After Anjing and Anle left, the dinner table became quiet for a while.

Feng Yan was a solitary person and had no desire to socialize with these people; his only goal was to bring peace and happiness to one person.

Seeing Feng Yan eating his meal with a smile but no words, Cui Zhiduo picked up a pot of wine with a smile, wanting to pour Feng Yan a cup, but Feng Yan raised his hand to stop her, his smile somewhat indifferent and polite.

"Oh, how could I trouble you, young lady? I'll do it myself." Feng Yan said, already picking up another pot of wine beside her.

Cui Zhiduo was stunned for a moment, her gaze falling on Feng Yan's hand, staring at the pot of fruit wine that Feng Yan had picked up. Her expression paused, then changed slightly. That pot of wine was specially prepared for Brother Qi, and she couldn't let this man drink it.

Reaching out to snatch the pot from Feng Yan's hand, she quickly said, "Young Master Feng, you're too kind."

Before Cui Zhiduo could even reach out, Feng Yan had already poured himself a glass and elegantly took a small sip.

Cui Zhiduo's face stiffened, and her hand froze in mid-air. Oh no, she had drunk it?

Faced with this unexpected situation, Cui Zhiduo was a little at a loss and couldn't help but want to run away. What if she was discovered? Would they come after her?

But when she caught a glimpse of Qiao Zhiyi slumped over the dining table out of the corner of her eye, her eyes flickered slightly, as if she had thought of something. Cui Zhiduo smiled slightly, thinking that this might not be so bad.

If this woman gets together with another man, will Qi Ge's heart be able to stay?

Thinking of this, Cui Zhiduo withdrew her hand, which had been frozen in mid-air, put down the wine pot and threw it on the dining table. She smiled and took two more steps around, picked up the wine pot that Feng Yan had just put down, and poured a cup for Qiao Zhiyi. "Then I will pour another cup for Miss Zhiyi. This cup is to celebrate my good fortune in getting to know Miss Zhiyi."

Although Qiao Zhiyi was not fully conscious, she still subconsciously tried to push the glass away. She couldn't drink alcohol and got drunk easily. "No, I won't drink anymore, I can't drink anymore..."

"Okay, that's one more cup. If Miss Zhiyi drinks this one, we won't drink anymore, okay?" Looking at Qiao Zhiyi, whose eyes were a little sleepy, Cui Zhiduo coaxed her into drinking a cup.

With Anle Ren gone, Feng Yan didn't have much patience to continue the meal. He only had a few sips of wine and a few bites of food before the meal ended.

Qiao Zhiyi was so drunk that she was in a daze, and Feng Yan helped her away.

The little girl handed her cousin over to him, and naturally he wouldn't leave her there; he would make sure to take good care of her.

Because she was a young woman, Feng Yan specially ordered a carriage to take her back to his residence.

"Miss Zhiyi, where is your residence?" He only realized after getting into the carriage that he didn't know where Anle lived.

Because he came from Hongcheng, which is far from the capital and has poor communication channels, it takes time for news from the capital to reach Hongcheng.

Moreover, Anle's matter was a taboo subject throughout the capital, because the Heavenly Master's Mansion had issued an order that the thirteen prominent families, the official families, and all the noble families dared not speak of it outside, and it was only rumored secretly within the capital.

So Anle's matter hadn't even reached Hongcheng yet; only the An family knew about it.

As for Princess Anle's identity, only an imperial edict was issued, and there was no time to hold a formal investiture ceremony to announce it to the world, so not many people knew about it.

Anle came here specifically for the investiture ceremony.

Feng Yan was one of those who were unaware of the situation.

Qiao Zhiyi was so drunk that he was drowsy and disoriented. He had no idea where to take the person, so he had no choice but to take the person back to his place and leave his address with the waiter at the restaurant.

If the child returns to the restaurant, the waiter will inform her where to pick him up.

Feng Yan had an excellent alcohol tolerance, so drinking some fruit wine was no problem for him. However, the fruit wine he drank during the meal made him feel hot all over, and this feeling of heat intensified when he got to the mansion.

Especially the person he was supporting in his arms, who was unconsciously setting off fires all over him, twisting and turning, making him feel an indescribable sense of unbearable discomfort.

It wasn't until the person was settled into a room that the pent-up energy within him finally exploded.

Because Qiao Zhiyi attacked him, she pounced on him, rubbing against him like a puppy and even touching him inappropriately.

"Zhiyi, you can't blame me for doing this." Feng Yan's voice was hoarse, and his body was completely out of his control. Only after the deed was done did he belatedly realize that he had been given a strong drug.

Looking at Qiao Zhiyi sleeping soundly beside him, Feng Yan was expressionless, his whole being exuding a gloomy aura.

Who drugged him?

No, the question should be: who drugged him and Zhiyi?

The kid who tried to match him up with Zhiyi?

impossible.

How could such a smart child do something so suspicious? At the time, it was probably just talk, just using him for a bit, and he couldn't possibly have actually done anything.

But it seems that all the blame is being directed at her, because she left with her older sister.

If it wasn't her, then the only remaining suspects would be the other two people present.

Meanwhile, Anle was sitting in a chair with a look of amusement on his face, watching the woman kneeling below and Feng Changya standing to the side.

After listening to the whole story from Feng Changya, An Jing looked at Ye Wan'er kneeling on the ground and was speechless.

The girl had been lying to her from beginning to end; the claim that she was pregnant was completely fabricated and she was just trying to gain her sympathy.

"Girl, just tell me what you want to say directly, why lie to me?" But one thing is curious, this girl only told her about the lie, and she even sent everyone else away at the time, it was a private conversation.

How did Young Master Feng find out about this?

An Jing glanced at Feng Changya again, puzzled. Feng Changya seemed to see An Jing's confusion and gave a bitter smile, "If she does nothing, naturally no one will know. But once she does something, how could she possibly hide it from my Feng family?"

He never expected that the person he had loved for so long would abandon their relationship and confess everything for five thousand taels of silver.

He misjudged the situation and misplaced his affections.

It's a bit ridiculous to say something like this to someone's face.

Anjing lowered her eyes slightly, "Actually, there's no need to explain it to me clearly. Whether the pregnancy is true or false, I will explain it to your family."
