Chapter 19 The Wife of the Fifties (19)

  The banquet was only halfway through, and there were still a few dishes to be served. Aunt Li's butt seemed to be glued to the bench, unwilling to move.

  Helpless, Tan Zhiming and Chu Shenyu helped him to the guest room in the west wing.

  They thought that Wu Quanshui would not fall asleep all night since he had only drunk two glasses of wine, so they fed him a few sips of honey water and let him lie on the kang.

  After walking a few steps, Chu Shenyu felt dizzy and pulled a chair in the outer room to take a breath. "Brother Tan, I drank too much just now and I'm a little drunk. I'm going to rest in the room."

  Tan Zhiming smiled and patted his shoulder. "Okay, I'll tell your sister-in-law when I get out. I'll give you a portion of the remaining food first."

  After that, Tan Zhiming brought a thermos of hot water and let him sober up in the room.

  As soon as the people left, Chu Shenyu's hazy eyes suddenly turned cold.

  There's something wrong with the tea!
  The tea that Mrs. Tan used to entertain the guests was brought by Mr. Tan from the office. It was not top-grade, but it left a lingering fragrance in people's mouths. Other colorless and tasteless things were added to the tea. Because the amount added was quite heavy, the tongue would feel a raw, sour and numb feeling after drinking.

  Even if he discovered it in time and quietly changed to boiled water to rinse his mouth, some drugs had already penetrated into his body, and because of drinking, he had a tendency to burn his body after more than half an hour!
  During this period, Wang Xianbing came in to see him and brought him a glass of honey water.

  Chu Shenyu had a strong willpower, and outsiders could not see any difference. Therefore, he took advantage of this time to keep drinking water to speed up the metabolism in his body and try to dilute the impulse.

  But for him, this was tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, and his consciousness gradually became a little fuzzy.

  However, as long as he could survive the period when the drug effect was the strongest, there would be no big problem.

  ***
  Guo Meiyun was not feeling well either. Her whole body was burning with nameless fire, and her consciousness was being pulled further and further away. It felt like she was extremely sleepy but was holding on. She could only pinch herself hard with her nails from time to time.

  Lin Jin had just said a few words to Wang Xianbing, and came over and whispered, "The accountant is sleeping soundly in the inner room with the quilt in his arms, and Engineer Chu is also in the outer room and looks like he can't wake up."

  She didn't say anything extra. Lin Jin and Guo Meiyun had imagined many situations before.

  Since they used drugs, they had to be prepared to be discovered, so the scapegoat had to be chosen well.

  Zhu Yun was a ready-made one!
  She admired Engineer Chu, and didn't like anyone who had anything to do with the Wang family. She had a motive for committing the crime, and she helped in the kitchen, so she also had the opportunity to commit

  the crime. Besides, Zhu Yun's reputation in the family compound was not good before, and now she only relied on her good craftsmanship, which was not enough to erase her bad reputation.

  Between Zhu Yun and Wang Xianbing and his wife, who would everyone subconsciously stand for?
  Guo Meiyun was so excited that she relied on her last bit of strength to sober up for a while, walked around the two sisters-in-law, and went to Zhu Yun: "Comrade Zhu Yun, I'm not feeling well. Can you take me to rest?"
