam Qi immediately became worried after hearing this. The master said that this child was a good omen for their Duke Qi's mansion. She stopped pretending to be a good person behind the scenes and hurriedly advised:
"Madam Fang definitely has no intention of doing anything inappropriate while she's pregnant. There must be some misunderstanding.
All the servants who know about this must be detained, and not a single word of information can be leaked."
Dan Ruo sneered. When the original owner had an accident before, Fang Fei and Qi Yunfeng did not think of giving the original owner a chance to defend himself. They directly spread the matter, while Madam Qi just watched from the sidelines.
The reason why Madam Qi intervened now was only because Fang Fei bribed a master in the temple in order to make Madam Qi pay attention to the child in her belly.
After Mrs. Qi finished her instructions, she also advised Danruo to control the servants who came with her as a dowry and not to make a big deal out of the matter and bring shame to the Duke Qi's Mansion.
Dan Ruo sneered and said nothing. Qi Yunfeng was about to threaten him.
Just at this moment, the doctor from the mansion came running in, panting.
It was found that Fang Fei had indeed been drugged by an aphrodisiac. Fang Fei knelt down in front of Dan Ruo crying:
"Please, my lady, spare my life and my child. I am willing to go to the manor and never see the prince again, so as not to affect the relationship between you and him."
After Fang Fei reminded them of this, everyone thought that it was Danruo who did it, even Madam Qi showed an expression of agreement.
Dan Ruo looked calmly at her wet nurse, Nanny Wang, and said calmly:
"Slandering the county lady, according to the law, should be punished with a cane. Since Concubine Fang is pregnant, then slap her in the face."
Nanny Wang took the order and left, slapping the maid twice quickly and hard. She was very disgusted with this bitch.
Qi Yunfeng finally reacted and stopped him.
With red eyes, she pointed at Danruo and angrily scolded, "Wen Danruo, how could there be such a vicious woman like you in the world? You actually used such despicable means to harm a weak pregnant woman. After the incident, you refused to admit it and even had the audacity to do it."
Dan Ruo knocked away his annoying finger and said rudely:
"Do you have any evidence? Just by hearing your concubine cry a few times, you put all the blame on this county lady. You have no sense of right and wrong. This is why you, Qi Yunfeng, will never be as good as Qi Yunqing."
Looking at the aggressive Dan Ruo, Qi Yunfeng's mind was in turmoil:
"You want evidence, right? Let's investigate now. If it turns out to be you, you will make Fangfei your concubine and you will not embarrass her in the future."
Dan Ruo laughed: "Then why don't you tell me? What if they find out it's not me?"
Qi Yunfeng stammered and couldn't say anything. He originally wanted to say that he would spend more time with her in the future. Isn't what she wants the company of her husband?
"Then if it turns out that it's not this county lady, then you will compensate this county lady with two hundred thousand taels of silver."
Madam Qi was about to stop her, but Qi Yunfeng agreed. He thought it would be a good thing to get Fangfei the title of concubine, and it would also be beneficial to the status of his children.
As for the two hundred thousand taels, he firmly believed that it must have been Dan Ruo who paid for it. There were only two people in his backyard, so who else could it be except her?
She asked for two hundred thousand taels just to force me to stop investigating the matter. How could I let her do as she wished?
Dan Ruo immediately wrote it down in black and white and asked Qi Yunfeng to sign it. When he lost his title in the future, he would still have plenty of money to live a wealthy and idle life, so he might as well let him lose these backings first.
The bet is settled.
Qi Yunfeng began to investigate the matter thoroughly and asked the doctor to search the entire mansion to see where the aphrodisiac was.
What was unexpected was that the powder was only found in the crevices of Hu Ge'er's fingernails in the entire mansion. Madam Qi was worried that it would affect Hu Ge'er's health.
After the examination, the doctor said that the medicine was only effective for adults and Hu Ge'er was not seriously injured.
When Fang Fei chose to let Hu Ge'er take the medicine powder to harm the original owner, she naturally took Hu Ge'er's physical condition into consideration.
All the servants who had contact with Hu Ge'er were arrested, interrogated one by one, and their whereabouts outside the mansion were verified.
Then it was found out that it was an inconspicuous little maid in Fangfei Courtyard who went out to buy medicine at a brothel, and Fangfei's maid had changed Hu Ge'er's clothes once.
Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Fang Fei cried and asked the two people: "I am usually so nice to you, have you been bribed by the county lady?"
These two people are people Fang Fei can absolutely trust, so she is relieved to let them do such a secret thing. In her previous life, Qi Yunqing would never have thought that the medicine came from Hu Ge'er.
In addition, he was transferred to the border as soon as the incident happened. By the time he wanted to investigate, Fangfei had already dealt with it.
The two men thought of their families and knew that Aunt Fang wanted them to identify the county lord.
They naturally did as they were told, as a gentleman would die for his friend, but they didn't expect that what they said was completely the opposite.
The little maid said: "Auntie Fang asked me to buy the medicine. She has helped me a lot."
The eldest maid said, "Auntie Fang told me to hide the medicine in Hu Ge'er's sleeve, and then told me to teach Hu Ge'er to sprinkle it on the county lady."
They were horrified after they finished speaking. They clearly didn't want to tell the truth, but why did they say it? Dan Ruo smiled secretly. The truth exchanged for merit points was beyond human resistance.
Dan Ruo said angrily, "It turns out that Aunt Fang wanted to harm me, but I moved Hu Ge'er to her place, and she got what she deserved."
Fang Fei was very strong-willed and didn't panic at all. Instead, she felt even more aggrieved:
"Maybe the county lady threatened their families, so they don't dare to tell the truth."
It's true that you won't cry until you see the coffin.
Dan Ruo looked at Hu Ge'er and said, "Then let Hu Ge'er tell the story. Children can't lie, and they don't understand threats."
Qi Yunfeng asked Hu Ge'er, but Hu Ge'er didn't know how to answer.
Fang Fei hinted to Hu Ge'er to speak nicely, otherwise his biological mother would be killed by his stepmother.
Brother Hu didn't know what to do.
Dan Ruo said calmly, "An honest child is a good child."
Hu Ge'er recalled that from last night to today, the servants around him had been persuading him to regain his stepmother's favor so that he could have the status of a legitimate son and live a good life in the future.
Lady Qi also asked him to pretend to cry and go find his stepmother. He went to find her crying, but his stepmother ignored him.
Now that his stepmother has finally spoken to him, he has to be an honest child.
After he told the truth, it just happened to verify what the two maids said.
Fangfei was so angry that she couldn't breathe and shouted, "Evil son."
Hu Ge'er was puzzled because his biological mother always told him to please his stepmother.
