Chapter 575 The drug takes effect

When Mingrui saw her, she immediately smiled: "Hey, cousin, what took you so long? The old lady was worried, so she asked me to come and see if everything was ready."

"Oh, this dress really suits the girl."

Fang Yuqian was very disdainful of the fact that she used to be a third-class servant girl by the old lady's side, but now she had become the favorite concubine of the old lecher Li Huaiyi.

It's really stupid to waste such a good-looking face.

So he didn't give her a good look: "Auntie Rui is not serving the Second Master, why did you come to me?"

Mingrui covered her lips with a handkerchief and chuckled, "I'm here to see my cousin, aren't I? Besides, there's no place for an aunt like me in an occasion like today."

He ignored the disdainful expression on her face and reached out to help her: "My cousin will be the mistress of this Duke's Mansion in the future. Isn't it my duty to please you?"

Fang Yuqian looked at her with a squint and raised her chin: "Why does my great aunt tell everything to an aunt like you! Okay, let's go."

Mingrui was not annoyed: "After all, I am the second master's bedmate, and the second master is the old lady's biological son. How can I be like the Duke? After all, I didn't crawl out of my belly, so how can I be as close to the second master as he is."

Fang Yuqian snorted and let her help her to the main hall.

"Aunt Rui, do you really want to be my second uncle's principal wife?"

Mingrui smiled awkwardly: "My cousin also knows my background. How can I be worthy of being the second master's wife with my status? I would be content to be able to serve him and be a concubine."

Fang Yuqian glanced at Mingrui in surprise.

Why doesn't this sound like something she would say?

When I came to curry favor with her a few days ago, I also asked her to say a few good words for her in front of my great-aunt.

Now she is the only woman by the second master's side.

She looked like she was determined to become the second wife, so why did she say that again today?

Before Fang Yuqian could figure it out, she had already reached the door of the main hall.

Mingrui let go of Fang Yuqian: "Cousin, please go in. I don't have enough status, so I will go back first."

Fang Yuqian hummed, looked at Mingrui's back as she left, and whispered, "Strange."

The maid at the door lifted the curtain and said, "My cousin, the old lady is waiting for you, please come in."

Since there were only about ten people in total, and they were all family members, there was no separate seat for men and women, but everyone sat together at a large round table.

There were fifteen or sixteen people sitting around the table, it was very lively.

As soon as Fang Yuqian stepped inside, the old lady said with a smile: "My dear relatives, let me introduce you. This is my good-for-nothing second brother's granddaughter, Fang Yuqian."

"Qian'er, come and meet Mr. Zhu, Mrs. Zhu, and the two Mr. and Mrs. Zhu. These are the two cousins."

Aunt Hu frowned slightly and said, why did Madam Fang invite them here on a day like today?

It turns out that I had this in mind.

It's because they see that there are two grown-up young masters in their Zhu family, and they want to arrange a marriage between their niece Fang Yuqian and their family.

Oh, don’t you see her family background? How can she be related to a century-old family like the Zhu family?

Not to mention that her father-in-law had just retired from the position of Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, even the two Mr. Zhus, one was in business and the other was a prefect of a place, were not something she could dream of.

Fang Yuqian was very well behaved at this moment. She stepped forward and bowed respectfully to several people.

Madam Fang smiled and said, "Xi'er, you are the younger generation and you are the last to arrive. Go and pour wine for everyone."

When Mrs. Hu heard this, she became even more displeased. Wasn't this obviously an opportunity to get close to the two young masters of the Zhu family?

Madam Zhu tried to stop her: "How can we let Miss Cousin do this? Let the servants do it."

The nanny beside Zhu Anhe was about to step forward, but Fang Yuqian had already stood up: "Grandma is right, I am the younger generation, it is my duty."

As he spoke, he poured a glass for Zhu Qizheng first: "Mr. Zhu, please."

Zhu Qizhen just nodded lightly and said nothing.

Hongshuang led everyone to serve dishes and wine one after another.

When Li Shuangwan saw Hongshuang come in, he knew that the matter had been accomplished.

Fang Yuqian poured wine for everyone in turn, and when it came to Li Yuanqiao, the pot of wine was just empty.

Then he took another pot from the small table behind him.

Li Shuangwan had been paying attention to her, and from her angle she just happened to see Fang Yuqian quickly take out the Nine-Curved Mandarin Duck Pot that she had prepared long ago from her sleeve.

She gently moved her finger on the spout of the pot and poured a cup for her brother.

He calmly moved the spout of the kettle over and poured a glass of wine for Li Yuanming.

After the two men poured the wine, everyone at the table had their glasses filled with wine.

After doing all this, she turned around as if to put the wine jug back, but in fact she had stuffed the one she had just put back into her sleeve, and then returned to her seat.

While serving food to the old lady, Madam Cai took the Nine-curved Mandarin Duck Pot from Fang Yuqian.

After all, having a wine jug hidden in the sleeve would be inconvenient for what I was going to do next.

Everyone raised their glasses, said auspicious words, and drank the wine in their glasses.

When Fang Yuqian saw Li Yuanqiao finish the full glass of wine with something added to it, her heart, which had been beating wildly, slowly calmed down.

He glanced at Li Shuangwan who was sitting next to Li Yuanming, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Li Shuangyan, Li Shuangyan, after today, I, Fang Yuqian, will be your sister-in-law in full and proper sense of the word.

She sat below the old lady, and opposite her was Li Yuanqiao. She could see if there was anything wrong with Li Yuanqiao just by raising her eyes.

In just a moment, Fang Yuqian realized that something was wrong with Li Yuanqiao.

At this moment, Li Yuanqiao's face and neck gradually became flushed, and even his eyes began to blur.

But after a few moments, he was already very unlovable, his forehead resting on the table with his hands, his body swaying slightly.

Fang Yuqian's lips curled up slightly, it seemed that the medicine was taking effect.

My great aunt really has a lot of good stuff in her hands. The effect of this medicine is obviously quite strong.

Li Shuangwan, who was sitting next to Li Yuanqiao, saw this and quickly supported him: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Yes, I do feel a little uncomfortable." Li Yuanqiao's voice was hoarse, and he seemed to be trying hard to endure it. Beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

His hands were clenched into fists, with veins bulging on the back of his hands, as if he was in great pain.

"Brother, let me help you to rest." Li Shuangwan quickly stood up.

"well……"

Li Yuanqiao stood up unsteadily.

Li Shuangwan shouted urgently: "Someone, go get the doctor."

"No, thanks, I just need to rest for a while..." Although he said that, it was obvious that he was in great pain.

I don’t know if it was because Li Shuangwan didn’t have enough strength or Li Yuanqiao was too tall, but Li Shuangwan couldn’t hold on to him steadily for a moment.

Li Yuanqiao felt completely powerless at this moment. As soon as Li Shuangwan let go of his hand, he fell back heavily on his butt.
