Chapter 310: Lan Hou's suspicions
When Lan Hou heard this, he thought of the strange maid who died, and asked, "You mean that he was seriously ill three years ago?" Cheng Jingyun nodded and replied, "Maybe the fake Lan Su had already started to do evil at that time." β
"Then how did you find out that this Lan Su is a fake Lan Su?" Lan Hou then asked Cheng Jingyun. Cheng Jingyun explained like Lan Hou: "Originally, I was very skeptical, because this is not like what Lan Su would do. β
Lan Hou nodded and said, "Although that kid Lan Su is not good at words, he must be an iron-clad person who would rather give in, and I don't believe that he will do those crazy things." β
So I started to investigate him, and I thought that there was something wrong with them, that he had been framed. Later, on the way back to China, I accidentally rescued a man, and their family told me about the fake Lan Su's misdeeds. β
This is Bai Ye has already made tea, poured good tea for Cheng Jingyun, Cheng Jingyun thanked her, felt a little dry mouth, took a sip of tea, and then said: "I naturally don't believe that Brother Lan Su would do such a thing." β
"So you went back to Beijing and told the saint?" Lan Hou looked at Cheng Jingyun and said. Cheng Jingyun put down the teacup and replied, "Yes, and then I took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the border to negotiate peace, for the sake of Lan Su." β
Lan Hou sighed and looked at Cheng Jingyun, of course he knew that Cheng Jingyun could not harm Lan Su, the two had been in love for many years, and Lan Su was still Cheng Jingyun's fiancΓ© now.
Lan Hou then asked, "Then what did you find later?" Cheng Jingyun explained to Lan Hou in detail: "There are too many differences, such as Lan Su is allergic to chestnuts, and this fake Lan Su is not allergic to chestnuts, and I designed a set, he really made it up according to my hints, and pretended to remember it." β
"I see." Lan Hou heard Cheng Jingyun's words and thought thoughtfully. Cheng Jingyun considered that although it was said that this fake Lan Su was doing evil at the border and needed to be handed over to the court to decide, if it was related to a serious illness three years ago, then this was also a family affair of their Lan family.
So, Cheng Jingyun wanted to ask Lan Hou what he meant, and said, "Uncle Lan, after all, this is also your family matter, what is your opinion?" Lan Hou thought about it, and decided to test this Lan Su again, while saying, "I still plan to meet with this Lan Su and test him." β
Cheng Jingyun knew that Lan Hou still had some doubts in her heart, so she agreed to him and said, "Okay, Uncle Lan." Then before Lan Su returns to Beijing, I will find the embassy in advance and arrange for you to meet in private. β
Lan Hou looked at Cheng Jingyun and said, "Thank you Jingyun, you are still as good as when you were a child." Cheng Jingyun got Uncle Lan and remembered Lan Su when she was a child, and she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. is an excellent son of his own, and if he said that there was an accident, he had an accident, and he couldn't accept it for a while.
Lan Hou saw that Cheng Jingyun and Mengxi were wearing night clothes, so he asked, "Why did you two dress up like this in the Lan Mansion?" Why don't you just come in through the gate during the day? β
Cheng Jingyun touched her nose embarrassedly and replied, "Maybe it's because I reported Brother Lan Su's matter last time and was known by the house, so my aunt didn't seem to treat me very well, so the two of us didn't come in through the gate." β
When Lan Hou heard this, he knew that his wife might be a little uncomfortable, and he was a little embarrassed to Cheng Jingyun and said, "Your aunt is an ordinary woman who doesn't know so much, I'll tell her when I get back to the backyard in a while." β
"Auntie also sees that our two families have a deep friendship, so the reaction to this matter is so big, after all, her future daughter-in-law does this, which is always unacceptable." Cheng Jingyun did not complain about the Li family, because this is all human nature.
Lan Hou saw that it was late at night, so he wanted to stay overnight with Cheng Jingyun and said: "Jingyun, you and this girl will stay in Lanfu, and it is not very safe to go home late at night." β
"No, Uncle Lan, the two of us will go back in a while, otherwise our parents will be in a hurry." Cheng Jingyun politely declined Lan Hou's invitation, and then said: "At that moment, we will go back from the back door, and go out from the main gate, if some people with a heart see it, it will not be good." β
Lan Hou thought about it, understood what Cheng Jingyun meant, and said, "Then pay attention to safety when you two go back, and your uncle won't force you to stay." β
Cheng Jingyun and Mengxi nodded, and returned to Cheng's mansion through the back door.
Lan Hou sat in the study and was quiet for a while. In fact, he still can't believe that his son has died, and the person who does evil at the border is a fake Lan Su, but on the one hand, he is very glad that she would rather her son die than be such a collaborator and traitor, robbing the people's daughters, and scraping the people's beasts.
Lan Hou turned off the lights in the study, but decided to go back to the backyard and tell his wife Li about it. Lan Hou returned to his wife's bedroom and found that his wife had fallen asleep, and quietly entered his wife's room without informing.
When he arrived at the bedside, Lan Hou found that his wife was not asleep, because her breathing was not shallow and regular like when she was sleeping, and he seemed to vaguely hear his wife's sigh, so he asked softly, "Haven't you slept yet?" β
Li Shi turned his head and found that Lan Hou had returned, so he asked, "Didn't you say that you need to deal with a lot of affairs in the barracks today, and you won't go back to your room?" Lan Hou didn't answer her question, but said, "I have something I want to tell you." β
Li Shi seemed to suddenly remember something, so he said, "I have something I want to tell you. Li leaned into the bed, and Lan Hou sat on the bed and replied, "It's okay, you can talk first." Li sighed and then said, "Cheng Jingyun, that girl came to the house today." β
"When?" Lan Hou asked. Li Shi thought for a moment and said, "It was when I came back from sending incense and praying for blessings." Of course, I saw that she was angry, so I didn't let her in, and I don't know if there was anything important about the girl. β
Lan Hou put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said, "Okay, don't worry, I've already seen that girl." Li Shi was a little surprised, looked at Lan Hou's face and asked, "When did you see her?" Does her coming here have something to do with me? β
"Yes, she didn't come in through the gate in the afternoon, so she wanted to come in over the wall at night, but was discovered by the guards." Li Shi asked anxiously: "I'm not asking this, I'm asking if she has something to do with Lan Su?" β
