So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

Ling Xiaofu knew clearly that although the poisoned wine in her hand would not have a big impact on people like them who had spiritual roots, it was by no means harmless.

After drinking one cup, the meridians will be destroyed, and even if you have spiritual roots, it will be of no use.

She had no talent for cultivation to begin with, and if her meridians were destroyed, she would really have no way to survive.

Thinking of this, she knelt down in front of Ling Jiuan with pleading eyes.

"Jiu'an, I kneel down for you. But if I drink this wine today, I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself. Why don't you drink a glass with me? Just one glass?"

There was a hint of trembling and pleading in her voice, and fear was now in her eyes.

However, Ling Jiuan just smiled coldly.

"That cousin is really insincere. We are all family today. Even if it is a little inappropriate, it won't matter, right? If you really want to apologize, you should do as I say. Otherwise, what's the point of this apology?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaofu's face turned even paler and her eyes were filled with despair.

She knew that she had no way out.

Mrs. Lan also looked at her gloomily, and was very dissatisfied with her performance.

Seeing this, Ling Jiurong also felt that Ling Jiuan was being unreasonable and too aggressive.

She frowned, and her tone was filled with dissatisfaction and blame.

"Ling Jiuan, you are too arrogant. The past is the past, why hold on to it? The person who ordered you to be thrown into the back mountain was your father, do you still hate your father?"

When Ling Jiuan heard this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Fourth sister, I'm not holding on to the past, I just want justice. My father ordered me to be thrown into the back hills, so I naturally don't dare to bear a grudge. However, this does not mean that I can tolerate others hurting and humiliating me. Today, I just want my cousin to apologize for her past behavior. Is that wrong?"

Ling Jiurong's face darkened when she heard this. She knew that she could no longer convince Ling Jiuan.

Mrs. Lan also looked at Ling Jiuan with a complicated expression, with an unknown light flashing in her eyes.

Xiaofu was afraid that she would have no choice but to drink this wine.

I have to think of a way to ensure that Jiuan is not disabled and Xiaofu is not disabled.

Mrs. Lan pinched the handkerchief in her hand and spoke with a forced smile.

"Forget it, Xiaofu, please leave! Jiuan, you guys should talk about this matter in private. We are in public today, please give Xiaofu some face, okay?"

There was a hint of helplessness and compromise in her tone; the banquet could not go according to her plan.

However, Ling Jiuan did not say anything, but just looked at Ling Xiaofu coldly.

Just when Ling Xiaofu was about to return to her seat as if she had been pardoned, Ling Jiuan's expression changed sternly, and he suddenly reached out and fed the wine in Ling Xiaofu's hand into her mouth.

Before Ling Xiaofu could react, she had already drank the poisoned wine.

"Ling Jiuan, what are you doing?"

Ling Xiaofu was so frightened that she screamed and her face turned pale in an instant.

She looked at Ling Jiuan in horror, her eyes full of despair and anger. She didn't expect Ling Jiuan to be so bold as to murder her in public.

Mrs. Lan and others were also stunned by this scene. They did not expect Ling Jiuan to be so resolute and decisive.

For a moment, the entire banquet hall fell into silence, with only Ling Xiaofu's screams echoing.

In an instant, Ling Xiaofu's tendons and veins were broken, and she fell to the ground covered in blood, groaning in pain.

Her eyes were filled with despair and anger, but she was no longer able to resist.

Ling Jiuan smiled coldly and swept his sharp eyes over everyone present.

She spoke slowly, with a hint of sarcasm and indifference in her voice.

"Is this your sincerity, cousin? If I drink this wine, will it be useless?"

Her words sent a chill down the spine of everyone present.

They all knew that Ling Jiuan was not joking and she really had the ability to do this.

For a moment, the entire banquet hall fell into silence and no one dared to speak.

Madam Lan's face also became extremely gloomy. She didn't expect that Ling Jiuan would be so bold as to attack Ling Xiaofu in public.

She wanted to open her mouth to blame, but she didn't know how to start.

After all, she was the one who planned all this.

The other people from the Ling family looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected the banquet to turn out like this.

Ling Jiurong also didn't expect that in public, Ling Xiaofu would harbor evil intentions and attempt to poison Ling Jiuan.

Seeing Ling Xiaofu lying on the ground covered in blood, her face turned ugly for a moment, and her heart was filled with shock and anger.

She stared at Ling Jiuan with wide eyes, unable to believe that all this was true.

She originally thought that Ling Jiuan was just a little arrogant, but she didn't expect that she was so decisive and ruthless that she dared to kill Ling Xiaofu in public.

Ling Jiurong's heart was filled with complicated emotions.

She was angry and disappointed with Ling Xiaofu's actions, but she was also wary and uneasy about Ling Jiuan's strength and determination.

Ling Xiaofu was completely desperate. She lay on the ground, covered in blood, groaning in pain.

Her eyes were full of despair and a plea for help, and she whispered subconsciously.

"Madam, save me..."

Mrs. Lan's face changed. She was afraid that someone would notice something, so she spoke quickly.

"Someone come quickly, take Miss Xiaofu away for treatment!"

There was a hint of anxiety and panic in her voice, and she tried her best to hide her true emotions.

Hearing Madam Lan's cry, several servants hurried over. They were also shocked when they saw Ling Xiaofu's miserable condition.

They did not dare to delay and quickly lifted Ling Xiaofu up and hurried out of the banquet hall.

Before leaving, Ling Xiaofu looked at Ling Jiuan with resentful eyes, which were full of hatred and unwillingness.

She knew that what happened to her today was all caused by Ling Jiuan, and she vowed to make Ling Jiuan pay the price.

Ling Jiuan just watched coldly as Ling Xiaofu was taken away, without a trace of sympathy or compassion in her eyes.

After Ling Xiaofu was carried away, Ling Jiuan picked up his wine glass and gently swayed the wine in it.

"Forget it, let's not ruin the mood, just keep drinking!"

She spoke calmly, with an unquestionable dignity in her voice.

Upon hearing this, everyone present picked up their glasses and continued drinking.

Although they were shocked, they did not dare to show it.

Mrs. Lan also looked at Ling Jiuan with a complicated expression. She didn't expect Ling Jiuan to handle this matter so boldly.

Although she was dissatisfied, she did not dare to lose her temper easily.

After all, today's banquet had been completely disrupted by Ling Jiuan.

Ling Jiurong looked at Ling Jiuan with a gloomy face, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
