Chapter 40
"Miss, this Wanxiang Pavilion's cosmetic powder is very good. Many ladies from noble families like to come here to buy." Mu Qingwan was dragged to a cosmetic powder shop by Ling Niang, and the fragrance overflowed her face.

"Lingniang, I don't like these things." Mu Qingwan frowned, she was naturally indifferent to this.

"Miss should dress up well, and choose a good husband in the future." Lingniang said, and asked the assistant to pick out a few boxes and show them to Mu Qingwan.

"Miss, these are the latest fragrance powders formulated by Wanxiangge. After using them, not only will the skin become delicate and fair, but the biggest feature is the long-lasting fragrance." The young man introduced enthusiastically.

When Mu Qingwan heard this, a light flashed in her mind, and something emerged. She looked at the guy and asked, "How long will the fragrance of this face powder last?"

"In this season, there will still be fragrance after ten days."

ten days.Mu Qingwan shrunk her pupils: "Is this kind of fragrance powder only available in your store? Or is there such a fragrance powder in other stores?"

"Miss, look at what you said. Only our Wanxiang Pavilion in the entire capital has such a fragrance powder with a long-lasting fragrance. The fragrance of other houses will dissipate within two days at most. Not to mention those ladies of the big family, they are the concubines and empresses in the palace. They all sent people to our Wanxiang Pavilion to buy incense powder."

"Oh, it seems that your Wanxiangge fragrance powder is quite famous."

Mu Qingwan nodded, flipped through a few spices casually, and asked with the tip of her nose. It was indeed very fragrant, and the smell was strong.

"That's natural. The young lady looks at the face. It's the first time. The young lady can leave the surname and the address of the house. If the young lady thinks it's good in the future, we can send someone from Wanxiang Pavilion to deliver the fragrance powder to the young lady. Come on." The boy said with a bright smile on his face.

"Are you still delivering the goods to your door?"

"Yes, we have all the customers who come to our Wanxiang Pavilion to buy fragrance powder and rouge. Don't worry, this young lady will not make a mistake for you."

Mu Qingwan nodded, pointing to the two exquisite boxes: "Wrap these two types of powder for me."

"Okay, just wait a moment." The little boy hurriedly wrapped up the incense powder Mu Qingwan had chosen, and after Lingniang paid the money, the two of them came out of the Wanxiang Pavilion.

"Miss, why don't you choose more? 300 taels is enough for us to spend a long time, so you don't have to be too harsh on yourself." Lingniang couldn't help but say.

Mu Qingwan shook her head slightly: "I don't want to rub this spice on myself, but it has other uses."

As she spoke, her pupils shrank slightly. The scent on the corpse, and the scent on the man in black were almost the same as the scents of the two fragrance powders in the Wanxiang Pavilion. The scent on the man in black She couldn't be sure, but the fragrance on the corpse was most likely the fragrance powder from Wanxiang Pavilion.

That day in the cemetery, when she was looking at the corpse, she could smell it. Moreover, when Chu Zhiyan and Chu Zhiyan went to the autopsy that day, even though the rancid smell was pungent, the faint fragrance did not dissipate. According to the Wanxiang Pavilion buddy, the fragrance lasts for ten days, this is a very important clue.

It's just that she has no way to investigate now, and has to find that Chu Zhiyan.

Thinking of this, Mu Qingwan's face darkened.

"Miss, be careful." Lingniang's screaming voice suddenly came from next to her ear, Mu Qingwan raised her head, and before it was too late, she bumped into the person who came in front of her.

The force was so great that Mu Qingwan staggered back a few steps. If Lingniang hadn't supported her, she would have fallen to the ground.

"How do you walk, you don't have eyes?"

The high-spirited girl was sharp and piercing. When Mu Qingwan raised her head, she saw a woman in Tsing Yi holding a whip and staring at her arrogantly. At her feet, there was a servant-like servant who fell to the ground. Just now, it was this person who hit her. to myself.

"Obviously it was your man who accidentally bumped into our young lady while walking, you are right, the villain will file a complaint first!" Lingniang was a little unhappy at that moment.

"You!" The woman in Tsing Yi was embarrassed by Ling Niang, and waved her hand to slap the boy on the ground fiercely, yelling and cursing viciously: "You useless thing, you bastard, you don't have eyes, don't you?" Do you know how to watch the road?" While cursing, he continued to whip with the whip.

The man on the ground screamed in pain, covered his face with his arms, and rolled his body to avoid it, but bloodstains were still drawn out.

What she said was obviously intended to point at Sang and scold Huai.

With a cold face, Lingniang gave the woman in Tsing Yi a hard look, then turned to Mu Qingwan and said, "Miss, it's getting late, let's go back."

But Mu Qingwan didn't reply to her words, but frowned and looked at the boy who was rolling back and forth on the ground.

It should be said that her gaze was firmly fixed on the boy's bare arm.

There are bruised and mottled welts, but several parallel and scabbed scratches can still be seen.

Mu Qingwan shrunk her pupils. Judging from the wound, it would not exceed ten days. This time period coincided with the death time of the corpse.

"Miss, what's wrong with you, miss?" Lingniang was a little puzzled as Mu Qingwan stared at the boy so intently.

Mu Qingwan came back to her senses, there was nothing unusual on her face, she said flatly: "It's not that he bumped into you, it's not justifiable for you to hit him like this!"

The woman in Tsing Yi paused the hand that swung the whip, and then dropped it even harder. The servant on the ground howled in pain, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"I take care of my servants, what does it have to do with you?" The woman in Tsing Yi said very bluntly.

Mu Qingwan snorted, "Lingniang, it's getting late, let's go back."

"Yes, Miss." Lingniang quickly replied, she wished that, for this kind of nonsense, it would be better for Miss to stay as far away as possible.

The two turned around and were about to leave. The woman in Tsing Yi who was ignored behind her face became even uglier: "Who allowed you to leave? You stop for me!"

In the mansion, who is not polite to her, today someone dares to ignore her so much!
"Miss, this woman is too savage. I think she is dressed like a noble maid, yet she dares to yell at our young lady from the Mu family." Lingniang said dissatisfied.

Mu Qingwan was thinking about other things in her heart, and didn't care what the woman in Tsing Yi said, she walked towards the carriage with Ling Niang without stopping.

Seeing Mu Qingwan ignoring her like this, the woman in Tsing Yi was annoyed, and swiped her whip towards Mu Qingwan.

"Blue sleeve!"

"careful!"

Two voices came, one was a woman's exclamation, and the other was a man's deep voice.

When Mu Qingwan came back to her senses, she was already protected in a broad arms.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he met Chu Zhiyan's eyes as deep as the sea.

Mu Qingwan was taken aback, she didn't expect to meet Chu Zhiyan here, and it was him... who helped her?
