Upon hearing Dongfang Mian's words, Yang Feier knew she was doomed. Her upright body instantly went limp, collapsing into the arms of Lord Changsun like a lump of rotten flesh.
Lord Changsun finally understood what was happening. With a flash, Yang Feier fell to the ground.
Lord Changsun slapped her across the face, "You wretch! I've been so good to you, and you dare to touch the old lady's medicine!"
If Lord Changsun's initial suspicion of Yang Feier had dwindled to a mere fraction, Dongfang Mian's words and Yang Feier's reaction told him that it was all true.
"It must be because they accidentally leaked their blood essence when they were refining the blood essence of young girls, which attracted countless poisonous creatures to settle in Tianqi City. Those who are sick are also poisoned," Dongfang Mian silently added.
The old lady glanced at Yang Feier on the ground and said, "I can understand if you want to harm me. After all, I didn't like you before and didn't agree to you becoming the city lord's wife. But as long as you and my son truly love each other, I can tolerate it. However, I absolutely cannot tolerate the fact that you plotted against the people of my Tianqi City. Not only me, but the entire city lord's mansion, the entire Changsun family, the entire Tianqi City, and even the entire God Realm cannot tolerate you."
The old lady said with an air of grandeur, "Things have come to this point, Yang Feier's fate is sealed, so there's no need to argue with her anymore. It's better to show some magnanimity, which will earn more respect."
As expected, everyone present admired the old lady greatly. She didn't care about almost losing her life after being poisoned, but cared more about the people of Tianqi City. What a magnanimous spirit she had! No wonder she was the old lady of the city lord's mansion.
Yang Feier was sobbing uncontrollably on the ground, but no one felt sorry for her. Everyone wanted to tear her apart, because her selfish desires had almost destroyed the entire Tianqi City, which was simply unforgivable.
Yang Feier never understood why she wanted to become more beautiful and more energetic. What was wrong with that? She wasn't trying to kill them, she was just using a little of their life essence. How could it have come to this?
It wasn't me who leaked blood and qi; it was clearly my subordinate's fault. Although it was wrong to take the old lady's medicine, my intention was simply to keep her bedridden and stop nagging me. I didn't really want to kill her. It was her own health that couldn't handle it. Why did she end up blaming me for everything?
Although it was his own wife who was executed, Lord Changsun was still very grateful to Dongfang Mian. After all, if she hadn't been brought to justice this time, she would have continued to cause trouble once the storm had passed, and then even the gods might have punished the Changsun family.
However, the feelings invested cannot be faked. After executing Yang Feier, Lord Changsun aged considerably and became listless. He even considered relinquishing his position as city lord as punishment for the incident. However, Lord Changsun held great prestige in Tianqi City, and countless people pleaded with him at the city lord's mansion not to abdicate. Lord Changsun was deeply moved and vowed to dedicate his life to Tianqi City.
After this incident, Dongfang Mian's status in the City Lord's Mansion rose considerably. Not only City Lord Changsun, but even the Old Madam took great care of Dongfang Mian. In her eyes, Dongfang Mian not only saved her life but also helped her deal with Yang Feier, whom she hated the most. In the Old Madam's heart, Dongfang Mian's status was second only to her own son, City Lord Changsun.
At the insistence of City Lord Changsun and the old lady, Dongfang Mian reluctantly asked them to help promote his Crimson Silver Sect. After City Lord Changsun's promotion, almost everyone in Tianqi City signed up to join the Crimson Silver Sect, which had saved the great hero Dongfang Mian of Tianqi City.
