"Look, our Xiu'er really likes drinking this iced silver ear soup!" Tan Shi said with a smile.

Everyone else at the table was also looking over here, laughing and agreeing.

“This lotus root and silver ear soup was cooked by my sister-in-law. She’s a good cook, it's really sweet. I just finished a small bowl.” Cao Bamei said.

Liao Meiyin smiled a little sheepishly and said, "Where is my craftsmanship good oh, mainly the material is good, the snow fungus was brought back by Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt from Qingan County, and the rock candy was bought by Yongxian when he went to the county town last time. I just put these good materials together."

Tan said, “Meiying, you don’t have to be modest. You are really good at making sweet soup. My father-in-law and I both drank the ice sugar green bean soup you made a few days ago, and my father-in-law praised you!”

Liao Meiyng's smile broadened, and although she spoke humbly, her eyes and eyebrows betrayed her joy.

Sun turned her head and saw that Yang Ruqing hadn't drunk, so she whispered, "Ruqing, you should have a bowl too. It helps clear the heat."

Yang Ruqing originally liked to drink, but seeing Tan Shi feeding Xiuer, she didn't use the big ladle, but her own spoon.

Before each spoonful was fed into the child's mouth, Mrs. Tan would first put a taste in her own mouth to test the temperature. Yang Ruoqing immediately lost interest in that large bowl of silver ear soup.

“I’m full, I can’t drink anymore.” Yang Ruqing said this to Mrs. Sun.

Mrs. Sun nodded, "Then I'll have some."

She turned and picked up the large ladle to scoop some silver ear soup...

Zhao Liuer, holding little Niuniu, suddenly arrived at the dining hall entrance. After entering, her gaze swept across the crowd at the table where the women were seated, her eyes filled with anxiety.

Here is the translation: >

"Zhao Liu'er and her daughter are here, come sit down, it's dinner time!" Cao Baimei beckoned to Zhao Liu'er.

Then Zhao Liuer, holding the little girl Nunu in her arms, strode directly toward them. She first smiled and nodded at Mrs. Sun and Bao Suyun who were sitting at the table, as a greeting.

Then, he came before Yang Ruqing, slightly bending down and whispering something into her ear.

Yang Ruqing looked up in surprise at Zhao Liuer, then nodded.

Zhao Liuer hugged Xiaoniu and turned around to leave the dining hall.

Yang Ruqing also immediately stood up, "You guys eat first, I'll go help San Sao."

As he spoke, he also chased after her out of the dining hall.

On the table, Liu's two hands were gripping a large pig's trotter, munching on it so hard that her face, hands, and even clothes were covered in grease.

"What's with these two? Eating a meal and being so mysterious, soon the food will get cold!" Liu said while chewing and mumbling.

Sun said: "They youngsters have their own affairs, we eat ours and don't need to worry about them."

Upon seeing this, Liao Meiyng also smiled and invited everyone to eat the dishes.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

In the adjoining kitchen, Zhao Liuer lowered her voice and told everything she had seen before about Yang Ruqing.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else! ?

Yang Ruqing was so surprised that her mouth could not close, "Third Sister-in-law, did you see it clearly?"

Zhao Liuer raised two fingers and swore to heaven, "I swear I saw it clearly. Li Xiuxin sprinkled the entire bag of powder into the ice sugar snow fungus soup. I really wanted to stop her, but I was afraid. I was afraid that she would hate me and later drug Hong'er and Xiao Niuniu. I was so scared, I didn't dare to say anything, but my conscience couldn't bear it, so I had to tell you..."

“Qing’er, look, this is the powder from her medicine spilled on the hearth. It wasn’t cleaned up, I left a little bit for you.”

Yang Ruqing used her fingertip to pick up some of the medicinal powder and then put it under her nose to smell it carefully.

"Such a familiar smell, this is…"

“What is this? Won’t someone get hurt?” Zhao Liuer asked nervously.

Yang Ruqing said, "A human life shouldn't be at stake. This should be laxatives because there is a smell of croton powder inside."

"Medicine to induce diarrhea?" Zhao Liuer's expression was strange, she really couldn't understand why Li Xiu Xin would put laxatives in sweet soup.

Yang Ruqing couldn't bother to ponder Li Xiu's despicable and foolish thoughts. She grabbed Zhao Liu'er's hand and said, "Third sister-in-law, this matter can't be taken lightly, we have to come up with a way to stop everyone from drinking this sweet soup!"

As soon as Yang Ruqing thought about how Sun and the others had all already drunk it, her head started to ache.

Zhao Liuer showed a hint of hesitation: "I'm afraid people won't believe me, moreover, I didn't go up to stop it immediately. I'm afraid people will guess my intentions and be slandered by Li Xiu Xin..."

>

Yang Ruoqing's face grew serious. "It's because of your hesitation earlier that you didn't stop in time, and many people drank the sweet soup. Now you can't hesitate any longer."

Please note that the original input contained only a closing paragraph tag. I have left it as is in the English translation.

“If this sweet soup causes trouble for everyone, it's your sister-in-law who will suffer the consequences. This matter is between you and her, so I can’t interfere. I’ll go call your sister-in-law over, and you should quickly confess to her and figure out a way to make amends!”

After uttering those words, Yang Ruqing dashed out of the kitchen like a gust of wind and arrived at the dining hall next door.

Yang Ruqing returned to the dining hall and glanced at the few tables.

Their table was full of alcoholic beverages and snacks, with no silver ear soup served at all.

The children didn't have their own table either, because the women would serve them dishes and then let them sit at a small table nearby to eat.

The bird's nest soup was only placed on the women's table, a full and overflowing large sea bowl.

Yang Ruqing leaned in to Liao Meiying's ear and whispered a few words.

Liao Meiyng's chopsticks suddenly fell to the ground, her eyes widened, and her face turned pale.

Yang Ruqing quickly held her hand, reminding her to stay calm.

Liao Meiying came back to her senses, trembling all over. Perhaps it was from the shock, perhaps from anger.

“This sweet soup has cooled down, I’ll go exchange it for a new bowl.” Liao Meiying stood up and reached out to take the bowl of sweet soup and walked outside.

Both hands were trembling. Just as he reached the threshold, his hand slipped and the bowl fell to the ground, scattering the broth everywhere.

Everyone in the dining hall looked this way.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Tan wrinkled her brow: "Yongxian, what's the matter? The sweet porridge isn't cold yet, and Xiu'er is eating it with gusto. Why did you suddenly take it away?"

Mrs. Li also took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, "Today is Xiu'er's first birthday. Breaking a bowl like this isn't auspicious..."

Tan's face fell, and the spoon in her hand clattered into the bowl.

"Eternal fairy concubine, what are you messing about with?!" she shouted.

At this moment, Liao Meiying was completely lost. Hearing these words, she was so frightened that she turned around and knelt down with a thud.

"Milk, you can't drink this silver ear soup, there's laxative in it, you'll have a stomachache if you drink it!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Liao Meiying cried out directly.

"What? What are you saying? What nonsense are you talking about!" Tan exclaimed, her voice shooting up in alarm.

Seeing that Mrs. Tan was furious, Li's mother felt relieved and quickly took Xiu'er into her arms, comforting him on her lap. She didn't eat anymore either and waited patiently for Mrs. Tan to vent her anger.

>

And the men at their table also stopped drinking, and all looked this way.

Old Yang also asked: "What's going on? What are you doing on such a good day?"

“The immortal wife is putting medicine in the sweet soup!” Mrs. Li said.

"I didn't, I really didn't..." Liao Meiyin knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, shaking her head frantically.

"Pffft!"

Suddenly, someone passed gas at the woman's table.

Then Liu saw the pork trotter slip from her hand and she covered her bottom as she stood up.

"Goodness gracious, my stomach...it's really acting up!"

Before she could finish her words, Liu fled the dining hall in embarrassment and ran straight to the outhouse in the back garden.
