The scumbag wiped out my entire family, I was reborn to marry the villain prince

Chapter 56: The wine is poisonous
Ming Yuyan's face flushed with anger. She pointed at Lu Qingyu's nose and said, "You...you are slandering me! You are spreading rumors!"

Lu Qingyu shrugged and said indifferently, "Anyway, Yin'er told me. I don't know whether it's true or not. If you think it's slander, just go and confront Yin'er."

Just when the atmosphere was becoming extremely tense, Mrs. Lu, with her hair full of pearls and jade, walked out accompanied by her maid and successfully diverted everyone's attention.

"Everyone is welcome to my birthday banquet. The banquet has already begun. Please follow me and take your seats."

The main character had already appeared, and Ming Yuyan could only glare at Lu Qingyu angrily, then turned around and followed the crowd to the banquet.

Lu Qingyu sneered, casually raised his arm, put the powder under his nose and sniffed it gently.

After rubbing the powder under his fingertips again, Lu Qingyu frowned.

A little weird, this is just regular oleander powder.

Oleander is cold in nature and is mainly used to stop bleeding and remove blood stasis. In addition to its strong adhesion ability and being absorbed into the body through the skin, there is nothing wrong with it.

Lu Qingyu followed the crowd, thinking as he walked, but he was still a little unsure of Ming Yuyan's intentions.

After entering the main hall of the banquet, everyone followed the guidance of the maids and servants and sat down in order.

Coincidentally, Lu Qingyu sat at the same table with a few familiar people.

Xu Lingxuan, Lu Yiner, Ming Yuyan.

Xu Lingxuan and Lu Yiner sandwiched Lu Qingyu on the left and right, while Ming Yuyan sat directly opposite Lu Qingyu.

As birthday gifts from visiting guests continued to be presented, the atmosphere on the scene gradually became more heated.

Nowadays, the Minister of Personnel is highly regarded by the Emperor, and he also has an elder brother who is the Duke of Zhenguo and has made great military achievements. Therefore, the officials and their families who came to attend Madam Lu’s birthday banquet basically came with expensive gifts.

With the appearance of the Ming family's gift of a luminous pearl, the heated atmosphere at the scene was pushed to its climax.

"The Ming family has invested a huge sum of money this time. This Night Pearl is a treasure bestowed upon the Ming family by the Emperor himself."

"Yes, it seems that the Ming family wants to please Minister Lu."

"You think too simply. The Ming family values ​​Lu Shangshu's elder brother, the Duke of Zhenguo. The Duke of Zhenguo is a great hero of our dynasty. If you can get close to him, won't you have a bright future?"

"If I had known earlier, I would have asked my father to prepare a few more gifts."

There was a constant stream of discussions.

"This is a gift from our Ming family. I hope Mrs. Lu will like it." Ming Zichuan picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The crowd around immediately cheered.

When it was Lu Qingyu's turn to wear the red coral headpiece, there was another small commotion at the scene.

This set of red coral headdress is very famous. It arrived at Yuyuan Tower some time ago. It is said to be the dowry of a favorite concubine of the previous dynasty.

Lu Qingyu also stood up. "Today is my second aunt's birthday party. I racked my brains to choose this red coral headpiece as a gift. I hope my second aunt likes it."

Ming Zichuan, who was sitting in the men's section, suddenly stood up and said, "I've always heard that the children of the Zhenguo family are both intelligent and brave, and are generous and magnanimous. Why don't Miss Lu drink three glasses of wine to liven up the banquet?"

Lu Qingyu's eyebrows twitched.

It turned out that he was waiting for her here.

Oleander promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, and is a very cold thing, while the plum wine served at today's banquet is a very hot thing.

There is no problem if you take them alone, but if you take them at the same time and they come into contact with each other, then there will be problems.

In mild cases, red rashes appear all over the body and are extremely itchy. In severe cases, the throat swells and breathing becomes difficult.

"Mr. Ming, thank you for your compliment. I don't drink." Lu Qingyu refused directly with a calm expression. As if he didn't expect Lu Qingyu to refuse so straightforwardly, Ming Zichuan was stunned for a moment and then said, "Second Miss Lu is not giving face to Madam Lu. Everyone drank, are you the only one who is special?"

Lu Qingyu was silent for a moment, then slowly picked up the wine glass and shook it gently a few times.

Just when everyone thought she was going to drink it, Lu Qingyu's expression suddenly turned cold, and then she turned her head to look at Lu Yiner without any warning.

"It's not that I don't want to drink this wine, but Sister Yin'er just put drugs in my wine, and I don't dare to drink it."

Lu Qingyu stared at Lu Yiner, his tone was cold and stern, not like a joke at all.

The scene froze for a moment.

Lu Yiner stood up with a grim look on her face.

"Sister, how can you slander me? When did I poison your wine?"

"Since there is no poison, then sister, take a sip of my wine. If you drink it, I will drink the whole cup immediately."

Lu Qingyu handed the wine glass over and put it directly on Lu Yiner's lips.

Lu Yiner's pupils shrank slightly, and her intuition told her that something was wrong with Lu Qingyu.

But hundreds of people were staring at her, so Lu Yiner had no choice but to take the wine glass.

She kept encouraging herself in her heart.

It’s okay. Lu Qingyu was just testing me. She made me drink the wine because she was afraid it might be poisonous.

But I haven't been contaminated with oleander powder, so I'll be fine after drinking this wine.

After taking a deep breath, Lu Yiner poured the wine in the glass into her mouth expressionlessly.

"Sister, I am your cousin, how could I poison you?" Lu Yiner stuffed the wine glass to Lu Qingyu again and said softly.

Lu Qingyu smiled, "Yin'er is really straightforward. It seems that my sister has been too tired recently and has hallucinations. I will drink three cups as punishment."

As he spoke, Lu Qingyu drank three glasses of plum wine in a row.

Seeing Lu Qingyu drink the wine, Lu Yiner felt relieved.

But what Lu Yiner didn't know was that before she sat down to eat, Lu Qingyu had already used gold needles to seal the acupuncture points in her arm, locking the medicinal properties of oleander firmly in her left arm.

This shot can last for four hours, enough to get through the entire birthday party.

"Mother, we have almost finished eating at the banquet. Why don't we hold a piano performance and let the guests judge the winner?" Lu Yiner bowed to Mrs. Lu.

"Yin'er, this is a good idea, then..."

Before Mrs. Lu could finish her words, Lu Qingyu interrupted her.

"Wait, Second Aunt, I actually have something I want to ask you."

Mrs. Lu frowned. Why did Lu Qingyu always play by his own rules?
"Qingyu, go ahead."

Lu Qingyu smiled and turned around, looking back at Ming Yuyan, "Miss Ming San, our argument just now is not over yet. Now that Sister Yin'er is here, I will repeat the question again and see what Sister Yin'er has to say."

Without waiting for Ming Yuyan's reaction, Lu Qingyu spoke loudly, "Yin'er, didn't you tell me yesterday that Ming Ziluo's death was caused by Ming Zichuan, just to put the blame on the Zhenguo Mansion?"

Lu Yiner's pupils trembled, and she subconsciously opened her mouth to refute, but she was horrified to find that her mouth was out of control.
