SFS Chapter 1034 Soybeans
Chapter 1034 Soybeans
The old woman was overjoyed and hurried to ask the steward for fresh soybeans.
The news soon spread to the village. Furong was very curious when she saw everyone busy drying the soybeans.
She frowned and asked, "How did you get all the soybeans out? The City Lord's Mansion never asked for so many!"
The village head didn't hide it from her. He answered without hesitation, "It's for the city lord's wife. She's pregnant, so she can't eat any delicacies. She only likes the fried stinky tofu made by Mrs. Chen. Doesn't that mean we need to soak the beans and grind the tofu quickly?"
A ferocious hatred flashed in Furong's eyes. Why should everyone be busy just because she wants to eat?
She should have starved to death!
Who made her show off her power and cause herself to be driven to this village to do farm work?
When Furong thought of this, her eyes turned red with grievance.
The village head noticed that something was wrong with her and asked with concern: "Furong, what's wrong with you?"
Furong quickly raised her head and said, "Maybe a flying insect got into my eye just now, so I feel a little uncomfortable!"
The village head didn't ask any more questions and ordered her, "Go and soak all these beans in water. Before dawn, you have to make tofu and send it to the city lord's mansion!"
Furong nodded in agreement, picked up the beans and left quickly.
However, when she soaked the water again, she also sprinkled some medicinal powder that she had prepared in advance into it.
She murmured sarcastically, "Don't you want to eat it? Then eat it until you die. This is a slow-acting poison. One or two pieces won't be fatal, but the more you eat, the faster you'll die. Then there will be two lives for one corpse. How cool!"
She reached out and stirred it, and the powder quickly dissolved in the water.
Her ferocious smile also disappeared in a flash.
The next day, Princess Youyi heard that fresh tofu had been delivered to the farm.
She kept Lin Yiwan's reminder in mind and was very careful about what she ate.
She took some fresh tofu and asked the doctor from the City Lord's Mansion to examine it, but he didn't find anything wrong with it.
He even said that it was made from the freshest soybeans and there would definitely not be any problems.
However, Princess Youyi was still worried.
After all, it is something that is eaten. When she was in the palace, she knew very well that the concubines in the harem had all kinds of tricks to harm people.
She is pregnant now and cannot be careless.
She ordered her maid, "Go and invite Aunt Wan over. Tell her that we've got some fresh tofu delivered from the farm. I can't make up my mind, so I'd like her to come and check it out!"
The maid quickly arrived with Lin Yiwan. She first used the simplest method to check, which was to feed tofu to the mice first.
About an hour later, the little white mouse was still alive and kicking.
Princess Youyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She frowned and pondered, "Aunt, am I a little too nervous? I'm sure that even if Furong has resentment, she wouldn't dare to retaliate directly. After all, it would be easy to trace it back to her!"
Lin Yiwan warned, "Youyi, don't underestimate your enemy. From the first moment I saw her, I felt she was quite cunning. She would never miss this opportunity. To be on the safe side, don't eat any of this tofu!"
Princess Youyi quickly agreed: "Okay, then let's seal up this tofu and buy fresh ones somewhere else!"
Lin Yiwan fed the mice tofu for a few days and found that their condition was getting worse day by day.
Until he died suddenly!
She immediately realized that all the tofu was filled with chronic poison.
It is not obvious at first, but after accumulating in the body, it will cause an outbreak.
She showed the dead white mouse to Princess Youyi, who was so frightened that her face turned pale and ugly.
She said hatefully, "She actually used a slow-acting poison? She thought she could do it without anyone noticing, but Auntie still found out!"
Lin Yiwan said coldly, "We can't keep this woman here. I'll tell Ling Yue to take her back from the manor to the City Lord's Mansion!"
After all, he was the one who served Mo Lingyue before, and it was he who sent him out, so he had to inform him.
A complicated expression flashed across Princess Youyi's face, and she wanted to say it in person.
She had already made up her mind that if Mo Lingyue protected Furong, she would keep her distance from him from then on.
After all, he was the one who was trying to murder her, so she couldn't let him off easily!
Lin Yiwan understood her stubbornness and let her handle the matter alone.
As dusk approached, Mo Lingyue rushed back to the City Lord's Mansion, exhausted.
He is now going with Zhan Yan to take over Jiaodong Island, and is encountering considerable resistance.
Many people were dissatisfied and felt that he was not worthy of being the new King of Jiaodong.
He kept all of this in his heart, he didn't want Princess Youyi to worry about him.
So when he saw her, he smiled.
He quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Your Highness, how are you feeling lately? I heard you were vomiting quite a bit a few days ago. Has it improved now?"
Princess Youyi nodded and said, "I'm feeling better now. The cook has made a new dish that I really like. I'm counting on that to fill my stomach!"
Mo Lingyue asked curiously, "What kind of food do you like so much?"
Princess Youyi replied, "Fried stinky tofu!"
Mo Lingyue obviously had never heard of this dish, but he thought that as long as Youyi liked it, he must make more for her.
He said quickly, "I'll tell the farm to make more fresh tofu and send it to the mansion. That way, you can have it ready to eat!"
Princess Youyi tried to stop them: "No need, I've already asked them to make fresh tofu, but something happened!"
Mo Lingyue asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
Princess Youyi ordered someone to bring up a few poisoned white mice and show them to him.
Mo Lingyue was so angry that his whole body was shaking violently. How could he not see that someone was trying to poison Princess Youyi?
He quickly asked, "Who is it? Has Her Royal Highness the Princess found out?"
Princess Youyi uttered two words: "Furong!"
After saying that, she stared closely at Mo Lingyue's expression.
Only after she saw that there was only hatred and murderous intent in his eyes did her expression and emotions soften.
Fortunately, he didn't refute her because that person was Furong.
Mo Lingyue didn't know that he had been re-examined by Princess Youyi. He was just filled with anger at the moment.
He didn't expect that Furong would be so unrepentant and even dare to poison Princess Youyi and her unborn child. Her crime was simply unforgivable.
Thinking of this, he ordered in a deep voice: "Come, bring Furong to this city lord!"
"Yes!" The guards waiting outside immediately took the order and left.
At this time, Furong was anxiously waiting for news on the farm. Several days had passed now. Logically, the city lord's wife should have had a breakdown, so why was there still no news?
She was lost in thought when the door was suddenly slammed open from outside.
