How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 55: At the Banquet, Pei Shu’er Maneuvers to Save Her Mother-in-Law

Pei Shu’er quietly poured the drug into two jars of wine, then stood up with a smile.

She walked over to the leaders, perfectly capturing the demeanor of a sycophant.

"Big Master, Second Master, Third Master, beauties need fine wine to enhance the mood. Shall I pour for everyone?"

The Big Master nodded, raising his bowl first, and Pei Shu’er immediately filled it to ensure he wouldn’t be able to lift it tonight.

Moreover, the drug contained addictive ingredients.

It guaranteed that after one bowl, they would crave another.

In the end, they would just blame it on drinking too much, and she’d have no suspicion.

Pei Shu’er smiled as she approached the Second Master, whose eyes were glued to Liu Xu and Tang Qingning.

Seizing the opportunity, Pei Shu’er poured the Second Master a bowl and discreetly added a bit more drug while he was distracted.

This ensured he would be incapacitated.

Next, Pei Shu’er moved to the Third Master, who looked at her and slowly shook his head, "I don’t need any."

Pei Shu’er nodded with a smile and proceeded to pour a bowl for the other bandits, going around the entire group.

The Big Master again said, "Pour more wine."

Pei Shu’er quickly poured another round, and to prevent herself from getting dizzy, she drank a little Spiritual Spring Water.

Tang Zan had an inkling of Pei Shu’er’s plan, but he feared that the men, after drinking, would be even more roused.

Pei Shu’er poured several rounds, and some of them were already drunk and clamoring for more.

Tang Zan raised an eyebrow. Normally, they would only drink a few bowls to conduct business.

But these men had already consumed several pounds and still wanted to drink more.

Something was strange about the wine.

The bandits who had brought people in seemed anxious, as they hadn’t eaten yet.

Fearing these men would ruin things, Pei Shu’er cheerfully handed them bowls and filled them with wine.

"Brothers, it’s cold. Have some wine to warm up and lift your spirits, right?"

After everyone had been drinking for a while, they seemed to forget about the women.

Pei Shu’er breathed a sigh of relief while Tang Zan watched her in surprise, and Pei Shu’er gave him a reassuring look.

Tang Zan decided to ask Pei Shu’er later.

Just then, the already tipsy Second Master suddenly spoke up.

"Bring the War Princess here to me."

Liu Xu’s face turned pale, swaying as if she was about to faint.

Pei Shu’er inwardly cursed her miscalculation, as even if the Second Master was impotent,

he would likely humiliate Liu Xu by stripping her, only to realize his impotence afterward.

As the bandits moved to bring Liu Xu forward, Tang Zan rose, his face menacing, his murderous aura almost tangible.

Fortunately, most present were drunk, or Tang Zan would have drawn attention.

As Tang Zan was about to step out, Pei Shu’er grabbed his wrist.

"I have a plan."

Tang Zan looked at her, his eyes still partially filled with a killing intent that made Pei Shu’er’s heart skip a beat, feeling as if she’d fallen into an ice cave.

Her hand instinctively tightened, then quickly released.

Tang Zan looked down at Pei Shu’er’s eyes, seeing her confident gaze, he nodded.

Pei Shu’er smiled, carrying a wine jar over, handing it to one of the bandits.

"Here, brother, this is a fine brew, you know what to do later."

The bandit’s eyes lit up, and he took a deep whiff from the jar, looking intoxicated.

Seizing the moment, Pei Shu’er pulled Liu Xu over, who felt despair seeing the short skinny bandit.

Her son and daughter-in-law had fallen down the slope, otherwise she could have hoped for their rescue.

Yet, she also hoped they wouldn’t come, fearing the many people here would overwhelm them, possibly costing their lives.

Rather than that, she thought dying alone would be better.

She had resolved that if there was no other way, she would dash herself against a pillar to maintain her honor.

She couldn’t let the War King be shamed.

But she was also reluctant to leave her children behind; what would they do without her?

Liu Xu clenched her teeth, and as the bandit reached for her, she swatted his hand away.

"I can walk myself."

Pei Shu’er sighed, knowing everyone’s eyes were on them.

She coldly laughed, twisting Liu Xu’s arm behind her back, speaking sharply.

"Oh, the War Princess sure is fierce."

Just as Liu Xu was about to retort in humiliation,

she heard Pei Shu’er whisper, "Mother, take this."

Liu Xu’s shock was palpable.

Pei Shu’er, Pei Shu’er was actually here?

She quickly looked at the bandit, noting his lecherously grotesque face, a stark contrast to the lovely Pei Shu’er.

If this person truly was Pei Shu’er, then her daughter-in-law’s disguise skills were astounding.

She suspected she had misheard, but then saw the bandit slip a sachet into her hand, a faint aroma lingering around her.

Staring blankly at the bandit before her, she heard Pei Shu’er speak again.

"Mother, don’t be afraid, I have a way."

Joy flickered in Liu Xu’s eyes, but then deeper despair settled in, realizing her daughter-in-law had come, which might lead to them being caught all at once.

Using a gruff voice, Pei Shu’er sneered, "What are you staring at? Get moving, or I’ll flay you for making the Master wait."

Nobody doubted Pei Shu’er’s words, as it was just what that bandit might say.

Tang Qingning cried and cursed below, adding to the chaos.

Pei Shu’er feared these bandits would kill Tang Qingning in anger.

Fortunately, the bandits were used to such insults and simply laughed in pride.

Pei Shu’er brought Liu Xu to the Second Master.

The Second Master leered at Liu Xu, preparing to take advantage.

Despair settled on Liu Xu, as she couldn’t imagine how Pei Shu’er could have a plan amidst so many people.

But just as the Second Master was about to approach Liu Xu, he suddenly looked nauseous, as if about to vomit.

Pei Shu’er immediately fetched a large basin to catch it.

The Second Master retched repeatedly, still feeling queasy, looking as if he wanted to vomit more.

Pei Shu’er promptly said, "Big Master, Third Master, I’ll help the Second Master rest, he might have drunk too much."

The Big Master nodded, also disgusted by the scene.

He frowned, "Go ahead."

The Second Master didn’t want to leave but was half-dragged, half-carried away by Pei Shu’er.

Primarily because he felt so nauseous.

Pei Shu’er had placed sachets on both herself and Liu Xu,

which would trigger symptoms in those affected by the impotence drug, causing nausea and vomiting, along with weakness.

She supported the Second Master outside, who became increasingly dizzy, unable to stand.

Pei Shu’er quickly asked, "Second Master, where is your room? I’ll take you there."

He pointed ahead, and Pei Shu’er promptly guided him over.

Even after lying down, the Second Master still searched for a vessel to vomit, eventually falling asleep clutching a pot, still feeling nauseous in his dreams.

Pei Shu’er scanned the Second Master’s room, finding it to be typical of a lecher, without anything unusual, then closed the door and returned to the main hall.

She feared any unexpected developments.
