The rice was served, and Lu Yi returned. The men were drinking and chatting. The eldest aunt picked up a bite with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, her expression changing.
She was a picky eater and always felt there was a strange taste in this bowl of rice, so she would only take one bite and then stop eating.
On the other hand, the aunt, who was trying her best to please her grandfather, finished her meal in a few bites and joined in the conversation, making herself at the top of the class.
Ruan Xianxian smiled as she scanned the various oddities on the table.
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, she stopped causing trouble, and the tense and awkward atmosphere at home eased.
Lu Yi was under the influence of the medicine, and after having a cup of hot tea with the old man, he thought of getting up to leave.
Looking at Lu Yi, whose handsome face was flushed, whose eyes were somewhat unfocused and whose whites were bloodshot, and who kept pulling at his collar with an excited expression, Ruan Baozhu felt nothing but disgust.
However, he didn't notice his own barely suppressed unease, mistaking it for the excitement of seeing Ruan Xianxian about to suffer misfortune.
Concealing her thoughts, she smiled and stood up to stop him, saying, "Brother Lu, it's getting dark outside. You've had some wine, so go upstairs and rest for a while before leaving."
Lu Yi wanted to refuse, but the old man chuckled and agreed, "Yes, it's rare for young Lu to have time to come over. It would be good for him to go upstairs and chat with Baozhu."
Having said that, Lu Yi pursed his lips and nodded, letting Ruan Baozhu support him with one hand through his clothes.
After climbing two steps together, Ruan Baozhu suddenly stumbled and turned around with a wronged expression. "Cousin, can you come and help me?"
Seeing the abnormal flush on their faces, Ruan Xianxian roughly guessed what she had added to the food. She walked over with a smile and grabbed one of them by the back of his collar.
"OK!"
Lu Yi, who was being dragged upstairs, was stunned. He was 1.78 meters tall, and he was being dragged along by a woman like a chicken.
That's really embarrassing!
Her face flushed red, and she forcefully swung her arm, shouting, "Let go! Don't touch me with your dirty hands!"
"Hands can be washed if they're dirty, but if a person's heart is dirty..."
Lu Yi's heart skipped a beat. Meeting Ruan Xianxian's direct gaze, he subconsciously asked, "How is it?"
He was clearly under the influence of the drug; he wouldn't have paid attention to it under normal circumstances.
"Of course we'll dig it up!" Ruan Xianxian smiled and ignored him, focusing on helping her cousin, who was unbuttoning her shirt.
"Cousin, don't you feel it's especially hot today?"
"Yeah, yeah, people wear all sorts of clothes in February and August, and I get hot with so many people at home," Ruan Xianxian replied casually.
The three of them went up to the second floor, pushed open Ruan Baozhu's door, casually tossed her onto a chair in front of the desk, and beckoned Lu Yi to sit on the bed.
Driven by the alcohol, his consciousness became somewhat blurred. The dizziness and inexplicable excitement made him close his eyes and pinch his brows hard.
Despite being in a daze, Ruan Baozhu didn't forget her plan and tried to stand up several times. "Cousin, please take care of Brother Yi. I'll go get him a glass of water."
Ruan Xianxian grabbed the person and leaned close to Ruan Baozhu's ear, whispering in a low voice amidst her confused and frightened expression:
"Cousin, savor the seeds you've sown. I hope you reap the rewards soon." With that, she strode out of the room and slammed the door shut.
"What do you mean?" Ruan Baozhu, who had not completely lost her mind, wanted to chase after him, but her waist and abdomen were grabbed by a pair of hot and strong hands.
Hearing the intermittent noises coming from inside the house, Ruan Xianxian leaned against the second-floor corridor to calm her racing heart. To be honest, she wanted to see!
She went back downstairs, buried her face in her turtleneck sweater, and waited for the show to begin.
Grandpa was very pleased with her behavior of not disturbing Lu Yi and Baozhu's time alone, and said as if bestowing a favor:
"You're going on a blind date with your aunt tomorrow. The family will take care of everything else, so don't worry."
"Going on a blind date with my aunt? We not only share the same blood, but we're both women. Grandpa, you're such a pervert!"
"You..." The old man looked at his eldest granddaughter, who was clutching her chest with one hand and her face with the other, twisting and turning in anger. He was about to rebuke her...
A scream came from the second floor, followed by the sound of a glass shattering, "Ah! Crash—"
"What's wrong?" The old man pretended to throw away his cane and ran upstairs in a few big strides, with the others following closely behind.
Half an hour later—
A group of people stood or sat around the living room. Lu Yi's face was gloomy, and Ruan Baozhu, sobbing uncontrollably, leaned against her mother's arms, crying as if the sky were about to fall.
Ruan Xianxian noticed that her mother looked the worst in the room.
"Tell me, what happened?" the old man asked with great force, slamming his cane down. The two people involved remained silent.
His gaze could only fall on his second daughter-in-law, who had been the first to notice the problem. "You tell me."
Her mother's face was extremely pale. "What could have happened? I saw the two kids hadn't come down for ages, so I went to get them a glass of water, and that's when I saw..."
"Dad, I'm not trying to be mean, but how come Baozhu has learned such bedroom tricks at such a young age? What will people think of the Ruan family's reputation if word gets out?"
She glared at Lu Yi with an extremely resentful look in her eyes.
"I didn't!" Ruan Baozhu screamed in utter despair.
How could this happen? How could this happen? The person who should be lying there facing the scorn of her entire family, bearing the infamy of marrying Lu Yi and wasting her life, is clearly Ruan Xianxian!
She suddenly looked up, her arm covered in bruises, and pointed at Ruan Xianxian outside the crowd. "It's her! It must be because she was jealous of me going to the countryside in my place. She put a love drug in my and Lu Yi's food."
Grandpa, beat this bitch to death! I'll never live again!
The whole family turned back in disbelief. They had only gone to the countryside for their cousin and hadn't even taken her life, yet the cousin was taking revenge on their own sister's reputation. Their intentions were far too malicious.
Lu Yi also raised his bloodshot eyes and stared intently at her, wishing he could tear her apart.
His voice was hoarse, "It was indeed Ruan Xianxian who helped us to the room, and then, I don't know what methods she used. Mr. Ruan, please give me an explanation."
