"Why is there no sign of that girl, Bing Yue?" Matriarch put on his clothes and went to a safe courtyard under the escort of a group of people. Right after he finished speaking, he saw Bing Lanyue yawning as he walked in and said: "Matriarch, I'm here!"

Bing Lanyue's hazy and sleepy eyes were no longer as bright as before. She then looked at the nearby flames, and powerlessly had someone to bring over a chair for him to sit beside Matriarch.

At this time, Bing Enshan had already brought Concubine Lin over with a depressed look on her face. Following that, she tied up a servant girl, saying that she was the main culprit behind the fire.

When Bing Lanyue saw that the servant was crying so miserably, she felt a little guilty. She just wanted to gather everyone in one place to make it easier for the Dark Guard to look for Qing Qiu.

"Matriarch was precisely the girl who did not forget to extinguish the firewood in the furnace, which was why such an accident happened. According to the rules, we have to put her in the well." Concubine Lin knew that her own courtyard was on fire. Matriarch would definitely take this opportunity to cause trouble for him, and was the first to take care of the servant girl in her hands.

"Un, let's do it this way then!"

Once Matriarch said that, Bing Lanyue immediately woke up from her drowsiness and shouted: "Slow!"

Bing Lanyue calmed her heart for a while, then said: "Grandmother, the heavens are kind. Moreover, right now, the fire is about to be extinguished, you should take a look to see if there are any casualties before you give this girl a chance to atone for her deeds."

"You normally don't care about these trivial matters, but grandma suddenly wants to plead on behalf of this maid?" When Matriarch saw Bing Lanyue speak up with a spoiled face, she could not bear to do so.

Grandmother, I have been copying buddhist scriptures beside the empress dowager and Empress Dowager these past few days. I heard them say many things that the heavens were kind to me, and taught me to be kind and considerate, so I will always remember this as my granddaughter. I saw this little girl's age as a slip of the hand. Bing Lanyue's brain spun and he immediately brought out the Empress Dowager and the empress dowager, causing everyone to not dare to say another word.

"Since it's the empress dowager's intentions, let's do it this way. Send this maidservant to the manor and do some menial work!" Matriarch looked at Bing Lanyue's eyes. Actually he already had a few thoughts in his heart, but he did not reveal it in front of others.

To return to Master Matriarch, the fire has already extinguished and no one was injured or injured. It's just that one part of the kitchen has been destroyed. The leader was an old woman, because according to the rules, men were not allowed to enter the inner court, but today the courtyard was on fire. Other than the courtyard where Matriarch was currently sitting, there was a mix of male and female who came over to talk to their wife.

"Alright, it's good that you're fine. Let's pack up and have a good sleep!" Matriarch stood up and returned to his own courtyard first, while Bing Lanyue first bowed to Bing Enshan, and waited for him to leave with Concubine Lin before returning to his own courtyard.

Returning to her room, Bing Lanyue saw Qing Qiu sitting on the bed. When her arm was full of injuries, she immediately called for a light to come in and ask: "Where have you been these past few days?"

"Miss, I got lost on the way, so I came back a little late." Qing Qiu remembered the instruction given to her by the black clothed man, so she did not point it out in front of Bing Lanyue.

Bing Lanyue naturally knew that Qing Qiu would say this. She got Mei Niang to bring clean hot water and then brought some ointment over to help Qing Qiu clean up. Only after that was she able to relax and sleep soundly.

"In the future, be careful!" As Bing Lanyue was lying on his bed at night, she suddenly said these words to the bed not too far away.

The morning of the second day, in Concubine Lin's courtyard.

"You bunch of useless things, you don't even know who took them away!" Early in the morning, Ru Zui came over to report that the little girl who was originally locked in his room had disappeared, causing Concubine Lin to fly into a rage.

"Yesterday, there was a fire in the courtyard. This servant was worried about your safety and hurriedly came over. I didn't dare to bring that servant girl." Ru Zui secretly clenched her teeth in her heart. She finally found a chance to become a first class servant of the Concubine Lin.

The Concubine Lin snorted, her eyes fiercely glaring at Ru Zui. In her heart, she hated the people who went out to fire in her courtyard last night, and thought that they must be here for Qing Qiu.

"You can leave. If anyone asks, just say that you've never seen this servant girl before." Concubine Lin thought that no one else would care about Qing Qiu except Bing Lanyue. Unfortunately, when he kidnapped Qing Qiu and brought her here, that person wasn't righteous and proper, and now, he couldn't ask Bing Lanyue for her help either.

"Qing Qiu, if you're not feeling well, just lie down and rest!" Bing Lanyue saw that Qing Qiu had woken up early in the morning to help him wash, and also saw the small wounds on her body, so he couldn't bear to do it.

"Miss, please let me serve you. I'm used to it!" Qing Qiu helped tie the last strand of hair onto Bing Lanyue's head and fixed it with the pearl flower. Then, she looked at Bing Lanyue with a smile, without the slightest sign of him crying after feeling wronged last night.

However, not being able to cry or make a fuss did not mean that she, Bing Lanyue, would not care. Concubine Lin was truly seeking death just like Bing Ruolan, she was not like how she was in the past.

"Is it time for lunch?" Bing Lanyue looked at the hour drop, put down the book in her hand that she had been reading all morning, and asked Qing Qiu who was at the side embroidering.

"Yes, Miss, are you hungry?" I'll get someone to bring the food over right now! " Qing Qiu put down the work in her hands and stood up. Bing Lanyue shook her head and shouted to the Mei Niang outside, who was picking flowers to make a scented sachet.

Hearing Bing Lanyue's voice, the Mei Niang walked in and asked: "Miss, what orders do you have?"

"Let's go, we're going to pay a visit!" Bing Lanyue's face had a smile on it, she glanced at Qing Qiu and continued, "Stay here, don't leave the courtyard, and don't let anyone see the scars on your body."

Qing Qiu didn't know what Bing Lanyue was about to do, and only nodded obediently. She watched Bing Lanyue leave the small courtyard accompanied by Mei Niang and two second class maidservants.

"Aunt, are you there?" Bing Lanyue walked into Concubine Lin's courtyard. The air was filled with the smell of smoke from last night, and there was a smile on her face.

Concubine Lin put down the chopsticks in her hand, thinking to herself, why did Bing Lanyue suddenly come over here? After which, she walked out with a kind smile.

The servant girl behind Bing Lanyue held a box in her hands, looking at it, she could tell that it was a gift, thinking that it should be a form of courtesy to express her condolences, she hurried over with a smile: "Why did young miss think of this, what happened here yesterday, it's been a mess today."

"If it wasn't for the incident yesterday, with my lazy personality, I wouldn't want to come to this aunt's place and disturb you. I have a box of top-grade pearl powder and some lingzhi root for you to suppress your shock." Bing Lanyue waved his hands, and Mei Niang immediately opened the box in the servant girl's hands, allowing Concubine Lin to take a look.

"It's really hard for you to be so considerate, making this useless mother of mine, who is nothing, feel weird and embarrassed." Concubine Lin's words were sharp, but she had an amiable expression as she lightly patted Bing Lanyue's hands.

Bing Lanyue did not mind Concubine Lin's words at all, and continued to speak with a face full of smiles: "Aunt, your kitchen is cooked, where did you get the food today?"

"I bought these from a restaurant outside. Some of them were sent over by the lord's kitchen." Seeing that Bing Lanyue looked like she really wanted to eat it, Concubine Lin secretly formed a plan in her heart. She quickly got someone to bring a bowl of lotus seed soup and said: "How about you eat with me?"

"Alright, I was hoping for it!" Bing Lanyue took the lotus seed soup from the Concubine Lin's hands. Seeing that she did not have any, she looked at the fish that she had yet to touch, then placed the lotus seed soup to the side and said, "I don't like sweet food. I'll try this fish first."

"Young lady, this lotus seed soup is good for beauty. It's good for the restaurants outside, how can you not try it?" Concubine Lin looked at Ru Xin and knew that Ru Xin had already placed the thing inside her silver ear soup. She couldn't wait for Bing Lanyue to drink it and hurt her to death.

Seeing that the Concubine Lin was so eager to drink, Bing Lanyue immediately laughed and took it, thinking that there must be some good stuff inside, right? Then, he said to Ru Xin who was at the side, "Go and find a bowl, I'll drink with my aunt."

"How can that be? You're a guest, you should be the one drinking this!" When Concubine Lin saw that Bing Lanyue looked like he wanted to accompany him to death, she felt hatred in her heart but managed to push her away with a smile.

"Miss, the bowl is here!" At this time, Ru Xin had already brought a bowl over. Towards Bing Lanyue's orders, she did not dare to refuse. After all, she had just been beaten up by him not long ago.

Bing Lanyue did not wait for Concubine Lin to agree or not, and directly divided the silver ear soup into two portions, then handed over the spoonful to Concubine Lin, and said: "I don't even dare to touch the chopsticks because of what Aunt has said. Although I am a guest, you are still my elder, so of course I should show you my filial piety."

"Miss, you don't usually use these things outside, I've already gotten someone to change the dishes for you." Mei Niang placed the bowl and chopsticks the maid brought from the courtyard in front of Bing Lanyue, and then personally placed the silver ear soup into the bowl. Then, she smiled.

Therefore, Bing Lanyue specially researched some pharmacology and combined it with some of the medical books she had read from the past, using her purification techniques to turn the important parts of the poison into the concentrate that could be smeared on a bowl. She also prepared to use it in case of an emergency.

When Mei Niang brought him the tea set just now, he had first smeared some water dissolved in the antidote powder, and then Mei Niang had personally smeared it. As a result, no one realized that there was actually some water in the bowl.
