The once vast Sheng family is now reduced to only Old Master Sheng, Sheng Zhuoting, Sheng Hantao, and Sheng Qing.
Aunt Feng pretended to be busy in the kitchen while secretly observing the situation in the living room.
Madam Sheng's target is Sheng Zhuoting, while Qin Feifei's target is Sheng Qing.
In order to facilitate this matter and to avoid anyone getting in the way, she planned to add some extra ingredients to both Mr. Sheng and Sheng Hantao.
Of course, she wouldn't be foolish enough to add it to the sleeping tea herself. Drugging requires a flawless process, after all, the Sheng family is not easy to fool now, and they have become suspicious of Madam Sheng and Qin Feifei.
Their little schemes couldn't escape the notice of the four shrewd people.
Gu Wanwan's prediction came true; Madam Sheng and Qin Feifei planned to use drugs to succeed.
At this moment, Madam Sheng brought Qin Feifei and Aunt Feng into the living room. Aunt Feng carried a pot of soothing tea, while Qin Feifei carried a tray with several cups on it.
"Everyone, have a drink. Aunt Feng and Feifei, you all have a drink. You must be exhausted today." Madam Sheng naturally distributed the cups, then picked up the teapot and poured a cup for each of the four members of the Sheng family.
Finally, he poured himself a glass, and also poured a glass for himself, Aunt Feng, and Qin Feifei.
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Madam." Aunt Feng took the cup first and drank it down in one gulp without hesitation in front of Old Master Sheng and the others.
Qin Feifei understood and took the cup and drank it. "Thank you, Madam Sheng. I will do my job well in the Sheng family from now on."
Madam Sheng nodded, exchanged a glance with them, and then drank the calming tea. "What are you all standing there for? The three of us finished it all. It tastes really good. Drink it while it's hot and go to bed early. You have to go to work tomorrow."
The three of them tested the 'poison' on themselves in order to dispel the suspicions of the four men, including the Sheng family.
Seeing that they hadn't moved yet, Aunt Feng and Qin Feifei were getting very anxious. The two of them praised the tea as if it were from heaven.
If it weren't for Wanwan's protective amulet chain, they would have really been fooled by Madam Sheng's acting skills.
As Old Master Sheng reached for the cup and brought it to his lips, the amulet on his chest suddenly became hot.
The three Sheng Zhuoting father and sons had the same feeling. They were puzzled. They had all drunk the same pot of sleeping tea, so why were they all fine? Could it be that they had taken some kind of antidote beforehand?
But soon, Sheng Qing noticed something important. He picked up the teapot on the table, but the necklace didn't get hot, which was enough to show that the sleeping tea in the teapot was not drugged.
The problem lies with the cup. It seems the medicine was applied directly to the rim of the cup, and even around the entire rim. No matter how you drink from it, you'll get poisoned.
Old Master Sheng understood immediately, took the teapot from Sheng Qing's hand, and instantly felt the heat from the necklace dissipate quickly. "This teapot is quite nice. Oh, there's quite a lot of tea in it. I'll just drink this much. Aunt Feng, if you like it, these cups are for you."
"Dad, I heard that the tea in the teapot is stronger. Let me have a sip." Sheng Zhuoting pushed away the cup of tea, took the teapot from his father, and poured it into his mouth from the spout. "Hantao, Xiaoqing, you drink the tea from the pot. The tea from the pot is the essence. Don't let Aunt Feng and the others down."
Sheng Hantao and Sheng Qing decisively pushed the cups in front of Madam Sheng and the other two, and the two brothers then finished the tea in the teapot. Afterwards, they pretended to burp and said, "We can't drink anymore. The other cups are for you. Don't waste them. Drink them now."
