”Miss, do you want the rose garden?” The maidservant asked in a low voice. Grandmother Lanqing had prepared many snacks specially for the young miss. The entire backyard of Incense Stick Tower was filled with the fragrance of flowers. Missy likes rose cakes, and will certainly love the rose garden.

He secretly observed Luo Lingwei's expression and noticed that her eyebrows were tightly knitted. For a moment, it was hard to make a decision even though the atmosphere around the cliff was constantly changing.

”Miss?”

Luo Lingwei knew that she had noticed her abnormality and hurriedly nodded. ”Yes, go to the kitchen and bring some.”

Ya Xiang nodded and left with the empty lunchbox.

”Miss, are you thinking of where to put the box?” Ji Wu Ye silently watched as Luo Ling Wei finished her snacks and hugged the box with a worried look on her face.

”That's right, with my own ability, I won't be able to defend it. You won't take over, and it's hard to think of a safe place. ”

Luo Lingwei sighed with melancholy.

”What? You're blaming me?”

The sky was already completely dark. Ji Wu Ye opened the window to call out the night breeze. The bamboo words on the floor were not too high and were directed at an old laurel tree. Under the tree, Grandma was waving her fan and peddling. Although the osmanthus flowers were not in the air, the faint fragrance of osmanthus candy wafted in the air.

Xuanwu Street was located in the northern part of the city. It was where most of the people lived. There was no curfew at night, and the bright lights of the lanterns carried a long river of light through the crescent of the crowd.

”Is it the osmanthus candy?”

Luo Lingwei opened the curtain and took a sniff, only to see a stall selling osmanthus candy. Her eyes revealed a sense of nostalgia.

When the original owner was young, all he had dreamed of was to secretly save money to buy the osmanthus candy. Every New Year's Eve, she would give him a piece to watch Luo Lingxiao play with his maidservants while carefully eating it in the snow.

Ji Wu Ye sensed her emotions and ordered the servant that had stopped outside the door.

”Go and buy some. I also want to have a taste.”

Luo Lingwei stared blankly for a moment before revealing a happy smile.

I'm sorry, I can't quite trust you. Luo Lingwei felt a little guilty towards Ji Wu Ye. She glanced at Ji Wu Ye's gentle face as she gently opened the box. Inside the box were mainly the needlepoint small items for their daughter. There were also some household jewelry that weren't expensive, as well as the longevity locks that Qiu Xi had prepared for her daughter that she hadn't been able to deliver in time.

Luo Lingwei, did you see that? You have a mother who loves you the most in the world.

A gentle breeze blew past, and Luo Lingwei seemed to hear a sigh.

At the bottom of the box was a slender mahogany box with a lock of unknown material hanging from it.

Ji Wu Ye's expression turned cold: ”Xuan Tie!”

This must be the secret that Qiu Xi hid even at the end of her life! Carefully putting the box into her bosom, Luo Lingwei's heart thumped like thunder. When this box was opened, would the secret of the previous dynasty's dragon bloodline be unraveled?

”My dear man, there are so many osmanthus flowers scattered on the sugar.”

The door creaked open and an attendant came in with a small tray. The manservant had a strong and vigorous appearance, and seemed to be quite compatible with the cliff fragrance.

”Is this one of yours?”

Luo Lingwei turned to Ji Wuye. What should he do if he wanted to dig the bottom of Ji Wu Ye's wall with a single breath?

Luo Lingwei had also been infected by her emotions. Since they had obtained the box, they were now one step closer to success. Moreover, they wanted to obtain the contents of the box, so they might as well just grab it.

”Come and try it?” Ji Wu Ye didn't deny it. He used a silver needle to test the poison and then placed it in front of Luo Ling Wei.
