Without waiting for Xie Cheng to reply, Feng Qing said, “You might not know, but Ruoyun specially reminded me to wear a dress yesterday. She said that Master Du Yu has a special fondness for women in dresses. In the end, when she came to look for me this morning, I was wearing a dress, but she wasn’t. What she’s wearing now was what I specifically prepared for her.”
At this point, Feng Qing stopped. There was no need to say too much. Everyone was smart, so they understood what she meant. As expected, after hearing her words, Xie Cheng’s eyebrows knitted together. Xie Ruoyun wanted Feng Qing to wear a dress to please Du Yu? Was his daughter’s head filled with water? Who gave Xie Ruoyun the guts to encourage the First Madam of the Xie Corporation to please other men?
However, before Xie Cheng could flare up, he saw Feng Qing sitting on the chair and swaying. Then, she held her forehead and said, “Huh? Why am I suddenly a little dizzy…”
As she spoke, Feng Qing looked at the box of cigarettes in Xie Ruoyun’s hand in confusion. She pretended to be weak and said, “I didn’t eat anything else this morning. I know, it must be that cigarette. But how can the cigarette that Ruoyun gave Old Du make people faint from smoking? Ruoyun, you’d better not smoke that cigarette first. I’ll get someone to test it and see if someone drugged it.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Ruoyun’s entire body trembled. It was as if someone had suddenly poured a bucket of ice water on her. She never expected that the medicine would work so quickly. She thought that it would take a while, but Feng Qing had a reaction now, which could only mean that there was a problem with the cigarette.
!!
At this moment, Xie Ruoyun finally understood that she seemed to have gotten into trouble this time, and it was a big trouble. Feng Qing had been poisoned, and this cigarette had to be tested. If it was found to have mixed with something, she would definitely be implicated. Most importantly, she still had a small bag of that medicine on her. It was a spare medicine because she was afraid that the dosage was not enough. If she searched everyone in the conference room at this moment…
At the thought of this, Xie Ruoyun wished she could immediately cut off the place where the medicine was hidden. In order to not let the body search happen, Xie Ruoyun braced herself and said, “Young Madam, you should be mistaken. This cigarette was personally custom-made by Master Du. One box costs tens of millions. Even if it’s tampered with, who can afford to use such an expensive thing? I’ll smoke one of these cigarettes. If I’m as dizzy as you, it means that there’s definitely a problem with this cigarette. If I don’t feel dizzy, it’s your problem, Young Madam.”
Fortunately, she had listened to Long Yuning’s advice and kept the only bag of antidote on her. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t have dared to say such words. In this situation, she could only risk it and smoke the cigarette. After smoking, she would find an excuse to go to the toilet and secretly take the antidote immediately. The more she was in this situation, the more she couldn’t reject smoking. That would mean that there was a problem with the cigarette.
Xie Ruoyun did not dawdle anymore. She opened the cigarette box and took out a cigarette. She then got a lighter from Xie Ba and lit it. Then, in front of everyone, she put the cigarette in her mouth. However, she had only taken two puffs when she choked and coughed violently. She had never smoked before, nor had she ever smoked. This was true. Today was definitely the first time she had smoked in her life. She immediately choked on the smell of tobacco.
Very quickly, a cigarette was finished by Xie Ruoyun. She extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray and fanned her mouth with her hand. “Young Madam, the reason you feel dizzy might be because you’re smoking out of the blue. It feels like you’ve drunk too much and are drunk. Fortunately, I brought some hangover medicine when I came out. You can take one.”
As she spoke, Xie Ruoyun took out a small white porcelain bottle from nowhere. She had been planning how to plot against Feng Qing, but she had never succeeded. Instead, she had fallen into a crisis herself. Therefore, when she was smoking just now, she had already decided to change her plan at the last minute. She would treat the antidote as a hangover medicine and give it to Feng Qing. This way, not only could she get rid of the suspicion, but she could also bee the hero who saved Feng Qing from being violated by Du Yu. After Feng Qing left the Heaven and Earth Hall, the medicine in her body would also be neutralized. Then, this matter could be muddled without anyone knowing. As for scheming against Feng Qing, she could only leave it for later.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qing said, “Ruoyun, so you have the hangover medicine with you. Why didn’t you take it out earlier?”
