Yuan Yao shook her head and thought that Lin Yin’s taste was quite strange. She needed something tasteless.
Soon, Yuan Yao brought over a few small bottles containing liquid and said,
“These are all here. They’ve been here for a long time and are all dusty. Take a look and see which one you like. If the formula is still there, I’ll make another bottle for you.”
Lin Yin took the box from Yuan Yao and carefully opened it one by one. When she opened the third box, Lin Yin’s lowered eyelashes quivered.
This was a familiar smell.
Lin Yin continued to pick up the bottles beside her and went through them all. In the end, only the bottle just now had the feeling that she had come into contact with it before.
Lin Yin picked out a few bottles from the box and said, “There’s no need to make them again. There are only these few bottles. Can you give them to me?”
With a generous expression, Yuan Yao said, “Of course you can. These are failed products to begin with. It’s just that I don’t have the habit of throwing samples, so I kept them. If you like them, you can take them back.”
Lin Yin smiled and thanked her. Then, she found a sofa and continued to ask,
“Aunt Yuan, do you usually only make one bottle when you make samples?”
Yuan Yao shook her head and said, “That’s definitely not the case. It’s always a minimum of 5 bottles. The main thing is that sometimes, if you encounter some better incense and there’s only one bottle, it won’t be enough to give it to others to try.”
“Aunt Yuan, who did you give each sample to for testing first? There are so many people at home. One bottle is indeed not enough.” Lin Yin chatted with Yuan Yao as if they were talking about family.
“That’s not necessarily true. Sometimes it’s for my mother-in-law, and sometimes it’s for Wei Yang’s mother. Sometimes I give it to the younger generation too. I give it to anyone other than the third branch” Yuan Yao said.
“Then I don’t think you’ll give such failed products to others to smell, right? Then will you give them to the servants?” Lin Yin pointed at the bottles in her hand and asked.
Yuan Yao immediately shook her head. “I usually don’t give away failed products. My things are all used by nobles. I don’t give away to servants. Even if they’re failed products, I won’t give it to them to use. However, this isn’t considered a failed product in the beginning. I always make the samples first and give them to others after I have gotten feedback and if many people don’t like it, I’ll give up.”
“Is that so?” Lin Yin smiled and said calmly.
From the looks of it, the person who used the bewitching incense on her most likely was not from the third branch.
Lin Yin couldn’t help but smile. The Wei Family was really complicated. The person who pushed her was from the third branch, but the person who planted the incense had little to do with the third branch.
This matter was getting more and more blurry and interesting.
Yuan Yao was still talking about her fragrance. Lin Yin only smiled cooperatively and occasionally chimed in.
But soon, Yuan Yao’s speed of speaking slowed down. She held her head and said, “What’s going on? Why do I suddenly feel a little weak, like I want to sleep?”
Not to mention Yuan Yao, Lin Yin felt the same way herself, but it was precisely because of this feeling that Lin Yin confirmed that she had indeed found the right thing. Lin Yin calculated the time in her heart. It took about twenty minutes for the drug to take effect.
Lin Yin tried her best to open her eyes wide to see Yuan Yao’s expression clearly. She wanted to determine if Yuan Yao was the person who attacked her through some of her body expressions.
However, before she could see clearly, Yuan Yao fainted.
Lin Yin was also groggy. She first sent a message to Wei Yang, saying that she would go back and take an afternoon nap. Then, she put away the bottle in her hand and used all her strength to walk out the door to call Long Huang and Dongyi. She asked the two of them to send her back as soon as possible and told everyone that she had taken an afternoon nap.
Just as Wei Yang was about to bring coffee to Lin Yin, he received a message from Lin Yin. He frowned slightly. She fell asleep in the time it took to make coffee. It was quite fast.
Wei Yang sighed and drank his coffee.
Lin Yin slept for three hours before waking up. This time was exactly the same as when she fell into the water and fainted.
Lin Yin was now certain that the bottle of liquid in her hand had caused her to faint. However, she wasn’t sure who had this bottle of liquid in their hands. From Yuan Yao’s expression, it seemed like she really didn’t know that this thing could cause her to faint.
Lin Yin watched the surveillance video in the bee again. According to the time when the drug took effect after about 20 minutes, the time when she was sprinkled with incense was probably at the pavilion.
But there were so many people, why was she the one that fell for it?
When she opened the bottle at noon, it was obvious that Yuan Yao had also been affected, right?
