"Madam." The servant of Shuya Garden spoke first, "A maid came over from Tongshengxuan and said she wanted to see Aunt An for something."
Looking for An's?
Everyone was stunned. An was also a little confused. She first glanced at Feng Yuheng and saw that he was frowning. An's heart skipped a beat and she quickly asked the girl, "What's the matter?"
The maid of Tongshengxuan stepped forward and asked her anxiously, "Auntie, have you prepared today's snacks?"
An was startled, then said, "I haven't made time to do it yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
The girl said, "The snacks that Auntie sent yesterday were not many. After the Madam ate them, she kept complaining about them until the night and didn't sleep well. She was looking forward to you sending her some pear cakes early this morning."
Everyone laughed when they heard this. Fendai couldn't hold back her words and blurted out, "How brave of you to come to the old lady and ask for food!"
The old lady was also puzzled and felt a little unhappy. Yao was a divorced woman, and it was good enough that An sent snacks to her. Why did she send them a little late and bring them to the door to ask for them? It would be fine if she went directly to An's courtyard to ask for them, after all, they had a good relationship, but coming to her place, this was not just a matter of etiquette, but she didn't take this place seriously at all!
She was unhappy and wanted to say something, but then she heard Feng Yuheng say, "The snacks made by Aunt An are indeed delicious. Fourth sister's words reminded me. Aunt An, remember to send some of those delicious snacks to Aunt Han later."
An Shi didn't understand what was going on at all, but she couldn't help but respond since Feng Yuheng had spoken, so she nodded, "Then I'll send some to Yulan Courtyard after I finish it today."
As she spoke, Feng Yuheng carefully observed her demeanor, but did not notice anything unusual. Looking at Xiangrong again, she also looked confused. She then made a plan.
She had noticed something was not right with the Yao family years ago, and even replaced all the cooks at Tongshengxuan. She also checked all the servants at night, but found no clues.
However, she didn't expect that the problem actually occurred with the snacks sent by An, the only thing she didn't check.
When Fen Dai heard that they were going to send snacks to Yulan Courtyard, she refused on the spot. "My aunt won't eat anything sent by anyone now. She only eats what is sent by the palace officials. My aunt An doesn't need to worry about it in vain."
Seeing them quarreling, the old lady became even more annoyed, so she sent An away and said, "You should go back quickly!"
"Wait!" Feng Yuheng suddenly spoke in a cold voice, and then asked the girl Tong Shengxuan: "Does mother need it urgently?"
The little girl said, "It's urgent, very urgent. Madam didn't even have breakfast today, she was just waiting for the snacks. Before I came out, Madam had just smashed a vase in the room because the snacks hadn't arrived yet."
Feng Yuheng stood up suddenly, with a fierce look in his eyes, and glared at An and Xiangrong.
At this time, everyone in Feng Mansion also felt that something was wrong. Kang Yi was the first to stand up and asked the maid from Tongshengxuan: "Is your wife showing any signs of being upset?"
The girl said, "Yes, I couldn't sleep last night, and I seemed even more anxious when I woke up this morning."
"What about other symptoms? For example, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Or dizzy?"
The little girl thought about it and shook her head, "No, I've been in good spirits lately, and seem to be much better than before the New Year."
Kang Yi was shocked and turned to the old lady and said, "Oh no, I'm afraid there is something like Soul-Separating Powder inside."
The old lady was shocked, "The soul is scattered?"
Others were also confused. Lihunsan is an addictive narcotic and psychotropic drug. If taken for a long time, it can indeed make people look energetic. But once the drug is stopped, the person will become very irritable and may even do things that hurt others and themselves because they cannot bear it.
The old lady realized the seriousness of the matter, and when she saw Feng Yuheng's increasingly cold face, she was a little scared. Then she changed her mind and glared at An Shi - "An Shi! How come there is Soul-Separating Powder in the snacks you made?" She had to throw An Shi out immediately, so that Feng Yuheng would not go crazy and blame the entire Feng Mansion.
An was also confused! She knelt on the ground, not in front of the old lady, but to Feng Yuheng: "Second Miss, I really didn't do it! Not to mention that it is extremely difficult to get something like Soul-Separation Powder, even if I have it, I can't use it on Sister Yao!"
Xiangrong also knelt down and looked at Feng Yuheng and said, "Every time Auntie makes snacks, I always follow her. Sometimes it's pears, sometimes it's grapes. In short, any fresh fruit in the mansion is mashed into a paste by Xiangrong. We only make it carefully because we think Madam Yao likes it. We never add anything."
Feng Yuheng frowned and thought for a while, and at the same time carefully observed the expressions and behaviors of the two people, and even noticed the contraction of their pupils. Years of experience told her that this matter had nothing to do with Anshi and Xiangrong.
She took a deep breath and said, "Come back with me and take a look."
"Okay." An quickly pulled Xiangrong to stand up together, "If there really is something wrong with the dim sum, regardless of whether it was us who did it, I will not shirk my responsibility. After all, we made the dim sum."
Kang Yi also took over the conversation: "Let's all go over and take a look. We will be worried if we stay here."
"Yes!" The old lady also stood up, and I went over to take a look.
Feng Yuheng looked at them for a while, but did not refuse. He just said, "Tongshengxuan has always disliked crowds of people. Mother and grandmother can go over to see it, and there is no need for others." After saying that, he walked away.
An and Xiangrong followed behind, and Kang Yi also helped the old lady out of the house, while telling Zhao Mama: "Hurry up and prepare a soft chair for mother."
Fen Dai and Jin Zhen were also very curious, but Feng Yuheng stopped them from talking. They also knew that Tongshengxuan was a place where no one could be allowed in if Feng Yuheng said so. If Feng Yuheng got angry, he would not recognize any relatives, so they didn't dare to go and get into trouble.
Feng Yuheng returned to Tongshengxuan as quickly as possible. The others could only jog behind her, but they were still far behind her.
When I entered Yao's yard, I heard a sudden hysterical shout from inside - "Go and get me some snacks! Go!" The voice was extremely shrill, and the throat was hoarse, which was completely inconsistent with Yao's usually gentle temperament.
Then there was the sound of things being thrown, one after another. She estimated that by now most of the things in the room had been thrown away by Yao.
A group of maids were blocking the door, each of them was very anxious, but they couldn't get into the house at all. Things that Yao had thrown would fly out from time to time. Feng Yuheng saw that two of the maids had bruises on their foreheads.
Seeing her coming back, the maids finally breathed a sigh of relief and ran over to report the situation to her: "Miss, you are back. Madam has fallen all morning. Can you come and see what happened?"
Some maids also questioned: "How delicious are those snacks? How could Madam become like this if she didn't have them for a day?"
At this time, Wang Chuan who stayed at Liang Xin Pavilion also rushed back after hearing the news. She got the news later than Shu Ya Garden, but fortunately Wang Chuan was always good at Qing Gong, and she used Qing Gong to come here directly, which made her several steps faster than others.
Feng Yuheng immediately ordered Wang Chuan Huang Quan: "You two go into the house and calm mother down first."
The two maids took the order and ran quickly to Yao's room. After a while, the sound of things being thrown stopped, but Yao's shouting continued - "Give me some snacks! Give me some snacks! Let me go, I want some snacks, go and get some for me!"
Feng Yuheng also entered the room afterwards. When he saw Yao's appearance, he couldn't help but be shocked. He saw that her lips were dry and white, her face was bloodless, her eyes were blurry and her pupils were almost unfocused, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were torn into a mess.
She saw the symptoms at a glance. This was clearly the onset of drug addiction. Soul-Separating Powder, did the Dashun Dynasty call that thing Soul-Separating Powder? To put it bluntly, it was actually the drug from the previous life. Yao had become addicted to drugs right under her nose, which dealt a great blow to Feng Yuheng. She could not forgive her own mistakes at all. She was so careful but still got ambushed. Who was so bold?
She was thinking about something and stood there for a long time. At this time, the people from the Feng family also came into the house.
An and Xiangrong were both shocked when they saw Yao like this. Xiangrong ran to Yao in a daze and was about to ask her what was wrong, but when Yao saw Xiangrong, she became even more excited and shouted at her, "Did you bring me snacks? Where are my snacks?" As she spoke, she suddenly broke free from Wangchuan and Huangquan, pounced on Xiangrong, hugged her and bit her face.
Xiangrong screamed in fear, but Yao said, "Dim sum, my dim sum is finally here, it's delicious!" She mistook Xiangrong for a dim sum and bit her face.
Xiangrong was caught off guard and was bitten by her. Fortunately, Wangchuan Huangquan reacted quickly. Wangchuan pressed a point on Yao's acupoint, and Yao suddenly felt that her mouth was powerless, so the bite only touched some flesh and did not cause any substantial damage to Xiangrong.
But it also frightened people. Kang Yi shouted, "She's starting to hurt people. Hurry up and hold her back. And her tongue. Be careful she might bite her own tongue!"
Feng Yuheng saw that he couldn't wait any longer, so he simply took out an anesthetic needle from the space, then quickly stepped forward and stabbed it into Yao's neck.
Yao rolled her eyes and fell asleep.
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan worked together to lift her onto the bed, then turned to look at Feng Yuheng and asked in unison: "Miss, what should we do?"
Feng Yuheng went forward to feel Yao's pulse, proving once again that she was indeed poisoned by the addictive drug. She was also a little irritated. This kind of poison could not be cured. Even if she was a skilled doctor, she could not come up with a panacea for drug addiction. There were withdrawal drugs, but they were not specific drugs. Even in the 21st century with advanced technology, there were no specific drugs for drug addiction. The only way to reduce and alleviate the pain of drug addiction withdrawal symptoms was to use substitution and reduction methods to gradually achieve detoxification.
In short, no matter what, it requires the perseverance and determination of the poison eater to cooperate, but given Yao's condition, can she do it?
Feng Yuheng thought for a while, then suddenly turned his head to the crowd, fixed his eyes on An and Xiangrong, and asked, "Where is your girl named Meixiang?"
