Chapter 179 The Second Wife Is Uncomfortable

When the old lady looked away, the old lady quickly put a pill in Zian's wine glass, then poured the wine in her own glass into Zian's glass, and said: "I can't drink alcohol, drink it, so as not to waste it Xiangfu's fine nectar and jade liquid."

When the old lady put the pills, she moved very quickly, not at all like a seventy-eight-year-old old man, but with a flick of her sleeve, the pills fell into Zian's cup.

After she poured the wine, she glanced at the color in the glass, and then said as if it was wrong, "No, I have a cough, you should not drink my wine."

After speaking, he took the wine and sniffed it in his nose, then poured it out.

However, just for a split second, Zian saw that the wine in the glass had turned pale yellow.

There was a drop or two of the original wine left in the glass, the old lady put down the pill and poured the wine over to see what kind of medicine it was.

This pill should be the one used to test the venom.

"Taijun used to be a good drinker, why can't he drink even one cup now?" Taifei asked.

The old lady smiled, "It's not good now, I'm old, it's okay to smell it, I've been addicted to alcohol."

Chen Liuliu didn't know why, "However, grandma still drinks a lot in the mansion."

"Shut up, what do you know? This is the best wine. Grandma drinks it with burning knives in the house. What if I'm used to good wine and can't handle bad wine?" Chen Taijun gave Chen Liuliu a cross look.

Chen Liuliu was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head and continued to eat.

She has an agreement with her grandmother. In the words of her grandfather, both of them are uneducated and inappropriate. They must restrain each other. If one of them says something wrong without knowing it, the other will look at it. , then, whoever speaks must shut up.

The old lady faintly noticed that something was wrong. Chen Taijun was not a big deal in the past, could it be that she discovered the clue?

Xia Quan came back and reported: "Old Madam, I have searched the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, but I have not found the Second Miss. I asked the guard at the door, and said that they saw her go out with His Highness the Crown Prince."

The old lady couldn't help but get angry, "Why didn't the guards stop her? This has to be returned to the Duke's mansion."

Concubine Cui said: "Forget it, the crown prince is very playful, I am afraid that he will drag her out to play, and it is the same to ask the eldest lady to return the gift."

The old lady glanced at Zian, a little reluctantly, "Well, she didn't kowtow to offer tea, it's not very appropriate for her to return the gift."

Concubine Cui said: "What's the matter? It's just a ceremony, not a big deal."

The old lady thought for a while, "Let's wait a little longer."

After finishing speaking, she ordered Xia Quan, "You order someone to watch at the door. If the second lady comes back, let her go to the side room to prepare for the gift."

Murong Zhuangzhuang pulled his face, "Who can't do this? You have to wait for her to come back? Zi'an is also a member of the Xiangfu."

After hearing Murong Zhuangzhuang's words, the old lady looked at Mrs. Liang hesitantly, then looked at Zi'an and said, "Go back to the side room with the second lady to return the gift."

Zi'an didn't raise his eyebrows, "Yes!"

In the side room, what will be waiting for her and Mrs. Liang?

Just as they were speaking, there was a sound of gongs and drums in front of them, and everyone stood up immediately, only to see a long fire dragon rushing in from the gate of the Xiangfu, the flames rose into the sky, and sparks of rosin exploded, which was indescribably bright and shocking.

After one came in, another followed, and entered eight in a row. The fire dragon passed by the banquet and walked straight forward. Stick, there is a dance step when walking forward, Zian thinks it is a bit like a tap dance.

Chen Liuliu exclaimed excitedly: "It's eight fire dragons, they are so beautiful, I want to see them."

She said, and ran over quickly.

Not only her, but also many sons and daughters ran behind the fire dragon, and the scene suddenly became lively.

Seeing the high flames, Zian was also a little shocked. This fire dragon dance is really beautiful. The moving fire dragons are like real dragons, moving forward quickly. Just like what Su Qing said, the fire dragons with special kerosene The fire dragon, although sparks exploded, did not splash out, but only added a bright effect.

The old lady said to Zi'an: "Taking advantage of this moment, you and the second lady can go to the side room."

Zian and Liang Shi stood up, and Liang Shi faced everyone, "Everyone, drink slowly, I will take a step first."

"Ma'am, go slowly!" Both Concubine Cui and the old lady said.

Zian took two steps, and suddenly looked back at the old lady, "By the way, grandma, my granddaughter forgot to tell you one thing. Just now, my granddaughter asked Xia Quan for longan from the concierge, and Xia Quan said she wanted your opinion."

The old lady waved her hand, "If there is a shortage of people in your room, I will transfer them to you."

"Yes, thank you grandma!" Zi'an bowed, turned and left.

Xia Quan led Liang Shi through the fire dragon and went directly to the side room.

On the way, Xia Quan said: "Miss, since you have asked the old lady, and the old lady has also spoken, I will send the contract of sale to you when I turn around."

Zi'an responded, "I'm in charge of the housekeeper."

The corner of Xia Quan's mouth curled into a sneer, "What a slave should do."

When you die, kill the longan and send it down to serve you.

After entering the side room, Zian looked around. There were three windows in the side room, all of which were sealed tightly.

There was a strange smell in the side room. Zi'an looked around and found traces of moisture on the corners of the walls and on the floor, like kerosene.

Zi'an knew it all.

The presents from Ximen Xiaoyue's natal family are all placed in the side room, and have not yet been put into the storeroom.

And the mansion had already prepared a gift in return, and put it on the table in a big pile, and what Zian had to do was to check the gift with the gift list, and then put it into the burden with his own hands for the people in the Duke's mansion to pick it back.

Xi Niang read beside her, "Five bolts of silk, a pair of raw chickens, two jars of good wine, two sets of noodles, a pair of walnut buns, and a pair of jade ruyi..."

While Xi Niang was reading, Zi'an put it down.

Liang Shi was originally standing on the side, but slowly sat down and shook his head.

Seeing this, Zi An asked, "Is Madam alright?"

Mrs. Liang waved her hand, "It's okay, but my body is a little weak."

"I know a little bit about medicine, why don't I feel the pulse for Madam." Zian guessed that the wine she drank had an effect, and she also wanted to know what was in the wine.

As soon as she took two steps, she stretched out her hand to support the back of the chair, "My legs are also a little weak, and I don't have any strength in my whole body. What's going on?"

Liang wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to Zian, but when she saw her sitting over to feel her pulse, she held out her hand.

After watching Xia Quan go out, Zian took her pulse, which was slow and stagnant, as if the energy and blood were not continuing.

"I'm also very flustered, I don't know what's going on?" Liang Shi was a little flustered, this feeling made her very uncomfortable, and she even forgot to apologize to Zian for a while.

There was the sound of gongs and drums outside, Xia Quan heard the sound of gongs and drums, and wanted to go out.

But Zian stopped him, "Xia Quan, wait a minute."

Xia Quan turned around reluctantly, "What's the matter?"

Zi'an didn't talk to him, but said to Xi Niang: "Xi Niang, please go out and bring a cup of hot water to Second Madam."
