At the Li residence, everyone was happily grilling fish when suddenly, all the young masters and ladies collapsed.
The servants panicked. Apart from the Gu family, all the other forty-odd young masters and ladies were prominent figures in Qingzhou Prefecture! Even the Gu family's daughter was the girl their young master liked. It wouldn't do if something happened to her!
Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, who were by Li Muyan's side, were the first to react and quickly ran to inform Madam Li of the situation.
In her dazed state, Gu Nian felt very hot, followed by a wave of restlessness, and her mind became somewhat confused.
She bit her tongue, regaining a little clarity, and then sat up to see a group of people lying on the ground around her. These were the people Li Muyan had invited to visit the lantern festival at his home, and their maids and servants were all calling out to their master.
Some, like her, have woken up, while others remain unconscious.
She quickly went to look at Gu Hui and Gu En: "Sister Huihui, Enzi!"
Unfortunately, neither of them responded to her.
Li Muyan, who was on her other side, woke up and called out to her.
Gu Nian heard Li Muyan's voice and suddenly had a feeling she had never had before. Her reaction made her guess somewhere.
She panicked. Oh no, she'd been hooked! The kind of drug from those melodramatic novels had appeared.
The actions of those who woke up at the same time as her confirmed her suspicions.
Those young masters immediately grabbed the maids not far away and began to...
Gu Nian felt Li Muyan pulling her hand, and she instinctively wanted to shake him off, but a voice in her head was clamoring and yearning.
Gu Nian bit her tongue again; the sweet and metallic taste made her a little more awake.
She looked at Gu Hui and Gu En on the ground and felt somewhat relieved that they were only unconscious.
Not all the others were awake; only a few, and they were all men. The maids of the girls were in a terrible predicament.
Those sounds only confused Gu Nian more.
The maids and servants nearby were stunned, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.
An old woman approached Li Muyan: "Young master, young master, please be more alert! Young Master Zhu is over there!"
Gu Nian was taken aback and glanced at the old woman. There was something wrong with this old woman!
Gu Nian grabbed Li Muyan, trying to stop him from leaving. But the moment her hand touched his, Li Muyan pulled her into his arms, saying, "Niannian, Niannian, I love you so much. I missed you, Niannian..."
Gu Nian felt like her tongue was being bitten raw. Her rational mind didn't like this, but her body had no strength, so she could only try to avoid it.
She punched Li Muyan hard: "Li Muyan, wake up!"
Li Muyan's eyes regained a sliver of clarity, but then he fell back into the same state as before, and he lunged at Gu Nian.
With a heavy heart, Gu Nian pulled out a dagger from her foot and stabbed Li Muyan in the arm.
She tried hard to control herself.
She did have some feelings for Li Muyan, but she didn't think she and Li Muyan had reached that point. Besides, their current relationship was clearly not normal.
Li Muyan, who had been stabbed, regained some of his senses. He looked at Gu Nian with a panicked expression: "Niannian, go quickly, go quickly, I don't want to hurt you. We're both poisoned."
Gu Nian: "I know. But Sister Huihui and Enzi are still here!"
Gu Nian's voice was different after taking the medicine, and Li Muyan was so attracted by her voice that he almost lost his mind again.
She pulled the hairpin from her hair and used it to cut the wound on her arm, causing blood to gush out. "Go find my mother quickly and tell her to figure something out. I'll watch over Huihui and Enzi."
When Madam Li arrived in a hurry with her colorful servants, this was the kind of appalling scene she saw.
She thought she was used to strong winds and heavy rain, but she was still frightened by this scene.
