"Daddy." Su Xiaohuan dragged Xiao Lingyu into the room, saying as they walked, "Don't forget to order Mom some of that beauty-enhancing lotus and ginseng soup, and my favorite Jade Dragon Snowflake Fish."
"We have everything. I've ordered the lotus cakes that Ming'er likes. How could Daddy forget the dishes you like?"
Su Xingyi sat with his back to the window facing the door, and as soon as he sat down he could see the private room opposite.
Xiao Lingyu and her daughter sat on his left, and Su Xiaoming sat on his right.
When Tai Zhuo tilted his head to look at the private room opposite, Su Yun just closed the door from the inside out.
The moment the door was closed, the familiar smell in the air gradually dissipated and became fainter in less than a breath or two, and then the aroma of food drifted into the room.
"Mr. Zhuo, your lunch is here." Shopkeeper Wu, with a smile on his face, led two waiters to deliver the food into the room.
These two people have been coming to the restaurant for meals every day these days, so Manager Wu naturally has to entertain them personally and not neglect them.
"Master Zhuo, the dishes are all here. Please enjoy your meal. If you need anything, please send someone to find me."
Shopkeeper Wu turned and left after saying this, "Wait."
"Master Zhuo, do you have any instructions?"
Tai Zhuo glanced at the door opposite and asked, "Are all the guests entertained in the private rooms on the third floor distinguished?"
"Yes, Master Zhuo, our third floor is used to entertain wealthy families in this county or wealthy businessmen from neighboring counties."
Tai Zhuo nodded: "Okay, I understand. Shopkeeper Wu, you can go back and get busy."
Shopkeeper Wu felt that Mr. Zhuo was a little strange today, so he didn't investigate further. He took his leave and left the room, closing the door behind him.
Lu Yuan whispered, "Sir, the mother and daughter wearing veils who just entered the Songyue Pavilion across the street, if I remember correctly, the fragrance they carry is stronger than the Xihan incense in the incense shop."
Tai Zhuo thought of the little girl wearing a veil in her mind. The child should be about her age.
"Lu Yuan, I want to see the face of that little girl under her veil."
Lu Yuan was surprised and said, "Sir, you don't think that child is the one we are looking for, do you?"
Tai Zhuo asked, "Did you see any child her age smelling like Xi Hanxiang along the way?"
Lu Yuan shook his head, "No, only the noble ladies and noble ladies have the scent of Xi Hanxiang."
"Since we met today, it is necessary to see her face and not miss any possibility."
Lu Yuan stood up and walked to the door. When he opened it, he saw Su Yun and Su Ying standing at the door with a wary look on their faces.
Lu Yuan pretended not to notice and turned to Tai Zhuo and said, "Master, do you still feel hot after opening a door?"
Tai Zhuo sat at the dining table against the light. Su Yun and Su Ying, despite their excellent vision, couldn't see clearly. They only heard a deep voice coming from the room, "Just turn it on to dissipate the heat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shopkeeper Wu brought a few waiters up to the third floor.
Brother Su Yun quickly opened the door, and Zhu Xu and Yan Wei walked out.
Lu Yuan quickly looked into the room and saw the backs of four maids.
Yan Wei took the food from the waiter and said, "Manager Wu, leave this to us."
Shopkeeper Wu smiled and said, "Okay, please call me if you need anything."
Zhu Xu and others were on high alert, so Lu Yuan couldn't see what was going on in the room at all, let alone see Su Xiaohuan's lovely face.
Mo Shu and the other three waited in front of the mother and daughter to serve the dishes, completely blocking Lu Yuan's peeping sight.
"Brother, you are very rude and disrespectful." The Su Yun brothers held their swords in their arms and glared at Lu Yuan.
"You can't afford to offend my master."
Lu Yuan said with an apologetic smile, "Brothers, it's a misunderstanding, I just came out to get some fresh air."
Lu Yuan turned and walked into the room.
Tai Zhuo frowned, "How?"
Lu Yuan whispered in his ear, "They're very cautious. The four guards are no less capable than me, so they can't get close to me easily."
Tai Zhuo picked up the chopsticks and fanned himself slowly.
After an unknown amount of time, the two Su Yun brothers who were guarding the door became weak and fell down one after another.
Zhu Xu heard the noise and opened the door. A burst of fragrance hit him in the face. Soon, people in Songyue Pavilion fainted one after another.
Xiao Lingyu was the last one to faint. Before he fainted, a pill appeared out of thin air in his palm and he quickly put it into his mouth.
Tai Zhuo put down his bowl and chopsticks and strode towards Songyue Pavilion.
The first thing that caught his eye was the four big maids, the two guards lying on the ground in a mess, Su Xingyi, Xiao Lingyu, and the two children with their heads buried on the table.
Lu Yuan quickly stepped forward and lifted Su Xiaohuan's face up, "Sir, is this the child?"
Tai Zhuo stared for a moment and shook his head, "Let's go."
Tai Zhuo turned and left the room, and Xiao Lingyu raised his head and glanced at Tai Zhuo's back.
I didn't expect this person to be so good at using poison.
Seeing the two of them go downstairs directly, Xiao Lingyu hurriedly checked everyone, then sat back in his seat and waited for them to wake up on their own.
In less than half a cup of tea, everyone woke up one after another.
"Mrs. Su, are you okay?"
Zhu Xu and Yan Wei woke up and looked at Xiao Lingyu immediately, feeling anxious and afraid.
They were so careless that they fell into the other party's trap!
The county princess had an accident. How should they explain it to the prince?
"It's okay, no need to worry."
Xiao Lingyu rubbed Su Xiaohuan's little head to comfort her, then looked at Su Xingyi and his son, "How do you feel?"
"Mom, I just smelled a strange smell and fell asleep. Is it that evil uncle with the mole who did this?"
Only then did Su Xiaoming realize that the person Si Mingming had asked him to keep an eye on earlier was so bad.
"Yes, it's him, but don't be afraid. He won't stand a chance next time."
Xiao Lingyu glanced at Su Xingyi's face and saw that his eyes were full of worry. He patted the back of his hand and said softly, "Don't worry, I will protect myself. When I go back today, I will prepare an antidote pill for each of you. Most poisons will not be able to get close to you, so you won't be affected and can protect me well."
Su Xingyi was filled with worry and was speechless for a moment. Just now, Xiaoyu was facing Tai Zhuo alone, and it was Xiaoyu who was protecting him.
"...Then I should carry more antidote pills with me."
"Okay, then I'll make you a sachet filled with antidote pills for you to carry with you."
Now that he knew Tai Zhuo's strength, Xiao Lingyu relaxed a lot and asked everyone to continue eating, as if nothing had happened just now.
After leaving the restaurant, the group rushed to the herbal medicine shop and bought a large bag of herbs and related tools to conceal their tracks.
After returning to the Su Mansion, Xiao Lingyu sent Su Xingyi away and locked himself in the room.
It was not until sunset and past dinner time that Xiao Lingyu opened the door of the wing room and walked out holding two large medicine bottles.
"Xingyi, look, the antidote pills are ready."
"Let's go eat first."
Su Xingyi noticed that she looked a little tired, so he picked her up in his arms like a princess and rushed to the dining hall.
