How long did it take to replace it?”

Zi Jin frowned lightly. Zi Jin changed it not long after entering the door. Why did this matter feel a bit too coincidental? She raised her head and looked at Ye Jin and asked: "Brother, have you ever had any doubts about this spice?"

"When I inspected the outer courtyard last time, I specifically ordered people to check all the utensils and spices, and nothing fishy was found." Ye Jin was not a careless person, so he naturally thought of everything he could think of.

Zi Jin nodded gently, "Brother has always been meticulous and considerate in his work, so naturally he will not ignore this. In ancient times, there were many precious spices that were good for making people infertile, and musk was one of the best, but ordinary people couldn't afford it.

Things are valuable, but they are nothing in a family like ours."

Ye Fan said: "The scent of musk is rich, but the fragrance of this fumigation is extremely light. There is a big difference between the two. It is naturally not musk."

Zi Jin looked at Ye Fan and felt a headache, a bit like a donkey's head that doesn't fit into a horse's mouth. However, he still didn't want to ruin the atmosphere of the peace talks at the moment, so he tried his best to endure it, and then said: "I'm just making an analogy, this

Since the eldest brother has checked the spices, there is no problem, but Mingxuan just said that he used to use this spice to smoke clothes, but then he suddenly changed it after I got married. Isn't this strange? If the same thing is used

It has not been replaced for several years, so why did it suddenly be replaced?"

Men are very particular about this. Even if the spices used to smoke clothes are replaced, they won’t think much about it, or even pay attention to it. Who among grown men would care about such a trivial matter? Only women would care.

Is it plum blossom incense, Sanyuan incense, or other spices used to smoke clothes?

Ye Jin frowned slightly and said slowly: "Did the third brother say something like he didn't like this spice?"

Ye Mingxuan thought hard for a moment, and then said: "I never pay attention to these small things, I probably haven't said that before."

"That's really a bit strange." Zi Jin snorted, looked at the three of them and said, "The spices that have been used for several years are replaced without any explanation. It's not the master's order. Don't you think it's a bit weird?

"

Ye Mingxuan and Zi Jin always had a good understanding of each other, so they said, "Are you suspecting that there is something wrong with this spice? But the eldest brother said that someone had checked it out and there was nothing wrong with it."

Zi Jin sighed and said: "There is another word in this world called mutual growth and mutual restraint. If there is really no problem with this spice, will this spice have any effect when it encounters something else?" Zi Jin felt that it was similar to the ancients.

It was a bit too advanced to say this, so he thought about it and said: "Let's put it this way, mutton is a food we often eat, and bamboo shoots are also our favorite vegetables. Eating these two things separately has no harm at all and is good for the body.

, but once these two things are eaten at the same time, people will be poisoned."

"It's really unheard of. I've never heard of such a thing." Ye Fan exclaimed. It was really unbelievable.

"You can doubt my words. If possible, you can find these two things and try them. You will know if they are true or false. Do I need to lie?" Zi Jin said disdainfully.

Ye Fan was so angry that he jumped on his feet, pointed at Zi Jin, trembling and speechless, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "A good man will not fight with a woman!"

Zi Jin snorted softly, "Good women don't fight with evil men."

Ye Fan was shaking so hard that his whole body turned into a sieve. He was really bullying! But he didn't know how to fight back, so he could only sulk alone without even looking at Zi Jin. Speaking of which, even though Ye Fan had already

He is an adult who has been married for several years, but in modern times, he is just an angry young man, his blood is boiling, it would be strange not to be angry.

People like Ye Jin, Yao Changjie, and Ye Mingxuan, who are young and mature, and have deep connections in the city, are the outliers among the outliers.

Zi Jin stood up slowly and said, "I'll go to the house and see if Ming Xuan's clothes are not made of this kind of spice. Is there anything weird about it?" Zi Jin was afraid that Ye Jin and Ye Fan would have something to say here.

It's hard to say, so just avoid it. After all, not every ancient person can calmly discuss important matters with a woman in the backyard.

After Zi Jin left, Ye Mingxuan looked at Ye Jin and said slowly, "Do you think it's possible?"

Ye Jin shook his head, "I don't know, I've never heard of such a strange thing, but I can ask the doctor. If this is really the case, we can get another clue."

Ye Mingxuan said categorically: "What the little girl said is definitely right. I think you two should find someone to come and see if there is anything in the yard related to this spice. But you must be careful in this matter.

, don’t catch wind of it. In the past few days, I will send people to keep an eye on the people in the washing and smudging rooms, and there must be no negligence."

Ye Jin nodded cautiously, "That's fine, it's always right to be cautious. It would be no fun to scare the snake away and try to lure the snake out of its hole again."

Zi Jin entered Ye Mingxuan's study, turned around and entered the small cubicle at the back. There was a small bed inside. On the north wall stood a rosewood inlaid and enamel-covered copper corner wardrobe. He reached out and opened it. Inside was a stack of

As he piled up the washed clothes, he was greeted by the calm smell of mixed Sanyuan incense. Zi Jin's heart moved slightly. This aroma was very familiar, because Zi Jin liked this smell very much. The incense burner in An Yuan's main room often burned it.

fragrant.

Zi Jin's uneasiness became more and more intense. It seemed that someone was afraid that she would be suspicious. They were afraid that Ye Mingxuan would wear clothes from the outer study room and return to the inner courtyard. Different spices would arouse her suspicion, so even the lavender incense in Ye Mingxuan's outer study room was replaced with

I like the taste. This feeling of being seen through is really unpleasant, very unpleasant.

Zi Jin gently closed the cupboard door, turned to look at the girls, and asked in a low voice: "Did you find anything?"

Du Ruo shook his head, "There's nothing suspicious, it's just strange. This room gives people a very familiar feeling."

Indeed, this house gives people a very familiar feeling, because it feels like it belongs to Yao Zijin. Traces of Zijin can be seen in many small places. There is also a small incense burner on the window sill in his room.

The placement of things on the desk is exactly the same as the small study in An Yuan. They are almost copied. The color of the curtains hanging in this room, the position of the flowers, and even the lichen on the floor are very similar to those in An Yuan.

In a similar way, Zi Jin's hand suddenly clenched.

That kind of flash of panic. In such a very familiar environment, as soon as a person enters the door and sees familiar things, he will naturally relax his nerves. In such a relaxed situation, even if

If there is something wrong, it can easily be ignored.

Humans are actually advanced animals with habitual thinking. It is easy to trust the environment or people you are familiar with. Even if something is wrong, your brain will automatically rationalize it because you trust them. This is a kind of

Natural reaction.

Ye Mingxuan would feel particularly relaxed as soon as he stepped into the door in such an environment that resembled Yu An Yuan. If someone knew something at this time, they probably wouldn't notice it.

Zi Jin just smelled the familiar smell of incense on Ye Jin's clothes. He didn't say it casually, because Zi Jin really felt it was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled it. But Zi Jin was definitely there

In this room, thinking of this, Zi Jin's eyes kept scanning around, and his eyes fell on the hollow jade-carved incense burner on the window sill. He reached out and took it, opened the lid and gently smelled the residual fragrance. It didn't smell like this.

, it seems that the man was more careful than he thought and did not burn this spice in the incense burner.

Now Zi Jin is increasingly suspicious that there is something wrong with the lavender spice. This is really weird.

It's just that Zi Jin searched around the house, but couldn't find what he wanted. For a moment, he felt a little disappointed and sat aside in silence. It's impossible. There is obviously that kind of fragrance, how can he find it?

Not yet?

Du Ruo looked at Zi Jin's distressed look and hurriedly comforted him: "Young madam, don't be anxious, calm down and we'll look for you again."

Shui Rong also said: "Yes, since you can't escape from this house, why can't you find it?"

Xianqiao walked around the room, wanting to dig three feet into the ground before she would stop.

Du Ruo's eyes followed Zi Jin's eyes one by one, falling on every thing in the room. His eyes fell on Duobao Pavilion, and then he said: "I will go and see if there are any objects in Duobao Pavilion."

Something else.”

Duobao Pavilion is full of valuable antique porcelain, and it can indeed hold things inside. Zi Jin nodded. Du Ruo took Xianqian and Shui Rong over and carefully moved them one by one, carefully inspecting them before putting them back.

There were dozens of items inside and outside, and they looked through them one by one. The three of them were so tired that their foreheads were sweating, but they still found nothing.

Zi Jin felt that something was really wrong, and she couldn't believe it. She really couldn't find it. Zi Jin stood up and looked around again, sniffing the aroma vigorously. However, the aroma became much lighter this time, Zi Jin

Jin sighed and leaned weakly against Ye Mingxuan's desk. He didn't expect to accidentally knock over the inkstone. Fortunately, the ink inside had dried, otherwise it would have been splashed all over him.

Du Ruo and others hurriedly came over to help Zi Jin and tidy up the desk that Zi Jin had messed up.

Zi Jin decided to come back another day to take a look. My mind is a little confused today. After I go back, I have to think carefully about where the problem lies. Although Zi Jin is not very sure that the problem is the spice used to smoke the clothes.

But at least there was a direction. How could it be so coincidental that the three brothers all used the same incense, and after he married, the spices Ye Mingxuan used to incense his clothes and the furnishings in the study also changed?

Is it really a coincidence? Zi Jin doesn't believe that there are so many coincidences in the world. If something is abnormal, there must be a monster. There must be some kind of doubt that she has not solved yet.

"Eh? Madam, the ink ingots on your desk are so strange. They are different from the ones in our yard." Shui Rong said in surprise, then picked up an ink ingot on the table she was cleaning up and pointed it towards Zi Jin.

Wave your hands.

Zi Jin thought it was interesting. It was actually a crescent moon. You have to be extra careful when grinding this. Holding it in your hand and looking at it carefully, you can see that this ink ingot is extremely delicate in workmanship. It is shaped like a crescent moon and is painted with gold.

, but there is no signature on the bottom of this ink ingot. Zi Jin frowned slightly, how come there is no signature on it? Each ink ingot will be marked with the name of the ink master and the ink maker.

Holding it in his hand, this ink stick didn't smell as strong as the usual ink sticks. Zi Jin's eyes flashed, he put it to his nose and sniffed lightly, wrinkled his forehead slightly and remained silent.

Du Ruo watched from the side, then looked back at Xianqing. Xianqiao understood, and immediately brought some water, filled it with a small cup and poured it gently into the Songhua River stone inlaid clam pond inkstone on the desk, and then from the red sandalwood inkstone.

Enamel Cloud Head Ink Bed took another ink ingot and slowly grinded the ink.

As the ink slowly melted, a familiar aroma of Zijin slowly came. If you didn't smell it mixed with the smell of oily ink, it would not attract anyone's attention if you didn't sniff it carefully. Zijin's expression changed slightly.

, stretched out his hand to stop his delicate movements, picked up the square inkstone with his own hands, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it carefully, it was indeed that fragrance.

Zi Jin sneered, what a sophisticated method, an unpredictable conspiracy, he actually mixed the spices into the ink ingots, what a clever idea. He used the strong smell of the ink to cover up the smell of the spices. If the spices are rich in fragrance, they will definitely not be able to hide it.

, but the flavor of this spice is very light, and it cannot cover up the smell of oil fume ink. Instead, it is covered by the oil fume ink, which is exactly the result that the person who mixed the spices wants. After so much thought, if this spice has no

Question, Zi Jin refused to believe it no matter what.

Zi Jin looked at the desk and said softly: "Put everything back to its original place. Don't let anyone see that this place has been moved. There is no need to clean up other places deliberately. Others will think that we are here to clean up the study for adults. If there is nothing,

It’s weird to move.”

The three girls hurriedly bowed in response and started working on their own. Zi Jin slowly walked out of the house. The eyes outside the house were warm and soft, but her heart felt cold. She looked at the place where the three brothers of the Ye family were sitting from a distance, and slowly

He paced over, thinking about how to speak about this matter.

When Ye Mingxuan saw Zi Jin coming back, he stood up and asked with a smile: "Have you finished cleaning up? Are you tired? How about we go back first?"

Ye Fan couldn't see how Ye Mingxuan was treating his wife like a dog, so he sneered and turned away.

"Don't leave yet. I have something to say. I will definitely catch the person behind the scenes this time." Zi Jin looked resolute, holding Ye Mingxuan's hand and sitting down again. Ye Jin and Ye Fan were stunned and looked at in shock.

Zijin.
