The strange woman who plays power: the fourth lady who plays power

Xiao Yuandong said with guilt on his face: "I'm sorry, Tao'er, feelings cannot be forced, I have failed you in this life. You live well and be filial to your parents."

"No! No one can touch you, you are mine." Hu Taoer suddenly rushed towards Xiao Yuandong, hugging him tightly, tears streaming down her face.

For her affection, Xiao Yuandong has nothing to repay her, only a thousand lines of tears.

Fu Yaxuan couldn't help being moved by such a heartbreaking scene, all resentment was born of love.

……

The case finally came to light, which also meant that Fu Yaxuan and others had to leave this town.

At night, the courtyard is still dimly lit with blue light, and the moonlight is deserted.

Mrs. Hu sent someone over, saying that she was going to see them off in advance.

Fu Yaxuan changed into a set of white casual clothes, and Cui Moyao took Han Gao and Lu Qiuhong to the banquet.

The banquet has already been prepared, and all of them are rare local snacks, which are delicious in color, fragrance, and mouthwatering just looking at them.

At the banquet, Mr. Hu and the Hu people had specially dressed up, looking energetic, with a smile on their faces all the time, but Hu Tao'er did not appear.

"For a long time, we have not been able to entertain the prince and concubine well. Today, we, the husband and wife, will offer a toast to the prince and concubine. I wish you a smooth journey tomorrow." Master Hu stood up holding the wine glass.

"Thank you both." Fu Yaxuan also stood up holding the wine.

Just when everyone was about to stand up, Fu Yaxuan suddenly looked outside the door and shouted: "There seems to be thick smoke coming out of the firewood room, is there a fire?"

"Where? Where..." Master Hu and Mrs. Hu desperately opened their eyes, but they couldn't see anything.

"That's where." Fu Yaxuan ran out of the door and shouted, pointing to the distance.

A group of people followed Fu Yaxuan out of the door and asked loudly, "Where, where?"

Cui Moyao frowned and said, "There is only a dark cloud there, are you seeing it wrong?"

Fu Yaxuan scratched his head and said: "It should be fine, maybe I just misread it. It's fine, it's fine, let's go back and continue drinking."

She turned her head and secretly exchanged glances with Lu Qiuhong.

Back at the table, Fu Yaxuan picked up the wine glass and stood up: "Come, Mr. Hu, Mrs. Hu, let us toast you."

"Cheers." Master Hu's eyes were shining with joy.

After drinking the wine in the glass, Fu Yaxuan began to eat vegetables and meat in large chunks, chewing and praising at the same time.

"Why don't you eat?" Fu Yaxuan looked at the two elders of the Hu family.

"We often have these things to eat, and you are leaving tomorrow, so eat more if you like." Mrs. Hu said with a smile on her face.

Fu Yaxuan drank two glasses of wine, although he didn't feel like drinking, he became more interested, and said with a smile: "I've lived here for so long, and I suddenly feel a little bit reluctant to leave."

"If you like it, you can come and sit here when you come back. The door of our house is always open for you." Master Hu said.

"That being said, I'm here to thank you two first. Come on, I'll respect you two more." Fu Yaxuan poured wine for them himself.

After a few glasses of wine, Fu Yaxuan's face turned red, and his smile was full of flair, "Mrs. Hu, I'm really sorry. If it wasn't for me, your family wouldn't be in this state."

Madam Hu held the wine glass, shook her head and sighed: "This has nothing to do with you at all, don't blame yourself, don't mention these unhappy things."

"Mrs. Hu, your health is not good. You must gain weight. We are leaving tomorrow. If there is another chance, I will come to see you."

Master Hu suddenly sighed, and said, "It's a pity that your plans are about to change."

Fu Yaxuan's hand holding the vegetables paused slightly, and asked in surprise: "Why do you want to change?"

Madam Hu's eyes were full of sadness, and said quietly: "Princess, I'm sorry, we can't let you go."

As soon as she said this, Fu Yaxuan was really taken aback, and asked, "Why?"

"Our family can't live without Tao'er, and Tao'er can't live without Xiao Yuandong, so I have to sacrifice you all." Mrs. Hu sighed and said with pity on her face.

The more Fu Yaxuan listened, the more confused he became, and asked: "What do you mean by Ma'am..."

Before he could finish speaking, his body fell far away.

"You finally know now." Madam Hu said sadly.

"Wine... the wine is poisonous!" Fu Yaxuan lay powerlessly on the table.

"I'm sorry, it's not a last resort, and I don't want to."

Cui Moyao supported Fu Yaxuan, frowned, and asked with concern: "Xuan'er, what's wrong with you? Why is it that I'm fine after drinking, but you are poisoned?"

After calculating the time, he should have had an attack, but he didn't.

Both Mr. Hu and Mrs. Hu were shocked, but at this moment, they felt dizzy for a while, and suddenly they fell upside down and fell straight, their eyes were staring, foaming at the mouth, as if possessed generally.

"What... what's going on here?" Cui Moyao was stunned.

Fu Yaxuan jumped up suddenly, and laughed loudly: "Master, madam, why are you poisoning your own wine?"

Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Hu rolled her eyes and suddenly remembered.

Fu Yaxuan smiled and said: "You are so smart, you should be able to think of it, that's right, when you went out just now, you changed the bowl."

Madam Hu's face was ashen, and she said in surprise, "You... how do you know..."

"Everything you have carefully arranged is to make us fall for it. Unfortunately, the more carefully you arrange, the more flaws will be exposed." Fu Yaxuan sighed.

"Xuan'er, your acting is so good, you even fooled me." Cui Moyao couldn't help admiring.

Only Fu Yaxuan and Lu Qiuhong noticed it, even Cui Moyao and Han Gao were kept in the dark.

"Master, madam, where is the antidote?"

Madam Hu looked at Fu Yaxuan even more surprised, and asked: "We want to harm you, do you still want to save us?"

Fu Yaxuan shook his head and said with a smile: "I know that you did this all for Hu Tao'er. I am also someone else's mother. How can I bear to blame you for the poor parents in the world."

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect there to be such an upright and good official in the imperial court. This is our blessing." Master Hu panted with difficulty, but his eyes were full of joy.

"Stop talking about this, where is the antidote?" Fu Yaxuan felt sorry for them.

"The lantern-like black fruit planted in the yard outside can detoxify people if they eat it." Madam Hu had a bitter smile on her lips.

Fu Yaxuan winked at Lu Qiuhong, signaling her to go out and pick black fruits.

After a while, Lu Qiuhong picked the black fruit back and asked the two elders of the Hu family to swallow it. After a while, the toxin on the two of them was lifted, and their faces returned to normal.
