The shop was very wide, with all kinds of spices placed on shelves. Before entering the shop, he could smell a refreshing fragrance.
What made Ye Yuning felt strange was that although there were different types of spices mixed together to create a strong pungent smell, there were none here.
As she stepped into the shop, the shopkeeper was taken aback. He hurriedly stepped forward and greeted her, "Why has Miss come here?"
Ye Yuning looked at him and asked: "You have seen me before?"
This should be the first time she entered this shop, so how could this storekeeper recognize her at a glance?
"This little one has never seen Miss before, but Miss looks extremely similar to Madam. Anyone who has seen you two would know that you two are mother and daughter. How could this little one not recognize you!?" The manager laughed.
Ye Yuning was very happy to hear that, her brows relaxed, and her eyes revealed a smile: "You sure know how to speak, no wonder you could become the shopkeeper." Pausing, Ye Yuning looked around and asked: "Where's my mother? Isn't it in the shop? "
"Miss, you've come at the right time. Madam will be gone for an hour."
Ye Yuning could not help but be disappointed. Nodding her lips, Ye Yuning waved her hand, not in the mood to look at Xiang Xiang.
"Since that's the case, let's return home as well!" If she wanted to take a look at these incense sticks, she could have the shopkeeper send them into the manor at any time. There was no need to delay here.
Seeing that Ye Yuning was about to leave, the shopkeeper immediately walked up: "Is young miss leaving? Just a moment, please. "
"What is it? What's the matter? " Ye Yuning stomped her feet, her face filled with curiosity.
"A few days ago, the old master ordered some people to bring back some things for you. This little one will take them now." Ye Yuning didn't have time to ask as the shopkeeper quickly walked into the backyard.
Ye Yuning was confused: "Father sent it?"
His father was Ye Shenghe, an official outside, accompanied by two aunts. It was a rare occasion to be able to return home, so someone often brought something home for him. And every time Ye Shenghe brought back something, from the old mistress to his nephew who was in the third wife for less than a week, everything was completed and there would not be a single person left behind. Why did he bring her something alone this time? Carrying these questions, Ye Yuning was led by the servant into the inner room to wait.
After the time it took to make a cup of tea, the manager didn't appear. Ye Yuning was bored from sitting so she stood up to look at the spices.
had seen all of the scents before, so he was more curious about the difference between the real thing and the one written in the book.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the shopkeeper still did not show up. Ye Yuning frowned: "Fei Qing, follow me to the backyard, why hasn't the shopkeeper come out yet?"
Fei Qing replied crisply and followed Ye Yuning back to the backyard. The Fragrant Storey's backyard was even bigger than the front yard. It was clean and tidy with two locust trees planted inside, whose branches were blown around by the wind. Ye Yuning, who had heard a lot of spices, felt refreshed.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Yuning felt that her mind was completely clear, and her eyes shone even brighter like the stars.
Suddenly, Ye Yuning's eyes became serious, and she looked behind the tree in alert: Who?
"Third Miss Ye and I are really fated to meet, to think that we would meet here." The clear and bright male voice came out, following that, a tall and straight figure slowly walked out from behind the tree, and appeared in Ye Yuning's line of sight.
"Shen Yunxing?"
Shen Yunxing was dressed in an indigo cheongsam robe, with a dainty jade pendant hanging by his waist, as he walked out from behind the tree, "Long time no see, Third Miss Ye has been well since we last met!"
Ye Yuning slightly pursed her lips, her expression turning from shock to calmness very quickly. She then asked, "These words should be asked by me. Ye Yuning raised her brows, holding a fan in her hand to cover half her face, she said softly.
She could tell with a single glance that the remaining poison on Shen Yunxing's body had yet to be cleansed, and his face was pale with a hint of cyan. That day, after Shen Yunxing consumed Thousand Chance, his expression clearly changed. The poison should have already been cured.
Could it be that even Qian Ji was unable to completely remove the poison? The doubt in Ye Yuning's heart suddenly grew.
Yi Zu had told her before that almost all the poisons in the world could be cured by Qian Ji, with the exception of one called "Stomach Severing Death".
Ye Yuning did not understand much about poisons, but in the past few days, she did understand a little bit about joss sticks. After pondering for a moment, Ye Yuning indicated for Fei Xiu and to retreat. Taking a step forward, she stopped at a distance half a meter away from Shen Yunxing and asked with a low voice: "Has Young Master Shen's poison been cleared that day? Are you able to determine what kind of poison it is? "
Shen Yunxing was surprised: "Third Miss Ye is very concerned about me, do you regret saying that you have repaid the debt of gratitude?"
Ye Yuning was startled for a moment at first, but immediately responded to the matter he was referring to with her life, his face slightly flushed, and rebuked: "Young Master Shen, I'm talking about proper business with you!"
Shen Yunxing was naturally disrespectful, he jumped up and down, seeing Ye Yuning's embarrassment turning into anger, he immediately laughed: "Third Miss Ye, no need to be angry, I was just joking with you."
Ye Yuning stared at him before speaking in a low voice, "Young Master's face is slightly green, as if the poison has not cleared yet. However, as far as I know, Qian Ji isn't a person who doesn't understand poisons. There's only one thing that he can do, which is to kill his intestines. "
Before he finished speaking, Shen Yunxing's eyes flashed with a bright light. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Yuning's wrist. The master and servant pair were shocked by his sudden action, and after a while, Fei Qing was the first to react, and exclaimed out loud.
"What are you doing? Let go of Miss! " As Fei Qing spoke, she raised her hand and slapped her palm towards her opponent.
Shen Yunxing raised his eyebrows, shifted his body, and avoided Fei Qing. Instead, he pulled Ye Yuning in front of him and trapped him with her right arm around her waist.
"Young Master Shen's actions, aren't you afraid that I will sue you for molesting a commoner?" Ye Yuning forced himself not to be angered. He raised his head and his eyes were as deep as the night, a cold light flickering in his eyes.
"I have no other intentions. I just want to ask, how did Third Miss Ye know about the death of the intestines?" Ye Yuning noticed that even though Shen Yunxing's tone was indifferent, when he said those words, his body clearly trembled uncontrollably.
Did he know he had been killed?
Ye Yuning quickly guessed it.
According to Yi Zu, cutting off the intestines could not be cured, and only Qian Ji could temporarily suppress it. Raising his head to look at Shen Yunxing's handsome face, Ye Yuning thought back to his previous life.
In his previous life, Shen Yunxing died of an illness at the age of twenty-six, and he had never been married to anyone.
Could it be that the death of Shen Yunxing in his previous life was related to the death of Shen Yunxing?
However, he was only 16 years old this year. Even if he was suppressed by Qian Ji, he would definitely not last more than a year if he were to be killed by someone who cut off his intestines. Ye Yuning's questions grew more and more numerous, but she was still unable to inquire.
"Young Master Shen doesn't need to be suspicious. Since I have the Thousand Revolution, it wouldn't be hard for me to lose my intestines and die. Qian Ji can suppress the death of the intestines for a year, if Young Master Shen needs it, I have two more here. "
After he finished speaking, Ye Yuning gently lifted his sleeves, revealing a jade white wrist, and took off the bracelet.
