"Are you OK?"

Rong Dan wanted to grab Yun Nian's hand eagerly, but when it was about to touch the wound, he quickly hid his hand in his sleeve.

"Are you...are you okay?"

She asked again, but her expression became tangled, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably, as if she was having a huge psychological struggle.

Yun Nian's eyes passed through her sleeves, and the gentleness in her pupils became a little more.

She pressed her wound with one hand, looked at the others who were somewhat surprised and flustered, especially Rong Yang who looked extremely nervous, and said lightly,

"I am fine."

The woman who broke the zither strings seemed to be frightened to death. According to Yun Nian's arrogance and fearlessness, even Princess Rongyang didn't dare to say anything.

She caused such a big disaster, and she didn't know what kind of punishment she would receive.

But she was trembling, but Yun Nian just stood up.

"I'm sorry, I'm injured and need to rest. You guys can continue to play at the Spring Banquet."

She turned around quickly, but Huo Daiyu was already prepared and took her and Shen Ningsi away from the woods, leaving only a group of women gathered there in a daze.

"You come as you please, and you leave as you please, Yun Nian, what on earth do you think my party is?"

Rong Yang stamped his feet angrily, and before he could ask Rong Dan whether he had succeeded or not, he was harassed by the others.

……

"Oh, no, I'm so tired."

Huo Daiyu collapsed on the stone in the courtyard, looking miserable. He raised his hands and complained,

"Besides me, who else can take you two directly from the lake shore to the villa?"

Shen Ningsi pursed her lips, kicked her toes lightly, and said unhappily,

"You know you're tired, but who was the one who refused to let us go? You knew you'd be tired, but you still held on."

Yun Nian, whose heartbeat finally returned to normal, slowly slowed down her breathing and imitated Shen Ningsi, pulling Huo Daiyu's hand. She only heard a scream from the other party.

“It hurts, Sisi!”

"Who told you not to let me down? The carriage has already been arranged."

As she said this, Huo Daiyu jumped up, and the tired and painful expression on his face disappeared instantly.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I was just joking. You saw it just now. That party was not fun at all."

Shen Ningsi just sighed.

"It's not fun, but we have to go. Gathering with ladies of similar age allows us to do whatever we want. But after a while, those ladies will also start, and we don't know what to do then."

Hearing this, Yun Nian's expression suddenly became serious. She could show off in front of Princess Rongyang, but she couldn't act recklessly in the place of a noble lady.

This is absolutely against etiquette.

"Forget it. I'm here to help you. You two are not very good at dealing with situations like this, right?"

So the remaining two people hugged Shen Ningsi together, showing obedient and flattering expressions.

Shen Ningsi's eyes fell on Yun Nian's hand, and she noticed that the red mark had not yet disappeared.

"By the way, Sisi, why did you behave so strangely just now?"

She was a little puzzled, but she saw her friend showing a cautious expression.

"I'm not sure, but I smelled a strange smell on Rong Dan's hand. I've smelled this smell somewhere before. It seemed to be in a deep underground, with a green mist."

She just had a vague feeling that the thing was definitely not an ordinary medicine.

"At least one thing is certain, it smells like poison, although I don't know what the properties are..."

Before she finished speaking, Huo Daiyu jumped up, and Shen Ningsi even held her face in his hands.

"Poison? Poison! It's in Rong Dan's hand, so why did you touch her? Will I be poisoned if I smell it or touch it? Oh my God, Sisi, why are you not careful at all!"

Huo Daiyu was jumping up and down anxiously, and Yun Nian was a little amused.

"Wait, don't think I'm that stupid, okay? If I smell and touch it, I will be infected, and I will definitely take you away immediately."

"Moreover,"

She paused.

"Didn't Rong Yang hold her hand before, and he was fine, so at least I am sure that the method of poisoning was not what I just said."

Despite this, Shen Ningsi still did not let her go. Instead, she stared at her closely, as if she was determined to make her explain herself.

"Okay, Ningsi, I know what I'm doing. The smell of the poison comes from Rong Dan's fingertips. If she touches it, she will be poisoned. She will definitely not be able to escape."

"And there are only two ways I can think of to poison someone hidden in their fingernails. One is to shake it into tea, and the other is to sprinkle it into the wound."

Hearing this, Shen Ningsi, who was holding her face, gently pinched it.

"So, you made those leaves too?"

"Well, you know I have pretty good musicality. When I heard the sound of the piano, I knew the strings were about to break. There were so many fallen leaves, one of them would be touched."

In fact, Yun Nian originally planned to pretend to be careless and grab Huo Daiyu's arrow feather. Of course, he didn't need to tell his friends about this.

"You saw it too. Rong Dan's behavior really became nervous. Her first reaction was to reach out and touch it, but then she hid her hand. This proves that she also knows how to poison."

"So, Rong Dan wants to harm you? Why? Is she so bold?"

Huo Daiyu scratched his head, not quite sure what was going on. It was Shen Ningsi next to him who slapped him.

"Idiot, of course it's impossible. She has no disputes with Sisi. It's most likely that Rongyang ordered her to do it. I just didn't expect that she could even use the method of poisoning you. She obviously looks..."

It looks like he's angry and wants to destroy everything because he's not being liked.

Yun Nian was not able to distinguish the complex feelings that others had towards her. She usually liked to look into the eyes of the people around her. She believed that eyes could not hide emotions, and then she would look for their care for her from their every move.

Yun Nian needs love that is expressed boldly, not silent and voiceless.

"Wait, if I remember correctly, there seems to be a note you wrote for fun in the ointment, right?"

Shen Ningsi suddenly remembered and her eyes widened.

"Yeah, I was wondering, what would Rong Dan do if he saw it?"
