The reborn beauty Ru Lan
Chapter 64
After Xie Rulan fell down, Xiao Xingyu also felt that the strength in his body was taken away by something, his whole body was limp, and he almost couldn't stand up. He propped himself on the table and stared at Duanmu Ci, but Xiting behind Duanmu Ci seemed to be Same as their situation, they were all poisoned, but Xiting was able to stand still, with one hand on his forehead.
Xiao Xingyu said angrily: "What medicine did you give us?"
But they obviously didn't eat anything, and they didn't touch anything, only...the only possibility is that they poisoned the incense!
Seeing Xiao Xingyu suddenly looking at the incense burner behind him, Duanmuci explained with a smile: "That's right, there is poison in the incense, and the antidote is just in the wine, but you two don't eat the toast and fine the wine, so don't blame me for being ruthless." gone."
She picked up the two glasses of wine on the table with both hands, poured one on the ground, handed the other to Xiting, and said, "Brother, drink the antidote first."
Xi Ting nodded and took the glass of wine.
Seeing that the antidote was in the wine, Xiao Xingyu wanted to reach for the flagon, but his movements were a little slower, and the flagon was taken away by Bi Duanmuci, and directly smashed to the ground. There was no other damage to the jug, but the slightly brown wine liquid was all spilled on the carpet, and the whole hall was filled with the aroma of wine.
Duanmuci smiled proudly: "The antidote is gone."
"you!"
Xiao Xingyu didn't feel any discomfort except his body was limp and weak, but looking at Xie Rulan, he seemed to be suffering terribly, his whole face was pale and bloodless.Duanmuci got up and walked to the incense burner, slowly extinguished the burning incense inside, and said: "You don't have to worry about your companion, the medicine I gave is not the most poisonous, it just makes people unable to use kung fu temporarily, like you People who don’t know martial arts like this will only feel exhausted.”
Duanmu Ci looked at Xie Rulan, and said: "The reason why Mr. Xie is like this, I guess this Mr. Xie must have noticed the medicine I gave just now, and wanted to use his skills to force it out, which is why he is so uncomfortable."
Xiao Xingyu looked at Xie Rulan, Xie Rulan nodded to him, and said: "It's true, there is no deadly poison in the incense."
Xiao Xingyu was relieved, Duanmuci turned around and walked behind the two of them, and also observed that Xiao Xingyu was very worried about Xie Rulan's attitude, so he pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I think you can listen to me now Bar?"
Xiao Xingyu said angrily: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush!"
Duanmuci nodded, sat down again, and explained: "You and I have known each other since childhood. Although we have always been incompatible, it is still considered a friendship. If I hadn't asked you for something today, how could I have calculated you every step of the way? How about inviting you to the mansion?"
At this moment, she turned serious, and her brows were furrowed, as if she was really in trouble.
"To be honest, since the death of my aunt, those aunts in my family have come back to make trouble again. They don't accept me as the head of the family. The Duanmu family has a big business. I am not very old. Although I have some people on my hands, I am old Before my wife died, [-]% of the power was temporarily handed over to the clan elders, and the aunts also shared some property. But I recently got news that my aunts united to deal with me, in order to get the property of the Duanmu family They can do anything, so I have to get all the money in my hands as soon as possible."
"And I only need to do one thing to gain power and control the Duanmu family completely, and that is to get married."
Xiao Xingyu suddenly understood what she meant.
Duanmuci sighed: "Before she died, the old lady ordered that the [-]% of the property rights can only be handed over to me when I get married. At that time, those aunts will definitely obstruct in every possible way, because they know that the reason why they have so much money Fighting with me is only because I only have half of the financial power in my hands."
Xiao Xingyu smiled bitterly and said: "So you made my idea and wanted to marry me, and then hold on to the power. But why did you choose me? Can't you find someone else? I'm a dead person ah."
Duanmu said: "Other people? I only believe that mutual benefit is the best cooperative relationship. Think about it, if you help me regain power, then my Duanmu family will listen to you in the future. Isn't it the best of both worlds? "
It really sounds very tempting, not to mention that she also made it clear that it is a marriage, but Xiao Xingyu is still not happy, he looked at Xie Rulan and said: "I will never agree to you, even if it is a marriage, I will I will only marry the person I like!"
Inexplicably, Xie Rulan was bewildered, Xiting heaved a sigh of relief, but Duanmu Ci was amused, insisting on going against him, he sneered, "You have no choice!"
She slammed the table and stood up, bluntly said: "In three days, you and I must get married! I have prepared everything. If you want to leave Yunzhou alive, you must do what I say!"
"A word..."
Xi Ting seemed to have something to say, but Duan Muci hurriedly interrupted him, and said: "Brother, you watch them these three days, and don't lose sight of them, otherwise my sister, I will die!"
Xi Ting was very embarrassed, but he could only nod his head: "Okay."
Duanmu Ci glanced at Xiao Xingyu again, and sighed: "Don't look at me with that look, do you think I want to marry you? If it's not really desperate, do you think... who wants to marry you? "
Xiao Xingyu couldn't laugh or cry, but he couldn't say anything sarcasm, because when he saw Duanmuci say this, his eyes seemed to be watery, and she seemed to be about to cry!And Xiao Xingyu had never seen her cry before, so he froze at this moment.
So Duanmuci turned around and left the hall, and ordered his servants to prepare for the wedding. When he heard the maids outside the hall responding in a hurry, and then the footsteps started to increase frequently, he knew that the outside was already busy.
Now Xie Rulan was better. He was sitting next to Xiao Xingyu, looking at Xiting, who kept pacing back and forth, turning left and right in front of the door. This person seemed to be more anxious than his sister.
Xie Rulan whispered in Xiao Xingyu's ear: "Are you really going to marry Patriarch Duanmu?"
Xiao Xingyu shook his head hurriedly, and replied in a low voice: "Of course not! I've said it all, even a fake marriage is not acceptable!"
Looking at Xie Rulan with aggrieved eyes, Xiao Xingyu asked again: "Your inner strength is really..."
Xie Rulan shook her head with a sullen face, Xiao Xingyu despaired, and sighed: "It seems that we can only marry her in a fake way."
Xie Rulan smiled and said, "What are you in a hurry for? Don't you have three more days? Three days can be long or short, but if you want to escape, there is no chance. As long as you don't want to get married, I can find a way Get you out. Speaking of which, this is the first time I've helped someone escape marriage."
It was a bit funny to say it, his eyes were shining brightly, Xiao Xingyu became more and more helpless, so in Xie Rulan's eyes, is running away from marriage a very exciting thing?And why did he still see gloating in Xie Rulan's eyes?
The two whispered for a while and attracted Xi Ting's attention. Xi Ting seemed to hesitate for a while, then walked in front of Xiao Xingyu, bowed his head to salute Xiao Xingyu, and said with a sad face: "Fourth Young Master, this time it is Ah The words are not done correctly, but Ah Ci is still young, and it is because of being forced to do so, please be generous, don't blame me."
Xiao Xingyu didn't know whether this Xiting knew his identity, but seeing that he was so polite, he should be a good talker, so he said: "The chief steward of Xiting doesn't need to be like this. From this point of view, the chief steward also doesn't agree with your Patriarch. How to do it?"
Xi Ting struggled a little between his brows, pursed his thin lips and said: "Yes, it was Ah Ci who offended the Fourth Young Master, and Ah Ci should never have hit the Fourth Young Master's idea."
When he spoke like this, Xiao Xingyu confirmed that this person also knew his identity, and suddenly thought of a way, summoned that person to sit next to him, and said with a smile: "Boss, you see, you don't agree with Duanmu's words either. How about you do me a favor and let us go?"
Xi Ting immediately shook his head and said, "No."
He was a bit weak at first, but at this moment he was extremely firm, thinking of what Duanmu Ci said just now, if he let Xiao Xingyu go, he would be harming Duanmu Ci, and Xi Ting would never let him go.
Xiao Xingyu tried a few more words of persuasion, but Xiting refused to let him in. Although he thought Duanmu Ci was wrong, he refused to let him go, and finally said harshly: "If I let you go, something will happen to Ah Ci of!"
What a good brother.Xiao Xingyu, who was in a hurry, thought, and lowered his face, the medicinal properties were probably useless to him, he didn't practice his internal skills, he just became weak for a while, and then he returned to normal, but Xie Rulan was still very tired all over.
Xiao Xingyu said: "Then you can let us go back to the room and have a rest?"
Xi Ting thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Of course, you two come with me."
No matter how angry Xiao Xingyu was, he had no choice but to help Xie Rulan back to the room, thinking that since he was trapped in Duanmu's house, he would not eat or drink to be prepared, but before he said he was hungry, Xiting was already caring Someone brought the food.
Even though the two were eating behind closed doors in the room, Xi Ting still guarded the door and never left the door.
No wonder Duanmuci let this weak scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken come to look at them, it really is so clingy!Xiao Xingyu had a headache, but looking at Xie Rulan, he thought he was eating beside him without paying any attention. Xiao Xingyu frowned, leaned over and asked him, "Have you thought of a way to escape marriage?"
Xie Rulan swallowed the food in her mouth, shrugged and said, "No."
Then you still eat so at ease...
Thinking of certain possibilities, Xiao Xingyu was afraid for a while, and immediately grabbed Xie Rulan's wrist, and hurriedly said: "Don't eat it! What if they poisoned the food again?"
Xie Rulan was stunned for a while, then laughed and said: "No, they have already given the medicine, and I believe that the housekeeper of Xiting is not that kind of person."
Xiao Xingyu was jealous, and curled his lips and said, "You've only known him for a long time, and you know he's not this kind of person?"
Xie Rulan said, "Don't you think he's weird?"
Xiao Xingyu nodded slowly, "There are some, but I'm not familiar with him, so I don't know what this person is thinking."
Xie Rulan put down her chopsticks, pushed Xiao Xingyu's hand away at the same time, and said affirmatively: "I think he is strange, just because there is one thing about him that I don't understand. He has never met you, but the short conversation just now , as well as previous performances can be clearly seen.”
"He doesn't like you very much."
"Ah?" Xiao Xingyu became more and more confused, "Why didn't I see it?"
Xie Rulan smiled and said: "When I first came here today, I told you that I saw him looking at you for a long time in the corridor, and he was very hostile. And a person like him who is the chief housekeeper of the Duanmu family must be very tactful, with seven orifices. Linglong, but he obviously doesn't want to talk to you, which means he hates you."
"But why does he hate me? I just met him today!"
Facing Xiao Xingyu's question, Xie Rulan couldn't answer, picked up her chopsticks again and said: "I don't know, don't think too much, they are willing to serve us with delicious food and drink, so let them, anyway, life is safe now, It's getting late, let's eat early, wash up and sleep."
