Shen Xiaoxiao looked up at Huo Wanting’s nervous look. She took a sip of her tea and said to Huo Wanting, “Miss Huo, why do you have Banxia?”
Banxia?
She said Banxia?
Huo Wanting was stunned at first, then she looked at Shen Xiaoxiao in surprise and asked, “How do you know about Banxia?”
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled but didn’t say anything. She released all the pressure on her body. Even Huo Wanting, who had been through a lot, had cold sweat on her forehead. Was she trying to show off her power?
“My Banxia was passed down to me by the previous mistress.”
Hearing this answer, Shen Xiaoxiao slowly withdrew her pressure. This answer was not fake.
From the beginning of the question, Huang Yueyan stopped interrupting and allowed Shen Xiaoxiao to do as she pleased. However, Shen Xiaoxiao’s aura was getting stronger and stronger. Huo Wanting and Liu He had already lived a normal life for a few years. They were not used to such pressure.
“Tell me everything you know.”
Huo Wanting looked at Liu He. Liu He shook her hand as if to encourage her. Huo Wanting had lived a normal life for a few years. She did not want any changes now. She was very satisfied to have these stolen years.
Since they didn’t mean any harm, Huo Wanting naturally told them everything she knew.
“Before she died, the old madam gave the two treasures to Ouyang Jinguo and me. Ouyang Jinguo is her favorite youngest son, and he is also the most unlike the Ouyang family. He has no ambition, so he has never been liked by Ouyang Tian.”
“In order to prevent Ouyang Jinguo from not being able to settle down in the future, she gave him the two treasures. Banxia, and the Suoyin flower, which she was going to pass to the next mistress. She gave me the other Banxia.”
“At that time, the old madam was poisoned by the Suoyin flower and there was no cure. I was her chosen daughter-in-law. She had taught me for many years and she was sincere to me. She told me that Banxia was the nemesis of the Nine-Tailed Snake. If, if…”
Huo Wanting was a little embarrassed to say this, but seeing Liu He holding her hand carelessly, she looked at Shen Xiaoxiao and Huang Yueyan and gathered her courage:
“If one day I want to get rid of the Nine-Tailed Snake and live a normal life, I can use this thing to avoid the Nine-Tailed Snake and relieve my pain. Of course, there is another way, which is to not touch any men and save my life.”
“As you can see, I have Liu He and will not want any other men, so this Banxia is of no use to me. So, after the accident at the Ouyang family, I gave this thing to Yueyan. I hope you can give them some help when your two cousins come out.”
It turned out to be something passed down from the previous generation. However, Shen Xiaoxiao already knew that the old woman had the Suoyin flower. It seemed that this was the condition that Ouyang Jinguo used to trade with the old woman to save Ouyang Le.
It was really a coincidence.
“Yueyan, that’s all I know. What else do you want to know?”
Huang Yueyan glanced at Shen Xiaoxiao. Obviously, she wanted Shen Xiaoxiao to ask her own question. Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t hesitate and said directly, “Have you ever been to the situation of the Ouyang family? I’m talking about the forbidden area of the Suoyin flower.”
Huo Wanting was shocked. Shen Xiaoxiao actually knew about this?
“No, but I do know that there is such a place. I know that you want to know if Banxia blooms next to the Suoyin flower. After all, it has always been fighting poison with poison, right?”
Huo Wanting was indeed Huo Wanting. She was still so smart even now. As soon as Shen Xiaoxiao mentioned it, she knew what she wanted to ask.
Indeed, she wanted to know if this Banxia would open in that place.
“No, Banxia definitely wouldn’t open in that place. That’s because when I saw the old madam give Banxia to me with my own eyes, she used a stove below to roast the Banxia.”
“Roast?”
“Yes, this Banxia loves fire very much. Once it touches fire, it will emit an extremely strong fragrance, and it will bloom completely. It is two extremes compared to the Suoyin flower. The Suoyin flower loves yin, while the Banxia loves yang.”
Although they knew that there were all sorts of strange things in this world, they were still filled with curiosity towards the Banxia.
“Do you know about the Suoyin Flower Tears?”
“The Ouyang family is extremely poisonous. I know more about this than Wanting. I can tell you.”
Liu He spoke at this moment. They looked at Liu He at the same time. Actually, if they were to say that they were impressed, Shen Xiaoxiao was very impressed by Liu He. Not only did he not marry and wait for Huo Wanting for the rest of his life, he was willing to sacrifice his heart and soul for her. How lucky was a woman like Huo Wanting to meet such an infatuated man?
No matter how bad a man was, as long as he treated a woman well, he was not a bad person.
Shen Xiaoxiao knew this very well.
Therefore, the way she looked at Liu He was not mocking or looking down on him. There was even a hint of recognition.
This was the first time Liu He had seen this kind of gaze. He thought that they must have looked down on him. After all, he was only the illegitimate son of the Ouyang family.
Perhaps it was because of this look, or perhaps there was nothing to hide, the Ouyang family had already lost. Therefore, Liu He spoke without restraint.
“The Suoyin Flower Tears is not incurable.”
Just one sentence was like a heavy bomb hitting everyone’s heart. It was not incurable?
“50 years ago, Ouyang Tian only destroyed all the antidote to the Suoyin Flower Tears after he became the family head. It was because he gave his biological brother, the successor that the previous family head had taken a fancy to, the Suoyin Flower Tears poison. Therefore, he did not wish for the other party to survive, so he destroyed all the antidote.”
“Then, you say that there is a cure for this poison?”
“Wanting was in the inner residence after all, so she didn’t know Ouyang Tian. Ouyang Tian would never be so reckless as to not leave any antidote. He was suspicious and valued his life. Among the nine housekeepers that he groomed, there was a housekeeper who specialized in the management of medicine and my father had a very good relationship. One time when he was drunk, he revealed that the antidote for the Suoyin Flower Tears needed a few things to be concocted.”
Hearing Liu He’s words, Shen Xiaoxiao had already guessed what Liu He was going to say next.
“Those few things are the Yin-Yang Fruit, Black Ganoderma, and Yin-Seeking flower.”
After Liuhe said this, he looked at Shen Xiaoxiao. Because the Yin-Yang Fruit and Black Ganoderma were both from the Shen family, and the Yin-Yang Fruit was in the Shen family’s secret fund, he naturally looked at Shen Xiaoxiao.
“Doesn’t that mean he didn’t say it? Doesn’t Ouyang Tian have the antidote?”
“Yes, but it’s the antidote passed down from the ancestors. Ouyang Tian has already taken it.”
“What? Why would Ouyang Tian take it himself? Could it be that he has also been affected by the Suoyin Flower Tears?”
This surprised everyone.
Liu He saw that everyone was so surprised and continued to say:
“Back then, in order to seize the position of the family, everyone fought to the death. How could they trust people so easily? If they didn’t drink the poison wine with the Suoyin Flower Tears together, would Ouyang Tian be able to deceive his big brother who was praised as the most outstanding heir of the Ouyang family?”
