Without giving Sheng Kaiwei and his companions any chance to express their stance, Ning Wei directly dragged them into it.
In this situation, they couldn't directly stand up and expose Ning Wei's hidden agenda.
Ning Wei's words precisely hit Wu Qing's thoughts. Her gaze toward Ning Wei deepened, a small spark of anticipation flickering in her eyes.
"How about it? Are you satisfied with this deal?"
Although Wu Qing was very pleased, her expression remained haughty. She glanced at the wound on Song Zhi and said dismissively, "Fine, considering how deep his wound is, I, as the steward, cannot just stand by and do nothing."
She clapped her hands, and immediately a maid brought over a first-aid kit.
Zhu Yilian took the medical kit. It contained basic medical supplies like alcohol and gauze, but she couldn't find the special medicine Ning Wei had mentioned.
She looked at Ning Wei, understanding her meaning without a word.
Ning Wei got up, walked over, and directly took everything out of the medical kit, placing it on the table. Among them were several glass bottles containing small pills of various colors.
Unsure of their effects, she dared not give them to Song Zhi randomly.
"Are we playing a guessing game again?" Ning Wei looked at Wu Qing, her expression neither angry nor anything else.
Wu Qing replied with a poker face, "Although it's a deal, if I hand over the special medicine so easily, I'll be at a disadvantage. Aren't you very smart? Why don't you guess which color pill is the special medicine for healing wounds?"
"However, I'd like to give you a friendly reminder: among these, there are not only good medicines for healing but also poison that stops bleeding on contact with blood." As she said this, a hint of excitement appeared on Wu Qing's face.
While she admired Ning Wei's abilities, over the long years, her initial expectations had been worn away by time.
Even if there was a spark of hope in her heart, it couldn't compare to the exhilarating feeling of witnessing Ning Wei harm her own teammates, the pain and grief she would experience.
Rather than freeing herself, she longed to see others suffer.
It could only be said that Wu Qing had become psychologically twisted.
Facing Wu Qing's provocation and her fickle nature that could change her mind faster than flipping a book, Ning Wei was not surprised.
She began to bend down and carefully examine the glass bottles in front of her.
Everyone else also looked over curiously, whispering to each other occasionally, offering Ning Wei completely unreliable suggestions.
Song Zhi appeared resigned. He waved his hand grandly at Ning Wei and said, "Don't feel pressured. Whether you choose poison or the special medicine for me, I'll take it with my eyes closed!"
Seeing his willingness to face death, Ning Wei couldn't help but roll her eyes.
She pushed Song Zhi away in disdain, "Where did the spirit you had fighting the werewolves go? Is your planned ending to be poisoned to death by me?"
Teacher Mei leaned over to manage the situation. "Everyone, please be quiet and let Ning Wei think carefully."
Seeing Ning Wei's impatience, everyone stopped speaking.
If they gave the wrong advice and caused Song Zhi's death, Ning Wei might go mad and kill them all.
Although Ning Wei didn't seem like such a violent person, they had that feeling from her eyes.
This was a rare scene. Wu Qing also looked over curiously, and even the maids serving them had a hint of inquiry on their gentle faces.
There were seven glass bottles in front of Ning Wei, containing pills of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, resembling a rainbow.
The pills were not large, about the size of sheep droppings. If you haven't seen sheep droppings, it's fine; they are like the pearls in bubble tea, just in different colors.
Ning Wei looked at Song Zhi very seriously. "Why don't you just eat them all?"
Song Zhi swallowed. He wasn't afraid of taking medicine, but if he ate all seven bottles, would he not need to eat anymore?
It seemed he was overthinking. If he really ate poison, he wouldn't need to worry about meals anymore.
"Are you serious?" Song Zhi couldn't help but confirm with Ning Wei again.
If Ning Wei nodded, he would dare to eat them all.
Ning Wei nodded emphatically and pushed all the glass bottles towards Song Zhi. "Please."
Meeting Ning Wei's gaze, Song Zhi casually picked up a bottle of a certain color, opened it, and was about to pour it into his mouth.
"Wait a moment!" Ning Wei suddenly spoke again, stopping him.
Song Zhi looked over, confused. Ning Wei then asked a maid to prepare a large cup of water. "I'm afraid he'll choke to death before he's poisoned. It's better to prepare more, as there are still several bottles here."
Her sudden behavior made everyone think she had something good to say, but it turned out to be just this...
The maid obediently brought a large cup of warm water. Ning Wei took it and placed it in front of Song Zhi. "Now you can eat."
Song Zhi continued his previous action. Just as he was about to put the first pill into his mouth, Tang Tang suddenly reached out and stopped him.
Everyone's gaze shifted to her again, silently asking what she was doing.
Tang Tang explained in a low voice, "The red one looks like poison. Shall we try a different color?"
"What do you think?" Ning Wei asked Song Zhi.
Song Zhi looked dazed. He didn't think there was any difference. He had to eat them anyway. "I'm fine with anything."
"Alright then," Ning Wei took back the red pill and personally placed a green pill in his hand. "If you want to get by, life always needs a little green. Green brings peace. Eat this."
She said it earnestly, as if it were the truth.
Although Ning Wei was talking nonsense, Song Zhi was very cooperative. He took the green pill and began to eat it.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, he swallowed the first green pill.
Ning Wei secretly observed Wu Qing's expression. She watched this farce with a half-smile, as if everything happening here had nothing to do with her.
Next, Song Zhi picked up the red pill himself and explained to everyone, "Since I have to eat them sooner or later, there's no need to overthink it."
At this moment, Ning Wei noticed Wu Qing's eyebrows twitch slightly.
"Wait a moment!" Ning Wei tilted her head and asked Song Zhi, "Does this medicine taste bad?"
"It's okay."
"Then let's cut the Gordian knot and eat them all at once." As Ning Wei spoke, she poured the pills from all seven bottles into her palm.
She believed that as a grown man, Song Zhi could eat this amount of medicine in one go.
When Ning Wei made this move, she noticed Wu Qing's sleeve move, unsure if she wanted to stop her or genuinely wanted to hit her.
Song Zhi trusted Ning Wei completely. Whichever one she told him to eat, he would eat. However she told him to eat it, he would eat it that way.
Looking at the handful of colorful pills in Song Zhi's hand, Sheng Kaiwei's team members began to pity him.
They used to think that following a capable woman like Ning Wei was very fortunate, but now it seemed that Ning Wei was also quite troublesome.
