The light shredded the light and shadow on Ah Tan's face, making the girl's expression slightly messy, she raised her head slightly, looked at Gongsun Lan sitting above, and said: "Before the third master took his aunt and grandmother back to Yasukuni, he found the whereabouts of the young lady, but he didn't tell anyone that the young lady was still alive. It wasn't until a few years ago that the third master found out that someone was secretly inquiring about the whereabouts of the young lady, so he sent the slave maid to Da'an and entered the Ji Mansion. Only the third master knows about this matter, and the slave's family members are also working under the third master. ”

"Someone is looking into my whereabouts? Could it be the Song family? No, Mrs. Song didn't know about my existence at all. ”

"The slave doesn't know, but the third master shouldn't have found the Song family. The matter of the eldest aunt and grandmother is only known to a few powerful families, and among these families, there is no need for anyone to pay attention to the Song family, nor will they casually offend the Gongsun family by privately spreading this matter. Therefore, with the power of the Song family, even the eldest aunt and grandmother cannot know. What can make the third master feel a sense of crisis will definitely not be the Song family. ”

"It's not the Song family......" Gongsun Lan was a little puzzled, could it be that anyone else cared about this? Could it be the first group of people who want to exterminate their mother and daughter after the nunnery? After Gongsun Jingxiu arrived, he killed them without saying a word, did he know who they were...... "So have you been in contact with the third master over the years?" ”

Ah Tan said: "The third master told the slaves and maids that unless life and death are involved, they must not have any connection with Yasukuni. Therefore, the slave maid only contacted the informant in Yasukuni once, that is, when the young lady was broken by the eldest girl and her life was on the verge of death. ”

Gongsun Lan raised her eyebrows and asked, "How did the third master reply at that time?" ”

Ah Tan hesitated for a moment and said: "The third master only said that with such a temperament, living is no different from dying, so it's up to her to go......"

Gongsun Lan laughed angrily, this Gongsun Jingxiu, although his subordinates showed mercy to him and let him live, he didn't give her any help, he simply let her fend for herself, and it seemed that he had done his best to kill her. It's just that someone later inquired about the events of that year. Gongsun Jingxiu was afraid that she would cause trouble to the Gongsun family, so he sent Ah Tan to monitor the personnel around her.

Seeing that her expression didn't seem to mean to be angry, Ah Tan said: "Later, the young lady woke up from her injury, her temperament changed greatly, and the situation of the Ji family also changed. ”

If Gongsun Lan died, she would be useless, and it would be strange not to be silenced when she knew such a top-secret thing as the Gongsun family. Moreover, her family is working under the third master, she has to be obedient, if she has the slightest movement, her family will suffer.

"Then later, my life experience surfaced, presumably the third master took the initiative to contact you?"

"That's right, after the young lady arrived in Beijing, she came to prominence, attracted attention, and her life experience gradually surfaced, the third master planned to directly send someone to take your life at the beginning, but the fifth master felt that it was inappropriate, and decided to sneak into Da'an in person to see what the situation was, but after the fifth master came, he changed his mind, and then the Gongsun family began to pay close attention to Miss's every move."

The fifth master is Gongsun Xian, when Gongsun Lan and him first met, the other party had already made it clear that he was here to kill her, but later changed his mind.

Gongsun Lan was silent for a moment and said, "So, since the Gongsun family had promised his mother, why did he regret it later?" ”

Ah Tan was a little hesitant, but finally said: "The eldest aunt and grandmother suddenly became pregnant, and the old lady was angry and wanted to beat her and Song Sanye to death, but after all, she was her eldest daughter, and it was a stalemate for a long time, seeing that the eldest aunt's belly was getting bigger and bigger, the old lady had to agree to let Song Sanye into the family." The whole process of this incident, the old lady did not know about the recuperation in Beizhuang, but when the eldest aunt and grandmother left Yasukuni to go to Da'an, I don't know who leaked the news, and the old lady was angry for a while, so he ...... Never got it back......"

Gongsun Lan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. No wonder Gongsun Wanzhen obediently returned to Gongsun's house after Song Zhan's death, and also obeyed the family arrangement to fulfill the family affairs with the Mu family......

Ah Tan said: "This is tantamount to killing his father's revenge, the eldest lord was angry, so he asked the third master to lead people to chase the eldest aunt and grandmother's team, saying that it was necessary to kill Song Zhan and bring the eldest aunt and grandmother back." By the time the old lady knew, everything was a foregone conclusion...... The eldest aunt and grandmother killed their father, and since then they have not been able to raise their heads in the Gongsun family. Later, when he married into the Mu family, he never disobeyed the orders of the old lady and the eldest master. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded silently, and had mixed tastes for a while. With so many grievances and grievances, it is impossible to tell who is right and who is wrong. Moreover, the ending of her previous life did not have much to do with them, so she did not have much hatred for the Gongsun family. But what still puzzled her was, what role did Yan Hong play in these things?

How did he know his identity and try to let Tang Nian replace him?

"Atan, after you returned to Yasukuni, have you seen your family?"

Ah Tan shook his head lightly and said, "The slave maid is destined to not be able to return to the Gongsun Mansion as a person under the hands of the third master, and the slave and maid will not be able to recognize their families in this life." ”

Gongsun Lan was a little stunned for a while, but she could understand it when she thought about it, she sighed lightly and said, "Atan, what are you going to do?" ”

Ah Tan touched his forehead to the ground and said slowly: "Although the slave maid was sent by the third master to spy on the young lady, the third master has never let the slave and maid harm the young lady, and the slave and the maid themselves have never done anything to harm the young lady. The slave maid thinks that she is the slave of the young lady, and she is willing to follow the young lady for the rest of her life...... The young lady is kind-hearted and treats the people around her like family, and the slave maid also covets such a warm and sheltering place, begging the young lady not to drive the slave and maid away. ”

Gongsun Lan's heart was a little sour, how could she not know what kind of person Ah Tan was, they had already had two lives. In her previous life, Ah Tan didn't tell her about her life experience, because she knew that her life experience couldn't save her, and it might be a life talisman, so she chose to hide it.

She didn't leave, maybe because she couldn't get out, or maybe because she knew she couldn't go back to Gongsun's house. But she didn't look on coldly after all, but accompanied Gongsun Lan to live the most difficult days together. Isn't that enough? "Get up."

Ah Tan got up with Gongsun Lan's hand and looked at her in a daze: "Miss......"

Gongsun Lan patted the back of her hand and said, "Your identity is indeed a problem, if you return to Gongsun's house, it is inevitable that someone will recognize you and cause unnecessary trouble." But it's nothing, they went back to the house with me in the late spring, and you stayed in this house, with your intelligence, you should know that I have a lot to do here to keep you, don't worry, I didn't alienate you. ”

When Ah Tan heard this, tears came down at once: "Yes, Miss, Ah Tan understands!" ”

"Don't worry, when the opportunity is ripe, I will definitely let you recognize your family."

"Yes, the slave believes in Miss."

Before leaving, Gongsun Lan went to see Li Chaosheng again, his injuries recovered much faster than in Twilight, after all, he was a big man. Coming out of the North Mansion, Gongsun Lan's mood seemed to be much better, Yuexi looked at her suspiciously, and asked, "Miss, who do you want to know who the murderer is?" ”

Gongsun Lan shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”

Yuexi rolled her eyes: "You're not in a hurry?" Alas, I don't know how those unbearable rumors outside came out, it's just a big joke in the world! ”

People are terrible, and after a long time, the fake has become true. Gongsun Lan understands better than anyone else, but things have to be solved little by little, and there is no urgency or chaos. "Hmph. Since the other party dares to provoke us, we must be prepared to bear the consequences. ”

Gongsun Lan will not kill people casually, but she will not show mercy to those who must be killed.

Horse-drawn carriages passed through the bazaar, amidst the bustle of people. The cries of hawkers everywhere in the streets and alleys were endless, and Yuexi lifted the curtain of the car and looked out curiously, saying: "Since I came to Yasukuni, I have been bored in the house every day, and I haven't had a chance to look around. ”

As soon as the words fell, there were suddenly several hurried screams and galloping hooves in front of the carriage, and the coachman outside seemed to be a little panicked, urging the horses continuously. Gongsun Lan sensed that something was wrong, lifted the curtain and snatched the reins, and pulled it to the right sharply, fixing the carriage in place. The coachman almost fell off the carriage in a trance, but luckily the moon poked his head out and pulled him on the back.

Gongsun Lan frowned and raised her head, just in time to see a young woman in purple clothes galloping on a horse, the woman's eyebrows were awe-inspiring, full of energy, riding on a horse heroic, that posture would even make people accidentally ignore her beauty. The black horse beneath her is also unusually tall and powerful, unlike the usual mounts.

At the moment when the two staggered, Gongsun Lan keenly saw the other party turn his head, his gaze stayed on his face for a moment, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. When she wanted to take a closer look, the other party only left the back of the horse galloping.

The street was not wide, and the horse was very fast, but even so, the woman did not knock down passers-by or street vendors, and although the people around her were panicked, there was enough space to dodge, which showed that her horsemanship was excellent.

Seeing that there was no danger, the carriage driver hurriedly thanked Gongsun Lan and Yuexi, he didn't dare to say a word more along the way, for fear of upsetting the master and servant, and now it seems that it is not so terrible. "Thank you, Miss, for saving the villain."

Gongsun Lan just nodded, and Yuexi frowned, "Who is that?" ”

Before the coachman could answer, Gongsun Lan felt something, and said word by word: "Third princess." ”

Yuexi exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly looked at the coachman for verification, and the coachman nodded and said, "It's the third princess." ”

Gongsun Lan squinted at the street where the third princess had gone, and was silent for a long time before returning to the carriage, "Let's go, go home." ”

Yuexi saw that her face was solemn, and after thinking about it, she still didn't ask more.
