When they saw this, the crowd was stunned. They started moving further away from the dead man and said, “He ate that Marrow Cleansing Pill.”

“That pill really was poisoned. He’s been poisoned to death.”

“Feng Tianlan is an evil woman, adding poison to that Marrow Cleansing Pill.”

“She’s just jealous of Second Miss, so why did she take it out on us? She’s such a malicious woman, and she deserves to be executed.”

Once someone accused Feng Tianlan of adding the poison, everybody agreed. They knew that nothing good could come from offending Feng Xiupei.

Feng Tianlan chortled when she heard these words. “I didn’t touch the pill.”

The crowd was stunned into silence as they started to recall what had happened. They remembered that Feng Tianlan had only touched the brocade box and not the pill—so did Feng Xiupei add the poison?

They looked at Feng Xiupei suspiciously. Since the pill had initially been intended for Feng Tianlan, they wondered whether Feng Xiupei had planned to poison her sister, but, unfortunately, someone else had consumed it.

Feng Xiupei saw that the situation was going awry, and so she immediately bit her lip, apologizing profusely between sobs.

“I’m so sorry…it’s all my fault. My sister wasn’t the one who added the poison, so please don’t blame her…it’s me…I’m the one who is jealous of my sister, so I added the poison. I didn’t mean to harm anyone else…I’m sorry. I’m so sorry…”

If someone in training had eaten that Marrow Cleansing Pill, the only effect would have been the destruction of that person’s cinnabar field. But the poison could kill someone who wasn’t in training. She tried her best to convince the crowd that she hadn’t intended to murder anybody because that would damage her reputation.

Feng Xiuyu angrily marched to the front and said, “Sis, why are you even apologizing? You’re not the one who added the poison. Why would you be so jealous of her that you would need to poison her in public? All it takes is one flick of your finger, and she’d be dead!”
