Chapter 157 This skirt smells wrong
Her sixth sense has always been very accurate. This Qiuyao must be planning something bad.
For a moment, Qiu Ning also sat in his seat, frowning, as if thinking about something.
At this time, Zhang whispered to Qiu Ning, "Aning, when you're out, please be quiet. If people knew that your relationship has become so strained, it would only make you a laughing stock. For mother's sake, please don't argue with your elder sister."
Qiu Ning glanced in Qiu Yao's direction and saw that she had returned to her usual aloof self, eating and drinking as usual, and even gave her a look that seemed to indicate she was enjoying the show.
This made Qiu Ning feel even more threatened.
In line with the principle of being cautious in everything, Qiu Ning did not touch a single bite of the food on the table, for fear that he might accidentally eat something he shouldn't.
However, she could protect herself from food, but she couldn't protect herself from someone accidentally splashing a bowl of soup on her while passing by her. By the time Qiu Ning reacted, her skirt was already wet.
"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, please forgive me, miss!"
Seeing this, the maid who served the food immediately apologized and begged for mercy to Qiu Ning with a very sincere attitude.
Seeing this, the host of the banquet, Lady Cheng, the Duke of Cheng, first scolded the maid a few words, then ordered someone to drag her away and wait for her punishment.
Afterwards, he went forward personally and found that Qiu Ning's skirt was wet in a large area and it was obvious that she could no longer wear it.
Fortunately, the Chengguo Mansion had already prepared a corresponding emergency plan for hosting such a banquet, and had specially allocated a room for the female members of the family to change clothes.
So she ordered the maid beside her, "You, take Miss Qiu away quickly and help her change into new clothes before coming back. There must be no delay!"
Afterwards, Qiu Ning, led by the maid, quickly entered a room specially used for female family members to change clothes.
From the beginning of the banquet until now, she had not dared to let her guard down. If her guess was correct, there must be something fishy about the maid who served the dishes just now.
Otherwise, why would the water spill on her so carelessly when he walked in front of her even though the passage was obviously very wide?
Qiu Ning intuitively felt that this matter might be related to Qiu Yao.
But she couldn't understand why Qiuyao's hand reached out to Duke Chengguo's Mansion. Could she even bribe the servants in the mansion?
This sounds unlikely.
Just as Qiu Ning was thinking about her troubles and taking off her dirty skirt, she suddenly heard some movement in the room next door.
Without thinking too much, Qiu Ning immediately reached out and pulled off the nearest skirt and quickly put it on herself.
However, just after she finished this set of movements, she found that there seemed to be something wrong with the skirt.
To be precise, the taste above is wrong.
Because as soon as I put on this skirt, a charming yet very unfamiliar fragrance instantly hit me.
Qiu Ning didn't dare to hesitate and immediately held his breath.
However, even so, he inhaled a small amount of drugs, and almost in an instant, he felt dizzy and his hands and feet became weak.
Damn it! I was careless.
Qiu Ning cursed inwardly, then leaned against the wall and reached into his pocket to search for something.
Fortunately, in order to save her life in the cold palace, she developed a habit of carrying a few bottles of spare pills with her when she went out. Today, she was attending the banquet, so it was not convenient for her to bring poison with her, lest something happen and implicate herself. Fortunately, she brought a bottle of detoxification pills and gold wound medicine, just in case.
Unexpectedly, it came in handy at this moment.
Just as she swallowed the detoxification pill, she saw the door curtain being opened from the back, and then a man who looked a little wretched walked out.
There were dark circles under his eyes, his face was pale, his steps were unsteady, and he seemed to be shrouded in a layer of decadence.
At first glance, you can tell that he is a person who has been indulging in sensual pleasures for a long time.
The moment the other person saw Qiu Ning, the light in his eyes seemed to be lit up, revealing an obsessed look.
"Wow, I didn't expect that the person arranged for today would be a stunning little beauty. That's really great, haha!"
The man's name was Wu Dacheng, the eldest son of the Marquis of Xuanning, and a well-known playboy in the capital. As he was the only son in his family for three generations, he was raised like the apple of the eye by the wife of the Marquis of Xuanning, and developed a lot of bad habits. He spent his days in brothels listening to music, sleeping with prostitutes, and made friends with a bunch of playboys outside. He was famous for being idle all day long.
Because of his bad reputation, no lady from a respectable family in the capital was willing to marry him, and the wife of Marquis Xuanning was extremely anxious.
Just yesterday, someone delivered a letter saying that a play would be arranged at today's banquet. If one cooperated well, he could marry the prime minister's daughter.
The wife of Marquis Xuanning was somewhat reluctant at first. After all, acting at the banquet hosted by the wife of Duke Chengguo was a huge risk.
But then, the servant presented another thing, saying that as long as they cooperated properly at that time, they could ensure that nothing would go wrong.
The wife of Marquis Xuan Ning took a look and saw that it was a woman's handkerchief with a small word "Ning" embroidered on one corner.
She immediately thought of the fact that Prime Minister Qiu had a second daughter, whose name was Qiu Ning. Therefore, the owner of this handkerchief must be the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family.
And just a quarter of an hour ago, the wife of the Marquis Xuanning witnessed with her own eyes that Qiu Ning, relying on herself, could embarrass the daughter of the Grand Tutor, the daughter of the Minister of Rites and others, which made the wife of the Marquis Xuanning make up her mind immediately.
She has taken a fancy to Qiu Ning. She wants to find a daughter-in-law like Qiu Ning who can control Wu Dacheng.
So, the wife of Marquis Xuanning also gave the handkerchief to Wu Dacheng and told him to find an opportunity to wait here.
Wu Dacheng was originally very resistant to his mother's arrangement of his marriage, but when he saw Qiu Ning, he changed his mind.
This time, he would accept his mother's arrangement and marry the young lady first, and then go to her family to propose marriage. By that time, the parents of the other family would have to marry the girl even if they didn't want to because of her clean reputation.
Wu Dacheng was thinking happily in his heart, not realizing that there were already many faint footsteps coming outside.
"Hey, little beauty, are you changing your clothes? Do you need any help?"
Wu Dacheng stared at Qiu Ning with a squinting face, and kept walking, moving towards her step by step.
Qiu Ning reached out and grabbed the packet of medicine powder in his sleeve, his cold and dangerous eyes fixed on Wu Dacheng.
"If you dare touch me, I guarantee you'll regret it!"
However, Wu Dacheng automatically interpreted this sentence as Qiu Ning trying to scare him by pretending to be stubborn.
"Hahahaha, it turns out she's quite the hottie. I like her. This is exactly what I like."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of you later."
As Wu Dacheng spoke, he stretched out his hand and reached out to grab Qiu Ning, but Qiu Ning dodged and raised his right foot to kick him three inches below the abdomen.
