The dog sniffed it while Bai Ruolan stared.
Tang Li Yue said kindly, "What? It drinks almost anything."
The dog sneezed into the cup.
Tang Li Yue frowned. "Actually, never mind. Even it has standards."
Bai Ruolan's face turned red, then white, then back to red.
Shen Mingxia made a small sound and disguised it as a cough.
Shen Deyuan looked helplessly at the herbs.
Tang Li Yue set the cup down. "No need to bring water next time. We have hands. We can get our own."
Bai Ruolan gripped the tray tightly.
"Yes."
She turned and left.
Shen Mingxia waited until she was gone before whispering, "I really don't like her."
Tang Li Yue hummed. "You have sharp eyes."
Shen Deyuan sighed. "Miss Li Yue…"
"What? I am encouraging discernment."
"She is still young too."
"She is old enough to scheme against us and gutsy enough to pretend that it didn't happen."
Shen Mingxia nodded vigorously.
Shen Deyuan looked at his daughter. "Why are you nodding so happily?"
