Chapter 368: Chapter 135: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (22)

But Chi Yun’er just smiled and dodged them. "Aunties, I’m not a child. I can serve myself. Besides, I don’t have a big appetite; a few bites and I’m full."

"Everything is delicious today, so you two should eat up. Don’t worry about me."

Aunt Chun Gui smiled and nodded. "All right then. Chi, you make sure to eat plenty. The chef who cooked today is excellent."

A flash of anxiety crossed Grassroots Auntie’s face, but she pretended to be like the other women and joined the scramble for the dishes.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yihua used the excuse of having to drive the tractor to avoid the toasts offered to him. He maintained a cold expression, taking only the smallest sip even when it was just tea.

In truth, he’d already had a complete falling out with Jiang Zishi and had no intention of keeping up appearances for his sake. He put on the airs of a young man from the Capital City, lazily sizing everyone up with a sidelong glance. It was infuriating!

The village chief gestured to Jiang Zishi, and the two of them headed to the backyard, pretending to use the restroom.

"Those two are on high alert. We don’t have an opening," the village chief said, his voice laced with anxiety. "The engagement banquet is more than halfway over. Director Zhang, who’s been hiding in the side room all this time, is getting antsy. He’s already made the wild pigeon call several times!"

"If all else fails, should we just put the drug in the food? It’s not like it’s lethal..."

Jiang Zishi pressed his lips together and shook his head. "That’s too risky."

"Even if we’re targeting Chi Yun’er and Jiang Yihua, everyone else at the table would pass out too. The ones drinking alcohol are one thing, but the elders and children just eating the food would also react."

"We can’t get the dosage right. Too little, and it won’t work. Too much, and someone could die. Who’s going to take responsibility for that?"

"Besides, Dad, do you want other people knowing you have access to that kind of drug?"

The village chief shook his head repeatedly. ’This is such a mess.’ He scratched his head vigorously. "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Jiang Zishi scoffed.

"Get Yumin to lure Chi Yun’er outside. When no one’s looking, she can use a drugged handkerchief to knock her unconscious."

"Chi Yun’er is so delicate; Yumin can easily overpower her on her own."
