Even with her guard up, the solid traditional eight-seat table in front of Liu Shimei suddenly split open, startling her!
She lowered her head and noticed a hole opening in the floor beneath the table. A small platform emerged, carrying tea, and a voice from behind the darkness said, “Please, have some tea!”
Seeing the tea being offered, the silly puppy eagerly said, “Wife, are you thirsty? Let me pour you a cup of tea!”
He casually grabbed the teapot, and both Liu Shimei and Liang Yi couldn’t stop him!
Fortunately, after the teapot was lifted from the small platform, it descended back, and the table returned to its original state!
Liang Yi glared at him and said, “You really are a fool! Did we come here to drink tea?”
In front of the host, he couldn’t say: Aren’t you afraid there might be something wrong with this mechanism, or that the tea might be poisoned?
Pretending not to understand, Huangfu Lingyao smiled and said, “Wife was so busy that she was afraid Ninth Brother would wait too long. She didn’t even have a sip of water before coming to find you. She must be thirsty now!”
Liang Yi,
Well, this logic was flawless; there was absolutely no room for criticism!
His devotion to his wife was ingrained to the bone!
Inside the stone room, the sound of pouring water was particularly clear. Huangfu Lingyao poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Liu Shimei, asking, “Wife, would you like some?”
Liu Shimei didn’t dare to drink the water here. After all, even if her medical skills were superb, her ability to detect poison and antidote had its limits. She knew that the field of medicine was boundless, and there would always be aspects she couldn’t explore. So, in this unfamiliar and mysterious place, she didn’t dare to overestimate herself.
Liu Shimei accepted the tea offered by the silly puppy out of politeness. She took the tea and said, “Let’s talk about the main issue. Other matters are not important. Later, we can go out to the West Market, buy some fruits, and I’ll make juice for you.”
This was a subtle way of telling her silly son: I won’t drink this tea, and you shouldn’t either!
Upon hearing about making juice, Huangfu Lingyao became excited. “Great! Great!”
A twitch appeared at the corner of Liang Yi’s lips.
He wanted some too!
Did these two forget why they came here? How could they act so nonchalant? Did they consider his feelings?
However, the host seemed patient. He waited until their lovey-dovey moment was over before he spoke, “The guest has chosen the information worth 1,000 coins. So, what do you want to ask?”
“Can we ask anything?” Liang Yi inquired, playing with his dagger.
As the older brother, he had to protect his sister. The ‘fiance’ there was a fool, so he had to step up.
A voice came from behind the black curtain, “Feel free to ask. As long as the information I have here is worth 1,000 taels of silver, I will tell you the truth.” “Alright, then I’ll ask!” Liang Yi proceeded with the questions he had planned on the way here, “I want to know whether the death of the eldest son of the Liu family, Liu Quan, was accidental or intentional. If it was intentional, who was responsible? If you don’t know the answer, can you tell us honestly what information you have and share it all?”
Upon hearing this, Liu Shimei was slightly surprised. She cast a glance at Liang Yi, as if to say, “Ninth Brother, you’re really something!”
And indeed he was!
His questions were tightly woven, covering everything they wanted to know and ask.
Especially the last sentence, bluntly stated: Tell us everything you know and can share with us!
