Su Wan knelt on the bluestone floor of the assembly hall, her palms bleeding from broken porcelain.
The century-old purple Ganoderma lucidum in front of the hall fell to pieces, and the thick concoction was dripping down the corners of Su Yao's goose-yellow skirt.
"Why did my sister waste the elixir to vent her anger?"

"At three o'clock last night, I saw Miss Wan sneaking into the medicine garden with my own eyes." Elder A stroked his goat's beard, and the jade medal around his waist flashed with dark patterns.
