Chapter 461 That's Not Love

Young men and women.

Sometimes it's normal to fall in love at a party, 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 smiled helplessly: "Let's go, Lao Chen. I have something important to tell you when I get back."

She wanted to reread the book of Nine Plum Blossom Needles that Cheng Han had given her to see if she could find any clues.

"Okay, Madam."

Just as they were about to leave, they heard the woman scream.

"Let go! Xiangze..."

"Help!"

The woman's mouth seemed to be blocked very quickly, and she could only make soft whimpering sounds, which were fragmented and chaotic.

This is not love between men and women!

That woman called Xiangze?

Qiao Xi paused, and a guess flashed through her mind. Master Guan said that the Guan family was a piece of juicy fish, and everyone wanted to take a bite.

Lu Yan and Xiang Ze's behavior just now was very unusual. When the birthday banquet 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, Madam."

Old Chen walked in front with a vigilant look on his face. Young Sun did not dare to breathe heavily and followed beside 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 carefully and found that the man was Xiang Ze who had left the table!

But the woman was in his arms and he couldn't see her clearly.

"Old Chen, go and take him away..." Qiao Xi lowered her voice and gave a few instructions.

Lao Chen listened to her and approached the couple carefully. When Xiang Ze was not paying attention, he chopped Xiang Ze's neck with a knife.

Xiangze fell to the ground.

The woman who was restrained by him also sat on the ground helplessly, looking a little strange.

Old Chen exclaimed softly, "Young Madam, he has passed out!"

Qiao Xi walked up to them and kicked Xiang Ze as she passed him.

I feel dizzy!

Her eyes fell on the woman who was 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. He felt as if an electric shock had passed through his body. He was afraid that it was an illusion.

The woman was wearing the most difficult white dress. Under the light, her skin was white as snow and her face was like jade. Her peach blossom eyes were smart, cold and arrogant, with a vigilant look, looking at her with a radiant brilliance that was enchanting and soul-stirring.

The new moon is hazy, graceful and beautiful.

Just like a solitary orchid in a valley!

She is even prettier than the beauties walking out of the paintings of ladies.

It is said that the Guwaljia 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 banquet came for her, and some even felt that marrying Guan Jingtan was equivalent to owning the entire Guan family.

After Qiao Xi thought about it carefully, she understood Xiang Ze and Lu Yan's plan.

If the Xiang family could marry Guan Jingtan, they would definitely be able to make further progress.

No wonder Master Guan said that...

Qiao Xi confirmed again: "Are you Miss Guan?"

The beauty was completely exhausted, and with red eyes she looked at them warily and said, "I am, 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 a long needle from the goose feathers embellishing her skirt and stabbed it into her fingertips under Guan Jingtan's astonished gaze.

Blood dripping from the fingertips.

Qiao Xi pressed the Daling point on Guan Jingtan's wrist to relieve 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 left with medicine 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 Hun's body gradually subsided.

She said dryly, "Thank you. Are you a Chinese doctor?"

Qiao Xi glanced at her, took off the silver needle and asked, "I'm Qiao Xi, from Haicheng."

Guan Jingtan breathed a sigh of relief: "So you are Master Cheng Han's apprentice Qiao Xi! Master Cheng used to call my grandfather and told him that he had accepted a very talented apprentice."

Guan Jingtan was about to get up while holding onto the wall, and Sun Weimeng hurried forward and carefully helped her up.

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 it a done deal. But if he forces me in private, our Guan family will definitely not recognize it."

"So he needs to find 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 centuries-old heritage and a newly rising noble family were indeed different.

Xiang Mingzhu, who is arrogant and vicious, is nothing in front of Guan Jingtan.

Xiang Ze calculated that Guan Jingtan would be self-disciplined and put the family first, which is why he resorted to such a desperate measure.

This method is crude and dirty, but effective.

Guan Jing Tan Mei 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 have to pay the price!"

Qiao Xi glanced at him and said, "So 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. It would be better to strip him naked and throw him into the lake!"

Qiao Xi sighed inwardly, this Miss Guan looked dignified and weak, but she also had backbone.

Sun Weimeng stood aside, filled with righteous indignation, even angrier than Guan Jingtan: "Throwing him into the lake is too easy for him, he should be allowed to suffer the consequences! I will take care of this, I have experience! Even if there are no conditions, we must create them."

He grinned, took out his phone and looked through his address book.

Qiao Xi leaned over and took a look. Sun Shao’s address book was strange in that 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 really has a lot of friends.

Sun Weimeng laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth: "It's done, wait and see!"

…

In the banquet hall, the lights were as bright as day.

The Guan family’s birthday banquet is about to officially begin. Old Master Guan doesn’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 the most respectful of etiquette."

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 tryst. The Guan family rejected the Xiang family's proposal, but Miss Guan seems to have a good impression of Mr. 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 was rejected by the Guan family because of a soft spot given by Mr. Guan!

Mrs. Guan retorted, "Don't slander Ah Tan's innocence! Many people left the banquet, so why do you insist that they are together?"

"Whether it's slander or not, we'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 fully confident and showed his fangs at this time, not hiding his purpose.

He thought that by this time, the relationship between Xiang Ze and Guan Jingtan had already been settled.

Guan Jingtan, the most dignified and elegant girl in the imperial capital, was caught in bed with her clothes in disarray.

That must be a good show!
