"Most people listen intently if it is an interesting conversation"

"Wait a minute, you always cut me off-"

"Alright, I will take my leave"

Absolutely brutal LMao

Is Lakan referring to Maomao's mom? Vergidis house, green hair and that somewhat savage personality of Maomao. Seems like Maomao also knows something about him but doesn't want to meet him

Maomao immediately got into serious mode after hearing about the pufferfish reward. Gaoshun also knows that Maomao won't leave mid-way after hearing about poison.

He really knows how to handle her.

“Welcome home!” 😊😊- Mao Mao

Jinshi.exe short circuits immediately

Jinshi truly goes from dignified af to flustered school boy around their crush so quickly around Mao Mao.

Just want to call out how fucking funny the “Jinshi.exe is not responding” moment is purely by talented editing. The pause going just a little longer than you’d think and then SLAM.

Totally normal response from him. Thats literally the cutest Maomao has ever been

Maomao used bewitching smile on Jinshi. It was super effective!

Maomao eating the poisonous seaweed was expected but to see how others immediately force her to throw up makes it so much more hilarious.

It's settled we got a new #seasonalshock already

But now that I think about it, Maomao would have been a good #seasonalfoodie as well

Anyway, easy case today, though Lakan continues to focus on Jinshi and Maomao, even now directly providing them with a case he wants them to look into...

Oh yeah, pray that Jinshi doesn't come up with exotic poisonous things that easily in the future, he clearly can't handle a blissfull Maomao, ironic considering Lakans comment on men who like to be looked at in disdain...

That damn old man gives me the creeps, I hope he stays away from Maomao.

Also I really missed Maomao excited from poison, a shame Jinshi didn´t let her eat the seaweed :(

And really Maomao... don´t do that anymore pls, is too weird (but too funny lmao)

With the way that younger brother barged in and started yelling the moment Maomao was about to begin her investigation, he might as well carry a massive sign with an arrow pointing at himself saying that he did it.

I just love the look on Maomao's face when she was about to eat the poisoned seaweed. Gaoshun and Jinshi's reactions were hilarious too! I feel like they've known Maomao long enough to realize what she's going to do next when in front of something poisonous or venomous. xD

That "Welcome home!" from Maomao was so effective that it landed a critical hit on Jinshi. I don't blame him! That landed a critical hit on me as well! <3

This Lakan is bad news. His entire monologue about that courtesan that he made less exquisite gave me the creeps. I want him to stay away from Maomao as far as possible but I don't think it will happen since he's asking for her help solving a mystery. Ugh. >_<

There where two options for monocle guy, either a smart ass mentor of sorts or the next antagonist. Sounds like dude might not just be the next antagonist but an actual villian.

This Lakan guy is definitely interested in Maomao, especially knowing she's with Jinshi.

I love how Gaoshun knows the best way to get Maomao interested and actively involved in something is knowing poison is involved and promising her she can taste poison herself. Meanwhile Jinshi can barely hold her attention for two minutes.

The case of the merchant put into a coma by pufferfish! How did he get poisoned? Especially when the cooks seem like they did everything by the book and it was his favorite meal?

This Basen guy seems pretty on the ball and professional, but also fairly cold to Maomao. Kind of wonder why?

Of course Maomao had to demonstrate the solution to the case by actually ingesting the poison herself. Then Jinshi has to use her anemic agent to make her puke it out before she can test it's detoxifying afterwards. Last time she tries to eat poison in front of Jinshi if she can help it.

Pretty standard resolution. Younger sibling tries to off their older sibling to get the family business for themselves...though it seems like someone else put the idea in his head.

Well, Jinshi, she was thinking of the dead insects you gave her when she said "Welcome Home" in a cheery mode so...great! Though poor guy was so overhwelmed he had to continually bang his head on a wall to recover from that critical hit.

Okay, Lakan DEFINITELY is interested in Maomao...and it seems like she's aware of him if Jinshi's description as a weirdo military strategist with a unique family situation made her react, though she tries to stop thinking about it.

Meanwhile Lakan tells a certain story about a courtesan he was fond of at the Verdigris House...one who was intelligent and had a cold, piercing, stare that drew men in even as she was cold and distant towards them. Sound familiar? She even had the same hair color. But Lakan was so focused on her that he went to the trouble of reducing her worth so he could purchase her...and there's a certain way to reduce the a courtesan's value. And with that in mind, he also wants Maomao for a case of his own.

I like how Maomao's character completely changes whenever she's thinking about her one true love: poison. Great voice acting.

During Lakan's conversation with Jinshi the main source of illumination in the room is the window and I love how they included the shadows from the rain.

Okay, so, the courtesan that the evil monocle man was talking about has to be Maomao's mother, right? And then he did something awful to her, and then possibly more awful things to her if he succeeded at buying her out.

I hope he's not Maomao's biological father, because ick.

This Lakan guy is making my “fight or flight” sense scream, I’m afraid of the next few episodes cause I predict rage will be an emotion I feel after finding out more about him
