Feng Jinyuan was taken to Shuya Garden by Zhao Mama as soon as he returned home from court. As he listened to Zhao Mama's explanation of the whole story, cold sweat started to flow down his forehead.
Someone is harming the Yao family. Isn't this just adding fuel to the fire? What kind of personality does Feng Yuheng have? Ru Jia was beaten half to death by her for scolding the Ninth Prince. She didn't even take a princess seriously. Now someone has touched her biological mother. Once this person is found out, won't she skin him alive?
He hurried into the old lady's bedroom and saw the old lady sitting on a soft chair in the inner room, her brows tightly knitted and her face full of worry.
He hurried forward to greet her, but heard the old lady say: "Okay, why are you greeting me? Do you think I can really greet you just by saying it?"
Feng Jinyuan sat down beside her and asked anxiously, "I heard what Aunt Zhao said. Is this true?"
The old lady nodded, "I saw it with my own eyes, so I take it seriously. Jin Yuan, I have something to ask you, you must tell me the truth."
Feng Jinyuan didn't wait for her to ask, and took the initiative to say: "It wasn't me."
The old lady was stunned, "No?"
He nodded, "No. Although I hated Yao for divorcing me, and even thought about letting her die, only her death can eliminate my humiliation. But mother, I am not a person who thinks without thinking. Even if Yao is not enough, Ah Heng is really not an easy person to deal with, not to mention that there is the Ninth Prince behind her."
The old lady sighed, "It's good that you understand this truth. I was really afraid that you would be confused and attack Yao. You don't know how scary Ah Heng's eyes were when Yao got into trouble today. I felt cold all over my body just by looking at him. If it was really you who did the Soul-Separating Powder in Yao, I'm afraid that girl would slaughter everyone in our Feng Mansion!"
Feng Jinyuan saw that the old lady was really scared, so he quickly comforted her and said, "Mother, you are worrying too much. No matter how brave she is, she can't kill our whole family. My son is an important official in the court. Even if the emperor has rewards and punishments, he will never take my son's life. Although Feng Yuheng calls the emperor father, it doesn't mean that she can do whatever she wants. If the prime minister moves, the court will be in chaos. She can't bear this crime."
The old lady was relieved to hear him say that, but she asked again, "If it's not you, then who could it be? Jin Yuan, do you think it could be Chen Yu?"
Feng Jinyuan actually suspected Chen Yu, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely. "Chen Yu is still imprisoned in the Buddhist temple. Not to mention that she can't get out, even if she can get out, her only backer is the Shen family. The Shen family has already collapsed. How can she have the ability to do such a thing."
The old lady reminded him, "Yao was poisoned by the Soul-Separating Powder. I heard that An had been sending her snacks for several months. That was naturally when the Shen family was still around."
Feng Jinyuan still shook his head, "The Shen family has been down for so long, the medicine should have been stopped long ago, it wouldn't have taken effect until today."
The old lady was speechless after being told that. She said with a bitter face, "It's not this one, nor is it that one. Then who is it? Oh, right," she remembered something, "Last time Han was murdered, an earring was found in the kitchen and was recognized as Jin Zhen's. But Chenyu used fungus powder. What do you think of this? Do you think the person who poisoned Han and Yao was the same person?"
Feng Jinyuan shook his head: "No. Fungus Powder is too different from Soul-Separating Powder, and the means are too different. How can Tongshengxuan be as easy to get as Ruyiyuan? As for who did this, mother, the most urgent thing is Yao's side, and Han's matter can be put aside for now. Chenyu will be locked up in the Buddhist hall first, and let her calm down. The mansion has been in chaos recently, so it's better for her not to come out."
The old lady sighed and said nothing more.
An and Xiangrong provided clues and told Feng Yuheng that Meixiang's family lived in the northern suburbs of the capital. Tongshengxuan sent out batches of people and horses, and finally, two days later, Meixiang, like a lost dog, knelt in front of Feng Yuheng.
At this time, Feng Yuheng had just given Yao acupuncture, and Yao had woken up, but her condition was not very good, and she was basically on the verge of collapse. Feng Yuheng only dared to let her be awake for a maximum of two hours a day, and she had to sleep the rest of the time. Even so, she still asked people to wrap up all the edges and corners in the room with soft cloth, and move all fragile, hard, and sharp objects away, just in case Yao hurt herself again.
Meixiang's arrival made her smell a foul odor. She turned her head and saw the girl with disheveled hair, black mud on her face, and dirty water dripping from her body.
She waved her hands quickly: "Hurry up, carry her out of the yard for me."
Immediately, a servant came forward and dragged the person to the yard and threw him directly onto the blue brick floor. Meixiang cried out in pain, but received no sympathy.
Everyone in Tongshengxuan hated her because Yao was always kind to others and never treated them as servants. She would always ask the kitchen to make more delicious food for the maids in the yard. Such a good lady was harmed by someone, and they really wanted to skin Meixiang alive.
But everyone knows that Meixiang is just a girl, nothing more than a knife. The key is to find out the person who wields the knife behind her, because that person is the one who really deserves to die.
Not long after, Feng Yuheng finished taking care of Yao and came out. Ban Zou was telling her, "The person was fished out of the stinking ditch. She was running north at the time, but someone robbed her on the way. We rescued her and brought her back."
"It's not surprising that someone is robbing and killing you." Feng Yuheng walked up to Meixiang, glanced at her, and snorted coldly, "There are many people who want to kill you. Your employer must kill you to silence you. The people in the Feng family are afraid that your employer may come from the Feng Mansion, so they will also kill you. So Meixiang, you can't run away at all."
A maid brought out a chair for her to sit on. She sat down opposite Meixiang. They kept a distance of five steps between them, but she could still smell the stench.
Meixiang had some injuries on her body, although they were not serious, but she was covered in blood and looked a bit scary. She had lost her temper and no longer wanted to escape, because she knew that Feng Yuheng was right, there were too many people who wanted to kill her, and as long as she left the door of Tongshengxuan, she would definitely die. But if she stayed here... could she survive?
She looked up at Feng Yuheng, her eyes full of death, with almost no desire to survive.
At this time, another secret guard appeared in front of Feng Yuheng and whispered a few words in her ear. Feng Yuheng nodded with satisfaction, and the secret guard disappeared in a flash.
She then spoke again and asked Meixiang: "Tell me, who asked you to do this?"
Meixiang shook her head and said in a hoarse voice, "No one told me to do this. I wanted to do it myself." She was wet all over and the weather was cold, so she shivered as she spoke.
Feng Yuheng blinked and said to the servant, "Miss Meixiang is cold, go get a brazier."
Immediately, a servant brought the brazier to Meixiang's side. Huang Quan took the initiative to walk over, picked up a piece of the reddest charcoal with a long tong, and put it to Meixiang's mouth: "It's not a matter of your body being cold, but it's a matter of your heart being cold. Why don't you eat this charcoal to warm your heart, and maybe you will remember how good our young lady is to you."
Meixiang was so scared that she was trembling and wanted to hide backwards, but unfortunately, there were more people blocking her from behind.
Huang Quan was so angry that he stuffed the piece of charcoal into her chest. There was a "squeak" sound, and the sound of burning flesh could be heard, followed by Meixiang's scream.
But this girl was quite resilient. The charcoal burned the meat, but she didn't faint.
Huang Quan scolded her: "Back then, you were beaten by the old woman in Yulan Courtyard. If our second young lady hadn't arrived in time, you would have been beaten to death. But how did you repay her? Not only were you ungrateful, but you also used that kind of thing on our lady. Meixiang, Meixiang, even if I skin you alive today, you deserve it."
Meixiang looked at Feng Yuheng with a miserable face, and she felt that her eyes were so scary. She used to think that the look of the man who asked her to do something was the scariest in the world, but today she realized that the man was still inferior to the second young lady.
"You don't want to tell me, but you have your own reasons?" Feng Yuheng looked at her expressionlessly, the fierce look in his eyes was still there, and his voice was so cold that it seemed to come from hell.
But Meixiang spoke up and begged her, "Second Miss, Meixiang did everything. If you want to kill me, just go ahead. Meixiang can't live anyway. If anyone wants me dead, I can't escape at all."
Feng Yuheng asked her: "Since they want you to die, why do you still keep the secret for them? If you tell them, maybe I can save your life."
Meixiang smiled bitterly, "What's the point of me living? He has my mother, my father, and my two brothers in his hands. If I tell them, they will all die."
"Can they live if you don't say anything?" Feng Yuheng almost laughed out loud, "Talking about morality with such a person? Don't you think about it, you are dead, why does he keep your family? Is he waiting for your brother to grow up and learn kung fu to avenge you? I tell you, it's impossible, as soon as you die, your family will immediately follow you, and they may even be dead now."
Meixiang was stunned, and suddenly shouted: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! He promised me that as long as I succeeded in this, he would marry me. Even if the matter was exposed, as long as I kept my mouth shut, he would give my family a rich life. He promised me, he promised me!"
Huang Quan raised his hand and slapped him twice, "Are you sick? Do you believe this? From ancient times to the present, all those who use emotions to get people to do things have always used this set of words, and the words have never changed. If he really wants to marry you, will he control your family?"
Wang Chuan was also very angry and said loudly: "Mei Xiang, you are staying with the Third Miss in the Feng family, so you should be considered good. The Third Miss would never mistreat her servants. Why did she keep an ungrateful person like you?"
Huang Quan was standing close to her, and when Meixiang moved, she suddenly discovered that the girl had something around her neck. It was round and red, and seemed to be carved into the shape of a flower.
She was quick and pulled the pendant off. Meixiang screamed and tried to rush over to grab it, but Huang Quan's body movements were beyond her reach. Before she could touch the corner of Huang Quan's clothes, he had already flashed back to Feng Yuheng's side.
She handed the red jade pendant to Feng Yuheng: "Miss, take a look."
Feng Yuheng took it and looked at it. "Chicken Blood Jade?" Meixiang was just a maid, it was impossible for her to have the money to buy such a thing. She turned the pendant in her hand again, and suddenly narrowed her eyes and said subconsciously: "It's him..."
