C13 (2/2)
Qin Wu was kneeling on the ground, crying pitifully. Her two cheeks were already much better because she needed your treatment, and now that they were slightly red and swollen, it made her look really pitiful. However, Qin Feng was sitting in her seat with a cold expression. Not to mention panicking, she didn't even seem to be feeling any guilt at all.
”You unfilial daughter, kneel down!” Qin Yi said to Qin Feng.
”Father came very fast.” Qin Feng sat in her seat, took a sip of the tea beside him, and said slowly: ”Little sister's previous leg had just finished acting, and father has already come.”
”Stop slandering people!” Qin Wu said loudly, ”When did I act like this? You were the one who did this to me!”
”Heh, what a joke.” Qin Feng sneered, ”Where is the evidence?”
”I was sitting here for a while before I was poisoned. If it wasn't you, who else would it be?” Qin Wu said.
”How can I believe a one-sided speech?” Qin Feng looked at Qin Wu in disdain and said, ”According to what you said, you only got poisoned after sitting at my place for a while. Then, may I ask, why is it that I, who am in the same room as you, am not poisoned? ”
”If you poison me, would you harm yourself?” Qin Wu said.
”The only way to cause a person to be poisoned is to spread it through the air.” Qin Feng said, ”The only possibility is that the incense was poisoned with the Seven Stars Grass. Little Sister Wu'er, tell me, am I right?”
”Yes, that's right.” Somehow, when she saw Qin Feng's wise eyes, she didn't feel flustered at all.
”That's strange.” Qin Feng said, ”That day, I did not know that you would come. ”If I were to order 'Seven Stars Grass' every day, then why is it that no one else is fine? But coincidentally, something happened to you?”
”I …” Qin Wu was rendered speechless by Qin Feng.
”But, speaking of this, there is indeed Seven Stars Grass in my room.” Qin Feng smirked and continued speaking, ”If Little Sister Wu'er were to accidentally get poisoned, that would be acceptable.”
”Yes, I was poisoned because I touched elder sister's thing.” Qin Wu immediately said, ”Younger sister, I was just curious for a moment, I didn't think that elder sister would actually want to kill me.”
”You vicious woman.” Lin Ru wiped away her tears, ”Wu'er is your sister after all, how can you treat her like this?”
Qin Feng sneered, then took out a sandalwood box from the drawer. She opened it gently, and found an exquisite hairpin inside.
Qin Feng said, ”This hairpin was bestowed by the Queen. There are a few types of precious jade on it, if exposed to the air for a long time, they will lose their original luster. It's not that Big Sis wanted to place such a highly toxic substance in my room, it's just that this was the last time at empress, I can't neglect it. I usually keep this box in the drawer. Other than me, no one else would touch the contents inside, so I didn't tell anyone that there was the juice of the Seven Stars Grass on it. I just, I didn't expect that my sister would actually touch my things. ”
”I, I didn't …” Just as Qin Wu was about to deny it, she was interrupted.
”I also put the juice of the Seven Stars Grass in the other box.” Qin Feng said, ”Just that in the box, there is a piece of jade bestowed by the Emperor. If father wishes to see it, daughter will take it out now for father to see. ”
Qin Wu was speechless. If she took it out now and took out the jade pendant, the crime of stealing would be proven.
Once Qin Feng said this, not only did his expression change, Qin Yi's expression became ugly too. Originally, he had only wanted to seek justice for his second daughter after seeing her daughter being wronged. She hadn't thought that she would suffer all of this because she had made a bad impression in front of her eldest daughter.
Qin Wu's face also turned pale, she couldn't understand why such a situation would suddenly turn around and cause her, from a victim, to reap what she sowed, but she had to admit that she did touch the jade pendant, because if Qin Feng said that the jade pendant was gone, then she would really be hiding the truth.
”Old master, madam, forgive this servant!” Suddenly, an older servant girl rushed in, knelt in front of them, and said while kowtowing, ”The Seven Stars Grass is my servant. This servant saw that some of Madam's jewelry had lost some of its splendor, so I asked Madam for help with it. But who would have thought that the second young miss would accidentally run into him? This servant deserves to die! ”
”Someone, come!” Qin Yi said with a cold face, ”I don't need such a person to drive her out of my General's Estate.”
”My lord, please forgive me. My lady, please forgive me!” The servant girl wailed as she was dragged down.
Lin Ru and Qin Wu heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, they had found a scapegoat.
”This matter has nothing to do with your sister.” Qin Yi said to Qin Wu, ”In the future, don't think too highly of your sister. You are a blood sister after all, don't you know that you have to love each other?”
”Daughter understands, father.” Qin Wu lowered her head, responded, walked to Qin Feng, and was about to kneel down, ”Big sister, little sister has wronged big sister indiscriminately, I hope big sister can forgive me!” She was sure that in front of so many people, Qin Feng would not allow herself to kneel down, in case it fell into her hands.
Qin Feng did not make her kneel down either, ”Little sister, you are right. We are a family, why would big sister blame little sister.” Qin Feng moved as if she was about to support Qin Wu, but somehow, the ground beneath her feet slipped, causing her entire person to fall down, and fiercely press her down. Qin Wu's head hit the ground heavily, making her beautiful to the point of fainting.
”Little sister, little sister, are you alright? Don't scare me, I didn't do it on purpose!” Qin Feng pretended to be anxious and shook Qin Wu with all her might. In reality, she had secretly pinched Qin Wu a few times, and even intentionally knocked her head on the ground a few times, ”I don't know who pulled at big sister just now, until her legs became unsteady, and she bumped into little sister.”
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Qin Yi's eyes dimmed. It was not as if he did not know about some of the things that were happening in the Inner Palace. He just didn't want to pursue the matter from before. It was just that she did not expect Qin Wu to be so daring, to actually think of doing something small in front of him, and ended up harming him.
Qin Yi glanced at Lin Ru, snorted, and turned to leave Qin Feng's room.
Lin Ru carried Qin Wu and hurriedly went to the imperial physician once again.
The corner of Qin Feng's mouth raised into a ridiculing smile. Today, it was really going to be an incomparably interesting show.
