Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 71
Jiang Wan Ning blinked and smiled slightly: "I made this incense myself. Is there any problem?"

It was her negligence. She had prepared this incense for him. It smelled no different from ordinary soothing incense. Only people with a particularly keen sense of smell could smell the subtle differences in the afternotes. It was this subtle difference that made this incense soothing. The effect is far better than ordinary soothing incense.

Gu Zhouting didn't like to use incense and had no research on incense. She thought he couldn't smell it. Seeing that he was really tired and couldn't sleep well, frowning all the time, she lit this incense for him.

Unexpectedly, he would come back to her because of the fragrance.

It can be seen that he smelled it.

But she won't admit it and just pretend to be stupid.

"Did you make it yourself?" Gu Zhouting didn't believe it.

How could Nan Zhi's unique secret recipe be easily prepared by others.

He doesn't use incense because his sense of smell is as sensitive as ordinary people, and most incense will only give him a headache.

Only the incense specially prepared for him by Nanzhi can make him feel at ease.

"Yes, this fragrance is not difficult to prepare. I often have trouble sleeping due to illness, so I put a lot of effort into blending this fragrance."

Gu Zhouting stared at her rightly. Her smile was gentle and her eyes were clear, not like she was lying.

For a time, the enthusiasm that came with Xingxing gradually cooled down.

He smiled wryly at himself, Gu Zhouting, what are you thinking about?

The person in front of me does have many similarities to Nan Zhi. Her eyebrows, her expression, her little movements, and she can also mix the fragrance that Nan Zhi can...

But you have seen Nan Zhi's body with your own eyes. She is dead, pink and withered, and will never come back.

How could you think that she would come back as another person?
In the past three years, not even her soul had fallen asleep.

Perhaps Nan Zhi was coaxing him, she liked to pretend to be mysterious.

After making something delicious, she said this is my unique secret recipe!
After making good wine, she said this is my unique secret recipe!

Even with fragrance...

His expression gradually darkened, as if his energy had been drained away in an instant.

Jiang Wan Ning couldn't bear it. He must have thought of Nan Zhi.

But she couldn't tell him, Gu Zhouting, I am Nan Zhi, I am back...

"Master Gu, are you here...just to ask this?"

Gu Zhouting's voice was hoarse: "Just asking casually, do you still have this fragrance?"

"Yes, if your lord needs it, I still have some money for incense, so I can give it to you first."

"Thank you very much then."

Jiang Wan Ning asked Yu Niang to get the soothing incense for him.

"Sir, do you want to leave after eating?"

Gu Zhouting shook his head: "I still have official duties to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

After taking two steps, Gu Zhouting looked back at her: "Is your illness caused by poison?"

"Well, it was discovered too late and the poison has penetrated the five internal organs. Fortunately, Dr. Lin has great medical skills and will get better slowly."

"When you arrive in the capital, come to Dali Temple and see me. I'll ask the imperial doctor to take a look at you."

"Don't refuse and don't thank me. I'm afraid I'll have to ask Lady Jiang for this fragrance often."

Jiang Wan Ning:...

"it is good."

Gu Zhou stopped and left, frustrated and frustrated.

"It's so strange that Mr. Gu came all the way back and asked where this fragrance came from, as if he was very familiar with it." Yu Niang murmured to herself.

"This is the ordinary Ningshen incense. I guess Mr. Gu rarely uses incense on weekdays. I used some on him today and it was quite effective. That's why he came to ask."

Yu Niang nodded: "Maybe!"

But I feel something is wrong.

Three days later, Jiang Wan Ning and others finally arrived in the capital.

Looking at the majestic and towering city gate, Jiang Wanning had mixed feelings.

The capital, her home, she finally returned after three years. "Shopkeeper Yang." A man in shorts came forward in surprise when he saw the convoy.

"Zhou Li, why are you here?"

Zhou Lidao said: "Mr. Wen calculated the date. You should have arrived seven days ago at the latest. But I waited and waited and couldn't wait for you. I was afraid that something might happen to you on the way. I asked you to wait here every day. If you can't wait today, Come, I will go south to look for you tomorrow."

Yang Xu smiled and said: "Fortunately, I caught up. You go to see my wife first."

Zhou Li came to the carriage and bowed: "Madam, how have you been traveling?"

Jiang Wan Ning nodded: "Is everyone okay?"

What we saw along the way was not peaceful. In order to pay the huge annual tribute to Dayuan every year, the imperial court repeatedly raised taxes, and local officials even used clever excuses to increase exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. The life of the common people was too difficult. The further north you went, the more and more bandits became more and more common. It was more peaceful until we got closer to the capital.

So she was quite worried about Mr. Wen and Zhou Li.

"Everything is fine, Mr. Wen has arranged the house, and Hemerocallis and Qingxing have decorated my wife's room."

"Then lead the way!"

The house Mr. Wen was looking for was in the east of the city, just passing by the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

Jiang Wanning couldn't help but lift the car curtain and look at her former home.

But when I saw that the gate was deserted, the vermilion paint on the gate was no longer bright, and even a little mottled. It looked like it was in decline. Only the two stone lions in front of the gate were still majestic and majestic.

Jiang Wan Ning looked forward to seeing a familiar figure come out of it.

But no, the door was closed.

I don’t know what Zhaoyang is doing now.

Three years ago, Zhaoyang was only 14 years old. He lost all his relatives overnight, and he was the only one left in Shangguan's family.

Zhaoyang, like her, has been weak since childhood.

But Taoist Priest Wu Gu said that she was a prodigy in martial arts and took her away.

And Zhaoyang is really weak, deficient in her mother's womb.

Thanks to Zhaoyang's poor health, his father did not let him practice martial arts, but asked him to study hard.

Otherwise, maybe Zhaoyang also went to Gubei, and then there would really be no one left in the Shangguan family.

Forget it, she has arrived in the capital, and there will always be a chance to see Zhaoyang.

Just when Jiang Wanning lowered the car curtain, a sharp shout rang out.

"Shangguan Zhaoyang, don't run away."

Jiang Wan Ning was shocked and hurriedly opened the car curtain. She saw a young man with messy hair, torn clothes and a large bruise on his left cheek. He was running wildly with a boy who was even more embarrassed than him.

"Anhe, hurry up, you'll be home soon."

Behind the young man, several tall young men were catching up quickly.

Jiang Wanning's pupils tightened. She recognized one of them, it was Qin Sirang, Liulang of Uncle Dongping's family.

Her rival, Qin Siyue's younger brother.

This guy is a little bully. He was spoiled by Uncle Dongping. He loves to bully others and is known as a playboy.

But Qin Sirang didn't dare to bully Zhaoyang before.

Zhaoyang was protected by three brothers and his sister, and all the dandies in the capital had to take a detour when they saw Zhaoyang.

Now no one is protecting Zhaoyang, and her Zhaoyang is being bullied.

In an instant, Qin Sirang's men caught up with Zhaoyang and pushed Zhaoyang and Anhe to the ground.

Qin Silang panted and said: "Run, if you keep running, I will still catch you even if you run home. If you dare to go against me, you are impatient...beat me, beat me to death."

Fists and feet fell like raindrops on Shangguan Zhaoyang and Anhe.

The two of them could only huddle up, holding their heads with their hands to protect their vitals.

Jiang Wan Ning burst into flames with angry eyes.

Dare to hit her brother.

Can this be tolerated?
