"Can't you go to Jianjia Garden with me?" Xiao Xier was puzzled. Could it be that her third brother wanted to tell her parents something in secret?
"I need to talk to my parents about the scientific expedition. You go first, and I'll come over when I'm done."
Xiao Xier looked at Su Ningwen suspiciously, and asked Sijin to pick up the other rabbit and leave the front hall.
After Xiao Xier left, Su Ningwen sent away all the servants serving in the front hall and closed the door.
The couple looked at Su Ningwen's cautious look and felt a little surprised. Could it be that this child was going to tell them something earth-shattering?
"Brother Wen, we are a family of three now. Do you have anything important to tell us?"
"Daddy, Mommy, I discovered a big secret about my sister!"
Xiao Lingyu said, "Didn't you discover it a long time ago?"
"Yes, except our family, no one knows the secret of Xiao Xier." Su Xingyi said.
Su Ningwen scratched his head, wondering how he could explain it so his parents would understand. After a moment's thought, he said, "A female emperor appeared in Nankun a hundred years ago. She seemed to understand the language of beasts, just like my sister. More precisely, she could control all beasts to serve her! My sister should be the next female emperor of Nankun. Someone is persecuting her because they don't want her to become the empress!"
The couple was very surprised. Wen Ge'er had read so many books and his guesses were so accurate.
"How did you realize that Xiao Xier might be the Empress of Nankun?" Xiao Lingyu asked.
"It was the rabbit. After it hit a tree and fainted, I didn't think much of it. But Uncle Zihe said there were too many rabbits and the rest needed to be released. So my sister said, 'Listen to Uncle Zihe and release the rest back into the forest.' As soon as she finished speaking, the fainted rabbit instantly woke up and quickly fled, disappearing without a trace..."
"So that's why you think these rabbits were summoned by Xiao Xi'er?"
"Yes, mother. In the past, when my eldest brother carried little Xi'er up the mountain in the village, he would occasionally pick up rabbits. That's when I realized my sister could control all kinds of beasts. It wasn't because of the Xi Hanxiang on her body. Also, Huanghuang looks like a phoenix. I think my guess is right. The person who persecuted my sister wanted to be the empress, so she killed her sister who was born to be the empress!"
Xiao Lingyu touched Su Ningwen's little head lovingly. She really liked Brother Wen. How come he was so smart?
"Your guess is correct! Someone is really persecuting her because they don't want her to become the empress!"
"You already knew this?"
Su Xingyi nodded, "Yes, this is what your mother guessed."
"Do you know who the murderer behind this is?"
Xiao Lingyu said, "Mother has guessed who the murderer is, but we don't have direct evidence, so we can't easily reveal who it is for the time being. After Xiaowu is born, we will escort Xiaoxi'er to Nankun together and help her find the murderer behind the scenes! Don't tell Xiaoxi'er about this for now. If she finds out, she might go back to Nankun alone to seek revenge on the murderer. We are not around, and she might suffer losses and be plotted against by the bad guys and lose her life."
"Yeah, I know. I won't tell my sister. She should live happily. So, shall I go to Jianjia Garden?"
"Go ahead."
Outside the house, a yellow oriole left the front hall before Su Ningwen did. It flew towards Jianjia Garden and landed directly on Xiao Xier's shoulder.
After chirping a lot in Xiao Xier's ear, it flew away.
Song Shuyi looked at the oriole flying onto the branch and said casually, "Sister Xi, even the oriole likes the scent of Xi Hanxiang on you."
"Sijin, bring the bottle of Xihanxiang in my room to Sister Song."
"Sister Xi, you can't do that. That's the perfume your mother prepared just for you."
"Sister Song, this is a gift for you. Just take it. Mother will mix it for me. The whole Jianjia Garden will smell like Xihanxiang."
Sijin quickly brought Xihanxiang over, and little Xier applied it to Song Shuyi herself, "Sister Song, smell it, you also smell like Xihanxiang."
Song Shuyi sniffed it carefully and felt that the smell was lighter than that on Xiao Xier.
"My mother said that the effect of applying it on each person's body is slightly different because each of us has different skin types..."
Xiao Xier explained to Song Shuyi using Xiao Lingyu's words.
Xiao Xier only now realized that her mother had known her secret for a long time, which was why she made perfumes of different flavors to cover it up.
But why didn't she have any fragrance before she met her mother? And why couldn't she summon the beasts?
Instead, only when Xi Hanxiang appears on your body can you understand the animal language and freely control the release of the fragrance!
This fragrance must be innate. What happened on the day she was born?
How did the person behind the scenes know that she was born to be an empress?
Does she have the ability to predict the future?
Otherwise, why would they harm her just after she was born? It seems true that she was lying in the coffin!
The person who took her out of the coffin and threw her to Beiyi must not be the one who harmed her!
What if the villain who harmed her, seeing that she was not dead, had to stab her to death?
We can't wait until we return to Nankun to investigate the murderer. That would be too passive. After so long, the murderer must have been fully prepared and it won't be so easy to find him!
She wanted to catch the murderer behind the scenes off guard, so she flew back to Nankun tonight to conduct a secret investigation.
Daddy has so many daughters, she goes to greet each of them one by one!
"younger sister."
Su Ningwen's voice brought Xiao Xier back from her wandering thoughts.
"Third brother, what took you so long to come?"
Su Ningwen calmly sat down and played with the rabbits with them. "I was just trying out the paper towels in the front room, so I stayed a little longer."
Humph! Third brother can also lie with open eyes.
But it doesn't matter, she knows everything!
"Pull out the paper?"
"You might not have noticed just now, but there's a box with holes on the table. Take out the paper and use it to wipe your mouth and hands!"
Xiao Xier raised an eyebrow, "Then can it also be used for... um..."
"It should be possible!" Su Ningwen quickly covered Xiao Xier's mouth with his hand, "Don't say it, Sister Song is still here."
"What is it that I can't listen to?" Song Shuyi looked at the brother and sister with a puzzled look on his face. "Using paper to wipe your hands and mouth, are you serious?"
The brother and sister smiled and said, "It couldn't be more true! You'll know if you try it!"
Not long after, Xiao Lingyu sent someone to deliver a box of Yu cigarettes to Jianjiayuan!
"Sister Song, you can try."
Song Shuyi followed the example of the brother and sister, reached out to touch the paper that came out of the box hole, and pulled it gently. A thin piece of paper was pulled out, and it felt softer than the paper usually used for writing!
Xiao Xier pulled Song Shuyi's hand over, wet it with tea, and gently wiped her wet fingers with a tissue. "Sister Song, take a look. Is it clean with the tissue?"
Song Shuyi was momentarily surprised. This was only in the Princess's Mansion where people could afford to wipe their hands with paper. "It's indeed very clean, but what do you do with the wet paper? Do you dry it like a handkerchief?"
"Used paper becomes waste paper, just throw it into the trash can." Xiao Xier said as she threw the paper into the basket under the table. "Once the waste basket is full, you can use it to burn in the kitchen or burn it in the tea stove. There's no waste at all!"
When the Meng family received the tissue paper from the Princess's Mansion, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were happily preparing the betrothal gifts...
