Shi Qinglan chuckled and said nothing.
She and Shen Qingyin were sitting in the living room chatting casually. Bo Yucheng went to the bedroom to take off his coat, then rolled up his cuffs and washed some fruit for Shi Qinglan, cut it into small cubes and put it on the fruit plate.
"Eat some fruit." The man's deep voice sounded.
Shi Qinglan raised her eyes to look at him, with a smile as bright as a flower and she bent her eyes, "By the way, Acheng, help me bring the tea cake!"
"Tea cake?" Bo Yucheng couldn't help but frown slightly.
Shi Qinglan's red lips curled slightly, "Yes, it's the white tea cake that Miss Shen Qingyin specially sent to us in the morning."
Hearing this, Bo Yucheng's eyebrows raised slightly.
Shi Qinglan blinked and signaled to the man, and he could only turn around to get it. He didn't know what kind of medicine the little girl was selling in the gourd.
"Miss Shen, this tea cake must be very troublesome to make. I haven't opened it yet and tasted it. Why don't we eat it together?" she asked.
Bo Yucheng had previously suspected that something was added to the white tea.
She used silver needles to test but it was not poisonous, but there are many medicines that cannot be tested with silver needles. She would like to try again...
"Okay." Shen Qingyin readily agreed.
She didn't mean to shirk anything, her eyes were so clear that she didn't even feel guilty, and she didn't seem to be panicked by it.
Shi Qinglan looked at her expression calmly, but found that there was no emotional change... Is it really not poisonous? Or is it just a ploy to give away white tea twice
Bo Yucheng quickly brought the food box over.
Shen Qingyin's eyes lit up when she saw the food box, "Goddess, I specially made a lot of different flavors and shapes. Although they are all white tea cores, there are also other ingredients. I just have this opportunity. Let me introduce them to you. ah!"
"Okay." Shi Qinglan responded with her red lips slightly curved.
As Shen Qingyin spoke, she opened the food box and introduced to Shi Qinglan one by one the flavors inside, as well as some of the production techniques...
Bo Yucheng also sat down next to the two of them calmly.
He looked at Shen Qingyin with a deep look in his eyes, and at the same time he was worried about what would happen if he was not there.
Regardless of whether the white tea cake was poisoned or not, he would never let Shi Qinglan take the risk of trying it. He couldn't afford the risk!
"Fortunately, I made two portions of each." Shen Qingyin smiled, "Otherwise, if I ate any of the flavors, I would feel regretful if the goddess didn't taste them."
Shi Qinglan chuckled, "Then which one should we try first?"
"This! My favorite peach blossom white tea cake!" Shen Qingyin gently picked up a peach blossom-shaped pastry and shook it gently in front of Shi Qinglan, "Goddess, since you invited me to eat with you, Then I won’t be polite!”
"Well, you're welcome." Shi Qinglan responded.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Shen Qingyin. She saw that she took a bite of the pastry without hesitation, with some bits of crumbs on her lips, and slurred, "Oh, it's delicious!"
She ate the pastry and swallowed it with great pleasure.
Shi Qinglan's eyebrows moved slightly... She did this to test whether there was poison in the pastry. After all, Shen Qingyin knew clearly that if it was poisonous... she would definitely find an excuse to shirk it and not eat it so readily.
In doing so, she proved that there was no poison in the cake.
Shen Qingyin ate happily, "Goddess, don't you want to try it?"
"I often do." Shi Qinglan lowered his eyes and picked up a pastry, then hesitantly rubbed it twice with his fingertips.
Even though Shen Qingyin did this, she still remained vigilant deep down, thinking about other possibilities...
"Lan Lan." At this time, the man's voice suddenly sounded.
Bo Yucheng leaned over, put his chin against the girl's neck, and rubbed it twice, "I want to taste it too."
Hearing this, Shi Qinglan immediately cast her gaze at the man.
There was a slight wave in her eyes, and she looked at Bo Yucheng with a frown - he wanted to protect herself from the poison again!
But of course Shi Qinglan could not allow this to happen.
She directly stretched out her hand and pushed the man away, "Don't try to snatch my tea cake when you are hungry. This is made by my little fan. I can't bear to eat it myself. I have to treasure it."
Shi Qinglan put down the cake in her hand as she spoke.
She wasn't stupid enough. She was just testing Shen Qingyin. She couldn't risk her life when she had doubts.
"Pfft—" Shen Qingyin couldn't help but chuckle.
She couldn't help but make a joke, "I didn't expect the goddess to look at the cakes I made like this. Seeing that neither of you are willing to eat them, you still rush to eat them, as if I have poisoned them."
Of course, Shen Qingyin is not stupid, otherwise how could she have pretended to be so secretive until now? On the contrary, she is smart.
She came here specially to deliver drugged white tea one day, and delivered white tea cakes the next day. If it were herself, she would have doubted whether there was something wrong with this excessive attentiveness.
She was not sure if Qinglan would test...
But just in case, she didn't put any medicine in the white tea cake she sent this time. If she encounters temptation, it will increase her trust!
"Poison?" Shi Qinglan raised his eyes slightly, "I really haven't thought about that, but now that Miss Shen has reminded me... I will have to pay more attention to the things you send in the future!"
"Goddess, you just love to joke." Shen Qingyin pursed her lips.
She just mentioned poisoning on purpose just as a test, to see if she had doubts about herself...
Judging from Shi Qinglan's reaction, she seemed to believe in herself.
The two women were feeling uneasy while eating a tea cake. Bo Yucheng was sipping his tea slowly beside him, "Miss Shen, it's getting late, and it's time for Lan Lan to rest."
"Yeah." Shen Qingyin nodded quickly and stood up.
She put her hands behind her back, tilted her head playfully and said, "Then I won't disturb the goddess and Master Bo today!"
As she said this, she waved her hand and turned away from the Qingyu Case.
Seeing Shen Qingyin's figure gradually fade out of sight, the smile on Shi Qinglan's lips dropped, "I can keep my composure quite well."
"Indeed." Bo Yucheng's eyes darkened slightly.
He looked down at the open food box. The tea cakes inside were almost intact, except for one peach blossom which was eaten by Shen Qingyin.
Shi Qinglan pinched a piece of tea cake and said meaningfully, "Is it because she didn't take any medicine, or... only the one she ate was not poisonous."
She couldn't give this answer, and the temptation ended here.
Shen Qingyin was relieved after leaving the Qingyu case, and her playful look disappeared instantly, "I knew it."
She knew that Shi Qinglan couldn't be without a little suspicion.
Sure enough, I still tested her, and luckily she didn't put any medicine in today's food box. It seems that she will have to change her approach next time...
Although Shi Qinglan did not show the slightest suspicion, her actions showed that she was alert. She should be more careful in her subsequent actions, at least not to put drugs in her food.
