Shen Yunxing's eyes immediately turned deep as the strength in his hand slightly loosened. He did not take the bracelet. After a moment of silence, he told his everything that had happened.
Ye Yuning's guess was not wrong. After she left Ye's Mansion that day, the next day, he found out that he had been struck in the intestines and died. In order to cure the poison, Shen Xiang had sought out countless famous doctors, but they could only suppress them, unable to eradicate the poison.
Fortunately, Ye Yuning had a chance to delay him, otherwise, she would have died from the poison by now.
After putting the bracelet back in Ye Yuning's hand, Shen Yunxing released it and said indifferently: "You should keep this Qian Ji properly! The last time I used one of yours, it had already been a year's time. Father has already thought of a way to delay the development of the antidote for me. "
Ye Yuning put on the bracelet and looked at it. Shen Yunxing spoke with an indifferent expression, as if he was talking about something insignificant and not closely related to his life.
What had happened to him? Ye Yuning was even more confused.
Shen Yunxing did not speak further. He lifted his robes and sat down confidently under the tree. The summer wind suddenly arrived, lifting up a green leaf and falling down from above as if it was raining.
In the green rain, Ye Yuning and Shen Yunxing stood together, speechless. In the eyes of Fei Xiu and Mu Yurou, this scene was indescribably harmonious and beautiful.
After a moment, a sudden shout broke the silence.
"Miss!" Ye Yuning regained her senses and recognized the voice of the shopkeeper.
"If Young Master Shen needs help, you can look for me. As long as I can help, I won't refuse." Ye Yuning bowed towards Shen Yunxing, then brought the two servants back to the shop.
What she did not know was that, behind her, Shen Yunxing watched her leaving and the corners of his mouth hooked into a meaningful smile.
In the store, the shopkeeper was holding a embroidered box, looking for Ye Yuning. The moment Ye Yuning appeared, he immediately went forward and handed the embroidered box over.
"Manager, why have you been gone so long?" Ye Yuning indicated for Fei Xiu to take the embroidered box, and asked casually.
"Please forgive my apologies, Miss. The shop assistant below thought that this is the shop's goods and stored it in another warehouse. It took me a long time to find it. It's a small sin to keep young miss waiting. " The manager hurriedly apologized.
Ye Yuning naturally would not punish him for such a small matter, and only warned him a little, then pointed at the spice she was looking at and said: "In a while, get people to bring these back to the residence."
The manager quickly nodded his head in agreement.
It was late in the morning, so Ye Yuning took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her forehead. She frowned: "It's too hot today, Fei Xiu, Fei Qing.
As the shopkeeper respectfully sent them off, the three of them quickly left the place, got on the carriage and drove back home. Ye Yuning's visit did not alarm anyone, her house was outside, naturally the more restrained they were, the more low-profile they were, and the more they could display their status.
After returning to the Fragrant Garden, Ye Yuning went to the main courtyard first.
Lady Wen had returned before her and was talking to the old lady beside her. When she saw Ye Yuning enter, she smiled: "Yu Ning, quickly come over, your godmother had someone send some things over."
Ye Yuning's eyes lit up, and quickly stepped forward. There were three rattan boxes in the room, one of them was open, and a few muslin brocades were piled up in the middle.
"This is the famous Misty Cloud Silk from the Northern Lands. It looks like the clouds covering your body when you put it on, and it's especially beautiful." Lady Wen said while stroking the veil, her expression soft and gentle.
When Ye Yuning saw the veil, he was instantly overjoyed. She could not help but go and look at it.
"The top three pieces of cloud silk were newly acquired by your godmother. Below are some soft tobacco and the like. Your godmother's letter said that she wanted you to use it to send her a good friend. "
Ye Yuning flipped it open and sure enough, there were seven to eight colorful muslin under the vine box. Other than the muslin, there were also other muslin that only existed in the north. These threads of silk were also extremely precious in Yunzhou, and even the common officials' families would find it difficult to obtain them.
There was also a box of gems.
"This is?" Ye Yuning raised her eyes and looked at her mother.
Lady Wen caressed the top of Ye Yuning's head and said gently: "We, Yu Ning have reached the age of marriage yet your foster mother has sent you these as part of your dowry."
Hearing that, Ye Yuning's expression froze, and she buried her head in Lady Wen's chest. Lady Wen thought that she was embarrassed and didn't mind. Instead, she discussed the matter of making clothes with the mama for a few days.
Those three pieces of cloud silk were suitable for wearing now.
Ye Yuning heard his mother's excited words and sighed in her heart. How could she tell her mother that she didn't want to get married? At the very least, she didn't want to get married so early.
The experiences from his previous life made it impossible for Ye Yuning to trust men. But she knew that one day she would have to marry, but before that, she had to resolve the crisis in Ye's Mansion and protect her parents.
With that thought in mind, Ye Yuning frowned and thought deeply. She did not even hear Lady Wen call her.
"Yu Ning? "Yu Ning?" Lady Wen called out a few times but did not reply. She reached out her hand to Ye Yuning's forehead, "Could it be that you're too tired?"
Ye Yuning regained her senses, and immediately shook her head to explain: "I'm not tired, I'm just thinking about something." Pausing for a moment, she then asked: "Mother, the spices sold in your workshop, are they prescriptions left behind by our Wen Family?"
Lady Wen nodded her head, with a smile on her face, "That's right, the recipe was given to me by your ancestor. Furthermore, the masters who make the incense have all been with your grandfather for many years, and their skills in cooking are extremely high. "
Ye Yuning looked around and saw that other than the mother and daughter pair, there was only Nanny Liu, her trusted aide that was by his mother's side. Nanny Liu was his mother's wet nurse. Although her intelligence was limited, she was extremely loyal to his mother.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Yuning spoke in a low voice: "Mother knows that the outer ancestor left behind a box, and it contains all kinds of ancient spice formulas?"
Ye Yuning noticed that the spices she saw in the spice shop were slightly different from the spices she had seen in the spice books, so she asked. Previously, she had asked the shopkeeper to deliver some spices because she wanted to study them thoroughly.
The Han Chao Fragrance Workshop's spices, though excellent, were not unique. The Yin Zhou was small, which was why the Fragrant Storms were doing such a good business. However, if it was placed in a bustling place like Jin'ling or Yan Jing, it would be very ordinary.
As the wife of the Marquis, Ye Yuning had also been to Yan Jing in his previous life, and was deeply impressed by the bustling and prosperous there.
Lady Wen did not expect her to ask that, her face was filled with surprise: Nanny Liu, watch outside.
After sending Nanny Liu to the doorkeeper, Lady Wen dragged Ye Yuning into the inner room and asked: "Yu Ning, how did you know about this?"
"I found it a few days ago when my daughter was rummaging through some old stuff."
Ye Yuning found an excuse to cover it up, bit her lower lip lightly, and said: "Mother, rumors have spread outside that our Wen Family has a large inheritance, and there are even some who call us Wen Family s that were as wealthy as nations … However, according to what my daughter knows, the only things my grandfather left behind after he passed away were the boxes of books on the land.
