Feng Yuheng's "It's him" scared Meixiang half to death. She clearly remembered that man once said that the jade flower was carved from the reddest part of chicken blood jade, and he carved it himself. There is only one in the world, no other.
Could it be possible... that I was recognized?
"Just for Xuan Tianye? Is it worth it?" A name came out clearly, Feng Yuheng stared straight into Mei Xiang's eyes, as if that look could see through, and immediately saw through Mei Xiang's heart.
She knew that she had made the right bet!
Meixiang subconsciously shook her head, not daring to believe it all, but she also understood that nothing could be hidden from the Second Miss, not her, and not even the Third Prince.
But……
"My family is all in his hands. If I tell them, they will all die." Meixiang could not kneel any longer and simply sat on the ground. "Second Miss, I gave you the Soul-Separating Powder. Please kill me!"
Feng Yuheng shook his head, "Do you know what kind of consequences the Soul-Separating Powder will have on people?"
Mei Xiang thought for a moment and said, "It is said that it is addictive, but it won't kill you. You will just think about eating it every day. Will it be alright if you eat it?"
Feng Yuheng was so angry that his heart was shaking. He suddenly left his seat and rushed forward. He stopped in front of Mei Xiang, took out the whip from his sleeve, and lashed her with two "snap" whips!
Meixiang screamed and fell to the ground. Two scars immediately appeared on her body. Her heavy winter clothes were torn and her skin and flesh were turned inside out. It was obvious how much strength Feng Yuheng had used. She almost fainted.
"You'll be fine after taking it?" Feng Yuheng kicked the man far away and said loudly, "What if I tell you that once you get addicted to that thing, you'll be like a madman after you stop taking it? What if I tell you that once you get addicted to that thing, you'll beat people and destroy things after you stop taking it? What if I tell you that once you get addicted to that thing, you'll die from blood vessels bursting all over your body after you stop taking it because you can't get the medicine?"
Meixiang was stunned, and subconsciously said: "No, it won't happen."
Feng Yuheng whipped out the long whip again, this time wrapping it around Meixiang's neck, pulling her over and then turning around and walking into the house. Meixiang was dragged to the ground by her, struggling like a dead dog.
But Feng Yuheng was not willing to let her go, and dragged her to Yao's bed in the room. Meixiang saw Yao lying there at a glance. In just a few days, she looked emaciated, lying there like a piece of paper, and her whole body was deflated. She was covered with a brocade quilt, but the scars on her neck, face, and forehead were so shocking. And this room, almost every place was wrapped with soft cloth, there were no chairs or tables in the room, and not even a vase could be seen.
Wang Chuan, who followed in, told her, "The second young lady gave Madam an anesthetic injection to let her sleep, but as soon as she wakes up, she will immediately go crazy and hurt herself." As she spoke, she took a few steps forward and lifted a corner of the quilt to reveal Yao's hand. Meixiang looked over and found that the hand was also wrapped in cloth. "You see, if the hand is not covered, Madam can scratch herself to death."
Huang Quan rushed forward and grabbed Meixiang's neck: "This is the Soul-Separating Powder you gave me. This is the Soul-Separating Powder you said would make you fine after taking it. Meixiang, you deserve to die!"
Meixiang was strangled to the point where she could hardly breathe. Her eyes were bulging out and she was about to die. Wangchuan then stopped Huangquan and said, "She can't die. The young lady is still useful."
Feng Yuheng snorted coldly, "Just strangle her to death like this, it's easy for her." After saying that, he moved the whip and dragged Meixiang's neck back to the yard.
Meixiang felt that her neck was broken and she was dead. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't breathe. It felt like her head was about to be strangled. She felt uncomfortable and painful.
Finally, the force on her neck eased, Feng Yuheng took back the whip, and she began to breathe heavily greedily. But the doubts and fears in her heart became more and more serious!
That's not right! The Third Prince said that Soul-Separating Powder would not kill anyone, not to mention that she only released a small amount a day. Why would Yao be like this? Could it be that... she was deceived?
"Second Miss!" Meixiang was finally able to speak. She quickly knelt down and crawled two steps forward. "Second Miss, I didn't know this would happen. He...he told me that it wouldn't kill anyone! I really didn't know this would happen!" Meixiang began to cry bitterly.
Feng Yuheng suddenly spoke again and told her: "Don't cry yet, look at a few things, and then you should really cry." After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands twice, and several guards outside the yard immediately carried four stretchers in and placed them all in front of Meixiang.
Meixiang was stunned at first, then she looked at the four single frames.
There were four people on the single frame, dead, a man, a woman, and two boys who looked no more than six or seven years old. The people were dug out of the soil, their bodies had rotted in many places, but their clothes were intact and their faces could still be clearly identified.
Meixiang was stunned when she saw the four people. She stood there in shock, her eyes wide open as if she had seen the most horrifying thing in the world. After almost half an incense stick of time, she finally reacted and rushed towards the corpses, crying loudly.
She cried for nearly two incense sticks, and Huang Quan was getting a little impatient. Suddenly, Meixiang raised her head from the corpse and stared at Feng Yuheng, gritting her teeth and saying, "Second Miss, how can you be so cruel? My parents and brothers didn't hurt anyone, why did you kill them?"
Feng Yuheng was amused and shook his head, saying, "You don't even have the most basic common sense. You don't know the true effect of the Soul-Separating Powder, and you can't even tell how long this person has been dead. With this IQ, you still want to harm others. You deserve to have your whole family killed."
Wang Chuan told her coldly, "Look carefully. Our people dug the person out of the ground and wrapped him in a torn mat without even a coffin. He's already rotten in the middle of winter, so he's been dead for at least a month. Think about it carefully. Our young lady didn't even know that Madam was poisoned a month ago, so how could she have harmed your whole family?"
Meixiang was stunned, and seemed to think that Wangchuan was right. Looking at the bodies of her family members, they did not look like they had just died in the past few days.
But she couldn't figure it out. If it wasn't Feng Yuheng, then who would it be... She suddenly shuddered, and that name and that person's appearance flashed through her mind. Every little detail about their acquaintance and later events flashed through her mind one by one.
Mei Xiang's breathing became more and more rapid. She couldn't believe this fact at all. But suddenly a secret guard appeared beside Feng Yuheng and told her: "We found the body when we were following the people from Prince Xiang's Mansion."
Meixiang completely collapsed!
Feng Yuheng waved his hand and asked someone to carry the body away again, then he said to Meixiang: "I can afford four coffins. As long as you tell the truth, I will bury you, and you can make amends for your mistakes, and I will spare your life."
Mei Xiang was in despair when she suddenly heard these words. She couldn't believe it for a moment. She stared at Feng Yuheng in a daze, unable to say a word.
Huang Quan was anxious and scolded her, "Are you stupid? The Second Miss said she could help bury your family and spare your life as long as you explain the whole story clearly! What, you don't want to live anymore, but you want your parents to be thrown into a mass grave?"
Meixiang shuddered, then reacted immediately, quickly shook her head, and then desperately kowtowed to Feng Yuheng.
"Okay, okay, stop talking!" Huang Quan really felt that this girl was too lucky. The lady was killed, it was not a big deal, but the second lady actually spared her. He had never seen such a kind lady.
Meixiang had long harbored hatred for the man for whom she had worked wholeheartedly, so she simply gritted her teeth and told him everything.
She said - "All this was done by the Third Prince. Every month when I received my monthly allowance, I would go out of the city and send the money back home to supplement the household expenses. About four months ago, when I left home, I was almost hit by a carriage, but was saved by the Third Prince. But at that time I didn't know that he was the Third Prince! Later, he often secretly sent people to send me some things, and I would meet him every time I left the house. He cared for me in every way until I fell in love with him, and then I knew his true identity. Later, he found out that Aunt An would make snacks every day and send them to Tongshengxuan for Madam Yao to eat, so he asked me to secretly mix the Soul-Separating Powder into it. I disagreed at first, but he said that after the matter was done, he would let me leave the Feng family and take me in. Even if that I still didn't agree, but he took my father to a separate courtyard, sent servants to take good care of him, and hired a teacher for my younger brother. My parents thought he was a good man and asked me to treat him well. I thought in my heart that he was controlling my lifeline, but I still held a glimmer of hope, hoping that he would take care of my family just because he liked me... Second Miss, I know I was wrong. This is all a huge scam. I am a fool. Not only did I harm Madam Yao, but I also killed my entire family. That day, there was no fruit in the mansion and no snacks could be made. I heard that Madam Yao had been clamoring for snacks since the night before. I knew it must be the effect of the soul-leaving fragments. I was scared and ran away. He said he would send someone to meet him, but I didn't expect that he would send someone to rob and kill me..."
Meixiang's story was finally over, and the truth behind Yao's poisoning was revealed. No one had expected that the Soul-Separating Powder had been administered so long ago, and everyone was upset for a while.
Especially Feng Yuheng, she was a doctor, and she was very careful to keep an eye on the movements in the mansion, but she didn't expect that someone would take advantage of the loophole right under her nose.
She closed her eyes slightly, and the anger in her heart was like a huge wave. Xuan Tianye, she was thinking, what would be the consequences if she killed him? The emperor could dislike the emperor's son, but if someone else touched him, even if that person was her, it would be a capital crime, right?
But if she doesn't kill him...how can she feel at ease?
Meixiang was still kneeling in the middle of the courtyard, looking at Feng Yuheng with eyes full of expectation. Her face was dead at first, but now it was filled with expectation for life.
"Second Miss..." Seeing Feng Yuheng remained silent for a long time, she called out tentatively, but saw that Feng Yuheng's eyes, which were originally slightly closed, suddenly opened.
Feng Yuheng stood up and walked towards Meixiang step by step, until he stopped in front of her, then stopped and looked at her coldly. After a while, he said, "Tie the person up for me, and let's go to Feng Mansion. The maid of Feng Mansion, even if she dies, cannot dirty our yard."
Mei Xiang was shocked, and looked at Feng Yuheng in disbelief, and asked in horror: "Didn't the Second Miss say... to spare my life?"
"Spare me?" She sneered, half bent over and stared into Meixiang's eyes, saying word by word: "When has my words ever counted?"
... The daughter of a genius doctor
