The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time

Chapter 174: Shao Cheng Accidental Found And Ren Yuan Sudden Wary Attitude..

After throwing Ren Yuan out from the kitchen, Shao Cheng expression instantly turned grim while a cold chill flashes upon his sapphire eyes while gazing at the normal-looking objects inside the kitchen that was spread around the place, along with the dried herbs that were stored unusually from the outside.

Truly harmless appearance, however, for an extremely experienced person with medical and medicinal skills along with a poison expert title, there is no way that Shao Cheng would be able to miss the unusualness around the entire room.

"They dare"

Crack.

The kitchen tool on Shao Cheng's hands has suddenly broken apart while a gentle smile filled with contracting frigidness appeared on his face.

There is a reason why Shao Cheng has prefer to use his mother's Kitchen rather than the main kitchen in the residence and it was the fact that it's supposed to be the safest place to cook, after all, no matter what rank the aristocrat family has, they understood that being secretly poison by people with malicious intent is the most usual situation that they will definitely face.

And the Shao Family no matter how unskilled they are in political schemes can easily understand that certain fact, so it's understandable how the personal kitchen of Su Yanmei will be greatly taken care of, however, now Shao Cheng saw a certain complex poison that was just carefully placed inside the entire room.

When Shao Cheng spoke about being complex, even a poison expert will have a hard time perceiving what he found out because it is truly harmless objects among the dry herbs that were carefully placed in the open space.

it's like a when those scientists on earth are performing a formula experiment, just one mistake or one added object in their test subject abruptly turned into a completely dangerous situation that it could even cause a certain deadly consequence.

So, if a person stays in this place for a long time, which is enough time after cooking a simple dish will definitely cause the person to become greatly affected after touching, eating, or even smelling the single item that has the herbs that are needed to cause the seemingly harmless poison formula place inside the kitchen to become extremely deadly.

And even Shao Cheng wouldn't have quickly figured it all out if he didn't already have a certain knowledge about the poison place in this place, which was ironically used to Chang Pei before and now the experience in the previous life is showing it uses, life is truly hilarious in its own way.

"Hah to think that such vicious and meticulous design has appeared so early so audacious move...damn the Emperor wives..."

Shao Cheng has slowly let go of the tight grip of his hand causing the broken pieces on his palm to drop down in the ground, although he wanted to turn it into dust and quickly remove the dangerous poison in the kitchen, nonetheless, he could only restrain himself from doing so.

After all, Shao Cheng couldn't let the person know that he already figured out what those people planned are, especially when the events that lead to certain situations in the previous life is slowly being connected in his mind.

Shao Cheng has tightly closed his eyes when he couldn't help but remember the death of his two mothers, it was an impossible surprise bandit attacked during their stay in a temple outside the Capital during a heavily raining day.

It was a sudden trip during the time that Shao Yin was busy dealing with the order of the Emperor that he couldn't refuse, so there weren't many people protecting his Mothers during that time.

And the reason why they were away in the Capital was that Su Chunhua has been completely worried about Su Yanmei who's health was suddenly agitated at a dangerous level.

It has been a last result after hearing the news regarding an excellent and talented traveling well-known physician staying in that temple for a while that his Mother Chunhua desperate attempt to cure Su Yanmei has suddenly traveled in a hurry.

Especially when Su Yanmei's situation truly needs a medical cure after the other well-known physicians in the Capital has failed to figure out what is wrong with her health sudden failure that she was taken along in the trip just for the chance to get better again, never knowing that they will meet a miserable ending after leaving.

Although Shao Cheng doesn't have the full detail about what truly happened because his family has tried to speak it in a nice way despite knowing the fact that he remains indifferent about them, however, he can already recognize that his Mothers ending wasn't a kind one.

It was naively foolish of them to still treat him nicely but at the same time, he was simply foolishly blind and cruel that his gentle smile becomes eerily blank when he remembers his ruthless and heartless attitude.

Fortunately, Shao Cheng didn't have time to lament his foolish self since there is a more extremely important insight that has flash in his mind after finding out the hidden poison in his Mother Yanmei personal kitchen.

"... ah, there is a traitor in the Shao Family."

Shao Chen was quite sure that someone has spoken the news to Su Chunhua, after all, only people closest to them will easily let his Mother trust that person's words alone to suddenly take an abrupt trip without a properly planned one.

Because, during those times, the Shao family foundation is already badly shaken, especially with what happened to some of his siblings that are facing their own difficulties.

And when Shao Cheng spoke traitor in the Shao Family, it was more likely, the cut-off members in the Shao Family, which is his father's brothers that were removed from the family line.

It was the unusual way of the Shao Family dealing in the past generation now, cutting off the one who isn't chosen as the future successor of the Shao family although it was cut off, they are still Shao but just doesn't have any right to mix in the Shao problems while also treating them kindly.

The removing process in the family just means that if a crime was suddenly caused by a person that it greatly affects even their own family, would never harm the others since it will just be their own responsibility to bear.

"... another issue to deal with"

However, unlike the young man problem last night, Shao Cheng is completely determined to deal with the problem he accidentally found out while also taking notice that his special power way of detecting the entire place isn't perfect.

After all, Shao Cheng was just using one of his senses when detecting the Shao Residence a few days ago, which is his vision, when simply connecting to the living being that has life energy within them, although possessing an animal body would have caused him to figure out the problem in the kitchen, however, he rarely performs it because of the unnecessary stress.

"Little Cheng~ Its cold outside~ Let me come in~ I promise to behave and will just watch your outstanding cooking skill!"

Suddenly, Shao Cheng thought process was abruptly cut off after hearing Ren Yuan loud begging voice from the outside, although he could tell how false his first words were since the man internal energy is thicker than him so there is no way that he will feel cold, but his severe expression has quickly returned to normal.

"...a fool"

Softly whispering those words out Shao Cheng was suddenly reminded the time that he has lived as a spirit while following Ren Yuan in the previous life.

"Yes, a fool"

Despite speaking such a harsh word, Shao Cheng sensed the heavy pressure that he felt completely disappeared just like that since he figured out that his responsibility in his new life was far more difficult and heavier because there are suddenly so many people he needed to protect.

It was no longer Huang Ya and Chang Pei alone.

Although it's going to be troublesome, yet, the result of it all is definitely worth it, especially when among the people in the list, Ren Yuan is the first one.

So, Shao Cheng has made sure that everything inside the kitchen is alright before opening the door while gently leaning on the side while tilting his head and gazing upon the brighten peach blossom grey eyes that clearly reflect his figure.

"... come in"

After staying silent for a while, Shao Cheng has finally opened his mouth to speak and causing Ren Yuan to jolt up in surprise after waking up at the suddenly unusual silence he reacted after their gaze met.

"Ah~ I know Little Cheng wouldn't leave me alone outside for too long! I'm sure you have been worry the whole time right? I'm so happy that you cared so much about me~"

And when Ren Yuan daringly open his arms wide after shamelessly speaking those words out, Shao Cheng just quietly let Ren Yuan wrapped his entire arms around him.

"What is this you are so docile and obedient that I'm a bit scared now."

Shao Cheng just silently raises his arms to wrap it around the man back while slowly closing his eyes and feeling the familiar way that Ren Yuan's presence can easily soothe his darkened mood and worries.

"... just for a bit"

He is greatly determined to deal with everything while also more confidence in this new life, however, everything can suddenly become dangerous if he ever performs one wrong move when handling their enemies, especially when it's about the Royal Family.

There is never an easy way out, and anything can happen despite how experiences Shao Cheng was in dealing with such people yet, the fear of losing people precious to him is something that can easily alarm and terrify him.

It's the reason why he only managed to care for three people in the two lifetime he experiences and now, his third life is numerous in numbers.

"...so you need Brother Yuan now? Alright, I'll allow you to keep hugging me for comfort."

Ren Yuan who can somehow perceive something off about the young man has casually spoken in an annoying way, although the sound of his voice appeared confident and bright, yet, the expression on his face is in a completely different manner while his hand began to gently pat the young man thin back.

"... you are still so thin. Come on, let's go inside and cook food. I'll make sure you are greatly taking care of and healthy too!"

"..."

Do you want to make me chubby like Chen Yu too? Shao Cheng lip twitch before finally opening his eyes and letting go of the man that couldn't remain in a peaceful atmosphere for a long time.

"I'll keep you healthy."

Somehow, Shao Cheng curiously eyed Ren Yun that has suddenly tensed up after hearing his reply back and couldn't help but become interested when he imagine a chubby Ren Yuan.

The man will definitely be more comfortable to hold later on right?

"Um Little Cheng why are you looking at me like that?"
