Looking at Shen Nian's face, which looked so gloomy that it could drip water, Xia Tian finally broke the silence. "So, two hours from now is exactly when you will be off duty. It seems that they are going to attack you on your way home today."
Today is Laba Festival, and it is customary for everyone in the Marquis' Mansion to have lunch together. It is indeed easier to do it today.
After all, Shen Nian usually doesn't come back at noon when he is on duty, so it is not easy to poison him. The poison will not take effect until two hours after drinking it, so it will be easily discovered if you drink it too early. Besides, the poison will be automatically resolved after three hours, so it will be useless if you drink it too early.
Today the timing was just right. I drank it at noon, and when the poison took effect it was time to get off duty, so it was just the right time to take action on the way.
After hearing this, Mu Feng went out to find Mu Lin.

In order to prevent the porcelain bottle from breaking during the fight, he took a water bag filled with diluted spiritual spring water and asked him to hang it on the saddle.
Now that she knew the approximate time they would take action, Shen Nian did not delay any further and emphasized to Xia Tian that she should stay in Jinglan Garden today and not go anywhere, in case someone attacked her.
Two people were left to secretly watch Jinglanyuan.

Xia Tian also returned to Jinglan Garden and asked the servants to close the gate of Jinglan Garden and not open it for anyone who came today.
In the afternoon, Xia Tian was counting the time and was very nervous.
I always feel that time is passing so slowly today!
I finally waited until the time when Shen Nian would get off work and go home, but no matter how long I waited, no one showed up.
Ningxiang saw that Xia Tian was anxious, so she sent everyone out of the room and waited alone.
He didn't even tell Ningxue about this, for fear that too many people would know and the news would leak out.
Just as Xia Tian was getting impatient, the courtyard gate opened and the servant who was sent by Ningxiang to guard the gate ran in in a panic.
