Chapter 369 Wu Yaoyao's Last Meal
When the time comes,
Grandpa Feng's lips twitched a few times; his stiff muscles had indeed regained sensation, and all the discomfort had disappeared. He felt refreshed and full of energy.
"Dr. Xiao, your medical skills are truly superb."
Dr. Xiao smiled modestly, "Sir, medication works internally, while exercise works externally. Combining internal and external methods yields better results."
Behind the old house is Yunxiao Mountain. I suggest that the old man go hiking there every day for exercise; it would be even more beneficial.
The temple on the mountaintop is very efficacious. You can go there to offer incense and pray for a long and healthy life. Today happens to be the birthday of the deity enshrined in the temple, so going today will be most effective.
The old man has been bedridden for several days, but he seems to be in good spirits today. How about we go for a short walk in the mountains?
The old man got out of bed and walked around. He really felt that he was in great physical condition today, so he readily agreed.
Feng Jue's eyes darkened.
Seeing that the old man was happy, I didn't want to spoil his mood.
Grandpa Feng quickly packed up and went hiking with his butler, servants, and Dr. Xiao.
We got back around lunchtime.
It's not too late to expose Wu Yaoyao's true colors after we've had dinner.
Even if it's her last meal before she's executed.
Seeing that the old man was really enthusiastic about going hiking, Wu Yaoyao lowered her eyes to hide the smugness in them.
She learned in Z country that even though the old man was suffering from poisoning, he still drank the tea that Feng Jinchen sent him with every meal, which shows that he didn't suspect her at all about that can of pre-rain Longjing tea.
No matter how skilled other doctors are, they are helpless if they cannot find the source of the poison, so Wu Yaoyao secretly recommended Dr. Xiao.
As soon as Dr. Xiao arrived, he immediately replaced the pre-rain Longjing tea with the adulterated tea with regular tea. Even though his medical skills were mediocre, the effect was immediate.
He was even revered as a miracle doctor by the old man.
Since he's a miracle doctor, naturally I'll do whatever he's told.
Sure enough, they obediently went hiking.
Wu Yaoyao looked at Feng Jinchen, who was whispering to Feng Hanhai, and knew without a doubt that they were talking about the inheritance.
At this point, he probably has no time to care about her whereabouts.
Wu Yaoyao's eyes flickered for a moment, then she walked over and said, "Jinchen, I'm going shopping with my best friend. I'll be back before lunch."
Feng Jinchen was indeed busy discussing the will with his father, and didn't mention going with Wu Yaoyao. He just casually told her to be careful before looking away.
Wu Yaoyao swaggered out of the old house and took a car to a well-known luxury shopping mall.
She told the driver and maid to wait outside while she went up alone. Then she took a taxi from the back door of the spa and headed straight for Yunxiao Mountain, taking a shortcut up the mountain.
At the same time, she naturally needed to find a scapegoat.
She sent Su Xi a message, “Su Xi, come to Yunxiao Mountain by yourself.”
Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the fact that the child in your belly is Feng Jinchen's a secret.
Upon seeing the message, Su Xi's expression changed.
"Xixi, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I want to go for a walk in the garden."
Seeing Su Xi's indifferent expression, indicating that she didn't want to talk to him at all and didn't want him to go to the garden with her, Feng Jingnian moved his lips but ultimately didn't say a word.
He simply watched Su Xi go to the back garden.
Su Xi went to the garden alone, and her mood worsened.
In the past, Feng Jingnian would definitely have come out with him.
Even if he didn't come out with us, he would at least say a few words in a soft voice, but now he hasn't said a single word.
He didn't even move his buttocks from the chair an inch.
Actually, this isn't bad. It saves her the trouble of racking her brains to find an excuse to go to Yunxiao Mountain.
Su Xi found a pavilion to sit down and stared intently at the screen, her fingers clenching tightly.
Taking a deep breath, she mechanically typed, "Wu Yaoyao, this matter is already settled. How dare you try to blackmail me again? Do you think I'm a pushover?"
Wu Yaoyao replied quickly. Even though it was just a message, it was filled with indifference and arrogant superiority.
"Times change."
I had no idea that the baby in your belly was so important to the old man.
Even though he's not a member of the Feng family, he still wants to leave an inheritance for your illegitimate child. If you find out the truth, do you think you still have a chance to win custody of the child?
"Come or don't come, it's up to you. If you don't come, don't blame me for making a big fuss about whose baby you're carrying during lunch."
Su Xi closed her eyes and typed, "Why do you want me to go up the mountain? What trick are you playing now?"
You'll see when you get here.
Su Xi took a deep breath, "...Okay."
I only sat in the pavilion for about ten minutes, but when I got up, my legs were so stiff that they wouldn't obey me.
From the moment Su Xi saw Wu Yaoyao's message, she knew that she had no choice but to go to Yunxiao Mountain.
And now it has indeed come to pass.
Su Xi glanced towards the living room. She had been out for so long, and Feng Jingnian hadn't come out to check on her even once.
There was no seal of honor.
She left the old house smoothly, more smoothly than she had imagined.
Thinking back to how she used to have to rack her brains to kindly deceive Feng Jingnian when she wanted to do what she wanted, now it's so much easier.
I'm just feeling a bit depressed.
She had no idea what Wu Yaoyao was up to or what mischief she was plotting.
Tightening her grip on the pepper spray, Su Xi followed the winding path Wu Yaoyao had indicated and climbed the mountain.
The mountain path was rugged and difficult to walk on. However, after walking for about 10 minutes, the mountain path suddenly widened and merged into the main road.
Su Xi walked straight towards the temple on the mountain.
When she arrived, the housekeeper and servants were drinking tea in a side room and did not see Su Xi.
Following Wu Yaoyao's directions, Su Xi walked from the back of the side room to the main hall.
The temple was built on the top of a cliff.
The building is simple and unadorned, and because it is adjacent to a natural barrier, it evokes a sense of sacred awe.
Following Wu Yaoyao's instructions, she walked straight ahead, passed through the main hall, and saw the old man sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff with his eyes closed.
Su Xi frowned. She thought she would see Wu Yaoyao, but she didn't expect it to be Old Master Feng.
What on earth is she up to?
Before Su Xi could figure it out, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side.
They pushed Old Master Feng off the cliff.
The old man clearly hadn't expected that in such a sacred and solemn place, someone would dare to commit evil right before his eyes, unafraid of the karmic retribution that would send him to hell. So he was completely caught off guard.
By the time he realized what was happening and opened his eyes, he had already been pushed down, only managing to let out a powerful, mournful cry.
Su Xi could hardly believe her eyes, staring in disbelief as all of this unfolded before her eyes.
She stood there stunned for a second or two before rushing to the edge of the cliff.
Running and shouting,
"Someone come quick! The old man has been pushed off a cliff by Wu Yaoyao!"
Indeed, it was Wu Yaoyao who brazenly pushed the old man, who was meditating with his eyes closed, off right in front of her.
It's likely that the old man died without ever knowing who had caused his death.
Su Xi's hand holding the chili water trembled slightly, and she deliberately kept her distance from Wu Yaoyao.
She cautiously peeked down.
All I saw was the surging sea.
As far as she knew, the old man couldn't swim. Even if he could, falling from such a height would likely knock him unconscious on the spot. And even if he wasn't, with the surging seawater below, his chances of survival were slim.
Su Xi looked at Wu Yaoyao in disbelief, "Wu Yaoyao, what do you mean by this?"
"You want to know?"
Wu Yaoyao slowly leaned closer.
Suddenly, taking advantage of Su Xi's inattention, he snatched the phone from her hand.
He was thrown off the cliff.
Su Xi's eyes widened. "Wu Yaoyao, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Yaoyao sneered, "The phone is gone, don't try to slander me."
remember,
You chose to come up to this temple yourself.
You were the one who pushed the old man down.
"What? Wu Yaoyao, you're dreaming! It's clearly you..."
"So what if it's me? If you dare to bite me back, the piece of flesh in your belly will no longer belong to you."
Su Xi suddenly stopped.
Wu Yaoyao's gaze fell on Xi's hand, and she gave a disdainful laugh.
"Aren't you holding pepper spray in your hand?"
I allow you to argue that it was Old Master Feng who tried to assault you, and you accidentally pushed him off the cliff. As for whether others believe it or not, that's beyond my control.
Hearing the footsteps of the servants and housekeeper rushing in, Wu Yaoyao gave them a threatening look and then descended the mountain via a side path overgrown with weeds.
When the housekeeper and servants rushed in, all they saw was Su Xi in a daze; Old Master Feng was nowhere to be seen.
Combined with Su Xi's earlier shout that Wu Yaoyao had pushed the old man off the cliff, the butler and servants exchanged a glance and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
They eagerly peered down the cliff and saw the old man's meditation cushion hanging from a tree branch on the cliff face.
The old man did indeed fall.
"Su Xi, how did the old man fall off the cliff?"
“I…” Su Xi instinctively wanted to say it was Wu Yaoyao, but Wu Yaoyao’s threats were still fresh in her mind, so she could only swallow that answer.
They could guess that Wu Yaoyao was responsible, but she couldn't say it aloud. Otherwise, her bond with her unborn child might only last a few months.
Once the child is separated from the mother's body, she fears she will never see him again.
Absolutely not.
Seeing Su Xi's hesitant and guilty appearance, a hint of suspicion flashed in the butler's eyes, and he immediately raised his voice.
"Just now you shouted for Wu Yaoyao to push the old man off the cliff, but there was no sign of Wu Yaoyao at the scene."
"There were clearly only you and the old man at the scene. If you didn't push him off the cliff, who else could it be? Su Xi, you're absolutely vicious."
The housekeeper was filled with fear, grief, and anger. He ordered the servants to keep an eye on Su Xi and then called to report the terrible news.
Upon learning of this tragic news, the people at the old house did not immediately go up the mountain, but instead sent people downstream to search for them.
We sent out all the personnel we could.
Feng Jue received the news while he was outside. After receiving the news and making arrangements, he returned to the old house.
They used helicopters to pick everyone up and take them to the mountaintop.
Wu Yaoyao was naturally not among them, since her current persona was that she was out shopping.
Of course, she also received the bad news about the old house and is pretending to rush back.
The crime scene on the mountaintop.
Guardrails have been erected along the edge of the cliff.
Seeing Su Xi's pale face and the fact that her freedom was completely restricted, it was clear that she had been treated as a murderer and was being guarded like a prisoner.
Feng Jue glanced at it only once before indifferently withdrawing his gaze.
Even though she knew the man would be indifferent to her situation, the fact that it was happening right before her eyes still stung Su Xi's heart.
Feng Jinchen looked at Su Xi, his eyes filled with heartache and despair, clearly not expecting her to become so vicious. He merely moved his lips, without speaking.
Ignoring the servants' attempts to stop her, Feng Jingnian walked over and handed over a steaming cup of coffee. "Xixi, have some coffee."
Don't be afraid.
I believe whatever you say.
Su Xi was indeed flustered at this moment, so she reached out and took the coffee that Feng Jingnian handed her.
He lowered his head and took a sip.
Although the coffee was bitter, she felt sweet inside.
My heart, which had always felt empty, uncertain, and insecure, has finally found its place.
"Thank you for the years."
Feng Jingnian patted her shoulder, "I'm here."
When Grandma Feng heard the devastating news, she fainted and had to be carried onto a helicopter by the servants.
When Youyou woke up, she saw Su Xi, the culprit, openly drinking coffee and exchanging glances with Feng Jingnian. It was utterly cold-blooded.
Grandma Feng took a deep breath, and with the help of a maid, walked over, pointing her finger at Su Xi's nose, "Su Xi, are you even human? At a time like this, how can you still drink? How can you still laugh?"
When Su Xi saw that the old lady seemed to have aged 10 years in an instant, with a sorrowful look in her eyes and a pain that seemed to be unbearable, her heart ached as well.
It's normal for her to be devastated after suddenly losing her partner of decades. She doesn't care about the cold words and remarks directed at her, and she expresses her understanding.
Su Xi patiently explained, "Grandma, I didn't push Grandpa down. When I rushed in, he had already fallen off the cliff. As for who pushed him, I... I didn't see clearly."
"You're talking nonsense, it's completely incoherent. The housekeeper and the servants have already said that you were trying to frame Wu Yaoyao, claiming that Wu Yaoyao pushed the old man off the cliff. Now how come you say you didn't see clearly?"
"Was it in your panic that you didn't realize Wu Yaoyao wasn't on the mountain? Su Xi, you're absolutely vicious. You're incorrigible, your crimes are compounded. I truly misjudged you."
Su Xi moved her lips, utterly speechless.
He tightened his grip on the chili water in his hand.
For a fleeting moment, she wanted to explain, as Wu Yaoyao had suggested, that the two had argued and the old man had accidentally fallen.
But this would only confirm her guilt, and she didn't want the old man to have to bear a bad reputation before he passed away.
Seeing that Su Xi had nothing to say, what else could it be but a guilty conscience?
Grandma Feng was so angry that she pounded her chest and stamped her feet, her eyes filled with tears, and her lips trembled.
Su Xi,
Do some good deeds for the child in your belly.
If you are still single, then admit to yourself that you pushed the old man down.
Tell me, why did you push him down the mountain? Was it to fight for the inheritance?
Seeing the old lady sobbing uncontrollably, Su Xi bit her lip and said, "Grandma, I'm sorry, it really wasn't me. Everything happened so coincidentally, I really don't know what to say to prove my innocence."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Feng's eyes filled not only with sadness and anger, but also with hatred.
She suddenly stood up and abruptly pushed away the maid who was supporting her.
His fingers trembled as he pointed at Su Xi's nose and cursed.
"Su Xi, you are utterly depraved. Your guilty conscience and inability to explain yourself are blatantly obvious."
You're still stubbornly denying everything, offering endless excuses, showing no remorse. You're practically stabbing this old woman in the heart. You're not even human. You're a beast!
The old lady became more and more agitated as she spoke, and suddenly stepped forward and raised her hand high.
Snap!
Su Xi couldn't dodge in time and was slapped hard across the face.
The old man's hands were rough, leaving bloody scratches on her cheeks. Soon, clear five-finger marks also appeared on her face.
The scene suddenly became eerily quiet.
Just then...
