"Ouch, grandma, stop kicking me! I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"

"Hurry up and tell me!"

"It was Li Hongmei. It was Li Hongmei who said that you were calling me. She said to wait for me in the room."

"When did Li Hongmei tell you?"

Lin Qing asked calmly, wanting to find out exactly what Li Hongmei and Hu Ziqiang were up to.

When Lin Qing first realized there was someone in the house, she wanted to call Gu Nanxun, but then she thought that she was no longer the person she used to be, and the person in the house was definitely no match for her. Since she had encountered him, she couldn't let him go easily, otherwise he would come back next time. So she risked going into the house.

“It really is Li Hongmei. I’m not lying to you. She said it shortly after the banquet started. Otherwise, why would I be here?”

"nonsense."

Lin Qing thought about how Li Hongmei had asked her to fetch water, and then she remembered how Li Hongmei had dirtied her skirt. She figured Li Hongmei must have already made arrangements with this person, and they might come to catch them in the act soon.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing looked down and examined Hu Ziqiang on the ground.

Hu Ziqiang's skin was as black as if he had crawled out of a coal mine. His narrow eyes darted around suspiciously, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot. His flat nose looked as if it had been forcibly pressed down. His mouth was wide and thick, revealing uneven and yellowish teeth when he spoke. His hair was greasy and stuck to his scalp, seemingly dripping with oil, and mixed with some dandruff.

"Hoo..."

Knowing what she was thinking, Lin Qing turned her head and almost vomited.

Just then, Lin Qing suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

"What's wrong with the system? Didn't I not drink that cup of tea?"

"I don't know either. What it shows now is that you've already taken the medicine."

"What happened? How did you drug me? I clearly didn't drink Li Hongmei's tea!"

Feeling weak, Lin Qing feigned panic and asked Hu Ziqiang.

She can hide in the space at any time, but she wants to know how Hu Ziqiang drugged her, managing to fool even the system.

"I knew that bitch Li Hongmei was useless. She couldn't even drug someone, so I had to take care of her."

"How did you do that?"

Lin Qing deliberately feigned fear and then asked Hu Ziqiang another question.

"Haha, it doesn't hurt to tell you, since you'll be mine soon anyway."

“I put the drug on myself. Do you think you were able to defeat me so quickly? When you hit me and tied me up, the drug had already been put on you through me.”

"Wait, then why are you alright?"

"Of course, this medicine only works on women."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"You didn't expect that, did you? After today, you'll be mine. From now on, you'll be my obedient wife!"

After Hu Ziqiang finished speaking, he stood up from the ground. The ropes binding him had been untied at some point.
