Chapter 322 What is this?
After everyone was seated, Yu Tingwan turned his eyes slightly and frowned.
"Why don't I see Marquis Ruyang and the Crown Prince?"
That shouldn't be the case. She didn't give him any drugs at the time. The knife attack shouldn't have made him unconscious for so long. She didn't use any heavy hands.
As they were talking, a notification came in that the Marquis of Ruyang and his family had arrived, and everyone looked over quickly.
Marquis Ruyang and the Crown Prince came with Marquis Ruyang's wife. However, Marquis Ruyang looked unhappy and his wife's eyes were red. Not to mention the Crown Prince, his expression was completely different from his usual look.
A few people walked into the house and bowed to everyone, then they heard the apologetic voice of Ruyang Hou.
"I'm sorry to trouble you all!" Then he looked in the direction of Yu Tingwan and bowed again.
"Thank you, Princess, for saving my life!"
Everyone waved their hands, and Yu Tingwan said, "That's not true. Marquis Ruyang has suffered. Come and sit down. Let's eat and talk!"
"Hey!"
Everyone sat down together, and looking at everyone gathered together, the Duke of Fuguo raised his glass first and said with emotion:
"I never thought that we would be able to meet in this way one day. Without further ado, we really want to thank the princess and the prince! I offer a toast to the princess!"
Seeing this, everyone looked in the direction of Yu Tingwan. Yu Tingwan quickly picked up his wine glass, stood up and said:
"You are too polite, Duke. It is inappropriate for you to toast me, a junior!"
Afterwards, he drank the wine in the cup and toasted the Duke of Fuguo again. Yu Tingwan looked at the Duke of Fuguo, the Princess, and the Marquis of Ruyang seriously and said:
"I should toast to you all. I have to thank you and the princess for everything. If you and the princess hadn't risked your lives to send the letter, I'm afraid that when the army arrived, the prince and I would still be in the dark!"
Hearing this, everyone sighed in their hearts, but they also accepted her glass of wine.
"Alright, alright, let's eat quickly. If you keep toasting each other like this, you grown men won't be able to drink that much!"
In the end, the only person who could stop the Duke of Fuguo was the old lady. Once the old lady spoke, everyone could finally eat some hot food.
"Mmm, it's so spicy and comfortable. This is what I should eat in this kind of weather!"
"Yes, it's so comfortable. It would be even better if it snowed later!"
Unexpectedly, his words actually resonated with others. Zheng Anhe's eyes lit up instantly and he looked to the other side.
Since there weren't that many people and no outsiders, there was no separate seating for men and women this time.
As a result, when Zheng Anhe looked to the side, he happened to see someone who had the same idea as him. Unexpectedly, it was a child!
"You are such a good eater, just like me!"
Being called a child, Jiang Qingxun's face instantly turned red, and he shouted angrily:
"Who are you calling a kid? I'm already fourteen!"
Zheng Anhe was amused by her brother. She looked at him and chuckled, "You should be Wanwan's cousin, right? I'm older than Wanwan, but you're younger! Come on, call me Sister Anhe, and let me hear it."
"you!"
Jiang Qingxun looked at the woman angrily. How could there be such a woman!
"Anhe!"
"Qingxun!"
The adults, who had been watching the excitement for a long time, became anxious and hurriedly stopped the two men to prevent them from having a fight before they had even finished much of their meal!
Although he was stopped by his elders, Jiang Qingxun was still very embarrassed and angry. How could he be a child?
But Zheng Anhe was very happy. It was interesting. This cousin Wanwan was so interesting!
By the time everyone finished the meal, it was already late at night. The Duke of Fuguo, who had drunk a little too much, was helped back home by the old lady and several young masters of the Jiang family. The rest of the people also left the Jiang residence one after another, except Song Shixu, who still had no intention of leaving.
The wife of Marquis Ruyang looked at Song Shixu who refused to leave, then looked at Yu Tingwan who was standing beside him. She wanted to step forward with worry in her heart, but was stopped by Marquis Ruyang.
Ruyang Hou shook his head at her, then looked at everyone and said with a cupped hand, "Sorry for disturbing you for a while, we will leave now."
"You are too polite, sir. Take care, sir!"
Jiang Hongyi politely returned the greeting, then watched them leave the Jiang family as well. He then looked at Song Shixu who was standing nearby, knowing that he must have something to ask Tingwan, and immediately told everyone to go back and wash up and rest!
"Go to bed early tonight."
Yu Tingwan looked at her mother and nodded, "Mom, too. Go to bed early!"
"I'll take you back!"
Yu Tingwan glanced at the person who had been following her mother eagerly, gave him a warning look, and then ignored him.
Doing more is wrong, and doing nothing is also wrong. She really hopes time can go back, and she must not meet Fang Heci by chance!
"Ah!"
"Sir, are you sick?"
Fang Heci, who returned to his yard first, looked up at the sky. It seemed that he needed to put on more clothes.
On this side, after everyone had left, Song Shixu looked at Yu Tingwan, walked up to her and saluted solemnly again.
However, Yu Tingwan did not accept the gift and turned aside.
Then he frowned at him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Song Shixu straightened up and looked at Yu Tingwan seriously.
"Princess, if it weren't for you, my father wouldn't have survived until now, and my mother... I really feel guilty!"
Having said that, Song Shixu didn't know how to continue.
"In short, we are the ones who are sorry for you!"
Looking at his appearance, Yu Tingwan smiled helplessly.
"What have you done to me? I haven't lost a piece of meat. Besides, the reason why Marquis Ruyang was targeted is because you were by my side with the prince. In the end, we are the ones who are sorry for you!"
Unexpectedly, Song Shixu shook his head and said:
"No, it was us. My mother... In order to prevent my father from suffering so much, my mother secretly went to the palace before she left and asked the emperor to give her some elixirs. The emperor gave them to her and then said, let my mother... let my mother give the medicine to you and the prince, otherwise my father will continue to suffer!"
"My mother said that she only wanted to get the medicine and would not give it to you. Although she said that and did not have the time to do it, it is still her problem. I cannot blame her. I can only take the punishment on her behalf!"
After saying that, Song Shixu actually knelt on the ground and said in a loud voice: "Please punish me, Princess!"
Here, Yu Tingwan looked at him with helplessness, but what he said also surprised her.
"Get up, this didn't happen, and it has nothing to do with you. But, the emperor asked the marquis to drug us? Is he so confident?"
It’s not about how the Marquis’s wife is, but how the emperor is sure that they can take the medicine smoothly?
Then Song Shixu stood up, took out the medicine and handed it to Yu Tingwan.
"It doesn't seem to be the kind my father eats. It smells different."
Seeing this, Yu Tingwan took the medicine bottle, opened it, sniffed it carefully, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Ah!"
"Princess, do you know what this is?" Song Shixu asked hurriedly when he saw Yu Tingwan's expression.
