Chapter 166: The Truth
"Nian'er, I've heard what Ginkgo said, have you remembered everything?" Grandmother took Ran Qiunian's hand and sat down at the table, and couldn't help but confirm.
"Ginkgo is right, Nian'er has regained her memory, and she remembers everything." Ran Qiunian smiled at her grandmother, and her eyes were a little moist.
"Good boy, you're suffering."
Grandmother said distressedly, raised her hand to take Ran Qiunian into her arms and hugged her, and patted her on the back.
The grandfather and grandson talked for a while, and after the grandmother calmed down, she released Ran Qiunian from her arms, and then said the previous question: "Since Nian'er has recovered her memory, why do you want to hide this news?" ”
Ran Qiunian was silent for a moment in the face of her grandmother's question, and wanted to tell her grandmother about Qi Ruoyun, but she couldn't bear to worry her grandmother because of this, so she only said ambiguously:
"Some things need to be considered in the long run, and besides, Ran Qiunian, who has amnesia, is more reassuring than Ran Qiunian, who knows everything. Grandmother and belief, now is not the time, it is inevitable to startle the snake, and ask grandmother to keep the secret for Nian'er. ”
Grandmother looked at Ran Qiunian thoughtfully and nodded in response.
The two of them didn't mention this, Ran Qiunian served a bowl of soup for her grandmother, the atmosphere eased a lot, and she continued to ask:
"Grandmother, Sister Ginkgo hasn't explained to me before, why didn't that girl from Qingxi go to Beijing with her, did something happen?"
Grandmother didn't think it was strange when she heard Ran Qiunian ask about Qingxi, Qingxi was a person who had been with Ran Qiunian since she was a child, and her loyalty and friendship were needless to say.
"Didn't Nian'er forget? Before you left, you told the girl in Qingxi to look at the white stacked land for you, and the girl was also stubborn, saying that the ground was inseparable from people, and she wanted to guard it for you and plant the white stacks. ”
Ran Qiu Nian was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect that the land would be fine, she never thought that Qingxi was still taking care of her, and she was comforted and distressed for a while.
"This girl ......," Ran Qiunian sighed in a low voice.
After talking about Qingxi, my grandmother couldn't help but ask about what happened today: "I didn't have time to ask you, I heard that you went to the street with the Lin sisters today and met bandits?" As soon as you returned home, you were sent to the ghost doctor, were you injured? ”
Ran Qiunian came back to her senses, and saw that her grandmother couldn't hide her worry between her eyebrows, so she hurriedly explained with a smile: "There is no danger, fortunately, the eldest brother is nearby, and he rushed over when he heard the movement. ”
"Really?" Grandmother was a little unconvinced.
Ran Qiunian nodded firmly: "That's right, grandmother, don't worry." ”
"Speaking of which, for this matter, the eldest brother was also announced into the palace, and I don't know where those robbers came from, and they even alarmed the saint."
Ran Qiunian sighed, speaking of which, today I still blame her for not thinking well, the eldest lady of the Lin family is waiting to be married in the mansion in a good manner, but she didn't push people out lightly, which caused this turmoil, fortunately, there was no major incident, otherwise she really didn't know how to face the Lin family.
"After this incident, I have to go to the Lin family in person later, and make amends to Miss Lin for this unwarranted disaster."
"Only those who are thieves all day long, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves all day long? The robbers are going to kidnap people, no one expected it, this is just an accident, how can it be counted on your head? You don't need to worry too much about it. ”
When the grandmother saw Ran Qiunian's eyes blaming herself, after knowing the whole story, she spoke out to comfort her.
In fact, today's danger was indeed not caused by Ran Qiunian, after Xiao Yin entered the palace, the official in charge of interrogating the three robbers told all the news they had obtained, and these robbers were going towards the Lin family from the beginning.
"The Lin family is a family of benevolence, the most benevolent, and never grudges with others, how can it provoke so many outlaws?"
Later, he went back to his yard, and after hearing about this matter from Xiao Yin, Ran Qiunian hurriedly asked.
"Do you still remember the Lingnan iron ore loss case, a batch of iron ore seized from Zhang Shaoxian?"
Xiao Yin said, Ran Qiu was stunned for a moment, and nodded, how could she forget this matter?
"What do these robbers have to do with that iron mine? But even so, they should be going to the people who are investigating the case, what does it have to do with the Lin family? ”
Ran Qiu Nian couldn't figure it out, but Xiao Yin directly pointed out the crux of the problem.
"On the way back to Splendid City, the iron ore encountered robbers, and it also alarmed the state officials of that area, whether it was iron ore or the robbers who were caught, they were all detained in the state capital, and those robbers were all put on death row, and these four were lucky to escape at that time and wandered outside."
Ran Qiunian remembered this incident, and at that time she also sighed that the adult's courage was so great, even Qi Ruoyun, who was in charge of escorting the iron mine, was detained together, and his honesty and honesty were admirable.
But I heard Xiao Yin continue: "That adult is surnamed Lin. ”
So that's the case, Ran Qiunian suddenly said: "But the Lin family in the capital is the same family?" It's no wonder that those robbers couldn't find a chance to retaliate and wandered into the capital, just under the idea of attacking the Lin family sisters. Bullying the soft and fearing the hard is despicable. ”
Xiao Yin bowed his head, if it weren't for Ran Qiunian who lured out this group of robbers in advance by mistake, they originally planned to start on the day of the Lin family's eldest lady's marriage, so that the Lin family's red affair would become a white matter.
Speaking of which, the Lin family not only did not blame Ran Qiunian and Lin Hanshan for letting Lin Yanyu out of the house together, but also prepared a generous gift to thank Ran Qiunian.
Knowing that she didn't cause trouble, Ran Qiunian was relieved, but as for the Lin family's gratitude, she was ashamed of it, so she didn't mention it.
"Big brother, you must have seen Qi Ruoyun when you entered the palace today, and the saint mentioned the Lingnan iron mine case, I don't know how he dealt with it?"
Ran Qiunian suddenly asked, Xiao Yin looked down at Ran Qiunian, knowing that she was not waiting for her response, but by starting from this matter, leading to what she wanted to say next, so she listened intently.
"Did you know that on that moat that day, I had a chance to be saved?" Ran Qiu thought about it again and again, and then spoke.
"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Yin's eyelids jumped, and he suddenly had some bad guesses in his heart, and his face was a little ugly.
Sure enough, Ran Qiunian's next words confirmed his conjecture: "Before my rope was cut, Liu He was already dead. It was Qi Ruoyun who cut the rope with a hidden weapon, wanting me to be drowned in the moat so that I could kill people. ”
"How dare Qi Ruoyun?" Xiao Yin's eyes were cold, and his tone unconsciously brought a little chill because of anger.
"If I live, he will be finished, and naturally he can only kill me. It's a pity that my life was great, and I was saved by my big brother's life. ”
Ran Qiunian's tone was also a little cold, and as he spoke, he pulled a mocking smile: "I don't know why his attitude towards me is like two people, but from Liu He's words with him, one thing can be determined, Qi Ruoyun will definitely not be involved in the iron ore smuggling case!" ”
It's just that I don't know what role he plays in this, how much he has intervened, or whether he has even taken the entire Qi State Mansion into the case of smuggling iron ore.
"This matter is a big matter, are you sure you heard it right?" Xiao Yin didn't believe in Ran Qiunian, but the stakes were very important and needed to be confirmed.
Ran Qiunian didn't think it was wrong, and when he heard the words, he also thought about it carefully, and carefully recalled what happened on the moat that day, and told Xiao Yin everything in detail.
"This matter involves the Guogong Mansion and the iron ore smuggling case, it is not something you and I can handle, you and I go to see my uncle together, you need to tell him about this matter as soon as possible."
"You're right, we'll go to my uncle now, smuggling iron ore is a major event that shakes the foundation of the imperial court, if the Guogong Mansion is really involved, it will be a shame."
Ran Qiunian thought that the emperor even asked Qi Ruoyun to investigate the case of iron ore smuggling, which was clearly to let him guard and steal, and the thief shouted to catch the thief, how could he find out something?
"How many people know about your memory?" Before leaving, Xiao Yin suddenly asked.
Ran Qiunian reacted immediately, and hurriedly said: "Except for the ghost doctor's seniors, I only told my grandmother and Ginkgo, I know the stakes, and I have told them not to let them go out, big brother just rest assured." ”
When Xiao Yin heard this, he put his mind at ease: "Except for grandmother and uncle, the less people know about your recovery of memory, the better, with Qi Ruoyun's ruthless methods, if you know that you have recovered your memory, I am afraid that it will lead to endless assassinations." ”
Ran Qiunian nodded, facing Ruoyun's poisonous snake, she had never been lucky.
Although I don't know why this person gave up the assassination after knowing that he had amnesia, and even approached him several times to curry favor, this false friendship, whether it was after her amnesia or now, has never been moved.
Some mistakes, after being made once, are like appendages, which she will never forget.
After telling General Gu about this, Ran Qiunian went back to the house first, Xiao Yin was left behind by General Gu, and the two continued to discuss.
After solving this important matter, Ran Qiunian's whole person relaxed, with Old General Gu and Xiao Yin here, it was enough to deal with the incidents caused by Qi Ruoyun.
After returning to the house, Ran Qiunian sent all the maidservants back, and was silent to the candlestick, sorting out what had happened in these days little by little.
Especially in the days of Yudao, Xiao Yin pretended to be husband and wife with herself, and she forgot everything about the past, so she took Xiao Yin, the only person she could trust, as a lifesaver and clinged to her tightly.
Thinking about it now, Ran Qiunian was a little unclear for a while, whether that vague feeling was due to dependence or from the expectation that she hadn't even noticed in her heart.
That's Xiao Yin! The cold-faced regent who was famous in her previous life was someone she didn't dare to think about anyway. Ran Qiunian patted his hot cheek and sighed softly.
"Ran Qiunian, Ran Qiunian, the comfortable days have been too long, and the courage has become more and more fattening, go to bed early, don't think about it anymore......"
Ran Qiunian shook her head, blushing and forcing herself not to think about those things.
She still has to think about how she will face Xiao Yin after seeing her tomorrow.
Everything that happened today was too hurried, and when he calmed down at this time, Ran Qiunian became a little entangled. Tossing and turning, until the middle of the night, the candlestick in Ran Qiunian's house was always on, and the mixed thoughts in her head also made her unable to sleep.
