588 Really thrilling
Liang Yulin knew what she meant the moment he heard her words.
He turned to look at Madam Tu with a profound look.
“Of course I have the evidence. Those women with ill intentions have been taken away by my secret guards for interrogation and imprisonment.
“Madam Tu, do you and your son want to see them?”
Madam Tu and Tu Lihuan’s expressions changed again.
Especially Madam Tu, whose face turned pale at Prince Yi’s question.
She wanted to find a hole to hide immediately.
She really didn’t expect that just by instructing her son to find a few women to get close to Xiao Hanzheng, Prince Yi would be alerted to investigate it.
Since Prince Yi said so, he must have clear evidence.
No wonder Shi Qingluo knew about this.
She had heard from her husband before that although Prince Yi looked calm and relaxed, he was ruthless behind his back.
Even Prince Jin was afraid of him.
Under usual circumstances, he would not take the initiative to provoke him.
Now, Prince Yi was asking her if she wanted to meet those women.
What did he mean?
Did he also want to take her away for interrogation?
She didn’t know how to answer the question.
Therefore, she could only look to Master Tu for help.
Master Tu really didn’t know about this.
After all, he couldn’t keep an eye on his wife and son all the time.
His wife and son used to be very cautious and reliable.
This time, they had suddenly slipped.
They had underestimated their enemy.
Just as he was about to speak and find an excuse to help his wife and son fool Prince Yi, he saw Prince Jin shake his head slightly at him.
Liang Yujun was silently cursing Madam Tu and her son for being stupid.
For Shi Qingluo to make Xiao Hanzheng pamper her only, she must have had some tricks up her sleeve.
How could she be willing to let a woman snatch her husband away?
By doing this, weren’t they stepping on Shi Qingluo’s bottom line and attacking her sore spot?
No wonder Shi Qingluo had been so direct in targeting Madam Tu in public.
He was aware that Shi Qingluo was not as arrogant and despotic as he imagined.
The reason why he told Master Tu not to be implicated was that he wanted this problem to remain as a conflict between women.
If Master Tu was involved, his disgraceful brother and Xiao Hanzheng would definitely turn around and target Master Tu, and they might even do something behind his back.
The Tu family was still very useful to him, and he could not allow these people to join forces and destroy them.
Seeing Prince Jin shake his head, Master Tu swallowed his words and shook his head at Madam Tu.
Seeing this, Madam Tu’s heart turned cold.
She could only brace herself and say, “I won’t be meeting those people. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness.”
Liang Yulin raised an eyebrow. “Don’t think too highly of yourself in the future. Don’t do such things behind other people’s backs either. Otherwise, don’t complain. You deserve to be targeted.”
He really disliked Madam Tu.
Not only did she want to harm his eldest daughter, but she also wanted to distance his eldest son’s relationship with his daughter-in-law.
She simply did not know her limits.
What could Madam Tu say? She could only lower her head and say, “Your Royal Highness is right.”
This was the same as admitting that those women were arranged by her and her son.
She had no choice but to acknowledge it.
After all, he was a prince.
The Tu family was nothing in comparison to the capital’s first-class aristocratic families, let alone the most respected and powerful prince in Daliang.
Madam Tu was used to using her power to oppress others, and now that she was suddenly being suppressed by it, she didn’t feel good.
Now she was even humiliated in public.
After today’s incident, she didn’t dare imagine how those at the scene would spread today’s incident after they left.
How was she going to live in the future?
She clenched her fists tightly, her hatred for Shi Qingluo had reached its peak.
If it wasn’t for this wretched girl, she wouldn’t have been so embarrassed.
Madam Tu’s resentment was visible to Shi Qingluo, but it didn’t matter.
Why should others accept their fate and allow Madam Tu and her son to scheme against them?
Who didn’t know how to use power to oppress others?
Shi Qingluo was in a good mood after accomplishing her first goal today.
She then took another jar of wine from the manservant’s hand and said, “In addition to the peach wine, I also brewed Osmanthus wine, lotus wine, pear wine, and chrysanthemum wine.
“I’ll treat everyone for today’s wine tasting.
“After tasting the flower wine, please try the fruit wine: green plum wine, grape wine, mulberry wine, pomegranate wine, hawthorn wine, and apple wine.
“After drinking them, let’s have the specialty wine. There are white wine and bamboo leaf green wine.”
Shi Qingluo’s words stunned everyone present. There were actually so many different types of wine?
Just the flower and fruit wine already had so many variations.
And what was white wine? Was it the turbid wine that they usually drank?
What about the bamboo leaf green wine? Could it be that it was brewed with bamboo leaves?
Following that, everyone returned their wine glass.
Shi Qingluo had her people brought in new transparent glasses and filled it with Osmanthus wine.
The previous ones were quickly washed so that they could be rotated for subsequent uses.
After everyone had tasted the flower wine and fruit wine, they all looked at Shi Qingluo, waiting for her to speak in the spotlight.
They were also shocked by the wine they had just drunk.
Be it the flower wine or fruit wine, they both had their own characteristics and tasted extremely good.
Those present were all influential people in Northern City, and they had all drunk the flower and fruit wine brewed by the Tu family most of the time.
They used to think that it was pretty good, but now, when compared to today’s, it was like a firefly competing for its’ luminosity with the bright moon.
The flower wine brewed by Madam Tu was the so-called best in Northern City.
However, when compared to Shi Qingluo’s flower wine, be it in terms of color or taste, it was vastly inferior and could not withstand any comparison.
In the future, it would be better not to mention this supposedly number one wine in Northern City.
It would be too embarrassing.
Another batch of maids appeared with trays.
This time, the cups were not transparent glass cups but blue and white porcelain wine cups.
A servant boy also carried another wine jar up.
“This is the white wine I brewed. Please try it.”
This time, there was dedicated staffs to pour the wine and serve everyone.
“This has a high alcohol content. The taste is more suitable for men, and it’s easy to get drunk.
“Madams and young ladies are more suited for flower wine and fruit wine. If you don’t like white wine, you don’t have to force yourself.”
She preferred flower wine and fruit wine.
As Daliang did not have any distillation technology, their wine had low alcohol concentration.
Therefore, none of them had ever drunk the high-concentration white wine she brewed.
After hearing what she said, the others were curious about the white wine.
After the wine was served, everyone took a sip of it.
Those who usually didn’t like to drink, or the madams and young ladies, had a change in expression after taking a sip.
Some people couldn’t stand the smell of the wine and hurriedly put food in their mouths.
As for those who usually liked to drink, their eyes would light up after drinking it.
“Good wine!” A general couldn’t help but exclaim.
One of the patriarchs who usually drank a cup every day said, “Clear and sweet, soft and mellow, with a long tingly finish. It’s indeed a good wine.”
Prince Jin also liked to drink, especially when the weather was cold.
Almost every day, he would ask his maidservant to pour wine for him.
Moreover, he was a martial arts practitioner, so he immediately fell in love with the white wine.
“This white wine is strong enough,” he said.
All the martial artists present, including Xiao Yuanshi, wanted to have the same experience.
To them, drinking flower wine and fruit wine was no different than drinking for fun.
But this type of white wine was different. It was really thrilling to drink it.
