Chapter 432: Not Harming Her, But Saving Her
"That's not true. My brother is my only relative in this world. How could I not care about him?" Feng Mingyue was very emotional and raised her voice instantly, as if this would make her words more credible.
Little did she know that Feng Mingyang had already been disappointed by her performance.
His voice also turned colder: "Did you add something to the medicinal wine you gave me?"
"Ah? Medicinal wine? Why did brother suddenly mention that medicinal wine?" Feng Mingyue's eyes dodged left and right, obviously feeling a little guilty.
"I'm asking you, did you add something in it!" Feng Mingyang grabbed her wrist, stared at her, and asked loudly.
"Brother, don't be like this, you scared me." Feng Mingyue's face was pale, but she knew that Feng Mingyang was reluctant to touch her, so she calmed down.
"Something was added to the medicinal wine. They are all very precious medicinal herbs, including Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng and deer antler. What's wrong with the medicinal wine?"
Feng Mingyue blinked innocently.
"Feng Mingyue, look me in the eye and answer me, did you add anything you shouldn't have added to that medicinal wine?"
"No!"
"No! Then why are the symptoms after I drank that medicinal wine the same as the Five Stones Powder the princess mentioned? Why am I addicted to that medicinal wine?"
"Brother, what are you talking about? How can you doubt me, your own sister who has been dependent on you since childhood, that I poisoned you?" Feng Mingyue pinched her palm hard with her fingertips, forcing herself to squeeze out a few tears.
His eyes were full of accusations, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
She also bit Feng Mingyang back: "Brother, you make me so sad. You actually believed the words of a strange woman and didn't believe me, your own sister.
"You know full well that Princess Yunfu and I have a bad relationship. She must be jealous that you, brother, dote on me, so she used this incident to frame me and turn us siblings against each other. That must be the case!"
"Cui, Patriarch Cui, please judge for me."
Feng Mingyue thought she had acted well, but she didn't know that Cui Chongzheng saw through her fake crying at a glance.
He had been out gaining experience since he was in his teens and had seen countless people. How could he not see through Feng Mingyue's clumsy tricks?
"Feng Mingyue, this concerns your brother's life! If you still have a conscience, tell the truth. The princess said that as long as this matter is thoroughly investigated, she will help save your brother's life."
But Feng Mingyue displayed the selfishness of human nature to the fullest, without even blinking an eye: "I didn't do it, why are you forcing me to confess! Why would I harm my own brother who has always loved me?"
Even an outsider like Cui Chongzheng could see that she was acting. How could Feng Mingyang, her brother who had watched her grow up, not see that she was lying?
Feng Mingyang was extremely disappointed with his sister who was full of lies, but he still said calmly: "Okay, I believe you. There is no need to mention this matter anymore. Let's recuperate in the Cui family's villa for a few days and then we can go home."
——
Has Feng Mingyang given up?
Of course not.
On the way out of the Ghost Prison, Cui Chongzheng suggested that if Feng Mingyue refused to admit that she had poisoned the medicinal wine, Feng Mingyang should pretend to believe her first.
Once she lets her guard down, some things will naturally be exposed.
According to Yun Fu, this Wu Shi San is addictive, so Feng Mingyue will definitely not be able to help but continue taking it.
As long as they catch her on the spot, she will have no choice but to admit it.
Feng Mingyang dotes on his sister very much, but he also knows that doing this is not harming her, but saving her.
Feng Mingyang didn't want to plot against his sister, and on the way back he still held a glimmer of hope, hoping that Feng Mingyue would admit her mistake.
However, he was disappointed in the end.
After the two left.
Cui Chongzheng gave an order to the guards and maids in Feng Mingyue's courtyard, asking them to keep a close eye on Feng Mingyue and pay attention to her every move in the next few days.
Report immediately if she behaves abnormally, such as taking alcohol, or sending everyone away and closing the door to stay alone.
Feng Mingyue really didn't have much brains and had no idea that she was being watched by so many eyes.
I still do my own thing.
There is no restraint in his actions.
——
Two days later.
The person assigned to Feng Mingyue discovered Feng Mingyue's abnormality and immediately passed the news to Cui Chongzheng.
It turned out that Feng Mingyue had asked her maid to get a jar of wine from the kitchen in broad daylight between lunch and dinner, and told them not to tell anyone.
She said that she just had a drinking urge and wanted to drink, but her brother Feng Mingyang was always controlling her, so she had to do it secretly.
But only Feng Mingyang knew that his sister actually didn't like drinking.
I have never cared about this matter of hers.
"Let's go to her yard."
Feng Mingyang made up his mind and took the first unsteady step.
A group of people came to the courtyard where Feng Mingyue lived.
Only then did he realize that Feng Mingyue had locked the door from the inside. Feng Mingyang slammed the door hard: "Feng Mingyue, open the door! What are you doing in there!"
"Brother?" Feng Mingyue panicked when she heard his voice. Why did her brother come here suddenly? Was he here to arrest her?
No, she absolutely couldn't let her brother find these powders.
Feng Mingyue hurriedly grabbed the purse on the table, which still contained the remaining medicine powder.
But she didn't know where to hide the powder, and it seemed that no matter where she hid it, it would not be safe.
Feng Mingyue was so panicked that she made up her mind to pour all the remaining medicine powder into the wine glass, stirred it a few times with her fingers, and drank it all in one gulp without caring whether it dissolved in the wine.
In this way, my brother won’t be able to find evidence.
At the door.
Seeing that she was reluctant to open the door, Feng Mingyang guessed that she must be trying to destroy the evidence in the house.
Then he asked Cui Chongzheng to give the order: "Brother Cui, let someone break the door!"
The tightly closed door was pushed open by the guards.
When everyone rushed into the house, they saw Feng Mingyue sitting at the table, sweat all over her forehead and an extremely nervous expression.
Perhaps it was because she had just taken a large amount of medicine, Feng Mingyue's face was flushed and she seemed a little drunk.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"What are you doing?" Feng Mingyang took a few steps forward, stared at her and asked.
"I didn't do anything. I was just feeling depressed and wanted to drink some wine to relieve my boredom." Feng Mingyue smiled calmly.
But her relaxed and slightly complacent smile did not last long, and the effect of the medicine in her body surged up with great force.
An ordinary dose of medicine will only make people feel refreshed, comfortable all over, and slightly warm.
But Feng Mingyue had just taken a huge dose of Wu Shi San and committed suicide.
The drug was so potent that the body, already slowly being eroded by the poison, couldn't possibly withstand it.
