Chapter 461 That’s Not Love
Young men and women.
Sometimes it is normal to fall in love at a banquet, and then find a place where there are not many people around to talk to each other and express your love.
Young Master Sun understands it best.
Qiao Xi let out a helpless smile: "Let's go, Lao Chen. I have something very important to tell you when I get back."
She wanted to look through the book of Plum Blossom Nine Needles that Cheng Han gave her again to see if she could find any clues.
"Okay, young lady."
Just as they were about to leave, they heard the woman scream.
"Let go! Xiang Ze..."
"Help!"
The woman's mouth seemed to be blocked very quickly, and she could only make soft whimpers, which were small and messy.
This is not love between men and women!
That woman called Xiang Ze?
Qiao Xi paused, a guess flashing through her mind. Grandpa Guan said the Guan family was a piece of fat fish, and everyone wanted to take a bite.
Lu Yan and Xiang Ze's behavior just now was very unusual. When the birthday party was about to begin, Xiang Ze left.
"Old Chen, let's go over and take a look. Be careful and don't make any noise."
Qiao Xi instructed softly.
"Okay, young lady."
Old Chen walked in front with a vigilant look on his face. Young Sun didn't dare to breathe and followed Qiao Xi.
The three of them walked around the path beside the Xiangfei bamboo and saw a tall man holding a woman walking towards the large bedroom on the first floor of the small building.
Qiao Xi looked closely and saw that the man was Xiang Ze who had left the table!
The woman was in his arms and he couldn't see clearly.
"Old Chen, go get him..." Qiao Xi gave a few instructions in a low voice.
Old Chen listened to her and approached the couple carefully. When Xiang Ze wasn't paying attention, he chopped Xiang Ze's neck with a knife.
Xiang Ze fell to the ground.
The woman who was restrained by him also sat down on the ground weakly, looking not quite right.
Old Chen exclaimed softly, "Young Madam, he's fainted!"
Qiao Xi walked up to them and kicked Xiang Ze as he walked around him.
I feel dizzy!
Her eyes fell on the woman half-sitting on the ground, and she was stunned!
There was a flash of surprise and admiration in his eyes.
Sun Weimeng didn't dare to blink, his whole body felt like it was electrified, fearing that it was an illusion.
The woman wore the most difficult white dress. Under the light, her skin was as white as snow, her complexion as jade. Her peach blossom eyes were bright, cold, and vigilant, their gaze captivating and captivating.
The new moon is haloed, and it is quiet and beautiful.
Just like a solitary orchid in a valley!
She is even more beautiful than the beauties in the paintings of ladies.
It is said that the Guwalja clan is famous for producing beauties!
If Qiao Xi guessed correctly, this woman was Guan Jingtan, the eldest daughter of the Guan family.
Most of the young talents at today's birthday party came for her, and some even thought that marrying Guan Jingtan would be equivalent to owning the entire Guan family.
After thinking about it carefully, Qiao Xi understood Xiang Ze and Lu Yan's plan.
If the Xiang family can marry Guan Jingtan, they will definitely take a step forward.
No wonder Mr. Guan said that...
Qiao Xi confirmed again: "Are you Miss Guan?"
The beauty was completely powerless, and with red eyes she looked at them warily and said, "I am you, who are you?"
Qiao Xi squatted down, pinched her wrist and felt her pulse: "You have been drugged."
She did not ask the reason, but took out a long needle from the goose feathers that decorated her skirt and pierced her fingertips in front of Guan Jingtan's astonished eyes.
Blood dripping from the fingertips.
Qiao Xi pressed the Dalingxue point on Guan Jingtan's wrist again to relieve her heat and clear her mind, making her feel more comfortable.
She had not studied this aspect when she originally studied medicine. She only studied it after she learned that Huo Xingzhou was drugged by Xu Xing.
I didn't expect it would come in handy today.
After struggling for more than ten minutes, the heat in Guan Jingtan's body gradually subsided.
She said with a dry mouth, "Thank you. Are you a Chinese medicine doctor?"
Qiao Xi glanced at her, took out the silver needle and asked, "I'm Qiao Xi, from Haicheng."
Guan Jingtan breathed a sigh of relief: "So you are Grandpa Cheng Han's apprentice Qiao Xi! Grandpa Cheng used to call my grandfather and say that he had accepted a talented apprentice."
Guan Jingtan was about to get up by holding onto the wall, and Sun Weimeng hurried forward and helped her up carefully.
Guan Jingtan grabbed Qiao Xi's wrist with his backhand: "Can you help me?"
Qiao Xi asked calmly, "How can I help you?"
Guan Jingtan took a deep breath and said, "Xiang Ze must have a trick up his sleeve. He just wanted to make things a fait accompli. But if he forces me privately, our Guan family will definitely not recognize it."
"So he needs a witness! Tonight is my grandfather's 70th birthday party, and all the guests will be his witnesses."
Guan Jingtan's eyes flickered: "If he succeeds, I will have no choice but to marry him in order to preserve the reputation of the Guan family."
Qiao Xi looked at her and thought that the daughter of a noble family with a century-old heritage and the newly emerging noble family were indeed different.
Someone as arrogant and domineering as Xiang Mingzhu, with a vicious mind, is nothing in front of Guan Jingtan.
Xiang Ze calculated that Guan Jingtan would be self-disciplined and put the family first, so he resorted to such a bad plan.
This method is crude and dirty but effective.
Guan Jingtanmei stared at Xiang Ze who had fainted on the ground and said, "I want you to help me fight back. My Guan family is not a soft persimmon. If you bully us, you will pay the price!"
Qiao Xi took a quick glance and said, "Then what are you going to do with him?"
Guan Jingtan's eyes flashed with disgust: "Of course I hope to give him a taste of his own medicine, but the conditions do not allow it. Why not strip him naked and throw him into the lake first!"
Qiao Xi sighed inwardly. This Miss Guan looked dignified and weak, but she also had backbone.
Sun Weimeng stood aside, indignant, even angrier than Guan Jingtan: "Throwing him into the lake is too easy for him, he should be allowed to suffer the consequences! I'll handle this, I have experience! Even if there are no conditions, we must create them."
He grinned and pulled out his phone to look through his contacts.
Qiao Xi leaned over and took a look. Sun Shao’s address book was strange. There was a location marked in front of each name.
This row of names are all like "Didu Xiaomei", "Didu Tingting", "Didu Anna" and so on. He has so many friends.
Sun Weimeng laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close: "Alright, wait and see the show!"
…
The lights in the banquet hall were as bright as day.
The Guan family’s birthday banquet was about to officially begin. Old Master Guan didn’t like birthday cakes, so the servants brought the beautifully made birthday peaches to the long table.
"Where's Miss Guan? I haven't seen her all night."
"Yes. Why doesn't the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital show up?"
"Don't be..."
Hearing the crowd's discussion, Mrs. Guan was also a little surprised: "Where did Ah Tan go? She is the most filial and respects etiquette the most."
Lu Yan leaned against the doorpost and said loudly, "What a coincidence! My brother Xiang Ze is missing too. These two might be having a secret meeting. The Guan family openly rejected the Xiang family's proposal, but Miss Guan seems to have a good impression of Young Master Xiang."
Everyone in the city knows what the Xiang and Lu families are thinking.
Before, the Xiang family wanted to propose marriage to the Guan family, but they were rejected by Old Man Guan!
Mrs. Guan retorted, "Don't slander A-Tan's innocence! Many people left the banquet, so why are you so sure that they are together?"
"Whether it's slander or not, you'll know at a glance! Maybe Miss Guan can become my sister-in-law. Aunt Guan, how about we go out and look for her together?"
Lu Yan was confident and showed his fangs at this time, and no longer concealed his purpose.
He thought that by this time, Xiang Ze and Guan Jingtan had already made a fait accompli.
Guan Jingtan, the most dignified and elegant girl in the imperial capital, was caught in bed with her clothes disheveled.
That must be a good show!
