Chapter 282 The Source of Musk

She had been idle all morning, and her legs were about to break. But after returning to the room, she still didn't have time to rest. She directly asked A Cai and A Hong to make incense from the ladies' rooms.

mark it, then spread it out for her to examine carefully.

Although among these incense, there are flavors of mint, rose, clove, lotus root, agarwood and angelica, but without exception, there is another flavor mixed in here.

She took a pack of incense and looked at it carefully. After separating the rose fragments from the fragments of another plant, she found that there were some small fluff on it.

She picked up the little fluff and looked carefully through the sunlight.

Oh my gosh!

This is musk...

After getting this news, she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Upon seeing this, A Cai and A Hong asked hurriedly,

"Princess, what did you find?"

Luo Lan frowned and said softly:

"If my guess is correct, these incense contains musk. Women will be fine if they smell this fragrance for a short period of time, but if they smell it for a long time, it will cause infertility."

Hearing this, Ah Hong and Ah Cai opened their mouths in astonishment, and Ah Cai said quickly:

"Does anyone not want them to be pregnant?"

Ah Hong bit her lip and nodded.

"It must be like this, otherwise why are all these women infertile? It seems that the people in this Zhuangzi are really scary."

Luo Lan frowned and said softly:

"Don't make this matter public for now. Since someone wants to do this, there must be her purpose."

Ah Hong looked at Luo Lan and lowered her voice and asked:

"Princess, do you suspect that the eldest lady did this?"

Luo Lan shook his head with suspicion, "Not sure, but she is the most suspicious, because she is the only one in this house who has a son and a daughter."

A Cai took a deep breath and said bitterly:

"How could she be like this? She is a woman, but she deprives others of their right to be mothers. This is really hateful."

"Don't jump to conclusions so early. Go arrange lunch. After dinner, go to the incense shop in the city."

Seeing that she was about to get up, Ah Hong stopped her.

"Princess, I think we should leave this matter alone. If it is found out that the person who poisoned these women is the eldest lady, then the village will be in chaos."

Luo Lan agreed with Ah Hong's cautious attitude, she nodded and said:

"I know, I just want to confirm our guess. Besides, we are just going to take a look and make arrangements."

Seeing her firm attitude, Ah Cai hurriedly went to pass the food, and Ah Hong hurriedly cleared the table.

After lunch, they came to the incense shop in the city. It seemed very quiet. Except for two young ladies who came here for a walk, there was no one else.

After Luo Lan came in with the two girls, the landlady greeted her warmly.

"Miss, do you want to choose incense?"

Luo Lan looked at her, she was a slightly fat middle-aged woman, fair and quiet, and her whole person gave off a shrewd and capable feeling.

She nodded, "Yes, I'm looking for an incense that can calm people's nerves. Do you have one here?"

"Of course there is. This kind of jasmine scent can give off a refreshing fragrance, and mint can freshen the air and relax people. They can all help people fall asleep."

Luo Lan took the incense in her hand and smelled it. There was nothing wrong with the smell, and it was not mixed with the musk she found in the incense of the Zhuang women.

She put down the spices in her hand and asked again,

"Do you have any musk here?"

"Yes, but musk is refreshing and cannot help people fall asleep. Moreover, the girl is not old, so she must not have given birth yet. Musk is not suitable for long-term exposure to women who have not given birth. According to me, you should use this jasmine spice.

Bar!"

It seemed that the landlady knew something about spices. Just as she was about to continue asking, someone walked in.

"Sister Hua, are the spices ready?"

"Miss Hu is here. It has been prepared for a long time. I will get it for you."

Luo Lan looked for a reputation. This woman looked very familiar with this place, and she looked a little arrogant.

The landlady handed the spices to her, she paid the money and left quickly.

The landlady returned to Luo Lan and apologized non-stop, "I'm sorry for neglecting the girl. That's a regular customer. Have you thought about it?"

Luo Lan looked at the woman's leaving figure and asked:

"She is from Longwu Villa?"

The landlady nodded in surprise, "How do you know? She is the girl next to Mrs. Longwu Villa. She comes to pick up spices twice a month. She is a regular customer of mine."

"Then what kind of spices does she mix? Give me what she wants."

"Girl, you have really good eyesight. All the spices in Longwu Villa are good. I'll give you two. Just wait."

After saying this, the landlady went to pack the spices. Luo Lan winked at Ah Hong, who nodded and ran out quickly.

After a while, the landlady brought a few packages of spices to her and said with a smile:

"It's exactly the same as what Miss Hu took away just now."

After Luo Lan nodded, he said to A Cai:

"Pay it."

A Cai took out a bunch of copper coins from his pocket and gave it to the landlady, then went out with Luo Lan.

After leaving the incense shop, Luo Lan and A Cai strolled on the street for a while before returning to Longwu Villa.

It was almost dusk at this time, and Leng Yu had already come back and was waiting for her.

Seeing her coming back, he rushed over to greet her.

"Lan'er, where have you been?"

"Go to the city and buy some incense. My husband will come back early."

After Leng Yu took her hand and sat down, he nodded solemnly,

"Well, there was news from Zhang Yuan just now."

"How is it?" Luo Lan couldn't wait to ask.

"Zhang Yuan said that the people who live in Lingyun Villa are very leisurely. They only eat and play every day. No one mentions the martial arts competition. The strangest thing is that before these people go to bed every night, someone will give them a glass of fresh milk.

It was said to help them sleep, so they had to drink it."

"Did Zhang Yuan and Xiao Jar drink?"

Leng Yu nodded with a livid face, "Drink it. They said they felt relaxed all over after drinking it, and seemed to have a sense of ecstasy. But when they woke up this morning, they felt weak all over again. So, I'm worried whether they were...

People were poisoned."

Hearing this, Luo Lan frowned, pondered for a while, and then said to Leng Yu:

"Let them find a way to bring some milk out, and let me see what is added to it?"

"Xiao Lingzi told them to find a way to save some milk, but it was difficult for them to figure out Lingyun Villa. There are many people guarding it. This information was brought out through the vendors who delivered food."

Luo Lan said with some worry:

"What should we do?"
