Lianyi finished the last mouthful of soup in the bowl, put down the spoon with a smile, and then answered Wen Shige's questions without feeling embarrassed at all.
"Miss Hua has a very good nose. There is indeed a bamboo forest where I live."
Wen Shirui said with a smile.
"I'm very confident in my nose. After all, our Hua family made its fortune by growing flowers and trees. My grandfather said that we should not forget our roots. Before coming to Wenjiabao, the flower and plant business near Liuxian City was all managed by the Hua family. My dowry this time includes a purple flower that can cure all kinds of poisons."
Lian Yi looked directly at Wen Shirui and said this. This time, Wen Shige and Wen Shixuan both breathed a tightness.
Wen Shirui was the calmest. He put down his chopsticks and said with a faint smile:
"I've heard Shi Xuan mention the Purple Yun Flower. This flower is extremely difficult to grow and has very high requirements for the growing environment. I didn't know Miss Hua actually cultivated one. But I haven't heard Uncle Hua mention it."
Lian Yi pretended to be arrogant and said:
“I cultivated this privately, and I didn’t have time to tell my father. If I wasn’t going to marry into the Wen Family Castle this time, I wouldn’t be willing to give it out.
But who made me fall in love with you? Since you want to marry Master Wen and don’t want to be rejected by him, I will naturally offer a dowry that will attract him!"
“.”
There was nothing wrong with what he said, and the three young masters of the Wen family had no way to refute it.
"I know about this. The marriage of our three brothers must be decided by our parents. I will tell my father about Miss Hua's advantages."
Wen Shirui did not refuse directly. After all, Lianyi's chips really tempted him.
"That's good. I'm waiting for good news from Master Wen!"
Ripple said with a smile.
"I want to go for a walk in the yard. Would you like to accompany me, young master?"
Lianyi immediately sent an invitation.
"Okay, I'll take a walk with Miss Hua."
Wen Shirui nodded in agreement.
Hong Ling'er and Song Jia also stood up, obviously wanting to follow, but Lian Yi turned around and said to them domineeringly:
"My two ladies, I want to be alone with the eldest young master. You'd better find your favorite young master to cultivate your relationship with, and don't be an eyesore."
Hong Ling'er pursed her lips like a little white flower, then looked at Wen Shige, obviously waiting for him to speak first. Wen Shige did not disappoint Hong Ling'er and said with a smile:
"Ms. Hong, let's not disturb Brother anymore and go to the lotus pond to see the koi!"
"good!"
Hong Linger responded promptly, and followed Wen Shige to the lotus pond with light steps.
Song Jia stuck out her tongue at Lian Yi, said "shameless" and walked to Wen Shixuan's side, took out a prescription and handed it to him, then said timidly:
"Mr. Wen San, I happen to have a prescription here. I got it from someone else. It is said to be very effective. Can you help me take a look at it?"
"Well, then just follow me to the pharmacy and I'll prepare it and test the effect."
In this way, three couples went in three different directions.
Lianyi and Wen Shirui sat in the garden filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, chatting idly.
"Brother Wen, has the cause of Miss Liu's death been determined?"
"Miss Liu died of poisoning. The poison has been found, but we don't know how the murderer poisoned her."
Wen Shirui replied.
His hands were not idle either, as he was making tea. His smooth movements, coupled with his white hands with distinct joints, were even more pleasing to the eye.
Lianyi propped up her head, her eyes following the movements of the other person's hands. When a cup of clear tea was pushed in front of her, she smiled and thanked him. She took a sip immediately, savoring it for a while before saying:
"Brother Wen is an expert at making tea. The tea he brews is refreshing and delicious. I like it very much."
"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Hua."
Wen Shirui poured himself a cup of tea and said with a smile.
Lianyi finished a cup of tea with a smile, and then continued the previous topic:
"Where were we talking about? Oh! Poisoning! There are only a few ways to do it, and it will definitely end up in your mouth."
Wen Shirui glanced at Lianyi, poured her a cup of tea, and then said:
"No poison was found in Miss Liu's throat."
"Hmm? That's a poison that comes into contact with the skin."
Ripple said immediately.
"Miss Liu has no wounds on her body, and no residual poison was found on her skin."
"That's strange, maybe the poison took effect after it entered my stomach.
It should be like this, some poisons are sealed in wax pills, and the wax seal will not be broken until it reaches the stomach."
Lianyi said this with certainty, and looked at Wen Shirui as if asking for praise.
Wen Shirui shook his head, and then said:
"The coroner examined Miss Liu's body and found no wax pills or poison in her stomach."
The fact that she could think of these things proved that the young lady of the Hua family was not as reckless as she appeared to be.
"This is strange. It seems that the person who poisoned the food was very skilled. Even the Wen family couldn't find any flaws."
Ripple clicked his tongue repeatedly.
Then he said suspiciously:
"Could it be that someone doesn't want you to get married, so they murdered you? Then wouldn't it be dangerous for the three of us who entered the inner courtyard?
It's okay, don't be afraid! At least I still have a purple flower, so I shouldn't be poisoned to death for no apparent reason.
Oh! Master Wen, I think you'd better make a decision sooner rather than later. If you drag us down in the end, it will not be worth it."
Lianyi was drinking tea and talking to herself. She didn't need Wen Shirui's response at all. She was chatting happily and not at all shy.
It was probably the first time that Wen Shirui encountered a weirdo like Lian Yi, but his good upbringing prevented him from interrupting her. He could only wait for Lian Yi to finish talking to herself before he spoke:
"Don't worry, Miss Hua. We welcomed the three of you into the inner courtyard for the purpose of better protecting you. The only thing left is to complete the marriage. You don't need to worry."
"So, Sir, what you mean is that you like me too?"
Lianyi immediately said excitedly.
"Yes, father also thinks that the three of you are suitable candidates for wives. As for who to marry, it naturally depends on the wishes of the three of us brothers. After all, they are the ones who will accompany you for the rest of your life."
Wen Shirui did not respond to Lianyi directly.
"Brother Wen, I think the two of us are a good match."
Lian Yi followed closely.
"Don't worry, there is still time. You can also get in touch with my second and third brothers. They are also very good. You have a lot of choices."
Wen Shirui said after taking a sip of tea.
"Brother Wen, you are such a jerk. I have already expressed my feelings to you, but why are you still trying to push me away? I am very unhappy."
Lianyi pretended to be angry, placed the teacup heavily on the stone table, then turned and left the pavilion, returning to Ziyun Garden with the maid who was waiting not far away.
Wen Shirui did not chase after her. He watched Lianyi leave and then returned to his Cuizhu Courtyard.
Half an hour later, Wen Shige and Wen Shixuan arrived at their eldest brother's yard one after another.
"What do you think?"
"There is no spiritual energy fluctuation in Hong Ling'er's body, but she revealed that she practiced martial arts to strengthen her body. She said that what she practiced was just fancy boxing and embroidered kicks, but I don't think so."
Wen Shige said, shaking the folding fan in his hand.
"Song Jia is not only familiar with medical principles, but also knows how to use poison."
