825: Evening Feast XIV

Evening Feast XIV

Feng Ruqing raised her brow and subconsciously followed Qin Chen's gaze. Seeing that Wen Yu was about to leave, the corner of her lips lifted.0

"No one is allowed to leave the chief manor before the physician is here. The feast will start later on."

The people present was in an uproar.

No one was allowed to leave? Who did this lady think she was? Does this lady think that she could do anything she wanted just because Gu Yiyi liked her? 

Hearing this, Wen Yu paused. A flicker of fear crossed her pale face

"The Thousand-Odds Ginseng Fruit is gone." With a cold face, Qin Li subconsciously held onto Wen Yu's hand.

In other words, no one would find out that the Thousand-Odds Ginseng Fruit was, in fact, poisonous. Moreover, even if someone found it out, it was a gift from Luo Fei. Hence, Luo Fei would appear as the person who wanted to kill Gu Yiyi. 

If worse came to worst, he would make Qin Xiaoyue a scapegoat. Qin Li and Wen Yu were not involved. 

"Young Lady Xiao Qing, what is going on?" Seeing that everyone was in a state of tumult, Gu Shi could not help but ask. 

"Well, someone wants to poison Yiyi." Feng Ruqing sneered.

"Who dares to poison my dearest daughter?" Gu Shi burst out in anger that was like a furious lion. His eyes were blazing with murderous intent. 

Did someone want to poison Gu Yiyi? Who had the guts to lay his hand on Gu Yiyi in the chief manor? Everyone exchanged glances of disbelief. 

'That is impossible! Gu Yiyi is Gu Shi's everything. Who dares to poison her?'

Previously, Gu Shi had risen to the manor master and even killed the former manor master because of Gu Yiyi. He knew that when he was powerful enough, so no one would dare to humiliate Gu Yiyi. Naturally, everyone knew that how much Gu Shi loved his daughter. 

"What do you mean?" Qin Xiaoyue sneered.

"You don't need to beat around the bush. You could just tell everyone that Luo Fei wants to poison Gu Yiyi. Luo Fei has gone through all kinds of suffering and has spent so much time and effort before he could get this spirit herb for Gu Yiyi. Not only have you destroyed it, you have even made him a scapegoat. 

"Xiao Li, look at your good friend."

'Father would not poison Gu Yiyi, but Xiao Qing would not tell a lie, let alone make someone else a scapegoat. There must be something that I don't know.' Luo Li was lost in her own thoughts.

Since Feng Ruqing did not say anything after that, it was clear that she did not want to speak any further. Hence, Luo Li did not ask Feng Ruqing anything and was only waiting anxiously for the physician. 

Even though Luo Fei had upset Luo Li, he was Luo Li's father after all. Naturally, she did not want to see him making a big mistake, she did not want to see her grandfather's life-time painstaking effort vanish without a trace.

It was a silent night, the cloud overshadowed the last ray of moonlight.

The chief manor was still brightly lit and everyone was waiting, quietly.

Simply no one knew how much time had passed. Suddenly, a guard escorted a grey-haired elder into the chief manor, anxiously. 

"Manor Master, something happened in my manor and my daughter is sick. Hence, I had rushed back to my manor and did not manage to inform you. What has happened? Who is sick? Why are you summoning me so urgently?" The grey-haired elder rushed up to Gu Shi, anxiously. 

"Young Lady Xiao Qing, this is the physician of chief manor—Grandmaster Qian Kun. He is on par with the Grandmaster Hai Rong." Gu Shi turned to look at Feng Ruqing.
