"Miss Lu is here to play in Lanzhou City, right? My brother has been away from the city for many years, I'm afraid he can't be hospitable, if there is anything you want to go to tell me, I can stay here for more than half a month, I guess I can catch up with your farewell feast. ”

Yan Xin pretended to be polite, this statement is the ultimate goal of testing Lu Mang, if she has any plans, Yan Xin should prepare early.

But before Lu Mang could speak, Liu Yichen took over the conversation: "Also, the court only gave me a month to pack up, and Lu Mang and I probably can't stay for too long." ”

"Are you going to Xunyang together?" Yan Xin asked the question without thinking.

Her straightforwardness did not make Liu Yichen suspicious, but felt that Yanxin cared about their schedule.

"Yes, Lu Mang offended the big man in the Chu State, I'm afraid he won't be able to go back. So I could only take her to Xunyang with me, and it happened that there was a lack of someone to take care of my daily life. ”

The person who takes care of the daily life, the elder brother used to not even want a maid by his side, and now he actually asks Lu Mang to take care of the daily life, does this mean that he is ready to admit her into the door?

Hearing this, Yan Xin couldn't help but look Lu Mang up and down again, this woman has bright eyes and bright teeth, and she looks well-behaved and obedient, but it is needless to say than those beauties who have captivated the country and the city.

Besides, just by being well-behaved and obedient, the noble girls of Lanzhou City grabbed a lot of them, so why did they choose a woman from Chu State?

Seeing Yan Xin staring at herself suspiciously, Lu Mang basically guessed her thoughts, lowered his head and said: "I have known Ah Chen for half a year, the situation at the border is tense, he is the only person I can rely on, and the natural relationship is close." ”

"I see, it seems that Miss Lu must have something special, otherwise a person like my brother who is not close to women will definitely not be close to you, and Yanxin really has to study hard."

Seeing her say this, Yanxin didn't hide her suspicions even more, but Liu Yichen was by her side, and she didn't want to take out her calculating heart, nor did she want to hit her brother's rare enthusiasm.

"Miss Lu, come and take a look, the soup in your pot, the cooks don't dare to move."

Finally, a little maid poked her head out behind the screen and called Lu Mang to go to the back kitchen to have a look, which happened to break the long-lasting embarrassment for Yanxin.

"Okay, I'll do it now." Lu Mang hurriedly agreed, and handed the time to the two of them: "You brothers and sisters talk first, I have to hurry up and see my mixed fresh vegetarian soup." ”

After that, she ran lightly with the maid to the back kitchen, judging from her movements and demeanor, there was no slightest, and she didn't look like a person with bad intentions.

But the more this happens, the more suspicious it becomes, but in the Liu family, under the nose of his father, there is no restraint at all, but it is smooth sailing with everyone in the house, this woman's scheming is not simpler than Liu Tang'er.

Thinking of Liu Tang'er, she happened to ask Liu Yichen about what happened before.

"Does my brother know about Liu Tang'er's disappearance?"

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, she went straight to the point, everyone knew that Liu Tang'er had designed to kill Ning Shuying before, and she was not afraid that her brother would have any misunderstanding.

In fact, Liu Yichen had already gotten the news, and he also secretly sent his own soldiers to make an unannounced visit, but the surrounding neighbors and the people in the state pastoral mansion all spoke the same tone, saying that they disappeared suddenly, and the teams out of the city were strictly checked, and there was nothing suspicious.

"I had seen her from afar since I came back before, and the torture she had suffered these days was visible to the naked eye, and the scars on her face were scabbed but also hateful, and I am afraid that she will not be able to recover for the rest of her life. Besides, she lives in the ridicule and torture of beggars and scoundrels every day, and she can survive until now. ”

The day after he returned, after sorting out everything, he took a private look at Liu Tang'er, and the woman was indeed as miserable as he said.

But when it comes to sympathizing with people, he can only think of what Yanxin experienced when he was away, her sister is by no means a vicious person, and Liu Tang'er must be to blame for this fate.

"And my cronies have investigated for a long time and haven't found any problems, so I think maybe King Pingnan secretly took action?"

Lanzhou City is so big, it has the ability to hide people in the Liu family's sphere of influence, and the only one who has this need is the Pingnan Palace.

Liu Yichen's words also have some truth, but when it comes to Yanxin's understanding of King Pingnan, why does he have to go to such great lengths, isn't Yanxin's practice on the day to send people to him to deal with?

"It shouldn't be possible, if he wants to make a move, how can he wait until today and solve it secretly?"

Yan Xin pursed his lips, and his sad face was imprinted in Liu Yichen's heart, and he immediately comforted him, not wanting this matter to continue to affect his sister's mood.

"You don't have to worry, I will continue to let people investigate, anyway, she is just a helpless murderer, even if she escapes, it will not help, she will definitely either starve to death or freeze to death."

At this time, there was movement at the door again, Liu Yichen looked sideways, and said to Yanxin: "I'm afraid my father is back, I'll go to the door to take a look, and tell him the news of your return by the way." Seeing that you are dressed so thinly, go change your clothes and get ready for lunch. ”

"Okay."

She didn t refuse her brother, and walked back to her yard quickly, after all, the time for her brother to come back was still short, and there were some things that he might not be able to see, and she still needed to ask the people who had been in the house.

She walked to the backyard, and all the maids bowed their heads to her to say hello all the way, and there was envy in their eyes. Today, she finally truly understands the rights and status that the eldest lady of the Liu family should have.

Originally, the place where she lived was still empty, and when Liu Tang'er left, no one dared to touch her things, and she couldn't help but feel funny for her extra worries.

From the outside of the fence, it seems that someone is constantly helping to clean it, and the branches of the evergreens in the yard are trimmed in layers, and not a single branch dares to cross the wall.

The people inside probably heard the footsteps and rushed out.

"Miss, you're finally back!"

Jing'er still hasn't changed at all from her original appearance, the only difference is that she wears more clothes when it's cold, and she looks bloated when she walks.

"It's only been less than two months, and I have a lot of questions for you." Seeing the intimate maid, Yan Xin finally smiled.

"Why didn't Sister Luan'er come back together?"

Jing'er's little head kept looking behind her, and it took a long time before she asked a word.

That's right, she didn't mention Bai Luan'er's matter to others, so Jing'er didn't know that they had long been separated.

"She is not from our house, so she naturally has a place to go, but you don't have to worry about her, her talent and virtue are obvious to all, and she will definitely not suffer."

Jing'er nodded and followed her to the courtyard: "Miss is right, you have been there for two months, and Jing'er has no meaning in the mansion at all." ”

The furnishings in the yard were still arranged in the way she was used to. It's just that someone in the yard seems to have brought a few new pieces of gold charcoal, and the people in the courtyard are the most aware of the wind and rudder, and she has just come back for less than half a day, and all the supplies are readily available.

Yan Xin raised the corners of his mouth disappreciatively, "What's interesting and boring, didn't I ask you and Axis Qing to help me take care of the forests outside the city, I see that you are lazy." ”

"This slave doesn't dare to forget, Axis Qing has even more stamina with your support, and now it is improving."

In the eyes of others, this back and forth is about the shortcomings of the parents between the master and the servant, and there should have been such a cheerful greeting after not seeing each other for many days.

"I have no evidence, but I have to check the ledger." Yan Xin stepped into his room and deliberately glanced around before sitting down reassuringly.

"I've been ready for you for a long time!"

Jing'er closed the door in response, and then went around to Yanxin to wait for the dispatch. If you don't say that she is clever, she can understand what she thinks and thinks without having to say it thoroughly.

"Tell me, what happened when I wasn't there?"

Yan Xin looked at his room, and a sense of intimacy returned, although the relationship with Su and the others was not good before, but it was always under his control, so it was comfortable to live at home, unlike sleeping in the cabin outside for a while in the lake later.

"Liu Tang'er's incident is really strange, Zhou Qing asked several beggars who had bullied her before, and they all said that she never dared to show any fierce appearance when she was beaten and scolded on weekdays, and gradually everyone got used to it, but soon after, she suddenly disappeared, and no one saw it!"

Jing'er knew what Yanxin was most concerned about, so she picked the most critical one and said, in order to let Yanxin better find the key, she also helped eliminate irrelevant people.

"And Su Xiaoniang is in the house every day, and she has been listening to your words for half a step and dare not leave the house, and it is probably impossible to say that she ordered someone to answer it."

"Since everyone says so, there must be someone to help." ”

"What then?" As soon as Jing'er heard that she still had helpers, she began to get anxious for no reason.

If Liu Tang'er really ran away from the wilderness, then she would just survive in her life, living with pain, which was tantamount to another kind of torture for her. If she wants to make a comeback, and looking for Yanxin to seek revenge is to send it to the door herself, then she will wait for Yanxin to deal with Qin Xuanlang before killing her.

"Don't move, if she really has the ability, she will definitely come back to me."

Jing'er didn't mention that incident again, and said in a brisk tone: "Then except for the eldest young master returning home, I'm afraid the rest will be nothing, after all, it's only been two months." ”

"So, what about Lu Mang?"

Yan Xin saw that she didn't talk about Lu Mang, and couldn't help but feel strange, it was indeed a happy event for her brother to go home, wouldn't it be strange to follow Lu Mang back? Or is she clever enough to fit in?

"Miss Lu? It's a very good person to get along with.,Usually people often ask about your previous affairs.,It seems that you care about the eldest young master very much.。 ”

Left and right Luan'er thought about it for a long time, but she didn't think of anything suspicious about this road, and she didn't think that she was any threat to her master.

"Oh? She's so kind, I'm sure she'll come and ask me personally. ”

As soon as the words fell, there were voices in the courtyard.

"Miss, Miss Lu is here to invite you to dinner."

When it was too late, the person who was discussing it came to the door to ask for advice.

Yanxin glanced at Luan'er, intending to make her optimistic about what this woman's plans were.

"Please let her in."
