Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 243 Mandarin Duck Pot
This sudden change shocked everyone. They all looked at Xie Qingli with surprise in their eyes.
Zhang Shouan was startled. He quickly helped Xie Qingli sit down and asked anxiously, "Sister Li'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xie Qingli frowned in pain and said in a trembling voice, "I...I don't know, I just suddenly felt a severe abdominal pain."
Mrs. Zhang and Lu Li also came over, trying to help in a panic, but for a moment they didn't know where to start.
"Qingli!" Hu Er's face was completely pale. He stumbled over and shouted, "Get out of the way! I'm a doctor. Let me take a look..."
He shouted as he pushed through the crowd and rushed to Xie Qingli's side. He quickly grasped Xie Qingli's wrist and felt his pulse. However, the pulse from his fingertips was neither rising nor falling, but gentle and strong, which was clearly the most normal pulse.
Hu Er couldn't help but frown. Sister Qingli's face was pale and her expression was painful, which didn't seem fake. Could it be that his pulse diagnosis skills were not good enough?
Suddenly, he felt two light kicks on his thighs. He looked down and saw Xie Qingli making a silent gesture.
Hu Er suddenly felt as if he had been enlightened. It wasn't his lack of skill; it was Qingli who was acting! Forced by the situation, he could only continue to play along. His face was solemn as he announced loudly, "Qingli's pulse is tight and rapid, weak and feeble, a sign of poisoning."
Suddenly, he paused and said slowly: "Fortunately, I brought an antidote pill that can cure all kinds of poisons. It can temporarily suppress the toxicity of Sister Qingli." As he spoke, he took out an oil-paper bag from his arms, took out a brown pill from it, and gently fed it into Xie Qingli's mouth.
Everyone was extremely surprised to see this. They had heard that the eldest son of the Zhang family was a lover of medicine, but they didn't expect him to carry such a precious pill. In fact, Hu Er didn't have any detoxification pills. Those were just Zhuangzhuang's daily snack - sour hawthorn pills.
In an instant, a strong sour taste spread in Xie Qingli's mouth, severely stimulating her taste buds. If it weren't for the hint of sweetness mixed in with the sour taste, she would have been disappointed.
Hu Er ignored everyone's reaction and picked up the broken pieces of wine glass on the ground. He sniffed them seriously and said in a deep voice, "The problem lies in this glass of wine!"
Lu Xiuzhang's drunkenness sobered up instantly. His eyes narrowed slightly, anger boiling within him. Although the eldest daughter of the Zhang family had been temporarily saved, Lu Qian had dared to poison someone in public. "A son's poor education is the fault of his father." How could he ever face his subordinates and the people of Jiazhou in the future?
Lu Qian stood there in a daze. She had never expected the poison to take effect so quickly. It must be that her mother was deceived.
But she didn't panic. Instead, she took a step forward angrily, her eyes flashing with a cold chill. With a "slap", she slapped Yuzhu's face loudly and scolded her harshly, "Yuzhu, kneel down! You are so audacious! You actually dared to poison my wine!"
Yuzhu knelt obediently on the ground, covering her burning cheeks, and stammered, "I...I didn't..."
Lu Qian interrupted Yuzhu and shouted angrily, "How dare you quibble? Miss Zhang and I drank from the same wine jug, but I was fine, but Miss Zhang was poisoned. You must have tampered with the wine glass."
She didn't give Yuzhu a chance to argue and continued, "Sister gave you to me, and you've always held a grudge against me, so you want to take revenge on me, right?"
Yuzhu shook her head frantically, her mouth moving as she was about to tell the truth when Lu Qian continued, "You're still saying no? Since you came to me, I've treated you well. I even helped your parents and brother. But what about you? You're always thinking about your old master!"
Lu Qian emphasized the words "my father, mother and brother". Yuzhu immediately understood the threat and quickly shut her mouth.
It was only fitting that all the blame be placed on a little maid. Just as Lu Xiuzhang was about to have Yuzhu taken away, Hu Er shouted, "Master Lu, please be patient."
He walked quickly to Jin Chan, picked up the wine jug on the tray and looked at it carefully, but did not see anything unusual.
Hu Er didn't know why Qingli reminded him to check the wine jug, so he had to turn around and hand the wine jug to Zhang Shouan.
Zhang Shouan stroked the body of the pot and suddenly recalled the treasures he read about in a chronicle when he was a child. Among them was a wine pot called the Mandarin Duck Pot. By pressing the mechanism on the body of the pot, two completely different types of wine could be poured out.
He held the handle of the wine jug and suddenly felt a small bump on the inside of the handle. He pressed it gently and heard a barely perceptible "click".
Zhang Shouan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said, "Brother, find two clean wine glasses." Without waiting for Hu Er to move, Lu Li had already ordered the maid to get them.
After a moment, Zhang Shouan poured two glasses of wine and said gently, "Second Miss Lu, since you insist that this pot of fruit wine is not poisonous and the problem lies with the wine glass, then please drink either glass to prove your innocence, how about that?"
Lu Qian turned pale with fear and took two steps back, saying coldly, "Everyone saw me drink that glass of wine before. Why should I drink it again? I can't handle alcohol, and I won't drink another glass today."
Zhang Shouan raised his lips slightly and said to the puzzled crowd, "This wine pot is called the 'Mandarin Duck Pot'. Its special feature is that when you trigger the mechanism, it pours out two different kinds of wine."
As he spoke, he slowly poured the wine from the pot into an empty bowl until not a drop was left. He then took another bowl and gently pressed the trigger, and the pot, which had just been empty, began to flow with wine again.
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Such a magical wine jug actually existed in the world! Second Miss Lu had just said that this wine jug and the fruit wine were specially prepared by Madam Lu. Second Miss Lu had also repeatedly urged First Miss Lu to drink. She must have been involved in the poisoning!
Lu Qian's eyes widened in disbelief. The treasure she and her mother had carefully prepared for so long had been discovered so easily by Zhang Shouan!
She looked around, seeing everyone's suspicious eyes and Lu Xiuzhan's extremely disappointed face, and an indescribable madness surged in her heart.
"Hahaha~"
Lu Qian's eyes were sharp, and she let out a sharp, piercing laugh. After she had finished laughing, she said coldly, "Zhang Shouan, do you think you can cure your sister? Dream on! This poison is a strange one passed down from Lin Yuan. It's extremely powerful. How can this low-level barefoot doctor cure it?"
She looked at Hu Er with contempt, then turned to Xie Qingli with a gloating look, and said sarcastically: "If you insist on grabbing this glass of wine, today will be the day you die! Unless..."
She paused, looked at Lu Xiu Zhang in the distance, and said loudly, "Unless Daddy releases Mom, I would rather die than hand over the antidote..."
