Chapter 732 Cutting off one's own finger
Afterwards, Qiao Mang took Mu Ying back to Chu Lingfeng's office.
Mu Ying looked up at the man she deeply loved and yet feared so much, Chu Lingfeng.
He stood in front of the French window against the light, with a large shadow on his face, and a pair of dark eyes emitting a cold light, as if he had seen through her completely.
Her heartbeat quickened, and fear crept up from the depths of her heart.
Looking back on the years she had spent with the young master, she had witnessed how he had grown from a weak boy, enduring humiliation and illness, to become the man he was today, powerful enough to shock the empire.
She felt sorry for his past, but was also impressed by his tenacity.
If the young master wanted to kill her, Mu Ying suddenly thought that dying at his hands might be a kind of happiness.
Thinking this way, I will not be afraid of anything.
Mu Ying forced herself to look him in the eye, "Master, what's the matter?"
"come over."
Mu Ying took two steps forward.
"Come here."
His voice was like the water from an ancient well in winter, clear and sweet, yet also icy cold.
Mu Ying clenched her fists, suppressing her heart which was beating faster and faster, and walked towards the powerful man. She came in front of him, stopped, and stood with her head lowered.
Chu Lingfeng reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to look up. "Mu Ying, I'm only asking you this once."
Her breathing was already becoming difficult, but thinking of Qiao Mang's words, she forced herself to breathe, looked at the young master with a calm gaze, and nodded to him.
"Did you swap Xiaojiu's medicine?"
Mu Ying bit her lip. She knew she couldn't admit it, but even if she didn't admit it, wouldn't the young master know?
Only she and the young master knew the recipe. If the young master was not very sure, why would he come directly to ask her?
Especially when the young master looked at her with a gaze that could pierce her soul, Mu Ying felt that she had nowhere to hide.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say the words "It's me".
But before he could utter a word, Qiao Mang suddenly said, "It's me."
Mu Ying widened her eyes and felt nervous. Is Brother Qiao crazy?
Chu Lingfeng looked at Qiao Mang: "You?"
"It was me. I didn't want that woman to come to the young master. She would ruin the young master's plan and disturb his mind. So I tricked Mu Ying into making a non-toxic medicine for me and gave it to Su Jiuyao instead. Mu Ying knew nothing about it."
Chu Lingfeng narrowed his eyes and looked at Qiao Mang, then looked at Mu Ying.
He suddenly let go of Mu Ying and smiled bitterly.
"So, I don't even have the freedom to choose which woman I want. I have to listen to you?" He seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be questioning Qiao Mang.
His voice sounded somewhat sad due to being suppressed, but his eyes were even colder than before, as if flashing with a bloodthirsty red light.
Mu Ying's heart beat faster and faster, and she had a bad feeling. Because the young master had the same expression when he decided to take action against his uncles.
Chu Lingfeng walked to the big desk, opened the drawer, took out a dagger and threw it on the ground.
"Cut off one of your fingers. If you do it again, I will kill you."
"Young Master..." Mu Ying had just shouted when Qiao Mang had already picked up the knife and cut off the little finger of his left hand.
Mu Ying sucked in a breath of cold air and didn't say anything else.
She quickly ran to Qiao Mang and frantically helped him stop the bleeding.
Qiao Mang said nothing, his face pale, and he looked at her deeply.
Mu Ying turned her back to the young master, and her tears fell to the ground, mixing with Qiao Mang's blood.
She would not let Brother Qiao's fingers be broken in vain.
Even if she had to use the most despicable means, she would make the young master keep his heart with her. This was not only for herself, but also for Brother Qiao.
Perhaps, this is also for the good of the young master...
