Xie Jinlan raised her hand and flicked Ruan Yezhen's forehead, and chuckled lightly in her unexplained and slightly annoyed gaze, and then said:

"It's just a piece of jade pendant, what can it mean?"

Ruan Yezhen opened her mouth to refute, but between the lightning and flint, she seemed to understand something, and looked at Xie Jinlan uncertainly:

"You have long guessed that Jiang Yingyu would make this move, the act of giving jade pendants, is it not intentional? The jade pendant is not something you wear all year round, and it does not represent your identity. ”

Chen Qing, although he has a straight temperament, is also a very smart person. If Jiang Yingyu really took the jade pendant to test him, even if he couldn't guess Xie Jinlan's intentions, he would hide it from Jiang Yingyu for Xie Jinlan.

Xie Jinlan's eyes flashed with a little appreciation, and he further guided: "Guess, why did I do it on purpose?" ”

Ruan Yezhen's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she thought carefully.

Jiang Yingyu's words in the study were nothing more than two purposes.

One is to sell Xie Jinlan, the prefect of Lingzhou.

Second, if he successfully helped Chen Qing get rid of his crimes, he could be regarded as pinching a handle for Xie Jinlan in his hands. If Xie Jinlan wants to deal with him in the future, he can also threaten him.

Glancing at Xie Jinlan beside her, Ruan Yezhen continued to think.

What she could think of, Xie Jinlan must have thought of it a long time ago. But what is he doing this for?

Shaking her head slightly, Ruan Yezhen thought about Xie Jinlan's intentions from the other side.

Since coming to Lingzhou, they have been running around for Ying's case. It is now imperative to find out who is really responsible for this case so that he can be brought to justice.

Xie Jinlan deliberately gave Jiang Yingyu a jade pendant at this moment, and said such specious words, could it be that Jiang Yingyu would have something to do with this case?

Touching Ruan Yezhen's slightly shocked eyes, Xie Jinlan gave her a positive look.

Ruan Yezhen eased her thoughts, and then there was a deep incomprehension: Ying's and Jiang Yingyu's are two characters who have nothing to do with each other, Ying's death will really be related to Jiang Yingyu?

As if seeing why Ruan Yezhen was puzzled, Xie Jinlan said, "Do you remember the three words engraved on Ying's chest?" ”

Ruan Yezhen bowed slightly.

The three words are: He, Mu, and Yu.

After they learned the identities of these three people from Sun Er's mouth, they also investigated. But these three people were randomly put into a cell for offending Jiang Xingqi as early as a month ago, and they have not yet been released.

The trio had ample alibi and were able to prove their innocence.

Why did Xie Jinlan mention these three people at this moment?

Wrong!

Ruan Yezhen's eyes flashed suddenly: Xie Jinlan only said the three words engraved on Ying's chest, and did not mention the three people. Isn't it, there is another hidden meaning in those three words? Xie Jinlan mentioned this matter at this moment, does this have anything to do with Jiang Yingyu?

He, wood, Yu ...... Jiang Yingyu......

Ruan Yezhen's footsteps suddenly paused:

Could it be that the word 'Yu' does not represent one of the three people, but refers to Jiang Yingyu? In this way, who does the 'he' and 'wood' point to?

"Why don't you keep going?"

Xie Jinlan's sudden voice interrupted Ruan Yezhen's contemplation.

Ruan Yezhen raised her eyes and happened to touch Xie Jinlan's slightly smiling eyes.

She moved a little closer, lowered her voice and said, "The word 'Yu' is talking about Jiang Yingyu?" ”

Xie Jinlan raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and then continued to walk forward.

Ruan Yezhen walked side by side with him and gently tugged at his sleeve.

"Hmm."

An almost inaudible sound of response came from Xie Jinlan's throat. If Ruan Yezhen hadn't been listening intently, I am afraid that she would not have heard it on this bustling street.

Receiving an affirmative answer, Ruan Yezhen looked sideways at Xie Jinlan.

Xie Jinlan looked ahead, but as if he knew what Ruan Yezhen wanted to say, he reached out and gently rubbed her head, and said, "Concentrate on the road, and talk about it when you go back to the mansion." ”

Ruan Yezhen glared at him unconvinced: It was as if the person who made her think at the beginning was not him!

But she knew that if Xie Jinlan really didn't want to say it, she couldn't do anything about him.

......

A lot of things really happened on this day, and after bathing and changing clothes, Ruan Yezhen drooped her eyelids and fell asleep.

Seeing her so tired, the four of them inevitably felt a little more distressed in their hearts. But seeing that she was enjoying it, she finally swallowed the words of dissuasion back into her stomach.

That's it, as long as the county lord is happy. All they could do was to try their best to reduce the fatigue of the county lord afterwards.

On the big bed, Rushi saw Ruan Yezhen closing her eyes and gradually stabilizing her breathing, she stopped the massage in her hand, withdrew her hand, and motioned to the three of them to stop their hand movements.

After the three of them withdrew their hands, they looked at Rushi's line of sight and saw that Ruan Yezhen had already fallen asleep.

The picturesque two of them got down from the inside of the bed lightly.

After carefully turning Ruan Yezhen over, covering her with the quilt, and blowing out the candles in the room, the four of them left the room lightly.

It's just that when they cautiously closed the door, one turned around and happened to see Xie Jinlan who came to the door at some point.

The four of them were shocked, but they quickly relieved themselves, leaned over, and said in a low voice: "The slave has seen the adult. ”

Xie Jinlan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a low voice: "She slept?" ”

Rushi said: "Yes, my lord, the county lord has already slept. ”

Xie Jinlan bowed slightly, and passed by the four of them.

It's just that when Xie Jinlan pushed the door, Ruhua couldn't help but say: "My lord, the county lord has been pampered since he was a child, and he has never been so tired as he has been in the past few days. ”

Rushi suddenly froze, and scolded in a low voice: "Picturesque, no nonsense!" ”

Then he lowered his head slightly and apologized to Xie Jinlan in a low voice: "My lord, Ruhua is also worried about the county lord, so he will not choose to say anything for a while, and I hope that my lord will forgive my sins!" The slave will definitely discipline her well! ”

Xie Jinlan just replied in a low voice: "The official knows, go down." Then he pushed the door open.

Seeing this, Rushi breathed a sigh of relief, and then glared at Ruhua fiercely.

As early as after saying those words to Xie Jinlan, Ruhua regretted it, and at this time, he subconsciously shrunk his neck to the eyes of Shang Rushi, and said weakly: "Sister Rushi......"

Rushi interrupted her words in a low voice: "What do you say back to the room?" ”

Then the next step is to leave first.

The three of them glanced at each other, and Ruxiu Ruqin gave her a look of self-begging, and then followed.

Falling at the end of the picturesque dejected followed.

How could she say that to an adult! If the adults have a dislike with the county lord because of this, how can it be good!

No wonder Sister Rushi is so angry. Even she herself can't wait to punch herself!
