Chapter 410: Warming the Wine: Too Many Wolves, Too Little Meat
"You don't have to apologize for anything. You are the legitimate wife, Honghui's mother. If you call me, I will come."
As the Fourth Master spoke, he picked up the snacks that the Lady had brought over and took them to the table on the other side, further away from Wen Jiu. It was obvious that he didn't want Wen Jiu to eat them.
Upon hearing this, Ulanara couldn't help but smile. Before she could say anything, she saw the Fourth Master waving at the wine in the back, "What are you standing there for? Sit down and talk."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand directly towards Wenjiu.
At this moment, everyone around was stunned.
Even Wenjiu was stunned for a moment.
The Fourth Master, impatient with waiting, suddenly stood up and forcefully pulled the hand that was warming the wine away, saying, "Since I told you to sit down, you should sit down. Why are you hiding in the back?"
Wenjiu bore the enormous pressure and silently followed the Fourth Master's instructions and sat beside him.
[Ding, harvested 1 Ulanara Clan's Heartless Heart.]
[Ding, harvested 5 Liu's Cruel Hearts.]
Warming the wine: "..."
There are too many wolves and too little meat, so it's another fierce competition.
[Master, you speak as if you are not a wolf.]
Wenjiu: “…”Okay, she too.
When Ulanara saw this, the color faded a little from her face. In the past, the prince always sat in the main seat, and she would sit beside him and serve him.
But today, Lord Beile did not sit in the main seat, but chose to sit on the left, and Wenjiu sat right in the seat closest to him.
Since Prince Beile was not seated at the head, it was naturally impossible for Ulanara to sit at the main seat. However, sitting to the right was too far away from Prince Beile. So she smiled and stood beside the Fourth Master, saying, "Prince Beile, I will stand by your side and serve you."
The Fourth Master didn't care much about it. In his memory, Fu Jin just liked to serve people. Since she wanted to stand, then let her stand.
Wen Jiu saw Ulanara looking at him fiercely, but he remained motionless.
Ulanara's teeth chattered as she finally said, "How about I serve a cup of tea to Sister Wen as well?"
Wen Jiu was stunned: "I dare not, Fu Jin you..."
"If you want to serve tea, then do it." The Fourth Master suddenly said.
Wen Jiu and Ulanara looked over in confusion for a moment.
The Fourth Master simply patted the hand that was warming the wine and said, "It's hard to refuse Fu Jin's kindness. Don't refuse it."
His wife likes to serve others, how could the little girl know this? He discovered this by accident.
Fu Jin looked at the Fourth Master in disbelief: "Master Beile..."
How could Lord Beile be like this?
She is the legitimate wife!
Just as she was about to say something, Liu had already started wiping away her tears: "Lord Beile, please help me. Someone in this mansion wants to kill me."
The Fourth Master looked at Liu Shi in front of him, and it took him a while to recognize her as the one who had nearly spilled his food last time. This woman had even been yelling that she wanted to apologize to Jiu'er.
The Fourth Master frowned slightly, remembering Jiu'er's words about giving him croton powder. With a strange expression on his face, he asked, "Who in the mansion wants to kill you?"
When Liu said this, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she pointed her finger at Wenjiu with a bit of malice in her eyes.
"Lord Beile, it's this bitch, it's her. The last time I ate the food she sent me, I had an unbearable stomachache that lasted for several days!"
The Fourth Master turned his gaze to Wen Jiu calmly: "Jiu'er, why didn't you send her food?"
Wen Jiu shook his head, his face sincere, "No, I haven't. Jiu'er's food is barely enough for himself, so why would I give it to others? But earlier, Liu Gege snatched away Jiu'er's food. Gege said it exceeded the quota."
Just as Liu was about to speak, the Fourth Master suddenly slammed the table and said, "What? Your wife is fine, and you want to be the head of the family?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu shuddered and knelt down to kowtow. "My Lord, it was my fault. Even if I was confused for a moment, she poisoned the food with warm wine. She wanted to kill me. She is the most vicious and evil woman. My Lord, please see her true face!"
"How dare you call me a bitch again? I'll cut off your tongue."
The Fourth Master looked over with cold eyes, and Liu Shixia's face turned even paler. For a moment, the whole room was silent.
The Fourth Master glanced around at everyone, tapped his fingers twice on the table, and suddenly said, "Go call the doctor from the Liu Mansion and take a good look to see if she's been poisoned."
The doctor from the Liu Mansion came hurriedly with a medicine box to take Liu's pulse.
"The court doctor must take a good look at this matter. This is not something to be taken lightly."
Fu Jin said this lightly. Doctor Liu looked over and saw that Fu Jin's eyes were deep. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"Well, let's take a good look. I want to see who in this mansion has the ability to poison you and still let you swallow it willingly."
The doctor in the Liu residence took the patient's pulse with a trembling hand. After a long moment, he lowered his eyes and clasped his fists before the Fourth Master, saying, "To answer your Lord, the princess is not poisoned. It's just that her body was weak to begin with, and she recently took extremely strong tonic herbs, which has made her health worse. If this continues, something serious will happen. Fortunately, the princess's illness was short-lived. From now on, she only needs to eat lighter foods, and she will recover in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Ulanara frowned immediately. "So that's how it is, Liu. You too, shouldn't take supplements when you're not feeling well. Not only will you harm yourself, but you'll also be wrongly blaming Sister Wen."
Then, Fu Jin pointed to the soup bowl over there and said, "Please ask the court doctor to take a look and see which medicinal ingredient is too strong. These are what Liu eats every day."
Upon hearing this, the doctor at the Liu residence immediately squatted over to examine the soup. When he swallowed a bowl of soup, his brows furrowed. "This is supposed to be a bowl of warming mushroom and chicken soup, but it seems to contain ginseng of considerable age. It's extremely potent. Perhaps it's at least three hundred years old?"
As soon as these words came out, Fu Jin frowned. "Three hundred year old ginseng is already rare. There are only a few in the whole capital. I saw two five hundred year old ones earlier, and they belonged to Prince Beile. Liu, where did you get these ginseng supplements?"
"Fujin, I don't have any money. How can I afford to buy that hundred-year-old ginseng? This warming soup was sent by the kitchen. Everyone in the kitchen knows that I'm not in good health. How could I possibly use such a strong ginseng?"
Liu was in a trance, as if she had thought of something, and she screamed, "Someone wants to harm me! Someone wants to use their body to harm me!"
After hearing this, Ulanara frowned and asked, "House Doctor, if Liu keeps drinking like this, what will happen in the end?"
"The drug is very potent. If Liu Gege drinks it like this for two months, she might die from the conflict between her Qi and meridians."
As soon as these words were spoken, Fu Jin immediately covered her face, as if she was frightened.
Liu immediately knelt and cried, "Lord Beile, someone said that he wanted to kill me. I beg you to investigate thoroughly!"
Liu was really frightened at this moment. She thought that it was the medicine in Wenjiu that made her so weak.
Now she realized that someone wanted to kill her. She had only been in the mansion for a few days, so how could she have become an eyesore to others?
When Wen Jiu heard this, he knew that this situation was ultimately aimed at him.
A 500-year life is indeed rare, but I happen to have it.
Because this thing was given to me by my grandfather some time ago. It contains not only 500-year-old ginseng, but also Ganoderma lucidum.
Since she became pregnant, the Fourth Master had given her a lot of nourishing herbs. She just didn't know what others thought of her.
Wenjiu was not in a hurry, but just watched quietly. She was also curious about what other tricks they had.
