Chapter 220: The Game Has Been Set Up Long Ago
In the small kitchen, a figure quietly opened the medicine jar.
The thick black medicine was swirling, and waves of bitter medicine smell accompanied by hot steam sprayed on the man's face.
He raised his hand, ready to put what he was holding into the medicine jar.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed his hand from the side.
The man was frightened and struggled hard to break free.
"Do you think you can run away?" Mei Shu, who was guarding in the dark, grabbed the man's wrist and applied a little force, and the man howled.
His wrist was dislocated by Mei Shu.
Seeing the man wailing on the ground with his hands covering his wrists, Mei Shu tied him up with a rope.
Then he was taken to the yard.
There was a cool breeze in the courtyard, the moonlight was silvery white, and the torches were warm yellow. Liang Moyuan sat on a pearwood chair, wearing a black cloak with a dark gold lotus pattern.
Her eyes reflected the burning bonfire in front of her, and her expression was indifferent.
"Kneel down!" Mei Shu kicked the captured person in the knee.
Liang Moyuan just glanced at him indifferently.
"Who gave you the courage to poison? Ma Kui?" Liang Moyuan didn't intend to argue with him and asked directly.
Ma Kui looked stunned, surprised that Liang Moyuan actually knew who he was.
Why did Liang Moyuan know him?
Could it be that she was reminding herself that she knew everything about the second house and should not hide anything?
He panicked for a moment, but quickly regained his composure.
So what if that’s the case?
What he put in there was Ganoderma lucidum, not poison!
"I didn't poison it. I just came to check on the eldest young master's medicine. I was worried that it wasn't effective enough, so I added some Ganoderma lucidum!" Ma Kui stiffened his neck and refused to admit it.
Yu had fought with Liang Moyuan many times before and knew that the risk of being exposed was considerable. She had already taught Ma Kui how to defend himself.
After hearing his sophistry, Liang Moyuan felt only coldness in her heart.
"What a pity! Didn't Mrs. Yu tell you that I always personally brew the medicine for the young master? The medicine pot you touched was specially prepared for you."
Ma Kui opened his mouth, his eyes filled with despair of being unable to turn over.
In other words, Liang Moyuan knew from the beginning that Yu would definitely take action, and had already set up the plan!
Now that Huo Jin saw that the situation was critical, Liang Moyuan really had no intention of dealing with these people.
She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Lan Shu, who was standing beside her with his hands behind his back.
Lan Shu immediately stepped forward, passed Ma Kui, came to the blazing bonfire behind him, and bent down.
Ma Kui turned around in confusion and saw Lan Shu pulling out a red-hot iron from the campfire!
"You! What are you doing!?"
Ma Kui was horrified. His back, which had been kneeling straight just now, bent down in an instant, and his voice began to tremble.
Liang Moyuan curled the corners of his mouth, took the teacup handed to him by Jushu, took a sip, and there was no emotion in his eyes, which made people feel cold.
"You only have one chance to tell the truth. If the next words you say are not what I want to hear, the branding iron in my maid's hand will appear in your mouth."
That undisguised threat made Ma Kui tremble all over.
Lan Shu immediately brought the branding iron in his hand closer to his eyeball.
The scorching temperature singed Marqui's messy hair.
The smell of burning wafted into Ma Kui's nose, and his mind went blank.
Liang Moyuan is definitely more than just a threat!
"Yes! The Second House gave me twenty taels! They asked me to put the Ganoderma lucidum in Young Master Huo's medicine! It's really Ganoderma lucidum! It's not poison! Madam, please be discerning!"
Ma Kui shuddered and said everything he wanted to say.
Liang Moyuan slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.
She lowered her head and said nothing, just brushing off the ashes that had just floated over.
Mei Shu pulled up Ma Kui's dislocated hand, and in his horrified eyes, Lan Shu pressed the branding iron on his palm.
With a heart-wrenching scream, Ma Kui fainted from the pain.
Liang Moyuan stood up, without even looking at the person who had fainted on the ground, and just said, "Throw him into Yu's yard."
