Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Doesn't this clearly show that the person who drugged Hua Murong was intentionally avoiding her, fearing that he would be retaliated against by the Hua family if something happened?

But that’s not right!

Has the other party forgotten the son-in-law of the Hua family?

Or does the other party not take this son-in-law seriously?

Or maybe they deliberately let him fall into the trap in order to alienate the relationship between Miss Hua and her husband, or even better, destroy Miss Hua's marriage, so that they would have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation?

But what does it mean to put the medicine in the soup?

Are they casting a wide net to catch fish or is it the handiwork of concealing that the target person is the son-in-law of the Hua family?

Hiss—it’s terrifying when you think about it!

Zhong Jing reacted very quickly this time. He looked at Xin Ye and asked, "What if you also drank the soup and offended sister Yi'er? Isn't that the same as offending the Hua family?"

What he didn't say was that provoking Shangyan Yiyi would not be as simple as wiping out the entire family. At least the Hua family's methods of wiping out the entire family were clean and efficient, but that ancestor's methods were even more cruel. He made people die in agony before he died, and after he died, not a trace of him would be left!

Oh, by the way, not many people know about this.

Tsk, from this we can infer that the person who drugged me is of average status and identity. Without even knowing this information, I’m afraid he’ll never figure out which great person he offended until he dies.

Xin Ye said quietly, "I am a doctor, and my medical skills are good. Isn't this known to everyone in Sand City?"

Uh...it seems like that's the case.

Once Xin Ye tasted the drug in the soup, he would definitely not drink it, so... the Hua family was also excluded, and the other party didn't dare to provoke them!

Fei Yuning was puzzled: "What if you drank the soup first, knew that the soup was drugged and warned everyone, wouldn't that person's plan fail?"

What does he want?

Mu Xiong: "Maybe... the other party is betting that Aye's brother-in-law is not the first one to drink the soup. What if?"

Hua Murong and the others were silent.

The other young people who were treated as fish in the fishing net became even angrier. Whoever is caught will be unlucky, right?

"No, we must let the prefect find the person!" someone said angrily.

They were totally ignored, how disrespectful!

What a shame!

The young man's angry shouting attracted the attention of the people around them. The people at the main table closest to them, especially Magistrate Du who was named, saw a group of people suddenly gathered together, and their faces did not look good. They immediately stood up and came over to inquire.

Logically speaking, he could have ordered someone to come and inquire, or asked them to send a representative to report the situation, but who made them nobles who should not be offended?

After Magistrate Du went over and learned about the situation, his face couldn't be any darker. Forget about the pot of soup, at least the main purpose was to see who would be unlucky, but those cups of wine were targeted and were from the same person, which was a slap in his face!

Is that a drink?

No, that is evidence of his incompetence as a prefect!

--check!

It must be thoroughly investigated!

Upon seeing this, the people at the main table called their own children over to inquire about the situation, leaving Governor Du standing alone at the empty round table, looking a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Prefect Du was even more furious. After all, he was a prefect and a fourth-rank official. He came over in person and inquired about the situation in a nice tone, but those mere merchants just greeted people directly and did not take him seriously at all!

Fortunately, he still had a trace of rationality. He was in the wrong about what happened tonight, so how could he dare to act arrogantly?

Having offended so many aristocratic families, can he still stay in Sand City?

To be exact, can he still save his life?
