Chapter 80: Ginseng Tonic Wine
"Give a threat on your birthday is not nice to you." A voice interrupted.
"Yeah, it was not nice of you." Another voice spoke.
Everyone searched the source of the voices. They found them. They were a well-known businessman and honorably the highest rank officer in the military, Feng Mong and Long Fei Yi.
Together with them, the breathtaking grandson of Long Fei Yi, Long Hui walked behind them. Long Hui was eyeing Yu Qi from the moment he entered the hall. Also, Feng Yue together with the bunch of Feng Family members that Yu Qi did not know about them.
Seeing her best friend, Feng Yue ran and hugged her. It was a long time since they met. Well, it was not that long. Only 4 days. But Feng Yue missed her so much. In the beginning, she did not want to attend this birthday party with the Feng Family members. However, after hearing Yu Qi also would be attending, she agreed to participate.
"Happy birthday, Grandpa Tang." Feng Yue congrats Grandpa Tang.
"Ho, thank you, Little Yue."
"I have a present for you. I wonder you will like or not."
"What is it?"
"Grinding Stone." Feng Yue gave her present to Grandpa Tang.
Grandpa Tang opened the present. "It is a beautiful grinding stone. Little Yue, thank you."
Everyone hurriedly presented their gift to Grandpa Tang. Grandpa Tang just received them as a formality. All the guests including his own grandsons had given their present to Grandpa Tang. The only who not presented their present was Yu Qi.
Some of the guests whispered among them.
"She doesn't prepare the present for Master Tang. How unfilial."
"She is just an orphan. What gift she can give to Master Tang?"
"I bet she doesn't have money to buy the present."
"Excuse me, grandfather. I will take a moment." Yu Qi excused herself.
She left the hall. She found Steward Hang Ji Chang. She asked to borrow the trolley. Steward Hang Ji Chang quickly found what Yu Qi wanted.
She went to her room with the trolley. She put something on that trolley and covered it. She did not want other people to see it when she decided to show them. She met Tang Han Lee in a middle way back to the hall.
"Little Sis, are you okay?" Tang Han Lee worried about his little sister. He could hear some guests whispered about his little sister. He afraid his little sister offended by that. So, he came out finding her.
"I'm okay, Big Brother Han. Don't worry." She smiled assured Tang Han Lee.
"What is this?" Tang Han Lee noticed the trolley.
"Grandfather's present." Yu Qi said.
"Owh, I wonder what is it."
"You will see it later."
The two of them entered the hall back. All of the eyes were on Yu Qi. Everyone became curious when Yu Qi pushed a trolley together with her. Yu Qi ignored them and went straight to Grandpa Tang.
"Grandfather." She called.
Grandpa Tang turned to her. "Yu Qi dear, what is it?"
"Grandfather, I give my present to you." Yu Qi uncovered the thing on the trolley.
A large glass jar appeared in front of everyone. Inside that jar, big ginseng and other Chinese herbs can be seen. Also, there had a yellow liquid surrounding them.
"Yu Qi dear, this is..." Grandpa Tang approached that.
"My present to you." She smirked to Grandpa Tang.
"Traditional Chinese medical wine." Grandpa Tang's eyes were shining.
"Grandfather, I forget to tell you. Actually, I found two 1000 years old ginseng. One, I already sold it to you. And another one..." She whispered and glanced at the ginseng inside the jar.
"What? This is 1000 years old ginseng?" Grandpa Tang almost shouted when he heard about this.
'1000 years old ginseng?' Everyone was dumbfounded. They knew that Grandpa Tang was a fan of Chinese herbs himself. This must be the best present for him.
She glad when Grandpa Tang happy seeing her present. That was worth. She decided to make this tonic wine as her present to Grandpa Tang. After hearing about Grandpa Tang's birthday from Old Man Feng, she decided to make this for his birthday present.
Grandpa Tang was lingering around the glass jar looking to the ingredients in it. He nodded several times. Yu Qi smiled when watching her grandfather behaved that way. She knew he was tried to guess what kind of medical wine that she had made.
"Yu Qi dear, this is ginseng tonic wine, right?" Grandpa Tang proudly said it.
"You guess it right, grandfather? So you knew what kind the benefit that you get from it, right?" She grinned.
"Thank you, Yu Qi dear. This is the best present I got." Grandpa Tang patted her head intimately.
"We had lost." Tang Jin Wei said sighed.
"But Little Sis's present is the most suitable present to grandfather since he like herbs the most." Tang Han Lee added.
The guests who insulated her with some kind of words just hang down their heads.
"Master Jiang Man, we don't know whether this wine can benefit you or not. Better we check it first." An old age man spoke to Grandpa Tang.
Everyone looked at the person who just talked. Grandpa Tang knew who is that person. All family member of Tang Family knew that person. That person was a man that married one cousin of Grandpa Tang. The cousin was Tang Hong Lan. She was married to Ling Man. So this person could be called a distant relative.
Grandpa Tang narrowed his eyes. He never liked this person. This person was so ambitious. From what he heard from Tang Jung Wen, he wanted his granddaughter married to one of his grandsons. Well, he did not mind if his grandson like his granddaughter but this Ling Man seemed to had a different intention by married his granddaughter to his grandson. Well, he also did not like his granddaughter because she was a spoiled brat.
"You mean she might poisoning me?" Grandpa Tang said with a cold tone.
"That is possible. We cannot simply believe the outsider." Ling Man said proudly while looking down to Yu Qi.
Ling Man always thought that their family was a close relative of the Tang Family. He knew that Master Jiang Man will listen to his thought. He hated Yu Qi from the moment she had been introduced as the granddaughter of The Master of the Tang Family. This might destroy his plan to make his granddaughter became the beloved granddaughter of Master of the Tang Family. So, he wanted to plant suspicious on Yu Qi's head.
He will take the medical wine for the test. Then he will put the poison in the portion that he going to test it. When the result shows, he can get rid of Yu Qi and get the medicinal wine himself. He smiled to Yu Qi.
