"Elder madam." The servant of Shu Ya courtyard was the first to speak, "A servant came from Tong Sheng pavilion. She said that she was looking for concubine mother An."
Looking for An shi?
Everyone was stunned. Looking at An shi, they were also a little confused. Instead, they looked at Feng Yu Heng and saw that she had been frowning the entire time. An shi's heart went "thunk," as she quickly asked the servant: "What is it?"
The servant from Tong Sheng pavilion took a step forward and very urgently asked her: "Has concubine mother finished making the desserts for today?"
An shi was startled then said: "I still have not found the time to make them. Why are you in such a rush?"
The servant said: "Concubine mother did not send many desserts yesterday. After madam ate them, she was still talking about them late into the night. She also did not sleep well. This morning, she was hoping that you would be able to send some pear cakes. "
Everyone laughed upon hearing this. Fen Dai was the one that could not hold back and rushed to say: "She really is promising. She chased all the way to elder madam's place to ask for food!"
The matriarch was also puzzled and felt a little unhappy. Yao shi was a divorced woman. An shi sending desserts was already quite good. Why was it that after sending them a little later, she still came to ask for them? Directly going to An shi's courtyard was fine. After all, they had a good relationship. But chasing all the way to her place, this was not just a matter of etiquette. It was as if she did not take this side seriously at all!
She felt unhappy and wanted to say a few words; however, at this time, she heard Feng Yu Heng say: "Concubine mother An's desserts are indeed very delicious. Fourth sister's words have reminded me. Concubine mother An, remember to send some of those delicious desserts to concubine mother Han later. "
An shi did not understand what was going on at all, but since Feng Yu Heng had spoken, she could not ignore it, thus she nodded, "Then this concubine will send some to Yu Lan courtyard today."
While she spoke, Feng Yu Heng carefully observed her expression but did not notice anything strange. Looking at Xiang Rong, she also had a confused expression. She began to think to herself.
Before the new year, she had noticed that Yao shi's situation was not quite right. She had even changed out all of the chefs in Tong Sheng pavilion because of this. She had even investigated all of the servants at night, but she could not find any clues.
Unexpectedly, the only thing she hadn't investigated was the snacks sent by Madam An.
When Fen Dai heard that she would be sending pastries to Yu Lan courtyard, she immediately refused, "Concubine mother does not eat the things that are sent by anyone. She only eats the things sent by the manor. Concubine mother An, there is no need to waste your time."
When the matriarch heard them arguing, she became even more annoyed. She dismissed An shi and said, "You should quickly go back!"
"Wait!" Feng Yu Heng suddenly said coldly. Then she asked the girl from Tong Sheng pavilion: "Is mother in a hurry?"
The little girl said, "It's very urgent, very urgent. Madam didn't eat breakfast today and was waiting for the desserts. Before this servant came out, Madam smashed a vase in the room because the desserts didn't arrive. "
Feng Yu Heng immediately stood up. A fierce look appeared in her eyes, as she glared in An shi and Xiang Rong's direction.
At this time, everyone in the Feng manor felt that something was off. Kang Yi was the first to stand up and asked the girl from Tong Sheng pavilion: "Has your madam shown any signs of being irritated?"
The girl said: "She has. She was unable to sleep last night. When she woke up this morning, she seemed to be even more anxious."
"Then what about her other actions? For example, is there anywhere that she feels uncomfortable? Or is she dizzy? "
The girl thought a little then shook her head, "No, she has been quite spirited recently. It seems that she is much better than before the new year."
Kang Yi was extremely shocked. Turning around, she said to the matriarch: "Not good, I fear that there is something similar to spirit-altering drug inside."
The matriarch was given a fright, "Soul-altering drug?"
The others were also dazed. Soul-altering drug was an anesthetic and psychotropic drug that could cause a person to become addicted. If it was taken for a long period of time, it could indeed make a person appear a hundred times more spirited, but once the drug was stopped, that person would become extremely irritated. It was even possible that they would be unable to endure and do things that would harm others or themselves.
The matriarch realized the severity of the situation. Looking at Feng Yu Heng's face that was becoming colder and colder, she was a little afraid. Thinking again, she immediately glared in An shi's direction "An shi! How could there be spirit-altering drug in the desserts you made? "She had to immediately throw An shi out to prevent Feng Yu Heng from going crazy and blaming the entire Feng manor.
An shi was also dazed! Kneeling on the ground, however, she was not facing the matriarch. Instead, she faced Feng Yu Heng: "Second young miss, this concubine really did not do it! Not to mention something like spirit-altering drug being difficult to obtain, but even if this concubine had it, it would not be used on elder sister Yao! "
Xiang Rong also kneeled. Looking at Feng Yu Heng, she said: "Every time concubine mother makes desserts, I am there with her. Sometimes it's pears, and sometimes it's grapes. In short, whenever there is any fresh fruit in the manor, it is Xiang Rong who is responsible for turning it into mush. We just thought that lady Yao would like to eat it, so we put our heart into making it. We have never added anything."
Feng Yu Heng furrowed her brow and pondered for a long time. At the same time, she carefully observed the two's expressions and actions. She even noticed that their pupils had constricted. Her many years of experience told her that this matter was unrelated to An shi and Xiang Rong.
She took a deep breath and said: "Come back with me to take a look."
"Alright." An shi quickly pulled Xiang Rong and stood up, "If there really is a problem with the desserts, regardless of whether or not it was done by us, this concubine will not avoid responsibility. After all, the desserts were made by us."
Kang Yi also spoke up: "Let's all go over and take a look. Staying here is also because we are worried and anxious."
"Right!" The matriarch also stood up, "I will also go over and take a look.
Feng Yu Heng looked at them for a while and did not refuse, only saying: "Tong Sheng pavilion has never liked having too many people. Mother and grandmother can go over and take a look. There is no need for anyone else." After saying this, she began to walk away.
An shi and Xiang Rong immediately followed behind her. Kang Yi also helped the matriarch out of the room. At the same time, she informed granny Zhao: "Quickly prepare a chair for mother."
Fen Dai and Jin Zhen were also very curious, but Feng Yu Heng had sealed this topic. They also knew that Tong Sheng pavilion was a place where no one was allowed to enter. If Feng Yu Heng became angry, she would not even recognize her own family. They did not dare go over and provoke her.
Feng Yu Heng used her fastest speed to return to Tong Sheng pavilion. The others could only jog along behind her, but they were still left far behind.
When they entered Yao shi's courtyard, they heard a hysterical shout come from inside "Quickly go and get me some desserts! Quickly go! " The voice was abnormally shrill, and her throat was hoarse. It was completely different from Yao shi's usual gentle personality.
Immediately following this, there was the sound of things being thrown one after another. She figured that the things in the room had already been thrown out by Yao shi.
There was a group of servants blocking the entrance. They were all very anxious, but they could not enter the room at all. The things that Yao shi had thrown would occasionally fly out. Feng Yu Heng saw that two of the servants already had bruises on their foreheads.
Upon seeing her return, the servants finally let out a sigh of relief. They all ran over to report the situation: "Young miss, you finally returned. Madam has already been thrown out for the entire morning. Quickly take a look at what exactly happened, alright?"
There were also servants that expressed their doubts: "How delicious were those desserts? How could madam become like this after not eating them for a day? "
At this time, Wang Chuan, who had been left in Liang Xin pavilion, also heard the news and rushed back. She had received the news later than Shu Ya courtyard, but fortunately, Wang Chuan had always been proficient in qinggong. She had used qinggong the entire way here, so she was a bit faster than the others.
Feng Yu Heng immediately ordered Wang Chuan and Huang Quan: "You two go into the room. Calm mother down first before we talk."
The two servants obeyed and quickly ran into Yao shi's room. Not long later, the sounds of things being thrown stopped, but Yao shi's shouts continued "Give me some desserts! Give me some desserts! Let go of me. I want to eat desserts. Quickly go and get some desserts for me! "
Feng Yu Heng also entered the room. Upon seeing Yao shi's appearance, she could not help but be given a fright. She saw that her lips were cracked and pale, and there was not a trace of blood on her face. Her eyes were blurred, and her pupils seemed to be unfocused. Her hair was also scattered, and her clothes were a mess.
She could see the symptoms at a glance. This was clearly the appearance of a drug addiction. Spirit-Altering drug. Did Dashun Chao call that spirit-altering drug? Put plainly, it was a drug from her previous life. A drug. Yao shi had actually become addicted to drugs right under her nose. This caused Feng Yu Heng to suffer an extremely large blow. She was completely unable to forgive herself for this mistake. Despite being extremely careful, she had still been plotted against. What sort of person would be so daring?
As she thought about this, she stood in place in a daze for a long time. At this time, the people from the Feng family that had followed her also entered the room.
An shi and Xiang Rong saw Yao shi's appearance and were scared witless. Xiang Rong blankly ran over to Yao shi. Just as she wanted to ask her what had happened, who knew that Yao shi would become even more agitated upon seeing Xiang Rong. Loudly shouting, she asked her: "Did you bring some desserts for me? Where are my desserts? " As she spoke, she suddenly broke free from Wang Chuan and Huang Quan. Throwing herself at Xiang Rong, she hugged her and bit her face.
Xiang Rong screamed in fear; however, Yao shi said: "Desserts. My desserts finally came. Delicious!" She treated Xiang Rong as a dessert and bit down on Xiang Rong's face.
Xiang Rong was caught off guard and was bitten by her. Fortunately, Wang Chuan and Huang Quan reacted quickly. Wang Chuan reached out and hit one of Yao shi's acupuncture points. Yao shi suddenly felt that she could not exert any strength in her mouth. This bite only touched some flesh and did not cause any real harm to Xiang Rong.
But this also gave everyone a fright, as Kang Yi loudly said: "She's beginning to hurt people. Quickly stop her. There's also her tongue. Be careful that she doesn't bite her own tongue!"
Feng Yu Heng saw that she could not wait any longer and simply pulled out an anesthetic needle from her space. She then quickly stepped forward and stabbed it into Yao shi's neck.
Yao shi's eyes rolled back and fell unconscious.
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan worked together to carry her to the bed. Only then did they turn to look at Feng Yu Heng and ask in unison: "Young miss, what should we do?"
Feng Yu Heng went forward and checked Yao shi's pulse. Once again, she confirmed that she had indeed been poisoned by that addictive drug. She felt a little irritated. This sort of poison was not something that could be detoxified or treated. Even if her medical skills were any better, she could not possibly bring out a miracle drug that could cure the addiction. It was not that there were no withdrawal drugs, but they were not special drugs. Even in the technologically advanced 21st century, there were no special drugs that could cure the addiction. They could only use substitutes and gradual methods to reduce the pain of withdrawal symptoms. Gradually, they would be able to get rid of the poison.
Either way, no matter what, it required the perseverance and willpower of the addict. But with Yao shi like this, could she do it?
Feng Yu Heng pondered for a while then suddenly turned her head to look at everyone. Her gaze locked onto An shi and Xiang Rong, asking: "Where is your servant named Mei Xiang?"
