Long Song Fenghua: The Demon Queen Confused the King's Heart

Chapter 363 The Secret of the Workshop

"This..." Yuzhi was a little embarrassed, "I can't say that, it's just... about the master's business, how can a servant speak indiscriminately."

Mu Changge's face darkened slightly, "Why, am I not your master?"

"Forget it, the young lady naturally counts, the servant is just..." Can't think of any other reason, Yuzhi can only say, "Madam is like a wife, there was indeed some disagreement in the early days. The servant has only been working in the mansion for not many years. , What happened earlier was also told by the old man in the mansion."

"Earlier, madam was like madam, it should be regarded as not to provoke each other, but that was in the past, about two or three years ago, the relationship between the two madams broke the ice somehow, closeness is not counted, but walking is more More often than ever."

Speaking of this, Yuzhi said again: "In the future, Miss will hear those gossips, just pretend that she doesn't hear them, but they are all gossip, why should Miss take it seriously."

"It's just curiosity." Mu Changge smiled slightly, and then put on a puzzled look, "I didn't believe it at first when I heard what they said. Isn't the Liu family now supported by uncle alone? Auntie can't make it through."

Yuzhi snorted, "Did the young master tell Miss yet? Although our Liu family has a great fortune, we still can't support it if we only rely on the salary of the master's entry into the court as an official."

"The vast majority of our Liu Manor's expenses come from the workshop in the backyard." Yuzhi said, "If Miss is still unclear, why not ask the young master to take Miss to the workshop to have a look, where servants are not allowed to enter easily. Yes, so the servants don't know what it looks like, they only know that the workshop is not big."

"Oh?" Mu Changge raised his eyebrows, "The Liu family has such a large expenditure, only relying on a small workshop?"

"Miss, don't believe me, what this servant said is true." Yu Zhi vowed, for fear that Mu Changge would not believe her.

After pondering for a while, Mu Changge got up, "My curiosity has aroused, and I just have nothing to do, so I just take a look."

"Miss, let the young master take you to go together, otherwise the back yard will guard, I'm afraid I won't let the young lady go easily." Yuzhi said courteously, "If the young lady really wants to go, this servant will go to the next courtyard to invite the young master."

"Isn't the third sister living in the courtyard next door?" Mu Changge asked, if she remembered correctly, Liu Yu'an's courtyard should be the closest residence to the old lady.

"Miss San is not in good health. Every time she gets sick and feels uncomfortable, the young master is worried and needs to be with her all the time."

"So that's the case. If that's the case, you can just stay here. I'll go find him myself."

After all, Mu Changge went to the courtyard not far from her by herself.

Although they are not far apart, the two courtyards look very different. I don’t know if it’s because of being smoked by medicine all day long. .

When he came in, there was a servant girl coming out with an empty medicine bowl. When she saw her, she was taken aback for a moment before reacting and welcomed her in.

As soon as he entered Liu Miaoer's room, the weird smell of medicine became even more intense. Mu Changge held his breath a little bit, and smiled gently, "I heard that the third sister is not well, so I came to take a look. I brought some Some supplements, I don’t know if the medicine that the third sister is going to take will counteract the medicinal properties.”

At this time Liu Yu'an was sitting by the bed, seeing her come in with a gentle smile on her face, she suddenly felt a bit of resistance, "Why are you here?"

"Since we are a family, can't I come to visit my sister?" Mu Changge pretended not to see the conflict in his eyes, and smiled at the girl sitting on the edge of the bed.

In front of her was the third young lady of the Liu family, Liu Miaoer, who had a face that was not stunning, but very lovable, but this face was a little too pale, and she looked extremely weak.

"I should be the one who went to visit the second sister, how can I let the second sister come..." Liu Miaoer hurriedly got up, her timid eyes showed a hint of bewilderment.

This demeanor made even Mu Changge feel sorry for her when she saw her. She didn't look like a daughter raised by the Liu family, but rather like a weak and helpless girl in distress who needed the protection of others.

"What are you talking about? I just happened to want my elder brother to take me to the backyard to see the workshop. I just stopped by. If it makes you feel bad, it would be my fault."

Hearing the word workshop, Liu Yu'an frowned, and said coldly: "It's just a workshop, what's the rush to see, if you're bored, just ask the servant girl to accompany you for a walk on the street."

The subtle changes in his demeanor failed to escape Mu Changge's eyes.

I just heard Mu Changge say in a calm manner: "Brother, if you are busy with other important matters, then I don't want to disturb you, but I am really curious about what the workshop in our Liu Mansion is. Besides, didn't the ancestors say it before?" Well, there is no place in Liufu that I can't go to, and it's okay for me to go by myself."

Mu Changge's tone was calm, and it was not hard for Liu Yu'an to hear the threat implied in the words. He exchanged a subtle look with her, and then changed the topic, "There is nothing important, just because there is nothing in the backyard, I'm afraid you will find it boring .Since you want to go, I'll take you there."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Miaoer also showed an earnest expression, "I also want to accompany Second Sister."

"No." Liu Yu'an's expression darkened.

"But……"

"It's nothing good, but the backyard is not an interesting place. What are you going to do?" Liu Yu'an said coldly, "Now that you are sick, if you go to the workshop and cough up blood, or just faint there, wouldn't it add to the trouble?"

His tone was so severe that it was almost harsh, Liu Miaoer's eyes turned red, as if she had done something wrong, she wanted to cry, but forced a smile on her face, and murmured: "Then Miaoer still won't go... ..."

"Be obedient, elder brother is only worried about your body." Hearing that she refused to go, Liu Yu'an's expression softened a lot, "When you recover, elder brother will definitely take you wherever you want to go."

After comforting Liu Miaoer a few more words, Liu Yu'an and Mu Changge left Liu Miaoer's courtyard together.

Along the way, the two of them had nothing to say. After walking not far away, Mu Changge glanced at the person beside him. His tone was normal, but Liu Yu'an's eyes changed slightly when he asked, "In the workshop of Liu's mansion, is there anything shady about it?" s things?"

"You acted like that just now, obviously because you were afraid of what Miaoer would see. This really made me very curious. What kind of shameful things would there be in a famous family like the Liu Mansion? Is it a Gu worm? Or..."

Liu Yu'an narrowed his eyes and looked at her, then chuckled lightly, "I'm afraid your thoughts are too heavy, you don't have any shameful things. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself later, you will know."

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Yu'an took Mu Changge to the backyard.

The backyard of the Liu Mansion is no different from that of an ordinary big family. The so-called workshop is just a small courtyard built separately in the spacious backyard. The guards in the backyard can be seen at a glance. Extraordinary skill.

"The things in the workshop are the foundation for the Liu family to live and work. How can we feel at ease if we don't keep guard at every level."

Seeing the doubts in Mu Changge's heart, Liu Yuan said.

After speaking, he glanced at the doorkeeper again, and the person opened the door immediately, nodding his head respectfully, but didn't even say hello.

Liu Yu'an led Mu Changge inside, and wrote lightly, "He can't make a sound. Anyone who works in the backyard has to cut off his tongue first."

Mu Changge paused, "All the people here have their tongues cut off?"

"You don't have to be so surprised, each of them is voluntary, and if you want to get a lot of money, it's nothing to exchange with a tongue." Liu Yu'an said, "There must be a brave man under a great reward, no matter what it is thing."

Mu Changge didn't say a word, but there was already a faint feeling of weirdness in his heart.If the things in this workshop are unique in the world, it is normal for people to keep their secrets in fear of leaking out the secrets.But this conservative method is so strict that it is no longer as simple as just keeping the formula secret.

When I was outside, the smell was not very strong, but when I entered the workshop, the weird smell made Mu Changge almost breathless for a while.

It smells like balm, but it doesn't look like balm. If the balm had such a greasy smell, I'm afraid not many women would be willing to pay for it.

"What is this? It smells so strong..." Mu Changge opened his mouth, and was dizzy again from the smell.

Liu Yu'an looked as if he was used to it, "This is the unique ointment and pills of the Liu family."

"What you're smelling now is something that hasn't been processed yet, so the smell is unavoidable." Liu Yu'an pointed to the white porcelain jars placed on the carved wooden frame and told her, walked to the end and took them down. An altar, signaled Mu Changge to come forward, "This altar has been completed, come and have a look."

It was said to be a jar, but it was actually only the size of an incense burner placed on the table. Mu Changge held his breath and moved forward, only to see Liu Yu'an unplug the plug, her hair stood on end, but she didn't smell the slightest smell coming towards her face. The greasy smell, on the contrary, was an inexplicable aroma, which infiltrated into her breath gradually.

What was piled inside the jar was a dark red translucent oil ointment, and the aroma was emitted from this altar oil ointment.

Mu Changge subconsciously stretched out his fingertips, wanting to pick something out, but Liu Yu'an's expression changed, and he immediately pushed the plug back, "You can't touch this thing, if you touch it randomly, if it gets on the rouge powder you used, it'll be fine if you touch it. The altar will be destroyed."

Mu Changge's lips moved, and before the words blurted out, he suppressed his voice back, and the suspicion that flashed across his eyes was hidden in the blink of an eye.
