At the Ye Family residence, Bai Xiao sat cross-legged under the window, flipping through "Collection of Spices".
The autumn wind and rain outside the window sheltered several little birds under the leaves, chirping from time to time.
Mu Feier claimed that the scented insect was raised by her and had nothing to do with Madam Xiangrui. Bai Xiao didn't believe it!
Fragrance blending required the most effort; even with identical proportions of ingredients, the resulting scent would vary due to differences in temperature and humidity during blending.
Bai Xiao speculated that the insect had been fed with spices—and those spices were the very kind used by Madam Xiangrui!
She had gone through "Collection of Spices" numerous times to no avail. Bai Xiao looked at the author's signature on the last page and had a sudden thought: Why not send the author an email to inquire?
