Chapter 105: Attending the Banquet

"Is it really a Haoran Zhengqi Pill?"

Lady Liu held Gao Youyao's hand and said excitedly: "Then wouldn't that be able to save your father?"

Gao Youyao looked at Lv Fang with a complex expression and said: "Young Master Fang, name your price; I will buy this Haoran Zhengqi Pill."

Lv Fang waved his hand: "It's not necessarily true. Let Master Gao take it and try. We can talk about the price later."

If the person was saved, the money could still be asked for.

But if the person wasn't saved, Lv Fang didn't intend to ask for it. After all, it was a pill he took out on his own initiative, and doing so would make it seem like he was bullying orphans and widows.

Gao Youyao looked at Lv Fang with new eyes and nodded with a smile: "Rest assured, no matter what, our Gao family will repay you."

Subsequently, Gao Youyao put the Haoran Zhengqi Pill into Master Gao's mouth. In an instant, cyan Haoran Zhengqi surged out from his body.

Wu Feng said excitedly: "It melts in the mouth, and a large amount of Haoran Zhengqi surged out. It won't be wrong; this is a Third Rank Haoran Zhengqi Pill."

Just a moment's effort.

Master Gao's somewhat pale face became visibly ruddy, and his breathing became steady.

Master Gao slowly opened his eyes: "I'm a bit hungry."

Lady Liu said excitedly: "Master, you finally woke up. I'll go and have the kitchen make some food and bring it over."

In the guest room.

Lv Fang played with the brush in his hand and muttered to himself: "Was Master Gao poisoned? Could it really be the Zheng family?"

While thinking.

Xue'er carried a food box and walked in. She smiled: "Young Master Fang, you must be hungry. I brought you chicken soup and wine and dishes. This time, thanks to you, the master was able to recover. The young miss said that she will give you the silver later."

"That's not urgent."

Lv Fang stood up, washed his hands, and started eating lunch, casually probing: "What is the character of that Magistrate Zheng's son like?"

As soon as Xue'er heard this name, she couldn't help but frown and said: "Young Master Fang, you don't know, that Zheng Youqing is very bad. He is a famous playboy in Beicheng."

"Once, when the young miss and I went out, we were blocked by him. We didn't even know him, but he spoke rudely, which made the young miss very angry."

"His character is even worse."

"After his marriage proposal to the Gao family was rejected, he actually brought people to the Gao family to make a scene and even left harsh words, saying that whoever dared to marry the young miss would be going against him."

Lv Fang nodded. From getting along with the Gao family these past two days, they were indeed not the kind of people who were unreasonable, and they weren't talking nonsense.

Looking at it this way, this Zheng Youqing was really suspicious.

Just then, a maid ran over quickly and said: "Young Master Fang, Sister Xue'er, the young miss wants you to go to the main hall."

"What's wrong? Why so urgent?"

Xue'er asked in confusion.

The maid said urgently: "Zheng Youqing sent an invitation, saying he wants the young miss to attend his grandfather's 70th birthday banquet."

Lv Fang chuckled. It seemed that this Zheng Youqing finally couldn't hold back anymore and was going to show his fox tail. It's just that, wouldn't it be fine not to go? Why did he want them to go? Could it be that she wanted to go to the banquet?

Two days later.

Inside a moving carriage.

"This time going to the banquet, you must stay by my side at all times. With Master Wu here, and the powerful people of Beicheng, Zheng Youqing won't go too far."

Gao Youyao in the carriage instructed.

Lv Fang nodded and said: "I'm also quite curious. This Zheng Youqing actually mentioned in the invitation that he knows who poisoned Master Gao."

Gao Youyao sneered: "Who else could have poisoned him? It must be this Zheng Youqing. When the time comes, I will use the Image-Recording Talisman to record his face and must sue him and the Zheng family down."

If the Gao family wants to survive, they must take the initiative; otherwise, they will only be forced into a dead end. This poisoning, what will they do next time?

No one dared to say.

It didn't take long.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the county government courtyard. Holding a birthday banquet in the county government, it was truly magnificent; carriages were parked everywhere.

Although there was no explicit regulation that birthday banquets could not be held in the county government.

But basically, when a county official's relatives have a birthday, they wouldn't be so ostentatious. The Zheng family holding a birthday banquet so blatantly, there was only one possibility: the Zheng family wanted to establish prestige in Beicheng, or they were too complacent.

"Miss Gao, you're here. It's been a while since we last met. I heard Master Gao contracted a strange illness. Look, you've become quite haggard."

A greasy-faced young man greeted them and was about to lean toward Gao Youyao without any distance.

Gao Youyao frowned and took a step back, keeping a certain distance from Zheng Youqing: "Young Master Zheng, I heard you know who poisoned my father?"

Zheng Youqing grinned and said: "I heard about this matter too, and I just happened to get the antidote here. If Miss Gao is interested, let's find a place to talk in detail later."

"Who is this?"

He looked at Lv Fang.

Before Lv Fang could speak, Gao Youyao said: "This is my husband; we are already engaged. I hope Young Master Zheng will pay attention to his words in the future. It's good for you, and it's good for us."

Zheng Youqing's face sank, and he stared at Lv Fang: "Boy, it seems you are not from Beicheng."

Lv Fang smiled and nodded: "Young Master Zheng, I'm also curious how you know Master Gao was poisoned, and not a strange illness? You now say you have the antidote; could it be that you had someone poison him?"

Zheng Youqing snorted: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lv Fang smiled gently: "Young Master Zheng, don't be nervous. I'm just joking. Look at how ugly your face is. Those who don't know might really think you are the mastermind behind the scenes."

"I hope you can have a wonderful banquet."

Zheng Youqing smiled without warmth. He glanced at Wu Feng beside him, snorted, turned, and left: "There are too many people attending the banquet; please forgive me for not being able to entertain you."

After Lv Fang and his party left.

Zheng Youqing gritted his teeth in hatred and said viciously: "Damn Gao family! They would rather find a random idiot than bow their heads to me. Hmph! Truly not knowing what's good for them. Do they really think I can't deal with your Gao family?"

The accompanying servant said: "Young master, should we take this opportunity to teach that scholar a lesson?"

Zheng Youqing was silent. His father told him to keep a low profile; even if he wanted to deal with the Gao family, he should do it secretly to avoid giving people a handle.

It was because of this that he had someone poison him.

But now it seemed it might not be useful. This Gao Youyao was fundamentally impossible to be willing to marry him, and she wouldn't hand over the Gao family's business to him, so he couldn't be blamed.

Thinking of this, Zheng Youqing said in a deep voice: "When the banquet progresses to the end, I will find an opportunity to trick Gao Youyao out. By then, that high-rank martial artist will definitely follow. You go and tell Supplying Ruan to take action and subdue that martial artist."

"As for that scholar, tie him up for me; I want to teach him the lesson of how to be a person."

"In Beicheng, there has never been anything my Gao family wanted that couldn't be done. If the soft approach doesn't work, then we'll come hard." ===== CHAPTER 106 =====
