The city lord of Changsun hurriedly helped Yang Feier up, looked her up and down with concern, and asked her softly if she felt unwell anywhere.
Yang Feier did not criticize Dongfang Mian further. Instead, she silently shed tears and said, "Husband, don't worry. Feier is fine. Please don't let this cause any estrangement between you and Doctor Dongfang. After all, Doctor Dongfang is my savior. Feier is nothing."
Lord Changsun, with a dark expression, embraced Yang Feier and said to Dongfang Mian, "Doctor Dongfang, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer regarding this matter."
Dongfang Mian looked at Yang Feier and said meaningfully, "The city lord's wife has delicate and flawless skin, she must take good care of herself."
Yang Feier lowered her eyes and said softly, "My husband dotes on me. He always provides me with the best food, clothing and other necessities."
“But even the best tonics can’t stop the inevitable aging process. If you’re nourished by pills made from the essence of young girls, you can not only beautify your skin but also nourish your blood and improve your strength. Even an old woman who is tens of millions of years old can exude the fragrance of a young girl,” Dongfang Mian said, staring into her eyes.
When Yang Feier approached, Dongfang Mian noticed something unusual about her. She had an aura that didn't match her age, and some of the auras were very familiar to Dongfang Mian. This made Dongfang Mian realize the whereabouts of the pills made from the blood essence of young girls.
Upon hearing this, Yang Feier was shocked and turned pale. She waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "How could Feier do such a heinous thing? Doctor Dongfang, Feier has never offended you. Why are you treating Feier like this?"
As she spoke, Yang Feier burst into tears again in the arms of Lord Changsun.
Dongfang Mian simply watched her act coldly without exposing her, but the body of the City Lord Changsun, who was holding her, stiffened unnaturally.
Looking at the woman in his arms, who was crying with tears streaming down her face, Lord Changsun asked in a deep voice, "Fei'er, did you really do this?"
If this doubt had come from someone else, Lord Changsun would have undoubtedly thrown that person out of the city lord's mansion without a second thought. But since these words came from Dongfang Mian's mouth, Lord Changsun unconsciously began to believe them to some extent.
After all, Dongfang Mian had created too many miracles that Lord Changsun could not have imagined before. Moreover, even when faced with Ouyang Wei and others who spoke ill of him, Dongfang Mian still helped them complete their mission without holding a grudge. Therefore, in Lord Changsun's eyes, Dongfang Mian's character was absolutely trustworthy.
However, Yang Feier was usually very gentle and kind, which made her a favorite of the city lord. Otherwise, he would not have been able to marry Yang Feier, who came from a small family, as the city lord's wife despite the old lady's disapproval.
But now, looking at Yang Feier, who still looked pitiful, Lord Changsun's heart turned cold.
Hearing the words of Lord Changsun, who had always been so obedient to her, Yang Feier stopped crying and looked coldly at him, saying, "Feier never imagined that my husband would find me so untrustworthy. I, Yang Feier, have done nothing wrong and am willing to die to prove my innocence."
Lord Changsun, who had never seen Yang Feier so assertive, began to waver again, and most of his initial doubts disappeared.
"The City Lord's wife's tactic of feigning indifference is truly brilliant, but you may not be familiar with the profession of physician. Whether you have taken pills made from the essence of young girls can be easily determined by testing. I think you must not know this, otherwise you wouldn't be so bold as to touch the old lady's medicine," Dongfang Mian said calmly.
