"If my wife has such a request, I will naturally comply."
Jin Beichen pulled Song Xia into his arms and only let go of her after a long while.
Song Xia's mouth was a little numb. She glanced at him and said, "I'm warning you, don't be so unrestrained at night, or you'll be sleeping in the next room for the next few days."
"I'll listen to you, my wife."
Jin Beichen looked like a well-behaved child.
Song Xia didn't argue with him anymore, and pulled him to sit down, saying, "Shangguan Rou came to my space to buy poison earlier. I sold her amoxicillin capsules and received a thousand taels of silver from her."
Jin Beichen: "..."
She's really something!
I came to my senses.
Jin Beichen opened his mouth and said, "She clearly wants to poison you, and you still..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Song Xia interrupted him, saying, "It's not poisonous, and besides, I've already ruined it."
Destruction has occurred.
Guan Rou will not give up on the problem.
Jin Beichen said to Song Xia, "But I'm afraid she won't just let it go like that."
"fine."
"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."
Song Xia was not afraid at all.
Jin Beichen held Song Xia's hand and said, "She is a woman who grew up in a wealthy family, and she is different from you. She has some methods that you can't imagine. You must be careful, and it's best not to meet her."
How could she not know what he was saying?
Song Xia calmly replied, "I also don't want to meet her, but I'm afraid it might not work out later. So, just in case, I plan to put on makeup every time I go out and change my appearance."
Modern makeup techniques are comparable to ancient disguise techniques, capable of completely transforming a person's appearance.
Jin Beichen was still worried.
"I'll still have Chang'an protect you in secret."
They had only been married for a few days.
The Prime Minister's residence sent an invitation, which was sent to Song Xia by someone from Shangguan Rou's grandmother.
She invited Song Xia to their home to admire the flowers.
When Jin Beichen found out, he said, "Wife, if you don't want to go, then don't go. I'll find an excuse to decline."
"Need not."
Song Xia turned to Jin Beichen and said, "If I don't go, people will think that your wife, Jin Beichen, is not presentable. It's okay, I will handle it carefully."
Cui Yunsu was also among those invited.
She didn't want to go at first, but she decided to go after learning that Song Xia was going.
That day.
She went with Song Xia.
The two were riding in a horse-drawn carriage.
When they saw that Song Xia had come with her, none of them dared to underestimate her and all went up to greet them.
When Shangguan Rou learned that Song Xia had arrived, she instructed Yuhe to have the other servants bring her the drugged tea.
Yuhe couldn't help but say, "Miss, I'm afraid this won't do. If she dies in our manor, General Jin will definitely investigate thoroughly."
"Didn't they say this drug makes people die without anyone knowing? If that's the case, what are we afraid of? Without evidence, what would Jin Beicheng dare to do to our family?"
Shangguan Rou said dismissively.
Yuhe couldn't dissuade her, so she could only do as she was told.
But unexpectedly.
Song Xia had guessed they would do this, so she didn't drink tea and had someone bring her plain water instead.
Why isn't she drinking tea? Could she be pregnant?
The more Shangguan Rou thought about it, the more convinced she became. While strolling in the garden together, she gave one of her maids a wink, and the maid pretended to fall and pushed Song Xia towards her.
However.
As if Song Xia had eyes in the back of her head, she stepped to the side at this moment, and the maid missed her target and fell straight into the artificial lake next to her.
"oops…"
Everyone was startled and retreated.
Shangguan Rou's grandmother glanced at Shangguan Rou and immediately ordered the maid following behind her to call for help.
After the maid was rescued.
Shangguan Rou's grandmother, Madam Ming, scolded her a few times and then had her taken away.
When it was just the two of them.
Ming said irritably, "Rou'er, Grandma knows you like Jin Beichen and want to marry him, but what you're doing is a bit too obvious. If people notice anything, you'll be in trouble."
"Grandma, I was just too anxious..."
Shangguan Rou said softly.
The words were spoken.
Shangguan Rou grabbed Ming's sleeve and said, "Grandma, please help me. I have never liked anyone like this before. I must marry him."
"When did I say I wouldn't help you? If I weren't helping you, would I have organized today's flower viewing party? Don't worry, her health will deteriorate tomorrow."
Ming did not elaborate.
Shangguan Rou was still overjoyed, because she knew that her grandmother was very resourceful.
Chang'an had come to eavesdrop on their conversation, but because he was far away, he didn't hear clearly. He only knew that after Ming Shi said something to Shangguan Rou, she laughed very happily.
He went back and reported what he had seen to Song Xia.
Song Xia narrowed her eyes and said, "You don't need to protect me here. Go and keep an eye on Grandma Shangguan Rou."
"good."
Chang'an responded and left.
Ming did nothing. After spending some time with Shangguan Rou, she invited the strolling crowd to her courtyard for tea.
During this time, she didn't do anything, and just chatted and laughed with Song Xia and the others.
When they were about to leave.
Ming called Song Xia and the others to a stop and told them that she had prepared gifts for them and asked them to wait a while before leaving.
Less than fifteen minutes.
Her men carried up a wooden box.
Put the wooden crate down.
Madam Ming instructed two of her maids to distribute the gifts to Song Xia and the others.
The gifts were all packaged in the same red boxes, but Song Xia had no idea whether the contents were the same, because she hadn't opened any of them to check.
Song Xia didn't even open it to look at it; he threw it into his spatial storage as soon as he got into the carriage.
Waiting for Jin Beichen to return.
Song Xia then went into the space with him to look at the box.
Jin Beichen saw her putting on gloves and trying to open it, so he stopped her: "I'll do it."
He struck out with his palm.
The lid of the box opened easily.
A jade hairpin came into their view.
The condition doesn't look very good, but it's not bad either.
Song Xia stared at it for a while and said, "Jin Beicheng, do you think there's anything wrong with this hairpin?"
"You'd better not wear it."
Jin Beicheng said.
Song Xia told him to put the lid on, and she filled a basin with water and threw the whole box, along with the jade hairpin, into the basin.
Bubbles started appearing inside in no time.
Then a strange wisp of white smoke appeared.
Jin Beichen pulled Song Xia away, and once the white smoke from the basin stopped, he asked Song Xia for a silver hairpin, held his breath, and went forward to test the poison.
Upon testing, the silver hairpin immediately turned black.
"There really is a problem!"
Song Xia didn't want to let it go so easily, so she pulled Jin Beichen aside and told him her thoughts.
After hearing this, Jin Beicheng said, "It's more like I'll go with you. I'm worried about you going alone."
"OK!"
Song Xia agreed.
The two of them tidied themselves up before leaving, without disturbing anyone.
