Reborn: Revenge of the Concubine's Daughter

Chapter 194 Feng Yang strolled and enjoyed the moon

As soon as Madam Luo heard this, she got panicked and quickly glared at Pan Jingyang. She said, “Hurry up! Go to Nanyuan Medicine Pavilion and ask all the doctors to come here at once! Then go to Doctor Ma’s and Doctor Wu’s home and ask them to come here, too! Let them take all the medical books about leprosy here!” Luo Chuangu should get stone powder that contained leprosy virus. How to do! What an unlucky day! After Yi’s illness, even Luo Chuangu might lose his life!

However, the one who broke the stone lock was Yang. Whether considering the relationship with Feng Jiugu or the amazing reputation of Feng’s Family in the past 2 years, Madam Luo couldn’t accuse Feng Yang. Even if Luo Chuangu was really infected with the disease and died, Madam Luo couldn’t ask Feng Yang to compensate. Hatefully, Biddy Wen was to blame. Since she appeared, bad things happened frequently.

Now it seemed that the stone lock was really as same as what Biddy Wen said–with deadly poisonous snakes, which could prove that Yi was innocent. Yi didn’t bribe Biddy Wen to lie. Well, were Biddy Wen’s last words true or false? Although Sun Meiniang claimed that she was wronged, how could outsiders know the tattoo on her legs?

Madam Luo pondered. Her son, Luo Chuangu, had abnormal expression just now, and he confirmed the affair between Sun Meiniang and the servant without asking even a question. Could it not be the first time that this kind of clue had appeared? Could something happen before, which made Luo Chuangu feel that Sun Meiniang was unfaithful? But Luo Chuangu was cowardly, while Sun Meiniang had a silver tongue. A few words of Sun Meiniang could deceive Luo Chuangu and keep him silent. So, Luo Chuangu was abnormally excited after hearing the affair of Sun Meiniang this time?

The more Madam Luo thought, the more she felt that was possible. In this way, it could explain why her gentle and taciturn son suddenly became crazy and was different from before, which was really unusual...

In this way, Madam Luo’s eyes toward Sun Meiniang had become unprecedented harsh. How much sincerity did this woman have in treating her son? Just now, Luo Chuangu asked 2 guards about his doubts and couldn’t get an answer. He just asked Sun Meiniang one more sentence, but Sun Meiniang was very impatient and lost her temper. In particular, they were being in front of outsiders. After they returned home and closed the door, how terrible Sun Meiniang’s attitude toward her son could be!

On the other side, He Danggui didn’t notice Madam Luo’s expression. Just after the white powder flew all over the sky, she found a few poisonous snakes on the ground. So, she pointed them to Sun Meiniang and others. Even if she could not defeat them, she would frighten them. Sure enough, at the moment, Sun Meiniang and her servant had been scared out of their souls. They quickly scrambled away and kept away from those snakes. While they tried their best to shake off the poisonous powder on their bodies, the agates and jadeites on Sun Meiniang’s head fell to the ground and many valuable jewelries were broken.

Although He Danggui enjoyed watching it, she also got angry secretly. How could Bai Yangbai really put poisonous snakes on the lock? She thought, “You even schemed my life, didn’t you? That’s unexpected. I regard you as my best friend.”

Madam Luo suddenly looked at He Danggui and said in a softer voice, “Yi, it seems that I wronged you. Just now I didn’t give you a chance to explain and let you wear the stone lock. I was wrong. Now the lock has been removed. Just tell me if you have any grievances. I’ll help you!”

He Danggui realized that Madam Luo wanted her to be a gun to beat and test Sun Meiniang, just like Luo Chuangu did before.

It was just what He Danggui wanted, so she seized this opportunity to say, “Grandmother, I’m really wronged. I knew nothing about Concubine Hua, but I was charged with poisoning. Later, Administrator Ding ran to torture room and found a strange old woman that I had never seen before. That woman put a big lock with a hundred jin on me, which was stained with poisonous insects and snakes. I was afraid and painful at that time. Then I did not know what kind of dispute she had with Second Aunt and others. She said that Second Aunt was going to crush me with the lock and let me shut up completely. She wanted to suppress the crime of murdering Concubine Hua. As the victim, I had not asked about the situation, but Second Aunt, the initiator, took the lead in making a fuss. She said that I bribed Biddy Wen and we conspired to frame her up, which was extremely ridiculous...”

“You said who was the initiator? Don’t frame up, He Danggui!” Ding Rong’s wife yelled while patting the poisonous powder on her sleeves.

Madam Luo glanced at Ding Rong’s wife sullenly and said in a cold voice, “Don’t interrupt her and let her finish what she wanted to say. Since I gave you a chance to speak just now, I should treat her equally and let her tell her grievances.” Now Madam Luo really felt that Sun Meiniang and her servant were guilty so that they deliberately stopped Yi speaking, which was really questionable.

Feng Yang gallantly served up an old-fashioned chair and held a cup of steaming black tea. He grinned and said, “This tea was taken from the next-door room, without a drop of poisonous powder. You can drink a little to moisten your throat. It will bruise your throat to say such grievances. I have experience in this kind of thing.”

He Danggui nodded to thank him and drank half a cup. Then she continued to pour out her heart bitterly, “Second Aunt and others said that they were not familiar with Biddy Wen. Was I acquainted with that old woman? That old woman was the one that Administrator Ding called for. When she got to main hall, she locked me up. How could I bribe a stranger that I had never met? Administrator Ding said that it was a lock with only 10 jin, but even a fool could see that people would be killed by it. At that time, Biddy Wen said that the lock was stained with smallpox virus, but Administrator Ding said in surprise, ‘Didn’t you said that it was leprosy virus?’ It could be seen that she knew that the lock was stained with leprosy virus, but she still let me wear the lock. Didn’t she want to kill me? In this way, Biddy Wen said nothing wrong. Second Aunt undoubtedly wanted to kill me, and the reason was really meaningful!”

Feng Yang nodded and said, “It was reasonable. Although I didn’t know what happened, I do know that you stand aloof from worldly success. You never hurt others, but others always hurt you.”

Sun Meiniang’s blood suddenly rushed to the top of her head. She sneered and said, “Pan Jingyang has gone, but Feng Yang has arrived. You have so many helpers, He Danggui. It’s a matter of fact that you changed medicine to poison Concubine Hua. At least 10 people saw that you had changed Concubine Hua’s medicinal pack. You said you were wronged. Weren’t all those people blind together?”

He Danggui drooped her eyes and did not say anything. Her statement had only a point that weren’t tenable. And she also couldn’t answer this only question. Because she did change Concubine Hua’s medicinal pack. She secretly added a few herbs to neutralize cold property of the original herbs which could let Concubine Hua miscarry. The original herbs were given by Sun Meiniang. However, He Danggui could not explain in this way. On the one hand, no one knew that she was well versed in pharmacology. On the other hand, no one would believe that she had done such a good deed in silence, which was just like that no one would believe that Sun Meiniang had been poisoning Concubine Hua’s fetus.

He Danggui was sure that she changed the medicine covertly. In theory, no one would witness this incident. However, Sun Meiniang brought out more than 10 witnesses. It seemed that Sun Meiniang had made a trap early and laid ambush for her. Ah, it was a good plot.

Seeing that He Danggui who was garrulous just now became mute, Sun Meiniang was very complacent. When she was about to interrogate He Danggui further, Feng Yang suddenly analyzed in a deep voice, “What you saw may not be true. I absolutely believe in the character of Sister He. Everyone needs a reason when doing anything. I don’t know what benefits could she get from hurting Concubine Hua. On the other hand, if Concubine Hua and her baby fall ill, who will be stoked secretly? Even if you didn’t understand it, you can compare it with the affair of Run Xiang.”

“Childe Feng, how did you know about the affair of Concubine Hua’s baby and Run Xiang?” He Danggui was surprised and asked the question that others also wanted to ask.

Feng Yang answered calmly, “The moon seemed very nice tonight, so I walked under the sky and enjoyed the moon. And then I stepped into your mansion. I thought Madam Luo always loves me a lot. Even if occasionally I take a rest in your mansion uninvitedly, she will not blame me for lack of rules. Therefore, I lay on the roof of side hall to sleep and enjoy the moon. But I was woken up by your voice and heard some key words in your conversation.”

The words were quite in line with Feng Yang’s behavior, so He Danggui and Madam Luo immediately believed him. By the way, He Danggui said, “Childe Feng’s analysis is right. I’m not familiar with Concubine Hua. Only once in the garden, her black cat suddenly jumped on me. I was frightened and pushed the cat carelessly. The cat fell into the lake and drowned before someone arrived to rescue it. I felt so sorry, so I bought a new cat and visited Concubine Hua to apologize. But Concubine Hua was too sad to meet me. Since then I have never seen her again. I did offend Concubine Hua, so she was dissatisfied with me. But I didn’t have any hatred for her. What benefit would I get if something happens to her baby?”

The words that He Danggui said were almost right. But in fact, she didn’t control her power well, and the cat was half dead before it drowned. So, He Danggui felt a little sorry for this. She held some meaning of compensation and changed medicine for Concubine Hua in secret to keep her baby.

But she didn’t expect that Concubine Hua wronged a kind-hearted person. It didn’t matter that Concubine Hua didn’t appreciate her, but under Sun Meiniang’s tough threat, Concubine Hua should choose to make friends with a tiger. Knowing that the real murderer was Sun Meiniang, Concubine Hua still lied with eyes opened and cooperated with Sun Meiniang to falsely accuse her. Once He Danggui only said that Concubine Hua had no brain. Now it seemed that Concubine Hua was really mindless. How many years could she live under Sun Meiniang’s control?

Feng Yang was surprised and said, “Oh, the hatred just originated from a cat. Concubine Hua is too petty, isn’t she? If she could have hatred to kill people only because of a cat, how much resentment she would have when she usually ate, dressed and grabbed her husband. According to her logic, she had been cut to death more than 10 times. How could she testify against you!”

He Danggui chimed in with him, “Thank you for being so outspoken, Childe Feng. I think so. I’m so cautious and have to say “Amitabha” in the mansion in case of offending others. How could I hurt others initiatively? Once, when I was sitting in the Tao Yao Yard and embroidering, Second Aunt brought a group of people with knives and sticks to search for something in my yard and made a mess. The wall was also pushed down. Didn’t I admit that I was unlucky? And since then, didn’t I become more cautious?”

After hearing this, Feng Yang felt sympathy and sighed, “I didn’t expect that you should live such a miserable life in Luo’s Mansion. I’m so sad to hear that. I admired you for a long time. Originally, I wanted to ask Madam Luo for you when you grew up. Now, I can’t wait any longer. Otherwise, when I come to see you next time, you will be gnawed by Second Aunt and others. They will not leave any residue of you. Sister He, go with me now.”

Then, he stared at the eyes of the beauty in front of him. She was stunned at first, and then was like to eat him in the next moment. He immediately felt in a good mood. He thought, “You schemed me every time before. It wasn’t expected that you were schemed by me this time, girl.”
