The two walked toward the lounge in the inner courtyard, chatting as they went.
"Xinxi, you put on such a wonderful banquet." Nanwu thought about the banquet he had hosted last time and felt a wave of exhaustion.
"I was forced into this too." Ouyang Xinxi's face also showed some fatigue. She had really been working herself to the bone these past few days to organize this banquet.
"Won't taking me to change clothes now delay your plans?" Nan Wusi didn't want to disrupt Ouyang Xinxi's schedule because of her.
"It's alright, they probably don't need to contact me right now."
No sooner had she finished speaking than a maid came up to her, saying that there were some things in the front yard that she needed to look at.
Ouyang Xinxi frowned, unsure of what to do.
"Xinxi, you go ahead, I'm just changing my clothes." Nan Wusi smiled and told Ouyang Xinxi to go to the front yard to get busy, since there were many guests there.
"Then I'll go first. Sisi, come find me when you're changed." Ouyang Xinxi finally decided to go to the front yard. She asked the maid who came to take Nan Wusi to the rest room to change her clothes, and she even told her the location of the rest room again.
"Yes, Miss, I understand." The maid nodded, indicating that she would bring the person there.
So Ouyang Xinxi left first, while Nan Wusi followed the maid to the rest room.
"Miss Nan, the rest room is right here. Please go in and change your clothes. I will be waiting at the door," the maid said humbly.
"Okay." Nan Wusi nodded, without suspecting anything, and went straight into the lounge.
But as soon as she went inside and closed the door, she heard the sound of the lock clicking shut.
Nan Wusi immediately tried to pull the door open, but found that it was impossible to open.
"Damn it, we've fallen into a trap." This was the only thought in Nan Wusi's mind at that moment.
She looked around the room and noticed that there seemed to be a bed in the inner room, and someone seemed to be lying on the bed.
Upon closer inspection, Nan Wusi realized that this person was none other than the heir of the Yongsheng Marquis's mansion. Judging from the smell of alcohol on him, he must have drunk too much and been placed here by someone.
It seemed that someone wanted to ruin her reputation. At this moment, Namo thought understood the cause and effect.
Nan Wusi walked around the room and found that all the windows were locked. Just as she was about to break them open by force, she found that she couldn't muster any strength and a sense of restlessness welled up inside her.
"Holy crap." Nan Wusi cursed inwardly. Wasn't this just a common drugging plot in novels? But she had no idea when she had been drugged.
Nan Wusi never expected that he would be defeated by such despicable means.
"Xiao Ba, Xiao Ba," Nan Wusi called out to the system in his mind.
"Host, what is it?" Xiao Ba's mechanical voice sounded.
"Is there any way to get rid of my current situation?" Nan Wusi asked immediately.
"There's no way," Xiao Ba replied directly.
"Then how can I use this martial art?" Nan Wusi asked. She needed to get out as soon as possible, otherwise things would get really bad if someone came.
"Host, you can try upgrading your martial arts to a higher level. You should be able to use it the moment you level up. However, I can't guarantee it." Xiao Ba's mechanical voice sounded like heavenly music in Nan Wusi's mind.
"Okay, upgrade immediately," Nanwu said without hesitation.
"Upgrade successful, host, hurry up," Xiao Ba reminded him.
In that instant, Nan Wusi mustered all his strength, smashed the window, and then leaped out.
After climbing out of the window, Nan Wusi rolled around on the ground a few times, looking quite disheveled. However, she didn't care at the moment and could only stumble and run away as far as possible.
As Nan Wusi ran, she felt her vision begin to blur, and the heat in her body became more and more intense. She had no choice but to harden her heart and bite her tongue. The instant pain cleared her mind a little.
"If my mother finds out who plotted against me, she'll never forgive her," Nan Wusi thought viciously.
Suddenly, she saw Xiao Yi walking towards her on the path ahead. Without thinking, Nan Wu rushed forward, threw herself on top of Xiao Yi, and managed to squeeze out, "Save me."
Xiao Yi originally wanted to take action, but he recognized Nan Wusi's voice. Although he couldn't see the specific situation, he knew that Nan Wusi was in a very bad state.
He sensed that Nan Wusi was very hot, so he knocked Nan Wusi unconscious and then helped him up.
"Xuan Li, go and inform the old lady of the General's Mansion that Miss Nan is unwell and has returned home first."
After Xuan Li pointed Xiao Yi in the right direction, Xiao Yi used his lightness skill to take Nan Wusi away from the Prime Minister's residence.
Xiao Yi led Nan Wusi into his carriage, and Nan Wusi's body involuntarily twisted, unconsciously searching for a source of coolness, so he clung tightly to Xiao Yi like an octopus.
Even with all his might, Xiao Yi couldn't pull it off, and his expression was extremely uncomfortable. But he didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of hurting Nan Wusi, who was still unconscious.
After bringing Nan Wusi back to Prince Yi's residence, he summoned his physician and quickly prepared an antidote.
The old lady of the General's Mansion, having experienced many trials and tribulations, naturally understood the implied meaning in Xuan Li's words. She immediately drove to Prince Yi's Mansion and brought Nan Wusi back.
"Thank you for saving my granddaughter, Your Highness. My General's Mansion owes you a debt of gratitude." The old lady was still feeling lingering fear. What would she have done if something had really happened to her precious granddaughter?
“Madam, there’s no need for thanks. I have a very good relationship with Miss Nan, so it’s only natural that I would help her in such a situation,” Xiao Yi replied politely.
The old lady hadn't expected that, judging from Prince Yi's words, it seemed that her granddaughter had a close relationship with him. After thanking him again, she hurriedly drove back to the General's Mansion.
Ouyang Jiangli had prepared an excuse to lead a large group of people to catch the adulterer in the act, but when they arrived, they found only the young master of the Yongsheng Marquis's mansion lying on the bed in the lounge, and the window had a large hole in it. He knew that his plan had failed again.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Mu gave Ouyang Jiangli a deep look. He could naturally tell that Ouyang Jiangli had deliberately led everyone here.
When Ouyang Xinxi learned of this and then thought about how she had taken Nan Wusi to the rest room, she was terrified and extremely anxious, fearing that Nan Wusi had misunderstood her.
Ouyang Xinxi never expected that the mother and daughter had been so quiet all night because they were plotting against Nan Wusi. She was very annoyed. Fortunately, Nan Wusi did not fall for their trap, otherwise she would have no face to face Nan Wusi in the future.
And that maidservant was also one of Ouyang Jiangli's people. Ouyang Xinxi realized she had underestimated Ouyang Jiangli; she would have to be much more cautious in the future.
