Chapter 2875: Chapter 2875: Thank You for Your Hard Work (Part 1)

Yang Ruyu shook her head, "Brother Laiwang, I haven’t had a chance to drink this soup yet."

At this moment, Luo Qiaoqiao also returned, her face visibly a bit off.

"Look at you, woman, even a simple soup you can’t keep clean." Ma Laiwang scolded Luo Qiaoqiao with a frown.

"How am I not clean? Who knows what happened?" Luo Qiaoqiao frowned, "I won’t make it anymore." She turned and walked away.

"You woman, what’s wrong with me saying a few words to you?" 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

Unfortunately, Luo Qiaoqiao was already far away.

"Brother Laiwang, don’t be angry." Yang Ruyu hurriedly soothed Ma Laiwang, "Sister Qiaoqiao didn’t mean it."

"Ah, what a temper." Ma Laiwang sighed, "If only she had your temper."

"Speaking of which, Brother Laiwang, I heard you almost became my uncle-in-law." Yang Ruyu glanced at Ma Laiwang, shy and timid.

"Don’t mention it." Ma Laiwang waved his hand, "Your Yang Family didn’t think highly of me."

"How could that be?" Yang Ruyu hurriedly stepped forward, "I wasn’t around then."

"Yeah, I haven’t seen you in so many years, you’ve become more beautiful than before." Ma Laiwang gave Yang Ruyu a glance, suddenly recalling something, "It’s getting late, you’d better head back."

"Okay." Yang Ruyu didn’t linger, "I’ll come find you to chat another day."

Watching Yang Ruyu’s departing figure, Ma Laiwang’s expression suddenly darkened. He turned and went into the workshop, glancing at the barrel that had been tampered with, feeling a pang of heartbreak; there were dozens of vats of wine that would go to waste. Alas, Xinxin was really something, she should have listened when he suggested diluting it with water.

But despite his complaints, he quickly filled a vat with the tampered wine and hurried off to find Yang Ruxin.

"You’ve worked hard these days, you and Qiaoqiao both." Yang Ruxin smiled at Ma Laiwang, "But you’ll have to keep putting in the effort for a few more days."

"What’s hard about it? It’s just that woman is a bit too disgusting, Qiaoqiao said she almost couldn’t stand it."

"Haha, don’t say that, Qiaoqiao has quite a talent for acting." Yang Ruxin laughed.

Ma Laiwang scratched his head. Back in the distillery, when that woman threw flirtatious glances at him, he really wanted to slap her, but he managed to hold back.

"Xinxin, who would have thought the other side would go to such lengths?" Dao Xuzi looked at Yang Ruxin with a smile, "Guess what’s in here?"

Yang Ruxin glanced at the wine that was poured out, "The taste is very familiar. If I’m not mistaken, it’s Biluo?"

Dao Xuzi nodded, "Indeed, if this were ordinary wine, just one sip would result in instant death."

"What about for us, the not-so-ordinary ones?"

"Our wine has detoxifying properties, so drinking it won’t result in immediate death, but it will cause unconsciousness."

Yang Ruxin frowned. How many times had this poison appeared? Her mind flashed through all those who had grudges against her like a movie, but ultimately, while everyone seemed possible, none seemed exactly right.

Regardless, it seemed the only choice was to start with Yang Ruyu.

These past few days, Yang Ruyu had been extremely anxious, closely monitoring the situation at the distillery. Today, she finally saw with her own eyes the goods being sent off, feeling both happy and afraid. She thought perhaps it was time to leave, so that no matter what happened, they wouldn’t be able to trace it back to her. But just as she turned around, she was startled: "Why are you standing here?"
