Shen Yijia did not feel that anything was wrong and let her hold her hand.

Apart from the first time she came to see Madam Zeng politely, Shen Yijia never went there again. She was afraid of trouble.

It was the same this time. After entering Liu Piaopiao’s courtyard, Liu Piaopiao brought her to her room.

“Look what I brought you.” Shen Yijia took the food box from Mo Yuan’s hand and took out the pastries inside.

Well, they were actually made of potatoes, but the patterns were different.

Liu Piaopiao smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits. “How did you know that I’ve been wanting to eat this for the past few days? I asked my chef to make it, but I keep feeling that the taste isn’t right.”

“I don’t know. This is all I have at home,” Shen Yijia said honestly.

Liu Piaopiao choked. She had almost forgotten that she could not be polite to this person.

Perhaps because she was really hungry, Liu Piaopiao stuffed a few pastries into her mouth.

Shen Yijia poured her a cup of tea and said, “Is there nothing to eat at home? Do you want me to send you some potatoes?”

Liu Piaopiao was amused by her and spat out the pastries in her mouth.

Shen Yijia was shocked and dodged, but she still got some potato on herself.

The air froze for a moment.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose.” Liu Piaopiao came back to her senses and apologized profusely.

“It’s fine.” Shen Yijia waved her hand and said seriously, “I’m serious.”

She didn’t have anything else, but she had enough potatoes.

“No need. I don’t lack food at home.”

Shen Yijia did not believe him. “Then why are you so hungry?”

Liu Piaopiao thought of what she had seen that night and her lips moved. She wanted to say something but hesitated.

In the end, she sighed and said, “Didn’t you ask me to lose weight?”

“But you don’t look too good.” Shen Yijia frowned. “Why don’t you stop losing weight?”

“I’m fine. I just didn’t sleep well yesterday.” Liu Piaopiao explained with a smile, “By the way, I’m going to the temple with my parents to offer incense on the 25th of this month. I’ll stay there for the night. Do you want to go?”

“A temple?” She hadn’t even known there was a temple here.

“That’s right. You haven’t been here for long, so you might not know. It’s on the mountain connected to Qingyuan Mountain. In the past, my mother and I had to go there every month or two. It’s halfway up the mountain. It’s tiring to walk up there. Speaking of which, my family’s charcoal-fired earth kiln is also in that area,” Liu Piaopiao explained.

Shen Yijia tilted her head and thought for a moment. Her beautiful husband seemed to be very busy these few days. She wondered if he had the time.

But if he didn’t go, she would have to be separated from him for two days and a night.

“I’ll go back and ask my husband if he’s going. If he’s going, I’ll go. Don’t wait for me. If I go there, I’ll look for you directly.”

Liu Piaopiao inexplicably froze. Thinking about how she was already at the age of marriage, a handsome face appeared in her mind.

She blushed and hurriedly shook her head to get rid of those distracting thoughts. She said gloomily, “Alright then.”

At this moment, she still did not know that inviting Shen Yijia along would be the most regretful decision she had ever made in her life.

Every time she thought about it in the future, she wondered if she should hate Shen Yijia more or herself.

On the roadside tea shed that was half a day away from the capital of Great Xia, a carriage stopped.

There were three horses tied up outside the tea shed, and two tables of guests inside, all men.

When the people heard the sound, they all looked over. Such a carriage was rare even in the capital.

Most of those young ladies from wealthy families were quiet and gentle. They rarely acted so high-profile. Of course, there were some arrogant and domineering exceptions.

At first, they were attracted by the sound of the bell, but when they saw the white-robed woman driving the carriage, they exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted. The woman driving the carriage jumped out and turned around to help a girl in red down.

There was a fiery red flower bud on the woman’s forehead, and a translucent veil was faintly visible, unable to hide her talent.

Her hand on the white-robed woman’s arm was slender and long, and her skin was as fair as jade. Just looking at her slightly upturned beautiful eyes could make one fall into them.

Compared to this woman, they felt that the white-robed woman who had stunned them just now was nothing.

Someone coughed lightly. The burly men who were engrossed came back to their senses and looked at each other before quickly looking away.

This tea shed was simply built with straw to provide a shelter for passers-by. It was naturally simple.

Mo Yu sized up the tables and chairs in the tea shed and frowned. She took out a handkerchief and placed it on a chair before helping her young master sit down.

Then, she took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the table. After wiping it, she casually threw the handkerchief aside.

When the shopkeeper saw this, embarrassment flashed across his dark face.

However, it was obvious that this lady was either rich or noble. He did not dare to be negligent. With a smile on his face, he bent over and asked, “May I know what you want to order?”

Actually, he only had a large bowl of thick tea here for people to warm themselves up.

The shopkeeper was so nervous that he moved the tea set over. He only reacted after asking.

Fortunately, Mo Yu did not have much hope in this place. She slammed the two water bags on the table and said coldly, “Two bowls of plain water and fill the water bags.”

The shopkeeper agreed and left with the water bags. Soon, he returned with two bowls of water and said in fear, “I’ll pour the water into the water bag when you leave later, in case the water gets cold.”

Mo Yu nodded indifferently.

The woman in red glanced at the water in front of her and said softly, “Kill him.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a silver needle flew out of Mo Yu’s hand. The shopkeeper fell to the ground before he could react.

The people at the other two tables were shocked. They pulled out their swords and surrounded the two of them.

This time, there was no need for Mo Yu to attack. The woman in red waved her sleeve, and a strange fragrance instantly appeared in the air.

The seven to eight burly men trembled and spat out blood as they fell to the ground.

“Using poison on me? What a joke.” The woman in red’s voice was as round as a pearl and as smooth as jade. Her pace of speech was still neither fast nor slow.

However, the few people who fell to the ground were in no mood to appreciate it. They felt as if ten thousand insects were gnawing at their flesh bit by bit.

The pain was extreme, but they could not faint. They had no choice but to feel it clearly.

This was originally a crooked shop. Their usual method was to drug people who drank tea.

The rich would be robbed and killed, and the beautiful would be sold.

Of course, they would also choose people. They did not dare to attack those who looked like they were not to be trifled with.

It was precisely because they had always been cautious that they had never been discovered. This was because anyone who fell for it was either dead or sold elsewhere.

However, they did not expect to fall into the hands of two women today.

At first, their eyes, nose, and ears were filled with blood.

The scene was terrifying, but the two of them pretended not to see it and let them wail.

“I’ll go get two bowls of water,” Mo Yu said.
