This time, Liu Xing stiffened, abruptly pulled out of Xu Xingfeng's arms, and looked at him incredulously, "Young Master? You actually doubt Xing'er?"
"No, that's not what I meant." Seeing Liu Xing's strong reaction, Xu Xingfeng quickly explained.
"Young Master, you can't doubt Xing'er, no matter who you suspect. How could you doubt Xing'er?" Liu Xing stared at Xu Xingfeng with a hurt expression, stood up straight, looked away, and her eyes quickly filled with tears.
"I didn't suspect you, I was just asking casually." Xu Xingfeng quickly stood up as well.
"Hmph, what do you mean by asking casually? You clearly don't trust Xing'er at all. Young master, if you don't trust Xing'er like this, then don't ask Xing'er for anything in the future."
"Alright, Xing'er, don't think so much. I was just asking casually." Xu Xingfeng walked up to Liu Xing, looked down at the person in front of him, and saw the beauty shedding tears of grievance. Xu Xingfeng's tone softened as well.
"Just a casual question? Young master, are you still wondering if Xing'er has hidden any letters between you?" Liu Xing stared at Xu Xingfeng, questioning him with tears streaming down her face.
Xu Xingfeng froze, realizing that was indeed what he was thinking; after all, it's always better to be cautious in everything.
Seeing that Xu Xingfeng remained silent, Liu Xing cried even harder, "Young master, you can go and ask the other young master now to see if Xing'er has withheld any letters. If you still don't believe me, you can search Xing'er's room. All of Xing'er's belongings are in this room. If you find anything suspicious, Xing'er will immediately commit suicide to atone for her sins, without any complaints."
Seeing Liu Xingtai's intense reaction, Xu Xingfeng began to believe her somewhat. After all, if it weren't for him, Liu Xingtai probably wouldn't be living such a good life now.
Moreover, Xu Xingfeng had previously promised that once his great cause succeeded, he would take her away from here openly and honestly. Liu Xing was just a lowly prostitute; she shouldn't have the guts to keep letters hidden.
"Alright, alright, I don't trust others, but I trust you, don't I?" Xu Xingfeng laughed and hugged Liu Xing. Liu Xing pretended to struggle a couple of times, but couldn't break free, so she obediently calmed down.
“Young master, Xing’er swears on her life that if Xing’er has seen anything she shouldn’t have seen or kept anything she shouldn’t have kept, she will be torn apart by five horses immediately.”
Liu Xing nestled in Xu Xingfeng's arms and swore loudly. After saying that, she added in her heart, "I swear on your life, Xu Xingfeng, I want to live a few more years."
Seeing Liu Xing make such a solemn oath, Xu Xingfeng was completely convinced that Liu Xing had not done anything to wrong him. As for why Liu Xing said to be torn apart by five horses instead of being struck by lightning, Xu Xingfeng did not take it to heart. He simply thought that she was ignorant and had only heard of being torn apart by five horses, thinking that it was the cruelest punishment.
"Okay, I trust you. After all, if you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them. You'll have to do a lot of things for me in the future." Xu Xingfeng added in his mind, "Go do it in the underworld."
"Alright, let's not talk about these things anymore. Come on, let's try this peach blossom wine." Xu Xingfeng pulled Liu Xing to sit down and pushed a cup of wine in front of her.
Seeing another cup of wine placed there, Liu Xing reached out and took it, placing it in front of Xu Xingfeng. "Young master, such fine wine, let's enjoy it together."
Xu Xingfeng was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained his smile. "Of course, I'll have a drink with Xing'er today."
"Thank you, young master." Liu Xing took the initiative to pick up the wine cup, put it to her lips and took a sip. Her eyes lit up and she smacked her lips. "It is indeed a good wine. It is sweet and mild, not strong at all."
Seeing Liu Xing take a sip, Xu Xingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. He also picked up his wine cup, but did not drink it. Although he had taken the antidote beforehand, it was still best not to drink the wine if possible.
Seeing that Xu Xingfeng hadn't drunk any, Liu Xing immediately became unhappy again, "Young Master, didn't you just say you were going to enjoy the fine wine with Xing'er? Why didn't you drink a drop?"
"No, I just suddenly felt a little unwell. I have some business to handle when I get home tonight, so I won't drink." Xu Xingfeng casually made up an excuse.
"Young master, how could you lie to me? I don't care, you promised me, you have to drink today." Liu Xing said coquettishly, and then picked up her wine cup and brought it to Xu Xingfeng's lips.
"Young master, would you like to try some? It's really delicious." Liu Xing blinked and saw that Xu Xingfeng's face didn't show any unusual expression when he saw her wine cup, so she knew that he must have put medicine in the jar.
"If you don't drink, I'll make you drink today!" A strange glint flashed in Liu Xing's eyes.
Then she brought the wine cup closer to Xu Xingfeng's lips, with a hint of coercion and coquetry, "Young master, you must try it today. This wine is really delicious. If you don't drink it today, I will definitely not let you leave."
Perhaps because she had been drinking, Liu Xing's face was flushed, and she changed her self-reference from "this humble servant" to "I".
When Xu Xingfeng saw Liu Xing like this, he couldn't help but think of the time they spent together. He knew that he had taken the antidote before he came and that there shouldn't be any problems, so he let Liu Xing give him a sip.
"Young master is so kind." Seeing that Xu Xingfeng had taken a sip, Liu Xing was also satisfied. She put down her wine cup, leaned on the table, and stared at the wine cup in front of her.
He murmured to himself, "The peach blossoms are so beautiful, and this peach blossom wine is so delicious."
Is it ironic to use her favorite peach blossom wine to commemorate her love and heartbeat?
"Young master, young master, I feel a little unwell. Could you help me to bed? I want to rest." Liu Xing closed her eyes, and her body gradually went limp.
If Xu Xingfeng hadn't been supporting her, Liu Xing would probably have fallen to the ground.
Xu Xingfeng didn't expect the drug to take effect so quickly. He had thought that the drug would take effect in Liu Xing's body after he left, but perhaps it was because of the alcohol that the drug took effect faster.
Xu Xingfeng didn't suspect much. He helped Liu Xing to the bedside, where Liu Xing had already closed her eyes completely and was even more weak.
Seeing this, Xu Xingfeng threw Liu Xing onto the bed. Seeing that she was motionless, he curled up a sarcastic smile. "She's just a prostitute who's been ridden by a thousand men, yet she dares to dream of being with me. She's like a toad trying to eat swan meat. Humph, Liu Xing, don't worry, you won't die in vain. Your death will help me escape danger. Your death is worthwhile."
After Xu Xingfeng finished speaking, he began searching the room. In the end, you can't judge a book by its cover. He was always cautious. Even though he told himself that Liu Xing wouldn't lie to him, his reason told him that he still had to check it himself before he would feel at ease.
