Of course, they would not be able to find the person who drugged them so quickly. At the very least, they had to determine what it was that had been spiked. Then, they would follow the clues to find the person. They had already planned to be busy for the entire night.
Tang Ye even started packing up the things that Jiang An had come into contact with. He wanted to check them one by one to see if there were any drugs on them. The servants of the Zhao family also knew that something big had happened and handed them over obediently.
Although Tang Ye and the others were not from the Zhao family, Miss Jiang had just been carried up. It was better not to jump out at this time. No matter what the Zou family wanted to do, they were just servants. The Zhao family would not stand up for them even if they were taught a lesson.
Just as the secret guards were busy nervously, Zou Er noticed Chen Xiang sneaking around in the corner. Thinking of her infatuation with his master previously, he felt that something was wrong.
However, she was the Zou family’s savior after all. Zou Er could not directly capture her. He could only instruct his subordinates to check on the servants who had handled the food and hint that they already knew that Chen Xiang had done it.
Originally, the servant who delivered the wine was already afraid. She did not expect such a huge commotion. In addition, the other servants around her were adding to the atmosphere. They kept talking about how powerful the Zou family was. The Zhao family could not compare at all. They even said that Zou Bai killed people overseas like flies.
She was so frightened that she trembled and began to regret helping Chen Xiang. If she was found out, she would definitely die.
Her panic must have attracted the attention of the secret guards. They walked up to them and said, “Whoever went to deliver the wine to Miss Jiang just now, step forward.”
Of course, no one stood up. They didn’t know why they asked this and were so frightened that they didn’t dare to move.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t say anything. Miss Chen will naturally come out to identify them.” The secret guard’s tone was cold.
The words “Miss Chen” were like a curse that scared the person who delivered the wine to the ground. She kept saying, “I didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
There was no need to ask anymore. He could just take her away.
This servant did this for money. She wouldn’t bother to cover up for Chen Xiang. He just needed to scare her to tell him everything. She even said that Chen Xiang wanted to get close to Zou Bai.
Zou Er didn’t dare to delay and quickly went upstairs to knock on the door. When he heard him say this, Zou Bai patted Jiang An. “Wait for me. I’ll be right back.”
With that pill, Jiang An no longer felt so uncomfortable. She nodded and said, “Go.”
Zou Bai opened the door and wanted to leave, but he was stopped by Zou Er. “Master, don’t move first. Chen Xiang is staring at us. She thinks that she’s fed you the medicine.”
Zou Bai immediately understood what Chen Xiang wanted to do and said, “Then let’s beat her at her own game.”
While Jiang An could still control herself, Zou Bai instructed Zou Er to do as he said.
Zou Er leaned over and nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do it well.”
In Chen Xiang’s eyes, it was a group of people rushing downstairs and asking the maids questions non-stop. She could not hide the anxiety on her face.
Zou Yi pretended not to see Chen Xiang. “What should we do? If this continues, Master won’t be able to take it.”
“But you can’t just drag someone down like that. If Master finds out, he’ll definitely beat us to death,” Zou Er helped to say.
Zou Yi continued, “Even so, we can’t wait. Miss Jiang won’t be able to come back in time.”
“Let’s ask if anyone is willing,” Zou Er said as he leaned towards Chen Xiang.
Chen Xiang naturally thought that Zou Bai couldn’t withstand the drug anymore, so he was looking for someone who was willing to help him dissipate the drug. She definitely couldn’t miss this opportunity.
She stepped out and asked, “What happened?”
Zou Er’s eyes lit up when he saw her. “Miss Chen, I know that you have feelings for our master. I wonder if you’re willing to help our master. This is a matter of life and death.”
“As long as Zou Bai asks for my help, I’ll definitely be willing,” Chen Xiang said with a smile.
Zou raised his hand and said, “Then please go over.”
Chen Xiang suppressed the excitement in her heart and walked up to the second floor with her head held high. When she thought about how she would be able to be with Zou Bai soon, she could not hide the smile on her face.
So what if Jiang An was going to marry Zou Bai? As long as today passed, she would be Zou Bai’s woman. This would forever be a thorn in their hearts.
It would be best if Jiang An couldn’t accept it and finally separated from Zou Bai. Then, Zou Bai would only have her by his side.
Chen Xiang didn’t notice it at all. Even if Zou Bai really drank the potion, he should have sent someone over to detoxify it immediately. Even if there was no way to detoxify it in the end, he wouldn’t casually pull people over in the Zhao family. If word got out, wouldn’t his reputation be ruined?
To be able to trick Chen Xiang with such crude words, it could be seen how much she hoped for Zou Bai to be with her.
