He lost his appetite for the delicacies on the table, because the previous discovery was inevitably somewhat boring.

He Chengyu even opened up a bottle of good aged red wine, while eating, An Ruyou pondered on the clues he had gotten.

After hastily eating, He Chengyu took An Ruyou to the flower room, where they stored the flower soil.

It was unknown if it was for hygiene or some other reason, but the flower earth was being isolated by the flower room in a small corner. An Ruyou pushed open the door, and the dense smell of arsenic did not appear.

"Is there?" Although He Chengyu did not have the same level of talent as An Ruyou, he could still sense that nothing was amiss.

"Nope." An Ruyou shook her head, "Not a bit, it's very clean."

At this time, a box placed in the corner attracted An Ruyou's attention, "Can I open it?"

"See!" He Chengyu felt that the clue he found with much difficulty had ended, and he felt extremely uneasy in his heart.

An Ruyou opened the box and sure enough, within the tools, there was a shovel emitting the smell of arsenic.

She took out the shovel for He Chengyu to see, "It's right here."

The making of this shovel was very exquisite, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that such an exquisite handle should not be used on a shovel head that was so worn. There was only one possibility, that the forger had deliberately lowered the content of the steel in order to ensure the arsenic content, resulting in the alloy being unstable and heavily worn.

An Ruyou said, "From the looks of it, this shovel should be the same as the other tools, but what do you think is the difference between it and the other tools?"

"Wear" He Chengyu also saw the inklings.

An Ruyou said, "Yes, even if it was used everyday, it should not have been worn to such a state, so I think that the person who made the shovel was not the one who tried to kill Grandpa He, but he must know who it was."

He Chengyu took the shovel and picked up a stone to carve on the back of the shovel. As expected, with just a little force, metal fragments would fall down, causing the shovel's hardness to be high, but its fragility was also high. Only then would it be able to make sure that there was a sufficient amount of arsenic that would remain in the flower soil every time it was used.

"This is too scary. I never thought that someone would actually use such a method to harm my grandfather. Isn't this way too scheming?"

An Ruyou comforted him, "Bad people, in order to achieve their own goals, will always think of a perfect method. In fact, it was just a coincidence that we found the incense burner today, and if not, this secret would have been buried forever. Perhaps one day when the shovel is broken, it might even be replaced by a servant.

He Chengyu said, "If it's like that, we might even think that Grandfather died because he was too old, unable to resist biology."

"It's a good thing that everything was done in time. Since I found out what happened, I should quickly think of a way to find out who bought this shovel and where I can buy it from!"

He Chengyu nodded his head, "Come with me to the study room, Grandfather has kept all the bills for the past few years, all the expenses are recorded on there, we will definitely find out something from them."

An Ruyou was very happy, "That's great, this has saved us a lot of time to look around."

An Ruyou wrapped the shovel up and stuffed it into his bag, closed the box and followed He Chengyu out of the flower room.

On the way, An Ruyou had always been thinking about one thing, and that was how could this person be so sure that the Old Man He himself was the only one who knew about this matter. Perhaps it was not as she had guessed, this person must be someone who had a good relationship with the entire He Family, not only did she know the lifestyle of the Old Man He, he was also very familiar with the habits of others.

However, An Ruyou did not understand one thing, He Chengyu had already become the He family's new ruler, if he was here for the He family, he had to poison He Chengyu at least, in order to achieve the desired effect faster! The Old Man He had already retreated behind the scenes. Other than rarely going out to sightsee, even if they occasionally came out of the mountain, they would only be considered to be attending some of the He clan's big events to help He Chengyu settle the situation. Whether or not they would interfere with the He clan's business, An Ruyou did not know.

Compared to the grand and imposing main house in front of him, this place seemed to have a lot of history. Even the staircases were made from concrete slabs made from old buildings, which not only weighed a lot of weight, but also put a lot of pressure on the workers during the construction process. It was also not very beautiful, so after being in fashion for a while, they left the decorating world. Those were the memories of her childhood.

"This house and the villa in the front yard were not built once, right?"

He Chengyu, who was walking in front, acknowledged, "How did you notice? We even renovated a small building when we were building the villa! "

"It's a staircase," An Ruyou said with a smile. "It's hard to change a staircase, so it's the most suitable thing to embody the history of a building."

He Chengyu looked at An Ruyou in shock, "You know more about constructions than I ever thought possible. I thought you were just a little girl who only came out of your house halfway, but it looks like you are very suitable to do this profession.

couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my god, is there still such a spectacular world hidden here?"

He Chengyu nodded his head and walked into the bookshelf, "When I was young, when I was bored, I would often come here and rebuild the main house. I also rejected the idea of rebuilding the small building."

"As a child? When there was no meaning to it, Young Master He? I thought your childhood would be one of those toy mountains where groups of people play with you! " An Ruyou looked at the notebooks on the bookshelves, they were managed very well, they were arranged neatly according to the year, some of them had consumables written on them, and when she opened them, she could see that it was all about food expenses. Some of them even had furniture written on them, but in reality, they were all written on the sofas, it was nothing more than a small detail.

He Chengyu said with a wry smile, "So what if you have piles of toys? It doesn't matter if someone wants to play with me.

That time, she was especially envious of the little bear by her bedside. After Qiao Ruoan fell in love with the Barbie doll, the little bear was naturally abandoned, and An Ruyou still remembered how happy she was when she dug the little bear out from the trash bin. That day, Qiao Ruoan spent the entire afternoon playing Princess with his friends, while Qiao Ruoyou herself, Cat, was washing the little bear in the bathroom, was very happy as well.

"Maybe the bear is important to me." An Ruyou started to understand He Chengyu a little.

Seeing that the topic was getting heavy, An Ruyou immediately asked another question to relieve the awkwardness, "Can you tell me who is managing this place? I feel that this person is really powerful. Not only is he organized, he's easy to find.

"It's me," He Chengyu said. "I'm in charge of managing this place, so ever since Grandfather found out that I really liked this place, he gave me the key to manage it.

"It's amazing how busy you are at work."

"I don't have any, but it's actually easy to organize them. Also, after I sort them out, all I have to do is place the new ones on the bookshelves," He Chengyu said as he pulled out a book from the bookshelves.

He flipped through the books for a while, then said to An Ruyou, "I remember that it was my seventeenth birthday when I bought the garden tools. That day, my grandfather said that I was about to become an adult, and he hoped that I could plant a tree in the courtyard. This tree will grow along with me, and become a milestone in my life.

"And then?"

"Then grandpa sent someone to buy a new shovel. He even said that it's alright, the old one won't come and the new one won't come if you don't go."

An Ruyou looked at He Chengyu. Every time she mentioned the term "grandfather", he would unconsciously become gentle, like a child talking about the most cherished rainbow in their heart. Perhaps to He Chengyu, the Old Man He was someone who could light up his life.

"Perhaps this is kinship!" An Ruyou thought in her heart.

"Let's take a look at the records!"

Flipping open the history book, although the pages were slightly yellow, there was no smell of mildew. It seemed like the wooden house's ventilation was the best.

When An Ruyou was flipping through the records, He Chengyu stood up and said, "Would you like some tea? I have new tea for this year. "

"Alright!"

After a while, the sound of boiling water could be heard, and He Chengyu walked over with a burst of refreshing fragrance.

"Flower tea? I thought you would like those precious tea leaves! "

"The scented tea is more fragrant."

An Ruyou suddenly thought of something, "You seem to really like the aroma of tea, right? Previously, I remembered that the fragrance on your body was also Bao Ge Li's white tea."

He Chengyu turned his head away, "It was given to me by a friend, I couldn't be bothered to buy it myself, so I kept using it."

"So it's like that!" An Ruyou placed the teacup back at the window, and the night wind blew the water vapor on the cup, making it seem extremely tranquil. The hearts of everyone who saw it quietened down, as if the world had changed.

Smelling the air filled with the unique smell of the paper and the fragrance of the flower tea, not only An Ruyou, but even He Chengyu was immersed in it. The summer night's breeze brought about bursts of cicadas' chirping, as if he was a child's night.

"Looking at his current state, he's quite satisfied." He Chengyu reclined on the bench, looking at the girl beside him, nodding slightly, and flipping through the notes on the table, a strand of long hair flowed down the side of his face, causing people to want to help her hide it behind her ear.

He Chengyu thought, and also extended his hand.

An Ruyou had been looking at the records the entire time, but she did not notice He Chengyu's actions. Only until his hair was pinned behind his ears did he embarrassedly smile, looking extremely cute and adorable.
