"Okay, I will open the wine now," Shang Jin said very respectfully to Feng Jiao, "The dishes haven't arrived yet, so let's open the wine and let it breathe a bit. When it's time to eat, I will personally pour it for you. Does that sound good to you?"
Feng Jiao nodded satisfied, "Alright, let's drink the wine when we eat."
They were sitting at a round table, and Shang Jin's seat was arranged quite far from Feng Jiao because Feng Jiao was the one hosting the dinner tonight, so he had arranged the seating. He placed Tan Rou, Zhuang Liu, and Tao Zhi close to himself, while the others were arranged more randomly.
This provided Shang Jin with the opportunity to add the laxative, and while Feng Jiao was talking to someone else, she quietly opened the bottle, then reached into her pocket for the powder. She dropped the powder into the bottle, gently shook it a few times to make sure the powder fully dissolved in the liquid, and then put the bottle aside.
