"Miss Zheng, I can't do this."

Xu Jiaoniang pulled her robe tightly, her expression still tense.

"Why?" Zheng Mei stood up and looked at her suspiciously: "You have already received the money."

Xu Jiaoniang clung to the hem of her clothes, not daring to tell what she saw and heard that night, but she had already received the money, and this eldest lady of the Zheng family was not someone she could break the contract at will.

It was a dilemma, if she had known earlier that it was that person, she would not have agreed.

Zheng Mei glanced at the maid next to her: "How is it over there?"

The little maid glanced at the opposite teahouse with some embarrassment: "It has been told to Miss Li on purpose, and she is probably on her way here."

There was no turning back after opening the bow. The person had already arrived, and she would not miss this opportunity.

"We will add money, three hundred taels, as long as the two of them have a rift, we can continue to add."

Zheng Mei sat back in her seat, the implication being that she would not agree to her request.

Zheng Mei has grown so big and has never been so humiliated. If she hadn't brought a guard that day, she would be a dead body now.

How could she not avenge such a revenge?

It takes seven inches to hit a snake. She doesn't know Lu Zhiyao, but she can see that his relationship with Li Ruoshui is unusual, so she plans to start from Li Ruoshui.

Create a rift between the two, destroy his innocence, and let Li Ruoshui abandon him.

She bought the incense sticks in the reception room with a lot of money. If you smell it, you will only feel thirsty and hot, but if you drink alcohol, even Liuxia Hui can't hold it back.

The reason why she can make an appointment now is all because of that piece of black iron. Once she has given it, it may be more difficult to think about it in the future than to go to the sky.

So she will never pass up this opportunity.

"He has been smelling the incense for nearly a quarter of an hour. As long as you coax him to drink more wine, no matter how good his martial arts are, he can only fall on the table weakly."

Zheng Mei had already tried the effect of this incense, and no matter how powerful it was, it was not worth a pot of wine.

"You don't need to do anything more, just wait for the woman in the goose-yellow dress to jump on him when he enters the door."

When Xu Jiaoniang was moved by her words, her original idea of ​​firmly rejecting swayed left and right, and finally bit her lip and nodded.

"Let me try."

Xu Jiaoniang returned to the teahouse again. She kept giving herself psychological hints. She didn't make a sound that night. He was blind again and couldn't recognize her.

Lu Zhiyao was still sitting by the window listening to the book, but she was a little absent-minded. When she heard the sound of her entrance, she turned her head and asked.

"Miss Zheng hasn't arrived yet?"

If he can't get the black iron today, he has no choice but to punish the eldest lady who likes to break the contract.

Xu Jiaoniang's eyes floated, and she smiled: "Miss Zheng is still talking about business, she will come in a while, so let me serve the son first."

She walked a short distance with a glass of wine, and stopped when she was a step away from him.

"This is the most famous sweet-scented osmanthus brew in Cangzhou, do you want to try it, sir?"

"Thank you, but I don't like drinking."

Lu Zhiyao rejected her with a smile, was slightly startled when she approached, and asked, "Are you from Chunfenglou?"

Xu Jiaoniang shook her hand and spilled a lot of wine.

"How did the son know..."

"I went there to do a mission before, and most of the people in Chunfenglou have this taste."

Lu Zhiyao suddenly became interested, turned to face her, and slightly curled his lightly closed eyelashes.

"I heard that you have a kind of ointment there, which can reduce swelling and blackness, is it true?"

Xu Jiao Niang's expression froze, and subconsciously handed out the wine glass: "No, why don't you drink and chat with Jiao Niang?"

Lu Zhizhi silently faced her without saying a word, which made her feel a little guilty, so she slowly took back the wine glass that she handed out.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly curved his lips and took the glass of wine.

"Can."

So what if it's poisonous or not, he has long been used to it, and now there are few poisons that can make him tricked.

Lu Zhiyao took a slow sip. It was non-toxic, but the wine taste was very light, most of which were sweet scented by sweet-scented osmanthus. Li Ruoshui would probably like to drink this.

"This ointment is a gadget developed by our sisters, and it does have some effect." Xu Jiaoniang tried her best to find a topic, and poured him another glass of wine.

"Why is your son interested in this thing?"

"Because she was seen, she said it didn't look good."

Xu Jiaoniang pushed the wine to him and chatted along his topic: "It seems that the young master is happy."

Lu Zhiyao rubbed his wine glass and smiled, but his voice sounded a little strange.

"Pleasant person? Why do you say that? Do you know her?"

Xu Jiaoniang was full of thoughts on how to make him drink more, so she didn't answer immediately, but waited for him to drink another glass before opening her mouth.

"It doesn't matter if you recognize it or not, if it's not someone you like, how could Young Master care about her words so much."

Lu Zhiyao put down the wine glass, and was silent for a long time: "...people who are happy are judged by this?"

"Of course not only, come, let's clink glasses and listen to me in detail."

It had been several drinks and he didn't see any reaction, so she had to drag him to drink more.

"In addition to caring too much about this person's words, I'm also unconsciously jealous, I want to be with her all the time, and every moment I'm with her is happy, and I hope her focus is on herself."

"Of course, the easiest way to judge is to heartbeat. As soon as you get close to each other, feel your heartbeat, everything will come out."

Jiaoniang Xu had already started pouring wine for him in a bowl, and she hoped that this person would have a seizure as soon as possible.

If she hasn't put him down by the time the girl arrives, it will be unflattering on both sides, and she won't get anything.

There was no smile on Lu Zhiyao's face. He frowned lightly, and unconsciously held the beads on his wrist, pressing the beads into his wrist.

He could even feel the throbbing pulse between his wrists through the beads, which seemed to speed up a bit.

So his heart palpitations are not bad health, but heartbeat?

But he had no intention of killing Li Ruoshui.

His mother, his master, each of them became terrifying because of their heartbeat, and they were immersed in pain every day. This is the original appearance of love.

Love is disgusting and painful, how could it be as easy as she said?

But he has experienced everything she said. Could he also fall into endless pain like them?

"Master? Master?"

Xu Jiaoniang looked at Lu Jiao, who had not said a word, and was anxious, she really didn't know if he had recovered.

"I'm going to see Miss Zheng's situation. Maybe they've already negotiated."

Just as Xu Jiaoniang was going downstairs, Zheng Mei's maid was looking out from the window of the inn opposite. She saw a light yellow in the crowd and subconsciously ducked back.

"Miss, I saw her!"

Zheng Mei stood up and glanced at it from a distance. It was indeed Li Ruoshui. She looked a little dignified, probably because she was angry after hearing the news.

Exactly, when she sees that scene, it is best to abandon Lu Zhi immediately and let him live in the pain of being abandoned.

But the corners of her mouth froze in the same place: "Why did Xu Jiaoniang come out of the teahouse, let her go back!"

"Yes!"

The maid leaned on the window and glanced at it, then immediately turned around, lifted her skirt and went downstairs, but she was still a step too late.

When she and Xu Jiaoniang met, Li Ruoshui had already rushed into the teahouse.

Little girl: "..."

This is too fast.

"How did you get out?"

The little maid looked anxious, but she was actually a little relieved. She was a little afraid that Lu Zhiyao would retaliate, but now she missed it by accident, maybe it was a good thing.

Looking at Xu Jiaoniang's flustered look, she sighed and took her upstairs.

"Go and explain to Miss."

"May I ask where is the blind boy who often comes here to listen to books. I have an appointment with him."

Li Ruoshui asked this question with a blushing face, while looking for his figure in the lobby on the first floor.

"The son is on the second floor, the first room on the left."

Xiao Er hesitated and pointed out the place to her.

"Thank you."

Li Ruoshui rushed upstairs with his skirt, thinking about the mess in his mind, and pushed open the door of the room.

There was no one else in the room except for the road away from sitting in a daze.

"Got you."

He was fine, and Zheng Mei was fine. Everyone was happy. Li Ruoshui sat down at the table with his hands and fanned himself to dissipate heat.

I don't know if it's her illusion, but always feel that this journey is not only more tired than before, but also hotter than before.

Hearing her voice, Lu Zhiyao's eyelashes trembled lightly, and he suddenly regained his senses. He raised the corners of his lips to "look" at her, and there was no difference.

"What are you looking for from me?"

"I'm worried about you." In fact, he was more worried about Zheng Mei.

Li Ruoshui casually opened a teacup, perhaps because he had exercised a lot earlier, and now he is extremely thirsty.

She opened her mouth and looked for the teapot: "I heard that you were called by Zheng Mei. I'm afraid that something will happen to you... Why is there only wine here?"

There are no shortage of tea sets and cups on the table, but there is no teapot. Instead, there is a clay-fired wine pot with the three characters "Osmanthus Brew" written on it.

The wine has already been opened, and there are liquors left in the teacup and bowl in front of him, probably already drunk.

This is really a pillow when she dozed off. She was about to try the wine, and he drank it here.

Not caring about Zheng Mei's whereabouts, Li Ruoshui first asked what he wanted to know the most.

"You drink it all? Are you dizzy now?"

If she wants to drink alcohol, she must at least find out his alcohol level, and then she can't get drunk before him.

"fine."

Lu Yuan was facing her from the side, facing out the window, as if he was listening to the story.

Li Ruoshui lifted the jug and shook it, and there was about half of the wine left in it, which means that half of it could not get him drunk.

She poured herself a glass and drank it.

First, want to quench thirst, and second, want to taste how strong this wine is.

At the entrance, there is a faint smell of wine, slightly bitter, but it is immediately covered by the sweet fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, and it is sweet in the throat.

In fact, sweet wine like this is the most intoxicating. He is fine after drinking half of it. It is estimated that the plan of drinking alcohol will be difficult to implement.

Thinking of this, Li Ruoshui poured another glass and drank it. There was no special reason, but he was thirsty.

She fanned the wind with her hand and looked around: "Where's Zheng Mei?"

"It is said that they are talking about business, and they have not yet appeared."

"I knew it earlier and came here." Li Ruoshui refilled another cup of sweet-scented osmanthus brew, thinking that it was sake, so he drank it as a drink.

Lu Zhi listened to her movements, stretched out his hand and pressed her arm, frowning slightly.

"You just drank three glasses, do you still have to pour it?"

Li Ruoshui fanned the wind and uncomfortably pulled down the placket of his shirt. Since he couldn't see, he rolled his sleeves to the crook of his arms, and reached out to lift his long hair.

"I came here, I'm too thirsty, this wine won't be intoxicating." Li Ruoshui glanced at the wide open window around him, inexplicably agitated: "It's so hot."

She waved her hand away and continued to pour a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus into it.

For some reason, this wine was very cool when it first entered the mouth, but once it reached the throat, it burned like fire.

It burned straight to her limbs and fingertips, making her heart feel like small ants crawling, and her body softened.

"Wait a minute." Li Ruoshui began to pant for no apparent reason, and his mind was clouded for a moment: "There is something wrong with this wine."

Lu Zhizhi paused for a moment, then immediately reached out and grabbed her wrist and began to feel the pulse.

He had drunk this wine, and it was not poisonous.

The moment Lu Zhizhi's hand just touched her, it was like the seedlings that had been dry for a long time were filled with a clear spring, which was extremely comfortable.

Li Ruo underwater consciously grabbed his wrist, but only touched the slightly cold white jade beads.

Although the Buddha beads were cold at the beginning, she soon warmed them up, so she had to squeeze her fingers in, squeezed under the beads and stroked his cool wrist.

The bead pressed her hand tightly, and absorbed a lot of heat with his skin.

"You are so cold."

Li Ruoshui was a little dizzy, and vaguely knew that he was doing something bad, but he couldn't control himself to stop.

She couldn't even concentrate at this time, and her attention was already distracted by the feeling of the little ants crawling on her body.

Lu Zhizhi felt her vain pulse and frowned. Although there was no poison in the wine, she was indeed poisoned.

Li Ruoshui was exhausted at this time, and there seemed to be a crimson sunset on his cheeks, and he seemed to have lost his mind.

I'm sorry.

She withdrew her hand and patted her face hard, trying to wake herself up.

Now this state is too classic, you don't need to guess to know what kind of poison she has been poisoned.

Terrible, if you do something, you will lose your favor!

"Let's find a place to soak in cold water."

Tears welled up in her eyes unconsciously, and she forced her body to stand up, her footsteps a little vain.

Lu Zhiyao paused, as if he understood something, then lit the blind stick to open the door.

As soon as his hand touched the door latch, his waist was suddenly hugged, and his always sensitive waist couldn't help shaking.

"Stay with me...Bah, let's go, there is an inn opposite, I can't take it anymore!"

"..."

You have to find a place with cold water.
