Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 281
Chapter 281 The Big Patron
“I’m not lying, that’s the truth.”
Granny Diffa met Xiao Wu’s sharp eyes flatly, the corners of her mouth still slightly smiling, looking so calm. Without waiting for Xiao Wu to look at her, Granny Dixie Flower withdrew her eyes to look at Zhang Tong Tong who was kneeling beside her.
The blood on Zhang Tongtong’s head and face were caked in clumps, a trace of intolerance flashed through Granny Dixie’s eyes, and she finally couldn’t hold back from caressing Zhang Tongtong’s hair with her hand.
“Go pull someone away.”
Chu Yunshen took the interaction between these two in his eyes as he coldly instructed Listening Bamboo and Songtao.
Listening Bamboo Songtao’s speed was very fast, Granny Ogiwa’s hand had just touched Zhang Tongtong before she was dragged aside by Listening Bamboo, while Zhang Tongtong was yanked to the other side by Songtao.
张童童嘴里又发出了‘咿咿呀呀’的声音，对着荻花婆婆痛苦的挣扎着，似乎想要摆脱松涛的禁锢。
“What do you want?”
Granny Dixie’s face changed for a split second, and her voice lost its apt calmness.
“That depends on what Granny can do.”
Chu Yunshen still had that faint expression, it was the way he looked at Zhang Tongtong’s eyes how Granny Dee felt revealed a hint of danger.
“You cut him loose first.”
Granny Dixie looked at the still struggling Zhang Tong Tong and demanded at Chu Yun Shen, being able to see the pleading revealed in her eyes.
Chu Yunshen simply made a gesture to Listening Bamboo and the others, and Listening Bamboo Songtao unceremoniously escorted Granny Dixie Flower and Zhang Tongtong back to kneel where they were.
Granny Dixie was silent again, she lowered her head and thought for a long time, then looked at Zhang Tongtong who had been paying attention to her since she rekneeled beside her, as if she was recalling something.
Her hand was still resting on Zhang Tong Tong’s face, and this time, she even switched to gently stroking Zhang Tong Tong’s hair.
Eventually Granny Dixie thought about it and let go:
“I’m willing to believe you, His Highness King Jing, I don’t think he would swindle an old woman like me.”
Zhang Tongtong’s eyes and Granny Ogiwa’s eyes collided in the air, and he actually took the initiative to reveal a simple smile, naturally revealing those reddish white teeth again.
Granny Dixie returned his smile, and even reached out to flick Zhang Tongtong’s messy hair behind her ear.
“I was telling the truth when I said they didn’t come to me for mandrake powder.”
Granny Dixie said to Chu Yunshen and the others in her kind voice as she tidied up Zhang Tongtong’s hair:
“Because they came to buy ‘Beauty Incense’.”
Probably knowing that Chu Yunshen and the others didn’t know what she was talking about, Granny Diffa didn’t wait for them to ask, and already started to explain herself:
“‘Beauty Incense’ is, as the name suggests, incense made from beauty.”
Speaking of the incense she had made, the look on Granny Dixie’s face became extraordinarily gentle, and she wiped Zhang Tongtong’s face even more carefully than earlier.
“Everyone has a different scent, some smell good and obsessive, some smell bad and disgusting. But generally good looking women don’t smell too bad more or less.”
As Granny Dixie said, Mubai sniffed restlessly on his own body, not only that he also came over to Xiaowu’s side and sniffed Xiaowu.
If it wasn’t for Chu Yunshen stopping Mu Bai with a look, Mu Bai might have even come to Chu Yunshen’s side.
“I made the ‘Beauty Incense’ by applying animal grease to those women, then killing them, extracting the grease from those women’s bodies and refining it together with the original animal grease, and finally mixing in a small amount of mandarine powder.”
Granny Dixie explained the process of her incense making to the crowd in a businesslike manner, it was the first time she had ever described the steps publicly, Granny Dixie’s face was marked with a strong sense of pride, she was very proud of herself for being able to accomplish such a feat.
After all, there were numerous things to consider when making ‘Beauty Incense’, and the proportions and methods of all the ingredients were also very delicate.
I’m sure no one else could even think of such a method except for her, Granny Dixie, and she should be rightfully proud.
Taking in Granny Dixie’s expression, Chu Yunshen at the same time quickly hid the impatience and disgust in his eyes one by one.
It was like there was a fire burning in his chest right now, when he saw the secret room he knew that Granny Dixie would abuse those Hu women and Cheng Xiaoxiao would definitely be in danger.
But Chu Yunshen had never completely understood the relationship between Granny Diffa’s incense making and abuse, and it wasn’t until just now when Granny Diffa gave them a description of the incense making process that he realized that Granny Diffa’s intention to capture Cheng Xiaoxiao away was to do this.
The thought of vivid and fresh Cheng Xiaoxiao being disemboweled and taken out of the grease by Granny Dixie and having to take it to be steamed into balsam ……
Chu Yunshen’s hand on the table then involuntarily tightened, his knuckles were slightly white, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line.
Xiao Wu was closest to Chu Yunshen and naturally felt the sudden change of mood on Chu Yunshen’s body, the low pressure of the ‘mountain rain’ pressurized Xiao Wu to the point where he could hardly breathe.
He hurriedly interrupted the words of Granny Dixie, “You said it is that they came to buy this kind of incense, then why did the Hu merchants and them ……?”
“Why is Hu Shang’s mandala powder? Those mandala powders of Hu Shang and theirs were also mixed with a few drops of ‘Beauty Fragrance’ by me, and ‘Beauty Fragrance’ is so precious, how could everyone have it.”
Granny Dixie snorted as if mocking Xiao Wu’s ignorance.
“Is that why they stock up with you every time, because other people don’t have the ‘beauty scent’ in their mandala powder and it doesn’t really work?”
Granny Dixie didn’t say anything, but only nodded condescendingly at Xiaowu.
“But what is the purpose of you doing this? You don’t want the money either, and even if you did want the money, it’s perfectly possible to make money from that big patron who customizes ‘Beauty Incense’.”
Xiaowu was a little puzzled by what Granny Ogiwa was doing, he guessed with his arms around his chest.
“What is money? Each ‘Beauty Incense’ is different, so naturally we need to take it out and test it more. But you can’t just take the incense to the Hu merchants, there’s not enough to share over there.”
Granny Dixie shook her head disapprovingly at Xiao Wu and spoke her true thoughts.
Chu Yunshen noticed that Granny Diffa’s tone when she mentioned ”Beauty Incense” was a few points more excited than when she talked about other things, and her cloudy eyes were even bursting with a strange light.
“Is that side more important than the Hoosiers?”
Chu Yunshen hid the emotions he had just felt in the bottom of his heart, and asked Granny Ogiwa in his low voice.
“Rather talk about what is important or not, figure I am in a good or bad mood.” Granny Dixie said rather domineeringly, and soon laughed joyfully again:
“But if you want to know something else, you can trade me the woman you took.”
When Granny Dixie mentioned this matter again, Chu Yunshen’s brows instantly tightened, and there was quite a bit of impatience in his expression.
“You’re in no position to negotiate with me, think about that house of yours.”
This time, Xiao Wu didn’t even have time to speak, and Chu Yunshen himself spoke coldly to Granny Dixie.
“What do you want?”
At the mention of the secret room, Granny Dixie’s pupils all narrowed slightly as she asked suspiciously.
“What if you had a fire in that house?”
Chu Yunshen lightly tapped the desktop and said without lifting his head.
Granny Diffa looked at Chu Yunshen for a long time, trying to see something on Chu Yunshen’s face, but unfortunately Chu Yunshen just hung his eyes and tapped his fingers on the tabletop, cozy like he was waiting for Granny Diffa to talk to him about family matters.
“If I give an account, you will spare me those incense?”
After a long time without speaking, Granny Dixie knew that these people were waiting for her answer, she deliberated for a moment and finally opened her mouth.
Chu Yunshen didn’t intentionally put on a show either, and only returned a faint sentence:
“I’ll think about it.”
Granny Diffa did not answer, she lowered her head seemingly contemplating the credibility of Chu Yunshen’s words. Xiao Wu sensed Chu Yun Shen’s eye grant and did not wait for Granny Diffuse to reply, but asked directly:
“Do you know what the purpose of buying ‘Beauty Incense’ is over there?”
Granny Dixie shook her head again with a big grin full of concern:
“How do I know what the purpose is, all I care about is what the people who buy the incense say about it.”
Xiao Wu sighed with a slight headache as he held his forehead helplessly and asked again:
“And what did the group you mentioned look like?”
“What else could it look like? Wearing a human skin mask like you, you can’t tell what you look like.”
Granny Dixie pointed to everyone except for the collapsed He LuLu on the ground, from Hearing Bamboo SongTao to Xiao Wu and the rest of them, and finally Chu YunShen who was sitting in front of the table.
Chu Yunshen merely raised an undeniable eyebrow, but the others were darting glances at each other with flustered eyes. The most obvious one was Mu Bai, who was almost about to walk straight to Granny Dilahua to have a discussion with her.
“You want to ask me how I know that you have changed your faces? Don’t worry, your techniques are so skillful that ordinary people can’t see anything broken.”
Granny Dixie saw Mubai’s appearance also comfortingly perfunctory a few words, and then said with a slight smugness:
“But nothing gets past my nose, that potion smell you guys are wearing, it’s so pungent.”
Mubai’s craftsmanship he himself is clear, when the master in the mountains have praised him in this aspect of the talent, today actually easy to be Ogiwa granny recognized, he did not believe in want to come over to smell Xiaowu.
Xiaowu is naturally hurried to reach out and refuse, the two actually stalemate for a time or Granny Dixia first exit to solve the problem:
“No need to smell it, you won’t be able to.”
Mubai was still disbelievingly tugging at Xiaowu and refusing to let go, but his head was twisted toward Granny Ogiwa’s side in an attempt to ask for confirmation again.
Granny Dixie looked serious and nodded at Mubai before Mubai unwillingly loosened her hand.
Offhandedly, he wanted to sniff Xiaowu again when he left, and it was only after Chu Yunshen glanced over with a cool look that Mu Bai duly withdrew his hand.
“Removing the skins and masks, what are the characteristics of those people.”
Xiao Wu glared at Mubai and had to continue interrogating Granny Ogiwa, probably because Granny Ogiwa had just helped him out, Xiao Wu’s tone was not as serious as before.
“No, but they were terrified of that leader among them and were extremely respectful in word and deed.”
Granny Dixie had been struggling to answer questions ever since Chu Yunshen had mentioned the secret room, and now she was doing the same when it came to the crucial news.
“I’ve only seen that leader a few times, I remember that his clothes have a musk and good sandalwood scent, that incense should be used to smoke clothes, only the sons of prominent noble families can afford to use.”
Granny Dixie’s description had actually been very detailed, it was still that she was more sensitive to odors, it was impossible for a normal person to smell the extremely faint smoky scent, or to judge it from the scent that remained on the clothing of a person she had only met a few times.
