It was another banquet, but this time, it felt a bit different.
I lowered my head, looking at the murky liquid in my wine glass.
Although I had no medical training, in a place like the Meng Family, filled with intrigue and scheming, I instinctively remained on high alert.
I subconsciously raised my head to glance around; no one seemed to notice me.
I pretended to lift the glass to my lips, but in reality, I was just going through the motions without actually drinking.
Looking up again, I caught a glimpse of Meng Xue.
As I suspected, she was chatting and laughing with others, yet her gaze occasionally flicked toward me.
Though she was smiling, there was an unmistakable hint of triumph in her eyes.
I lowered my head again, feigning intoxication as I gently shook my head.
I casually grabbed a passing servant and handed him my wine glass. "I'm feeling a bit tipsy; could you please bring me a glass of juice?"
After saying that, I swayed slightly as I stood up, holding my forehead and pretending to be dizzy.
"Of course, please wait a moment," the servant replied as he took the wine glass and turned to leave.
I leaned against the wall and made my way out of the banquet hall.
Seizing the opportunity, I suddenly closed my eyes and pretended to faint.
I accidentally bumped my head.
I took a sharp breath, maintaining a "coma" state.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to see what Meng Xue was really up to.
She drugged me, probably to control me.
Instead of being on guard everywhere, I might as well play along.
I want to see what tricks she has in store.
With my eyes closed, I could vaguely feel someone helping me up and bringing me into a room.
I squinted, secretly observing my surroundings; everything was blurry and hard to make out.
This should be a guest room.
I lay still for a while without any movement. Suddenly, I realized something.
Meng Xue knocked me out but didn't do anything to me; that was very unusual.
Was it just to get me away from the banquet?
But what benefit would that bring her?
I couldn't figure it out.
As the banquet ended and the guests dispersed, I heard faint voices coming from the next room.
I quietly made my way over and reached the door of the room.
The door was tightly shut, and I peered through the crack to see inside.
It was Meng Xue and Meng Jie.
"Brother, is the dosage for Gu Qing too small?"
"Don't worry unnecessarily. Even a little will be enough to leave her disoriented."
"What if she notices something?"
"That's impossible."
"But I still feel it's not safe. How about we increase the dosage next time?"
"Silly sister, we need to take it step by step. If we increase the dosage and she notices, our plan will be ruined."
"And," Meng Jie added, "as long as she keeps taking it, do you really worry that she won't die?"
Meng Xue seemed a bit reluctant.
But Meng Jie was already getting impatient.
"Alright, I’m in charge of this matter, so stop worrying unnecessarily."
Only then did Meng Xue obediently fall silent.
I listened in fear and trepidation.
So it turns out that Meng Xue and Meng Jie had drugged me.
No wonder I felt dizzy after just a sip.
What they are doing is trying to control me.
They want to turn me into a fool and then kill me.
What a malicious thought.
My hands clenched tightly, and a surge of anger welled up inside me.
These guys really think they can squeeze me like a soft persimmon.
Fine, then I'll show you what a true Gu Qing is.
Since then, I haven't attended any more banquets.
Every time they secretly drugged my food, I pretended to be unconscious and slipped away.
I thought about calling the police, but I had no evidence.
Moreover, with the Meng Family's power, even if I reported it, it might not do anything to them.
I can only rely on myself.
