The Stunning Mad Empress: The Useless Third Miss - Chapter 46

Because of her deep love for her son, even Fu Yingsi, who was particularly meticulous about her diet, had clearly fallen victim this time.

In the corner on the other side, Xiao Qingqing had also seen everything with her own eyes. With a slight curl of her lips, Xiao Qingqing walked forward and deliberately patted Xiao Qingcheng’s shoulder: “Third sister, the divorce letter hasn’t been written yet. Without the divorce letter, it’s not a real divorce.”

Xiao Qingcheng glanced sideways, looking at the mark left on her shoulder, and inwardly sneered. She turned around and with a slight flick of her hand, the Hellfire she had saved was all sprinkled back onto the handkerchief that Xiao Qingqing was carrying with her.

“Master, is the Hellfire all sprinkled?”

“Yes! It’s all done. Wait for her to be disfigured.”

“Yay! That second-rate woman is doomed! Doomed!”

Ignoring Little Pearl, Xiao Qingcheng took a step forward and looked at Fu Yingsi, who had finished her snacks, and coldly asked: “Where is the divorce letter?”

“Xiao Qingcheng, is this the attitude you have when speaking to my mother?”

Nan Gong Yu turned around, his face extremely ugly as he looked at Xiao Qingcheng. Xiao Qingxue, standing nearby, sneered coldly and stepped forward to try to hold Xiao Qingcheng’s hand: “Third sister, don’t worry, Yu will definitely not marry you!”

Xiao Qingcheng looked up at the contempt and sarcasm in Xiao Qingxue’s eyes and sneered coldly: “Of course not! I heard that the night before last, you were rolling around with Nan Gong Yu. After the house collapsed, all the servants in the mansion saw your body. Naturally, this despicable man will marry you!”

“Xiao Qingcheng, shut up!”

Nan Gong Yu suddenly swung a burst of energy directly towards Xiao Qingcheng’s face. As the energy was about to hit Xiao Qingcheng’s face, she seemed to cry out in fear: “Aaaaah! So scared!”

Then, Xiao Qingcheng grabbed Xiao Qingxue and pulled her in front of her. With a “rip!” sound, Nan Gong Yu’s powerful energy had a strong effect when it touched Xiao Qingxue’s delicate dress. It was visible to the naked eye that the dress split open from the chest. If Xiao Qingxue hadn’t condensed her energy in time to resist, what would be ruined now… would not be her dress.

Xiao Qingcheng looked up and, seeing Xiao Qingxue standing there in her undergarments with no shame, couldn’t help but laugh. The people around also saw the obvious hickey on Xiao Qingxue’s collarbone. Xiao Qingxue’s face was filled with shame as she turned around and glared at Xiao Qingcheng: “Why did you push me out?”

“I’m scared!”

Xiao Qingcheng spoke openly, not feeling the least bit embarrassed. Fu Yingsi frowned, watching this absurd farce with an inscrutable expression.

Suddenly, her throat tightened violently, as if thousands of ants were crawling over her skin. Extreme pain and numbness came flooding in. “Uh… come… someone… save…” The word “life” had not yet left her lips when the originally ruddy-faced Fu Yingsi spat out a mouthful of black blood directly.

“Mother! Mother!”

Nan Gong Yu, whose face turned pale with fright, quickly stepped forward and embraced Fu Yingsi, who was slipping away. “Someone! Someone! Come quickly!”

Nan Gong Yu, whose eyes were red with urgency, shouted without any regard for the situation. This caused Xiao Qingxue, who had just made a fool of herself, to immediately lose all attention. The entire hall fell into chaos instantly.

The alchemist and poison master who were always with Nan Gong’s matriarch rushed over and took Fu Yingsi to the temporary room next to the parlor. Outside the room, Nan Gong Yu, with a gloomy face, tightly guarded the closed door. Xiao Feng and Lin Fen, standing nearby, were both silent.

Xiao Qingxue, who had changed into a new dress, arrived with Xiao Qingqing. “How is she? How is the matriarch’s condition?” Xiao Qingxue stepped forward, looking at Nan Gong Yu with a gentle smile.

“We don’t know yet. Everything depends on the diagnosis of the alchemist and poison master!” Nan Gong Yu sighed, his expression filled with deep worry.

Not far away, Xiao Qingcheng stood with her arms crossed, leaning against a tree trunk and drinking tea. “Master, let’s go.”

“The divorce letter hasn’t been obtained yet. Where are we going?”

“Auuugh, then when will it be?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingcheng slightly furrowed her brows. Now that Fu Yingsi had suddenly been poisoned and fallen ill, it was obvious that Xiao Qingxue and Xiao Qingqing were behind it.

“Eldest sister, the maid who served the third sister this morning has something to report!” Xiao Qingqing suddenly interjected, interrupting the conversation between Nan Gong Yu and Xiao Qingxue.

“What report? What report? If anything happens to my mother, all of you will pay with your lives.”

Nan Gong Yu roared in irritation. Xiao Qingqing was so frightened that she hid behind Xiao Qingxue.

“Yu, since Qingqing mentioned it, perhaps… it might be related to the matriarch’s condition?”

Xiao Qingxue’s deliberate hint caused Nan Gong Yu’s expression to shift slightly. Without regard for the people present, Nan Gong Yu anxiously said: “Bring her in for questioning!”

Xiao Qingxue gave Xiao Qingqing a meaningful look, and Xiao Qingqing immediately nodded and left. In a short while, a maid with a face swollen like a bun knelt in front of Nan Gong Yu and his group, crying pitifully.

“Boohoo… boohoo… I… I am named Xiao Cui, a second-class maid in the madam’s courtyard. I was sent to help the third miss dress. However, this morning I accidentally came into contact with the poison powder left in the third miss’s room, and… and my face…”

Nan Gong Yu frowned, looking at the maid’s face: “Someone, diagnose her and see if it’s the same poison as what my mother was poisoned with?”

Xiao Cui was frightened by this and shuddered. She instinctively glanced at Xiao Qingqing, who signaled to the handkerchief at Xiao Cui’s waist. Xiao Cui understood immediately: “The poison powder is on this handkerchief. Xiao Cui is of lowly status and dare not let the young master’s people deal with it. The poison on this handkerchief all came from the third miss.”

Nan Gong Yu, with a stern face, waved his hand, and immediately someone took the handkerchief into the room. In a short while, a black-robed old man hurried out anxiously: “Young master, young master! The poison on this handkerchief is similar to the poison powder that the matriarch was poisoned with.”

Upon hearing this, Nan Gong Yu looked far away at Xiao Qingcheng. The killing intent in his eyes was so obvious that even Xiao Qingxue, standing nearby, instinctively took two steps back.

“Xiao Qingcheng, you despicable woman with a heart of a viper, I’ll chop you to death!”

“Damn it! Let me out, master! I want to go and beat him up! This foolish, despicable man!”

“Calm down! Since you’ve already called him a fool, do you think I’ll let him bully you?”

After soothing Little Pearl, Xiao Qingcheng crossed her arms and stepped forward proactively: “Who said I was the one who poisoned her? Miss Qingcheng told me last night before she left that someone would frame me!”

Upon hearing “Miss Qingcheng,” Nan Gong Yu’s hand, which was about to grab Xiao Qingcheng’s neck, immediately stopped.
