Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

On the female guests' side, the ladies from various families cast suspicious glances at Lu Li.

Lu Li frowned slightly. She couldn't guess what Lu Qian's intention was, but in this situation, it was not appropriate for her to confront Lu Qian head-on. She could only say softly, "Thank you, sister."

Lu Qian's face was filled with joy. She smiled charmingly and said mysteriously, "Qian Qian also prepared another gift for my sister."

Lu Qian waved her hand gently, and Jin Chan stepped forward quickly. She was holding a tray in her hand, on which was placed a small and exquisite wine pot and a pair of delicate wine glasses. In the sunlight, they were shining with a warm luster.

Yuzhu followed Jinchan's steps and picked up the wine pot with trembling hands, but hesitantly poured the wine into the cup for a long time.

Lu Qian secretly glared at Yuzhu. She snatched the wine pot and gently turned it. She said cheerfully, "Sister, look! This wine pot is engraved with lovebirds and lotus flowers, symbolizing a happy marriage. Inside the pot is mother's treasured fruit wine, which is sweet and delicious. Mother prepared it especially for your wedding. Sister, you must have a drink today."

As she spoke, she gripped the handle of the wine jug and poured a full glass. The amber wine swayed gently in the glass, emitting a refreshing fruity aroma.

Lu Qian glanced sharply at Yuzhu who was standing beside her. Yuzhu couldn't help but feel nervous. She moved forward and tremblingly held the glass of wine in front of Lu Li, whispering, "Miss, please..."

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's, and her throat seemed to be blocked by something, so she didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Lu Li looked at Yuzhu in confusion, only to see that Yuzhu had her head lowered and her hands were trembling slightly.

Seeing Lu Li's face full of suspicion and everyone's eyes focused on Yuzhu, Lu Qian cursed her as a loser in her heart, but chuckled softly and said, "Sister, why don't you accept it? Do you think this wine is not tasty?"

She quickly poured another glass of wine, picked it up and drank it all in one gulp. The wine passed through her throat, and the spicy and sweet taste intertwined together made her almost choke and cough.

Her expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal. She said sweetly, "This wine is delicious! Sister, you should drink it too!"

Lu Li's suspicion grew deeper. Lu Qian seemed strange in every way today, but if he didn't drink the wine, it would probably lead to more suspicion and trouble, so he had to reach out to take it.

At this moment, Xie Qingli, who had been watching the excitement from the side, suddenly stood up. She quickly took the glass of wine, put it under her nose and sniffed it gently, and sighed softly, "It's really a good glass of wine! Sister-in-law, I...I usually like to drink fruit wine the most. Can...can you give this glass of wine to me?"

Xie Qingli's face flushed slightly, her eyes full of anticipation, but she couldn't help sneering in her heart. Lu Qian was so young, yet so cruel and ruthless that she dared to poison someone in public. She wondered if she was planning to fight to the death, or had already thought of a way out?

A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her lips. She was originally worried about how to get rid of Lu Qian, the scourge, in a fair and just manner. She never expected that Lu Qian would actually commit suicide. It was true that one reaps the consequences of one's own actions!

Hearing the word "sister-in-law", Lu Li's cheeks turned red instantly, and she lowered her eyes shyly. She no longer had the mind to care about the glass of wine.

A sly glint flashed in Xie Qingli's eyes, and he chuckled, "Then I'll take it as sister-in-law's consent!"

She raised her hand and covered the wine glass with her wide sleeve. Just as she was about to drink, a gentle voice suddenly rang out: "Sister Li'er, no!"

Everyone looked up and saw a handsome, slender man striding over from the men's side. He quickly walked to Xie Qingli's side and whispered, "Sister Li'er, this wine is a gift from Miss Lu to her sister. How can you take someone else's love? This is disrespectful."

He turned to look at Lu Li again, his eyes calm and deep, his tone gentle: "Miss Lu, if you are not good at drinking, I should drink this glass of wine for you."

Lu Qian looked at the man and woman scrambling to drink in front of her, feeling somewhat exasperated. She glared at the man and sneered, "Who are you? Why should you drink this glass of wine in my sister's place?"

The man's face was as calm as water, and he said calmly, "Zhang Shouan, your sister's fiancé."

Lu Qian was shocked. She looked Zhang Shouan up and down and said sarcastically, "You're as thin as a bean sprout. You look like a short-lived ghost..."

Before she finished her words, Lu Li scolded her in a low voice: "Qianqian, shut up!"

But Lu Qian's voice was so loud in his rage that everyone in the banquet hall noticed the commotion. Both Mr. and Mrs. Zhang's faces turned ashen. If the Lu family bullied others like this, the marriage would be aborted.

Lu Xiu Zhang had been tipsy after three rounds of drinking. Seeing everyone looking towards the female guest, he turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was Lu Qian. He was immediately embarrassed and angry, and shouted, "Lu Qian, why are you here? Get out now!"

Lu Qian was in a state of panic, but she figured her father, out of respect, wouldn't do anything to her in front of so many people. So she bowed respectfully and pleaded, "Daddy, this is a great occasion for my sister. Qianqian just wanted to offer her a glass of fruit wine. But this is my first time drinking, so I'm a little drunk. I just said something so foolish. I know I was wrong!"

She turned to look at Zhang Shouan and choked up, "Brother-in-law, Qianqian was drunk and that's why she said nonsense. I beg you to forgive me."

Zhang Shouan's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at Lu Qian calmly and said in a deep voice, "That's all right! The length of one's life is determined by heaven. How can it be influenced by the words of ordinary people?"

Xie Qingli was worried that Lu Xiuzhang would forcefully drag Lu Qian out, thus wasting today's opportunity. He quickly said with a smile, "Yes! Today is Second Brother and Sister-in-law's engagement day. How can we let this little glass of fruit wine ruin their fun? Everyone, stop arguing. I'll drink this wine."

She quickly raised her hand and, concealing it with her sleeve, downed the glass of wine. Afterward, she wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, turned to look at Lu Qian, and said, "Second Miss Lu is right. This wine is indeed sweet and delicious, a rare treasure."

Zhang Shouan's brows knitted together, his eyes fixed on Xie Qingli, his gaze filled with anxiety. He had noticed Lu Qian the moment he entered. Recalling how the Mao family had murdered Lu Li in his previous life, he knew Lu Qian was no good, so he had been keeping a close eye on the goings-on here.

When he saw Xie Qingli suddenly offer to drink in Lu Li's place, alarm bells went off in his heart. There must be something fishy about Lu Qian's drink. Could it be that Li'er's sister was planning to take Lu Li's place in order to repay her?!

He ran over to stop it without regard for etiquette, but it was still useless? Just when he was extremely anxious, he saw Xie Qingli winking at him quietly, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

"Ding~"

Suddenly, without warning, the wine glass in Xie Qingli's hand fell, colliding with the cups and plates on the table with a sharp, sharp sound. In an instant, the shards scattered all over the floor, and the juice splashed everywhere.

Xie Qingli's face turned extremely pale in an instant. She covered her stomach, her body trembling slightly, and cried out, "It hurts... It hurts so much..."
