The reason why she asked this was because there was something she had to remember sooner or later, it was just that she remembered it earlier when she saw the wine jug. Ever since she came here, she basically did not drink a single drop of water. She only drank a cup of wine during the ceremony, how did she get poisoned? Could it be that there was a problem with the wine?
Wen Xin replied, "It was sent over from home."
Feng Ruonan asked again, "Has the wine been checked?"
Wen Xin replied, "This servant saw the housekeeper bring people to check all the food and necessities, there shouldn't be any problem."
Feng Ruonan was silent for a while. Her family was worried that the Imperial Court would harm Shang Chaozong, so they would definitely check it carefully, there shouldn't be any problem. Logically, her family shouldn't treat her like this, so where was the problem?
She asked again, "Did the wine pass through anyone else's hands?"
The two of them shook their heads, Wen Xin replied, "I don't know about the wine of the other guests, but the wine that was sent to the bridal chamber was of the highest quality. After it arrived, it was specially handed to us, and did not pass through anyone else's hands."
Feng Ruonan asked in a low voice, "Are you sure no one else touched it?"
The two of them thought, what was going on, could it be that someone had poisoned the wine? They shook their heads again.
Then what was going on? Feng Ruonan muttered in her heart, her gaze landing on the candlestick. She stood up and slowly walked over, not daring to walk too quickly. Last night, she had been harmed badly by a certain someone, and this morning, she chased after him in a fit of anger. Walking to the candlestick, she discovered that the two large red candles had already burned out, leaving only mottled pieces of wax.
She peeled off a piece of wax and brought it to her nose to sniff. Just as she was about to order someone to check it, Wen Li suddenly said, "Miss, this wine seems to have been taken by someone else."
Feng Ruonan suddenly turned around.
Wen Xin was shocked, "Really?"
Wen Li asked, "Did you forget? Didn't that white bearded old man stop us from checking yesterday? "
Wen Xin was stunned, and immediately nodded to Feng Ruonan, indicating that it was true.
Feng Ruonan gritted her teeth, "Where did this white bearded old man come from?"
Wen Li replied, "This servant doesn't know, he said he was Prince's bodyguard."
Upon hearing that it was Shang Chaozong's men, Feng Ruonan immediately asked, "Quick, tell me, what's going on?"
"Yesterday, when the two of us brought the wine over …" Wen Li roughly explained the situation at that time in detail.
After hearing this, Feng Ruonan quickly walked over and picked up the wine jug on the ground. She opened the jug and smelled it, but she couldn't smell anything. She looked inside and found that most of the wine had been poured out, and there was only a little left. She pushed the pot to Wen Xin and said in a low voice, "Drink it!"
"Uh …" Wen Xin was stunned. She didn't know what Feng Ruo wanted to do. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the wine, but after Feng Ruo's mysterious actions, she was a little scared. However, she had no choice but to receive the bottle. Trembling with fear, she slowly poured the wine into her mouth and forced herself to gulp it down. There was only one mouthful left in the bottle.
The only thing left to do was to wait. Feng Ruonan walked back to the couch and sat down. She closed her eyes and waited quietly, as if she had already calmed down.
After ten minutes, Wen Xin suddenly let out a weak voice, "Miss …"
Feng Ruonan suddenly opened her eyes and saw that Wen Li was on the verge of collapsing. Her body softened and she sat on the ground.
"Sister." Wen Li exclaimed and quickly squatted down to help her up.
Feng Ruonan also rushed over to check. Wen Xin's limbs were soft and she looked weak. Her eyes were half opened as if she was sleepy.
With one look, she understood that this situation was the same as last night. There was indeed something wrong with the wine!
"Miss, what happened to sister?" Wen Li asked anxiously.
Feng Ruonan waved her hand and signaled for her to help Wen Xin to the couch. She then helped her. After putting Wen Xin on the couch, Feng Ruonan said to Wen Li, "Don't worry, she is fine. Let me ask you, do you know the name of that White Beard? "
Wen Li shook her head, "This servant doesn't know."
Feng Ruonan, "If you see him again, can you recognize him?"
Wen Li nodded repeatedly, "I can recognize him."
Feng Ruonan gritted her teeth and muttered some harsh words that only she knew. Her attitude seemed to have changed and she started to look for her own clothes to wear.
In order to chase after Shang Chaozong earlier, she was completely naked and only wore this jacket. This kind of thing was not something that ordinary women dared to do. As expected of a woman who mingled with men for a long time … …
In the governor's mansion, Feng Lingbo and Peng Yulan sat in front of the table eating breakfast. At the side, there was someone reporting Feng Ruonan's situation.
Hearing that Feng Ruonan had beaten Shang Chaozong out of the bridal room early in the morning and chased after him with a sword, the husband and wife were dumbfounded. They knew that their daughter was fierce, but they didn't expect her to be this fierce.
Feng Lingbo waved his hand and signaled for the reporter to leave. He smiled bitterly and continued to eat.
Peng Yulan's face was full of worry. She reached out and took away the chopsticks in his hand, "You fought last night and chased after him with a sword this morning. You still have the mood to eat?"
Feng Lingbo waved his hand, "What can I do? It's a matter between a couple, it's hard for even an upright official to settle it. We can't starve to death because of this, right? What's more, the situation is obvious. Shang Chaozong isn't your daughter's match at all. If he can't beat your daughter, she won't be at a disadvantage. The one getting beaten is Shang Chaozong. What's there to worry about? "
Peng Yulan glared at him and said, "What are you saying? You can't let this go on for long, right?"
Feng Lingbo sighed, "If I had to say, you shouldn't have let her practice martial arts in the first place. Luckily it was Shang Chaozong who married her. If it was a normal person, they wouldn't be able to block her punches and kicks. I'm afraid the bridegroom would be beaten to death by your daughter on the night of the bridal room. That would be a joke!"
Peng Yulan frowned and said, "What's the use of saying this now? Think about it, it would be strange if Shang Chaozong would treat her well in the future."
Feng Lingbo lowered her eyebrows and said indifferently, "Do you think it will be better if he doesn't fight? You know the purpose of Shang Chaozong marrying Ruonan. Don't worry. As I said, as long as he is still attached to the Feng Family, he won't dare to do anything to your daughter. With our people watching, he can't do anything. It's not a bad thing for Ruonan to keep a distance from him now. It's not too late to teach your daughter how to live after that matter is resolved … "
The sun rose. In front of the flower bed, Niu Youdao bent down and looked at a flower carefully. It was a species he had never seen before. He picked one flower and examined it carefully.
Pa! A half-full burlap sack was thrown at his feet. Niu Youdao turned his head to look at it, then looked at Yuan Gang, who was standing in front of him, and asked, "What is it?"
Yuan Gang, "See for yourself."
Niu Youdao kicked it with the tip of his foot. He did not know what it was, so he casually pinned the flower to his ear and bent over to open the bag. When he opened it, he saw that it was half filled with yellow granules. He held a handful in his hand and raised his head in shock, "Soybeans?"
He thought it was something rare that was worth Yuan Gang showing it to him personally. It turned out to be something like this.
Yuan Gang, "This thing doesn't seem to be planted much here. I have never seen or heard of it in Little Temple Village. This is one of the foods sent by the governor's office yesterday. I just happened to see it. I asked the chef. Because the output of soybeans is not high, there aren't many people planting them here. Ordinary people rarely eat them, and most have never eaten them before. "
Niu Youdao was suspicious, "Don't tell me you want to promote planting this thing, or do you want to get some for the people in Little Temple Village to plant? If that's the case, I advise you to give up on this idea. You just said that the output of this thing is not high. In troubled times, everyone wants to eat their fill. No one is willing to plant something that has no output. It's useless to promote it. Save your energy. "
Yuan Gang, "I asked the chef. He has never heard of tofu. You can make some."
He knew how to use ready-made tofu to cook, but he did not know how to turn soybeans into tofu. He had heard of the method but had never tried it. However, he knew that Daoye definitely knew how to do it. Daoye had always been interested in traditional things and knew many traditional skills.
"There's no tofu?" Niu Youdao was stunned. He looked at the soybeans in the sack and could not help but shake his head. Now that Yuan Gang mentioned it, he missed the taste. He also understood Yuan Gang's feelings. It was the same as his. He nodded and said, "Let's talk about it when we have time. We have to leave tomorrow, and it's too late to make it now."
As they were talking, Shang Shuqing arrived. After receiving Lan Ruoting's reminder, he rushed over. From afar, he saw the two of them surrounding a sack. He did not know what it was that was worth discussing. When he got closer, he realized that it was soybeans. He was a little surprised.
Niu Youdao smiled and said, "Princess, you look calm and composed. It seems that the Prince is fine."
Shang Shuqing asked, "Did you do the drugging?"
It seemed that the other party already knew! Niu Youdao also knew that it was a little obvious, but he still shook his head and said, "I didn't do it." He would not admit to it.
Shang Shuqing said, "Daoye denied it without asking what it was?"
"Do I need to ask? First of all, I didn't do it. Secondly, if it was me … "Niu Youdao turned around and looked at Yuan Gang." Did I do something wrong? "
Yuan Gang knew that he was not referring to the drugging itself, but the reason behind it. He shook his head and said, "You didn't do anything wrong!"
Niu Youdao immediately turned around and stared at Shang Shuqing. "Then, does Princess think that I did something wrong?"
As long as Shang Shuqing admitted that he did something wrong, it would be easy for him. There was no need to say anything else. Along the way, he would find a suitable opportunity and immediately escape with Yuan Gang. He would not even say a word. Everything he did for the Shang Chaozong siblings was actually not for them. The siblings were not worthy of him working for them. Why? Why would he take the risk to stay behind for cultivation resources that he could not even see? It was more like a joke!
He did not care which emperor this empire belonged to, nor did he care about the internal strife within the royal family. Whether it was his previous life or this one, he did not have the habit of working for others. The reason why he stayed behind to help was because he asked Yuan Gang to do something. In the end, Yuan Gang felt guilty, and as the mastermind, he could not absolve himself from the blame. As a man of two lives and a brother of one, loyalty was the most important thing. He did not want his brother to feel that he owed someone else and thus bear a debt of conscience for the rest of his life. Bullying others but not the heart. He stayed behind to help his brother make up for his loss.
