C61 Tasting

"It's really fragrant." Lin Ruo Yin looked at Lin Ruo Yun in surprise.

Lin Ruo Yun began to explain, "Because the cup was already warm, the tea inside the cup was already warm. At this moment, the fragrance of the tea will spread from the warm cup to the cup's mouth. That's why you can smell the fragrance of the tea. At the same time, it's also the time to distinguish good tea from bad tea. The fragrance of the good Longjing is refreshing, and it can last for a long time. The fragrance of the bad tea is strange, sometimes even rushing to the nose."

"There's so much knowledge. I don't even know about it." Lin Ruo Yin never pretended to understand, so she would never pretend to understand these things.

Next, Lin Ruo Yun poured the cold water into the teacup. She only poured a third of the water into the cup. Then, she gently shook the cup and handed it to Lin Ruo Yin, "Now you can drink it."

Lin Ruo Yin took the teacup and was about to drink it when she saw Lin Ruo Yun's expectant gaze. She felt that something was wrong, so she pretended to take a sip and said, "Mmm, it's really good tea."

When Lin Ruo Yun heard this, she thought that she had really drunk it. She felt a little guilty and panicked, so she suddenly said, "Look at my memory. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first."

"Second Sister, wait." Lin Ruo Yin suddenly called out to her.

Lin Ruo Yun had a guilty conscience. She did not dare to stay any longer. She turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Ruo Yin knew that she must have been asked to do this by someone. She knew who it was. Seeing that she was about to leave, Lin Ruo Yin did not want to keep her here any longer. She said, "Since you are in such a hurry, let me send the tea set to you after I finish drinking it."

"That's great." Lin Ruo Yun left in a hurry.

After Lin Ruo Yun left, Lin Ruo Yin quickly asked Hong Mei to take out the silver needles. Hong Mei did not dare to delay. She quickly took out the silver needles and placed them in the teacup. When she took them out again, the tips of the needles had already turned black.

"It really is poisonous!" Lv Yu exclaimed.

Lin Ruo Yin frowned and poured all the tea into the teapot. Then, she walked out of the room with the teapot and splashed it on a big tree in the courtyard.

"Hong Mei, send the tea set back to Lin Ruo Yun." Lin Ruo Yin was really angry this time.

She did not expect that Lin Ruo Yin would really poison her. These people were too much.

Hong Mei tidied up the tea set and hurried to Second Miss's room.

"Miss, we must not let this matter go. We will find Grand Lady to help you." Lv Yu's face was also full of anger. When she thought about how the young lady almost drank the tea just now, she felt a wave of fear.

Lin Ruo Yin did not plan to tell Grand Lady about this. Firstly, it was impossible for Lin Ruo Yun to have planned to poison her. Even if she did, with Lin Ruo Xi's cunning mouth, she would definitely be able to explain it. This was not what she wanted. Secondly, she did not want to alert the enemy.

"No one is allowed to bring up this matter again." Lin Ruo Yin looked in the direction of Lin Ruo Xi's courtyard. It seemed that she couldn't wait to get rid of her.

Hong Mei carried the tea set and came to Lin Ruo Yun's courtyard. Coincidentally, Lin Ruo Xi was there too. She looked at Hong Mei's calm appearance and felt puzzled. Could it be that the powder was really not poison?

"My family's young lady specially ordered me to return the tea set. Thank you for your hospitality, Second Miss." Hong Mei handed the tea set to Cui Ping and took a step back.

"Is your Miss okay?" Lin Ruo Xi couldn't help but ask.

Hong Mei pretended not to understand Lin Ruo Xi's words. She raised her head and blinked her eyes. She asked, "I wonder what Eldest Miss means?"

It seemed that Lin Ruo Yin was really fine. Lin Ruo Xi was extremely disappointed, but she still smiled and said to Hong Mei, "It's nothing. I just wanted to ask."

"Your servant thank Eldest Miss for her concern. My family's young lady is very good. I still have to go back and serve her. I'll take my leave first." After Hong Mei finished speaking, she bowed and left.

After Hong Mei left, Lin Ruo Xi turned around and asked Lin Ruo Yun, "Are you sure you didn't get discovered?"

Lin Ruo Yun thought about it carefully and shook her head. "I had already mixed the powder with the tea leaves and brought it over. There was no flaw in the entire process of making tea. I even saw her drink the tea with my own eyes. How could that be?"

In fact, Lin Ruo Yun did not see it clearly because she had a guilty conscience. After Lin Ruo Yin finished drinking the tea, she did not put down the teacup and kept it in her hand. That was because she did not even touch the cup of tea.

"Miss, Miss, it's bad." Qing He shouted from outside the courtyard.

Lin Ruo Xi stopped her and asked, "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Qing He stood in front of Lin Ruo Xi and panted for a while. After calming down a little, she said, "Miss, Third Miss did not drink the tea at all. She splashed the entire pot of tea on a big tree."

"What?" Lin Ruo Xi's face turned gloomy. She turned around and glared at Lin Ruo Yun. She already knew that Lin Ruo Yin knew that the tea was poisonous, but how did she know? She even asked Hong Mei to return the tea set. What was she planning?

Just as Lin Ruo Xi was lost for words, the mama beside First Lady came over. After seeing Lin Ruo Xi, she bowed slightly and said, "Eldest Miss, Madam has invited you."

Lin Ruo Xi was still angry. When her mother found her, she casually asked, "Mother, what is it? If it's not something important, please tell me when I pay my respects tonight."

"Madam has said that this matter is urgent, Eldest Miss, please make a trip immediately." The mama lowered her head, but her tone was unquestionable.

Lin Ruo Xi vaguely thought of something. Could it be that... she didn't dare to delay any further, so Lin Ruo Xi quickly followed the mama and left.

After Lin Ruo Xi left, Lin Ruo Yun felt his entire body go limp. Luckily, Cui Ping was there to support him. Looking at the tea set, Lin Ruo Yun felt his heart palpitate. He ordered, "Quickly throw the tea set away."

It was better to not see it, lest she could not rest in peace.

Lin Ruo Xi followed the mama and quickly arrived at First Lady's courtyard. Without reporting to anyone, she entered the room. As soon as she entered, she saw First Lady pacing back and forth in the room, looking anxious and worried.

"Mother, your daughter is here." Lin Ruo Xi bowed.

First Lady stopped and turned around to look at Lin Ruo Xi. Just as she was about to speak, she glanced at the mama behind her and said, "All of you, go down. You are not allowed to come in without a summons."

"Yes." The mama brought the little girl down and walked at the back, not forgetting to close the door.

When only the mother and daughter were left in the room, the First Lady did not beat around the bush. She directly took out her makeup and asked, "Did you take the medicine powder?"
