Yingzi's face changed: "Miss, I won't marry, I will follow you, I am willing to follow you and serve you forever."
Su Qiao smiled helplessly and shook his head: "What's the point of following me? It's best to get out of this kind of place as soon as possible."
Yingzi was afraid that she would marry into a poor family, so she was almost crying and held her hand tightly.
"Miss, I'm not afraid, and... and I think it's great here, at least much better than outside. I don't have to starve or freeze, and I won't be bullied."
Su Qiao looked surprised: "Do you think this place is good?"
"I... I don't think there's anything wrong with it." Yingzi blushed, but still said what was in her heart.
Su Qiao sighed, "Is that so? It's up to you then!"
Yingzi breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the untouched tea in her hand, she became a little anxious: "Miss, the tea is getting cold. Drink it while it's hot!"
Su Qiao looked down at the tea, smiled, and handed the cup back to her: "It's indeed a little cold, Yingzi, you drink it. My throat has been a little inflamed these past two days, so I can only drink the throat-soothing tea prescribed by the doctor."
Yingzi was shocked, "Ah? How could I have forgotten about this?"
The young lady went to get the medicine today during the day. Since Aunt Wu accompanied her at that time, Yingzi ignored this matter for a while.
She was now very regretful, but she was in a difficult situation. Looking at the tea handed to her, she felt extremely panicked.
Su Qiao smiled with a gentle and innocent look on her face: "It's okay if you forgot. Just drink the tea. I heard from Sister Jin that this tea is quite expensive. One or two ounces costs four or five copper coins. It was Third Master who took care of me and specially asked someone to prepare it for me."
Yingzi's eyes were filled with fear and she involuntarily took a step back.
"I... with my status, how can I be qualified to drink such a precious thing? I'd better take it away!"
Su Qiao frowned slightly: "Wouldn't it be a waste if we take it away? Drink it now while it's still warm. You've probably never had it before, so now's a good chance to try it."
"I..." Yingzi was so scared that her heart tightened. She clutched the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, not knowing what to do.
Wu Ma narrowed her eyes, saw something, stepped forward, took the teacup from Su Qiao's hand, and handed it directly to Yingzi's mouth: "Miss asked you to drink, just drink, why are you so long-winded?"
"I... I don't... don't want to drink." Yingzi's face was pale, and even her voice was trembling.
"You have to drink it even if you don't want to." Aunt Wu snorted in her heart, pinched her mouth open, and poured the tea into her mouth.
Seeing the tea go into Yingzi's mouth, Su Qiao fumbled for the chair and stood up, whispering: "It's okay, if she doesn't want to drink it, don't force her, just waste it!"
Wu Ma put the cup on the table at the side, turned around and said calmly: "Miss, she has never tasted such a good thing. Yingzi likes to drink it."
“Cough cough cough… cough cough cough… Auntie Wu… you… how could you…” Yingzi was choking on her tears. She covered her neck tightly and inserted her fingers into her throat, digging anxiously.
However, the tea had already slid down the throat into the stomach, so how could it be taken out
But after a moment, she let out a miserable cry, fell to the ground, and began to roll around.
“Ah… It hurts… My stomach… My throat… Ah… Ah…”
After shouting for a while, Yingzi became unable to make any sound and could only make meaningless sounds.
"There is indeed a problem!"
Aunt Wu went forward to take a look and snorted coldly.
