C20 Murder

The Fragrance Inn was located on the side of the street, and the store was very spacious. All kinds of spices were placed on the shelves. Before entering the door, one could smell a refreshing fragrance.

What made Ye Yuning feel strange was that the smell produced by the combination of many kinds of spices would be very strong and choking, but there was none here.

She stepped into the store, and the shopkeeper was stunned. He hurriedly went up and bowed, "Miss, why are you here?"

Ye Yuning looked at him and asked curiously, "Have you seen me before?"

This should be her first time entering this store. How did the shopkeeper recognize her at first glance?

"I have never seen Miss before, but Miss and Madam are very similar. Anyone who has seen the two of you knows that you are mother and daughter. How could I not recognize you!" The shopkeeper laughed.

Ye Yuning was very happy when she heard that. Her brows relaxed, and her eyes were full of smiles, "You know how to talk. No wonder you can be the shopkeeper." Ye Yuning paused, looked around, and asked, "Where's my mother? Is she not in the store?"

"Miss, you came at the wrong time. Madam left an hour ago."

Ye Yuning couldn't help but feel disappointed. Why did she miss her mother? She pouted and waved her hand. She didn't have the interest to look at the fragrance.

"Since that's the case, let's go back!" If she wanted to look at the fragrance, she could have the shopkeeper send it into the house at any time. There was no need to waste time here.

Seeing that Ye Yuning was about to leave, the shopkeeper hurried forward, "Is Miss leaving? Please wait a moment."

"What is it?" Ye Yuning stopped and her face was filled with curiosity.

"Just a few days ago, the old master ordered someone to bring some things back. He said that he would give it to the young lady. I will go and get it now." Ye Yuning did not have time to ask, so the shopkeeper quickly walked into the backyard.

Ye Yuning was a little puzzled, "Father sent it over?"

Her father, Ye Shenghe, was an official outside, and he had two aunties by his side to serve him. It was rare for him to return home, so he often asked someone to bring things back. Every time Ye Shenghe brought something back, from the old mistress to the third wife's nephew who was less than a week away, he would bring everything back. Why would he bring something for her alone this time? With this question in mind, Ye Yuning entered the inner room with the help of the shopkeeper.

After the time it took to finish a pot of tea, the shopkeeper still did not appear. Ye Yuning was bored, so she stood up to look at the spices.

The spices that were sold in the shop were all common incense. Ye Yuning had seen the incense in the book before, so she couldn't help but be more curious about whether the incense was the same as what was written in the book.

After looking at it for about the time it takes to finish a pot of tea, that shopkeeper still had not appeared. Ye Yuning frowned slightly, "Fei Qing, follow me to the backyard to take a look. Why hasn't the shopkeeper come out yet?"

Fei Qing answered crisply and followed Ye Yuning to the backyard. The backyard of the incense workshop was even bigger than the front yard. The inside of the yard was clean and tidy, and there were two willow trees planted in the yard. The branches of the willow trees were blown by the wind, causing Ye Yuning, who had smelled the incense, to feel refreshed.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Yuning felt her mind become clear, and her eyes became brighter like stars.

Suddenly, Ye Yuning's eyes focused and looked behind the tree. "Who is it?"

"I am indeed fated to meet Third Miss Ye here." A clear voice came from the man. Soon after, a tall figure slowly walked out from behind the tree and appeared in Ye Yuning's line of sight.

"Shen Yunxing?"

Shen Yunxing was dressed in a long blue robe with a jade pendant hanging on his waist. He walked out from behind the tree and said, "Long time no see, Third Miss Ye!"

Ye Yuning slightly pursed her lips, and her expression quickly turned calm from the initial surprise. She asked, "I should be the one asking this. Young Master Shen went out alone. Aren't you afraid that your old illness will relapse?" Ye Yuning raised her eyebrows and covered half of her face with a fan.

She could tell that Shen Yunxing's body was still poisonous. His face was pale with a hint of green. That day, Shen Yunxing's expression had clearly improved after taking the Thousand Revolution. The poison should have been cured.

Could it be that the Thousand Revolution was unable to completely remove the poison? Ye Yuning was puzzled.

When Yi Zu gave her the Thousand Revolution, he had said that the poison in this world could be cured by the Thousand Revolution, except for the poison called Heartbreak.

The Heartbreak was made up of dozens of different poisons. It was terrifying, but it would not immediately take someone's life. It would usually cause one to suffer for a day and night before it suddenly erupted. Because the symptoms were not obvious when the poison was first administered, it was often neglected until the poison was released.

Ye Yuning did not know much about poisons, but she did know a little when she was studying the incense formula. After thinking for a while, Ye Yuning signaled Fei Xiu and Fei Qing to retreat. She then took a step forward and stopped half a meter away from Shen Yunxing. She lowered her voice and asked, "Is Young Master Shen still poisoned? Can you tell me what kind of poison it is?"

Shen Yunxing was surprised, "Third Miss Ye is quite concerned about me. Do you regret what the young master said about repaying the debt of gratitude?"

Ye Yuning was stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized what he meant. Her face turned slightly red and she said angrily, "Young Master Shen, I'm talking to you about something serious!"

Shen Yunxing was a cynical person and he was very playful. When he saw Ye Yuning turn angry from embarrassment, he immediately laughed, "Third Miss Ye, don't be angry. I was just joking with you."

Ye Yuning glared at him and said in a low voice, "Young Master's face is green. It seems like the poison has not been cleared yet. But according to what I know, the poison is almost undetectable. There is only one thing that is poisonous. It is called the Heartbroken Death."

Before she finished her sentence, Shen Yunxing's eyes flashed with a bright light. He quickly walked forward and grabbed Ye Yuning's wrist. The three of them were startled by his sudden action. After a while, Fei Qing was the first to react and exclaimed.

"What are you doing? Let go of the young lady!" Fei Qing said as she raised her hand and slapped Ye Yuning.

Shen Yunxing raised his eyebrows and dodged Fei Qing. Instead, he pulled Ye Yuning to his side and trapped her with his right arm.

"Young Master Shen, are you not afraid of me reporting you for molesting a commoner?" Ye Yuning suppressed the anger in her heart and raised her head. Her eyes were as deep as the night, and a cold light flashed in them.

"I have no other intentions. I just want to ask, how did Third Miss Ye know about the death of the intestine?" Ye Yuning noticed that although Shen Yunxing's tone was indifferent, when he said those words, his body clearly trembled unconsciously.

He knew that he had died from the intestine?

Ye Yuning quickly guessed.

According to Yi Zu, the death of the intestine was incurable. Only a thousand opportunities could temporarily suppress it. Ye Yuning raised her head and looked at Shen Yunxing's handsome face. The image of him in her previous life appeared in her mind.

In her previous life, Shen Yunxing died of illness when he was 26 years old. He never married, and the Shen Residence kept a low profile about his illness. Even the funeral was extremely low-profile.

Could it be that the death of Shen Yunxing in her previous life was related to the death of the intestine?

However, he was only sixteen this year. If he was to die from the intestine, even if he had the thousand opportunities to suppress it, he would definitely not be able to survive for more than a year. Ye Yuning's doubts grew more and more, but she was unable to ask.

"Young Master Shen, you don't need to be suspicious. I have a thousand opportunities, and knowing the death of the intestine is not difficult. The thousand opportunities can suppress the death of the intestine for a year. If Young Master Shen needs it, I still have two here."

After saying that, Ye Yuning lifted her sleeves lightly, revealing a jade-like wrist, and took off the bracelet.
