Chapter 669 A Strange Scent (Part One)
Both stunned, Ning Qian and Lin Youran took a deep breath, looked at each other and shook their
heads. "No, we didn''t smell anything."
Yun Shang frowned a little and turned around to look at Qin Yi who was behind her, "did you smell the
scent?"
Qin Yi pondered for a moment, and then said hesitantly, "when I entered the room just now, I faintly
smelt something. But the smell was so nd that I couldn''t smell anything even if I stood in the room
for a moment. I recall it carefully and found the scent a little familiar. I think I have smelt it before
somewhere else. "
Yun Shang thought Qin Yi would also say that she didn''t smell it either, thinking whether it was her
illusion, but she didn''t expect Qin Yi to have the same feeling, and her eyes shed with excitement
after hearing her words.
"Now that Qin Yi has also smelt it, it''s not my illusion at all." Yun Shang said gently.
Realizing that there was indeed a strange faint fragrance in the room, Yun Shang went in and out of the
room with Qin Yi, intending to find something from the instantly shed fragrance. However, it didn''t
make any progress after ten times of walking in and out like this.
Yun Shang couldn''t help but frown and realized she had used the wrong method. Now that the scent
was only in this room, she should find it out in the room.
On the new year''s Eve, when Yun Shang felt the pulse for Lin Youran, she was all right. But now the
fetus was hurt. It must be what happened in these days.
Besides, the side hall where Lady Xiang lived was usually uninhabited, so it shouldn''t be a big problem.
It was a great surprise for Lin Youran to live in the side hall as well...
"What did Lin Youran bring here when she moved in?" Yun Shang walked to the bedside and sat down,
asking in a soft voice.
Lin Youran thought for a while and then said to her, "in the past, I was afraid that the staff in the shop
might be taken advantage of, so I didn''t bring anything with me when I checked in the side hall of the
Xiang Zhu Pce. The clothes are what the Lady Xiang ordered to bring into the pce from outside of
the pce, and the supplies we use are also brought from outside the pce. And almost all the
furniture in this room are newly made. I live in the side hall for three days before the servants bring
them here."
Yun Shang''s eyes ran down the furnishings in the room. In this way, everything in the room might be
possible to carry the scent.
Just as Yun Shang was thinking about it, Qin Yi suddenly pped her hands. Yun Shang turned around
to look at Qin Yi. Qin Yi hurriedly said to Yun Shang, "I always feel that the smell is familiar, but I can''t
remember it. I just heard from Lady Hui that almost all the things in the room are newly made, and it
suddenly urred to me what the smell is."
"Then what is this scent?" Yun Shang immediately asked.
"There is a thinyer of oil on the surface of new wooden furniture, which is usually used to guard the
wood against worms and insects. I don''t know what kind of oil it is, but it smells the same. Generally,
the smell of the oil disappear so quickly that it could only be found in the freshly made furniture. " Qin Yi
curtsied to Yun Shang and answered.

"Oil? The oil on the surface of the furniture? " Yun Shang sank into deep thought at these words. Then
she stood up, approached the pir of the bed where Lin Youran was lying on and smelt the scent.
Then she walked two more steps to the table and chairs by the bed, stooped down and smelt the table,
and it smelled the same.
Yun Shang pondered for a while. She had found the source of the scent, but she was not sure whether
it had something to do with the scent. She turned to Ning Qian and asked, "where did these things
"The Imperial Household Department is responsible for arranging furniture for each pce. After Lin
Youran moving the furniture to the side hall, the original bed, table and chairs in the side hall have been
for many years, so I asked the Imperial Household Department to send a new set here." Ning Qian
answered softly.
"Imperial household department?" Yun Shang couldn''t help but frown a little. The Imperial Household
Department was in charge of all the needs of the imperial household. Its personnel were extremely
department sent over.
"I have been in the pce of the state of Ning for a long time, knowing that some of the masters don''t
like the smell of this oil. If the furniture sent by the imperial household department are ready, they must
be sent to the imperial pce after drying in the pce for a period of time for the scent to disappear."
Qin Yi whispered to Ning Qian.
Yun Shang nced around the room. The tables and chairs were newly made, and the bed was also
newly made. Even the screens on the bedside were newly made. If there was indeed a problem with
the scent, it could be seen how shrewd the person behind it was.
But the most important thing now was to make sure that the matter on Lin Youran''s baby had
something to do with the scent of the oil on the furniture.
Yun Shang thought for a while and said to Lin Youran, "I don''t know whether it''s because of these
things or not, but I''m afraid you can''t stay here for the time being."
Ning Qian also nodded her head and said, "you can have a rest in my pce untildy Rui finds out
the truth."
After keeping silent for a while, Lin Youran said yes. Then Ning Qian told a maid who was waiting by
her side to help Lin Youran walk towards the main hall. After she left, Ning Qian said in a low voice, "I
think it''s probably these things that madedy Hui''s body became weak. I didn''t order my servants to
tell the imperial household department to bring a new set of furniture the next day Lin Youran moved
here. I remember the reply my maid told me, there is ready-made furnishings in the imperial household
department and it will be here soon. "
