Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 746: Chapter 739: Low-Level Tactics

Sisi could figure out what was in the wine with her eyes closed; it was nothing more than an aphrodisiac. Xu Jiaojiao didn’t have the guts for poison, and a sedative might draw attention, but an aphrodisiac wouldn’t be noticed and could thoroughly humiliate her.

Imagine if she, He Sisi, couldn’t resist the effects of the drug at the birthday banquet, ending up in a compromising situation with a man, and then Xu Jiaojiao arranged for some guests to "accidentally" catch them. Wouldn’t that be a major scandal in the Capital City?

Though this trick had been used a million times, its effectiveness mattered more than novelty. Without her keen sense, she might have fallen into the trap easily!

Since the Seventh Madam went to such trouble, she had to play along and see how this drama unfolded!

Her red lips slightly pursed, she glanced over at Xu Jiaojiao, who was also observing her. Seeing Sisi looking her way, Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes flickered, as if she didn’t dare to meet Sisi’s gaze.

Sisi sneered internally, thinking, "You want to do bad things with that little courage?"

"Compared to your sister-in-law next to you, you’re miles behind!"

Sisi curled her lips into a faint smile, raised her wine glass to greet Xu Jiaojiao, and took a sip first. The bright red liquid flowed into Sisi’s mouth, though she didn’t drink at all—it was just for show.

Seeing Sisi’s throat move as if she swallowed, Xu Jiaojiao was relieved and displayed a radiant smile as she also sipped her wine.

Sisi, holding her wine glass, walked up to Wan Yun, smiling warmly. "Ms. Wan, you are truly capable, managing not only your own family affairs meticulously but also handling your sister-in-law’s family matters effortlessly!"

Wan Yun didn’t twitch a brow at Sisi’s provocation, responding gently, "Ms. He, you overpraise me. It’s merely helping out between relatives, that’s all."

Sisi noticed the gloom in Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes and immediately felt joyful. If even such blatant instigation couldn’t be detected, she truly was a pig!

Suddenly, she felt a bit of sympathy for Wan Yun. Dealing with such a clueless teammate must be exhausting, right?

Wan Yun also noticed her sister-in-law’s expression and felt furious inside, wanting to curse. "This fool, if she weren’t so hopelessly incapable, would I, Wan Yun, have nothing better to do than meddle in your Xu family’s affairs?"

"Straighten up and hold your face, deal with it at home if you must!" Wan Yun turned and whispered a warning in Xu Jiaojiao’s ear.

While the two were whispering, Sisi deftly flicked two colorless, odorless powders into each of their wine glasses. The powders dissolved into the wine quickly, disappearing from sight.

"Today is indeed a rare and good day. Let’s have a toast for Madam Xu, wishing her longevity!"

Sisi raised her wine glass, clinked it with Wan Yun and Xu Jiaojiao’s glasses, and promptly drained her wine in one gulp, showing the empty glass to them afterward.

Wan Yun cursed Sisi inwardly for being cunning. Sisi, who proposed the toast, finished her drink first; as the semi-host, how could she not finish hers?

With no choice, she downed her drink in one gulp, as did Xu Jiaojiao.

Sisi’s smile grew brighter. "You two sure can hold your liquor. Please excuse me!"

She turned and left. Earlier, she had slipped an aphrodisiac from the Space into their glasses. The dosage was such that even a bull would go wild!

Taking another glass of wine from a passing server, she glanced back to smile charmingly at Xu Jiaojiao and Wan Yun.

Earlier, she hadn’t drunk the wine; it was stored in the Space!

But Wan Yun and Xu Jiaojiao had drunk theirs. She began counting down in her mind: ten, nine, ... two, one. As expected, it wasn’t even five minutes before Xu Jiaojiao started feeling unwell. Although Wan Yun managed to remain composed, her tensed body and furrowed brows suggested she wouldn’t last long.

"Sister-in-law, it’s so hot. I didn’t expect the wine to have such a delayed effect," Xu Jiaojiao muttered, feeling unbearable heat all over, craving something cool to embrace.

Wan Yun was feeling similarly, though she normally would’ve sensed ordinary aphrodisiacs. However, the type Sisi used differed significantly from those on the market, resulting in a different reaction. Therefore, she assumed it was just a side effect of drinking too quickly.

"I need to splash some cold water on my face in the bathroom. This heat is unbearable. It’s all He Sisi’s fault for plying us with alcohol as soon as she arrived."

Saying this, Xu Jiaojiao hurried to the bathroom, having forgotten her previous arrangements in her heat-induced haze.

Wan Yun was also overwhelmed with heat, her cheeks flushed blood-red. Surprised guests stared, prompting her to excuse herself and hurriedly head to the bathroom as well.

Sisi smiled in satisfaction, set down her wine glass, lifted her skirt, and feigned heat exhaustion, following them.

The show was about to commence!

Two servants watching Sisi head toward the bathroom caught each other’s eyes and discreetly left.

In the dimly lit hall filled with people, the absence of two servants went unnoticed by everyone. Sisi glanced back, spotting the two shadowy figures, and smirked. Originally hesitant, Xu Jiaojiao’s earlier actions had provoked her enough to settle the score.

Hiding in the shadows, the two servants reached the spot but couldn’t find Sisi. Anxious, they looked around.

Young Master Xu had instructed them, saying this was a task for the Jins. Just deal with the woman, and each would receive twenty thousand!

For twenty thousand, they’d even go after a sow!

More so for such a charming beauty!

The two greedy men didn’t care about Sisi’s identity. After all, they knew the Jins’ background. With their support, what was there to fear about offending someone?

Sisi, hidden in the shadows, smirked and emerged suddenly, rushing towards the bathroom as if in dire need.

The two men exchanged sly smiles and hurried after her.

Sisi pushed open the bathroom door, revealing Wan Yun and Xu Jiaojiao drenched from head to toe. The soaked dresses clung to their bodies, revealing curves that were quite alluring.

"It’s so hot and uncomfortable!" Xu Jiaojiao poured cold water over herself repeatedly, barely responding to Sisi’s entrance, showing signs of delirium.

Wan Yun, though similarly overheated, retained her composure better. Witnessing the blood trickling from her mouth, Sisi couldn’t help but admire her.

Wan Yun must have bitten her tongue to maintain clarity.

What a woman, so ruthless to herself!

"He Sisi, did you do something to us?" Wan Yun bit her tongue again, the pain clearing her mind momentarily.

Sisi shrugged innocently. "You should ask your dear sister-in-law. I simply returned the favor!"

Hearing this, Wan Yun understood immediately, blood rushing to her head, causing the inner heat to churn again, her senses blurring.

"They’re inside. Let’s go quickly!" a man’s voice called from outside.

Wan Yun’s face turned pale, unable to believe what she saw in Sisi.
