Sweet Fruit looked up and saw that Shi Lan didn't seem to be joking, so she relaxed, pursed her lips, and got up.
Seeing that she still looked somewhat displeased, Shi Lan coaxed her a couple more times until she smiled and then said in a coquettish tone that she wanted to eat sweet bean cake.
Sweetie had already been completely charmed by Shi Lan, so she had no choice but to agree.
In a moment, steam rose from the small kitchen. Shi Lan was intrigued by the aroma and, remembering that she had made sesame cakes before, prepared to show off her skills. Tian Guo quickly helped her roll up her sleeves and tie her apron.
The two were busy at work when Cuizhi's voice came from the doorway, "Miss."
Shi Lan turned her head and saw that Cui Zhi's face was dark and her expression was not right. Her heart sank and she quickly shook her hand and walked towards her.
"What's wrong?"
Cui Zhi pursed her lips, looked around, and bent down to help Shi Lan straighten her sleeves. Only after the two entered the inner room did she close the door, come to Shi Lan's side, and whisper, "Mother Liu has left the mansion. Xiao Liu saw her go to the brothel and buy a box of perfume and a stick of incense from there."
Shi Lan blinked, somewhat confused. "Aren't you supposed to go to a rouge shop to buy perfume? Why did we go to a brothel?"
Cui Zhi nodded and said, "Xiao Liu also found it strange, so he specifically asked about it. The people inside said that there's something in this balm and incense that can make people..."
Cuizhi blushed and stammered for a long time, but couldn't say what could happen.
Shi Lan grew anxious, grabbed her, and asked, "What can we do?"
Cui Zhi lowered her head, rubbing her sleeves, her voice barely audible, "It can make people lose their minds and only want to do that thing."
"What's wrong?" Shi Lan asked her, looking rather clueless.
"Oh dear, I can't say it," Cuizhi blushed like a ripe persimmon, turned away and walked to the side, refusing to come back.
Shi Lan stroked her chin, pondering for a long time before belatedly realizing what was going on. However, it was normal for a seven-year-old child not to understand. Who would have thought that there was an old monster inside, only that this monster was a bit slow-witted and had a slow mind?
Putting aside her wild thoughts, Shi Lan pondered the uses of those things and couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
Liu's mother is too old to use those things at all. The only one who can use them is Shi Yi. But what does Shi Yi want to do with them?
Shi Lan thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution, so she simply gave up and ordered Cuizhi to go and invite Liu Mama. (To be continued.)
