Chapter 128: Catch the Turtle in the Jar
Yuan Wanru immediately spat out the food in her mouth. When Aunt Pang and others saw this, they were very surprised.
"Someone has drugged this dish."
If she guessed correctly, this should be a knockout drug with Suxiang flowers added.
The scent of the crispy flower is mellow and is often added to medicines to improve their taste. When added to dishes, it is more like a condiment. Unless you are a very sensitive person, you will not be able to taste it at all.
Sun Haining's face suddenly changed, and she immediately stood up and tried to run out, but Yuan Wanru was quick to grab her hand.
"Wanru, my brother and the others must have eaten it. I'm going to tell them."
In order to avoid suspicion, Yuan Wanru and Sun Haining set up the meal in the room.
The rooms they lived in were next to each other and were located deep in the corridor, so compared to them, Sun Huanzhi and the others would have dinner earlier.
It was because Sun Haining thought of this that he rushed to stop it. The less he ate, the better.
Yuan Wanru said calmly: "You forgot that we both agreed to wash up before eating. The food in our room is the last one. If you walk out now, you can't change anything."
"Then... do you have any solution?"
Sun Haining felt at ease when he saw Shang Yuan Wanru's calm gaze.
She has martial arts skills and is not afraid of a delicate girl like Yuan Wanru, so she cannot panic.
"That's right, just listen to me. Let's catch the turtle in the jar and see who is plotting against us behind the scenes."
Sun Haining immediately put aside his worries about Sun Huanzhi.
She loves this kind of thrilling and exciting things the most.
After Yuan Wanru and Sun Haining finished their meal, the waiter cleaned up the leftovers and returned to the kitchen.
Someone who cared about it took a look and thought, wow, they eat quite cleanly.
If the medicine that man gave me is really that effective, I can easily get five thousand taels of silver tonight.
Not long after, Nanny Pang, Liu Yan and Liu Zhi came together, carrying a large copper pot, to deliver ginger tea to Shi Hai and other guards.
"The eldest young lady's wife said that you have worked hard. It was cold at night, so you drank ginger tea to warm your body and get rid of the cold."
Shi Hai was the first to drink it. As soon as the tea entered his mouth, he knew something was wrong.
There is not even a hint of ginger in it, but instead there is a unique medicinal smell.
He glanced at Aunt Pang calmly, and Aunt Pang said pointedly, "Madam Da Shao complained that the food tonight was a bit salty. I wonder if Guard Shi can get used to it?"
"If you also find it salty, you should drink more ginger tea, so you don't have to look for tea to quench your thirst at night."
Aunt Pang had a smile on her face, but her expression when she looked at Shi Hai was very serious. Shi Hai felt gloomy, thinking that there seemed to be something wrong with tonight's meal.
Although he didn't know how the eldest young lady knew it, he had dealt with her many times. She was not a simple woman. She had hurt Miss Liang so badly in Hongxiufang, and he would never forget it for the rest of his life.
"Madam, the eldest young master, is considerate of us. Shi is grateful."
"Don't worry, Ma'am. I'll share this pot of tea with everyone. I guarantee you won't be thirsty at night. I won't waste the Madam's kindness."
It is convenient to talk to smart people. When Aunt Pang turned around, she happened to meet Sun Haining.
Sun Haining shook his head helplessly: "Your Lu family cares so much about your subordinates, but it seems that our Sun family has no humanity."
"Madam Pang, do you have more ginger tea? If you have, I'll have someone get some and send it to the Sun family's guards."
Madam Pang smiled and said, "This thing is not worth much. I have two large pots of it in my room. I will have someone bring it to you right away."
The person observing in secret listened for a long time but didn't notice anything wrong.
Isn’t this how wealthy families are hypocritical?
Since it shows the kindness of the superior, he is reluctant to spend money.
Giving two sips of tea is considered considerate. If you really care about others, you should give more money to each person. This is a real favor.

The autumn night is already cool, and at three o'clock in the morning, I am sleeping soundly.
There was silence in the Qingquan Inn, with only the lights in the corridor shining quietly.
Not long after, a stealthy figure walked out. He stood in the shadows, looking at the guards standing not far away, muttering in his heart, "Isn't it said that the medicine is rare in the world? Why are these people still standing here on guard?"
Just as I was thinking about it, the people in front of me fell to the ground one after another.
Done!
He chuckled a few times and went to the kitchen to find some companions: "Boss, those people are all down."
In the kitchen, there were no longer any kitchen helpers from Qingquan Inn. There were only a dozen burly men sitting around the stove, drinking wine and chatting.
"Boss, these guys are really durable. Didn't we feed some to others yesterday? They fell unconscious at the first watch."
The leader was a middle-aged man with a pale face named Zhao Wu.
He looks like a kind person, but in fact, he is a ruthless character who robs and kills people. Dozens of people have died at his hands.
He raised the wine in his hand, drank it all, and stood up with great momentum: "Let's go, you guys go and loot the property, I will take that little girl away myself."
Zhao Wu originally planned to kill everyone here.
He loved to rob and kill wealthy and powerful people the most. In the process, those who usually looked down on him would kneel down and beg for mercy in order to save their lives, making all kinds of ugly gestures, but in the end they still died under his knife.
The pleasure of dominating other people's lives is extremely refreshing.
However, Zhao Wu is a cautious person, otherwise he would not have been able to get away with it for more than 20 years.
There were forty or fifty people in the inn. If they all died, it would make too much noise.
Take money from others and help them eliminate disasters.
These two groups of people seem to be of high status, so he cannot take risks just for the sake of momentary pleasure.
What the buyer wants is the little woman's life.
People from wealthy families care most about their reputation.
If this person were kidnapped, I'm afraid my family wouldn't dare to make it public.
The young woman had a first-rate appearance and figure. He just happened to be in need of a woman to warm his bed. After he had kidnapped her and tasted her to his heart's content, it would not be too late to kill her.
-
While no one was paying attention, Sun Haining changed into a maid's clothes and hid in Yuan Wanru's room.
It is still unknown whether the person hiding in the dark is targeting the Lu family or the Sun family.
But Yuan Wanru doesn't know martial arts, and Sun Haining feels that he should protect her.
Yuan Wanru did not refuse. At a time like this, it was more beneficial to stay together than to separate.
Sun Huanzhi also agreed to do this. After all, she was Lu Jiangnian's wife, and he couldn't just let her get hurt under their noses.
It was late at night and any movement in the inn could be detected.
Sun Haining stood up sternly: "Someone is coming, Wanru, hide yourself for a while, I'm worried about hurting you by mistake."
Yuan Wanru asked her, "Did those people come directly to my room?"
Sun Haining was stunned. Yes, their room was at the very end.
If they really came directly to Wanru's room, then it was obvious that the person to be dealt with in this accident was Wanru.
"one person."
Yuan Wanru smiled and said, "Why are you hiding? I'll be waiting here."
