Little Eight said to her, "It's still there!"
Still there?
Su Yuanyuan thought to herself secretly. Could it be that he really came here just to socialize and drink with his colleagues?
Just then, a maid carrying a wine jug passed by outside.
Su Yuanyuan didn't pay much attention at first. After all, there were so many people in the Zhenxuan Restaurant, and it was quite normal for people to drink and have tea.
But Little Eight inside Su Yuanyuan's body sent out an alarm to her, "Yuanbao, there's highly poisonous poison hidden in the wine jug the woman just passed by was carrying."
Su Yuanyuan gave a start. She sat up straight and stared wide - eyed.
"Highly poisonous?"
Someone actually brought poisoned wine into the Zhenxuan Restaurant? Whom were they planning to poison?
Su Huaisheng noticed Su Yuanyuan's strange behavior and looked at her, asking with concern, "Yuanbao, what's wrong?"
There was no time to explain to Su Huaisheng. Su Yuanyuan frowned slightly and said to Little Eight in her mind, "Little Eight, where did that woman go?"
"… She entered the private room 'Appreciating Autumn Chrysanthemums' where Cang Xuan is."
Su Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat instantly.
Poisoned wine, poisoned wine…
It was self - evident who the poisoned wine was meant for!
Thinking of this, Su Yuanyuan couldn't sit still any longer. She jumped up and rushed out. Following Little Eight's guidance, she dashed to the nearby private room 'Appreciating Autumn Chrysanthemums' in a few steps and burst in.
The moment she rushed in, she saw Cang Xuan pick up a cup of wine and bring it to his lips. In her special eyes that could see luck, the cup of wine in Cang Xuan's hand was emitting a dark blue halo.
There was highly poisonous poison in the wine!
Without thinking, Su Yuanyuan took a quick step forward and slapped the wine out of Cang Xuan's hand.
In the private room 'Appreciating Autumn Chrysanthemums', everyone except Cang Xuan only saw a goose - yellow figure rush in like the wind. When they opened their eyes again, Cang Xuan was already splashed all over with wine.
The wine dripped down from his gilded outer robe, making him look extremely embarrassed. Everyone was so scared that they dared not make a sound.
Because of the great shock, no one noticed the momentary look of disappointment that flashed across Su Yuanyuan's face.
Just now, taking this opportunity, she deliberately glanced at his wrist. He was still wearing that inner shirt with cuffed sleeves today, covering his wrist tightly so that no one could see anything.
Cang Xuan lowered his eyes and looked at his outer robe. Then he slightly raised his eyes and looked at Su Yuanyuan who suddenly appeared in front of him. His heart felt as if it was on fire.
He didn't expect that instead of driving her away, he had actually attracted her.
With a straight face, he shouted angrily at the girl, "Where did this rude girl come from? Get out of here quickly!"
Hearing his angry shout, Su Yuanyuan came back to her senses. Meeting Cang Xuan's disgusted face and cold eyes, she felt a momentary sense of grievance in her heart.
She had just helped him avoid a fatal crisis, and this was how he treated her?
At this moment, Little Eight said in her mind, "Yuanbao, I just observed the surroundings. I found that there are many people hiding big knives under their seats outside."
Little Eight's words instantly sobered Su Yuanyuan up.
Poisoned wine? Big knives?
She understood. This was a Hongmen Banquet!
He was deliberately speaking harsh words to make her leave!
Otherwise, with their relationship, he would never treat her like this.
And that waiter who almost splashed the dishes on her just now was not really "accidentally". Instead, it was on purpose, aiming to drive her away!
If that was the case, it meant that everything in front of her was under Cang Xuan's control. He was turning the enemy's scheme to his own advantage. Her appearance might actually ruin his plan.
In a split - second, Su Yuanyuan came up with a countermeasure.
She frowned and pointed at him angrily, "You're a great traitor who brings disaster to the country and its people. It's a coincidence that I ran into you today. I must teach you a lesson!"
After saying that, with lightning speed, she snatched the wine jug from the maid's hand, opened the lid, and splashed all the wine in the jug on Cang Xuan.
This scene shocked everyone in the private room. Their eyes widened in disbelief. The maid who was carrying the poisoned wine even let out a surprised cry, "My wine!"
A certain official sitting in the corner flashed a look of cruelty on his face and shouted, "Hurry up and stop that girl!"
Those who came to the Zhenxuan Restaurant with Cang Xuan to drink were all officials of the Great Chu, including two cabinet members. They all brought their attendants with them.
Upon receiving the order, the other attendants in the room immediately rolled up their sleeves and rushed towards Su Yuanyuan.
Fortunately, Su Huaisheng, who noticed something was wrong, also rushed over in a hurry. He stepped forward and punched each of them, protecting Su Yuanyuan behind him and shouting angrily, "Whoever dares to lay a hand on my sister, I'll break their arms!"
Seeing Su Huaisheng coming, Cang Xuan's clenched fist relaxed slightly. He stood up, shook the wine off his cloak, and said to Su Huaisheng,
"I was wondering which family's rude girl this was. It turns out to be from the Duke Yong's Mansion. Young Master Su, your sister rushed in without any explanation and was rude to me. Isn't your Duke Yong's Mansion going to give me an explanation?"
The others in the private room also said one after another,
"This girl splashed Lord Cang all over with wine as soon as she came in. It's really impolite!"
Su Huaisheng was also very surprised.
He never expected to see Cang Xuan here!
Then he thought that Su Yuanyuan had taken the initiative to come to the Zhenxuan Restaurant just now. Perhaps it was because she saw this scoundrel's figure and chased after him! Good, this scoundrel was secretly seducing his sister again! But why did Yuanbao splash him all over with wine?
Su Huaisheng's gaze fell on the maid beside him. He felt that he seemed to understand something.
Could it be that Yuanbao was jealous because she saw a maid offering wine to him?
At this time, he naturally had to protect his own sister!
Su Huaisheng slightly raised his chin and said arrogantly, "No explanation needed. We can splash you if we want. Do we need to pick a date? Do you think you deserve an apology from the Duke Yong's Mansion?"
"Yuanbao, let's go!" After saying that, Su Huaisheng pulled Su Yuanyuan and turned to leave.
When leaving, Su Yuanyuan secretly turned back and took a look at Cang Xuan. Coincidentally, she met Cang Xuan's gaze.
Although there were no words, just one look was enough for them to have a strange sense of tacit understanding and guess what the other was thinking.
After leaving the private room 'Appreciating Autumn Chrysanthemums', Su Huaisheng saw Su Yuanyuan with a serious little face. He was even more convinced that his sister was jealous. He quickly whispered to coax her, "Yuanbao, don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry for that kind of person. Come on, let's go back and continue drinking tea and having snacks."
No one knew that Su Yuanyuan was extremely nervous at this moment.
Little Eight told her that when they left the private room 'Appreciating Autumn Chrysanthemums', those people with weapons had been staring at her and her third brother. Their eyes were full of scrutiny and killing intent.
Although her third brother knew martial arts and was quite good at it, the other side had more people and they were all armed. If they really confronted each other head - on, the situation might not be good.
And these killers were probably also after Cang Xuan in the private room 'Appreciating Autumn Chrysanthemums'.
No, she had to think of a way to help him!
