Chapter 211: Seeing and Hearing Nothing

“Could this thing really be human skin?”

Ye Xiaoxiao noticed that the secret guard had a strange look on his face, especially since he was facing Xiao Mu's face, his expression looked very strange at this moment.

When Liu Yunniang saw this, she knew that Ye Xiaoxiao had encountered something interesting again.

But she had also heard of the making of the human skin mask, and didn't want to scare Ye Xiaoxiao. Seeing the secret guard looking embarrassed, she knew that this person didn't know how to refuse Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, this is someone close to His Majesty, don't be presumptuous, you are still young, it's better not to ask about these things."

"Okay, forget it. I'll study it myself."

Ye Xiaoxiao was not convinced, but she also knew that if the other party was unwilling to talk, she would not be able to press him any further.

After returning to the Liu Mansion, Ye Xiaoxiao immediately locked herself in the room and began to look through various books, trying to find clues related to the production of human skin masks.

Finally, Ye Xiaoxiao discovered the production method of the ancient human skin mask, but in her opinion, it was too bloody and cruel.

It turns out that this so-called human skin mask is actually made by carefully unfolding the peeled human skin and soaking it in special potions to prevent it from rotting and deteriorating.

This potion may be a mixture of some antiseptic herbs, minerals, etc. After soaking for a period of time, the human skin is taken out and dried to make it tougher.

Finally, it will be carved bit by bit according to the facial features of the person to be imitated. When Ye Xiaoxiao saw this first step, she gave up the idea of making it.

However, Ye Xiaoxiao did not give up.

If human skin doesn't work, maybe we can try another material!

In order to verify her conjecture, Ye Xiaoxiao began to collect various materials.

She found some soft leather, paint, glue, etc. and tried to make a simple mask.

She first cut out the shape of a face, then slowly outlined the facial features with paint.

Although her painting skills were not very advanced, after repeated attempts, the mask gradually took shape.

However, Ye Xiaoxiao soon discovered the problem.

Although the mask she made had some shape, it was still far from a real human skin mask.

Ye Xiaoxiao is not someone who gives up easily. She stayed in Liu Mansion for several days. Apart from eating, she would do experiments in the study and space.

Liu Yunniang was worried and even went back to the mansion in person. Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao busying herself, she couldn't bear to disturb her. Only when she saw that she was fine did she feel relieved.

According to His Majesty's instructions, she and "Xiao Mu" will leave Beijing in ten days.

Before that, Liu Yunniang naturally had to arrange Su Jinge's affairs.

Chunxi had already taken control of most of Su Jinge's business, and with the assistance of Manager Wang, Liu Yunniang decided to leave Beijing this time and leave Chunxi behind.

So, he stayed in Su Jinge these few days, teaching Chunxi how to manage the shop.

After Liu Yunniang decided to leave Chunxi in charge of Su Jinge, Chunxi was filled with reluctance.

She had been in the Liu Mansion since she was a child, and had been serving Liu Yunniang personally. Now that Liu Yunniang was leaving Beijing, she was naturally sad.

These past few days, Chunxi's eyes have been slightly red.

She listened carefully to every word Liu Yunniang said and tried hard to remember every detail, for fear that she would not do well and disappoint Liu Yunniang.

Seeing her like this, Liu Yunniang naturally felt bad.

"Chunxi, you know that you are the person I trust the most. I don't know what the future will be like when I leave Beijing this time. You have to look after Su Jinge for me. Besides, I can leave with peace of mind with Madam Xu taking care of the mansion and you in Su Jinge!"

When Chunxi heard this, he knew that the lady trusted him, but...

"Madam, Chunxi really doesn't want you to leave. I have never left your side before!"

Chunxi's voice was a little choked.

Liu Yunniang looked at Chunxi tenderly and patted her hand gently.

"Chunxi, you have to believe in your own abilities. I have seen your performance in Sujinge these days, and you have done a great job. I believe you can manage Sujinge well. Think about it, if one day, your wife and I divorce again, won't you still have to rely on this shop for your retirement?"

"Madam, how can you say that? If you say that, I can't leave your side anymore."

Chunxi bit her lips and tried hard to hold back her tears.

Seeing that she looked even sadder, Liu Yunniang hurriedly comforted her.

"You are so easy to please! You can't even listen to my jokes. Just help your wife and daughter to guard Su Jinge. As for the rest, don't worry. I won't suffer any loss."

Chunxi nodded heavily, his eyes firm.

"Madam, rest assured, Chunxi will not let you down."

Perhaps because he was afraid of arousing suspicion, "Xiao Mu" was summoned to the palace by Emperor Jingxuan every day in the past few days.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to leave Beijing.

When Ye Wenbo and Wu Yanrui walked into Su Jinge, Liu Yunniang was about to leave.

The moment she saw Ye Wenbo, Liu Yunniang's eyes turned slightly cold, but she quickly regained her composure.

When Ye Wenbo saw Liu Yunniang, he was also slightly stunned.

Although he knew that Su Jinge was opened by Liu Yunniang, he thought that as she was now the general's wife, she would definitely not stay in this shop every day.

But who would have known that he would meet her here on his first visit.

Ye Wenbo coughed dryly, trying to break the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

"I didn't expect to meet you here, Yunniang. What a coincidence."

Liu Yunniang raised her chin slightly, with a hint of indifference in her eyes.

"Chunxi, I'm going back first."

Her eyes did not linger on Ye Wenbo at all. After saying this to Chunxi, she prepared to leave with Yuezhu and Yuemei.

When Ye Wenbo saw her turn and leave without any intention to pay attention to him, a complex emotion surged in his heart.

He looked at Liu Yunniang's departing back, feeling both regretful and a little unwilling.

Once upon a time, he easily abandoned Liu Yunniang, but now seeing her become the general's wife and so radiant, the regret in his heart became even stronger.

Ever since Wu Yanrui came into the house, he rarely thought about Liu Yunniang. Sometimes, he even told himself over and over again that there was still someone who loved him deeply.

She despises herself, but some people regard her as the sky.

This secret desire to compare his thoughts made him feel much better.

Ye Wenbo stood there, staring blankly at Liu Yunniang disappearing at the door. Seeing him like this, Wu Yanrui felt even more disdainful.

She gently tugged at Ye Wenbo's sleeve, speaking softly.

"Master, are you okay?"

Ye Wenbo came back to his senses and glanced at Wu Yanrui, feeling a little irritated. But seeing her eyes full of affection and timidly looking at him, he couldn't bear it, so he suppressed his irritability and spoke slowly.

"Nothing. Didn't you say you wanted to pick something? Go ahead and choose. I'll wait for you over there."
