When the people in the flower hall saw Gao and Wan Shan'er coming in hand in hand, they were stunned at first, and then came over to greet them.
The two girls who usually played well with Wan Shan'er started talking to the mother and daughter.
The people who came to the flower hall later brought news from the main courtyard. Gao's mother and daughter had been paying attention to it. When they heard that Chai Shiqin had received the news, they both smiled knowingly.
There was always wine at a banquet, and the ladies had some too, a sweet fruit wine. After trying a glass, Wan Shaner praised the wine's excellent taste.
Everyone was very tactful and toasted her with one glass after another. She was not afraid of them. After drinking more than ten glasses, she lied that she felt dizzy and wanted to go out to get rid of the smell of alcohol.
She came to the Duke of Lu's Mansion twice every year. Although she was very familiar with it, she only knew the approximate locations of some courtyards.
Wan Shan'er took her maid Cui'er and walked towards the Songlin Courtyard where male guests were entertained. They stopped beside a rockery.
After a while, a servant came over and whispered to Wan Shan'er, "Miss Cousin, our young master said that he would take the Eighth Prince to Cuizhu Courtyard in a quarter of an hour. Everyone there has been cleared out."
The Gao family fell into poverty, but Gao still had her sister and nephew to rely on.
Wan Shan'er and Cui'er took many detours, avoiding crowded places and heading towards Cuizhuyuan.
When Yili came back from the toilet, he happened to see Wan Shan'er passing by with her maid. Seeing the master and servant walking in a hurry, he followed them out of curiosity.
Cuizhuyuan is a place for appreciating bamboo, and usually no one lives there. After entering the yard, Cui'er checked everywhere, and after confirming that no one was there, she returned to the middle of the yard and nodded to Wan Shan'er.
There is a square stone table in the yard, with a pot of tea on it.
Cui Er opened it and took a look. The tea was still hot. She took out a paper bag from her waist and poured the white powder into the tea. Just as she finished, she heard voices. The master and servant quickly hid in the house.
He bowed at the gate, saw the person coming, and thought about Wan Shan'er who had already entered the yard, and immediately guessed what was about to happen.
He crouched down, quickly left Cuizhu Courtyard, and returned to Songlin Courtyard to report the news to Chai Shijing.
"Your Highness, Wan Shan'er is planning to attack the Eighth Prince! She has had Tang Ci lead the Eighth Prince to Cuizhu Courtyard. If things go as expected, she's planning to have sex with the Eighth Prince and force him to marry her."
Chai Shijing was not in a position to leave Songlin Courtyard, so he ordered, "Don't worry. If you can lure Eighth Brother out, that would be great. If not, go in and knock the two of them unconscious, and take Wan Shan'er to another place.
As long as the two of them don't appear in public at the same time, disheveled, it doesn't count."
"Even so, what if Wan Shan'er, disregarding her daughter's reputation, still insists that it was the Eighth Prince who bullied her?"
Chai Shijing sighed softly, "That depends on Eighth Brother's choice. If he wants to marry Wan Shan'er, he will agree. If he doesn't want to marry her, he doesn't have to agree."
As an older brother, he is willing to consider the brotherhood, but if his younger brother does not appreciate it, then it is not his fault.
He bowed and accepted the order, then went to Cuizhuyuan.
In Cuizhu Courtyard, Chai Shiqin had already drunk the cup of tea mixed with medicine under Tang Ci's persuasion.
He felt an unbearable heat all over his body and stood up shakily. "Brother Tang, I feel a little unwell. I'll take my leave now."
Tang Ci supported him and said, "Let me help Master Ba go inside to rest for a while."
"No need. This is the Duke of Lu's mansion. I can't be rude in front of others. I'd better take my leave first."
Tang Ci exerted force on his hands, not giving Chai Shiqin a chance to break free. "It's rude of you, Eighth Master, to appear in front of others like this. No one usually comes to Cuizhuyuan, so it's okay to rest for a while. Let's go!" After saying that, he pulled Chai Shiqin into the house.
Chai Shiqin had already guessed that there must be a trick, but because of the drugs, his limbs were sore and weak that he couldn't concentrate on thinking of a solution. His mind was full of...
Tang Ci helped Chai Shiqin to the bed, and Wan Shan'er, who had been hiding in the room, came over.
Seeing Chai Shiqin gradually losing consciousness on the bed, she asked, "Cousin, is he still okay?"
Tang Ci said nonchalantly, "I can learn this kind of thing on my own, I'm sure it will work!"
He looked at Wan Shan'er with lustful eyes and whispered, "Cousin, if he can't do it, I'll take his place."
Wan Shan'er felt disgusted that Tang Ci was still useful, but she didn't get angry. "The Eighth Prince is still awake. Cousin, you are so brave. Get out now!"
"Okay!" Tang Ci and Cui'er went out.
Chai Shiqin had begun to lose consciousness. He bit his tongue but still couldn't recall his collapsing will.
Wan Shan'er felt a sharp pain in her heart. When she was little, she thought she could marry that handsome boy. Later, that handsome boy became her father's political enemy. She knew that she and him could never be together again.
But in the dead of night, she still couldn't help but fantasize, maybe...
At this moment, she was undressing herself and couldn't help but burst into tears. From then on, she no longer had the right to fantasize.
Tang Ci is right, some things can be learned without a teacher!
......
Listening to the noise in the house, Tang Ci was very depressed. The cousin he had been thinking about for many years finally followed someone else.
But soon, he smiled again. He had the leverage over his cousin and was afraid that he would not be able to get her. At worst, when his cousin became the queen in the future, he would not be short of beauties.
"Cui'er, you go first! I'll go back to Songlinyuan later to continue drinking."
"Yes! I will pretend to have lost the girl after I go out, and ask the people from the Duke of Lu's Mansion to help look for her. I will bring them back here in two quarters of an hour."
This was planned in advance by several people!
After Cui'er left, Tang Ci tiptoed to the door of the house, put his ear against the door to listen to the sounds inside, and while listening, he imagined that the man in the house was himself.
