After infiltrating the main characters' group, I became the most beautiful woman in the world.

"It's you?"

Tangxi looked at the servant in front of her with some surprise. She remembered this person because he had served Susu very well in the stands of the martial arts arena.

She remembered that she had also asked him to accompany her when Su Ning went to the martial arts arena in the future.

Xiao Xing was kneeling at the moment, making it impossible to see her expression, but she showed no sign of panic as if she had been summoned for questioning.

The two head maids, Xiaomei and Xiaoqin, were now aware of the seriousness of the situation and stood silently to the side.

We've already questioned them all; they're all elderly family members, and we know Uncle Fu well enough to know them all. They absolutely couldn't have done something like poisoning.

The pastry that Yuezi ate this morning was supposed to be brought from the kitchen by Xiaomei, but it ended up being served by Xiaoxing.

Three chairs were placed in the courtyard. Tang Xi sat in the middle, while Pei Yunlian and Su Ning sat on either side.

Compared to the other two, Su Ning was probably the most relaxed one. Tang Xi glanced at the kneeling man, neither angry nor shouting, but still maintaining her authority:

"Did you poison Yue Zijin?"

Xiaomei had already told her that when she brought the pastries over, she only had contact with Xiaoxing; he had taken the initiative to do it.

Moreover, Xiaoqin had just told her that this man had been acting suspiciously last night, constantly staring at Su Ning's room.

Tangxi felt that the person in front of her was the most suspicious.

"Please, young lady, understand. If I truly poisoned Young Hero Yue, there must have been a reason. But I have no grudge against him, so why would I do such a despicable thing?"

"Besides, everyone knows I was the one who brought those pastries. Wouldn't that be an admission of guilt?"

Xiao Xing remained calm and respectful in the face of questioning, leaving Tang Xi speechless.

Moreover, what he said wasn't entirely unreasonable. If he had really taken on the job of delivering pastries in public, he would have fled long ago, and there would have been no opportunity to interrogate him.

Uncle He's side still needs to conduct tests first, and no results have been obtained yet. The other disciples are also checking places where poison could be easily added.

They couldn't convict Xiao Xing right away. Tang Xi was about to order someone to drag him away and lock him up when Su Ning stopped her.

"Wait a minute." As soon as Su Ning spoke, almost everyone's eyes were on her.

Even Xiao Xing, who had been keeping her head down, was now staring at her without blinking.

"Ahem." Su Ning placed a hand to her lips, feigning a few coughs. "After all, there's no evidence to prove he did it. Why don't we let him kneel here for now, and wait for Doctor He's results to come out before deciding whether it was the pastry that poisoned him."

"Su Su?" Tang Xi looked at her in surprise, and even Pei Yunlian frowned after hearing this.

Su Ning winked at her, and Tang Xi, feeling helpless, could only look at the person kneeling on the ground and say, "Since Su Su has spoken, then you can stay kneeling here."

Perhaps only Yu Xinglai, now known as Xiao Xing, was truly overjoyed.

Even though Su Ning wasn't looking at him, he still felt a soft feeling in his heart, like a warm current flowing through his limbs and bones.

Since Su Ning spoke up for him, she must have him in her heart.

Yu Xinglai thought to herself, "Then... then I won't blame her. She must have been tired after going out to play all day."

He only waited one more day. Once that fool Yue Zijin recovered and this matter was settled, he would cook for her again.

Pei Yunlian was about to say something when a figure in light blue suddenly walked out of the doorway; it was You Xunchun.

He seemed surprised to see so many people in the courtyard and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Pei Yunlian immediately went to greet him and, to make a long story short, explained what had happened that day to him.

In terms of medical skills, You Xunchun was undoubtedly among the top in his time.

Even if the other party did not study under Hundred Flowers Valley, they still rose to fame with their medical skills, which is already quite remarkable.

Inside the room.

Yue Zijin lay on the bed groaning. The usually vigorous young man, full of energy and vitality, was now sick and could not hide his pale, weak and listless appearance.

After taking the patient's pulse, the doctor in the green robe inserted a few needles, wrote a prescription, and handed it to the servant standing nearby so the patient could get the medicine.

The three of them were stunned by the whole process.

Su Ning spoke first, after careful consideration: "Brother You, do you already know what kind of poison Zijin has been poisoned with?"

You Xunchun turned around and realized that everyone in the room, including Yue Zijin and the other three, was staring at him.

They seemed to be hoping to hear something from him.

Fortunately, the doctor in the green robe calmly waved his hand and explained, "Young friend Yue is not poisoned; it's just a matter of food incompatibility."

"What?" Tangxi exclaimed first.

Food incompatibility means that a person cannot eat a certain type of food and should stay far away from it.

Su Ning understood too; after all that, it turned out that Yue Zijin had a food allergy.

At that time, there was no concept of allergies, but allergies were indeed easily confused with poisoning.

Not long after You Xunchun finished speaking, the lame doctor He also sent someone to deliver a message: there was no problem with the food, except that one of the pastries had an extra, uncommon purple tassel flower added to it.

Purple tassel flowers are not particularly precious, but they cannot grow in the land of Xiyue. They are usually only planted in Dongjian.

The chef who made the pastries today also explained that the purple tassels were added specifically for coloring because they were originally made for Miss Su.

It was only because Yue Zijin's symptoms were acute and resembled signs of poisoning that the initial diagnosis was wrong.

"So that's how it is," Yue Zijin murmured.

It turns out it was all a misunderstanding.

If we're talking about this, Tang Xi should be the one who's most furious. It's already a turbulent time, and then Yue Zijin has to come and make things worse. So she gave him a thorough dressing down and left.

Yue Zijin didn't seem to mind being scolded by Tang Xi, but she felt a little embarrassed looking at the others in the room. "This is the first time I've heard of this Purple Tassel Flower. Who knew I couldn't eat it?"

"Alright, alright, you should rest now."

After saying goodbye, Su Ning left, leaving Pei Yunlian staring at her expressionlessly, shaking her head: "You really know how to cause trouble."

After saying that, he left.

You Xun Chun, however, looked at the other person gently and comforted them, "Now that you know the Purple Tassel Flower is incompatible with you, you can't eat it next time, otherwise you'll feel just as bad as you did today."

Yue Zi was almost in tears, clutching the blanket: "Waaah, Brother You, you'll be my brother for life."

After Yue Zijin's blunder, Tang Xi scolded him severely, but still ordered a thorough investigation of the villa, especially the food and daily drinks.

That night, Su Ning was taking a bath.

Steam rises, and warm mist drifts over the carved bathtub.

Su Ning loosened her hair bun, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall, with most of it falling onto the rim of the tub, leaving only a few strands of wet hair clinging to her neck.

She lay languidly on the edge of the bathtub, her skin glowing pink from the steam.

The bathtub was large, the water temperature infused with the fragrance of flower petals, rising up to her waist. She squinted slightly, her long eyelashes drooping, casting a soft shadow.

She seemed to be enjoying something, as soft moans escaped her lips.

The clear water rippled, and the petals floating on the surface concealed the undercurrents hidden in the bathtub.
