He spat the refreshment into his palm.
He examined it closely.
"What's the matter?" Lady Chen asked anxiously.
Chen Danyan was also extremely nervous.
She knew that Yun Jinnian wouldn't spit out the refreshment without reason, and even if the taste was disagreeable, he would have swallowed it nonetheless.
The other ladies' hearts also lifted in apprehension.
Lady Chen's grandmother slightly furrowed her brows.
Age and experience were there, but it didn't show.
"This refreshment has been laced with croton!" Yun Jinnian stated indifferently.
The crowd sighed in relief.
Lady Chen's grandmother then cast a calm glance at Lady Chen.
Lady Chen did not move but looked towards a nanny dressed in dark green cotton-padded clothes, who immediately withdrew.
Yun Jinnian placed the refreshment on the table and took a handkerchief to gently wipe his hands before uncovering the teacup lid, and smiled faintly, "It seems that someone doesn't welcome me today!"
