Bing Lanyue did not hesitate, she obediently obeyed Matriarch and sat beside her, and started talking and laughing with him, she did not look nervous at all.

After dinner, Bing Lanyue said to everyone: "A few days ago, I read a book about people from the north drinking tea and making tea differently from ours. I then tried it myself, and felt that the taste was indeed different from ours.

Everyone was a little surprised to see Bing Lanyue, who didn't normally like to talk, take the initiative to make tea in front of everyone, but was also very happy to see the Matriarch. They all agreed and sat down together, watching Bing Lanyue take out the tools to make tea from the basket Chun Er was holding.

"This tea set of yours looks a little too crude."

Bing Lanyue wanted to respectfully call her aunt, but when she saw that Bing Lanyue had only taken out a row of large bowls, she felt a little disappointed.

"The people of the north have different personalities from the people here. They want to eat big mouthfuls of meat and drink big mouthfuls of wine, so the tea is all served in bowls."

"This bowl looks familiar. I've seen it somewhere before, but I don't think I need this bowl in the kitchen."

In the main house, Aunt Liu carefully examined the bowls, in fact, she just wanted to pat the head lady's ass.

"Because Lan Yue didn't have the time to customize a set yet wanted to let the Matriarch have a taste of the different tea, he borrowed the medicine in their medicine bowls from the Palace Physician."

Bing Lanyue laughed as she spoke, while pouring the boiling water into a bowl of tea, only to see the tea leaves inside the bowl churning up and down, emitting hot air.

She carefully scanned the expressions of the crowd, but didn't find anything abnormal. She stealthily continued to personally deliver each bowl of tea into everyone's hands.

No one seemed to hesitate. They all savored the taste and continued chatting until the second night.

"Miss, Chun Er doesn't understand why you painstakingly asked me to bring the medicine bowls from the medicine house to be used as medicine."

"Just you wait, you'll know in the latter half of the night …" Bing Lanyue laughed strangely, her eyes carrying a touch of cold intent.

"I heard that last night he went to Concubine Lin's courtyard and did not stop. It's said that Concubine Lin was bewitched by the devil and made up nonsense overnight."

Chun Er, who was fetching water for Bing Lanyue early in the morning, heard the gossip between the servant girls and quickly passed it on to Bing Lanyue who was washing her hair.

"Oh, is that so? Let's go take a look later." Bing Lanyue laughed faintly, her expression was so calm that no one could tell what she was thinking, but she gave a feeling that she would be inviolable.

This was the first time Bing Lanyue had walked into the courtyard of the Concubine Lin on her own accord. Even though this courtyard was the concubine's side courtyard, Concubine Lin had been managing the Ice Family's internal affairs for many years, so it was much more luxurious than the main house.

Upon entering, he could smell the faint scent of chrysanthemum in the air, causing him to immediately become more spirited.

Just as Bing Lanyue stepped into the courtyard, he saw Bing Ruolan walking towards him. She immediately smiled and said: "Little sister, are you here to pick me up?"

"Of course, I know what you did last night." Bing Ruolan clenched her fists tightly, as though she wanted to tear the lady in front of her into shreds. If it wasn't for the two maids watching her from the side, she really wanted to take action.

"Did I do anything but sleep yesterday? How come I didn't know. " Bing Lanyue innocently blinked her eyes, her face had a harmless smile, acting as if she didn't care about anything at all.

What the Concubine Lin had poisoned Bing Lanyue with was a life-threatening poison, but Bing Lanyue had only punished her with a few pills that would make her feel pain and confusion. In her previous life, she did not kill or set fire to others, but in this life, she did not want to dirty her hands.

"Hmph, don't fall into my hands. Just you wait!" Bing Ruolan was pulled by the sleeves by the servant behind him, and impatiently flung off the bindings as she pointed at Bing Lanyue's nose and spoke fiercely.

Although the Concubine Lin wanted to kill her, she could understand the reason why the men of this world were inferior to the girls. She just wanted to give the Concubine Lin a chance, so that she could restrain herself after receiving her warning.

Yesterday, before the tea was served, Bing Lanyue had smeared poison on the outside of every teacup, but had smeared medicine on the inside. If Concubine Lin did not have a guilty conscience and did not dare to drink the tea, she would not have been poisoned today.

When drinking tea, she definitely had to eat some snacks. When her poisoned hands touched the snacks and then ate them, it was naturally the latter half of the night that the poison broke out.

This was something that Bing Lanyue had made good use of. She smirked.

As she stepped into the room, she heard the soft moans coming from the bed. Bing Lanyue took the food box from Chun Er's hands and sat beside Concubine Lin.

"Aunt, I heard that you haven't eaten yet, so I specially made some digestible snacks. Why don't you get up and try it?"

Opening the box, there were some small and exquisite snacks, Bing Lanyue did not know the name, but Chun Er had taught her how to make these, so she forgot to ask.

"You're quite considerate. Thank you for your kind intentions, but I'm afraid my stomach won't be able to take it …"

With that, the Concubine Lin immediately jumped up from the bed, her voice sounding very loud.
