Chapter 921: Poisoning
Translator: Lonelytree
This time, I became the target of public criticism.
There were all sorts of gazes looking at me. Envy, jealousy, flattery, disgust, and hatred.
I smiled slightly. âMiss Fu, youâre exaggerating. As an outsider, I was just reminding you out of kindness. I have no interest in sharing a share of the profits with you. Some of my personalities may be different from yours. I can share a bowl of rice with others, but I will never share a man with others.â I looked at Fu He. âWith Miss Fuâs measure, Iâm willing to admit defeat.â
Fu Heâs smile didnât change. Her gaze once again swept across the crowd.
Fang Jing immediately jumped up. âThen why are you here? Why didnât you leave? Why did you share the same man with others? Then you can see now that Wen Dianâs woman might not even fit in this room. Youâre just one of them.â
I smiled at her and didnât say anything.
I didnât want to compete with others, nor did I want to argue with fools.
Fang Jing thought that her words threatened me. She sneered. âWhat? Are you not convinced? Iâm telling you, thereâs nothing you can do even if youâre not convinced. You have to abide by the rules here! Weâre both Wen Dianâs women. If youâre not willing to share a man with us, then why are you still staying here?â
I looked at her and sighed. âI donât want to stay here either. Why donât you point out a path and let me out?â
Fang Jing was stunned for a moment before she sneered. âWhat are you pretending for? The main door is right there. If you want to leave, who can stop you?â
I looked at Fu He. âMiss Fu? Can I leave?â
Fu He shrugged. âMiss Nanxing, you already know. Why are you asking me?â
I sighed again. âMiss Fu, canât you be brave for once and show your boldness as if youâre the host?â
Fu He ignored me.
Fang Jing had a puzzled look on her face. She looked at me and then at Fu He.
Fu He didnât even look at her. She raised the wine glass on the table, and she said to everyone, âThis is the first gathering of our peony garden. Why donât we all have a drink first? Staying in Peony Garden is our common fate. Why donât we meet honestly, right?â
With that, she downed the wine in one gulp.
Those women also raised their glasses in unison. Even Fang Jing seemed to be surrendering to Fu He as she downed the wine in one heroic gulp. She turned around and looked at me provocatively as if telling me that the enemy of my enemy was my friend. She stood in line.
I stopped Yang Yang and Zhao Mei, who were prepared to follow behind me. The two of them were a little confused, but considering that I was quite a strong backer, they finally put down their wine glasses.
There were also two or three women who didnât drink. They seemed to have a wait-and-see attitude toward the current situation.
Fu He didnât mind. She looked at everyone and said, âSisters, if you have an afterlife, remember to take revenge on Miss Nanxing! This gathering started because of her, and this wine is also thanks to her.â
After she said that, she smiled with a very pleased smile.
At first, the crowd didnât understand what was going on. Then, their faces were filled with pain, and they fell to the ground. They clutched their stomachs and rolled on the ground a few times. Then, they kicked their legs and stopped moving.
It was exactly the same as Jing Ningâs death. Zhao Mei, Yang Yang, and a few others who hadnât drunk wine couldnât help but scream in fear. They very consciously hid on my side.
I instantly understood. I looked at Fu He and calmly said, âYou used my blood on them.â
Fu He smiled and nodded. âThatâs right. Shouldnât I try out its magical properties? You should be used to it, but this is the first time Iâve seen it. The effects are quite good! Iâve long disliked these women. This time, Iâve borrowed your hand and your blood to fulfill my wish. Thank you!â
I sighed. âItâs said that womenâs hearts are the most poisonous. Iâve seen it myself. Thank you!â
âNo matter how poisonous my heart is, it is not as poisonous as your blood!â Fu He retaliated.
