Hearing this, Baili Hongzhuang's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect that today's banquet would be filled with traps.
"Young Lord Lan is able to become the Patriarch of the Lan Family at such a young age. It is clear that Young Lord Lan is outstanding and is supported by the family. Congratulations."
Baili Hongzhuang's face was full of smiles. Her indifferent attitude and high-sounding words made it seem as if everything had nothing to do with her.
As she spoke, Baili Hongzhuang raised her cup and looked at Lan Qingyan, "Young Lord Lan, congratulations. I will drink first!"
After drinking a cup, Baili Hongzhuang sat down.
Looking at Baili Hongzhuang's inconspicuous appearance, Lan Qingyan couldn't help but frown. She also wanted to see Baili Hongzhuang lose her composure, but Baili Hongzhuang was always so airtight.
Lan Jingkuang quietly looked at Yue Siqing who was beside Baili Hongzhuang. Yue Siqing also nodded without leaving a trace.
Following this, Lan Qingyan, Lan Jingkuang, and the others obviously placed their attention on Baili Hongzhuang, Di Beichen, and Mo Yunjue.
They constantly chatted with the three to divert their attention and even had the idea of getting them drunk.
"Patriarch, Master Kuang and the others' actions today are a bit strange. Should we …" Lan Borong couldn't help but speak up.
Lan Hongtai raised his right hand slightly and stopped Lan Borong.
"Baili Hongzhuang and the others are also shrewd people. Up until now, Jingkuang and the others haven't gotten any useful information from them.
We don't have to worry for now. However, Baili Hongzhuang's performance has really made me look at her in a new light. "
Lan Hongtai's eyes were filled with admiration and satisfaction. He didn't think that this granddaughter of his who had been wandering outside could rely on herself to grow up to be so outstanding.
Lan Borong smiled and nodded, "Indeed, Young Palace Master Baili's experience in dealing with people is amazing."
After three rounds of wine, Baili Hongzhuang's cheeks were flushed pink.
At this moment, Yue Siqing raised her cup to Baili Hongzhuang and said, "Young Palace Master Baili, let me toast you."
Looking at the two wine cups in Yue Siqing's hands, Baili Hongzhuang laughed softly and said, "Master Yue is a renowned poison master. I really don't dare to drink the wine that you are offering!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere of the entire banquet instantly froze.
Everyone looked at Baili Hongzhuang and Yue Siqing, but the smile on Yue Siqing's face did not diminish.
"If Young Palace Master Baili is afraid, then I will drink this cup of wine."
As she spoke, Yue Siqing drained the wine in Baili Hongzhuang's cup in one gulp, her expression carefree and natural.
In comparison, Baili Hongzhuang seemed narrow-minded.
"Young Palace Master Baili, then you should drink this cup."
Baili Hongzhuang smiled. "How would I know if Master Yue would poison his own cup and then give it to me?"
Yue Siqing's expression changed a little. She said, "My actions are enough to show my sincerity. However, your attitude is still a little too petty."
Baili Hongzhuang shrugged her shoulders. "I have no choice. I have seen too many treacherous people in this world and I really have to guard against them. I hope that Master Yue will be magnanimous and not hold it against me."
Di Beichen and Mo Yunjue were also staring at Yue Siqing. They didn't know which cup of wine was poisoned, but since Baili Hongzhuang had said such words, she must have her reasons.
