Lin Yuxi didn't touch the bowl of porridge either. Soon Luyun led Liangchen into the room. When Lin Yuxi saw her, she smiled and said without waiting for her to greet, "I heard that you cooked this porridge by yourself. It's really good. Just smelling it makes people hungry. You've worked hard. I should thank you very much."

"These are what I should do. I don't deserve the thanks from the young lady," Liangchen bowed with a hint of doubt.

Lin Yuxi motioned Cuiping to bring the meat porridge to Liangchen, and said with an embarrassed look,

"I have been feeling unwell these past two days, and the doctor has told me not to eat meat. This bowl of meat porridge is for you."

She smiled and stared at Liangchen without blinking. Cuiping handed the meat porridge to her. Liangchen's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his face looked a little pale. He waved his hands repeatedly and said,

"Thank you, Madam, for the porridge. Serving you is my duty, and I dare not take credit for it."

Lu Yun, however, puffed her lips and looked at Liang Chen, frowning and saying unhappily, "The young mistress gave you porridge as a reward, so you just eat it. Could it be that you look down on the young mistress and won't even give her this little face?"

At this moment, Yang Chenchuan came in from outside and happened to hear Lu Yun's words. He frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

When Lu Yun saw Yang Chenchuan, she glared at Liang Chen in dissatisfaction:

"Young Madam gave Sister Liangchen some porridge, but Sister Liangchen despised it. Young Madam has never eaten that porridge before."

Liang Chen's face turned pale, and he looked at Yang Chenchuan for help, shaking his head and said, "Master, I don't have it."

She looked at him pitifully, hoping that the young master would help her because of their past friendship.

However, she was wrong. In Yang Chenchuan's mind, only Lin Yuxi's matter was the most important. As smart as he was, how could he not see that there was something wrong with the porridge?

"You are the first one to refuse the master's reward."

Yang Chenchuan said lightly, then gave Cuiping a look, and Cuiping tactfully passed the porridge to him.

Liangchen bit her lip and held the bowl in Cuiping's hand with trembling hands. Lin Yuxi looked at her leisurely. She wanted to see if she really dared to eat it.

She has been dealing with herbs every day recently, so she has become more and more sensitive to the smell of herbs. She just smelled the scent of herbs in the porridge.

Although she couldn't identify what the herbs were, the fact that they were added to the porridge was definitely suspicious.

After hesitating for a long time, Liangchen finally raised the spoon and slowly moved it to his lips. Before he could open his mouth, he was so scared that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground. The bowl of porridge also fell to the ground. Liangchen knelt on the porridge and begged for mercy, "Please spare my life, Madam."

Lin Yuxi blinked innocently and said with a smile on her face,

"I just asked you to cry over a bowl of porridge, not to eat poison. Why are you begging for mercy? Or is there something wrong with this bowl of porridge? You knew that and you didn't dare to eat it?"

Liangchen was speechless when asked, and looked at Lin Yuxi with horrified eyes. The young lady had asked about this just now. She was responsible for the porridge. She couldn't refuse the reward from the young lady. This bowl of porridge...

From Liangchen's expression, it was clear that she knew the porridge was poisonous. Lin Yuxi didn't want to play with her anymore, so she said with a gloomy face,

"Why do you want to harm me? Who ordered you to do so? Tell me the truth and I will spare your life."

When Luyun heard this, she became so angry that her face turned red and tears welled up in her eyes. She glared at Liangchen fiercely, saying that Liangchen had actually harmed the young mistress. If anything happened to the young mistress, she would die ten thousand times and it would not be enough. She even wanted to strangle her to death.

Liang Chen looked up at Yang Chenchuan and saw his pupils flashing, a cold light flashing through his eyes, and a strong murderous aura on his handsome face. Liang Chen had never seen him show such an expression before. For a moment, he was frightened and his back went cold. His eyes were full of fear. He kowtowed repeatedly and said,

"Master and Madam, please spare me. I know nothing. The porridge was too hot and I didn't hold it steady. I didn't poison it."

Yang Chenchuan's eyes narrowed suddenly, his eyes were filled with unmelted ice, and his voice was filled with a chill.

"Drag her away and give her twenty lashes of the cane. I wonder how long she can keep her mouth shut. I remember your mother lived in a small alley in Lujia Village."

When Liangchen heard this, a trace of despair appeared in his eyes, but he still kept saying those two words, and he was quite tight-lipped.

Yang Chenchuan's eyes were filled with coldness and deep remorse. He had almost hurt her again.

If she had not had the foresight to learn medicine from her uncle, she would have been in trouble today.

Lin Yuxi turned her head and looked at the gloom in his eyes. Her heart tightened and she took the initiative to hold his hand, giving him warmth.

The two men looked at each other, collected their minds, glanced at the porridge on the ground, asked someone to scoop it up, and called for a doctor. He wanted to see what medicine those people were going to give his wife.

Doctor Li benefited a lot from Jiang Le's advice last time, so when Young Master Yang invited him, he put aside all his appointments and came quickly.

Doctor Li dipped a little porridge with his finger, put it under his nose and smelled it, then frowned.

He thought that the Second Young Madam was really troublesome. She was given the Han Gong medicine, which caused her to suffer from deficiency. Although this poison is not as harmful as the Han Gong medicine, it is still something that can harm people.

Doctor Li stroked his beard and said slowly: "There is a kind of wild grass in the porridge. This grass is not very toxic. If you eat it by mistake, you can drink mung bean soup and it will be fine. But this grass has a nickname, called mud spots, which means that if you eat this grass by mistake, spots will grow on your face, just like mud splashed on your face."

Among a woman’s moral character, appearance comes second, which shows that it is very important.

He made her infertile before, and now he wants to destroy her appearance?

He really has a heart as vicious as a snake!

"Is there any solution?" Lin Yuxi asked.

Doctor Li shook his head regretfully and said, "As far as I know, there is no medicine to cure it. Anyone who eats this herb will develop spots on their face within one day or three days. Fortunately, the spots are not too dark and can be covered up by applying more makeup."

Doctor Li looked up at Yang Chenchuan, and continued: "Of course, this is also because my medical skills are not good enough, and I have no solution. If it were Mr. Jiang, maybe there would be a way. Second Young Madam, has anyone in the mansion accidentally eaten this poison?"

Lin Yuxi shook her head and said, "Don't be embarrassed, Doctor Li. This bowl of porridge was originally for me to eat, but I smelled something wrong, so I became more cautious. I didn't expect..."

She sighed. It turned out that there was really no room for her for a moment. The Second Wife was under house arrest because of her. She must hate her to death.

Lin Yuxi couldn't help but sneer. The Second Madam hated her. She did such a thing and yet she still hated her. She had been kind enough.

Seeing that she didn't say anything further, Doctor Li didn't ask any more questions. He just gave her a few instructions and left.
