Chapter Ninety-Seven: Asking for Help

Ning Xiang replied "yes", and followed Xin Yulan's footsteps to move towards the path little by little.

Xin Yulan obviously hadn't figured out how to speak, and was silent for a while.

The two gradually walked to a secluded place where no one was around, and Xin Yulan took a deep breath and sat on the big stone placed on the side of the road.

"Speaking of which, I'm ashamed to see you in such an capacity." Xin Yulan has a sense of longing for life at the moment, "But these are irrelevant, I just want to tell you, be careful of the eldest lady." ”

"How do you say that?" Ning Xiang pretended to be at a loss, she always felt that Xin Yulan should know something inside to be like this.

Sure enough, seeing that Ning Xiang was not enlightened at all, Xin Yulan was a little anxious, and said the matter on impulse.

"Do you remember Qi Fuzi?" Xin Yulan's eyes were slightly red, "She died, and it was the eldest lady's hand." ”

Qi Ying is dead? This character that can't be beaten with eight poles, how could the eldest lady take her life?

Seeing Ning Xiang's unbelievable appearance, Xin Yulan was even more anxious, she and Qi Ying were both famous women in the capital, and they had a good personal relationship when they were husbands in Jiangfu, she died miserably, but Ning Xiang didn't believe her words.

"I don't know why the eldest lady is like this, when you and Yue'er went to Beijing, we stayed in the house for a while, packed up and left, I was going to travel for a while and then come back, but Qi Ying didn't know who she received, she wanted to stay in Zhuozhou, and found a yard by herself."

Xin Yulan looked a little flustered when he talked about what happened at that time.

"I was so playful that I paid no attention to it, but she left her address, saying that I had nowhere to go on my return, so I went to live with her. But when I came back to look for her, there were only bones lying in the courtyard. ”

Ning Xiang was shocked when she heard this, but she still didn't understand what this matter had to do with the eldest lady.

"Then how did you know that this matter had something to do with the Grand Lady? Moreover, what if the bones are not from Qi Fuzi? Moreover, it hasn't been long since the eldest lady left, so there will be no bones left. ”

Xin Yulan cried bitterly: "At first, I also thought it was strange, the bones were extremely clean, as if they had been shaved off and cleaned. I specially turned around every room, it was all Qi Ying's objects, and there were a lot of blood stains in the inner room, if I didn't go, I was afraid that no one would find it until now. ”

"The neighbors didn't pay attention? Is Qi Fuzi a yard bought? ”

"It's rented, and I paid the rent for five years at a time, and I don't know where I got so much silver." Xin Yulan sobbed.

Ning Xiang stood beside Xin Yulan, gently caressing her thin back, and her thoughts could be described as overturning.

"There's no reason for the eldest lady to kill Qi Fuzi." Ning Xiang still couldn't figure it out.

Xin Yulan said firmly: "Qi Ying said that the key to that courtyard was only given to Ling'er next to me and the eldest lady. ”

"Wouldn't it be murder for money?" Ning Xiang frowned, "Or, for love?" ”

"Impossible!" Xin Yulan trembled his hands and took out three keys from his arms, two of them were clean, and one was slightly scratched, "This key, I found one in Qi Ying's house, I have one in my hand, and another one, I picked it up near the gate!" ”

Ning Xiang pondered for a while, thinking that Mrs. Xu didn't know that Xin Yulan still had a key in her hand, so she would act like this.

"I wanted to escape far away, but who knew that the eldest lady had already known that I had returned to Zhuozhou, and sent someone to the post station to invite me." Xin Yulan began to tremble when he said this, "That beast, that well-dressed beast!" ”

It seemed that he was too resentful about what he thought of, Xin Yulan trembled for a moment and actually clutched his chest and gasped, like a drowning person eager to breathe.

Ning Xiang saw that Xin Yulan had convulsions and fainted, so she hurriedly supported her and pressed her with her right thumb.

"Master? Pedant! Ning Xiang called anxiously and softly, if Xin Yulan fainted here, and the two of them were seen by someone with a heart, then the close relationship between the two of them would definitely be exposed.

Fortunately, Xin Yulan was only excited for a while, and woke up after a while, but the makeup on his face was blurred with tears, and he looked embarrassed.

"If you don't want to think about it, you don't have to say it now." Ning Xiang roughly guessed something, but she didn't need Xin Yulan to explain things in such detail.

But Xin Yulan finally had someone who could complain, how could he be willing not to mention it, so he stabilized his mind, gritted his teeth and said vigorously: "It must be the medicine that the eldest lady gave me and Jiang Zhizhou, she is afraid that I will go out of Zhuozhou, and she is even more afraid that I will find out about Qi Ying." ”

"God forbid, she didn't know that I saw Qi Ying's bones with my own eyes, but she was afraid that if I couldn't find Qi Ying, the matter would be revealed! She might as well kill me and leave me alive, why bother? ”

"Master, don't say that." Ning Xiang understands the pain of a woman's loss of virginity, not to mention that she still faces someone like Jiang Zhizhou after waking up, "It's not your fault, you have to live more, live and take revenge." ”

"I haven't even had a confidant all these years, so how can I talk about revenge?" Xin Yulan covered her face with a handkerchief and cried with a whimper.

Ning Xiang was in a dilemma for a while, on the one hand, Xin Yulan had the grace of knowing her, not to mention that he had spent a lot of effort to teach her a lot of things back then, and he paid more attention to her than Jiang Yueyue, on the other hand, although Qi Ying didn't care much about her, she was also her master, and she couldn't turn a blind eye.

"Don't talk about this to outsiders anymore." Ning Xiang took Xin Yulan's hand, "Have you thought about what will happen next?" ”

"What else can I do? I can only survive for a while. Xin Yulan's eyes were swollen like peaches, and the tears still couldn't stop falling.

Ning Xiang shook his head: "Since you learned that Jiang Zhizhou was poisoned today, you should have a number in your heart, in this mansion, your identity cannot last long." ”

"So what am I going to do?" Xin Yulan was reminded by Ning Xiangyi, and he also sensed that something was wrong.

Although she can't let go of her own life, she wants to seize any glimmer of life.

Ning Xiang raised her eyes, looked at Xin Yulan fixedly, and said, "Be the second Chunying, but don't be too stupid." ”

"What does that mean?" Xin Yulan asked confusedly.

"Surrender to the eldest lady, but don't listen to her in everything, be a puppet, but hold the thread in your own hands." Ning Xiang paused, and then said, "I may not be able to help you much, but you can trust me." ”

I don't know why, Ning Xiang is obviously just a delicate and gentle little girl, but the words she said carried a sense of magic, which made people feel inexplicably relieved.

Xin Yulan nodded subconsciously, not realizing that he had forgotten to shed tears a long time ago, and he looked very weak now.

"Offended."

Ning Xiang saw that Xin Yulan listened to the words, and before she could react, she suddenly squatted down and reached out and slashed Xin Yulan's ankle with a palm.
