This was really too strange!
“What does Auntie Lan have in common with Tong Yan? So this snake only recognizes these two people?” I asked in puzzlement.
I sized Tong Yan up from top to bottom.
Tong Yan and Aunt Lan rarely interacted. They seemed to be people from two different worlds in their lives. How could they have the same characteristics?
“Yilan Grass!” Mr. Li suddenly took off a small fragrance pouch from Tong Yan’s waist.
Tong Yan had always been wearing the clothes of Mr. Li’s clansmen. There was a small sachet on his waist. The herbs in the sachet were random. It all depended on what Tong Yan had been studying recently.
Yilan grass was a flower that Tong Yan had liked since summer. She refined some essential oil and made incense from it. Mai Qi once brought a little for Auntie Lan, and Auntie Lan liked it very much. Tong Yan said that this essential oil smelled the same as a flower on her home island. Later, Tong Yan specially made a bottle for Jing Ni to bring to Aunt Lan.
The reason why this snake attacked Auntie Lan and Tong Yan precisely was that they had the same scent of Yilan Grass.
Yilan grass was not a very expensive thing, and few people noticed it. It was very rare. Among so many of us, only Auntie Lan and Tong Yan used it.
Auntie Lan didn’t publicize it everywhere, so the person who knew that Auntie Lan used Yilan grass must be someone close to her!
What a scheming person. She was familiar with Aunt Lan’s habits and could also teach snakes. In this case, the scope seemed to be much smaller.
What kind of person was he? Why was he so sneaky?
Jing Tian and I were confused.
Mr. Li checked Tong Yan’s pulse and prescribed some medicine for her to drink.
Tong Yan’s expression eased up a lot. It seemed that she was really alright. My heart was also relieved.
Su Qing knocked on the door and came in. “Master Qi, there’s a Miss Gu Yan among the people who came with Miss Jing Yan. She said that she wants to see Miss Ye Qian.”
I immediately picked up the phone and said, “I’ll call Ye Qian and ask her to come over.”
Gu Yan probably had something to say to Ye Qian. At a time like this, she could only turn to Ye Qian for help. She might be able to tell Ye Qian some inside information, which would be convenient.
Su Qing continued, “Two young ladies said that the second madam of the Jing family has been in close contact with a lady from a wealthy family recently. They said that the lady’s stature is very similar to that of our Madam Jing. Su Qing and I think that the person they are talking about might be Xiao Zhi.”
Jing Tian and I exchanged a glance. We already knew that it must be Xiao Zhi.
This completely made sense.
When Xiao Zhi came to seek refuge with Auntie Lan, she knew of her habits and the reason why Auntie Lan liked Yilan Grass.
It was too easy to train a snake with Tong Zhuo as a backing.
I exhaled. “She’s really not worthy of pity. She actually did such a terrible thing to her sister. She’s really courting death! Jing Tian, I think I should meet her.”
Jing Tian said, “I’ll do it myself. Don’t get involved!”
“It’s such an important matter, yet you want me to stay out of it. That’s impossible! We’ve chased her all the way to the end of the world. How can we not give her a final ending?”
As we were talking, Fao Da came in. “Master Qi, Madam Xiao Zhi is waiting outside the main gate. She said that she wants to see the Madam and has been kowtowing at the gate. The brother at the gate said that this is not good, so he asked if we could bring her into the manor house so that this wouldn’t be an embarrassment.”
I furrowed my brows and was about to speak when Jing Tian said, “Bring her in and arrange for her to be in the living room of the main house. I’ll go meet her. Is she alone?”
Gao Da said, “She has her husband and daughter.”
Interesting.
This was really too strange!
