Entangled with An Evil Lord

Frankly, Gu Xijiu was rather surprised that Fan Qianshi would try to poison his own subordinate. Therefore, she did not pay attention to it at the beginning. After all, what reason would he have to kill her? Unless perhaps this was to induce an abortion and get rid of the kid in her belly! Nonetheless, the smell of the liquid did not seem quite right to a trained physician like Gu Xijiu. Wu Wuyan’s response was also rather odd.

Quickly, she stole a glance at Fan Qianshi and saw that he was occupied by the spilled liquor.

"Wuyan," Finally, he opened his mouth and called for his subordinate, who was on the verge of attacking Gu Xijiu. "Rest assured, the wine is fine. I have collected it for you. Come, you can have it again." He handed over the glass of wine to her again.

Wu Wuyan was surprised. She had been with Fan Qianshi for many years, so she understood his likes and dislikes. Apparently, the man valued cleanliness a lot. Even if something precious had fallen to the ground, he would not want it anymore. But now, the man had actually consumed his spiritual power to collect some wine off the ground. This was strange for him to do. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ noᴠelfire.net

She hesitated for a moment, and Fan Qianshi’s facial expression turned serious all of a sudden. "What’s wrong? Are you afraid that this wine is poisonous?"

Wu Wuyan stammered, "No... I am not..."

Fan Qianshi laughed and gently continued, "If this wine is really poisonous, do you plan to turn down this reward?" His voice may have sounded gentle, but the message was ice cold.
