Chapter 189 Don't Blame Me for Being Rude
Wu Xiyuan panicked at once and felt like he might pass out at any time. He knew that Zhang Jingbai and the others set him up out of bad intentions. Thinking the way Zhang Jingbai looked at Jiuyue before, he clenched his fists more and more tightly.
Jiuyue might be in danger!
He had always been in control of everything. But this time, he lost it, and it made him feel bad.
The crisp voice sounded again when Wu Xiyuan was about to stand up with one hand on the chair. "You all look like scholars. If you don't get out of my way, I will go to the magistrate to complain. In that case, I am not sure if you still have the chance to go to the capital and meet the King with the identity of a criminal!"
Suddenly, everyone outside was quiet. Those men dared to do so under the influence of drink and they really didn't want to risk their lives just for having fun.
Su Jiuyue's tightly clenched hands were sweaty. Seeing that those people wanted to back off, she secretly cheered herself up again.
She raised her head and looked at them, shouting angrily, "Get out of my way now!"
One of them felt dissatisfied with being scolded by a woman, and he frowned and wanted to go forward, but was stopped by his companion.
Then, Su Jiuyue walked up to the shopkeeper and asked, "Where are the students of the Thatched Cottage?"
The shopkeeper was a decent businessman. The results of the countryside entrance exam had been revealed recently. Some students had good grades, and some failed. In any case, people would come here for a drink, so his business was good.
He remembered clearly that the students of the Thatched Cottage had ordered a big private room tonight, and he asked a waiter to take Su Jiuyue upstairs.
At the end of the corridor, the waiter stopped in front of a private room. "This is it, my lady."
Pursing her lips, Su Jiuyue looked at the closed door and pushed it open.
At this moment, everyone in the room was looking at Su Jiuyue, but she ignored them and only saw Wu Xiyuan.
She had been staying with Wu Xiyuan day and night for the past six months, so she knew very well about him.
Because of this, she could tell at a glance that something was wrong with him.
She rushed over at once and held his hand, regardless of all the people around. She asked, "Xiyuan, what's wrong?"
Wu Xiyuan was about to faint and didn't recover a little until he was held by Su Jiuyue.
With his lips trembling, he tried hard to say two words. "Go... Home..."
Su Jiuyue turned her head to look at Zhang Jingbai and asked angrily, "What's wrong with my husband?"
Zhang Jingbai was caught off guard, looked into her eyes and panicked. But he soon calmed down and smiled, "Don't worry. He just got here and had two glasses of wine. Maybe he's a little drunk."
"Is that so?" Su Jiuyue asked suspiciously.
Zhang Jingbai nodded solemnly, "Of course. He will be fine when he goes home and has a good sleep."
They had made a plan but didn't expect that, after Wu Xiyuan had just arrived for a while, his wife would come.
Su Jiuyue grabbed Wu Xiyuan's wrist and touched his pulse.
She immediately knew that Zhang Jingbai was lying.
She was certain about it, but she didn't say things to unravel his lie.
She held Wu Xiyuan with one hand and glanced at everyone. "My husband can't drink! If anyone dares to ask him for a drink in the future, don't blame me for being rude!"
Her being angry was like a fierce kitten trying to protect its food, and no one took her seriously at all.
Obviously, she also realized that, so she suddenly took out a kitchen knife from her arms and slammed it on the table.
She asked harshly, "Got it?"
Everyone looked at the knife on the table and then looked at Wu Xiyuan.
All of a sudden, no one envied Wu Xiyuan anymore, because they felt sorry for him marrying such a vixen.
Some people even pictured the scene of the big guy Wu Xiyuan being scolded by his wife.
Su Jiuyue had the worst impression of Zhang Jingbai, and she believed that he must be behind all this.
She looked at Zhang Jingbai coldly and asked in a low voice again, "Got it?"
Hearing her voice, Zhang Jingbai didn't doubt that if he dared to say no, she would definitely have the guts to put the knife directly on his neck.
He nodded subconsciously, and Su Jiuyue turned to look at the others.
All of them nodded and said, "Yes... Yes..."
Then, Su Jiuyue put Wu Xiyuan's arm on her shoulder and held his waist with one hand to help him up.
Wu Xiyuan felt dizzy and lightheaded and had no strength to walk.
But he clearly saw how his wife supported him just now and felt so happy.
In his previous life, Jiuyue was like a delicate flower that needed good care.
However, in this life, she had silently become so strong without noticing.
Now she was able to protect him in turn. He never had this feeling before, but he liked it very much.
She had changed because of him. No matter what she was like, she belonged to him.
They supported each other all the way back to their small courtyard. Su Jiuyue closed the yard gate and then helped Wu Xiyuan enter the room.
She took off his shoes and wiped his face with a handkerchief. Then she walked to the cabinet and found the silver needle that her master had given her earlier.
"Xiyuan, relax. I will insert the needles in your body, and you will be fine soon."
At this time, Wu Xiyuan had already fainted and couldn't hear what Su Jiuyue said at all, leaving himself at her mercy.
With a sigh, Su Jiuyue took out a silver needle and inserted it into his forehead and the finger of his right hand.
About half an hour later, he slowly woke up.
Wu Xiyuan blinked his eyes, looked at his wife in front of him, and then turned to look at the furnishings in the room, and felt relieved.
Seeing that Wu Xiyuan had woken up, Su Jiuyue immediately leaned over and asked, "Xiyuan, are you awake? How do you feel?"
Wu Xiyuan shook his head, stretched out his left hand and handed her what he had been holding.
Su Jiuyue felt strange, took it over, and found that it was a piece of tea leaf.
"Tea leaf?"
"Yes, there is something wrong with the tea they gave me."
Su Jiuyue picked up the tea leaf and smelled it. Then she frowned and said, "Yes, it was drugged. It's not the original taste anymore. I don't know what drug they used, but I'm sure that they must have ulterior motives. You can't contact them anymore, or don't blame me for being rude!"
