Ren Baozhi's fingers tightened. Although her heart was in turmoil, the words she spoke came out naturally: "They were just drunken talk. I can't remember them. Why should Princess take them seriously?"

Every subtle movement of hers did not escape the sight of Princess Qianqiu, but Princess Qianqiu did not ask any more questions, as hunting required patience.

She said, "Li Qixi."

"Ok?"

"This princess's name."

In just one night, the news that Princess Qianqiu and Madam Chen had gone up the mountain and stayed out all night on the Double Ninth Festival spread like wildfire throughout the city.

The person who spread the news deliberately highlighted the princess's personal morality. Some people in Chang'an City thought about the incident yesterday when the princess did not allow them to perform the ceremony. Suddenly, they felt that Princess Qianqiu was not approachable, but did not follow the rules and did not respect etiquette. The good impression they had of the princess fell back.

The ministers in the court were naturally happy to see this. Princess Qianqiu's behavior was becoming more and more absurd.

Chen Mansion.

"Yue'er, don't cry. You have been crying all night since you came back yesterday." Yunjia held Chen Lanyue in her arms with heartache.

"Wuwuwu, mother, Yue'er has never been humiliated like yesterday, wuwuwu."

"Don't worry, Yue'er. It's all because of that Chen Baozhi who stole your limelight. Mother will definitely help you find a way to deal with her." Yunjia's eyes revealed a hint of resentment.

Chen Lanyue raised her head with tears in her eyes: "What does this have to do with pickled radish?"

"The technique that mother taught you to control men will never go wrong. Mother saw it yesterday. Mr. Zhu was completely bewitched by you. If it weren't for Chen Baozhi's bullying..."

"It wasn't my sister, it was Princess Qianqiu who drove me away." Chen Lanyue defended Ren Baozhi.

"As your older sister, she saw you being humiliated in public and didn't even speak up for you! She didn't stop it in time! Is there any older sister like that? It's outrageous!"

"But," Chen Lanyue paused, "Aren't my mother and father here too? Why don't you help Yue'er?"

"Uh... well..." Yunjia looked embarrassed. "Anyway, don't worry about it. Just listen to me. Let's do this..."

After hearing Yun's marriage plan, Chen Lanyue's fingers involuntarily clutched her clothes tightly. She swallowed in fear and said in a trembling voice, "Mother, do we really have to use such a vicious plan?"

Yunjia touched Chen Lanyue's hair and smiled creepily: "Listen to me, Yue'er."

As soon as Chen Gongzheng's vacation ended, Ren Baozhi noticed something strange.

Because Mr. Chen was at home, the whole family ate together every day. After Mr. Chen went to court, because Yunjia did not like Ren Baozhi and her daughter, they ate lunch separately and only ate dinner together.

This abnormality appeared during lunch.

For some reason, the kitchen has been acting out of character these days, preparing extremely sumptuous lunches for me every day, with lots of fish and meat, and a variety of dishes.

In this era when there is no cooking technology, it is really difficult for the chefs in the kitchen.

This went on for three consecutive days.

This made Ren Baozhi unable to sleep or eat, so she sent Jiangchun to invite a doctor. However, that doctor could only test poison with a silver needle and could not find anything unusual, so Ren Baozhi asked him to get out.

She sighed deeply and suddenly thought of Yao Xia.

However, Yao Xia was always with Chen Lanyue, so it was not convenient to ask her to come alone. Therefore, Ren Baozhi asked Jiang Chun to invite Chen Lanyue to sit in the house for a while.

Soon, Jiangchun came back: "Auntie, Second Madam said she is not feeling well."

Yes, how could I have forgotten?

Since returning from Leyouyuan last time, the two have had no contact except at the dinner table.

Although her relationship with Chen Lanyue was not close enough to the point of wearing the same pants, she could sense that Chen Lanyue had some feelings for her.

Even though she was very unreasonable.

Well... it's unreasonable and unforgiving.

Now that she behaves like this, she must know something.

Helpless, Ren Baozhi had to open the screen and search: How to use traditional Chinese medicine to determine whether the food is poisonous.

Then, she saw the first answer: Observe the symptoms. If you experience nausea and vomiting after eating the dishes...

Before I finished reading, Ren Baozhi turned off the screen and said, "Go away, I'm asking you because I don't dare to eat it."

[Host, please use civilized language and do not use foul language against this system. ]

Ren Baozhi smiled wryly: "Oh ha ha ha, I'm so sorry, please let your father and group leave on your own."

[Correction: The founder of Ji is an outstanding woman, so Xiao Ji only has a mother, not a father.]

"Ahhhh, you must be showing off on purpose. Don't listen, don't listen, Ji Bao is chanting!"

On the other side, inside Chen Lanyue’s house.

Chen Lanyue paced back and forth in the room, feeling extremely anxious. "Tell me, what exactly did she mean by sending someone to invite me just now?"

Yaoxia was actually worried about Ren Baozhi. Ever since her aunt taught her to read and let her study medicine, she has been grateful to her aunt.

She deliberately guided him, "You don't know, why don't you go and take a look and find out what's going on?"

"No, my mother told me not to have any contact with pickled radish before the matter is settled. She said I would ruin her good fortune."

"Then I will go and visit you on your behalf. Please be careful and don't let Second Lady find out."

"Okay, okay!" Chen Lanyue pushed Yaoxia to the door and said worriedly, "If my sister... no, if Jiangluobo has any abnormalities in her body, you must tell me the truth."

"promise."

There was a knock on the door.

Jiangchun opened the door and said in surprise, "Auntie, it's Yaoxia!"

"Hush," Yao Xia made a hushed gesture and slipped into the house. "Madam, let me take a look at this dish for you to see if there's anything unusual."

When Ren Baozhi heard Yaoxia's words, his guess was confirmed.

Even Yao Xia knew that there was something strange in the food, so there was no way Chen Lanyue didn't know.

But she was just thinking about it in her heart, and still greeted him warmly, letting Yaoxia look at the food on the table.

Yao Xia smelled the vegetables one by one, his face solemn and his brows slightly furrowed.

Ren Baozhi was terrified after watching this. She wondered if she would actually encounter this most classic food poisoning scene in novels and TV dramas.

Seeing Yaoxia pick up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth, Ren Baozhi whispered, "Spit it out!"

But Yaoxia didn't listen to her. Instead, she chewed the food in her mouth carefully. Then she picked up a piece of eggplant and was about to put it in her mouth.

Ren Baozhi quickly threw away her chopsticks: "What are you doing? You know this dish is poisonous!"

"There's nothing poisonous in the food," Yao Xia shook her head calmly, "At least the fish just now wasn't poisonous."

"really?"

"There are indeed some things added to this dish, but it is definitely not poisonous."

"What was added?"
