"Do you think this is the end? It's not just that!" Xianglan was completely desperate. The torture of conscience for so many years and Qin Bijun's repeated pursuit had already made her physically and mentally exhausted.
"Tell me, what else did you do?" Feng Tianxiang wanted to kill her with one blow.
"Hahaha, do you know why the young lady believed the rumors? It's because of you!" Xianglan pointed at Old Madam Feng.
"Because of me? Why?" Old Madam Feng was filled with grief and indignation.
"It was you. One evening, the young lady went to pay her respects to you. As she reached the door, she heard Qin Bijun crying bitterly in your room. She felt it was inappropriate to go in, so she was about to go back. But as soon as she turned around, she heard you say, 'If there's a chance, I'll definitely make you my daughter-in-law!'" Xianglan shouted loudly, "I was right next to the young lady at the time, and we all heard it!"
"No, that's not the case. Bijun came and said that it was her mother's death anniversary. She cried and told me about her experience and said she didn't want to live anymore. I thought about my poor sister who died at such a young age. I was anxious and said that it would be great if I had another son. I would definitely let her be my daughter-in-law, so that she wouldn't suffer so much... I didn't know Wanying was outside at the time!" Old Lady Feng said with great sorrow.
"Of course you don't know, because this was all planned by Qin Bijun. She deliberately came to you to cry at that time, sent away the servants in your yard, and asked me to bring the young lady over. She happened to hear what you said. She is such a meticulous and ruthless person! How could you possibly find out?" Xianglan said.
"So that's how it is..." Old Madam Feng muttered with a dejected look on her face.
"If the old lady is wrong, then the eldest young master is even more so!" Xianglan turned to look at Feng Tianxiang and said angrily.
"What happened to the head of the family?"
"Why is there something about the head of the family involved here?"
"What's going on? We don't know either." The Feng family members had not yet recovered from their previous shock, and were stunned by this sentence again, and started talking about it.
"Tell me, what else do you know? Tell me everything you know!" Feng Tianxiang's eyes flashed with anger, and veins bulged on his forehead, all of which showed his inner anger.
"How many times have you seen him since the young lady came back home with you? He's been fiddling with your medicinal herbs all day long. Every time he goes into the alchemy room, he's not seen for ten days or half a month. When he comes out, he just says a few words to the young lady in a hurry, throws her some pills, and then goes back to seclusion. You weren't even around when the young master and the young lady were born... Otherwise, how could someone take advantage of you?!" Xianglan sneered.
"I thought my Feng family had been a single-line family for generations, and that our family was simple and free from the intrigues that exist in wealthy families. I never expected that a wolf would appear next to me!" The eldest elder of the Feng family slammed the ground hard with his crutch.
"It's my fault. I didn't take good care of Wanying!" Feng Tianxiang was devastated. "What happened on the day Wanying gave birth? Why did she have a difficult delivery?" Feng Tianxiang shouted.
"That day, the old lady said that the madam was about to give birth, and she wanted to go to the temple to burn incense and pray for peace and blessings, so she set off early in the morning. Qin Bijun also asked me to tell you that the madam really wanted to eat the osmanthus cake from the old shop in the west of the city. As soon as you heard that it was the madam who wanted it, you went to buy it without stopping."
"So Qin Bijun took advantage of you all being away to visit the young lady. She even hypocritically told the servants that she was worried that the young lady would be bored at home alone, so she wanted to chat with her to cheer her up. Little did she know that all her clothes and jewelry had been soaked in musk in advance. The young lady didn't want to stay with her any longer, so she found an excuse to send her away..."
"If that's the case, then why did Madam still have a difficult delivery?" Feng Tianxiang asked, suppressing his grief.
"It's because of me! When Qin Bijun saw her plan failed, she threatened me to put safflower in Madam's food! So, I brought her a bowl of her favorite red date and lotus seed soup. Because I brought it, Madam didn't think much of it and ate the bowl of lotus seed soup mixed with safflower..." Xianglan's eyes were empty. She knelt on the ground, her head hung low, and she said nothing more...
"You deserve to die!!!" Old Madam Feng was in so much pain that she fainted.
"mother!"
"grandmother!"
"Old lady!"
The Feng family was in a panic and sent Madam Feng back to her room. After some diagnosis and treatment, Madam Feng woke up.
"Tianxiang, I am sorry for you. I have been blind and ignorant for so many years. I let a wolf into the house, causing my daughter-in-law to lose her life at such a young age!" Old Madam Feng was in great pain.
"Mom, it's my fault. I brought her down the mountain but failed to protect her. I feel so sorry for her." Feng Tianxiang, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, felt heartbroken and full of regret.
"Dad, Grandma, now is not the time to be sad. We should catch the murderer and avenge my mother!" Feng Lingxiao said hatefully.
"Yes, that's right, I want her to pay with her life!" Feng Tianxiang stood up, and the group strode towards Qin Bijun's yard.
Mu Mansion, Songbai Courtyard
Mu Li woke up bleary-eyed, the warm sunlight shining on her little face. Her outstretched hands and feet seemed to be recounting a sweet dream she had the previous night.
"Sister, you finally woke up?" Mu Feng said with surprise.
"Sister, sister..." Several little kids from the Mu family rushed over.
"Oh, it's so noisy..." Mu Li, who had just woken up, heard the chattering sound in her ears, and her head almost exploded.
"..." The Mu brothers fell silent instantly, looking nervously at Mu Li in the crib.
"Wow, these little boys are all my brothers? They are so adorable! Hello brothers, I am your group's darling sister." Mu Li took a look at them one by one, with stars in her eyes.
