With that said, only Feng Wei heaved a sigh of relief.
If his daughter was so confident, then she must be innocent. That bottle of peppermint juice must not have any poison.
Someone in the crowd could not help but whisper: "Since you dare to inspect the peppermint juice in front of the crowd, then the peppermint juice must have been swapped over. I never thought that young miss had such a terrifying plan …"
"Miss Ruo Yu is such a kind and kind person, why is her life so bitter? Both father and mother died, and she had to rely on someone else for support. She must have suffered some injustice this time …"
The mountain winds blew these whispers into Feng Ningyan's ears.
Because the courtyard was habitually occupied by Auntie Du and Hua Ruoyu, the servants here were all their trusted aides, so their hearts were naturally on Hua Ruoyu's side.
Their spectating mentality was just waiting for the truth to be revealed. Feng Ningyan admitted to being "evil" and gave Hua Ruoyu justice.
Auntie Du and Hua Ruoyu stood behind the pearl curtain, feeling extremely proud of themselves.
Feng Ningyan coldly glanced at the few people discussing, she walked to the foot of the stairs and picked up the bottle of peppermint juice, opened the lid, and poured the light green liquid onto a pheasant on the ground.
The pheasant, which had been bound to its feet and was on the verge of death, suddenly let out a high-pitched squawk. It was in extreme pain as it thrashed about on the ground, trying to break free from the hemp rope.
As it struggled, the feathers on its body began to peel off, exposing the white skin of the chicken. Its skin was like boiling syrup as bloody bubbles began to appear.
This change shocked everyone who previously thought that Feng Ningyan had been transferred over.
"Poison!" It's really poisonous! "
It was unknown who shouted, but the crowd immediately burst into an uproar.
When the doctor saw the effects of the poison, he was so scared that he began to sweat. His lips trembled as he said, "What poison is this? It's so powerful …."
Feng Wei's face was full of suspicions. Feng Ningyan turned around and said to his father: "Father, you saw that the peppermint juice was indeed poisonous, but why is the mountain chicken's symptoms worse than the symptoms of her cousin's poisoning?"
The doctor by the side nodded his head: "That's right, could it be that Miss Ruo Yu was not poisoned by this poison?"
If it was said that Hua Ruoyu was not poisoned by the peppermint juice, then Feng Ningyan had at least dispelled more than half of the suspicion.
Hua Ruoyu clenched her teeth, but she could not come out and tell others that she was poisoned by the peppermint juice, if she did, wouldn't she be admitting it?
Seeing that his plan was about to fail, the Auntie Du hurriedly walked out and said, "A pheasant and a human, their physique and blood are all different, what's so strange about the symptoms of poison being different? If we were to use other livestock, I doubt the results would be the same. "
Feng Ningyan laughed: "Aunt is right, so I got someone to prepare two chickens of the same breed, try one more time."
With that, she walked to the other pheasant and dropped the peppermint juice down.
However, this time, she did not wait for that long. She ordered the servant girl to pour the tea that she had prepared into the pheasant's mouth.
Seeing that, Auntie Du turned her head to look at Hua Ruoyu who was inside the bead curtain. Hua Ruoyu also stared at the pheasant in fear.
In that teapot, could it be …
The pheasant was being pinched by the neck and drank half a pot of tea. It struggled slightly, but it was clearly not as bad as the previous one. It rarely lost its feathers.
On the exposed skin, there were only pieces of red birth-like marks. It looked exactly the same as the scar on Hua Ruoyu's neck.
No one present understood Feng Ningyan's intention, but Auntie Du and Hua Ruoyu were already impatient.
