When Li Xia heard the footsteps coming from inside the teahouse, she suddenly became nervous and pursed her lips.
"Shh, Yousheng, just pretend you didn't see anything for a while. Remember, don't show it. We will act according to the situation." She listened to the footsteps approaching, and did not have time to say too much to Li Yousheng. She could only give him a few important instructions.
It is not yet known what the powder that appears on the rim of the cup is.
She couldn't make any rash conclusions.
But be cautious.
They didn't dare drink the tea in the cup anymore.
Hearing this, Li Yousheng looked up at Li Xia and nodded.
“Squeak—”
Just after Li Xia finished her instructions to Li Yousheng, the door of the teahouse opened from the inside.
"Why didn't you drink?" Yingniang came out of the teahouse with a kettle in her hand. She immediately noticed that the tea in Li Xia and Li Yousheng's cups had not been touched.
She frowned slightly, raised her eyes, looked at Li Xia, opened her mouth and asked.
Li Xia swallowed her saliva, blinked her eyes, pretended to be calm, opened her mouth and made an excuse: "It's a little hot, we just want to wait a while before drinking it."
I was in such a rush just now that I didn't even have time to pour out the tea in the cup.
Now she was only thinking about the fact that the teahouse owner had not become suspicious.
When Yingniang heard what Lixia said, she narrowed her eyes and raised her eyebrows, "Oh, really?"
Seeing how dry their lips are, they must have been rushing all the way without having any water.
I shouldn't have seen this kind of reaction to the tea I had finally gotten.
The water was hot though.
But it’s not so hot that you can’t eat it.
Yingniang raised her eyes and stared at Lixia with a scrutinizing look for a long time.
Could it be that this girl discovered something?
She was unsure.
After thinking about it, I decided to test it with words.
"Of course." Li Xia blinked and nodded.
She felt that Yingniang didn't really believe what she had just said.
But Li Xia didn't know where she had revealed her flaw.
Apart from this teahouse, there are no other houses in this place.
They had no choice but to go ahead.
"Boss, if you have something to do, go and do it. After we finish drinking, put the teacups on the tray and leave." Li Xia licked his lips and said with his mouth open.
They certainly couldn't pour out the tea in their hands in front of the teahouse owner.
After all, she wasn't sure if the female owner was the only one in this teahouse.
What if she has accomplices inside?
It would definitely be difficult to escape with Yousheng, a girl and a three-year-old child.
Yingniang curled her lips when she heard that, and she shook her head gently, "It's okay, I'm not busy. It's okay, you can wait slowly, I just have nothing to do, I'll wait until you finish drinking and then take the teacup back, so you don't have to come out again."
She looked at Li Xia and the other person, opened her lips and spoke.
She said this intentionally to test Li Xia and the others.
If they really discovered something, they would not dare to drink the tea in their hands.
But this is exactly what they want.
If they really noticed something, they couldn't blame her.
She intended to let them go.
If they want to blame someone, let them blame God.
Li Xia was thinking that the shopkeeper just acted like he was very busy.
I just wanted him to go in first, and then the two of them could find an opportunity to pour out the water and leave this place quickly.
But Yingniang didn't buy it at all.
Li Xia pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, unable to do anything for a while.
At this moment, she didn't know how to answer.
It’s not right to drink, and it’s not right not to drink.
Although we cannot conclude that there is medicine in this cup.
But after all, we have discovered something suspicious, and there is always a chance of something happening.
If it is true as we guess, it is too late.
Li Yousheng raised his eyes quietly and saw the embarrassment that flashed across Li Xia's face.
She didn't blink.
No, if they continue like this they will definitely be exposed, I have to think of a way.
It would neither let the teahouse owner notice nor make my sister feel embarrassed.
Li Yousheng bit his lower lip.
He tried his best to think of a solution.
"Hiss~"
Suddenly, Li Yousheng had an idea.
He pretended to have a stomachache, covered his stomach with both hands, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground.
Then, Li Yousheng pretended to be weak and fell to Li Xia's side.
Because Li Xia was not mentally prepared at all, the weight of Li Yousheng's body caused her to stagger to the side.
The teacup in her hand fell to the ground because of its unstable center of gravity.
Li Xia didn't react at first.
She really thought that Li Yousheng was suddenly feeling unwell, and immediately reached out to take him in a panic. Her reaction was very real.
"Yousheng, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Tell your sister quickly."
Li Xia asked worriedly.
Li Yousheng felt sorry for Li Xia when he saw her worried look on her face, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't dare to use any small movements to remind Li Xia for fear of being discovered.
Yingniang didn't react at first.
However, she, who has always been cautious, felt that the child's illness came too suddenly and was too coincidental.
And when he fell, he fell on the girl so accurately.
Coincidentally, the teacups in both of their hands fell to the ground.
If it weren't for so many coincidences strung together.
