“What do you mean?” Ling Long’s brows moved imperceptibly.

Yin Yin looked at Ling Long, her eyes darkening. “Maybe we were wrong from the start.” She thought about it and said, “On this matter, only Liu Ruoxi knows best.”

Ling Long’s eyes sank. He looked at Yin Yin and didn’t speak again.

Yin Yin originally wanted to find Liu Ruoxi right away, but was forced by Ling Long to have lunch first, and then went to Tianxiang Lou together.

In fact, after seeing the burnt corpse just now, Yin Yin really had no appetite. However, under Ling Long’s gaze, she ate a bowl of rice and drank a bowl of soup.

When she and Ling Long just arrived at the entrance of Tianxiang Lou, Bitao greeted them from outside. “Young Master Ling Long, Sect leader is already waiting for you inside.”

Yin Yin was a little surprised. “She knew we will come?”

Bitao glanced at Yin Yin, her expression a little complicated, but she only said, “Sect leader is in Qingle Pavilion.”

“Thank you, Miss Bitao.” Ling Long nodded lightly and then pulled Yin Yin into Tianxiang Lou.

When they came to Qingle Pavilion, the refreshing cypress fragrance was still lingering inside.

Liu Ruoxi leaned on the soft couch alone, looking haggard. Seeing Yin Yin and Ling Long coming in, she just raised her eyelids. “Sit down.”

This time Ling Long no longer sat next to Liu Ruoxi, but moved a chair with Yin Yin and sat opposite her.

Liu Ruoxi smiled tiredly, and then looked at Yin Yin. “Miss Yin, you really surprised me.”

……What do you mean?

“When I first met you, I thought you were just an ignorant and incompetent young lady like what the rumors had said, but you were unexpectedly sharp.”

……

Yin Yin now really wants to know who spread this so-called rumors!

“I believe you already know the truth?”

“En……” Yin Yin nodded. “In fact, it’s just my guess.”

“Oh?” Liu Ruoxi raised her eyebrows with a faint smile on her face. “I am all ears.”

“Basically, the Shancha of Tianxiang Society is not Qing Shancha at all. We made a mistake from the beginning.” Of course, this is also inseparable from your intentional misleading, but Yin Yin naturally didn’t say this sentence.

“Not Qing Shancha?” Liu Ruoxi looked at Yin Yin with interest. “Who is she then?”

“Luzhu.”

These two words changed Liu Ruoxi’s look. Yin Yin continued, “Two years ago, something did really happen to the Qing family, but we should switch the perpetrator and the victim. It’s not the young lady of the Qing family, Qing Shancha, who was poisoned and disfigured, but her close maidservant, Luzhu.”

Yin Yin’s words made Liu Ruoxi silent for a long time. Finally she spoke heavily, “That’s right. Although Luzhu can’t speak, it doesn’t mean she can’t write. When I had saved her, she told me everything.”

Liu Ruoxi seemed to be trapped in some distant memory, and said with varying expressions on her face, “That year, Ning Qingfeng, Zhu Wuwen and two other wealthy young masters went to Nanping County together and met Qing Shancha on the road. At that time, Ning Qingfeng and Zhu Wuwen both took a fancy to Qing Shancha, but Ning Qingfeng expressed his feelings before Zhu Wuwen. The Zhu family and the Ning family were family friends. Zhu Wuwen doesn’t want to be at odds with Ning Qingfeng because of a woman, so he’d only been secretly communicating with Qing Shancha.

In fact, the one Qing Shancha really like was actually Zhu Wuwen. Upon seeing that her and Ning Qingfeng’s marriage date was fast approaching, she finally made an appointment with Zhu Wuwen. She expressed that she was unwilling to marry Ning Qingfeng and wanted to go with Zhu Wuwen. At that time, Zhu Wuwen did not agree. But while he did not want to offend Ning Qingfeng, he was also reluctant to give up Qing Shancha, so the two of them came up with a way. “

“The golden cicada casting off its skin.”

Liu Ruoxi looked at Yin Yin and nodded softly. “As long as Qing Shancha is dead, the Ning family will naturally not force marriage to the Qing family again. They will not offend the Ning family and she can also stay together with Zhu Wuwen. It’s really a wonderful plan.” Liu Ruoxi said this and couldn’t help but laughing sarcastically. “But in this plan, they lacked a vital prop.”

“Qing Shancha’s corpse.” Yin Yin’s face was a bit ugly. Things turned out to be exactly the same as she had thought.

“Yes. At that time, Qing Shancha first thought of Luzhu. One, Luzhu was her personal maidservant so she will be unsuspecting of her – it’s a good start. Two, Luzhu knew about her relationship with Zhu Wuwen so they could just do away with her in passing. So they carried out the original plan, poisoning her and then setting up a fire – everything went well. But in the end, Luzhu did not die.

Qing Shancha didn’t expect to be discovered so quickly and she almost didn’t make it out, but soon she was already running away with Zhu Wuwen. Qing Shancha was almost caught on the spot. But what about it? She is the only daughter of the Qing family. Although they are heartbroken, they can’t really catch her to see the officials. So the Qing family decided to let Qing Shancha go and imprisoned the rescued Luzhu as Qing Shancha inside the house. Although Luzhu didn’t die, things already became like this, and the marriage contract naturally fell through. The goal of Qing Shancha and Zhu Wuwen were still achieved. “

Yin Yin’s heart trembled when she heard it. It was really a vicious plan! For their own selfishness, they have harmed innocent people like this. How can they still have a peace of mind?

“Can you imagine how Luzhu spent the days when she was imprisoned at the Qing’s house? It was simply hell.” When Liu Ruoxi said this, she became a little excited. “Later, I passed by the Qing’s house when I went to Nanping County. I always felt that the family was weird. I was curious and found Luzhu so I rescued her.”

“However,” Liu Ruoxi looked at Yin Yin again. “how did you find it out?”

“Err……” Yin Yin touched her nose. “At first, my mother said she thought Qingmei was very familiar, and then Zhu Wuwen’s death made me feel very strange.” The most important thing is that, this kind of golden cicada’s shell strategy had been used by her too many times when she was cheating people before, so she had this kind of familiarity with it.

The curtain of the door was gently lifted up and made a rustling sound. A figure came out from the inner room.

“Qing Shancha?” Yin Yin paused and then corrected herself. “Luzhu.”

Luzhu was still wearing a ghost mask. Yin Yin couldn’t see her expression, but she could feel that Luzhu’s whole person was much more relaxed than before. “So, the one who died is the real Qing Shancha, which is also Qingmei?”

“Yes.” Liu Ruoxi picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. “She should have died two years ago. In the past two years, she has been hiding her identity and sneaking around. Maybe thinking that the limelight has passed and no one can recognize her, so she dared to come to the Jingxiang banquet openly.”

Yin Yin’s mouth twitched. Where did she get such shameless confidence?

“She may have forgotten about it, but Luzhu will never forget it for the rest of her life.”

“I’m afraid it’s not that simple.” Ling Long looked at Luzhu. “The Zhu family won’t just leave it like this.”

Liu Ruoxi’s beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned. “Qing Shancha, the murderer they want to catch, has been burned to death on the side of the river.”

What a series of plan ah, it’s just……

Yin Yin was embarrassed in her heart. “According to my observation, that Constable Xu is not a fool. They should soon find out that the dead body was not Luzhu’s.”

Luzhu made few gestures to Liu Ruoxi. Her eyes became dark and said, “She said that as long as Qing Shancha and Zhu Wuwen are dead, she will die without regret.”

Yin Yin was a little sad. She couldn’t tell why. Lu Zhu encountered this kind of thing, and it is human nature to want to kill an enemy, but is that all there is to it? She could have lived well. It was not easy for her to escape death. But she devoted all her heart on revenge, and in the end she had to take her own life.

Yet, if there is no revenge, the Luzhu who had become like this, can she really find another motivation to survive? Can she really get a new life?

The mystery of life is a century-old question, so even if Yin Yin wants to break her head thinking about it now, she still wouldn’t get the answer.

Perhaps, there is really no right answer in life.

Ling Long reached out and rubbed Yin Yin’s troubled head. “Okay, it’s time for us to leave. Don’t bother Miss Liu anymore.”

The distressed Yin Yin didn’t realize the two words ‘Miss Liu’, but Liu Ruoxi heard it very clearly. She couldn’t help laughing at herself. When did Ling Long start regarding her like this?

Probably, since the appearance of Miss Yin?

Liu Ruoxi’s mouth couldn’t help but produce a cold smile. “Young Master Ling Long, please stay.”

Ling Long turned around and looked at Liu Ruoxi. “What’s the matter?”

“If the Zhu family asks you about Luzhu, please don’t tell them.”

Ling Long lowered his head in thought. “Okay.”

Liu Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. As long as Ling Long doesn’t say anything, she was not afraid of other intelligence organizations. “Thank you.”

“Take it as a repayment for your life-saving grace that day.” Ling Long pulled Yin Yin out of Qingle Pavilion.

Liu Ruoxi behind him couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Does this mean that he and I don’t owe each other?

She looked at the distant back of Ling Long and Yin Yin, her eyes gradually sinking.

On the way, Yin Yin never spoke. Ling Long knocked on her head. “Very sad?”

Yin Yin raised her head to look at him. “I think Luzhu is so pitiful.”

The corners of Ling Long’s mouth moved. “Everyone has their own lot in life.”

Life?

Yin Yin frowned. Is there any way they can help Luzhu?

Right!

“Jia Qing!” Yin Yin’s eyes suddenly shined as if its battery was now full. “Jia Qing can definitely cure Luzhu!”

Since Jia Renyi came to the capital, there is a great possibility that Jia Qing will also be there. “Do you know where Jia Qing is?”

Ling Long raised an eyebrow. “How much are you going to spend to buy this news?”

Yin Yin: “……”

Ao! Why does her idol love to talk to her about money whenever it’s a critical time?! Talking about money hurts feelings ah!!

“How much do you want?”

“I want……” Ling Long looked at Yin Yin and blinked, seeming to be thinking.

Yin Yin nervously swallowed her saliva.

“Forget it, owe it first ba.” Later, pay it back slowly.

“Aww! Ling Long, that’s very kind of you!” Someone obviously didn’t realize that there was a huge difference between owing money and not spending money.

You owed me, but I still charge interest ah.

“So where is Jia Qing?”

“Shili Courtyard.”

“I will find him tomorrow! \(^o^)/~”

“……”
