My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

That evening, the Lu family's three tables were packed with people.

Despite the rush, Ji Yunshuang still prepared a large table of food.

Roast pork belly, roast duck, candied sweet potatoes, stir-fried cabbage with vinegar...

Even the Mu Zhou family, who had already witnessed Ji Yunshuang's culinary skills, were amazed by the exquisite and novel dishes on the table.

Not to mention the Fang family and the Lai Yiu-chung couple.

Li Yaozong's eyes were shining, and he looked at Ji Yunshuang as if she were a rare treasure.

Lu Yinheng noticed his gaze, his face darkened, and he deliberately took the opportunity of toasting to stomp hard on Li Yaozong's foot.

Li Yaozong's face was contorted with pain, but he didn't want to lose face in front of Ji Yunshuang, so he forced himself to endure it.

Ji Wanying sat to the side and saw Lu Yinheng's actions clearly. She felt inexplicably happy and had more appreciation for this farmer whom she had always looked down on.

But thinking about how her carefully chosen husband was coveting another woman, and how Ji Yunshuang's man stomped on another man's foot just because he glanced at her, a bitter and resentful feeling rose in her heart.

Thinking about the Gu worm she had ingested, she quickly suppressed her emotions and tried her best to play the role of a good younger sister, saying auspicious words.

Niu Dahua and the others also stood up, holding their earthen bowls, and said auspicious words.

At the women's table, Ji Yunshuang didn't add any alcohol; everyone was drinking white fungus soup.

The white fungus was taken out of Ji Yunshuang's space and cooked together with the wild goji berries she had previously sun-dried.

Besides secretly adding a little rock sugar while simmering, Ji Yunshuang also added a tiny bit of wild honey after it was taken off the heat.

In this era, silver ear fungus could not be artificially cultivated and was a very precious commodity.

However, apart from Lu Yinheng and his son, who were both reborn, only the Zhao family and Li Yaozong and his wife had the knowledge to know that the sweet water was white fungus soup.

Niu Dahua toasted Ji Yunshuang and Gu Chunzhi with white fungus soup instead of wine, praising how delicious the sweet soup was, saying it was the best he had ever tasted in his life.

Lu Yuzhu squinted her eyes in enjoyment and praised, "Mother, your sweet soup is so delicious. I really love the new house. I wish we could have the new house every day."

As soon as the little girl finished speaking, laughter erupted from everyone in the room.

Someone jokingly said to Lu Yuzhu, "If you live in a new house every day, how many houses would you need? You couldn't possibly live in them all."

Lu Yuzhu looked disappointed and said, "It won't work?"

Ji Yunshuang smiled and tapped her daughter's forehead, saying, "No need for a new house, Mother will cook for you every day."

"Really?" Lu Yuzhu's face lit up instantly, and she hugged and kissed Ji Yunshuang. "Mother, you're so good to me."

Li Yaozong, standing to the side, was extremely envious of the mother and daughter's affectionate display.

If he could have a daughter like her, how wonderful that would be!

His heart was burning with passion, and he didn't care about Lu Yinheng's displeased look. He endured the pain in his feet, stood up, and took his wine glass to the table where Ji Yunshuang and the others were sitting. He said to Ji Wanying, "Wife, come, let's toast our sister together and wish her prosperity and abundance every year."

Li Yaozong's behavior was originally inappropriate, but by bringing Ji Wanying along to toast Ji Yunshuang, it seemed less out of line.

Ji Yunshuang glanced at Ji Wanying with a smile, picked up the bowl of white fungus soup in her hand, and said, "Then thank you for your kind words, brother-in-law."

Looking at her beautiful face, Li Yaozong was instantly captivated. Ji Wanying, on the other hand, was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and almost fainted.

She now understands Ji Yunshuang somewhat, knowing that the gentler her smile, the more ruthless she is.

She didn't care how ruthlessly she dealt with Li Yaozong; what she feared was that Ji Yunshuang had already seen through her scheme.

Lu Yinheng looked at Ji Yunshuang with an icy expression, but a strange flame was burning in his heart.

Was she unaware that Lai Yiu-chung harbored ill intentions towards her? Or was she unaware of how charming her smile was?

And she smiled so gently at that scumbag?

Seemingly sensing the cold aura emanating from Lu Yinheng, Li Yaozong snapped out of his daze.

His gaze toward Lu Yinheng became even more disdainful.

He's just an incompetent farmer, what makes him think he can marry Ji Yunshuang, such a beautiful and delicate peony?

A woman like Ji Yunshuang was born to belong to him.

Once she falls in love with him, he wants her to watch him possess her with painful jealousy.

Thinking about Ji Yunshuang falling in love with him and the days that belonged to him, his heart burned even hotter. He couldn't wait to grab the wine bottle and glass on the table, pouring wine for her while saying, "Sister, this glass of wine represents my blessing to you. You can't just drink the white fungus soup; you have to drink this glass."

As Lu Yinheng watched the subtle actions of pouring the wine, the anger in his heart burned even more fiercely.

He stepped forward to block Li Yaozong's view, took the wine cup and said, "My wife isn't good at drinking, so I'll drink this cup for her!"

While pouring the wine, Li Yaozong secretly dissolved the medicine Ji Wanying had given him into the wine glass. He was fantasizing that after Ji Yunshuang drank the wine he had spiked, she would fall deeply in love with him and would never give the wine glass to Lu Yinheng.

Seeing him keep refusing, Lu Yinheng sneered, "Why is my stepbrother-in-law doing this? Is there something special about this wine that makes my wife insist on drinking it?"

"No, these are all made with your own wine glasses and wine, how could there be any difference?"

Li Yaozong was sweating profusely, regretting that he had acted too hastily in front of so many people, and now he was in a difficult situation.

"If there's no difference, then why can only my wife drink this glass of wine, but I can't?"

As soon as Lu Yinheng finished speaking, everyone in the room had the same question. Seeing the questioning looks from everyone, Li Yaozong had no choice but to hand the wine glass to Lu Yinheng.

Just as Lu Yinheng was about to take the wine, Ji Yunba suddenly smiled and said, "Although my relationship with my maternal family has never been good and we don't interact much, since you have brought your stepsister to congratulate us on our housewarming today, you are a guest. It is not proper for a guest to pour wine for the host."

She took two clean wine glasses, poured herself two glasses of wine, handed one to Lu Yinheng, and then held one for herself, saying, "Thank you for your blessing, brother-in-law. Come on, let's drink this glass."

Li Yaozong had no choice but to take back the wine glass in his hand.

He didn't want to drink, but Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng both finished their drinks without hesitation.

Everyone in the room was watching him, and if he didn't drink, it would only arouse suspicion. He could only say a few words like, "We're all family, it doesn't matter who pours the wine," and then he picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

As Ji Wanying watched Li Yaozong drink the wine, a mixture of regret and pleasure rose in her heart, while her toes clenched tightly with nervousness.

She secretly observed Ji Yunshuang's expression, wondering just how much the Gu worm Ji Yunshuang had placed on her body could sense.

Did she refuse to drink the wine poured by Li Yaozong because she deliberately betrayed him, or did she know exactly what kind of medicine it was?

What she gave Lai Yiu-chung was certainly not some kind of medicine that would truly make someone fall deeply in love.

It is a slow-acting poison.

Those who ingest this poison will die slowly, much like someone suffering from tuberculosis. However, it is very difficult for others to detect that the person has been poisoned.

She wasn't lying to Li Yaozong about one thing: she really hadn't obtained this medicine easily. She didn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary.

She was forced into a corner by Lai Yiu-chung and had no choice but to take out that medicine as a last resort.
