Chapter 63: The Biggest Secret

An Ran and Nan Lingye came to a remote residence, and there were still a few dead soldiers of Nan Lingye guarding it, and when they saw An Ran and Nan Lingye coming in, they respectfully called: "Your Highness, eldest lady." ā€

The courtyard was very spacious, and after entering the room, I saw Lin Yu lying quietly on the bed, not breathing, and there was an obvious strangulation mark on her neck.

"What's going on?" An Ran glanced at Linyu, then looked away, not wanting to look at it again. Linyu is a hard-working woman, they jumped off the cliff that day, although they picked up a life, but the fetus in Linyu's womb was lost. I thought she would break down and cry, but Linyu was unusually calm, she didn't cry, she didn't have any expression, she obeyed her arrangement and let her live in this remote place, no one knew, Nan Lingye also sent a dead soldier to protect her safety. Since Linyu lived here, she has been like a nobody, eating when she should eat and sleeping when she should sleep. But she knew that Linyu was just hiding her sadness.

Since escaping death in the cliff, An Ran has only come to see her once because she is busy with things, if she can come often and talk to her, is Linyu not dead.

"Last night, Miss Linyu, as usual, went to bed early after dinner. She usually went to bed very early in the room, so we didn't think anything out of the ordinary. I didn't find any movement in the room at night, and I knew that this morning, the maidservant who was waiting for Miss Linyu found that she didn't get up very late, and felt that something was wrong, so she told us, and we were afraid that something would happen, so we rushed into Miss Linyu's room, and found that she and she had committed suicide by hanging from the beam. A dead man said ashamedly, and then knelt down on one knee, "Subordinates should die, they didn't protect Miss Linyu, please punish Your Highness and the eldest lady." ā€

An Ran closed her eyes and did not answer. Nan Lingye said, "Get up." ā€

"Linyu is dead, and all plans are useless. Nan Lingye looked at An Ran.

After a long time, An Ran slowly opened her phoenix eyes, looked at Nan Lingye's blue eyes, and asked rhetorically, "Ye Lang, do you think Linyu committed suicide?"

Nan Lingye raised her eyebrows, and An Ran continued, "If you want to commit suicide, how could Linyu wait until this time? And Linyu is not a weak woman. ā€

"Then, according to what you said, he killed him?"

"If it was a suicide due to a hanging beam, how could there be no movement at all. An Ran's eyes flashed slightly, and then he stepped forward and looked at Linyu's corpse carefully.

"She's poisoned!" Nan Lingye said suddenly.

An Ran looked at him with a shocked look, "Ye Lang, what did you say?"

"At first, I received the message, and I didn't look closely, so I went back and told you. Looking at her symptoms now, it is not suicide, but poisoning, and the strangulation marks on her neck are added after death. Nan Lingye looked at Lin Yu and analyzed.

An Ran half-narrowed her eyes, "But her symptoms can't be seen as poisoning." Looking at Linyu's appearance, there was no sign of poisoning, there was only a strangulation mark on her body, it looked like she was strangled by a rope, she suspected that he killed her, but she didn't think it was poisoning.

But here comes the problem again, if it is poisoned, then the question is, how did she get poisoned? This place is very remote, it is difficult for outsiders to find it, except for a few dead soldiers to protect Lin Yu's safety, there is only one servant girl left......

Both of them thought of something, looked at each other, and knew it in their hearts.

"Go and bring the maidservant who is serving Linyu, I have something to ask her. An Ran ordered one of the dead soldiers.

Soon, the maidservant girl was brought over, and when she saw An Ran and Nan Lingye, she first saluted respectfully, looking frightened and cowering.

"You are the maidservant who served Linyu, and now she has an accident, what do you say?" An Ran's phoenix eyes stared at her, not letting go of the slightest expression on her face.

"Noble girl, I—I don't know, when I get up in the morning, I still have to serve the girl as usual, but no one answers after calling the door for a long time. I was thinking, maybe the girl was tired and wanted to sleep a little longer, so I would go and get busy first. An hour later, when I came to call the girl, but there was still no answer, I, and I panicked, and quickly told the guards. And after that, after that you came. The maidservant said tremblingly, her eyes full of fear.

"Listening to your accent, aren't you from Fengdu?" An Ran suddenly asked.

The maid was also stunned at first, but after reacting, she replied: "Back to the noble girl, the slave maid is a person from Zuoling." ā€

An Ran nodded slowly, the sandalwood fan in his hand tapped his palm, and he looked thoughtful, "It turned out to be a person from Zuoling, no wonder." ā€

"Lady, do you suspect that the slave and maid killed the girl?" asked the maid in horror.

An Ran squinted at her and said with a smile: "Did I say so? Okay, you go down first, I'll call you in again if there's something." ā€

The maidservant raised her eyes and quietly glanced at An Ran, almost met her eyes, and hurriedly opened her eyes and retreated.

An Ran motioned with his eyes to a dead man to monitor the servant girl, and after the servant girl went down, Nan Ling Ye spoke: "She is very suspicious. ā€

An Ran smiled, looked at Nan Ling Ye, and said, "Ah Ran and Ye Lang have the same thoughts, and besides, she lied just now. ā€

Nan Lingye raised her eyebrows and looked at An Ran in confusion, motioning for her to continue.

Gently opening the sandalwood fan, An Ran stroked the picture on the fan, then closed it, raised her phoenix eyes slightly, and said unhurriedly: "She is a Huayin person!"

"You mean......" Nan Lingye didn't say it, but An Ran already knew what he was going to say, and shrugged his shoulders undeniably.

"Ah Ran, this is a drama that wants to be captured. Nan Lingye's thin lips hooked slightly, revealing a faint smile, thinking of something, and asked: "Lin Yu is dead, what are Ah Ran's plans next?" You must know that among all our plans, Lin Yu is the most critical person. ā€

Even if Nan Lingye didn't say it, An Ran knew it, but now that Linyu is dead, this is a fact that no one can change, so he can only think about how to remedy it.

Turning her eyes to look at Linyu on the bed, for a long time, a plan suddenly appeared in An Ran's mind, she turned to Nan Lingye and said, "Ye Lang only needs to do me a favor, we can still do the same things at the birthday banquet." ā€

looked at Lin Yu, and then looked at An Ran's calculating appearance, Nan Lingye seemed to understand something, and without waiting for An Ran to speak, he opened his mouth and said: "This king understands what you mean, you can do it." ā€

Nan Lingye and her have a heart-to-heart connection, and there is no need to say anything, the two have a tacit understanding.

An Ran looked back at Linyu again, and silently thought in her heart: Linyu, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you and the child in your womb, and I will never let go of all people.

Nan Lingye did not come back with An Ran, but went to do something first, An Ran went back to the house by himself, and when he returned to An's house, it was already night, and An Ran did not go to Laiyin Pavilion again, but went back to Qinhuang Courtyard directly.

As soon as she stepped into the room in the Qifeng Building, Xing'er came over, and as soon as she saw An Ran sitting in front of the rhombic mirror, she stepped forward and asked, "The eldest lady is back, do you need a slave to bring in at night?"

Just in the evening, the mistress sent someone to invite the eldest lady over for dinner, but when she heard that the eldest lady had gone out, she gave up.

"No need, let's be later, when Yelang comes back, let's eat together. An Ran replied a little tiredly.

"Yes, Miss. Xing'er smiled in her eyes, happy with the previous relationship between An Ran and Nan Lingye, "By the way, eldest miss, the fourth prince came to you just now, and when I heard that you were there, I didn't stay long, so I left." ā€

An Ran raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "What is he doing here to find me?"

Xing'er shook her head, "I didn't say anything, I just came to see if you were there, and as soon as I heard that you were out, he also left, and he didn't have anything to tell you." ā€

An Ran thought for a while, and then smiled with a smile on her lips, An Qing, are you a thief? I was afraid that something would happen to me, so I came to inquire about my whereabouts. Looks like it's really you.

"Ignore him, if something really comes to me, he will naturally come again, and I don't know. By the way, where did Zhong Yi go?" As soon as he came back, he didn't see Zhong Yi, so An Ran asked Xing'er.

"Sister Zhong Yi went to Laiyin Pavilion, and the main mother invited Aunt Yun to come over, saying that she wanted Sister Zhong Yi to come over. I went before dinner and haven't come back yet. Xing'er said truthfully.

"Maybe stay at Mother's for dinner. "Sister Zhong Yi is the most trusted person by my mother, and there must be a lot of business affairs for my mother to explain," when she comes back later, let her rest early, and then tell her that after breakfast tomorrow, she will come to my room, and I have something to look for her. ā€

"Yes, the slave knows. ā€

"You go down first, and I'll call you if there's something to do." An Ran let Xing'er go down first, she needed to be quiet.

The next day, Zhong Yi followed An Ran's instructions and went to her room after breakfast.

"What do you have to say to the eldest lady?" Zhong Yi was respectful to An Ran, in fact, these were all because of Lin Yin, as early as when Lin Yin decided to teach her about business and give Feng Cuixuan to An Ran, Zhong Yi knew that An Ran was the helmsman of the Lin family's firm in the future.

"Sister Zhong Yi doesn't have to be polite. An Ran smiled, "That's the case, I want to go to Feng Cuixuan to have a look, I don't know if Sister Zhong Yi is willing to go with An Ran?"

"Of course, Miss, please. Zhong Yi replied without the slightest hesitation. It was as if he had known that she wanted her to take him to Feng Cuixuan.

An Ran looked at Zhong Yi and heard her answer, although she was surprised, she didn't ask too much, and went out with Zhong Yi.

But what An Ran didn't know was that in fact, Lin Yin said yesterday that if the eldest lady wanted to go to see the business, then accompany the eldest lady and ask her to tell An Ran Feng Cuixuan's biggest secret.
