What happened to Lin Yingxin? She looked like she was possessed by a demon.
Wen Xinya's heart skipped a beat and sank heavily. An indescribable weird feeling filled her brain and could not be shaken off for a while.
At the same time, her brain was also working at high speed. As far as she knew, although Lin Yingxin was ambitious and greedy, she was also very scheming and resourceful, otherwise she would not have climbed to her current position. Like Xia Ruya, she was very good at disguising herself, hiding all her ambitions and calculations in her gentle, gentle and elegant temperament, without leaving any trace, in order to achieve the goal of gaining both fame and fortune.
The Thousand Gold Banquet is of vital importance to Lin Yingxin. How to make full use of the second Thousand Gold Banquet to achieve her ambitious and greedy goals is Lin Yingxin's calculation. How could such a woman become irritable and on the verge of collapse just because she won a few competitions at the Thousand Gold Banquet
Du Ruoxin was also very puzzled. Why did she have to remind herself that Lin Ying was in a bad mood
Did she know something? Or was there another reason
Xia Ruya and Lin Ying had planned to plot against her at the banquet, but apart from the tampered tea and pastries she drank, there has been no trace of their conspiracy so far. What was their plan
What kind of medicine was put in the tea and cakes she had eaten
Wen Xinya lowered her head. The tea and pastries in front of her had been replaced, as if all the secrets had been covered up with the replacement of the tea and pastries.
She finally understood why Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin, and even the owner of Boya Xuan, drugged her so blatantly.
Because, as long as they don't let her know about their plan, they will have a way to eliminate the evidence and make her suffer in silence.
Wen Xinya rubbed her forehead, feeling a little dazed.
Du Ruoxin looked at her pale face and said thoughtfully, "Your face is no better than Lin Yingxin's."
After saying that, he really ignored Wen Xinya and just kept eating cakes and drinking tea, as if he was indifferent to everything.
Wen Xinya took a deep breath, forced herself to cheer up, and looked towards Du Ruoxin: "Do you know something?"
She asked directly, almost without any concealment. Having been in contact with Du Ruoxin for a long time, she probably knew that Du Ruoxin liked a sharp and straightforward style and disdained hypocrisy.
Du Ruoxin held the tea and answered without raising her head: "It doesn't matter if you know or not, I won't tell you anyway."
Wen Xinya held her breath in her chest and couldn't let it out. Du Ruoxin's answer made even the most well-mannered person angry: "You are just being mysterious."
Wen Xinya admitted that she had a bad temper, but she also believed that she had good endurance. However, the endurance that she was proud of was completely useless when facing Du Ruoxin. This woman... always had a way to break the defense and endurance that you had worked so hard to build up.
Du Ruoxin sneered unceremoniously: "She got angry out of shame!"
Wen Xinya took a deep breath. It was simply impossible to communicate with this woman. She turned her face away and ignored her.
But Du Ruoxin is the type who won't give in even if she is right: "You only have this much mental quality."
Tolerate her, let her be, ignore her, don't be angry, Wen Xinya kept preparing herself mentally. She had never suffered any loss because of verbal abuse since she was a child, except for Si Yiyan of course. But Si Yiyan just liked to take advantage of her verbal abuse and tease her, he had never used words to hurt her like Du Ruoxin did.
Du Ruoxin chuckled happily, as if she was very happy to see Wen Xinya enduring such humiliation, and she seemed to be building her own happiness on the suffering of others.
The banquet of a thousand gold coins is still going on. With Wen Xinya and Zhu Yu in the front, the performances and competitions in the back are also quite interesting, but they have lost some of their charm and seem a bit dull.
There were a few women who stood out, but they did not seem that special under the gentle and elegant demeanor and proficiency in all four arts.
By half past three, there were no longer many women going to the pavilion in the middle of the lake to compete in arts or perform their talents, and the banquet was about to end.
At this time, Lin Yingxin smiled, and there was no trace of the previous madness on her face: "Today's banquet is quite unique. Next, why don't you let Miss Xia show us the art of making scented tea in public!"
Ever since she lost the painting competition, Xia Ruya had been sitting silently in her seat with her head slightly lowered. Only at this moment did she raise her head slightly. Her snow-white cheeks, with a delicate and pitiful look, were made even more delicate by the rose-red shawl.
Having just lost the painting contest with Wen Xinya, she had to get back 10% at all costs, otherwise she would not have the face to stay in the capital.
However, the young ladies in the audience seemed not to have heard it, and very few of them expressed their agreement.
Xia Ruya's face turned even paler, and for a moment she didn't know whether to sit or stand.
Lin Yingxin was also slightly stunned, and then explained: "The art of making scented tea originated in the Song Dynasty, began in the Ming Dynasty, and was perfected in the Qing Dynasty. It is a unique tea art in our country Z, and it can be said to have a long history. However, this unique tea art has gradually declined with the passage of time. Little did people know that scented tea is also a cultural treasure of the tea culture of Z country. The scented tea art mastered by Miss Xia originated from the techniques of the Song Dynasty. It is not only elegant and unique, but also has a profound heritage. It is worth seeing."
Xia Ruya bit her lip tightly and looked into the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
At this time, the owner of Boyaxuan laughed and said, "The tea ceremony inherited by Country Z combines Confucianism, health preservation, and self-cultivation. The way of scented tea is a branch of the tea ceremony and a way of health preservation. Not only are there many types of scented teas, but each has its own effects. Some scented teas can even prevent and cure diseases. It sounds quite magical. Miss Xia, please show us a few."
After the owner of Boyaxuan said this, several judges also expressed their interest.
Xia Ruya stood up, her snow-white face tinged with a smile, more like a unique red plum blossom, with a pure and innocent appearance, and even more terrifying and gorgeous demeanor: "In this case, I will show my ugliness."
Xia Ruya went up to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Wen Xinya was not surprised at all. Xia Ruya valued her reputation and loved to be in the limelight. Her reputation in the capital was already notorious. She participated in the Qianjin Banquet because she wanted to use it to clear her reputation. So she was bound to come forward to show herself.
And she had just been defeated miserably in the painting contest with her. With her habitual and capable personality, how could she just give up? She would take the opportunity to make up for the loss, which would be what she wanted.
She glanced at the owner of Boyaxuan in a very obscure way, with a thoughtful look on her face.
