Chapter 330: Alcohol Poisoning

It was actually quite disheartening.

But as servants, we dared not interfere in the master’s affairs.

There were no low-alcohol options in the wine cellar, so I had no choice but to take up five bottles first, planning to stand guard outside the eldest young master’s room later that evening so I could be of help if anything happened.

But by late night, I couldn’t hold up and leaned against the wall, falling asleep.

Mo Tingshen came out of his room, glanced indifferently without waking anyone, and went to the wine cellar himself to fetch more wine.

When he came out, he summoned two servants to follow him upstairs and carry the one at the door of the room back to rest.

He drank heavily all night, and by morning, when a servant came to wake him, Mo Tingshen was found lying on the carpet with seven or eight empty bottles around him, his body frighteningly hot, scaring the servant who quickly carried him back to bed and hurried to call a doctor.

Upon hearing the news, Mo Suizhi hurried over; he had spent the previous night sleeping in the guest room next to Chu Yao’s.

Just as Chu Yao opened her door, their eyes met.

Chu Yao leaned on the door frame, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her lips pursed impatiently, “What’s all this noise so early in the morning?”

“Big brother has alcohol poisoning, I’m going to check on him.”

He didn’t linger to talk to Chu Yao and left in a hurry after saying a few words.

Chu Yao still leaned on the door as several servants downstairs were leading the doctor in, passing by her, greeting her as the second young lady if they saw her or walking right past if they didn’t.

It was a complete mess, as if the sky had fallen.

“Is that so?” Chu Yao muttered to herself, “Poisoned, huh?”

Her tone was low, and only by listening closely could one detect the laughter in her voice.

She went back to her room to wash up and then went downstairs to have breakfast.

In the vast dining room where she was alone, she didn’t ask for service and made herself very comfortable, even making herself a cup of coffee, though the sugar cubes weren’t in their usual place.

Chu Yao searched for a good while until she found them in a small refrigerator deep inside the kitchen.

She took two cubes and returned to the dining room, her gaze sharply intensified.

Mo Li was sitting at the dining table.

Sitting in the very spot she had just occupied, using her utensils to eat.

Chu Yao’s face instantly turned cold, her gaze stabbing at him coldly.

“Your hand-ground coffee?”

Mo Li ordered, “Make me a cup too.”

Drawing a deep breath from within her chest, Chu Yao’s face regained its calm in an instant.

She placed the sugar cubes into her coffee, picked it up, and as she passed by Mo Li, she lifted the plate in front of him high over his head.

Her expression was cold and proud, her eyes not even sparing a glancing flicker towards his face.

The plate shattered at his feet.

Chu Yao left without turning back.

Mo Li didn’t look back either, still holding the fork and knife she had used, the corner of his mouth curling into a sly smirk.

After the doctor had finished examining Mo Tingshen and left medicine, Mo Suizhi escorted him downstairs.

Just as the two came out of the elevator, Chu Yao happened to be nearby and overheard the doctor’s words, “It’s not alcohol poisoning, but the eldest young master once had his stomach perforated from excessive drinking.

He has been very restrained over the years, only sipping a mouthful or two on necessary occasions.

Why did he drink so much last night?”

Mo Suizhi couldn’t explain either, only asking, “Will it affect him?”

“The impact is not too severe, nor is it minimal.

Take good care of him, and he should avoid alcohol and eat more bland, stomach-nourishing foods for the time being.

I’ll leave a diet therapy list; just have the kitchen follow it.”

The doctor handed the list to Mo Suizhi, adding a final reminder, “Second young master, please urge the eldest young master to take care.

His stomach really can’t handle much more.”

Mo Suizhi’s expression was grave as he pursed his lips forcefully, “Understood.

I’ll urge him.”
