Chapter 227: Suoyin Flower Tears

Shen Xiaoxiao was startled by the voice behind her. She took a deep breath, turned around, and saw a servant in a dark blue coat standing there.

He was called a servant because he was holding a tray with a sapphire-blue ceramic bottle on it. The bottle was very ancient. However, the tray was placed on a palm-sized plate, which made Shen Xiaoxiao feel a little strange.

Moreover, in a family like the Ouyang family, feudal nobility and lowly status were extremely important. How could young ladies and young masters carry their own things and even hold a tray? Therefore, this person was a servant.

“Who are you? Why are you here?”

The servant’s voice was very sharp, and it was very uncomfortable to hear. Shen Xiaoxiao did not know why she felt that this man looked extremely strange. This was because he was at least 40 years old, but he had a white face and no beard. His skin was even more delicate than hers, and she had looked carefully. He had an Adam’s apple, so why did he still talk like a sissy?

“My male companion accidentally let Miss An Ning dirty his clothes. Miss An Ning said that her fourth brother’s clothes could be used, so she brought me here. I was waiting at the door, but I wanted to go to the bathroom, so…”

“This is the Ouyang family’s inner courtyard. Outsiders are not allowed to trespass. Do you think this is your backyard? Wait here, I’ll get someone to take you out. There are bathrooms in the banquet hall. Not only do you have them, I guarantee that you have never used such a high-quality bathroom in your entire life. Our Ouyang family is not like those ordinary peasant families. We barge in at will and have no rules.”

“As for what you just said, I will also confront the Fourth Miss. I hope you didn’t lie. Otherwise, if you want to sneak in, no matter which family you’re the daughter of, you’ll have no face.”

His words were unusually cold and unceremonious. He was just a servant of the Ouyang family, yet he dared to speak to others without fear of offending others. Moreover, he kept saying that she had no rules, and now she had to be taken away. Not only that… The words he said were more and more unpleasant.

Now, he still had to ask someone to confront Ouyang Ning with her? Hmph, she’s afraid he wouldn’t have the chance.

Shen Xiaoxiao admitted that she was indeed impulsive at times, but when she saw such a person, she really couldn’t keep silent. If he really confronted her, wouldn’t all the lies be exposed?

As for this servant, he was unlucky to be standing in this place. It was as if the heavens were helping her.

Shen Xiaoxiao took advantage of the fact that this person was holding the tray with both hands and was not able to move properly. She suddenly took a big step forward and punched the servant’s temple.

The servant immediately fell to the ground and the small bottle in the tray fell to the side.

The white liquid that flowed out of his nose made Shen Xiaoxiao feel a little nauseous. It seemed that she did not have a sense of severity when she attacked. What should she do? She would kill the person.

Shen Xiaoxiao looked around. When she saw the small pond beside her, her heart dropped. This was great. She had an idea.

It was not difficult to move a servant who was about her size. When there was a splash, Shen Xiaoxiao clapped her hands. It was done. Even if someone found out that this person was missing… It would take at least two days for the corpse to float up. After two days, who would know that she was the one who did it?

Shen Xiaoxiao clapped her hands. She wanted to wash her hands in the pool, but when she thought of the corpse, she gave up the idea. Instead, she turned around and stared at the sapphire blue bottle on the ground in a daze.

This bottle was very pretty. Shen Xiaoxiao reached out her hand and was ready to pick up the bottle to see what was inside.

Just as her hand was about to touch the bottle, there was a ‘pa’ sound from her arm. She was shocked. Who, who hit her?

“You’re brave enough to touch anything. Who told you to come here?”

It was Yan Kuan? It was actually Yan Kuan. How did he come here? The Ouyang family was so big. She had expected him to come to the main courtyard.

“Why are you here?” Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Yan Kuan and asked in surprise and joy.

“If I’m not here, where am I? I followed this eunuch here. I just didn’t expect you to be so straightforward. Not only did you kill him, but you also cleaned him up.”

“Ah? Eunuch? And what did you say? You followed this person here?”

“Yes, eunuch. I’ve told you that the Ouyang family has many disgusting things. This eunuch, and he’s really a eunuch, is a servant of an aristocratic family. They have existed in the Ouyang family for thousands of years. Now that they have such thoughts, aren’t these eunuchs the most special existences?”

“Ah? This, don’t they know how to resist?”

“Resist? In the Ouyang family? Sigh, you’re really naïve. You haven’t even drunk yet, and you’re already talking nonsense. Alright, stand aside. Don’t block me.”

After Yan Kuan finished speaking, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and very carefully pinched the sapphire blue bottle. This action made Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart tighten. Could it be that this thing was poisonous?

“Is this poisonous?”

Shen Xiaoxiao asked Yan Kuan. Yan Kuan did not even look at her. He carefully took out a plastic bag from his pocket and put the thing into the plastic bag. Then, he let out a sigh of relief and said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “You are getting bolder and bolder. You dare to touch anything. Do you know what this is? Just now, your little hands were almost gone.”

“Ah? So powerful? What is this?”

“What? This is the Suoyin Flower Tears, the most potent poison in the world. The poisoned person will slowly go limp, collapse, and then go back to bed. In the end, they will be like a living dead, neither alive nor dead. Moreover, no instrument can find the cause of the illness. They will only die when they reach the end of their lifespan.”

“Ah? So abnormal? Is it the same as the poison your mother was poisoned with? You wanted the Black Ganoderma to cure this poison before?”

Yan Kuan nodded, got up, and pulled her along. He took a glance at the calm surface of the water and whispered, “The person just now was Ouyang Tian’s medical butler, who specially managed these medicines for him. He was ordered by Ouyang Tian to retrieve the Suoyin Flower Tears, but I don’t know who they are going to poison tonight.”

“They are going to poison someone else?”

“Yes. The Suoyin Flower Tears must be drunk with strong alcohol. So, no matter who brings you alcohol tonight, you must remember not to drink it. Although we don’t know who this poison is going to be used on, we must be careful. We must not be careless. Now that this bottle of medicine has been snatched by us halfway, we can’t guarantee that there won’t be a second and third bottle. So, we must be careful tonight.”

“Yes, I know. Do you want to go back to the banquet hall with me now?”

“No, I still have one place to go. You go over first. As for Ouyang Feng and An Ning, don’t worry about them for now. Someone will take care of them.”

“Yes, I understand. I’ll go out immediately. I won’t cause you any trouble.”

“Yes, good girl!”
