"You've Had Quite a Bit--The Poison Will Take Effect in a Few Days"

Chu Shuo reacted quickly, smiling and saying, "Of course I should offer a salute. Prince of Wu'an is of noble birth, a person of great status, while I'm just a lowly merchant, making some dirty money. It's my honor to pay respects to Prince of Wu'an."

Ye Chengyan's gaze deepened. Though he didn't like the Chu family, Chu Shuo's words made him feel somewhat at ease.

Xie Beihan chimed in at the right moment, "Chu Shuo, why are you standing? Come, sit down."

With that, Chu Shuo sat beside him. Seeing this, Ye Chengyan couldn't continue making things difficult for Chu Shuo with words.

Though Chu Shuo had lowered his status with his words, it didn't mean he was afraid of trouble. His family often advised caution, but if anyone bullied them, neither his father nor his brothers would take it lying down.

So, he faced Ye Chengyan with confidence and said, "Yanyan gave me some tea--it's the hard-to-get Spring Sun Tea. Could you help me taste it and see what's so special about it?"
