Second Child Liang?

Sima You Yue smirked. Thinking of the presence of outsiders, she implicitly picked up the teacup and concealed her smile with the lid of the cup.

“Second Child Liang, why did you bring a stranger to me? You know the rules here, don’t let me throw you out!” The woman saw Sima You Yue, stared at Liang Chu Xing, and walked to the main seat and sat down.

“Xuan Xuan, there is someone else present, don’t embarrass me like that and give me some face.” Liang Chu Xing winked at Chu Xuan.

“Second Child Liang, since when do you even have this thing called ‘face’? Do you even know what embarrassment is?” Chu Xuan added on in a low voice, “If you want face, instead of being a proper Young Master of the Liang Family, you actually ran away to become a scumbag Flower Picking Thief? It’s also a miracle on it’s own that the Liang Family did not kick you out.”

“Xuan Xuan…” Liang Chu Xing called her this time round with a very helpless tone.

“Well, I won’t expose all your smelly history.” Chu Xuan waved her hand, “Let’s talk, what are you doing here today?”

“Let me introduce to you, this is Chu Xuan and this is Sima You Yue. She was the one who helped me lead the Yuan Clan’s people who were waiting in ambush away so that I could collect Yun Lan’s body.” Liang Chu Xing introduced the two of them to each other.

“Sima You Yue?” Chu Xuan’s gaze was a bit gloomy. Even if she looked at Sima You Yue without emotion, she felt some pressure, a feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake.

“You Yue has seen Senior Chu.” Sima You Yue got up and greeted Chu Xuan as a junior respectfully.

“I’ve heard of you, your reputation has been very loud recently.” Chu Xuan said, “What are you looking for me for?”

“Why didn’t you ask if I was looking for you instead?” Liang Chu Xing muttered by the side.

“What can an infatuated Flower Picking Thief look for me for? The most is to just order some poison to harm others. But would such a little thing be worth waiting for me for a few hours?” Chu Xuan rolled her eyes at him.

Liang Chu Xing pursed his lips and said nothing.

Sima You Yue smiled when she saw the manner the two of them interacted. Only people with good relationships could poke others’ scars so casually.

“Senior Chu, this is indeed the case. Liang Chu Xing said that you have a lot of research on poison, so I would like to consult you on something.”

“What is it?”

“I know a kind of poison, it…” Sima You Yue mentioned the symptoms again, and asked: “I want to ask if Senior knows what kind of poison it is.”

“The kind of poison you are talking about is called Drunk Poison Flower.” Chu Xuan replied, “However, I never knew that a person who’s been inflicted with this poison could still survive to even give birth to a child. Are you the baby back then?”

Sima You Yue was silent for a while, nodded and asked, “Senior, do you know who developed this poison?”

“Of course I know, this is the poison I developed. It’s unique, one and only. You can’t find it elsewhere.” Chu Xuan’s words shocked them.

“What? This is your poison? Xuan Xuan, you shouldn’t be the one who poisoned You Yue’s Mother?” Liang Chu Xing exclaimed.

“Second Child Liang, when will you ever use that little brain in that head of yours? I really wonder how you escaped the Yuan Clan for two years?” Chu Xuan’s gaze towards him was full of contempt, as if saying how unlucky she was to know him.

“Although this poison was developed by the Senior, it was not used by Senior.” Sima You Yue said, “I would like to ask Senior, who did you give this poison to 60 or 70 years ago?”

“This poison is not a good poison. After refining that one batch, I never made any more of it. It was only given to one person.” Chu Xuan said.

“So, it’s easy to know who was the person who administered the poison!” Liang Chu Xing interrupted again, spouting some useless nonsense.

Sima You Yue looked at Chu Xuan expectantly, but she didn’t continue her words.
