Chapter Twenty-Three: Lan Xin
Cao Ran gently kneaded the mint sachet in her sleeve, hesitating slightly, if she took out the sachet and said what she thought, would he trust his own judgment, or he wouldn't care how a slave died, as long as Xiao Shizi was okay, this matter would be over for him.
Cao Ran thought for a while and said guiltily: "After all, Xiaoquanzi's matter is the result of my poor care of the moon, and the slave maid heard Mama Li say that Xiaoquanzi's sister Lan Xin is very sad, so I want to ask His Royal Highness to let the slave and maid go to visit Lan Xin to express their apologies." ”
Yu Wenqiao had no intention of paying attention to these trivial things, and dropped a sentence: "Just explain it clearly to Mama Li." Then he turned around and hurriedly went to Qinglian Pharmaceutical.
The next day, Cao Ran's head was finally less cloudy, and the sensitivity of her facial features had recovered slightly. In the face of Mama Li's casual concern, Cao Ran blamed all the inexplicable wind and cold on the guilt of Xiaoquanzi, and naturally got the opportunity to go out of Cuizhuyuan to visit Lan Xin.
According to Mama Li's instructions, she came to the Yuening Garden, where Chun Liangdi was located, the courtyard was very large but far less luxurious than the courtyard where the princess lived. The main house of the courtyard was supposed to be the residence of the princess, but the princess was afraid of noise after giving birth to a little prince, so King Qi especially favored the princess, and specially built a small and exquisite courtyard --- Liuliyuan in the garden with the best scenery in the whole palace. Since then, the main house of Yuening Garden has been empty, Chun Liangdi lives in the west wing, and the remaining side room is reserved for the next person to live.
Admitted to the hospital, Chun Liangdi was not in the hospital, after explaining the intention to a slightly lame little eunuch beside Chun Liangdi, the little eunuch shook her shoulders left and right to take her to a room in the side room, and did not forget to explain to her along the way: "Tired Miss Ran'er to comfort and comfort Lan Xin, we Chun Liangdi saw that she was pitiful and specially gave her a family affair, this sedan chair is about to come over, she is still crying in it, how can I see people for a while." The eunuch's voice was always high-pitched, which made people uncomfortable to listen to.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a faint sob. The lame eunuch clenched his nose and shouted in a rough voice: "Don't cry endlessly, someone has come to see you." The sedan chair will come over in a while, why don't you hurry up and change it? The little eunuch gave Cao Ran a look and motioned for her to put on Lan Xin's wedding dress.
Cao Ran nodded to the little eunuch, and the little eunuch couldn't hear the woman's crying and crying, so he closed the door and left.
Lan Xin is a very delicate woman, with small and delicate facial features, which is very attractive. Cao Ran slowly sat down beside Lan Xin, not knowing how to speak for a moment. It's not that she is unprepared, it's just that Lan Xin's sad sobbing scene was something she didn't expect, and she was afraid that if she didn't say this well, would it make her cry even more.
Just as she was thinking about how to open her mouth to comfort her, Lan Xin's sobbing gradually eased, her ruddy eyes looked at her, and she asked first, "Who are you?" ”
Cao Ran was a little cautious: "My name is Cao Ran, and I am the maidservant who takes care of the moon in the Cuizhu Garden. "I'm ready to meet Lan Xin's outburst as soon as the words come out.
"What are you coming to me for?" Lan Xin's flat tone made her flash a moment of surprise, and she didn't seem to blame her.
The tense Xuan was finally put down, and Cao Ran breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm here to ask for sin." The moon lover bitten your brother, and I am responsible for taking good care of you. ”
Lan Xin's big tears crossed the side of her face when she heard this, but she didn't make a crying sound, and Cao Ran's heart seemed to twitch twice with her.
"My brother's death has nothing to do with you, you don't have to ask me for guilt. I am the one who is guilty, and I am the one who killed my brother. Woo woo...... Lan Xin covered her face and cried loudly.
"How could you kill your brother? Lan Xin, do you have any grievances? Cao Ran knew it was cruel to continue digging into other people's wounds when they were crying so heartbreakingly, but she had to do it to get to the bottom of the matter.
Lan Xin suddenly stopped crying, and pulled out the handkerchief around her waist to wipe her red cheeks. After a moment, he changed his mouth, with a hint of nasal voice: "I mean that my brother suffered a misfortune because of the palace I entered." ”
Cao Ran asked calmly, "Do you think your brother's death is a disaster?" Isn't it a man-made disaster? ”
Lan Xin was stunned for a moment by her question, and her eyes were a little evasive and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Seeing Lan Xin's actions, the guesses in his heart were already eight or nine.
Cao Ran said in a deep voice: "You know what I mean very well. From the cuff, he took out the same mint sachet pinned to Lan Xin's waist: "You are familiar with this, right?" This is what I picked up in the Cuizhu Garden, according to Lan Zhu, your brother has not entered the Cuizhu Garden, so why did this mint sachet appear in the Cuizhu Garden? ”
At first glance, Xiang Sanglan was a little flustered, and subconsciously covered her waist with her cuffs: "You're not here to ask for sin!" ”
Cao Ran further asked, "Do you know what your brother did before he died!" Cao Ran wasn't sure if she knew the truth before she met Lan Xin, maybe Lan Xin didn't know what her brother had done. But after seeing Lan Xin's words and actions, it was very unnatural, so she wanted to test how much Lan Xin knew.
Lan Xin crumpled the handkerchief in his hand and said in a low voice, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”
Cao Ran looked directly into Lan Xin's eyes and said slowly, "Didn't you suspect the cause of your brother's death?" The night before, the doctor had already said that he was not worried about his life, but how could he die in less than a day? ”
"You mean...... Brother, he was killed by someone? Lan Xin's mouth opened in an O-shape, and her dilated pupils were covered with red bloodshots.
Speechless for a moment, Lan Xin took the mint sachet as if facing his brother: "After all, I killed you, brother, ......" tears broke down again.
Suddenly thinking of something, Lan Xin stopped crying, took Cao Ran's hand and said earnestly: "It's Chun Liangdi, everything is her."
Instigated. It was she who arranged for Lan Zhu to enter the mansion to take revenge on the prince, and used me as a threat to force her brother to help Lan Zhu kill the son. My brother did that to protect me. Now that he is dead, even if you know the truth, what can you do, Chun Liangdi has always been indisputable in the eyes of outsiders, and loves Xiao Shizi like her own child, no one will believe our words. ”
Cao Ran didn't expect that there would be such a vicious villain behind such a delicate woman she saw that day, she originally just wanted to tell Lan Xin what she judged, so as to gradually ease her anxiety for many days, but she didn't expect that there would be so much right and wrong involved.
Noticing the festive red makeup in front of her, a thought suddenly flashed in Cao Ran's mind, and she said to Lan Xin with some eagerness: "You must wear a wedding dress to get married today." ”
