"Do you know who poisoned Mrs Ning?" Feng Wu asked.
Granny Qu looked conflicted. She still hadn't figured it out yet.
Feng Wu smiled. "I didn't tell you before, but Mrs Ning is suffering from a chronic disease. It didn't happen before, but it triggered after the baby was born. If I'm guessing right, that pot of pale pink tulip pollen in the tent —"
Granny Qu's eyes lit up!
She finally understood the crux of the matter!
"Xiaojing brought the tulips back from outside and put them on Madam Ning's bed. She said that the scent of the tulips would help Madam Ning and the babies sleep better. Indeed, the babies stopped making trouble after they got the tulips …" Granny Qu's mind wandered. "Xiaojing isn't a servant. She bought her from outside. If there's anyone who wants Madam Ning and the babies to die, it has to be Concubine Chu!"
Feng Wu knew that this was Mrs Ning's family business, and she was only pointing it out for Feng Xun's sake.
Handing the two tiger cubs to Feng Xun, Feng Wu was about to go back into the tent, when she heard a cry from inside.
"Not good! Not good! Madam is unconscious! Someone come! Help — "
Feng Wu darted a look at Granny Qu.
Granny Qu gritted her teeth. "That's Xiaojing!"
Feng Wu nodded, then lifted the curtain and walked in.
Inside the tent, Mrs Ning's eyes were closed. Her face was pale and her breathing was weak. She looked like she was dead.
Seeing Feng Wu come in, Mrs Yan rose to her feet in a hurry and looked at Feng Wu with pleading eyes.
Not long ago, Mrs Yan had been mocking and disdainful of Feng Wu, but now, Feng Wu was her last hope.
"Miss Feng … can you help her? Can you save her? "Madam Yan's eyes were filled with pleading.
Yan Yan bit her lower lip and lowered her head.
Feng Wu didn't have time to answer Mrs Yan's question. She only told Feng Xun, "Get Qiuling here. I need her help."
"Alright!"
Feng Xun left in a hurry!
Because of Feng Wu's great achievements, the mayor of Wanping Town had offered the most spacious tent to Feng Wu's second wife as soon as the tents were set up.
Luckily, Feng Wu had come prepared. She had asked her mother to wear a black veil hat to cover her stunning face, so they didn't cause any trouble.
While Qiuling and the others were anxiously waiting for him to disappear, Feng Xun rushed in, grabbed Qiuling, and said to Mrs Yan, "Lend me Qiuling!"
After that, she dragged Qiuling away!
Qiuling had been avoiding Feng Xun all this time.
Because back at Yunlai Tower, Feng Wu had played the role of the ugly girl, and she had played the ugly girl's maid.
Later, her mistress had warned Qiuling over and over again not to let Feng Xun know who she was. Hence, Qiuling had been avoiding Feng Xun these days.
Grabbing Qiuling, Feng Xun saw that the girl was as timid as a quail with her head lowered. She didn't dare meet his eyes at all.
"Am I that scary?" Involuntarily, Feng Xun rubbed his handsome face. He was so handsome.
Qiuling kept her head down and didn't say a word.
