The banquet did not last for a long time and ended shortly after.

During the banquet, Sima You Yue no longer felt the killing intent, but she became wary in her heart.

The killing intent when she entered was not an illusion, which shows that the other party really hated her. But she didn’t feel it anymore, indicating that the other party suppressed it. It was more difficult to deal with people with such good self-control ability.

However, as the saying went, counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir1.

And as for the others, during the banquet, perhaps because of her identity and also because they thought that she was strongly affiliated with Yuan Yu Qiu, many people came to flatter her and wanted to chat with her.

Sima You Yue could only act perfunctorily towards a few. She wanted to hide in a corner so that no one would find her, but Yuan Yu Qiu mentioned her from time to time, so she could only stay beside Yuan Yu Qiu and use her as a shield. Although those people were curious about her, they were also a little afraid of Yuan Yu Qiu, so they didn’t dare to come over blatantly. She was also quite quiet. At least, Yuan Yu Qiu did not act so eagerly in front of outsiders.

After the banquet, she went out with everyone and declined Yuan Yu Qiu when she wanted to send her off personally.

“The Glazed Gathering will be happening in a few days. You can go to the city to see if there is anything you are interested in. I will be busy these few days so I won’t be able to take you around in person, but if you need anything, you can send someone to tell me.” Yuan Yu Qiu took her hand and said kindly.

“Thank you, Aunt Qiu. There’s no need to care about me if you are busy, I will find things to entertain myself with.” Sima You Yue finished speaking and got on the prepared beast carriage.

When the beast carriage door closed, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, her expression a bit solemn. She talked a lot with Yuan Yu Qiu today, and even covered the things of the year, but Yuan Yu Qiu handled it very well. Except for being a little anxious about Sima Liu Xuan, nothing else was divulged.

It seems that it would be difficult to find evidence of her poisoning.

She returned to the courtyard where she lived and when Liang Chu Xing saw her frowning back to her house, he followed along.

After a day, he seemed to have almost recovered on the surface, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.

“What’s the matter with you? Why did you go to a banquet, and you were frowning when you came back?” When he went in, he saw Sima You Yue standing in a daze at the table and walked over and asked.

Sima You Yue turned to look at him and asked, “Do you know anything about Yuan Yu Qiu?”

“I guess, all the normal stuff but I should know a little bit better than you.” Liang Chu Xing sat down, and Sima You Yue sat down too.

“Is she a person with lots of thoughts?”

“I won’t say that she is really intelligent but, how should I say it? Hmm, if you compare her with Yuan Li Li that straw bag, she seems a little bit smarter.” Liang Chu Xing said, “Why? Have you dealt with her today and find her difficult?”

Sima You Yue thought that Liang Chu Xing was pretty renowned in the Fifth State, and asked: “Then do you know a kind of poison? The symptoms are…”
