Chapter 302 Drunk
Just as he was wondering whether he should use the excuse of toasting to get Gu Shuyan to drink the wine, he saw Gu Shuyan finally raise her hand and pick up the wine glass.
The sweet fruit wine entered her mouth, and Luo Yuying's heart finally settled down after she watched Gu Shuyan swallow it.
Gu Shuyan turned around and saw Luo Yuying looking at her. Luo Yuying nodded to her and smiled politely, completely unaware that the wine she was drinking had been laced with something.
After drinking the fruit wine, Gu Shuyan felt dizzy after only a short while.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Seeing this, Mingyu quickly asked with concern, and Gu Shuyan shook her head, saying, "I'm just a little dizzy, it's nothing."
As Gu Shuyan spoke, she rubbed her temples, clearly unable to sit still any longer.
"Is Sister Shuyan feeling unwell?"
Luo Yuying was already close to Gu Shuyan, and she had been keeping an eye on her situation. When she saw Gu Shuyan rubbing her temples, she quickly came over.
"I think I drank a little too much alcohol; I feel a bit dizzy."
Gu Shuyan looked up at Luo Yuying and, seeing the concern on her face, told her about her situation directly.
"You can't let your illness linger. Why don't you have your maid help you to rest and come back when you feel better?"
Luo Yuying spoke in a questioning tone, appearing to be entirely concerned for Gu Shuyan's sake.
Gu Shuyan initially wanted to refuse, but waves of dizziness made her frown.
"Miss, let me help you down to rest!"
Mingyu was also anxious, and seeing that Gu Shuyan still had concerns, she simply joined in to persuade her.
Seeing the worry in the maid's eyes, Gu Shuyan finally nodded, "Alright, then help me up."
Gu Shuyan agreed, and Mingyu immediately stepped forward to help her up, while Luo Yuying, who was standing nearby, also lent a helping hand.
After Mingyu helped Gu Shuyan leave the banquet hall, Luo Yuying turned around and glanced at the little maid. The little maid understood and immediately withdrew.
"Miss, are you really going to let Miss Luo and her ilk scheme against Miss Gu?"
Seeing Luo Yuying regain her haughty demeanor, the maidservant beside Sun Ruoyun couldn't help but whisper in her mistress's ear.
Sun Ruoyun simply smiled and did not intend to answer the maid.
Luo Yuying came to her door today asking for her help, so she naturally had to do her a favor. Whether the matter succeeded or not, it had nothing to do with the Sun family.
If it succeeds, the Gu family will hate the Duke's Mansion, which will benefit the Sun family. If it fails, Luo Yuying will still owe her a favor, and she can still help them in the future.
Either way, it's something that benefits me, so why not do it?
Seeing the smile in Sun Ruoyun's eyes, the maidservant guessed her mistress's meaning and remained silent, standing quietly to the side.
Meanwhile, in another courtyard of the Imperial Academy, a group of noble young men from the capital were sitting facing each other, drinking tea and composing poems.
"It is said that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, but I never expected that the tea brewed among the plum blossoms and snow would have such a unique flavor."
A handsome young man drank the tea and couldn't help but sigh.
“Isn’t that right? I had heard before that Young Master Sun drinks tea brewed by Mei Jianxue every day. Now it seems that Young Master Sun really knows how to enjoy life.” Another person quickly chimed in after hearing this.
"It's nothing but low-class stuff. The fact that everyone doesn't mind is already a favor to me. I wouldn't dare call it 'enjoyment'."
