Chapter 591 Framing and Being Framed
“Retch, retch!” Feng Jianing dug her throat crazily. Waves of retching sounds rang out. Tears started to flow from her eyes because she was too uncomfortable. Unfortunately, no matter how she dug, she couldn’t spit out that small mouthful of red wine.
Feng Qing asked when she saw Feng Jianing’s strong desire to live, “I only let you drink a mouthful of red wine. Why do you have to spit it out? Could it be that you know what’s inside?”
Feng Jianing shouted desperately, “Because I also ate fig. It was Tessa who personally gave it to me. She said that the fig was imported from our Xia country’s southwestern region. She wanted me to have a taste of my country’s specialty.”
Fig was a kind of fruit. Eating it alone was beneficial to the human body, but as long as it was eaten with Hu Pohong, it would be poisonous. If one was not treated in time, one would definitely die in three days.
At the moment of life and death, Feng Jianing finally couldn’t care less about her grudge and hatred with Feng Qing anymore. She said everything she knew. “Because it was Tessa who released me from prison, I trusted her very much. She peeled a fig for me to eat, so I naturally didn’t take it seriously. However, I remember very clearly that when Tessa released me, she told me that she would teach you a lesson at today’s banquet. Later on, I accidentally found out that she bribed the waiter to drug the wine and realized that she wanted to kill me too!”
Feng Qing curled her lips and added, “And to frame me too. Because the two of us aren’t on good terms, it’s easier for everyone to believe that I poisoned you to death with the wine.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Jianing fell silent because Feng Qing had guessed the right answer. Now, it looked like this was indeed all of Tessa’s plans. She wanted to kill the two of them at the same time and frame Feng Qing. This scheming was really terrifying.
At this moment, Feng Qing handed the glass of wine in her hand to Feng Jianing. Feng Jianing’s action of digging her throat froze because she saw that there was actually no Hu Pohong powder at the bottom of the glass. In other words, the red wine Feng Qing had given her just now didn’t have Hu Pohong at all. That means she wasn’t poisoned with Hu Pohong at all.
Feng Jianing’s pupils trembled, and her shock gradually turned to ecstasy. She took her fingers out of her mouth. She knew that she wouldn’t die. She said excitedly, “That’s great. I… I don’t have to die anymore. I’m not poisoned!”
Feng Qing’s expression was indifferent as she watched her expression change from hell to heaven. She had experienced this series of emotional changes many times.
Feng Qing said as she looked at Feng Jianing disdainfully, “At that time, the glass of red wine that Tessa handed you was the one that really contained Hu Pohong. Therefore, I specially went over to change your wine because I didn’t eat the fig. It was fine even if I drank the wine mixed with Hu Pohong, but it’s different for you. If you drank that glass of wine, you would definitely die three days later. However, you’re a fool. You let another waiter wander around with a tray. When I called the waiter over, the red wine that you drugged with a strong laxative naturally reached Tessa and me.”
Feng Qing deliberately paused for a moment after speaking up to this point. She stared into Feng Jianing’s eyes as if she could see through everything. “So you knew that Tessa had epilepsy, right?” “No, that’s not right. I didn’t get anyone to administer laxatives. I also didn’t know that Tessa had that kind of illness. Don’t you slander me!” Feng Jianing panicked and subconsciously took a step back. Feng Qing curled her lips. “How can you not know? The two of you usually live together. From the moment you arrived in Country F, you hooked up with Tessa. Don’t say that you didn’t know at all when she took medicine to control her epilepsy. Not only did you know that she had epilepsy, but you also knew that strong laxatives would induce Tessa’s relapse.
“Ever since you found out that Tessa had someone poison the wine, you thought of this countermeasure to protect yourself. You also got someone to put a laxative in the wine. Then, after Tessa relapsed, you pushed this onto me. That’s why you were nervous and a little excited when the three of us drank the wine just now. Because you felt that you were the smartest and had successfully schemed against all of us.”
“Nonsense! You’re making things up out of thin air! These are all your own imagination. It has nothing to do with me at all. Even if there’s a strong laxative in the wine, how can you prove that I drugged the wine?” Feng Jianing retorted angrily.
