There were many people coming and going in the busy building, and it was quite noisy, Cheng Xiaoxiao avoided the place where Ji Erlan was sitting, went to the private room on the second floor, and pushed open the window to look down. Seeing that Ji Erlan was dressed as a son, sitting with two young men of the same age, she stared at it for a moment, and said to the girl next to her: "Yuan Rui, you are face-to-face, presumably Ji Erlan doesn't recognize you, you go down and take a look to see if you can hear anything." ”

Yuan Rui was reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to bite the bullet and do it carefully.

This Ji Erlan was amused by Ao Rui's words: "Compassion? Can compassion help you avenge others? Can compassion make you grow your brains and skills to fight for others? ”

Ao Rui choked and had nothing to say.

In fact, Ji Erlan doesn't really blame them for being nosy, these two people can still have a passion and sincerity to help others in this ugly world, which is naturally good. Ji Erlan was angry that they were too reckless, and in a place like the capital, every word and deed involved a lot. If you are not careful, you may not be able to help others, but you will catch yourself.

"Have you checked beforehand, who is the Liu family?"

"Sister, are you willing to help?" As soon as Ji Yun heard her question, he hurriedly kicked Ao Rui to cheer him up. Ji Erlan glanced at him, waiting for him to continue. Ji Yun hurriedly said, "Do you remember Liu Shoubei of Yangcheng?" ”

"Liu Shoubei?" Ji Erlan raised her eyebrows, of course she remembered, Liu Ling, the eldest girl of the Liu family, the account between them has not been settled yet.

"Exactly!" As soon as Ji Yun heard that Ji Erlan knew, he immediately came to his senses: "The family surnamed Liu who died with his son is Lord Liu, the deputy imperial envoy of the capital, and Liu Shoubei of Heyang City is his uncle and nephew. ”

Ji Erlan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect it to be really his family, it was really a narrow road.

If Ji Chenglin had not been transferred to Dali Temple and was still serving in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this Deputy Imperial Envoy Liu would be Ji Chenglin's direct boss. In the previous life, when the Qin family was left in Yangcheng and died of a serious illness, it happened that Liu Ling had already mourned his short-lived husband Jun for three years, and under the influence of the interests of all parties, Liu Ling made Ji Chenglin a steproom.

Ji Erlan couldn't help but sigh karma, in his previous life, he suffered a lot at the hands of the Liu family, but this time, they took the initiative to hit the door to pay off the debt! She really has to take care of this. "Do you know the inside story?"

"The rumors in the market are not the same, like what the two people said, there are also exaggerations." Ji Yun lowered his voice slightly and said: "The one who died is the old son of Lord Liu, although he is a concubine, but because he is a son, he is very favored." It's a pity that this person has not been in good health since he was a child, and his biological mother was worried that her son would die and that she would lose her support in the Liu family, so she tried her best to treat her son. No, seeing that his son was no longer good, he hurriedly found a family that was easy to handle, and let the little lady marry Chongxi, who would have thought that when he worshiped the high hall, he fell down and never got up......"

Ji Erlan was speechless for a long time and asked, "Did you die when you worshipped?" ”

"Yes! Then the aunt who died her son went crazy, saying that her son was killed by the Li family's mother, and asked her to be buried with her. Ji Yun sighed: "The little lady of the Li family was frightened, crying endlessly, and was locked up by the Liu family." Her brother, named Li Chaosheng, came to the Liu family to ask for someone, and the Liu family was in a mess, so he didn't have time to talk to him about it. The two sides did not back down from each other, so they fought, Li Chaosheng was alone, he was beaten unconscious, that night, the firewood room caught fire, and the little lady of the Li family was burned alive. ”

After listening to him, Ji Erlan took his words and said, "The people of the Liu family must have bitten to death by accident, right?" ”

"That's right, in fact, it is indeed impossible to prove that the Liu family did it on purpose. Li Chaosheng was unwilling and wanted to seek justice for his sister, but the Liu family seemed to be afraid that the rumors would become more and more fierce, so they arrested Li Chaosheng. ”

"So, do you want to save Li Chaosheng today? And then someone found out? ”

Ao Rui turned his head to look away embarrassedly, Ji Yun smiled cheekily: "It's not that the two of us are trying our best to avenge others, we just want to rescue Li Chaosheng and persuade him to go as far as he can, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and he won't worry about running out of firewood!" ”

Ji Erlan rolled her eyes at the two: "You don't have to worry about this matter, leave it to me." ”

Ji Yun and Ao Rui glanced at each other and asked, "Sister, what are you going to do, are you ...... Don't mess around! They knew that they were pounds and two, but they couldn't bear to watch Li Chaosheng also get in and make a modest effort. But if Ji Erlan makes a move, he doesn't know what he can do.

"Don't worry, I have my own plans." Ji Erlan stood up and motioned for them to do what they should do, and he left the building and went back to the house.

As soon as Ji Erlan walked on her front foot, Cheng Xiaoxiao walked out of the private room on the second floor. "Yuan Rui, did you hear anything when you went downstairs and passed by them just now?"

Yuan Rui said: "The slave maid listened to a few words, and it seemed that she was talking about the affairs of the Liu family, the deputy imperial envoy. Miss Ji Er seemed to be accusing the other party of being nosy. ”

"Oh?" Cheng Xiaoxiao showed a look of interest: "That is Ji Erlan's brother?" It seems that he is still warm-hearted. ”

Yuan Rui looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao's raised eyebrows with some trepidation, and persuaded: "Girl, let's hurry back to the house, there are too many people here, if someone doesn't have long eyes and collides with the girl, Mrs. will be angry." ”

Cheng Xiaoxiao said 'um', and suddenly said: "You tell someone to inform Ji Tianjiao, if Ji Erlan has any unusual movements, tell her to come and tell me quickly!" ”

Yuan Rui breathed a sigh of relief and responded, "Yes, girl." ”

The dark clouds overhead are gathering towards the east, I am afraid that a heavy rain will soon fall, Ji Erlan glanced at the sky through the curtain of the car, but the moment he retracted his gaze, he saw a familiar and unfamiliar figure standing in front of the second-floor window of a wine store in front of him. The man's gaze was particularly clear under the dark black clouds, and it was he who looked at her.

Twilight leaned over to take a look, and hurriedly retracted her head again. whispered: "Girl, isn't that the prince of Du?" ”

Ji Erlan looked at the emotionless face of the man above his head, and as soon as his fingers loosened, the curtain of the car fell, blocking the sight of the two. "Hmph, the ghost is not gone."

The corners of Twilight's eyes twitched: "Girl, I'm afraid it's not right for you to treat the prince like this?" ”

"Really?" Ji Erlan said innocently: "I'm not familiar with him!" ”

Twilight and Twilight glanced at each other helplessly, and it was clearly written in their eyes: Why do unfamiliar people want you to report your whereabouts every day?!

Ji Erlan returned to the mansion, bathed and changed clothes leisurely, and used a few snacks before planning to take a look at the Qin family. Whether she is in a hurry or not, she can't let others see what she thinks.

In the main courtyard, the Qin family leaned under the porch, looking at the rows of ants at the roots of the grass, and they were moving to a higher place in a hurry, as if they wanted to escape to a safe place before the heavy rain came.

"Auntie?" Ji Erlan called, but the Qin clan didn't hear it at all. Even Ah Tan came to salute her, but the Qin family didn't notice it. She couldn't help but feel strange in her heart, reached out and touched Qin's arm, and called again: "A-Niang? ”

Qin's body trembled, and he turned his head suddenly, obviously startled, and only when he saw the person who came clearly did he slowly relax: "Erlan...... You're back. ”

Ji Erlan caught the uneasiness in her eyes, thought about it, and gave Ah Tan a look. Ah Tan understood and sent all the irrelevant little girls elsewhere. He took the twilight leaves to guard under the porch.

Ji Erlan helped the Qin family back to the house, there was no one else around, she asked in a gentle tone as much as possible, "Auntie?" Do you have something to say to Erlan? ”

"I ......" Qin lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he looked up at Ji Erlan with a very reluctant smile. Er Lan is too careful, what does A-Niang have to say. ”

She is not good at hiding what she thinks in her heart at all, how could Ji Erlan not see her strangeness: "A-Niang, let's get along day and night, are you okay, how can Erlan not see it?" Not only me, but also my father, as well as my big sister, must be able to see Auntie's abnormality. ”

Ji Tianjiao will not stop there in the morning, since she is suspicious, she will do everything to provoke trouble in front of Ji Chenglin. Although Ji Chenglin won't believe it for a while, there are many rumors, and after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be no doubts. What's more, wasn't he thinking about how to get rid of the Qin clan? If he had caught the grip, he would not have missed this opportunity.

Qin's lips trembled, and the change in his expression made Ji Erlan's heart sink.

"A-Niang, we are the closest people, if you have something, Er Lan will definitely try her best to help you tide over the difficulties. But if you don't make it clear to Er Lan, but let others find out first, it will only catch us off guard, and it will be too late to figure out a way. "Ji Erlan has already determined that the Qin clan does have something to hide, but she doesn't think that anything can be solved by evasion." Ah Niang, you just need to make things clear, and Erlan will figure out the rest. Er Lan will definitely not let Zai Niang suffer. ”

Qin's eyes gradually turned red, she grabbed Ji Erlan's arm and choked up: "Erlan! A-Niang is not worried about herself, A-Niang is worried about you! ”

Ji Erlan was stunned for a moment, but still said calmly: "Ah Niang, although she said it truthfully. ”

"Erlan......" Qin grabbed Ji Erlan's hands and trembled a little, her voice was extremely low, so low that she almost couldn't hear herself: "Erlan, you...... Not my own daughter......"

It was like an empowerment thunderbolt that came to an abrupt end, and Ji Erlan barely reacted. "What?"

She was even ready to hear the Qin family say that she was not Ji Chenglin's daughter, or, to hear the Qin family say that her father was the noble person who gave the lotus hairpin. What I didn't expect was that what Qin said was actually ...... Herself is not her daughter? Ji Erlan was completely stunned: "A-Niang...... What do you mean by that? ”
