Chapter 258 The Real Secret of Grandpa Lin
"Grandpa, what's the matter with you bringing me here?" Pei Zhiwan asked doubtfully.
Grandpa Lin nodded solemnly: "Girl, the No. 8 Courtyard can be what it is today, thanks to you for bringing us good luck."
He waved at her and walked to the greenhouse in the backyard.
Looking at the ordinary greenhouse, there were many precious flowers and plants raised in it.
Unexpectedly, Grandpa Lin pressed the switch, and a small circle next to the faucet turned into a cellar entrance.
Pei Zhiwan looked at the cellar entrance carefully, and it looked like a decoration no matter how she looked at it.
Grandpa Lin waved at her, and then went down to the cellar.
Pei Zhiwan followed and found that the cellar was completely different from the one where she and Di Chen were imprisoned before, and the decoration inside was good.
It was more like a luxurious laboratory, with some instruments, bottles and jars inside.
"There are two laboratories in total, one is the incense making laboratory, and the other is the poison making laboratory."
Grandpa Lin took the initiative to introduce her to the experimental equipment.
"Grandpa, did you make all these yourself?"
Pei Zhiwan was involved in incense making and poison making in her previous life, and she was quite proficient in it.
She saw that the instruments were different from those on the market, and asked curiously.
Old Master Lin nodded and said, "I have researched all these over the years. Although I am not connected to the outside world, I have also developed a set of instruments for making perfumes and poisons that are completely different from the conventional methods. Even ordinary fruits can be extracted to produce delicious fruit perfumes."
He sighed softly, "In fact, all the perfumes and poisons I sent to the Ye family in recent years were failures."
Pei Zhiwan looked at him in surprise and asked in confusion. "Don't you really want to win against Master Ye? Because if you win, it will put psychological pressure on him, and it will inevitably cause a rift between you and Madam Ye?"
Master Lin neither denied nor admitted it, but continued, "All my research results are in these two books, and now I will give them to you."
As he spoke, he took out two thick handwritten books from the laboratory safe.
There were dense small regular script characters in them, written very neatly.
Pei Zhiwan didn't expect Master Lin to write so beautifully, which showed that he was not crazy, otherwise he would not be able to write such words calmly.
People who can write such words must be detached from the world and have a calm mind.
She immediately fell into new doubts and asked puzzledly: "You and Madam Ye have no obsession with each other for a long time, so why do you torture yourself so much, stay in Courtyard No. 8, and send perfumes and other finished products to the Ye family every year?"
Old Master Lin sighed deeply and told her another story.
This is a secret that belongs to Old Master Lin alone, and Pei Zhiwan is the only person he shares it with.
It turned out that when Old Master Lin was out traveling, he took the wrong box with someone on the train.
His box was just some clothes and entanglements.
And the box he took from someone else turned out to be some books on making incense and poison.
Among these books, there are two secret books about making incense and poison.
After returning home, Old Master Lin was very angry.
After all, there were a lot of entanglements in his box.
And this box did contain some worthless books.
Unexpectedly, when he accidentally flipped through the two secret books, he was attracted.
Those incense-making instruments and methods of making poisons made him want to get involved immediately.
But Master Lin also realized that
these books and secret books would definitely be found by their original owners. So
he dug a hole in the backyard and hid these things.
In this way, even if someone came, as long as he didn't admit it, others would not find them.
Not long after, Master Di brought a group of friends from the imperial capital to Tongnan to play.
He accidentally heard Master Ye say that his grandfather lost a very important box on the train. There were books in it, but he bought it from a hermit at a high price. As a result, he took the wrong box on the train and has not found it yet.
Old Master Lin never expected that the person who took the wrong box with him turned out to be Young Master Ye's grandfather.
Naturally, he did not dare to reveal any clues, for fear that the Ye family would find out and come to the door.
What was even more unexpected to him was that his cousin and Young Master Ye fell in love secretly.
Old Master Lin took the opportunity to make a big fuss and had a big fight with his cousin.
His cousin married far away in the capital and never returned to Tongnan.
Old Master Lin was worried that the two secret books would bring disaster to his family.
He also cruelly drove his mother and his wife, with whom he had a one-night stand, out of Courtyard No. 8 and cut off contact with them. He concentrated on studying the secret book of making incense and the density of making poisons, and wrote two new secret books based on the secret book.
Later, Old Master Lin also sent people to secretly inquire.
The two secret books were obtained by Master Ye by dishonorable means.
He killed the whole family of the owner of the secret books. When Master Lin learned about this, he felt relieved.
It was not that he deliberately intercepted them, but God had eyes and did not let the Ye family get the two secret books.
Master Ye spent his entire life looking for the two secret books, but naturally it was fruitless.
After he died, Master Ye continued to search for the secret books.
The perfumes that Master Lin sent to the Lin family every year were all failed counterfeits, just to fool Master Ye.
Therefore, he never thought until his death that the two secret books were actually in Master Lin's hands.
Master Lin was isolated from the world because his family was not around. His secret studio was unknown to anyone except the old housekeeper, so it was very safe, which gave him time to perfect and organize the two secret books.
If he had not driven away his wife, children and mother, he would not have been able to complete such a huge project.
After hearing this, Pei Zhiwan couldn't help sighing.
The price was really too high.
"Master Lin, why did you do this?" She asked in confusion.
Grandpa Lin sighed: "I found a request for help written in hidden characters by the original owner of the secret book. I hope that the person who gets the secret book is a destined person who can perfect and organize the secret book, and don't let it fall into the hands of bad people, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
"The ancestors of the Ye family killed many people for these two secret books. I can only take extreme measures to protect myself, the secret books, my family, and my cousin. As long as I can't be found, everyone is safe. I am a madman, and no one doubts it."
Pei Zhiwan nodded. The price was too high.
"Have you decided to hide it from your family?"
Grandpa Lin nodded and replied: "Yes, only you can keep these two secret books, and I can see that you know these."
If you tell your children and grandchildren, the forces will bring them murder.
The secret book is still a treasure that people secretly seek.
Including the head of the Ye family, who is still spreading his connections to look for it.
The Ye family has a perfume factory and needs this perfume secret book.
Pei Zhiwan only felt that the two secret books were heavy in his hands.
"Grandpa Lin, I..."
