Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 380

Shen Lingjun was indeed thinking about the Talisman Master's Banquet, and subconsciously replied, "Hmm..."

Realizing what she had just said, she nearly bit off her own tongue—wasn't she just walking right into Mo Zhonggui's trap?!

Mo Zhonggui tightened his grip, as if he really wanted to snap Shen Lingjun's neck.

He said coolly, "It's no use thinking about it now. Even if we can't catch him, the hidden weapon he was hit with was poisoned with Feather Poison, the kind you were asked to make before, the kind that has no antidote."

Shen Lingjun suddenly remembered and realized what was going on.

No wonder Mo Zhonggui's attitude turned inexplicably cold when he asked her to control the poison in the feathers.

So it was specially prepared for the Talisman Master's Banquet?

But why use the more potent Feather Poison instead of other deadly poisons?

Shen Lingjun was suddenly reminded of another related memory—

Over ten years ago, when she was traveling with the old woman Xingju, she saved a young man who was poisoned by feathers on a snowy winter day...

She had previously wondered if this man was Mo Zhonggui, but the age didn't match up; Mo Zhonggui was only fourteen or fifteen years old at the time.

Now she finally knew that the man was not Mo Chonggui, but Fu Shiyan!

Fu Shiyan looked several years older than Mo Zhonggui; he should have been an adult more than ten years ago.

However, at that time, Fu Shi Yan was in a sorry state, his face covered with dried and frozen blood clots, making him unrecognizable. So even though he was standing in front of Shen Lingjun just now, she didn't recognize him.

When Fu Shiyan asked her if she remembered, he was probably referring to this.

The clues and pieces of information from before are now connected and becoming clearer, but they are making Shen Lingjun's vision go black in waves.

Fu Shiyan had a grudge against Mo Zhonggui, but she cured Fu Shiyan of the Yu Chen poison, making her Fu Shiyan's savior...

Shen Lingjun felt a chill run through her body as she looked at Mo Zhonggui.

Mo Zhonggui said coldly, "You remember now?"

His voice was cold and hoarse, each word seemingly dripping with blood.

“Fu Shiyan killed my grandfather, one of my uncles, and two of my cousins. He also chased after me and my master from Xiqi to Beiyi. My master risked his life to injure him, poisoning him with Yu Chen poison. He was bound to die, and my family’s revenge would have been partially avenged. But you cured him of the poison.”

Mo Zhonggui's tone carried an almost cruel undertone.

“Because of you, my master died in vain, without any reward. Fu Shiyan is still pursuing my family. Do you remember that young master Lin who asked you to treat him last time? He is my cousin, and it was Fu Shiyan who injured him so badly.”

Shen Lingjun felt as if wave after wave of turbulent waves were washing over her mind.

The immense impact made her dizzy and sway precariously.

No wonder, when she was treating Young Master Lin's injuries, Mo Zhonggui said that if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have almost lost his life.

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.

It was because she saved Fu Shiyan that Young Master Lin suffered such a fatal injury.

It was indeed indirectly caused by her.

No wonder Mo Zhonggui wanted her to create the incurable Feather Poison.

She cured Fu Shiyan of the Feather Poison once, and Mo Zhonggui asked her to personally make an even more deadly Feather Poison so that when Fu Shiyan was poisoned again, no one could save him.

So many of Mo Chonggui's closest relatives died at the hands of Fu Shiyan, and he had a blood feud with Fu Shiyan.

But she saved Fu Shiyan, preventing him from avenging his great grudge, rendering his master's sacrifice in vain, and leaving his remaining family members to face deadly danger.
