Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

"Master Chen," the Lu family's servant walked into the shop, stood beside Awang, and said with a slight bow, "Our young master has something important to discuss with you. We'd like you to come over."

Awang looked up and confirmed that the person in front of him was Lu Yong's close follower. He couldn't help but hesitate. He subconsciously glanced at Taohua and said, "Is your young master looking for me for something particularly important? As you can see, I'm really busy in the store and can't get away for a while. How about this, let your young master come directly to the store. We can talk here just as well."

The Lu family servant maintained a respectful expression on his face and responded slowly, "Master Chen, to be honest, our young master is looking for you because of an urgent business matter. Unfortunately, Master Chen is not in the capital at the moment, so we have no choice but to ask you for your decision on this matter."

When Taohua heard that it was an urgent business matter of the Chen family, she thought quickly in her mind. Master Chen was out promoting sweet potato noodles, and Awang, as the eldest son of the Chen family, should help handle the affairs of the capital.

Besides, she would be the mistress of the Chen family in the future, and her mother had taught her to consider the overall situation when doing things. She glanced around the store and found that there was indeed nothing urgent at the moment.

Taohua raised her head, looked at Awang tenderly, and said softly, "Brother Awang, go ahead. Business matters can't be delayed, and the Chen family needs you now. Come back soon, and when you come back, we'll prepare the stuffing for tomorrow."

Awang stood up immediately, his eyes full of gratitude towards Taohua, "Okay, I'll be back soon." After that, he gave Taohua a gentle reassuring look, then turned around and followed the Lu family's servants out.

Seeing this, Dongmei hurriedly advised, "Miss, are you so confident in letting Master Awang go? Look, those young masters don't behave very decently on a daily basis. They might be in cahoots with Miss Wang Er."

Before leaving, Madam repeatedly warned her to be extra cautious outside and specifically instructed her to accompany the young lady to the Chen family in the future. But now, the young lady had just arrived in the capital and encountered someone causing trouble. It seemed that the person was not friendly.

Hearing Dongmei's reminder, Taohua's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly recalled her mother's earnest advice before she left the house, asking her to be more careful in everything.

She thought for a moment, then quickly turned to Dongmei and said, "Dongmei, go to Laifeng Tower right away, find Manager Liu, and tell him that Young Master Lu's family has sent someone to invite Awang to discuss business matters.

It's getting late, and I'm really worried. So I asked him to send a few capable servants to secretly watch over Awang and make sure he returns safely."

"Yes, Miss!" Dongmei did not dare to delay for a moment. After responding, she turned around and ran towards Laifeng Tower.

Dongmei arrived at Laifeng Tower very quickly. She went straight to Liu Quan and repeated Taohua's instructions to him word for word.

When Liu Quan heard this, his deep eyes darkened slightly, and he instantly understood the concern hidden in Taohua's words. After all, the master had sent him here specifically to protect the young mistress and Master Awang.

Without hesitation, he summoned several servants who were known for their ability and agility, and quickly ordered, "All of you, follow me to the Lu Yong family's villa in the city and secretly guard Young Master Awang."

"Brother Lu," Ah Wang said as he entered the Lu family's villa. His eyes swept over the fine wine and delicacies on the table, and his heart was immediately filled with suspicion. He asked directly, "You sent someone to call me here specifically. Is there something wrong with your business? If it's nothing urgent, I'll leave first. Taohua is still waiting for me in the store."

Lu Yong's face was filled with smiles. He hurried forward and said warmly, "Zexi, I called you here because of something extremely important. How dare I delay you for no reason? Our two companies have been working together for so many years, and you and I have been friends for many years. You don't even trust me, do you?"

As he spoke, Lu Yong picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Awang. With a seemingly enthusiastic smile on his face, he said, "Zexi, this is a new wine from the capital. I heard it is brewed from sweet potatoes. I bought some specially for you. Come and try it."

Sure enough, when Awang heard that the wine was made from sweet potatoes, a light flashed in his eyes. You know, sweet potatoes have not yet been cultivated on a large scale, and only Futian Village has them in the entire city, so this wine is most likely from Futian Village.

With this thought in mind, Awang took the wine glass without any precautions, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, praising it, "Not bad, I never thought sweet potatoes could be used to make wine. It tastes really good. Brother Lu, where did you buy this wine?"

However, as soon as he said this, Awang felt a strong dizziness hit him, and the scene before his eyes began to blur. He rubbed his eyes hard, but was horrified to find that Lu Yong's face had become distorted, as if he had grown three mouths and four pairs of eyes.

Seeing this, Lu Yong shouted outside the door: "Come here, send Young Master Chen to the guest room to rest." After that, several servants came in from outside, carried Awang, and walked towards the guest room.

After the servant half-supported and half-carried Awang to the guest room, he tactfully left.

In the guest room, Miss Wang Er, dressed in a light gauze dress, her eyes full of spring, hurried forward and firmly supported the swaying Awang, saying coquettishly, "Brother Zexi, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Awang felt his head was extremely dizzy, as if it was wrapped in a layer of fog. He subconsciously held his forehead and used all his strength to maintain the last bit of consciousness. He said with difficulty: "You...why are you here..." Then, he suddenly exerted force and pushed Miss Wang Er away.

"Brother Zexi, I didn't expect you to be so determined." Miss Wang Er, however, was not angered. Instead, a sly glint flashed in her eyes. She slowly walked to the side and lit the acacia incense she had prepared. This was a rare treasure she had spent a fortune on, and today she was determined to enjoy this "good thing."

As the fragrance of the cassia tree rose, its unique aroma quickly spread throughout the house, and the air was gradually filled with an ambiguous and charming scent.

Under the dual effects of the drug and the aroma, Awang's consciousness became increasingly blurred and his body gradually lost control. Seeing this, Miss Wang Er approached Awang again and gently hugged him. The two of them swayed and slowly walked towards the bed.

……

"Master, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!" With the crisp sound of tiles moving, the tiles on the roof were lifted up, and Liu Quan fell down quickly, hanging upside down.

As soon as he entered the house and saw the dazed Chen Zexi and Miss Wang Er, who was dressed in cool and charming clothes, Liu Quan immediately realized that the young master was being plotted against.
