Outside, the moon shone bright amid sparse stars. Inside, red candles burned high, and half a cup of nuptial wine remained.

Qiu Tang lowered her lashes, lightly twisting the embroidered handkerchief in her fingers. Her voice was so soft it seemed to drip with water. "Husband... I can't hold my liquor."

Duan Xu smiled gently and lifted a hand to tuck her hair back into place. "If you're not feeling well, my dear, you should get some rest early."

If a third person had been there, they would surely have praised the couple for how deeply in love they seemed.

Unfortunately, one had poisoned the corner of her handkerchief, while the other had put poison in the wine.

Only when Qiu Tang's embroidered shoe stepped onto his chest did Duan Xu finally raise an eyebrow. "Can't keep up the act anymore?"

Qiu Tang laughed softly. "With skills like yours, my lord, you don't seem like a frail scholar who only knows how to read."

Duan Xu gripped her chin. "Likewise. Your knife is quicker than your tears."
