However, none of them caught Cheng Xiuying’s eye.
If that was all, Fan Mingyuan wouldn’t suspect that there was something wrong with her.
Perhaps because she saw that Fan Mingyuan was really going to marry her off, Cheng Xiuying was a little anxious. She started to treat Fan Mingyuan well, hinting that she didn’t want to get married.
Fan Mingyuan was not a fool. He could tell what she was thinking and clearly expressed to her that he already had a fiancée and would not take a concubine.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Xiuying was even more ruthless. She actually drugged him and climbed into his bed. Although it didn’t succeed, it made Fan Mingyuan suspicious of this person.
Fan Mingyuan was unmoved by Cheng Xiuying’s confession after the incident. He only got someone to buy a small house for her to live in alone.
At the same time, he sent someone to keep an eye on her actions, but he did not find anything wrong with her after watching her for a while.
Fan Mingyuan thought that he was thinking too much. The girl was probably telling the truth.
Just as he was about to dispel his doubts, a man suddenly looked for him early in the morning.
Fan Mingyuan had seen that man in Xiaokang Village before.
From the man’s words, he realized that he had been deceived from the beginning to the end. There was indeed a girl called Cheng Xiuying in Little Keng Village, but she was not the one he knew. The original Miss Cheng had died the year the snow disaster broke out.
There was no one left in the Cheng family, but the land was still there. In order to prevent the government from taking back the Cheng family’s acres of land, they did not go to the government to remove her household registration.
Because of this selfishness, they harmed the entire village.
At the moment, Cheng Xiuying had actually appeared the day she brought Fan Mingyuan to their village. There were four or five other people with her.
Those people gave them money to put on a show with them, so they could hide it from Fan Mingyuan.
If that was all, the man wouldn’t have looked for Fan Mingyuan. Unexpectedly, those people even killed the villagers to silence them.
Because the man went into the mountains to hunt, he returned home too late. By the time he returned to the village, all the men, women, and children in Xiaokang Village had been slaughtered.
Xiaokang Village was a poor village. Usually, even bandits couldn’t be bothered to go there. Apart from the people who had recently appeared, he couldn’t figure out who else would attack the villagers.
As soon as they understood the whole story, before Fan Mingyuan could send someone to Xiaokang Village, they received a report that Xiaokang Village had been attacked by wild beasts and that no one in the village was alive.
After the bailiffs went to investigate, they indeed found traces of wild beasts. The corpses of the villagers were bitten beyond recognition.
Everything had been arranged flawlessly. Fan Mingyuan felt that he didn’t have the ability to let others set him up like this.

Thinking of the case Song Jingchen was investigating, he didn’t alert the enemy. Instead, he found One Dot and brought Cheng Xiuying into the capital.
Unexpectedly, the other party still noticed. At first, their target was Fan Mingyuan, but later on, they wanted to silence Cheng Xiuying.
The arrow wound on Fan Mingyuan’s body was to protect Cheng Xiuying.
One Dot spilled everything he knew. Song Jingchen frowned. “Where is that person?”
“She’s locked in the woodshed, but her condition isn’t good either,” One Dot said.
Cheng Xiuying was probably a breakthrough point. They had protected her along the way, so she was only slightly injured.
However, for some reason, her entire body had been twitching as soon as she woke up recently. She even wanted to commit suicide when she found an opportunity. They could only knock her out.
Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia had no choice but to go to the woodshed. They could hear banging at the door.
One Dot was shocked. “Not good.”
With that, he quickly pushed open the door of the woodshed and saw the woman whose limbs were tied up and thrown to the ground. She kept knocking her head against the ground.
One Dot restrained her. Cheng Xiuying’s face was already covered in blood, and her eyes were red, as if she was in great pain.
This was clearly not right. Shen Yijia went forward and grabbed her wrist. She checked her pulse and pulled out a dagger from her waist to cut open her palm. Black blood instantly flowed out.
“She’s poisoned.” She wasn’t very sure when she checked his pulse, but when she saw this, she was certain.
One Dot said, “How could that be? We’ve been guarding it and didn’t let anyone…”
“It wasn’t recent,” Shen Yijia guessed. She hated that she didn’t have enough time to practice martial arts. She wasn’t skilled enough, so she could only look for Mo Yuan.
Cheng Xiuying had already been knocked unconscious by One Dot. After Mo Yuan’s examination, she finally confirmed that she had indeed been poisoned.
“Heart Devouring Poison…” Mo Yuan looked confused. “How could that be?”
“Is there a problem with this poison?” Shen Yijia asked.
“This symptom and pulse are exactly the same as the Heart Devouring Poison. I’ve seen it at Miss’s place…” Mo Yuan shook her head as if she was uncertain. “But I didn’t make it because there’s a most important medicine to make this poison, the Heart Devouring Grass. Miss once told me that the Heart Devouring Grass can only be found in her hometown.”
