Chapter 87 It's definitely not me!
Lu Yangyang ignored the mentally unstable third young mistress of the Feng family and instead gently pressed several points on Feng Qingyao's body.
The third young mistress of the Feng family was completely dumbfounded. Her body slumped to the ground uncontrollably, and she held onto a low stool with her hands to prevent herself from falling.
Her vision was blurry, and she bit her lip tightly, trying her best not to make a sound. The veins on the back of her hands, gripping the stool, were bulging.
While Lu Yangyang was busy examining the body, Ying Xun, who was in charge of investigating the case, was also busy on the other side.
After questioning Su Fengqu, Sheng Junyi, and Princess Liduan, he already had a general idea of what was going on.
It is unlikely that Princess Liduan committed the crime, but both Sheng Junyi and Su Fengqu are suspects.
Therefore, he did not rush to make a judgment, but instead carefully observed the situation inside the room with his assistant.
This guest room was a large open space, about the size of four rooms. The two side rooms were slightly smaller, separated by inner doors. One side was where Lu Yangyang was currently examining the body, and the other side was probably a washroom. The main room in the middle, where they were now, was much larger. It was a combined guest room and bedroom, a living room for receiving guests, separated by a screen. Behind the screen was a bedroom.
Ordinary rooms in wealthy households would not be designed like this; these are guest rooms specifically for entertaining guests.
The tables and chairs in the room were in disarray, looking as if they had been accidentally bumped into. Su Fengqu was sitting on the floor with a chair behind her.
On the table were several kinds of fruit and snacks for entertaining guests, a few cups of tea that had been drunk, and some fruit peels and melon seed shells that had not been cleaned up yet, which meant that guests had been entertained.
Ying Xun glanced at Su Fengqu, walked past him, and went to the bedroom behind the screen.
Compared to the small hall outside, the bed in the inner room was in a mess. It was summer, and there was only a thin blanket on the bed, which was crumpled up and thrown at the foot of the bed, almost touching the ground.
In the air, besides the sandalwood fragrance from the incense burner, there was also a faint scent of photinia flowers.
Ying Xun's expression changed slightly. He quickly walked to the bedside, lifted the quilt, and sure enough, he found a familiar mark on it. Looking at the bed sheet, he also saw a red bloodstain.
There was a small paper package lying on the inside of the bed.
Ying Xun reached out and took out the small paper packet. There was still a little bit of powder left inside. He brought it to his nose and smelled it. His expression darkened slightly. He took the packet and walked out of the bedroom, returning to the living room.
He handed the small paper package directly to Su Fengqu: "Young Master Su, what medicine is in this paper package? Why is it on your bedside?"
Upon seeing the paper package, Su Fengqu seemed to remember something, her eyes widened, and her eyelids twitched violently. "I..."
"If it's inconvenient for Young Master Su to say, I can take it to the Imperial Hospital for examination." Ying Xun's voice turned cold as he recalled the scene he had just witnessed.
"I don't know. Someone gave it to me, and I didn't plan to use it. I told you I don't know anything!" Su Fengqu became agitated again.
"Isn't that the Spring Fragrance that Wu San gave us?" At this moment, a young man who had joined in the fun shouted from the crowd.
Su Fengqu's face darkened completely.
Ying Xun looked toward the speaker, and the others who understood the name also had strange expressions.
Ying Xun called over the person who was speaking, as well as Wu San, whom he mentioned.
Wu San was an illegitimate son of an earl's family. Because he was the third son in the family, everyone called him Wu San. He was a playboy who usually hung out with Su Fengqu and his group of friends.
He frequented brothels and often resorted to underhanded tactics. Most of the people he hung out with knew each other's backgrounds, and some had even obtained this kind of drug powder from Wu San.
A type of medicinal powder commonly used in brothels, called "Spring Fragrance," whose name itself tells you what it's for.
Ying Xun asked Wu San directly, "Did you give this medicine to Young Master Su? When did you give it to him? Why did you give it to him?"
"This, this..." Wu San, a spoiled brat, was usually arrogant and domineering, and he didn't discriminate between meat and vegetables. But when faced with Ying Xun, a proper official who worked at the Dali Temple, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"It was just a casual game between brothers, Lord Ying. I... I'm not breaking the law by giving someone a gift, am I? Brother Su said he wanted to teach a girl a lesson, so I... I just gave him this packet of medicine. I really don't know anything else!" Wu San glanced at Su Fengqu timidly, somewhat frightened, and subconsciously took a step back.
His eyes, however, were subtly questioning Su Fengqu, conveying a meaning that only Su Fengqu could understand.
What's going on, bro? You've got the wrong person!
Understanding his meaning, Su Fengqu's face flushed with anger: "I told you, I didn't intend to use this thing. I don't know how it ended up on the bed. How many times do I have to tell you!"
Su Fengqu was really furious.
Wu San gave him a packet of medicine, and he knew perfectly well what it was for.
Let alone the fact that he's crippled and can't use it now, even if his legs were perfectly fine, he would never actually use this thing to deal with Lu Yangyang!
It's true that he dislikes Lu Yangyang a bit. If it weren't for Lu Yangyang, his horse wouldn't have been startled, and he wouldn't be in this state now.
However, his feelings for Lu Yangyang were also very complicated, because Lu Yangyang was the only hope he had during his most fearful time. He was afraid that he would really become crippled and that even the imperial physicians would be helpless. It was Lu Yangyang who saved him.
The imperial physician also said that there was no major problem with his leg now, and he just needed to rest and recover. Thanks to Lu Yangyang, otherwise he would definitely be lame.
So Su Fengqu never really intended to do anything to Lu Yangyang. He was just provoked at that moment and wanted to ask Lu Yangyang to come over. But in reality, he was just acting on impulse and thought it would be good if Lu Yangyang came over to apologize to him. Even that was just a thought, and he really didn't plan to do anything!
However, he was too ashamed to say these words, and even more embarrassed to tell his group of cronies that he had tricked Lu Yangyang into coming here just to get an apology from her. How could he possibly care? He was the number one playboy in the capital, how could he not be ashamed!
He couldn't bring himself to say it, and even now, he still can't.
Su Fengqu clenched his fist and angrily slammed it on the ground. What the hell could have happened to him!
“Young Master Su, I advise you to tell me everything you need to say. Otherwise, with all the evidence and witnesses, it will be difficult for you to clear your name. There are signs of assault on the bed in the inner room. Young Master Sheng and Princess Li Duan arrived at the same time, but later, so they didn’t have time to commit the crime,” Ying Xun said coldly.
"What did you say?" Su Fengqu's eyes widened, and she shouted excitedly, "Impossible! It couldn't have been me! I didn't do it!"
