Chapter V Concerns

The dinner began soon.

During the banquet, people exchanged glasses of wine, and the aroma of wine filled their nostrils.

Ye Fugui and Ye Zhaoyan talked from time to time, while Xue Huaidan chatted with the others. Mrs. Qin sat next to Mrs. Xue and accompanied her to chat with the other female relatives.

"Zhaoyan, you have just recovered from a serious illness, so don't drink." Xue Huaidan looked at the wine glass in front of Ye Zhaoyan and said with concern.

"Father, don't worry, Zhaoyan knows the importance." Ye Zhaoyan responded obediently.

"Yes." Xue Huaidan nodded with relief and said, "How has your health been these past few days? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Excuse me, father, for thinking about me. My child's health is much better."

Ye Zhaoyan responded obediently, looking at the scene of a loving father and a filial son, a coldness flashed in his eyes, but his face was respectful and sincere.

"Huaidan, what's the important thing for inviting me here today?" Mrs. Qin asked, with a look of concern on her face.

She is well-maintained, and she still looks like a beautiful woman even though she is over forty. There is a faint hint of ability in her brows, and she is a good housekeeper.

"Aunt, I am going south this time to provide disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River. This morning, the emperor called me to leave at the end of the day. I thought it would be better to let Zhaoyan go with him and place her and Fugui in Tangyuan.

I visit and take care of you all the time.”

Xue Huaidan frowned slightly as he spoke, like a loving father who was worried about his wife and children.

Without waiting for anyone to answer, he continued: "It's a long journey south, and I don't know when I will be back. Dan'er would like to ask my aunt to help my mother take care of the household affairs."

Xue Huaidan looked questioning.

Hearing his words, Ye Zhaoyan suddenly became wary.

In order to trick her into going to Tangyuan, he went through such a big circle.

When he deceives, he doesn't forget to put on a show to show his loving father's face.

Ye Zhaoyan thought to himself, without showing any abnormality on his face.

Ye Fugui was slightly surprised when she heard this. It was only in the afternoon that she talked to Xue Huaidan about the proposal of letting her daughter stay in Ye Mansion, but Xue Huaidan didn't care much and said he would plan for Zhao'er.

Unexpectedly, he wanted to take the mother and daughter south without saying a word.

She couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that the expression on Ye Zhaoyan's face had not changed, Xue Huaidan said in a relaxed tone: "Zhaoyan is afraid of the heat and goes to Tangyuan every year. As a father, how can I trust others to escort me, so we will go together this time."

What Xue Huaidan said was reasonable and reasonable, and no one could find fault with it.

"Father treats Zhaoyan very well. But this year, I'm afraid the child won't be able to go south as expected." Ye Zhaoyan frowned and said softly.

Xue Huaidan frowned and looked at her: "Why is this?"

"My child has just recovered from a serious illness. He was much better at first, but today he almost fainted just after getting out of bed. I'm afraid that my father will have to work hard on the way south. If I delay my errand, I won't bear it."

Ye Zhaoyan's eyelashes were stained with moisture and he said pitifully.

This sensible yet aggrieved look would make anyone not feel heartbroken when seeing him.

Ye Fugui loved his daughter very much, and naturally he was no exception. He frowned tightly and wished he could immediately rush to hold his daughter's shoulders.

Even Mrs. Qin, who had always been calm and aloof, could not sit still, and the hairpin on her temples shook for a while.

In his previous life, Ye Zhaoyan practiced martial arts with his grandfather since he was a child. Although he occasionally had a bit of a domineering and aggressive temper, he never pretended to be weak.

Now this "sick and frail" appearance is actually believed to be true.

But Xue Huaidan is obviously not among them.

He saw Ye Zhaoyan's eyes were red and his face looked worried: "It's because of my father's negligence."

Ye Zhaoyan was a little surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that the other party would reveal it so easily. The words she had prepared were of no use.

At this time, a maid in a green dress came in carrying a plate.

The maid placed the plate on the table and said respectfully: "Master, Madam, Miss, this is the Kangtai wine prepared by the old lady."

"This wine was specially brought from Laoshan Mountain and brewed with medicinal fruits. It is not intoxicating. It is said to be a good wine for strengthening the body." Mrs. Qin explained.

When everyone heard this, their eyes instantly lit up.

"This wine is the best wine, just right for Zhaoyan's body." After Xue Huaidan finished speaking, he said to the maid: "Bring it to Zhaoyan to taste."

"Yes, sir."

The maid responded, walked to Ye Zhaoyan, and placed the bottle of wine on her table.

Seeing that Ye Zhaoyan did not refute, Xue Huaidan added: "Zhaoyan, this Kangtai wine is mellow and sweet. It is an excellent wine. After drinking it, it is also very beneficial to the body. You can try it."

Ye Zhaoyan hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand and opened the lid.

I saw that the wine exuded a strong fragrance, which was refreshing and intoxicating. The wine was green, crystal clear, and exuded a lustrous luster.

Ye Zhaoyan frowned, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the wine.

The maid poured the wine for her with a wink. Ye Zhaoyan took it and sipped it gently. Suddenly, a slight tingling sensation came from the tip of his tongue.

Alarm bells rang in her head.

If she hadn't been tortured by countless poisons after suffering a disaster in her previous life, she wouldn't be able to detect the fishy nature now.

The Contai wine poured into the cup and the wine in the bottle are not the same thing.

Ye Zhaoyan was confused as to how the maid would act in full view of the public.

Xue Huaidan had been observing her, and when he saw the surprise on her face, he immediately asked: "What? Is there anything wrong with this wine?"

Ye Zhaoyan shook his head repeatedly: "It's okay, I just suddenly felt a little pain in my stomach."

"Zhaoyan is in frail health, why not ask Mrs. Qin to take Zhaoyan to the medical office for a checkup." Xue Huaidan said with concern.

Ye Zhaoyan's heart sank after hearing Xue Huaidan's words. It seemed that Xue Huaidan was worried that she knew something fishy about the wine and deliberately wanted to test her.

It had been dark for a long time at this time, and being taken away from Ye Mansion rashly might cause trouble.

Xue Huaidan had an "I'm doing this for your own good" look, which disgusted Ye Zhaoyan, but he looked grateful.

"Thank you father for your kindness. Zhaoyan is just suffering from gastrointestinal discomfort, so there is no need to trouble Mrs. Qin."

As soon as Ye Zhaoyan finished speaking, he turned around and vomited.

The incident happened suddenly, and she was worried that she couldn't find a reason to stay in Ye Mansion. At this moment, she felt sick, and she just took advantage of the situation.

Ye Fugui hurriedly stepped forward to support Ye Zhaoyan, and said with a trembling voice: "Master, Zhaoyan is not suitable for walking now, so we should ask Dr. Zhang to come into the house for treatment!"

There was a hint of resentment in his tone, as if he was complaining that he was not considerate enough to his daughter.

Xue Huaidan's expression suddenly turned gloomy.

He said in a bad tone: "Zhaoyan is my only bloodline. As a father, I am naturally worried about her health. It's just that I was in a hurry just now, and caring will lead to chaos."

After that, he turned towards the door and shouted, "Here comes someone!"

The door curtain was lifted, and a burly servant walked in quickly from the outside, stood in front of Xue Huaidan and said respectfully: "What are your orders, sir?"

"Send the young lady back to her room in a soft sedan chair, and send someone to ask for Dr. Zhang." Xue Huaidan ordered.

Ye Zhaoyan sighed secretly.

The hidden mystery of the dinner seemed to have been revealed just like this.

After her previous life, she still knew something about Xue Huaidan.

He never lets go of any fish that wants to get away easily.

The coquettish Ye Zhaoyan felt a little uneasy, so she suddenly opened the curtain and looked behind her, only to see Xue Huaidan saying something to her maid Lianshuang.

Xue Huaidan's back was turned to her, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

There are four maids beside her. Except for Ying'er, who is always waiting on her, the other three will leave after taking care of the courtyard affairs.

This was a rule set by her who always liked peace and quiet.
