The other party's words really didn't leave Julie any face. At home, she always had her mother, butler, and a large group of people who wanted to help her with her plans. She only needed to be a well-behaved and excellent puppet. However, she never expected that her first time going out on her own would be so embarrassing.
Now, even a maid who isn't in the master's household looks down on her.
"So, is there any way to poison someone without them noticing, and without the academy investigating or discovering it?"
Julie looked coldly at the attentive Cage, only irritably fiddling with the green plants in the private room. She really didn't want to listen to the maid's nagging, so she simply left, just as Cage came to the door.
"You can't poison any of the maids you want. Everyone who lives in the academy is on file. Even if your servant dies a natural death, the academy will investigate."
Julie knew that Cage had misunderstood; she actually wanted to poison Lu Yulan. Although the maid was unpleasant to talk to, she was still useful. If Lu Yulan lived, her elective course credits would be out of the question.
I thought this person might be of some use, but who knew she was completely useless. "Didn't you say she was also your enemy? Now she's thriving in the academy, and you don't have any way to curb her arrogance, or better yet, make her disappear from the academy completely."
"Of course there is a way, but it needs the right timing. If Miss Julie wants to embarrass her, the next class will be the best opportunity. Doesn't she call herself a teacher? _?_ Then we'll cook a dish she can't make, record it, and upload it to the StarNet. Then..."
Julie's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected this guy to actually have a solution. "What kind of dish is it?"
"Cooking exotic beasts".
Cage was certain she would be utterly defeated, because it was no ordinary beast.
Are you sure?
Looking at Cage's confident demeanor, Julie felt that Lu Yulan was truly strange; with such confidence, she wondered if something might go wrong.
"Of course, if Miss Julie is worried, then I will stand up for her, how about that?"
She was waiting for Cage to say those words. She didn't want to argue with a low-class person in public, as it would be a loss of face. Only a merchant like Cage was a good match for someone like Lu Yulan, who was also of low class.

Making glutinous rice cakes is actually very simple, but the rice needs to be soaked overnight to absorb enough water, then steamed and mashed into cakes.
Boil brown sugar into a syrup, roast white sesame seeds and high-quality dried soybeans until cooked, grind them into a fine powder, and coat them with the powder when eating.
If you like it sweet, coat it with more syrup; if you don't, coat it with less. It's also delicious to eat the glutinous rice cake on its own.
The steamed rice grains are mashed one by one, losing their original plump white appearance and becoming a smooth, sticky, chewy, and elastic dough.
When you eat it, you can easily taste the sweetness of the maltose in the starch. It's the sweetness of the food, a subtle and captivating sweetness, just like a real beauty who is alluring but not seductive, beautiful without even realizing it.
It evokes the feeling of a lotus emerging from clear water.
Lu Yulan only prepared soaked rice and various utensils; as for the cooking method, she would teach it in class.
Looking at the large wooden tub next to the lectern, completely covered, the students in the classroom were somewhat bewildered. Could such a large tub really be used for bathing?
Julie, standing in the far corner, glanced at it and scoffed, "Ha, attention-seeking act. Does she really think she's the Empire's best gourmet?"
Knowing the truth, Cage didn't say much, but simply nodded in agreement.
