Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

Yu Shuyan appeared puzzled:

"But you just said that I won't have the chance to eat imperial dishes in the future, as if you're certain that you can enjoy them as you please."

"Isn't that telling us that you're going to become a concubine in the palace?"

Zhou Ruifen was so angry with her that she wanted to rush forward and tear her mouth apart. But she pointed at her for a long time without saying a word.

"Alright, stop arguing. Ruifen, you've ruined a lot of your makeup by getting so angry. Let Ziyue go downstairs with you to fix it up."

Wang Ziyue was taken aback. She and Zhou Ruifen had already fought so fiercely, so why was Situ Yue still asking her to stay with her?

Could it be that she has forgotten?

However, he dared not refuse verbally, and hurriedly said:

"That's right, Ruifen, how about I come down with you and we tidy up a bit?"

Zhou Ruifen initially wanted to refuse, but the thought of Wang Ziyue's two-faced nature made her feel nauseous, and she had no desire to be with her anymore.

However, when she met Situ Yue's eyes, which, though seemingly indifferent, appeared to hold a chilling intent, she still lacked the courage to refuse and quickly stood up.

"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Situ. I'll go downstairs now and tidy things up."

After saying that, he didn't even look at Wang Ziyue, but turned around and headed towards the garden entrance.

Wang Ziyue also hurriedly got up, curtsied to Situ Yue, and quickly followed after her.

However, as soon as the two stepped out of the garden gate, Qiqiao blocked their way.

Qiqiao seemed to have been waiting for the two of them for a long time, and smiled:

"Gentlemen, Miss Situ has something to say. Please step aside for a moment."

As he spoke, he gestured in one direction, indicating "please."

Although the two found it strange, they dared not question or neglect Situ Yue's confidants. They hurriedly followed in the direction Qi Qiao pointed.

~~~~~

"Miss Situ, is that painting next to you Master Qingyun's 'New Rain in the Empty Mountains'?"

Some people are already eagerly waiting to see the "New Rain in the Empty Mountains" painting.

Everyone echoed this sentiment; clearly, pretentious people are everywhere.

Situ Yue chuckled lightly:

"Of course not~"

Everyone was stunned:

"Then, what is this?"

Situ Yue smiled and said:

"Here, in a little while, you can enjoy the delicious food and play a game of poetry and prose. Since you are all refined people, you naturally need poetry and songs to enhance the atmosphere and accompany your drinks, right?"

Someone sensed something was wrong and asked:

"Us? Miss Situ isn't participating?"

Situ Yue smiled faintly and looked at Bai Ziyu:

"Ziyu, the painting 'New Rain in the Empty Mountains' is in my father's study. Why don't you come with me to appreciate it?"

Everyone was startled again:

What's happening here?

Should we let Bai Ziyu meet our parents?

However, there has never been any indication that the Prime Minister's residence was planning to form a marriage alliance with the Bai family.

Moreover, is it even possible for the Prime Minister's residence and the Bai family to form a marriage alliance?

Your Majesty, will you allow it?

After all, one is a powerful prime minister with immense influence, and the other is a literary giant with students throughout the court. Would His Majesty feel at ease if these two families were to form a marriage alliance?

This Situ Yue has always been intelligent and charming.

But why is she so obsessed with Bai Ziyu?

Isn't she afraid of bringing utter destruction to the Prime Minister's residence?

Of course, people only dared to grumble about these things in their hearts, and certainly didn't dare to say them out loud.

However, everyone stared at Bai Ziyu with curious eyes. Clearly, they were eager to know how he would answer.

Jin Wanliang opened his folding fan, covering half his face, and leaned close to Bai Ziyu's ear, smiling as he said:

"Ziyu, look how proactive that girl is!"

Bai Ziyu frowned:

He had been looking forward to the painting of "New Rain in the Empty Mountains" for a long time; it was truly tempting to him.

However, it is naturally impossible for him to act impulsively for the sake of a painting.

Just as Bai Ziyu frowned, everyone stared at him, waiting to see his reaction.

A figure resembling a servant appeared at the garden entrance. Hidden behind the trees, he peered inside.

Wen Lang had been watching the garden entrance, intentionally or unintentionally. When he saw that figure, a flash of excitement appeared in his eyes.

The figure nodded to Wen Lang, then turned and quickly left.

Wen Lang's face was brimming with barely concealed excitement.

He glanced around and noticed everyone staring at Bai Ziyu. He quickly pulled a packet of powder from his sleeve and poured it into his cup.

Then, after shaking the medicine to dissolve it, he poured half a cup into an empty cup in front of him. Then, he picked up the wine pot and filled both cups.

He thought he had done it perfectly, but Yu Shuyan, who was watching him closely, noticed his actions.

She raised an eyebrow slightly. Poison?

She remained silent, her eyes slightly narrowed, a thought stirring within her:

Can you tell what was added to that glass of wine?

Of course, she only asked tentatively. After all, being so far away and unable to make contact, it was highly unlikely that she would be able to discern anything.

However, after a short while, the invisible image, flashing with blue light, reappeared before her eyes.

She was initially pleasantly surprised:

It's actually possible to do all of that.

After that, wouldn't others be able to poison her? After all, as long as she's eating something, before she even suspects it, she can simply ask what's in it, right?

However, her joy lasted only a short while before her face darkened.

How despicable! They actually used poison!

But what is the purpose of using Gu?

But who was the person who taught Wen Lang to use Gu poison?

What exactly does Wen Lang want to do?

Yu Shuyan's eyes darkened, but she did not expose him.

After all, she needed to know what Wen Lang really wanted to do.

Seeing Bai Ziyu hesitate, Situ Yue felt a pang of sadness, but she chuckled softly:

"Ziyu, don't worry, my father is not in the manor right now. If he were, you might actually see the 'New Rain in the Empty Mountains' painting. After all, my father treasures this painting and never lets us touch it."

Seeing that Situ Yue was about to trick Bai Ziyu away, Wen Lang panicked:

If he leaves, how will they continue their act?

After a moment's thought, an idea immediately came to me.

He picked up two cups from the table, walked over to Bai Ziyu, handed one of the cups to Bai Ziyu, and said with a slight smile:

"Young Master Bai, there must be some misunderstanding between us."

"Of course, you are a magnanimous person who doesn't hold grudges. Drink this cup of wine and consider it forgiveness of me, okay?"

Bai Ziyu's eyes lingered on Wen Lang's face for a long while, his gaze deep and intense.

Just when everyone thought he would refuse, he surprisingly took the wine glass from his hand and smiled:

"This glass of wine has quite a story behind it, and it has quite a history."

"It seems that if I don't drink, I'll appear petty."

"It seems I have no choice but to drink it!"
