After transmigrating, I made a name for myself through my culinary skills.

Jiang Ning's guess was indeed correct; Ye Lan had indeed been drugged with the aphrodisiac the moment she entered the room.

When Wanwan was dancing, she deliberately swayed the ribbon in front of Ye Lan, causing him to inhale the fine powder. This powder only works when combined with alcohol, which is why Jiang Nan and the others ate and drank without any problems—because the medicine wasn't mixed with the food or drinks.

Outside the private room, Yao Yao had Liu'er disperse the onlookers. She and Wanwan walked back to the backyard together; they didn't need to entertain any more guests today.

Yao Yao looked at Wanwan, who couldn't help but tease other customers as she went downstairs, and gently shook her head. She really was full of energy all day long.

Once they reached the backyard, she asked Wanwan, "Why did you use an aphrodisiac on this Young Master Ye?"

Wanwan pouted and said, "It's all because of that guy Beigong Lingtian. He told me that if I could embarrass these people, he would give me five thousand taels of high-grade spirit stones. I thought Ye Lan was the best-looking among them, so I used a drug on him. Who knew he was so averse to women and resisted the urge to touch me."

These three were lured into the Hidden Fragrance Courtyard by Bei Gong Lingtian's leaked information, and once inside, it was Wanwan's turn to do her job.

Wanwan drugged Ye Lan, and the drug was very difficult for anyone to detect. If he had a weak will and couldn't resist touching Wanwan, Wanwan would send a signal to have someone break down the door. At that time, Ye Lan would be caught red-handed by the people of Cangxiang Courtyard. Since no one could detect that he had been drugged, Ye Lan would have no way to defend himself.

You should know that Wanwan and Yaoyao are artists who don't sell their bodies. The red thread tied around their waists is a sign that they only sell their art. If Ye Lan's behavior is caught, he will be accused of forcing a dancer. At best, he will be beaten up by the Cangxiang Courtyard and the customers who like Wanwan; at worst, he will be ruined.

Who would have thought that Wanwan wouldn't even live to see that day, when someone broke down the door. The person who kicked the door open was Jiang Ning, not the people arranged by Beigong Lingtian.

Fortunately, Ye Lan maintained her body with willpower and held on until Jiang Ning returned, thus thwarting their plans.

Thinking of this, Wanwan, unusually, doubted her own beauty: "Sister Yaoyao, do you think I'm not pretty enough? Or is that Young Master Ye not good enough?"

Wanwan was clearly upset about her failed plan; she refused to believe that any normal man would be unmoved by her beauty.

But Yao Yao didn't think so. Instead, she said, "Perhaps he already has someone he loves, which is why he can remain unmoved. I don't think he's the kind of frivolous man."

Wanwan scoffed, "Hmph, not every man is as devoted as your brother-in-law."

Hearing her mention her brother-in-law, Yao Yao changed the subject and asked her, "What did Mo'er say to you just now?"

Mo'er was the woman who came in and spoke to her earlier. She was Fu Niang's personal maid and was usually responsible for relaying messages.

Wanwan obviously knew that Yaoyao didn't like people mentioning her brother-in-law, so she changed the subject: "Fu Niang sent Mo'er to deliver a message. She told me that Jiang Ning is not someone we can mess with. At the same time, Fu Niang also sent a message to Bei Gong. Now, Bei Gong Lingtian has been locked up by the Palace Master and is not allowed to cause any more trouble for these people."

Hearing this, Yao Yao stopped in her tracks: "So, these people are really quite important?"

"Perhaps."

Although the person who ordered her to do the work was imprisoned, Wanwan didn't care. She was more concerned about whether Beigong Lingtian could still pay her the five thousand high-grade spirit stones on time.

Fu Niang did not tell Wan Wan their identities, nor did Bei Gong Ling Tian tell her. However, the fact that they came to Sang Yu for help meant that they were all cultivators of high status and wealth.

As if she had just thought of something, Wanwan added, "I never imagined that Jiang Ning's true appearance under that mask would be so handsome. If he hadn't been using that mask, I would have chosen him to drug me back then, and maybe then this matter would have been settled."

Yao Yao reminded her, "If it succeeds, you'll probably get scolded by Fu Niang now. Since she's not someone we can mess with, don't go looking for trouble."

Wanwan agreed with her: "That's true. I'll go find Fu Niang and see if I can find out anything."

Before she could go inside to find Fu Niang, a woman came out. It was Die'er, who usually took care of Fu Niang. She bowed to the two women and said, "Sister Yao Yao, Sister Wan Wan."

Yao Yao asked, "What's wrong?"

Butterfly: "Fu Niang wants to see Sister Yao Yao."

After hearing this, Yao Yao followed her. Wan Wan wanted to go in with her, but was stopped. Die'er said, "Fu Niang said she only wants to see Sister Yao Yao, and also wants Sister Wan Wan to copy the Jingxin Sutra a hundred times."

After she finished speaking, Wanwan's expression cracked.

Recite the "Meditation Sutra" a hundred times! You know, Fu Niang rarely gets angry, but now she's being punished for such a small thing. She asked incredulously, "Just for what happened just now?"

Butterfly: "Yes, Fu Niang also said that if Sister Wanwan is unwilling, when she comes out and tells you, it will be copied two hundred times."

Wanwan immediately shut up. Fu Niang's words proved that she was truly angry. It seemed that Jiang Ning was indeed someone of great importance and not to be trifled with. She sighed and could only obediently go to her room, find a brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and begin copying the "Meditation Sutra".

There was a wall of books in her room, all of which were scriptures that she had copied when she made mistakes in the past. However, since she became the top courtesan in recent years, she has always performed well, and Fu Niang has never punished her again. This is the first time in recent years that she has copied these scriptures again.

When she first started copying, Wanwan was furious. She thought that no matter what, she had to get those five thousand high-grade spirit stones from Beigong Lingtian and also give him a piece of her mind for not finding out about other people's backgrounds before asking them to do things.

When she had copied it fifty times, she began to calm down and reflect on herself. She shouldn't have been greedy for money. Bei Gong Lingtian was no good person. She shouldn't have gone along with him.

Wanwan was also a cultivator. She now had the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul and could abstain from grains, so she kept copying until late at night without stopping. She rubbed her sore hands and copied the "Meditation Sutra" for the last time.

After the ink dried, she tidied up the white paper with the "Meditation Sutra" written on it and placed it on the wall of books. She decided not to grant any of Bei Gonglingtian's requests for the foreseeable future.

Jiang Ning and the other two were completely unaware of this. After Wanwan and the others left, Jiang Nan was told to sit by the door to prevent anyone from coming in and disturbing them.

After Ye Lan drank the antidote, his breathing gradually calmed down. The antidote worked quickly, and after a quarter of an hour, Ye Lan's body returned to normal.

When he and Jiang Nan met Jiang Ning's gaze, they both felt a little guilty. Jiang Nan felt that he had only been focused on eating and hadn't taken good care of his brother, while Ye Lan had just thought that he had really changed his mind and felt extremely guilty towards Jiang Ning.

God knows, he recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra several times but it didn't work. Luckily, he was drugged in the end, rather than actually becoming straight.

Seeing that Ye Lan was conscious, Jiang Ning squeezed his hand tightly under the table to reassure him that he could go back now that the matter was settled.

Before they left, the Tibetan inn waived all their expenses for the day. Fu Niang even sent someone to apologize, saying it was to apologize for the little joke that Wanwan had played. Jiang Ning politely declined the apology, and then he took Ye Lan's hand and walked back to the inn.
