Chapter 579 Caught Red-Handed
Zhou Feng poured out the honey from the jar, and a faint medicinal smell gradually emanated from it, which was difficult to detect unless one smelled it carefully.
"If this isn't poison, what is it?" he said, raising his voice sharply.
The second sister of the He family was pale-faced, staring in shock at the honey he poured out. Her body trembled violently, and her throat felt constricted, her voice low and hoarse, "I...I don't know anything...I didn't know it was poisoned..."
"Don't know?" Zhou Feng approached her, his cold eyes narrowing slightly, his aura imposing. "It seems we have to go see the officials."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and shouted loudly to the servant outside the kitchen, "Someone, take her away until you tell the truth."
He's second sister's face turned from white to green, and she knelt down with a thud, grabbing Zhou Feng's clothes and begging for mercy: "Manager Zhou, I really didn't poison her, I just wanted to give Miss some honey."
Zhou Feng glanced at her with disgust. "So you knew perfectly well that Miss couldn't eat honey, but you secretly added it to her?"
He's second sister kept her head down and did not reply.
Zhou Feng kicked her away, "Looks like you're planning to leave your words to the authorities!"
He's second sister fell heavily to the ground, her face contorted in pain. Hearing Zhou Feng's words, she panicked and, despite the pain, grabbed his clothes again, crying out, "Manager Zhou, I really didn't know there was poison in the honey!"
Zhou Feng looked down at her coldly, threatening her with his words, "I'll give you one more chance. If you don't tell the truth again, I'll send you to the authorities and let them interrogate you properly. I've heard that the torture in prison can tear your skin apart."
The second sister of the He family was so frightened that her eyes widened and bulged out, her eyes filled with fear.
She panicked. After all, she was just a woman who had never seen the world. She could no longer hold back and kowtowed to Zhou Feng, saying, "Manager Zhou, no, no, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."
Zhou Feng softened his expression and said coldly, "Fine, go ahead."
The second sister of the He family lowered her head and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "I do have some resentment towards Miss, but I really didn't intend to poison her. I just added some honey to her food."
Zhou Feng said sternly, "Do you know that this little bit of honey could kill her?"
The second sister of the He family kept her head down and did not reply.
Zhou Feng drawled out his words, then said coldly and sarcastically, "You want her dead!"
The second sister of the He family clutched the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, gritted her teeth, and burst into tears, "Manager Zhou, I have done so much for you! This woman has been married to you for years but has never gotten pregnant. She is not good enough for you."
Zhou Feng was utterly speechless, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "She is my wife. Even if she can never have children, she is still the one I love. When did it become your place to interfere?"
He's second sister raised her red and swollen eyes and looked at him. "Manager Zhou, I'm not like her. I have a good body, I don't ask for anything, I just want to be your concubine."
Zhou Feng didn't want to listen to her nonsense anymore. "What about her miscarriage a few days ago? Did you do it?"
His words came out so quickly that He's second sister didn't react in time and blurted out, "She's really lucky. So many abortion pills didn't work."
She regretted it as soon as she finished speaking, and covered her mouth in horror.
Zhou Feng heard every word clearly, and now he had confessed without being asked.
He grabbed her and pulled her up, then threw her heavily to the ground. "It really was you! You have such a cruel heart!"
The second sister of the He family stared blankly ahead. At this moment, she was too nervous and caught off guard, and she wanted to make excuses, but she didn't know where to begin.
Zhou Feng didn't want to look at her again, so he turned around and instructed the servant behind him, "No need to report to the authorities, just hand her over to the master."
"Yes, miss." The servant replied and together they stepped forward to pull He's second sister down.
General Han has always doted on his daughter and is ruthless and decisive in his dealings. It is perfectly reasonable for him to entrust the second sister of the He family to him.
It can also save Han Yan'er a lot of trouble.
Soon, Han Yan'er and Madam Han also learned of this matter.
"I never imagined it really was her. It's all my fault; I let the wolf into the house." Madam Han was filled with remorse, holding Han Yan'er's hand, her face full of guilt.
Han Yan'er shook her head and said, "This is also my own fault. When A-Feng said he would send her back to Changliu Village, I didn't do it because I felt sorry for her."
Madam Han gripped her handkerchief tightly and said earnestly, "Yan'er, there's always a reason why someone is pitiful. You must remember this and never be soft-hearted towards such people again."
Han Yan'er nodded emphatically, then looked up at the doorway, "What will Father do with her?"
Madam Han took a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face, replying, "Your father plans to drag her to the backyard, give her fifty lashes, and then exile her to the salt flats."
The salt flats were desolate and uninhabited, surrounded by pools of water covered with white frost and salt. Being exiled there was merely a change of location for execution.
No one can survive there for more than ten days.
By doing this, General Han not only vented his anger but also prevented her blood from staining his eyes.
Han Yan'er sighed softly, "Father is always so thoughtful."
