    Summary

    “I need mercury or arsenic,” Wen Qing told him, back straight as if expecting a fight. “Nightshade or monkshood.”

    Wei Wuxian had been a hungry child when he’d come to Lotus Pier. He used to pick everything up and eat it, especially around the gardens, used to farmers growing their vegetables. Vomiting and stomach aches had been the consequence of eating from Jinzhu and Yinzhu’s garden and only Jiang Yanli had pitied him for it, though she hadn’t understood his behavior either. He learned the poisons of Meishan Yu quickly, and then was instructed in more all over again when he’d presented.

    Madam Yu would not tolerate a whore in her household, never mind a bastard. In her mind, the situation was inevitable, Wei Wuxian already spoiled. Teaching him how to be discreet about some matters was necessary in her eyes. He’d never thanked her for this care born out of ugly disregard.

    Wei Wuxian remembers a conversation he never told anyone about.
