Of course, Prince Wang also saw that Wen Meijiu had returned, and his eyes were not blind.

"Miss Wen."

Zhi Zheng stood where he was and bowed gently to Wen Meijiu who was standing in the middle of the room.

Wen Meijiu nodded to Zhizheng, then bowed to Prince Wang who was sitting in the chair and said:

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. What do you want to talk to me about today?"

Wen Meijiu could see that she didn't like Young Master Wang coming to her house for dinner, and Young Master Wang didn't seem to like staying here either. Looking at his face, he didn't even smile since she came in.

Of course, he was probably born that way.

Yesterday he said he wanted to come for dinner, but that was just a coincidence. So he should have no reason to come for dinner today, right?

Zhi Zheng saw that Wen Meijiu was in a bad mood, so he quickly took over her words and said:

"Miss Wen, you just came back and haven't even had time to catch your breath. It won't be too late to sit down and talk to the young master first."

Wen Meijiu thought that she and Master Wang were not very familiar with each other. He always acted superior, so she had nothing to say to him.

But Zhizheng was a good person. They were guests in her house, so she couldn't respond too harshly.

"Miss Wen, please sit down first."

Seeing that Wen Meijiu didn't say anything, Zhi Zheng pointed to another empty chair.

"Alright."

Others may not know, but Wen Meijiu knows clearly that sitting on the two chairs in her house is much more tiring than standing, so it is better for her to talk while standing.

Wen Meijiu agreed verbally, but did not move to the chair next to him.

Zhi Zheng thought that Wen Meijiu was embarrassed to be on an equal footing with Prince Wang. Although she was now free and in her own home, she might still be affected by the previous master-servant relationship.

He coughed lightly, stopped fighting and said:

"Hey, Miss Wen, we came here this time to ask if you still have the antidote for the poison that the young master was poisoned with last time?"

He was just making small talk to stop the argument. Of course, the antidote to the hemlock was indeed what he wanted.

"Oh, there is another bottle. If Brother Zhizheng needs it, I can give you one."

There are two types of antidote for Hedinghong: one is in injection form, which takes effect quickly; the other is in tablet form, which takes a little longer to take effect but is easy to use.

When I gave the Wen wine to Zhang Can, I put a few extra small bottles in it. There are still four bottles left in the space, so it's okay to give one bottle to Zhi Zheng.

"Don't worry, just give it to me when you leave. Thank you, Miss Wen."

After hearing what Zhi Zheng said, they really wanted to have lunch here before leaving.

Just eat it. It’s not that we can’t afford to feed them a few steamed buns, but we can’t be wasteful like we did yesterday.

She knew that the wedding invitation was very expensive, and she thought it would only cost thirty or forty taels of silver, but she didn't expect it to cost over a hundred taels.

"You're welcome."

After Wen Meijiu said this, he unconsciously glanced at Prince Wang, wondering if he could swallow this steamed corn bread since he was used to eating delicacies from land and sea.

Steamed corn bread is considered a top-grade food in ordinary people's homes. Most families eat even worse than this.

Seeing him sitting on the Diaoyutai with a calm and composed look on his face, and fearlessness in his eyes, I thought it would be a good idea to let him have a taste of the warm wine.

"Oh, then you can have lunch at home. My family is too poor to entertain you like we did yesterday. I'm afraid you won't be used to the food."

Halfway through her words, Wen Meijiu's eyes slowly moved to Prince Wang's face. Seeing that he remained calm, she continued:

"Usually we eat vegetable dumplings. Today, Master Wang is here, and my mother is happy. She said we can have steamed buns for lunch. What do you think?"
