After setting down the wine glass, Chu Qinghe stood up, walked to the woman, and then lifted her up in his arms.

Seeing Chu Qinghe's actions, Qu Feiyan, having regained her senses, asked, "Young Master, do you know this woman?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe glanced at Qu Feiyan and said, "Don't you think her appearance looks a little familiar?"

Upon hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Qu Feiyan and the other two women looked at Lianxing in Chu Qinghe's arms.

After taking a closer look, Lin Shiyin couldn't help but remark, "This young lady's features bear a striking resemblance to Sister Yue."

Qu Feiyan said in surprise, "It really is true, this sister actually looks somewhat similar to Sister Yue."

As she spoke, Qu Feiyan glanced at Lianxing and said with a hint of uncertainty, "She looks so much like her and is so beautiful. Could she be Sister Yue's younger sister, Lianxing, the second palace master of Yihua Palace?"

Seeing that Qu Feiyan had reacted, Chu Qinghe gave a soft "hmm" in acknowledgment.

Upon realizing the identity of the person in front of her, Qu Feiyan's expression immediately turned strange.

Looking up at the roof and then at the petals scattered on the ground from Lianxing's fall, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but mutter, "She really is related to him. It's just like when Sister Yue came to Young Master's courtyard. She was poisoned by the poison in this courtyard."

It's no wonder that Qu Feiyan and Chu Qinghe had the same idea.

After all, the way Yaoyue and Lianxing first met Chu Qinghe and Qu Feiyan was not only similar, but exactly the same.

After Chu Qinghe carried Lianxing into the room, Qu Feiyan glanced at Lianxing, whose face was flushed and who looked as if she were drunk, and then looked at Chu Qinghe and asked, "Young Master, have you changed the poison you set up in the courtyard again?"

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "The poison in the yard is adjusted according to the addition or subtraction of plants each time. Didn't we add some summer flowers a few days ago? So we adjusted it accordingly."

A skillful method of poisoning often combines the right timing and location, blending seamlessly into the surrounding environment to make it difficult for the victim to detect.

It's not as simple as just sprinkling some poison or applying some poison to the tip of a knife.

For Chu Qinghe, the poisons placed in this courtyard varied according to the seasons.

If possible, it could be handled specially, just like when Jellyfish Yin Ji came, with a custom-made poison. In any case, there will always be a poison that meets Chu Qinghe's requirements.

Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, not only Qu Feiyan, but even Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin were somewhat speechless.

It's one thing to poison someone in their own yard, but the real problem is that Chu Qinghe keeps updating the poison in his yard. Who can defend against that?

After responding to the women, Chu Qinghe lightly raised his right hand, and as his true energy circulated, some powder, enveloped by Chu Qinghe's true energy, entered Lianxing's mouth.

However, during this process, Chu Qinghe glanced at Lianxing's left hand peeking out from her sleeve out of the corner of his eye, then casually looked away and pulled over a thin blanket to cover Lianxing.

Only then did Chu Qinghe slowly stand up and walk outside.

"Let's go! She should wake up in about an incense stick's time."

Upon hearing what Chu Qinghe said, the three women glanced at Lianxing lying on the bed and then followed Chu Qinghe outside.

Perhaps because they knew Lianxing's identity, Qu Feiyan and the other two women did not show much discomfort about having another person in their family and continued their cultivation.

Only Chu Qinghe glanced at the room where Lianxing was, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"You've come at the right time; we can play this new game tonight."

However, when Chu Qinghe turned his gaze away from the room where Lianxing was, he glanced around the courtyard again and frowned slightly.

Excluding the storage room and kitchen, there are only ten rooms in Chu Qinghe's courtyard.

Now, including Lianxing who came today and Dongfang Bubai who went out, there are only two rooms left unused in Chu Qinghe's house.

However, upon further reflection, Chu Qinghe dismissed the thought.

After all, Lianxing is just a sister-in-law, not a permanent resident like Dongfang Bubai or Yaoyue.

Staying here temporarily is fine.

……

After an incense stick had burned, and as the sunlight began to turn a bit more dim, Lianxing, who had previously fainted from poisoning, slowly opened her eyes after her eyelashes trembled twice. Her eyes were filled with a sense of confusion and bewilderment.

But the next second, as the confusion in her eyes faded, what quickly filled Lianxing's eyes was solemnity and surprise.

"Poisoned?"

Almost as soon as the thought formed in her mind, Lianxing instinctively sat up.

True energy rapidly surged from the dantian and circulated throughout the body, causing the body to tense up instantly.

After a few breaths, once the true energy had circulated smoothly for a full cycle and everything was confirmed to be alright, Lianxing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, listening to the faint sounds coming from outside, Lianxing thought for a moment and then slowly stood up.

But when she got up, she glanced at the thin blanket scattered on her bed, frowned, turned around and folded the blanket neatly, then moved the pillow on the bed slightly to the left by an inch, so that the spacing between the two sides of the pillow was almost the same, before nodding in satisfaction and turning around.

When the door was opened, the first thing that came into view was Qu Feiyan, Xiao Zhao, and Lin Shiyin.

After taking in the three women's appearances and figures, Lianxing paused for a moment before moving her gaze to the camellia tree.

Just then, a gentle breeze blew, causing the snow-white petals of the camellia tree in the courtyard to fall, and also ruffled Chu Qinghe's long hair.
