Phoenix’s Requiem

Chapter 7: Clean up the inner courtyard

Views:

As a famous family in Liguo, even though the number of people is small, the towering gate reveals the status of the Lin family in Liguo as a whole.

As soon as Yun Ruoyan entered, the two cousins ran out of the house excitedly, wrapping around her legs: "Sister, sister! You haven't come to see us for a long time!"

I don't know if it's Yun Ruoyan's psychological effect, but she thinks that these two calls of sister are better than those of the Yun family's sisters.

Under their leadership, Yun Ruoyan went to Lin Zainan's pharmacy. Lin Zainan seemed to be pleasantly surprised by the arrival of this granddaughter, and hurriedly called her to rest outside the screen of the medicine furnace.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yun Ruoyan went straight to the point and took out the silver bracelet on her wrist.

Lin Zainan recognized this silver bracelet at a glance. It was the dowry he prepared for Yun Ruoyan's mother, and was later given to Yun Ruoyan by her mother.

The only difference is that the delicate pattern of the silver bracelet is stained with black burnt color.

"Is there poison in your body?" Lin Zainan's eyes fell on Yun Ruoyan's birthmark.

Yun Ruoyan admired secretly, as expected of the number one pharmacist in the empire, those eyes are very hot. Yun Ruoyan said: "Grandfather, I suspect that someone from the Yun family planted a chronic poison in my body."

Lin Zainan was a little surprised at the courage of his granddaughter, but he didn't think about it any more. He just stroked his gray beard and thought, "Ruoyan, if you can bear the pain, I can help you see what is going on. What poison."

Yun Ruoyan hurriedly said: "It's just pain, of course Ruoyan can bear it!"

Lin Zainan glanced at her approvingly, then waved his hand, and ordered the two younger sisters of the Lin family to get the blood collection.

"Ruoyan, do you still remember yourself back then?" Lin Zainan asked.

Yun Ruoyan stared at the No. 1 pharmacist in Shen Yuan Continent, and her thoughts went back to a few years ago.

At that time, I was found to be a rare genius who practiced pharmacists, but then for unknown reasons, my talent became weaker and weaker. Until now, I couldn't even break through the most basic third level of Sword Master!

You know, in Shenyuan Continent, even the most mediocre person can cultivate to the third level of Sword Master!

Not only that, while Yun Ruoyan's talent was being lost, the birthmark on her face was gradually expanding...

If the appearance of this birthmark is related to Yun Ruoyan's poisoning, is it possible...

"Grandfather, are you saying that this poison has limited my talent in cultivation?" Yun Ruoyan boldly put forward her conjecture.

Lin Zainan nodded, thinking heavily: "It is very possible, I will study for a few more days, hoping to find a way to detoxify."

Yun Ruoyan pondered for a moment: "Have you heard of similar poisons before?"

"Because I haven't heard of it, I'm even more worried." Lin Zainan said, "I've been retired for a long time, maybe there may be a rookie in refining medicine in the rivers and lakes."

"Yeah." Yun Ruoyan responded, "I trouble Grandpa to worry about Ruoyan, Ruoyan still has some things at home, so I left first."

"Go." Lin Zainan didn't hold back, watching Yun Ruoyan salute and leave.

This time when Yun Ruoyan came to visit, she was obviously much calmer and more stable than before. Lin Zainan noticed it. Although he was a little puzzled, he was more happy. He quietly watched Yun Ruoyan go away, and then slowly closed the door.

Yun Ruoyan went all the way back to Tinglan Garden, and ordered Shaoyao to summon all the servants in the courtyard. The reason why she came back in such a hurry was because she knew that since she was poisoned by chronic poison, it must be caused by the people around her.

It seems that she has to clean up the population of Tinglanyuan.

She can trust Shao Yao and Xi Lan. Needless to say, Shaoyao, she has always protected herself, otherwise she would not be regarded as a thorn in An's side; although Xilan has some petty theft problems, but that is what happened after she married into the Pei family. Xi Lan can only rely on these small actions to maintain the livelihood of the two of them in Pei's house.

Although all the servants of Ting Lanyuan were summoned, but counting it down, there were only four or five people, it was really deserted.

Yun Ruoyan sipped her tea, not in a hurry, while quietly observing the movements of the people in the courtyard.

At the beginning, those servants were still whispering to each other lazily, and some even knelt down and wanted to cross the line to ask questions—but Xi Lan stared back.

After a long time, the servants of Ting Lanyuan became guilty again, and looked up at Yun Ruoyan. The eldest lady of the Yun family was still drinking tea calmly, treating them as nothing.

For the first time, these servants saw a trace of majesty from this ugly woman.

Finally, Yun Ruoyan spoke: "I like quietness, and Tinglanyuan is also a small place, so there are no need for so many people, whoever wants to leave, just take three taels of silver from Shaoyao, and go out of the house to make a living."

"Three taels!" There was a surprised voice from the crowd.

Yun Ruoyan glanced at her phoenix eyes, and the man quickly lowered his head. For a long while, no one spoke again.

"This Tinglan Court is no better than the courtyards of other ladies and wives of the Yun family. It would be uncomfortable for you to come here. I don't like my father, but I don't intend to change the status quo. Don't be reserved. If you want to leave, you can go to Shaoyao's to get it. Silver taels, enough for you to set up a shop and live well. This is only this one chance, if you miss it, there will be no next time."

As soon as the words fell, I heard a timid voice: "Miss... I, I take it."

Yun Ruoyan smiled and motioned for Shao Yao to send the silver over.

Xi Lan stared at the gleaming white silver, reluctant to give it up for a while.

If there is one, there are two, not long after, of the five servants, only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was still kneeling on the ground, her eyes flickering.

Yun Ruoyan saw that she was moved: "Aren't you going to accept it?"

"Miss Hui, Ling Lan is willing to serve Miss all her life... she will never turn her back on Miss!" The woman buried her head deeply.

Yun Ruoyan sneered. She intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Shao Yao and Xi Lan, Xi Lan seemed to have not yet come out of the shadow of the few taels of silver, but Shao Yao also frowned.

Shao Yao is really smart, she didn't say anything, Shao Yao already understood what she meant.

Three taels of silver is not a small amount, there is no lucrative money to be made in Tinglan Garden, let alone the loyalty of the servants to her, a lost lady. Lily of the valley still chose to stay in such a situation with obvious advantages and disadvantages, there must be some reason why she must stay...

The reason for this can only be that she is entrusted by others and is a matter of loyalty. Even the benefit she got from the client was far more than the three taels of silver.

"Bold!" Yun Ruoyan threw down the teacup.

Lily of the valley trembled, and finally realized that something was wrong!

"Put poison on master, Ling Lan, you are so brave!" Yun Ruoyan told the truth of the matter word by word.

Shaoyao and Xilan beside them finally understood what was going on, and their faces showed shock.
