Yao Shuheng's lips twitched. He couldn't understand. Was he really that ugly? Did Li Zhiwei have absolutely no feelings for him?
However, since Li Zhiwei had no interest in him, his plans would still proceed as usual.
Xiliu Lane, Beijing.
When Li Tianyou returned to his residence and saw the empty courtyard, he felt a pang of sadness. His daughter had returned to Li'an County.
His wife was also in Li'an County, leaving him, a lonely old man, alone in the capital.
"Zhou Tong, go and get the wine that the Prince brought today. I, your master, will not leave until I'm drunk tonight." Li Tianyou was suddenly overcome with sadness, thinking that the wine was, after all, the first time his son-in-law had shown him filial piety, so he had to savor it properly.
If he is not satisfied, he must have a good talk with the Emperor about the terms. This son-in-law is no good.
"Sir, I'll have the kitchen prepare some side dishes for you right away," Zhou Tong replied.
Li Tianyou wasn't satisfied with drinking alone, so he pulled Zhou Tong to sit down and have a few drinks with him.
"Why does this wine taste different?" Li Tianyou felt after taking the first sip that it was different from the wine that brat Huo Yunxuan had given him before.
"Master, is there something wrong with this wine?" It was Zhou Tong's first time drinking it, and he found the wine to be fragrant and mellow. It was the first time he had ever tasted such a fine wine.
"It's nothing." Li Tianyou thought to himself, perhaps the wine merchant Xu Heming found brewed the wine, but his technique wasn't as good as the Huo family's winemaker.
But overall, the wine is not bad.
Logically, Zhou Tong shouldn't have sat down to drink with Li Tianyou, but today, Li Tianyou was missing his family in Li'an County, and Zhou Tong had come all the way from Li'an County with him, so he insisted on keeping him company.
Zhou Tong had no choice but to accompany his master, who had given the order.
As the two drank, the pot of wine was emptied.
"Go again, go to my room and bring me a pot of wine!" Li Tianyou was still a little unhappy that the wine was empty.
He hasn't had enough to drink yet.
Zhou Tong stood up, about to grab the wine, when suddenly he collapsed to the ground, and then began to convulse.
"Hey, kid, that's all the alcohol you can drink." Li Tianyou looked at Zhou Tong who had collapsed, knowing that Zhou Tong wasn't a good drinker at the time.
"Master, save me!" Zhou Tong felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
Could this wine be poisoned?
This was Zhou Tong's first reaction.
"Alright, kid, that's all you can drink!" Li Tianyou waved his hand, and a servant stepped forward.
"Take him away," Li Tianyou said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tianyou fell to the ground.
"Quickly, fetch a doctor!" Zhou Tong, clinging to his last shred of sanity and enduring the excruciating pain, hurriedly sent someone to fetch a doctor.
Seeing this, the servant didn't dare to delay and quickly ran out.
The guards who had been hiding in the shadows were now a little unsettled and quickly jumped down to lift Li Tianyou onto the bed.
Although the servants were surprised by the sudden appearance of the person, they didn't have much time to be astonished, since Zhou Tong was still crying and screaming in pain on the side.
"Is Master Li alright?" Guard One asked Guard Two uncertainly, looking at Li Tianyou who was merely asleep.
"He's probably just drunk, right?" the second guard said, somewhat uncertainly.
"But look at the way they're crying and wailing next door!" The guard pointed to Zhou Tong, who was still howling next door.
I'm really worried that something might happen to Li Tianyou.
Will the prince blame them?
