From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

After three rounds of drinking, everyone's interest reached its peak, and there was a festive atmosphere inside and outside the box.

Except for a few people like Ye Qingying and Xue Ningyue, today should be a happy day for most people.

And perhaps they don't know that this is also a day to change the situation.

The door of the box opened, and Xu Guangchen and several elders of the Xu family came in with wine glasses, very enthusiastic.

"Today, Fengming Tower is honored to receive several adults, which is really a great honor for our humble home, so I'm sorry to bother you and come to toast."

As the first talent in Lin'an Prefecture, Xu Guangchen is well-known and has a relatively high reputation in the literati circle. In addition, the Xu family is indeed a big family, so several adults did not give him face.

Everyone stood up and raised their glasses to drink together.

Perhaps they were acquaintances, Xiao Qianhu chuckled and said, "It is said that today is your engagement party? Brother Xu, why don't you bring the girl to us?"

Xu Guangchen immediately said, "Of course!"

His expression was very wonderful, and he turned around and said, "Ningyue, aunt, come here, several adults want to meet you."

In this atmosphere, even if the Xue family felt humiliated, they could not refuse.

So Madam Xue and Xue Ningyue walked slowly and bowed slightly.

Xu Guangchen said, "This is Master Xiong, and this is Master Xiao."

Madam Xue forced a smile and bowed, "My two masters, I am honored."

Xue Ningyue's face could not force out a smile at all, she only felt extremely humiliated, her face was pale, and her eyes were dull.

She subconsciously glanced at Zhou Yuan, and then quickly turned her face away, for fear of involving Zhou Yuan.

"My daughter, I greet the two masters."

Her voice was trembling.

Xiong Kuohai narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he saw something wrong, and then smiled and said: "Don't be polite, congratulations to your Xue family."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank.

Xu Guangchen said in a deep voice: "Ningyue, Lord Xiong and Lord Xiao are guests. We still have to do our best to entertain guests in Fengming Tower. Go and pour wine for Lord Xiong and Lord Xiao."

Xue Ningyue's face suddenly changed, and she opened her mouth, but did not dare to refute.

She didn't want to, but she didn't dare to resist in front of so many people. She was trembling all over, and finally gritted her teeth and didn't move.

"You have to resist fate."

She thought of this sentence in her mind. It was the story that Brother Zhou told her, the story of seeking scriptures.

Monkeys know how to resist fate, let alone humans.

Xu Guangchen said in a deep voice: "Ningyue? Didn't you hear it? Go and pour wine for the two adults!"

This time, Xu Guangchen obviously had a little temper, and his tone was much heavier.

The scene suddenly became awkward. Xiong Kuohai and Xiao Que looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say.

Trying to smooth things over at this time might embarrass Xu Guangchen. They were such smart people that they would not interfere.

Zhou Yuan's face turned cold.

He didn't expect Xu Guangchen to do such a thing. He couldn't help humiliating Xue Ningyue now. What would happen in the future?

Thinking of Ningyue's goodness and seeing her like this, Zhou Yuan's heart was burning with anger.

He said in a deep voice: "Don't you see? She doesn't want to!"

Xu Guangchen seemed to be waiting for Zhou Yuan. He looked at him and said sternly: "Zhou Yuan, I'm teaching my concubine a lesson. What does it have to do with you?"

This sentence made the Xue family's people change their faces, but things had come to this point. They couldn't break the contract again, otherwise Baiyanlou would really have no way out.

Xiong Kuohai and Xiao Que seemed to see that something was wrong with the scene. They looked at each other and chose to watch the show tacitly.

Zhou Yuan chuckled and said, "Concubine? Have you married her? Have you transferred the property? The matter has not been finalized yet."

Zhao Cheng frowned, suddenly bent down, and wailed.

Then he was sweating profusely and whispered, "Hey, hey, that's not right!"

Liu Liang was puzzled and said, "Master Zhao, is this... your way of standing up for your son-in-law? Why does it look so strange?"

Zhao Cheng waved his hand and said with difficulty, "I don't have the mood to care about young people's affairs. I suddenly have a stomachache."

"Stomachache? Haha, you..."

Liu Liang just opened his mouth and his face suddenly changed. He covered his stomach all of a sudden, and there was a crackling sound under his body.

He obviously didn't hold it in and defecated directly.

The smell immediately filled the entire box.

"Damn it! What's going on!"

Liu Liang, who was extremely angry, couldn't help but yelled.

While Xu Guangchen was at a loss, everyone present slowly covered their stomachs, all of them had problems, and their faces were pale and sweaty.

Xiao Que couldn't help but ask, "Where is it! Where is the toilet!"

Xu Guangchen panicked: "It's, it's just to the west..."

Xiao Que pushed it open and rushed out directly.

Others also reacted and rushed out, blocking the toilet.But this thing came too quickly, and the stomach hurt too much. Almost no one could bear it. They all had shit all over their pants, and the smell was overwhelming.

Ye Qingying covered her mouth and nose, looked at Zhou Yuan in surprise, and said, "Is it that mushroom? Did you set up this trap?"

Zhou Yuan whispered, "Second Senior Sister, I'm good to you, right? I didn't let you eat mushrooms."

Ye Qingying's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You should be thankful. If I were like... like them, I would break your legs."

Xiong Kuohai sat on the chair, his face turning pale, and he was obviously using his inner strength to restrain himself.

He suddenly looked at Xu Guangchen and said coldly, "Boy, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but shudder, because he clearly felt a murderous intent.

Xu Guangchen was sweating profusely and was at a loss. He hurriedly said, "I, I don't know. I don't know why this happened!"

"Bullshit!"

The captain next to Xiong Kuohai turned the table over and roared, "The food is wrong! It must have been drugged! Are you going to rebel? How dare you harm the Jinyiwei people!"

As he spoke, he had already drawn the knife from his waist!

As a scholar, Xu Guangchen had never seen such a scene. His stomach was aching, and he was frightened by the knife and immediately pooped his pants.

He wanted to cry but had no tears. He sat on the ground and hurriedly said, "No, sir, sir Xiong, this has nothing to do with Fengming Tower. We...we must investigate it strictly!"

Zhou Yuan laughed in his heart. No matter how you struggle, you can't run this Fengming Tower.

Even if the Jinyiwei didn't interfere, who would dare to come to Fengming Tower as long as the matter got out?

This building is positioned as high-end, and everyone is rich and prestigious. There are so many choices, who would risk being poisoned?

Zhou Yuan has been waiting for this moment for too long.

And something unexpected happened suddenly.

I saw a strong man in ordinary linen clothes rushing up from downstairs, ignoring the miserable condition of others, and came directly to Xiong Kuohai.

He half-knelt down and said anxiously: "Sir, it's bad. Something big has happened in Qingshan County. Thousands of people are making trouble and attacking the county government office. They have succeeded."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Ang's face changed drastically, and he shouted in shock: "It's bad! The Wusheng Sect has taken action! They are really going to rebel!"

"With that batch of armor, the few people in Qingshan County can't stop them at all. Sir Xiong, give the order quickly!"

Xiong Kuohai stood up and said in a serious voice: "Don't worry about the shit and urine in your crotch. Bear the stomachache and go back to the Hundred Households to reorganize the army immediately!"

He strode out, but halfway through, he suddenly turned back and said word by word: "The people in Fengming Tower are involved in colluding with the Wusheng Sect, poisoning and murdering court officials, and participating in treason. They will be arrested immediately and strictly guarded!"

Xu Guangchen's face changed horribly on the spot, his head was buzzing, and he was dumbfounded for a while.

Mrs. Xue finally reacted and shouted, "Sir, Sir, this has nothing to do with the Xue family!"

Xiong Kuohai ignored him and hurried away with a group of Jinyiwei.

Liu Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Captain Ye, go to the yamen and bring people to arrest all these people!"

"Yes!"

Ye Qingying clasped her fists and responded, and strode away.

But when she left, she lowered her voice and said to Zhou Yuan, "What are you doing!"

Zhou Yuan did not answer, but walked slowly to Xu Guangchen, covered his mouth and nose and squatted down.

He said softly, "Are you satisfied with the mushrooms I prepared for you?"

Xu Guangchen looked at Zhou Yuan in horror, as if he saw a devil, and shouted in shock, "It's you! You hurt me!"

"Heh!"

Zhou Yuan sneered and stopped answering, but looked at Ningyue who was huddled aside.

She was in a bad mood, had no appetite, and hardly ate anything, so her condition was not that bad.

But she still felt severe pain in her abdomen, her lips were pale, and she was trembling.

In front of everyone, Zhou Yuan picked her up and whispered, "You don't have to get married, just follow me."

Amid the wailing of the crowd, Zhou Yuan held Xue Ningyue and strode away.
