Poisoning

When the day came to an end and Han Cai emerged as the winner of the tournament, his great-grandfather, grandfather, and father could not have been prouder. Their faces were beaming with happiness as they escorted Han Cai back to his courtyard.

Yan Rui, Han Cai's great-grandfather, decided to throw a small banquet to celebrate Han Cai's victory. He invited his twenty-three sons to the celebration. He did not ask his sons to bring their families, as that would mean having to accommodate thousands of members in the household.

As the banquet began, Yan Rui made Han Cai sit beside him while Han Cai's grandfather, Yan Bo, sat at the table nearest to Yan Rui. Throughout the banquet, Yan Rui praised Yan Bo for having a Heaven-grade talent in his family, rewarding him with thirty percent of the Rui household's resources. The remaining seventy percent would be divided among the other twenty-two sons.
