When the servant from the Wen Mansion came to report, Li Nian was planning the next arrangements in the study.
Hearing the maid's message, she curled her lips slightly and replied, "I understand. Did Second Miss Wen tell me the location and time?"
"He said he is waiting for Madam at Tianxiang Tower now!"
"Okay, I understand." After putting away the things on the table, Li Nian was quite surprised by Wen Luoqing's quick movements.
[System, exchange for a harmless poison]
[Host, are you sure you want to exchange ten years of your life value for a safe, harmless, environmentally friendly, and delicious poison produced by the system?]
The corners of Li Nian's mouth twitched, and he hummed softly.
[Ding Dong, the harmless poison exchanged by the host has been distributed. The host's remaining health is 88 years and 8 days.]
[It’s an auspicious number, perfect for today’s auspicious day] Li Nian swallowed the poison without hesitation.
"Burp!" The pill was too big and it hurt my throat a bit.
Li Nian, in a rare good mood, teased, "System, your pill needs improvement. It's a super-evolved being after all, so why isn't the pill's experience as good as ours?"
After waiting for a long time, there was no response from the system.
Li Nian didn't care. After all, this system had always been quite aloof. It was uncommon for it to occasionally say a few extra words of nonsense.
She took Xiaohong, the secret guard assigned to her by Xiao Yunyu, and rode in a carriage all the way to Tianxiang Pavilion.
Before, I thought Xiao Yunyu arranged a secret guard to follow her to monitor her, but later I found that Xiaohong listened to her very much, and would follow her when she asked him to and wait for her when she asked him to.
Li Nian adapted to it very well, and Xiaohong came in handy on this occasion today.
Tianxiang Pavilion is located in the center of the capital city. The surrounding area is extremely bustling. The wide bluestone-paved streets are lined with vendors shouting their wares.
When Li Nian arrived, Wen Luoxin had not arrived yet, so she ordered tea and pastries in advance.
Xiaohong was assigned by her to guard the door of the wing room.
Just after finishing the first snack, Wen Luoxin pushed the door open and walked in. She was wearing a moon-white brocade dress with an autumn-scented collar and silver embroidered patterns. She looked elegant and charming.
The two of them actually wore the same dress, but Yun Qiuwu's moon-white dress was more simple and elegant, almost a solid color, with only the cuffs and hem embellished with pomegranate red silk embroidery.
This was her least valuable set of clothes, and she was reluctant to let the other clothes get dirty.
When Wen Luoxin saw Li Nian's outfit, a hint of disdain flashed across her eyes.
Is Yun Qiuwu trying to imitate her? No matter how hard she tries, she still can't shake off her petty, unpresentable airs!
"Madam Xiao, how are you?" Wen Luoxin had a decent smile on her lips, and raised her head high like a proud hen.
Li Nian couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle. Although it was a bit strange to describe the heroine like this, her image was the best!
"Miss Wen, please take a seat."
Li Nian did not stand up to greet her, but raised his hand and asked her to sit down in a polite tone.
Wen Luoxin didn't expect her to be so disrespectful. She immediately stopped pretending to be dignified and polite. Her eyes turned cold and she asked, "What do you want from me?"
"I know you are reborn." Li Nian stared at her with his bright dark eyes and spoke bluntly.
Wen Luoxin froze suddenly, the sneer still on her face: "Oh, I don't know what you are talking about!"
Li Nian didn't expect her to admit it, so she continued, "I'm just really curious. In your last life, you married the man you loved, Xiao Yunyu. Why did you give him up and choose Xiao Yunchen in this life? Could it be that you got tired of playing with your older brother in your last life and wanted to switch to playing with your younger brother in this life?"
"Yun Qiuwu, what nonsense are you talking about!" Wen Luoxin was shocked and angry, and raised her voice unconsciously.
Li Nian curved her beautiful eyes and gave her a faint smile: "You know whether it's nonsense or not. Why don't you answer my question first? Why don't you want my husband? He is obviously very capable, and you even have a lovely child! Don't you love him very much?"
Wen Luoxin's eyes narrowed: "You are not Yun Qiuwu! Who are you?"
"Of course I'm Yun Qiuwu. Who else could I be? It's just that I know more, like who your master is, your child's name is Qi'er, and the poisons you developed... There's so much more, even more than you know yourself."
Wen Luoxin widened her eyes, a chill running up her spine, and the blood in her body seemed to freeze, freezing in place.
Li Nian picked up the teapot with her fingers, poured two cups of tea, and gently placed one of them in front of Wen Luoxin: "Let's have a drink and chat slowly?"
Wen Luoxin stared at her intently, her voice low and full of warning: "Who are you? What is your purpose?" After a moment's thought, she asked again, "Or do you want to get something from me? Or do you want to cooperate with me?"
Li Nian calmly drank a cup of tea and said slowly, "You are very smart. You guessed it right the first time."
Wen Luoxin felt relieved after hearing this and drank the tea in one gulp to quench her thirst and calm her nerves.
Li Nian watched her drink it, and her mood improved. "Isn't it delicious? I specially added the poison you developed into this drink. It's colorless and odorless. You know what the poison is, right? You didn't develop an antidote in your last life, but what about this one? Have you developed one yet?"
Wen Luoxin was startled again, and the tea went into her stomach. She couldn't vomit it out even if she wanted to: "You..." Thinking that she had developed an antidote, she sneered: "Haha, you drank this tea too, do you have an antidote?"
Li Nian said calmly: "I don't have any, I'm waiting for you to detoxify me!"
Wen Luoxin instinctively felt that her purpose was not what she said, so she frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Nian spat out a mouthful of blood, which instantly stained her moon-white clothes bright red.
