Chapter 91: No Compromise Means
Xie Jinlan glanced at Ruan Yezhen, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear: Do you still need to remind you?
Ruan Yezhen suddenly puffed out her face, snorted heavily, and turned her face away from Xie Jinlan's face that made her angry.
When he came to the pavilion, Xie Jinlan was not polite, and sat on the stone bench with his clothes straight.
Seeing this, Lin Xue'er twisted her waist and walked to Xie Jinlan's side, gently picked up the teacup on the tray and placed it in front of Xie Jinlan, then lifted the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for Xie Jinlan herself.
After gently putting the teapot back in place, she slowly walked to sit opposite Xie Jinlan, and raised her hand with a smile: "My lord, please!" ”
Xie Jinlan gently rubbed the rim of the cup, and saw that Lin Xue'er was empty in front of her, so she asked with a smile: "Aunt Xue doesn't drink?" ”
Lin Xue'er's face was as usual: "Naturally, I want it." After the words fell, he poured himself a cup of hot tea, and then folded his hands to hold the teacup, and motioned to Xie Jinlan: "My lord, please!" ”
Then he lowered his eyes slightly and slowly drank the tea in the cup.
Xie Jinlan raised his eyebrows slightly, and then took the teacup and drank it all.
In the eyes of outsiders, he did drink the tea in the cup. But in fact, he just took advantage of the action of raising his hand to quickly pour the tea into his sleeve.
Only Ruan Yezhen, who was standing beside him, saw his small movements.
Although autumn clothes are not as heavy as winter clothes, they are much thicker than thin summer clothes.
Therefore, as long as you don't look carefully, you can't see the abnormality in Xie Jinlan's sleeve.
It wasn't until Xie Jinlan put the empty teacup back on the stone table that Lin Xue'er slowly put down the teacup.
Glancing at the green water on her side, after getting an affirmative look from her, the big stone in Lin Xue'er's heart fell instantly, and when she looked at Xie Jinlan, the smile on her face was a little more real: "Lord Xie, thank you for your face." ”
Without waiting for Xie Jinlan to react, Lu Shui suddenly bowed down and covered his stomach, frowned and shouted: "Oops! ”
Lin Xue'er's concerned gaze suddenly fell on her: "Green water, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lushui Liu's eyebrows frowned and said bitterly: "Auntie, the slave maid is afraid that she has a bad stomach and is going to go to the thatched house." ”
Without waiting for Lin Xue'er to say anything, Lu Shui immediately said: "No, no, no way, auntie, Lu Shui will retire first." ”
hurriedly saluted Xie Jinlan, and then left quickly holding his stomach.
It wasn't until the back of the green water was far away that Lin Xue'er retracted her gaze and looked at Xie Jinlan with a slightly red face: "Lord Xie, let you see a smile." ”
Xie Jinlan just said: "In this way, can this official leave?" ”
Lin Xue'er's expression stiffened slightly for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal: "This is nature. ”
When Xie Jinlan got up, Lin Xue'er also stood up and moved her steps without a trace.
When Xie Jinlan passed by her side, she seemed to have broken her feet, and she screamed bitterly: "Oops! Immediately, the whole person fell towards Xie Jinlan.
Unexpectedly, Xie Jinlan had already taken precautions, and his eyes were quick and he turned sideways. I saw Lin Xue'er 'poof' and fell directly to the ground.
Ruan Yezhen, who was watching from the side, subconsciously closed her eyes. This voice, she felt pain when she heard it. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Lin Xue'er falling to the ground rubbing her waist, looking at Xie Jinlan with resentment.
Moving his eyes to Xie Jinlan's face, he was unmoved: "Aunt Xue, be careful, you're almost going to hit this official." Thanks to the officer's quick response. ”
Lin Xue'er was almost vomited blood by Xie Jinlan, but she forced a smile on her face: "It's Xue'er, Xue'er must pay attention next time." ”
Xie Jinlan nodded as a matter of course: "It's good that Aunt Xue knows." If the official has something, he will take the first step. "I didn't mean to help her up.
Seeing that Xie Jinlan was about to step out of the pavilion, a trace of puzzlement flashed in Lin Xue'er's eyes: "Do you feel unwell?" ”
Xie Jinlan paused, looked sideways at Lin Xue'er on the ground, and said meaningfully: "Instead of caring about the official so much, Aunt Xue should see if she is unwell." ”
Seeing Xie Jinlan walking away, Lin Xue'er gritted her teeth and stood up from the ground, her eyes fell on the lotus pond not far away, but in an instant, the hesitation in her eyes immediately turned into a touch of firmness.
But seeing that she quickly rushed out of the pavilion, she jumped into the lotus pond with a 'poof'! There is no hesitation in the action!
Of course she knew what was wrong with her body at the moment! The aphrodisiac she herself put in the teapot, could she not know it herself?
Originally, she thought that she and Xie Jinlan drank the tea in question together. After the two achieved good deeds, even if Xie Jinlan was suspicious of her, she could pretend to be innocent to defend herself, claiming that she was framed.
She couldn't figure it out, Xie Jinlan also drank the tea, why was there no difference......
Listening to the sound of falling water behind him, Xie Jinlan's footsteps did not pause in the slightest.
However, Ruan Yezhen glanced back, and when she saw Lin Xue'er's appearance as if she could drink water, she didn't pay attention to it anymore.
After thinking about Lin Xue'er's behavior today, she could roughly guess what the hell the other party was doing. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: This Lin Xueer is really unscrupulous to achieve her goal! Even she can do it herself!
Seeing Xie Jinlan's figure again, Mo Yan couldn't help but be surprised: "My lord, you came back so soon?" ”
Xie Jinlan teased: "But I haven't seen you for a while, Mo Yan is thinking about this official?" ”
Mo Yan nodded without hesitation: "Yes, sir, you really know Mo Yan, and Mo Yan is sincere to you." ”
Xie Jinlan lightly knocked Mo Yan's head: "Okay, I won't laugh with you." The official went back to the house first. No one shall be allowed to enter the house and disturb him without the command of the officer. ”
Mo Yan responded with a smile.
Entering the master bedroom, closing the door, and sitting down in front of the bookcase by the window, Xie Jinlan studied the ink while casually asking, "What do you gain from going to Tingfeng Academy?" ”
Ruan Yezhen's expression was slightly restrained: "In my opinion, maybe this case is related to the incident in Wang Yuanwaifu's five years ago." ”
As she spoke, she explained the conversation between Mrs. Wang and Lin Zirou.
Xie Jinlan extracted important information from Ruan Yezhen's mouth, and then put pen to paper to record it. After Ruan Yezhen finished speaking, he wrote down the useful information provided by Li Daniu today.
Putting aside the rice paper in front of him where the ink had not yet dried, Xie Jinlan picked up another piece of paper and wrote down many clues about the case in between.
Dagger...... Drugged ...... Strangulation ......
Putting down the brush in his hand, Xie Jinlan took out the few pieces of rice paper that had been properly placed in the drawer before. Then he stared at the few pieces of rice paper in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Ruan Yezhen also took a closer look, but no matter how she looked, she couldn't get any new clues from it.
