In the spice shop.

The shopkeeper respectfully took out the order book and showed it to Xie Mingan and Shen Ningning.

It was time for them to stick incense when they arrived. Xie Mingan told the shopkeeper that he wanted to buy the best-selling incense with musk as the main ingredient.

Let the shopkeeper recommend it.

So the enthusiastic shopkeeper took out the volume directly.

"Look, gentlemen, this 'poppy poppy' is the best incense sold in our store."

"It contains twelve kinds of spices, mainly musk, with orchid seeds, gardenia, etc., and a bright fragrance from the Western Regions as tribute."

"Many dignitaries like this one. If you buy it now, you can buy a small box for thirty taels and take it home to try."

Shen Ningning opened it and smelled it, but she couldn't tell whether it was similar to the smell on pearls.

She turned to look at Xie Ming'an, and saw that her second brother had his hands behind his back. He did not come to see this "poppy poppy", but was looking at other spices in the store.

The shopkeeper came forward and said, "Young master, you don't like the 'poppy poppies'? Then try another one. This 'Tian Ye Xing' is also very good. It's most suitable for a person like you who is as beautiful as a tree in the wind."

Xie Mingan shook his head: "I'll take a look."

The shopkeeper could only leave temporarily and let the two brothers and sisters make their own selections.

Shen Ningning walked to her second brother and lowered her voice: "Second brother, what are you doing? Don't you read the volume? Maybe there are clues!"

Xie Mingan glanced sideways at his sister, reached out and pinched her small nose.

"Stupid, there are so many densely packed names, how long do we have to analyze them one by one?"

"Besides, I just took a quick look, and none of the names above are major customers."

"A fragrance that can turn pearls half black must have been used too much. If an ordinary wealthy family comes to buy spices, how can it leave traces on his book?"

Shen Ningning suddenly realized.

What Xie Mingan meant was that whether dignitaries were buying things like clothes or aromatherapy, they always placed orders.

Those are all individual bills.

It is definitely not recorded casually in a book like this.

Xie Mingan picked up a touch of gardenia-scented incense and smelled it.

"This is for you." He said, going to pay.

Shen Ningning opened her watery eyes and grabbed his wrist.

"Brother Stinky, we won't investigate anymore?"

"Check, but for this kind of thing, you have to wait for the opportunity. If you ask directly, the shopkeeper will be suspicious, and it is easy to alert the snake. Just wait."

Xie Mingan went to the counter to pay the bill. There were many guests in the shop, all picking spices together.

When Shen Ningning was bored, she suddenly saw a familiar figure walking into the shop.

"Mrs. Qi?" The girl blinked.

Qi Xiuwei's mother, Yu Shi, came in with her maid. When she looked up, she saw the delicate and delicate princess in the crowd.

She immediately stepped forward, with a full smile on her face: "My wife, Princess, why are you here to pick out the spices?"

Just as Xie Ming'an returned to Shen Ningning after buying spices, he answered smoothly: "Yes, Mrs. Qi is here to buy spices too? If you are an expert, why not recommend some? I want to buy something suitable for my little sister, but she doesn't He is willing to spend my money carelessly, but he always says it is unnecessary."

Shen Ningning hit him with her elbow.

"Who says I can't bear to part with it? I'm just too lazy to choose!"

Mrs. Qi smiled brightly: "You two brothers and sisters have such a good relationship. When it comes to spices, I actually have nothing to recommend. I am not an expert in this field, but our family uses 'poppy poppies'."

The brother and sister looked at each other after hearing this.

Mrs. Qi did not notice anything strange and continued to say: "This incense has become very famous recently. Many people in Beijing are using it. It is a bit expensive, but it smells very good."

"Look, I'm just here to place a new order." After she finished speaking, the shopkeeper over there had already come over.

Mrs. Qi saw that she was a major customer and a regular customer, so the shopkeeper entertained her even more warmly.

"Then I'll excuse you now." Mrs. Qi smiled and nodded, not forgetting to tell Shen Ningning: "Weier has been in a bad mood recently. I heard that there was a misunderstanding in the Su Mansion. She always listens to the princess. If the princess If you have time, why not go and persuade her?"

Before Shen Ningning could answer, Xie Mingan said: "My little sister was still talking about this matter just now. She has exactly what she wants. It's better to choose a different day than to hit it. Let's go in a while."

Shen Ningning's eyes widened and she looked at Xie Ming'an angrily. How can you, the stinky second brother, make decisions for others?

Mrs. Qi was startled, then smiled and said: "Of course it's no problem. Just wait for me for a moment. I'll fill in the order and I'll be back."

Seeing her walking away, Shen Ningning grabbed her second brother's arm.

"Brother Stinky, why did you agree without even thinking about it?"

"This Qi family feels very strange to me. Qi Xiuwei seems to be the most likely person to instigate Caiyun to inform. Now various clues are related to her, so I think it is appropriate to go to the Qi family to find out the truth."

Shen Ningning sighed helplessly: "Okay."

She just didn't expect how to face Xiaowei.

After all, she promised that she would investigate the matter thoroughly and give Qi Xiuwei justice.

But I don’t have a clue yet.

I went to Qi Mansion.

Mrs. Qi happily ordered the maid.

"Go and tell Weier that the princess has come to visit her, and ask her to freshen up and come to the main hall to meet the guests."

However, the housekeeper came in a hurry.

He looked a little anxious: "Madam, you are finally back. Unfortunately, the old lady just died! The doctors are here, saying that the old lady is anxious and worried, so... you go and have a look!"

Mrs. Qi's face turned pale, and the brocade box she was holding fell to the ground with a bang.

She ignored the brother and sister Xie Ming'an and Shen Ningning who were still standing in the hall, and hurriedly followed the housekeeper.

Shen Ningning frowned: "Second Brother, I just said that we came at the wrong time."

Xie Mingan smiled: "That's not necessarily the case."

His eyes were dark, with an inexplicable gloominess.

"Come on, let's go take a look, maybe we can be of some help."

Shen Ningning was about to say that this was not a good idea, but Xie Ming'an grabbed her wrist forcefully and followed the direction of the housekeeper.

When I arrived outside the old lady's yard, I saw it was filled with sobbing servants.

The cries of Mrs. Qi and Qi Xiuwei kept coming from the inner room.

"Mother..." "Grandma..."

When the doctor came out, Mrs. Qi wiped her tears and was supported by the maid and followed beside her.

The doctor shook his head and said, "Please forgive me for speaking frankly. The old lady died strangely. It's not like... ordinary birth, old age, illness and death, with bleeding from the ear holes, but more like death from poisonous hair."

"What?!" Mrs. Qi was frightened: "Poison...Poison hair? How is that possible? We have always taken care of her very carefully. Even if the old lady has been in poor health and fell asleep, we have always taken care of her. There can be no such problem."

The doctor pursed his lips and said: "If you nobles are willing, you can go find Wu Zuo to investigate, and maybe you can find out the truth."

The implication is that the corpse will be dissected.

Mrs. Qi has no opinion, and she could only cry even more sadly when she heard this.

"The old lady is really miserable..."

At this moment, Mr. Qi learned the news and rushed back from the government office.

He shouted all the way: "Mother! Mother!"

When passing by Shen Ningning, Mr. Qi almost stumbled and fell due to grief, but fortunately the housekeeper supported him.

He ran into the house crying.

Xie Mingan looked at his back and frowned in confusion.

Shen Ningning felt that she came at the wrong time.

She tugged on Xie Ming'an's sleeve and whispered: "Brother Stinky, let's go back first. After Xiaowei and the others resolve the matter, we can come to Qi Mansion again."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Xie Mingan grabbed her hand and raised it.

He shouted: "Mrs. Qi, I have done fraud before, and my sister asked me to help you conduct a thorough investigation."

Shen Ningning's eyes widened: "Second brother, you——!"
