Chapter 832: Smelling Blood on Shen Rongyin Again
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Father Chi left, Chi Shuyan fell into deep thought and couldn’t help but wonder if it was really vampires who had sucked all the blood. However, her father had said that someone had seen these things bite and suck blood, and there was also video evidence.
Chi Shuyan really wanted to take a look at the video, but it was probably classified as top secret. As an ordinary student, she wouldn’t be able to access it.
Chi Shuyan was about to go out and take a look, when there was a knock on the door. She opened the door, and sure enough, it was Shen Rongyin outside.
She didn’t know if she was seeing things, but Chi Shuyan felt that the woman in front of her had regained some color in her complexion and looked much better. This time, she actually smelled a strong bloody smell from the woman in front of her.
Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes. She very much suspected that the “vampire bites” had something to do with this woman and with the fact that the daughter of the Ren family had been sucked dry of blood and turned into a dry corpse, even though Chi Shuyan couldn’t say for sure how the two were related.
The woman in front of her was indeed human.
Nevertheless, as soon as news about vampires biting people and sucking their blood dry appeared, Chi Shuyan smelled blood on this woman again. This was too much of a coincidence.
Chi Shuyan tried her best to look calm and pretend that she didn’t know anything. She feigned happiness and called out, “Aunt Shen!”
“Yan Yan, are you free? Don’t you especially like fragrant pouches, and want to make your own? Let’s go, I’ll teach you!” Shen Rongyin was gentle and amiable.
Chi Shuyan revealed a happy expression and smiled. “Really, Aunt Shen?”
Not long after, Shen Rongyin took her to a flowerbed in the Shen family’s back garden. Because Commissar Shen had a high position and had made a lot of contributions to the military, not only was the house assigned to the Shen family big, it also had a pretty big courtyard at the back. Father and Mother Shen doted on Shen Rongyin, and let her use the flowerbed to grow flowers.
Shen Rongyin had planted all sorts of flowers here, which looked really beautiful from afar.
Shen Rongyin’s eyebrows were gentle as she said, “Yan Yan, let’s pick some flowers and dry them first. When the time comes, we’ll be able to make fragrant pouches!”
Chi Shuyan examined the flower garden absent-mindedly, and her searching gaze fell on the beautiful and somewhat bewitching jade bracelet on Shen Rongyin’s wrist again, which looked slightly blood-red.
While this bracelet was very beautiful at first glance, Chi Shuyan didn’t like it much.
Seeing that the little girl in front of her was staring at the bracelet on her wrist, Shen Rongyin’s eyes darkened a bit. She suddenly smiled and said, “Yan Yan, what’s wrong? Do you like this bracelet a lot?”
Chi Shuyan smiled shyly. “Aunt Shen, I just think this bracelet is too beautiful!”
Shen Rongyin nodded and said, “I saw that this bracelet was indeed beautiful back then, which is why I bought it. Yan Yan, if you like it, I’ll give it to you!” As she spoke, Shen Rongyin made a move to take off the bracelet and give it to her.
Chi Shuyan saw that the woman wasn’t joking, and she really put the bracelet on her. Chi Shuyan immediately dismissed her suspicions about the bracelet and returned it to her. “Aunt Shen, this bracelet is too precious. I can’t take it!”
Seeing the girl continue to refuse despite Shen Rongyin’s repeated insistence, the latter gave in. “Alright, Yan Yan. Let’s make some fragrant pouches first, and you can take more back with you later!”
“Okay!”
