After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

Chapter 292 The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind

The fox, who had taken off his sheepskin, dragged a chair next to him and sat down leisurely. Then he asked the maid who came up to him, "Tell me, how are you going to test it?"

The maid bowed slightly, and said softly with a slightly reserved look, "I only need to check behind the young lady's ears and neck. If it is a human skin mask, there must be traces in the hidden places behind the ears."

Yuan Ge nodded, then raised his eyes and asked her, "Only behind the ears? What if there is no trace of a human skin mask behind the ears? Will your female relative frame me up and say that my whole body is covered in a human skin mask? Then she will make up some nonsense and say something else?"

The maid bowed again, still expressionless, and said, "Young Madam, you are joking. A fine human skin mask is extremely difficult to make and is worth a fortune. I have never heard of anyone in this world putting on a human skin mask to disguise themselves..."

"Even with the Wen family's financial resources, it's impossible to get it?"

"Madam, this is not just a matter of financial resources. The delicate human skin masks are actually made with the skin of a living person. It must be from a living person..." Probably because it was a public occasion, the maid stopped talking here.

Yuan Ge nodded seriously and asked, "So it's impossible?"

"Yes. Absolutely not."

Tong Wanzhen had long lost her patience watching the two of them talking back and forth. However, this maid was arranged by Qin Yongpei, so she couldn't interfere too much, so she just scolded Yuan Ge, "Wen Qian... I'm calling you like this for now, don't think about stalling for time. Even if Commander Song comes to protect you personally this time, you should at least give everyone a clear answer, right?"

Yuan Ge smiled lazily with his chin propped up, "It's not to delay time, but to ask more clearly, in case the result is not to Miss Tong's satisfaction, Miss Tong will turn around and slander me for wearing a whole human skin mask, and then check it again, wouldn't that waste everyone's time?"

Tong Wanzhen tightened her cheeks, "Wen Qian has a gentle personality, but she is not as sharp-tongued as you. You say you don't like verbal disputes, but no one's verbal skills are as good as yours... Since we don't want to waste everyone's time, let's hurry up."

This time Yuan Ge was very cooperative. He lifted the long hair on the side of his neck, tilted his head slightly, and asked the maid to check while smiling gently, "No matter how gentle a person is, if he is betrayed again and again by the friend he thinks is his best, he should learn from his mistakes. Otherwise, are you really waiting to go to the underworld and seek justice from the King of Hell?" After saying that, his eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep over the maid who walked to his side, and his eyes flashed slightly with a meaningful look.

The maid was still a little reserved. She walked to Yuan Ge and knelt slightly to salute. After Yuan Ge nodded, she slowly leaned over. Her head was very close, but Yuan Ge couldn't even feel the other person's breathing. It was obvious that she was holding her breath. She carefully pushed the hair behind Yuan Ge's ears away. Her other hand was about to cover the skin on the side of his neck. Suddenly, a hand stretched out horizontally and grabbed the maid's entire palm. The maid screamed in pain and her face turned pale in an instant, but she still pretended to be calm and looked up, "You...what do you mean, young lady?" After saying this, she secretly twitched, but couldn't pull it out.

It didn't seem like the other party was trying hard, but it couldn't move at all.

Tong Wanzhen was delighted. "Why, you won't show off when the time comes? If you had known this would happen, wouldn't you have just honestly admitted that you are not Wen Qian?"

It seems that he is unaware of what the maid did secretly. Since it was not Tong Wanzhen, it is very clear who is behind the maid... Yuan Ge raised his eyelids and looked at Tong Wanzhen, but there was no smile on his face. He sneered coldly, "Tong Wanzhen, I think you really don't have any brains!" Otherwise, how could he be used to this extent by the person next to him!

"You! You are still sharp-tongued even when you are about to die!"

Yuan Ge didn't bother to pay attention. He just pulled the maid over and pushed her in front of her. The maid stumbled and fell to the ground. The silver needle on her fingertips fell out of her hand. Her palm was bleeding and turned black. Everyone was shocked and exclaimed, "Is this... poison?"

Tong Wanzhen was also shocked...

Seeing that she obviously understood the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole was waiting behind, Yuan Ge curled his lips and chuckled, sneering, "Tong Wanzhen, you took great pains to play this drama today, not to test my authenticity, but to take the opportunity to kill me, right? But you forgot that I, Wen Qian, am Yuan Ge's anonymous disciple, proficient in medical theory and poison techniques. Why don't you use any other tricks, but let someone poison you? You are really evil and stupid! If I let you succeed today, Yuan Ge will be so angry that he will come back to life!"

Tong Wanzhen fell straight into the chair, staring at the maid shivering on the ground in a daze. Poison? This was not arranged by her... She was not so stupid as to poison in public, but if it was not her, then who was it? Qin Yongpei specially arranged a maid before leaving. She thought Qin Yongpei was worried about her, but she didn't expect that he made such an arrangement... Poisoning Wen Qian in public, whether it succeeds or not, the Wen family and the Song family will not let her go.

Qin Yongpei, this is a plan that kills two birds with one stone!

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but he doesn't even have the slightest bit of sympathy!

"Poisoning?" This matter was full of twists and turns, much more interesting than those old-fashioned stories of storytellers. The guests whispered to each other, "It was poisoning to murder?"

"I told you, how could such a good person be fake? There are no two people exactly alike in this world. Do you really think that the Wen family is blind and can't tell whether their daughter is real or fake? And she even wears a human skin mask... She must have read too many picture books!"

"This Miss Wen is famous for her good temper. They were frequent guests at Sanpinju before, and Miss Wen always paid for them every time... I don't know why this concubine of the Tong family repeatedly framed them. Is it because of jealousy?"

Tong Wanzhen listened to the whispers around her and was speechless... She wanted to say that she did not poison Wen Qian. She really just wanted to expose Wen Qian's true face and ruin her reputation. She did not want to, and did not dare to, poison Wen Qian to death in public.

But she couldn't say.

Qin Yongpei's move was very vicious. She hung her head in despair, letting those speculations and insults fall on her. For a moment, she didn't know whether to feel funny or sad... She framed Wen Qian, and took great pains to ruin her elder sister's marriage. She secretly got pregnant, and abandoned all morality and reputation. She entered his mansion with strange eyes, and lived a life where the wife was not a wife, the concubine was not a concubine, and even worse than the servants. She suffered torture and was looked down upon, but she still naively hoped that one day they could resolve their past grievances and reconcile as before, dreaming of rising to prominence through her son.

Now...it's time to wake up from the dream.
