Chapter 66: Plotting over Tea

Gu Yichen smiled slightly and took the teacup. A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he finally brought the tea to his lips. He was always polite in front of outsiders, especially in the face of such official etiquette, he did not dare to refuse easily.

As he sipped the tea, its fragrance permeated the air, yet a sense of unease welled up within Gu Yichen. His keen eye for detail made him aware that, while the tea had no discernible odor, Prefect Wen's smile was overly flattering, and Nanny Li's movements were overly cautious.

When Prefect Wen saw Gu Yichen drinking the tea, he smiled with satisfaction and asked, "Master Shen, is this tea to your taste?"

Gu Yichen smiled, trying his best to conceal his inner turmoil. He put down his teacup and replied softly, "Thank you for your kindness, Prefect. This tea is indeed excellent." However, as soon as he finished speaking, a feeling of discomfort began to spread from his throat.

Prefect Wen's smile grew even brighter, with a hint of pride flickering in his eyes: "If Mr. Shen likes it, you can take some back to enjoy."

Gu Yichen felt his body shift, and the scene before him began to waver slightly. He secretly gathered his energy, trying to suppress the discomfort, but the medicinal properties of the tea were clearly extraordinary. His breathing became rapid, and his palms were slightly sweaty. Faced with this situation, he could only try his best to remain calm and wait for an opportunity to fight back.

Mo Xian was standing behind Gu Yichen. Seeing this, he quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you okay?"

Gu Yichen suppressed the discomfort in his body and nodded slightly, signaling Mo Xian to remain calm. He knew the Wen family must have drugged the tea, but leaving now would only arouse further suspicion. He had to remain calm and find the opportunity to strike back.

Behind the screen, Wen Min could no longer contain her excitement. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms. She was eager to see Gu Yichen finally become hers, and that little village bitch would no longer be able to thwart her plans!

Prefect Wen feigned composure and continued to exchange pleasantries with Gu Yichen, but in his heart he was certain his plot would succeed. He watched Gu Yichen's face gradually turn pale, feeling secretly pleased with himself.

However, Gu Yichen wasn't completely unprepared. He knew the Wen family had ulterior motives and had prepared Mo Xian for any potential consequences before entering the mansion. He tried to remain calm, smiling as he continued his conversation with Prefect Wen, but his eyes quietly conveyed a signal.

Mo Xian understood and quickly left the main hall to seek outside assistance. Meanwhile, Gu Yichen's body began to lose consciousness, but he relied on his powerful internal energy to stay awake. He knew this battle was far from over.

Wen Min saw Gu Yichen's face gradually turn pale, and she felt extremely proud. She couldn't wait to rush out and bring Gu Yichen into the inner room and make him her own. However, just as she was about to act, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the main hall.

"Mr. Shen, there is an emergency outside!" Mo Dong hurried over with a hurried tone.

Gu Yichen felt relieved, knowing that reinforcements had arrived. He took the opportunity to stand up and said to Prefect Wen with a smile, "My Lord, I'm sorry, but I have an emergency at home. I have to take my leave now. I will come back another day to ask for your advice." Without waiting for Prefect Wen to reply, he forced himself to stand up and left the main hall without looking back.

Prefect Wen's face instantly darkened, while Wen Min gritted her teeth behind the screen. The plan had failed? She was unwilling to accept this! However, she didn't know that Gu Yichen had long been aware of the Wen family's conspiracy and was simply waiting for the right moment to strike back.
