“How would I know?” Feng Yunshu sneered. “Does it matter whether I know or not? Open your dog eyes wide and take a good look. Isn't the one standing in front of you me, your姑奶奶!”
“It was okay when you used to bully my kind - hearted mother before. Do you think I, Feng Yunshu, am a soft - persimmon that you can manipulate at will?!”
The First Lady's complexion flickered. Her gaze towards Feng Yunshu became increasingly complex, filled with panic, nervousness, fear, and evasion. After a moment of silence, she changed her attitude and quickly explained, “It's a misunderstanding, Yunshu. Actually, it's all a misunderstanding!”
“Your mother and I have always been good sisters. I never intended to kill your mother, nor did I do anything underhanded! Although I did have feelings for the prime minister in the early years, I would never be so unscrupulous!”
Feng Yunshu scoffed. “Even now, you still want to quibble? First Lady, are you only willing to tell the truth when you're on the verge of death?”
Feng Yunshu leaned forward and reached out to grip her chin, forcing the First Lady to look into her eyes.
At first, the First Lady resisted strongly, but under Feng Yunshu's gaze, her eyes became increasingly unfocused and gradually lost their sharpness.
“Did you kill my mother, Murong Yun?”
“Yes... it was me... I told the maid to poison her when she was giving birth! Who asked her to steal the man I loved? Who asked her to live a better life than me! Her father's official position was far inferior to mine. Everything should have been mine!”
Finally, she told the truth. Hehe.
Feng Yunshu gathered a ball of light in her other palm. This ball of light recorded every word the First Lady said bit by bit.
The First Lady in front of her had been bewitched by Feng Yunshu's hypnosis. Every word she said came from her subconscious, so it was naturally much more credible.
Feng Yunshu continued, “Did you poison the eldest daughter of the Feng family when she got married?”
The First Lady's expression froze for a moment, then slowly nodded. “Yes... that disaster - star Feng Yunshu was a scourge if she stayed in the prime minister's mansion. If the prime minister hadn't shown a bit of compassion back then, I would have killed that disaster - star and thrown her into the mass grave long ago!”
Feng Yunshu tightened her grip on the First Lady's chin. The First Lady frowned in pain instinctively.
“What poison did you give her? Where is the antidote?!”
Hearing this, the First Lady frowned even more tightly, as if there was a fierce ideological struggle going on in her mind.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Feng Yunshu looked into her eyes and released her spiritual power to strengthen the control. Then she continued, “Tell me, what poison did you give her? Where is the antidote?”
The First Lady trembled all over. She moved her lips and was about to speak, “The poison is actually—”
However, before the First Lady could finish her sentence, a silver needle suddenly shot in from the window and pierced into the First Lady's body. The First Lady rolled her eyes and fell backward.
Feng Yunshu's heart skipped a beat. She quickly withdrew her hand and turned to look out of the window. Just then, several more silver needles flew towards her face. Under the moonlight, the tips of the needles glinted coldly.
Feng Yunshu quickly reacted and jumped several times to avoid these silver needles.
“Who is it?!”
Frowning, Feng Yunshu looked in the direction from which the silver needles had come. She took a few steps and jumped to the window, looking out warily. She saw a dark shadow flash by in the treetops not far away.
Feng Yunshu originally wanted to chase after to see who it was, but suddenly thought of Xiaoling who was guarding outside. Her heart tightened, and she quickly rushed out of the room to look for Xiaoling.
She had asked Xiaoling to guard outside after she went in, just in case someone else caused trouble. But that dark shadow just now was clearly after her. Where was Xiaoling?
Feng Yunshu was a bit panicked. She searched around the house but didn't see Xiaoling's figure. She became even more nervous and kept calling Xiaoling in her mind.
“Xiaoling, Xiaoling! Where are you! If you hear me, answer me quickly!”
After waiting for a while, just when Feng Yunshu decided to go out to look for Xiaoling, Xiaoling's voice suddenly sounded in her mind, “Master, master, Xiaoling is okay. Xiaoling will be back soon!”
Hearing Xiaoling's voice, Feng Yunshu felt that the heart that had just risen to her throat finally fell back into place. A cold sweat broke out on her back.
“Where are you now? Didn't I tell you to guard the door just now? Why did you suddenly disappear?”
“Master, don't be angry. Xiaoling will rush back soon! Xiaoling will tell master the reason after she comes back!”
Feng Yunshu was standing beside the First Lady's room, hesitating whether to go back and try again. Just then, a scolding voice came from not far away, “Who's there?! Bold thief, how dare you break into the prime minister's mansion at night!”
Oh no, she had been discovered!
The guards in the mansion had spotted her figure and were rushing towards her menacingly. Feng Yunshu squinted her eyes slightly, quickly formed a seal with her hands, and turned into a beam of light, directly leaving the prime minister's mansion and arriving at a long street not far outside.
In the prime minister's mansion, because the place where Feng Yunshu had been was a bit dim, the guards had only vaguely seen someone there and rushed over.
But when they rushed over, they found that there was no one there.
“Where is the person? Didn't you say there was a thief here just now?”
“Hey, what's going on?! I did see someone here just now! It's impossible... How could they suddenly disappear...”
“What did you see! I've already told you to go and get your eyes checked. Isn't your glaucoma acting up again? There's no one here, not even a ghost. Stop making a fuss. Let's go...”
The guards turned around and left speechlessly. The guard who was sure he had seen Feng Yunshu rubbed his eyes several times, but couldn't help but doubt himself. Could it really be that I was seeing things?
At this time, Feng Yunshu was standing in a corner of the long street, leaning against the wall with a pale face.
Her spiritual power had not fully recovered. Just now, due to the urgent situation, she had to use the teleportation spell. But this spell consumed a huge amount of spiritual power, making her feel completely drained.
Feng Yunshu was waiting for Xiaoling to join her. She leaned against the wall and tried to adjust her breathing. Just then, a few hooligans came over while drinking. They quickly set their eyes on Feng Yunshu.
It was a dark and windy night, and there were few people on the long street. Unexpectedly, they could meet a young and beautiful woman. Moreover, this woman seemed to be in a bad state, which made the hooligans even more excited.
“Hey, where did this little lady come from... Look at this figure and this appearance. Why is the little lady out here in the middle of the night? Are you lonely in your boudoir and waiting for big brothers to love you?”
As they talked nonsense, the hooligans quickly walked up to Feng Yunshu. They grinned lewdly and reached out their hands to touch Feng Yunshu's face and the clothes on her body.
Feng Yunshu couldn't help but frown. She was almost suffocated by the smell on these people. At present, her spiritual power was depleted and her physical condition was not good. It would really be difficult for her to deal with these tall and strong hooligans.
Feng Yunshu bit her lips. Her eyebrows and eyes turned colder. Even if it meant self - harm, she would definitely make these hooligans suffer the consequences of being castrated!
“Try to touch a single hair of mine and see what happens.”
