Chapter 47: This is for you
After realizing what was happening, Tanxiang immediately ran out of the door to vomit, trying to spit out the tea. Qing'er ran out again and asked her if she was feeling unwell.
Tan Xiang angrily called her a fool!
Qing'er quickly raised her hand and shushed him, then pointed inside the house, asking Tanxiang to speak more quietly so that Jiang Lan wouldn't hear.
"Who told you to pour tea for me?" Tan Xiang asked in a low voice and continued to vomit.
Qing'er explained, "The young lady saw that you were exhausted, so she poured you a cup of tea and asked me to give it to you so that you could have some tea and rest."
"Don't you know there's medicine in the tea?" Tan Xiang continued to vomit after saying this.
Qing'er said aggrievedly: "You didn't tell me, how would I know..."
Tan Xiang was speechless. She indeed did not tell Qing'er that the tea was drugged. She was supposed to pour the tea for Jiang Lan, but she drank it herself by mistake.
Qing'er asked what kind of medicine was in it. She wondered if it was poison. She was shocked when she asked this question.
Tan Xiang calls her a fool again.
At this time, Guier came over with a clean dress.
At this point, there was nothing Tan Xiang could do to save the situation, and the plan failed again.
According to the original plan, after Jiang Lan drank the cup of tea, Qing'er would go and hold Gui'er back, and then a servant arranged by Zhang would come over. Tanxiang would keep watch outside the door, and when the time was almost up, he would go back and tell Zhang. Then Zhang would quietly tell Du that Jiang Lan was having a tryst with someone, and ask Du not to make it public, and the two of them would come together to catch the adulterer.
Now Tan Xiang just hoped that the servant would not rush in rashly, and would quickly retreat if he found that something was wrong.
With a "wow" sound, Tan Xiang vomited out another mouthful of sour water. When he couldn't spit out anything else, he realized that he had spit out all the tea.
When Jiang Lan came out after changing her dress, Qing'er came over supporting the exhausted Tanxiang, saying that Tanxiang had a stomach upset. Jiang Lan asked Gui'er to go over and support Tanxiang, and asked the two of them to help her into the house to rest. She also asked Gui'er to call a doctor, but Tanxiang quickly stopped her, saying that she would be fine after resting for a while.
Jiang Lan poured her another cup of tea and asked her to drink some first. Before she could finish her words, Tan Xiang started vomiting again, as if it was a conditioned reflex.
Seeing that Tan Xiang looked like she was about to vomit out her heart, liver, spleen and lungs, Jiang Lan asked Qing'er to take her back first and then ask Doctor Liu to come over. Tan Xiang could no longer hold on, so she was supported by Qing'er and left first.
"Miss, it would be too easy for her to just let her go like this," Gui'er said, pointing to the teapot on the table. "She should be given all the tea!"
"Don't be impatient." Jiang Lan picked up the cup of tea on the table, turned it around, and poured the tea onto the ground with a flip of her hand.
After coming out, she saw the person standing at the door. She was slightly stunned, paused for a moment, and walked over with Guier.
"Miss, can I have a moment to talk with you?" Qi Wuhan said gracefully while waving a fan, with a unique playful tone in his voice, which seemed to be teasing but not out of place.
The two walked aside to talk, while Ling Feng and Gui Er waited there.
Qi Wuhan said that he had caught a sneaky thief on the way here and asked her what she wanted to do with him. Jiang Lan knew that the thief was probably the adulterer arranged by Zhang, so she asked him to help keep him for now, as he would be useful later.
"Is there anything else you want to ask me?" Jiang Lan's slight hesitation was captured by those peach blossom eyes. Qi Wuhan leaned forward slightly to close the distance between them, and smiled, "I will tell you everything I know."
Jiang Lan lowered her eyes, as if she didn't dare to look him in the eye, then raised them again and faced his gaze like a warrior. "Just now, the third daughter of the Zheng family told me that you had caused trouble for her father a few days ago, and she also asked me to say a few good words to you, asking you not to cause trouble for her father in the future."
At this point, she hesitated for a moment, which he again keenly noticed. He stared into her eyes and asked in a playful and low voice, "What else?"
Jiang Lan clenched her fists and risked her life. "She said you went to trouble her father because of me," she paused and added two words.
"She's right. This is for you." Qi Wuhan admitted without hesitation, and deleted the two extra words.
Jiang Lan felt a heat spreading from her face to the top of her head. She opened her mouth, her eyes showing an urgency, as if she was eager to get the answer to a question. She just said the word "you" and then stopped, her eyes drooping. When she raised her head again, the urgency in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a clarity...a clarity that if she couldn't bear the second blow, it would be better not to know...
The moment she opened her mouth, Qi Wuhan clearly felt that she was about to open her heart to him, but the moment her eyes lowered, he also clearly felt that her heart was closed again.
What exactly makes the little girl care so much and yet so afraid to face it?
He had never been so worried even when he was leading troops in battle...
On this side, Jiang Yao was complaining to Zhang that after the last meal, Pei Qian had a quarrel with her and had been sleeping in the study since then and had never come to her room again.
Zhang asked what the two were arguing about. Jiang Yao was too embarrassed to say it at first, but when she remembered how Pei Qian had slapped her in the face in public to help Jiang Lan during the game of pitching pots, she decided not to give Pei Qian face.
On the way home in the carriage that day, the two had an argument. Jiang Yao asked him why he kept staring at Jiang Lan while eating. Pei Qian said that she was being unreasonable and he was too lazy to pay attention to her.
After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Pei Qian began to bring up the past with her. Although he didn't explicitly say she seduced him, the implication was clear. Jiang Yao was completely enraged, scolding him for being fickle and fickle, and asking him if he wanted to divorce her and marry Jiang Lan. Pei Qian didn't deny it, and Jiang Yao rushed over to hit him, but Pei Qian pushed him to the ground. He then left and slept in the study, and the two of them were in a constant cold war.
Jiang Yao asked Jiang Lan when she would marry into her aunt's family, thinking that as long as Jiang Lan got married, Pei Qian's thoughts would be completely cut off.
Zhang was too embarrassed to tell her that her plan had failed again, so she told her not to worry about these things and gave her advice on how to reconcile with Pei Qian.
After comforting Jiang Yao, Zhang saw that her makeup was a little smudged due to crying, so she asked the maid to take her to wash her face first, and wondered in her heart why Tan Xiang hadn't come back yet?
At this time, a little maid brought Jiang Lan back. Zhang knew that the plan had failed again, and she was filled with hatred.
Ever since she failed in the matter of becoming the Duke's wife, Zhang failed every time and began to suspect that she was plagued by bad luck.
Thinking about being haunted by some plague god, Zhang couldn't help but shudder and decided to go to Sanqing Temple to burn incense and pray tomorrow.
When Jiang Lan came over with Gui'er, Zhang didn't want her to get close to her, thinking that she was the one who brought her bad luck, and maybe she was the one who attracted the plague god.
Thinking about the fact that Jiang Lan had gone to Sanqing Temple to burn incense a few days ago, Zhang became more and more suspicious. Could it be that she had gone there to curse her?
Seeing Zhang looking at her with suspicion, Jiang Lan remained calm and reported that Tan Xiang was not feeling well, so she asked Qing'er to send her back first.
Zhang felt suspicious again when she heard this.
When Jiang Yao came over and saw Jiang Lan was also there, her face suddenly darkened. Zhang sent Jiang Lan for a walk in the garden. Jiang Lan didn't want to stare at Jiang Yao here, so she took Gui'er and left first.
