"Ruoyan is here." An Shi looked at Yun Ruoyan with a smile, "Quick, come and sit."

"I heard that my grandmother was coming, so I came to join in the fun, isn't my grandmother here yet?" Yun Ruoyan asked with a smile.

"Oh, grandma was going to come at first, but when she got out of Xianglan Garden, she was dizzy from the heat, so she went back." Yun Ruoyao said.

"Oh, that's it." Yun Ruoyan still smiled like a flower, facing An's and said, "Mother, it's very hot today, and there is no wind at all. Why do you want to cool off here?"

"Hey!" Anshi sighed, "Isn't that girl Ruoyu?"

She spoke and looked at Yun Ruoyu, who had been bowing her head in silence, and continued: "I heard from their sisters that Ruoyu made you unhappy in this lake pavilion on the night when the prince was a guest. In the past few days She has been pestering me to find an opportunity to resolve the rift between you sisters."

An shi picked up a cup of herbal tea on the table and handed it to Yun Ruoyan, who held it in her hands for a moment before putting it back on the stone table.

"They're all my sisters, so don't be too surprised." She smiled faintly.

"You don't blame it on your generosity, but if you offend the eldest sister, there's nothing wrong with not apologizing." An's tone became serious, "Our Yun family has always been strict in family management, this is the rule."

As soon as An's words fell, Yun Ruoyu stood up, walked in front of Yun Ruoyan, lowered her eyebrows and said with a nod: "Sister, it was my sister who was too impulsive that night and almost hurt her."

As she spoke, she turned around and took the celadon lotus tea cup from the girl beside her, and handed it to Yun Ruoyan: "This is the candied bayberry soup that Ruoyu specially made for my sister. If my sister really doesn't blame me, then take a sip." Bar."

She was talking in her mouth, her eyes were looking at the teacup in her hand, a pure white lotus flower was depicted on the teacup, and a bright red dragonfly was parked on the lotus petals.

Yun Ruoyu couldn't help but recall that night, when An Shi put a small bottle of the same bright red color in her hand.

"This is a poison produced in the west of Wu State. It is called Fulan Hongchen. If people eat it, it will not kill people immediately, but the toxin will slowly penetrate into the internal organs of the person. It will overflow the body surface within ten hours. Redness, swelling and itching will slowly cause the whole body to fester, and after half a month at most, they will die like a puddle of mud."

After hearing An's introduction, Yun Ruoyu immediately felt that the red bottle in her hand was burning hot, burning her palms.

"The birthmark on that girl's face had festered before, and even if it's healed now, it has left a scar, which is the most fragile and sensitive part of all the skin on her body."

An's is very calm and clear, "Once the poison occurs, the toxin will definitely spread from the birthmark scar on her face, and even she herself will think it is a problem with the birthmark, and no one else will be able to find out. so you don't have to be nervous."

"Just remember, this medicine is very poisonous, once it gets on your body, it will leave scars!" An finally emphasized.

"Ruoyan, if you don't drink, you won't forgive Ruoyu."

Seeing that Yun Ruoyan didn't intend to take the teacup, An Shi sighed and said, "If this is the case, the mother will have to punish her with family law, so that you, the elder sister, can calm down."

Yun Ruoyan smiled, raised her hand but still did not pick it up, but brushed her temple hair, and said indifferently: "Then mother will punish her."

An Shi didn't expect her to answer like this, so she just froze, not knowing how to answer.

"If mother has nothing else to do, Ruoyan will leave first."

After Yun Ruoyan finished speaking, she got up and was about to leave. Yun Ruoyu was in a hurry, and she did so with great determination. And the flower viewing feast is about to begin, if she misses this time, she will have no chance.

"Sister Ruoyan." Yun Ruoyu hurriedly chased after Yun Ruoyan with a cup of tea in her hand.

However, Yun Ruoyan seemed to know that she would come after her, and suddenly turned around, the gauze clothes on her body twirled in an arc, faintly exuding fluctuations of spiritual power.

Yun Ruoyu suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing against her face, and the teacup she was holding firmly in her hand suddenly came out for some reason, and turned over towards her body.

In the next moment, all the cold and sticky soup was poured into Yun Ruoyu's neck.

"Ah~"

A cry of surprise came from Yun Ruoyu's mouth, and it spread far away in this sultry and quiet afternoon.

Sitting on a soft sedan chair, Mrs. Liu was carried by someone and had just entered the garden gate when she heard this shrill cry. She couldn't help frowning and looked at Shao Yao, who was holding an umbrella for her.

Just now, when Mrs. Liu woke up from her lunch break, Shao Yao went to her yard, saying that her young lady wanted to invite her grandmother to watch a play at the Huxin Pavilion in the back garden. Mrs. Liu didn't ask anything, and just followed. She didn't expect to listen to the play before she saw it.

"Mother, mother, wipe it on me quickly, it's stuck to my skin." Yun Ruoyu jumped and jumped, cried and screamed, and ran towards Anshi.

"Don't come here, don't come here." An's face changed drastically in fright, and she hurriedly avoided.

"Sister, save me quickly, I don't want scars, I don't want scars!" Yun Ruoyu ran towards Yun Ruoyao again.

"No, no, don't come here, don't come here!" Yun Ruoyao was also chased by Yun Ruoyu with a pale face, circling around the pillars of the pavilion.

"Second Miss, Second Miss, what's wrong with you?"

All the girls who didn't know why were also startled by this scene. For a while, the pavilion in the center of the lake was full of chickens and dogs, chasing each other, it was very lively.

"What happened!"

Mrs. Liu hadn't seen such a scene in her backyard for many years, so she couldn't help but angrily said. She usually doesn't speak loudly, but this one was so loud that everyone in the pavilion was stunned.

"Grandmother, save me!" Yun Ruoyu saw that Mrs. Liu seemed to have seen the straw to save her life, turned around and ran towards Mrs. Liu.

With her hands behind her back, Yun Ruoyan swept in front of her in two steps, raised her foot and kicked her in the heart.

Yun Ruoyu only felt a strong force hit her chest, but she didn't feel any pain, but her body flew up involuntarily.

"Plop." The next moment, she fell into the lake.

...

In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Mrs. Liu was sitting on a stone bench, while Yun Ruoyu was kneeling on the ground with her wet clothes.

"Grandmother, please call the doctor to save me!" Yun Ruoyu only felt that the spot on her chest that was stained with soup was itchy, and couldn't help but want to scratch it.

At this time, Yun Ruoyu's clothes were soaked, her hair was in a mess, and she kept grabbing her chest, her shape was very ugly.

Mrs. Liu looked at her so unappreciatively, so she ordered Xiaolan to find a doctor, then looked at Anshi with her eyes, and asked in a cold voice, "Tell me, what's going on!".

"Mother, I don't know either!" Anxious and puzzled, she said that she only called the two daughters here because she wanted to clear up the rift between them, and she didn't know what happened. In a few words, I completely wiped myself out.

Yun Ruoyu's chest was itchy, her heart was terrified, she looked at her mother who had always loved her so much with teary eyes, but she didn't dare to expose it.

She has always been strong-tempered since she was a child, and her own mother couldn't protect her, so she has always lived under An's wing. She couldn't imagine how she would gain a foothold in the big Yun family without An's protection and Yun Ruoyao's help.

"Ruoyu, tell yourself, what's going on?" Mrs. Liu asked Yun Ruoyu again.

Yun Ruoyu was lying on the floor shivering, speechless.

"Sister Ruoyu, just admit it." At this moment, Yun Ruoyao who was on the side suddenly said, "Grandmother, Ruoyu was just confused for a while, so please forgive her."

Yun Ruoyu turned her head to look at her good sister, all the feelings in her heart turned into tears rolling down, she still clenched her teeth and did not say a word.

"Okay, if she doesn't say it, you say it!" Shi Liu said to Yun Ruoyao.

Yun Ruoyao took a look at Yun Ruoyu, became ruthless, and said slowly: "Yesterday, sister Ruoyu asked me to tell me that she got an interesting thing and wanted to show me." She paused when she said this.

"What is it?" Liu continued to ask.

"That's right, it's just a red bottle, which said it contained medicinal powder that would make people feel itchy." Yun Ruoyao said, "I didn't expect that she would put the medicinal powder into the soup and give it to sister Ruoyan. I just wanted to play tricks on Sister Ruoyan."

"Oh, is that right, the medicinal powder that makes people itchy?" Yun Ruoyan smiled coldly, "Where is the medicinal powder now, can sister Ruoyu show me?"

"No, no more." Yun Ruoyu raised his head and stammered, "It wasn't much, it's all used up."

Yun Ruoyu sneered in her heart, but she reacted quite quickly, and made her a death sentence.

"Grandmother, Ruoyu knew she was wrong." Yun Ruoyu cried and knelt down to Mrs. Liu's knee, "Ruoyu won't dare to play tricks on others next time."

"Is there a next time?" Liu's face was livid, "It seems that I have been too indulgent with you all the time, and dared to drug my sister-in-law. Prescribing life-threatening medicine?!"

"Ruoyu doesn't dare, Ruoyu doesn't dare!" Yun Ruoyu crawled on her stomach, her hands kept scratching her neck, and within a short while, the originally slender and slender neck was covered with streaks of blood.

"Mother, Ruoyu is young and ignorant." An Shi pleaded, "She has also suffered the consequences of her own misfortune. Please calm down, old man, and let her go this time."

"Hmph, it's all because of you as a mother." Mrs. Liu glanced sideways at Mrs. An, "She didn't hurt me, she meant to hurt Ruoyan, go and ask Ruoyan if she would spare her!"

"Ruoyu, don't beg your sister-in-law for mercy!" An said to Yun Ruoyu.

Although Yun Ruoyu was unwilling in every possible way, she turned around, knelt down to Yun Ruoyan, and said something that didn't fit her heart, "Sister, my sister is young and stubborn, so please spare her."

Yun Ruoyan smiled lightly, her eyes swept An's and Yun Ruoyao intentionally or unintentionally, she said slowly: "It's not just once or twice that you tease me like this, right? You think I'm a bully."

She turned to Mrs. Liu and said, "Grandmother, don't blame Ruoyan for being narrow-minded, it's just that the Yun family's family rules are strict. If they are so laissez-faire, what rules are there?"

"Mother, do you think so?" Yun Ruoyan's big clear eyes turned to An Shi again.

An's brows trembled involuntarily. These were her original words. Now that Yun Ruoyan asked her back, she couldn't help herself.

"Ruoyu went too far this time, but she is young after all, I hope mother will not hurt her flesh."

Yun Ruoyan glanced at Yun Ruoyu, looked at the bloodstains on her neck, and felt that the flesh and blood were not serious.

"Hey! Who told me to be my elder sister?" She sighed, and said to Mrs. Liu, "Let's punish younger sister Ruoyu and confine her in her own yard."

Liu patted Yun Ruoyan's hand, feeling that the punishment couldn't be any lighter.

"Okay, grandma will do as you please." She looked at Yun Ruoyan gratifiedly, "The time of the confinement is up to you to decide, and when you really calm down, the confinement will be lifted."

Yun Ruoyu's hand scratching her neck gave a sudden pause. If Yun Ruoyan can't calm down for the rest of her life, should she be imprisoned for the rest of her life

Just as she was about to speak, Anshi gave her a hard look, and her opened mouth had to be closed again.

"Grandmother, it's too hot here, Ruoyan will take you back to Xianglan Garden." Yun Ruoyan obediently supported Liu Shi and said.

"Okay, let's go back." Liu said with a smile: "You haven't been to my place for many days, you like the fruit I asked Xiaolan to give you."

"I like it very much. I still want to ask my grandmother to ask for some more to eat."

"Okay, I have a lot, you can eat as much as you want."

The grandfather and grandson left the pavilion together, and Yun Ruoyan felt several knife-like gazes piercing her back, so she straightened her back even more.

"If you want to harm me, you are all tender. In this life, I, Yun Ruoyan, are the only ones who will harm others. Let's just watch each one of you!"
