The reason for this question is that she will eventually remember something, but it was just triggered by seeing the wine pot. Since coming here, she basically hasn't eaten or drunk anything, except for drinking a cup of wine during the ceremony. How could she get poisoned? Is it because of the wine?

Wenxin replied, "It was sent from home."

Feng Ruonan asked again, "Has the wine been checked?"

Wenxin said, "I saw the steward and his men carefully inspecting the food and supplies sent over here, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Feng Ruonan pondered for a moment. Her family was worried that the court would harm Shang Chaozong, so they must have carefully inspected everything. There shouldn't be a problem. According to reason, her family shouldn't treat her like this. So where did the problem lie?

She asked again, "Has the wine been touched by anyone else?"

Both shook their heads. Wenxin said, "I don't know about the wine for other guests, but the wine sent to the bridal chamber was the best. It was delivered directly to us and didn't pass through anyone else's hands."

Feng Ruonan said in a low voice, "Are you sure no one else has touched it?"

Both wondered what was going on. Could someone have poisoned the wine? They shook their heads again.

What's going on? Feng Ruonan wondered. Her gaze fell on the candlestick. She stood up slowly and walked over to it. She couldn't walk too fast because she had been injured by someone last night and had been chasing after him this morning in anger. When she arrived at the candlestick, she found that two big red candles had burned out and only the melted wax was left.

She peeled off a piece of wax and sniffed it in front of her nose, about to order someone to check it. Suddenly, Wenli exclaimed, "Miss, someone seems to have touched the wine."

Feng Ruonan turned around abruptly.

Wenxin was surprised. "Really?"

Wenli asked, "Don't you remember? Yesterday, that old man with a white beard stopped us from checking it, didn't he?"

Wenxin suddenly realized and nodded at Feng Ruonan to confirm it.

Feng Ruonan gritted her teeth and said, "Who is this old man with a white beard?"

Wenli said, "I don't know. He said he was the prince's guard."

When Feng Ruonan heard that he was from Shang Chaozong's side, she immediately asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

"Yesterday, when the two of us were carrying the wine over..." Wenli detailed what had happened at the time.

After listening, Feng Ruonan quickly walked over, picked up the wine pot, and sniffed the lid. She couldn't smell anything strange and looked inside. Most of the wine had spilled out, leaving only a small amount. She pushed the pot over to Wenxin and said in a heavy tone, "Drink it!"

"Eh..." Wenxin was surprised. She didn't know what Feng Ruonan was going to do. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the wine. But now, Feng Ruonan was acting so mysteriously that she was scared. However, she had no choice but to take the pot and pour the wine into her mouth. She nervously swallowed it down. Only a mouthful of wine was left in the pot.

Next is waiting. Feng Ruonan sat down on the bed, closed her eyes, and waited quietly, seeming to have calmed down. After the tea time passed, Wenxin suddenly made a weak voice, "Miss..."

Feng Ruonan suddenly opened her eyes and saw Wenli shaking and about to collapse. She saw her body go weak and sit down on the ground with a thud.

"Sister." Wenli exclaimed and hurriedly went to help her up.

Feng Ruonan also rushed over to check. Wenxin's limbs were soft and weak. Her eyes seemed to be dozing off and half-opened. She understood at a glance that this situation was no different from what happened last night. The wine was indeed problematic!

"Miss, what happened to Sister?" Wenli asked anxiously.

Feng Ruonan waved her hand, indicating that she should help Wenxin to the bed, and she also helped. After laying Wenxin on the bed, Feng Ruonan said to Wenli, "Don't worry, she's fine. Let me ask you, do you know the name of the old man?"

Wenli shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Feng Ruonan asked, "If you see him again, can you recognize him?"

Wenli nodded repeatedly and said, "I can recognize him."

Feng Ruonan muttered some harsh words that only she knew, and her mentality seemed to have changed. She began to look for her own clothes to wear.

In order to chase Shang Chaozong before, she had nothing inside and only wore this coat on her body. Such a thing was not something ordinary women dared to do in this era. She was really a woman who had been mixing with men for a long time...

At the magistrate's house, Feng Lingbo and Peng Yulan were having breakfast at the table, and someone was reporting the situation of Feng Ruonan's side.

After hearing that Feng Ruonan had chased Shang Chaozong with a sword early in the morning after kicking him out of the bridal chamber, the couple stared at each other with their chopsticks. They knew that their daughter was fierce, but they didn't expect her to be so fierce.

Feng Lingbo waved his hand to let the reporter leave, and smiled bitterly, continuing to eat.

Peng Yulan, on the other hand, looked worried and reached out to take away his chopsticks, "You fought last night and chased with a sword early in the morning. You've caused such a scene. How can you still eat?"

Feng Lingbo shrugged his shoulders and said, "What can we do? They are a couple's affairs, and it's difficult for a clean official to make a decision. We can't starve ourselves to death because of this. Moreover, the situation is very clear. Shang Chaozong is not your daughter's opponent at all. Your daughter won't suffer, and Shang Chaozong will be beaten up. What are you worried about?"

Peng Yulan widened her eyes and said, "What are you talking about? We can't keep going like this forever, can we?"

Feng Lingbo sighed, "Let me tell you, you shouldn't have let her practice martial arts in the first place. Fortunately, Shang Chaozong married her. If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't be able to withstand her fists and kicks. I'm afraid the groom would have been beaten to death by your daughter on their wedding night. That would be a real joke!"

Peng Yulan frowned and said, "What's the use of saying this now? Think about it. It would be strange if Shang Chaozong treats her well in the future."

Feng Lingbo said calmly, "Do you think it will be all right if they don't fight? You are clear about Shang Chaozong's purpose in marrying Ruonan. Don't worry, as long as he still relies on the Feng family, he dare not do anything to your daughter. We have people watching him, and he can't do anything. It's not a bad thing for Ruonan to keep her distance from him now. When the matter is resolved, it's not too late to teach your daughter how to live..."

At sunrise, in front of the flower bed, Niu You Dao bent down and carefully observed a flower he had never seen before. He picked a flower and examined it carefully.

Suddenly, a half-filled burlap bag was thrown at his feet with a bang. Niu You Dao turned his head and looked at Yuan Gang, who was standing in front of him, and asked, "What is this?"

Yuan Gang said, "See for yourself."

Niu You Dao kicked it with his toe. It was a small, granular substance. He put the flower in his ear and opened the bag. He saw that it was filled with small yellow grains. He held it in his hand and looked up in surprise, "Soybeans?"

He thought it was some rare and valuable item that Yuan Gang brought to show him, but it turned out to be just some beans.

Yuan Gang said, "This thing isn't grown much around here. I haven't seen or heard of it in Xiaomiao Village. It's one of the foods that was sent over from the prefecture yesterday. I asked the cook and he said that not many people grow soybeans around here because the yield is low. Most people haven't even tasted it."

Niu You Dao was doubtful and said, "Don't tell me you want to promote the cultivation of this thing or make the people in Xiaomiao Village grow it? If that's the case, I advise you to give up this idea. As you said, this thing has a low yield and people in chaotic times prioritize being fed. No one wants to grow something with low yield. It's useless to promote it. Let's save our energy."

Yuan Gang replied, "The cook said he's never heard of tofu. Why don't you make some?"

Niu You Dao knew how to cook with ready-made tofu, but he didn't know how to turn soybeans into tofu. However, he knew that Master Dao would know how to do it. Master Dao was always interested in traditional things and knew a lot about traditional techniques.

Niu You Dao was surprised when he found out there was no tofu. He looked at the bag of soybeans and sighed. After Yuan Gang mentioned it, he began to miss the taste of tofu. He also understood Yuan Gang's feelings. He nodded and said, "Let's talk about it another day. We're leaving tomorrow and there's no time to make it now."

While they were talking, Shang Shuqing arrived. Blue Ruoting had reminded her and she came over to see what the two were discussing so seriously. She was surprised to see that it was just soybeans.

Niu You Dao laughed and said, "The princess seems calm. It looks like there's nothing wrong on the prince's side."

Shang Shuqing asked, "Did you do the drugging?"

Niu You Dao knew that she already knew. He had done it too obviously, but he still shook his head and said, "It wasn't me."

Shang Shuqing said, "Master Dao, don't you want to know what happened before you deny it?"

Niu You Dao turned to Yuan Gang and asked, "Did I do something wrong?"

Yuan Gang knew that Niu You Dao wasn't talking about the drugging itself, but rather why they did it. He shook his head and said, "No."

Niu You Dao immediately turned back to Shang Shuqing and asked, "So, does the princess think I did something wrong?"

If Shang Shuqing said he did something wrong, it would be easier for him. He wouldn't need to say anything more. He would find a suitable opportunity to leave with Yuan Gang without saying goodbye. Everything he had done for Shang Chaozong's siblings was not for them. They weren't worth his loyalty and devotion. Why should he risk his life for resources that couldn't even be seen by the naked eye? It was a joke!

He didn't care which emperor ruled the country, nor did he care about the internal struggles of the royal family. He had never made a habit of sacrificing himself for others in this life or the last. The reason he stayed was because he had sent Yuan Gang to do something, but Yuan Gang felt guilty. He, as the one who gave the orders, couldn't shirk the blame. He was doing it for the sake of brotherhood. He didn't want his brother to feel indebted to others and carry that burden for the rest of his life. He stayed to help his brother make up for his losses.

He had already set up the game, paved the way, and built the bridge for the siblings. Yuan Gang owed them enough for that. If they thought that his help was a mistake, he would ask Yuan Gang, "We've done what we needed to do. If they don't appreciate it, do we still need to stay?" Once Yuan Gang understood, he would naturally lead him away from the center of the conflict.
