Chapter 322 How could it be him?

A month is too long to wait.

No one knows what will happen tomorrow, or even... whether she can walk out of this restaurant safely today.

So instead of passively waiting for the other party to make a move, she might as well take the initiative to use her inner voice to tempt the other party to make a test move.

Tracy hurriedly left and hurried back, and nodded slightly to Lu Xinran as she entered the door.

Lu Xinlan looked at the actions of the master and servant and already had a guess in his mind.

She pulled her wrist, applying a little force with her fingertips.

"Don't mess around."

"I know my limits."

He took her along and they walked back to the round table together.

Zhang Shui'er listened to the two of them telling riddles, and the only thing she cared about was what the literary club's gathering would be like.

As soon as Song Junyan finished the morning court, he received news from the mansion and learned that Lu Xinran had left the mansion and rushed to Ruyi Tower.

He hesitated for a moment before preparing to go to Ruyi Tower first, wait for her party with Lu Xinlan and others to end, escort her back to the palace, and then go to the government office to do his job.

As a result, he was stopped by his subordinates who had hurried over when he was halfway there.

In the early morning, two unidentified bodies were found in Nancheng.

The bodies looked horrible, and they must have been severely abused. Because they were found in a busy city area, and when the people in the city were getting up and going out, the two bodies were seen by many people, causing considerable panic.

When Song Junyan received the news, he knew that he had to rush to the place where the body was found immediately.

But Lu Xinran couldn't just ignore it, so he ordered Ding San to take another team of secret guards there, and then he dared to rush to the South City.

Not long after Cuizhu came back, Lu Xinran saw Ding San's name in the system.

She also asked the system to help her figure out why only he showed up.

"Host, something happened in South City."

"Yes, I saw it. Today, the literary society had a gathering. First, the Dali Temple encountered a difficult case, and now a body was dumped in the South City. The coincidences are hard not to think about."

She has now confirmed that Mr. Song, the leader of this literary society, is Prince Bingzhen.

But I still can't figure out why I'm experiencing this today.

As she was thinking, her eyes fell on Lu Xinlan and her eyebrows jumped.

If Prince Bingzhen is really as smart and scheming as Eunuch Fu remembers, then is Lu Xinlan's behavior today also part of his calculations?

This person went through such a long journey, didn't he just want to lure her here?

"Tongzi, can you detect whether there are additives in the food?"

The system was speechless for a long time before popping out a few pamphlets from the corner. "Host, this is the pamphlet for the clerks and shopkeepers here. Do you want to take a look?"

"If I flip through the pamphlet, I'll reveal my true feelings. I don't want to make a fuss now."

"Oh, let me look for it then."

The system searched for keywords very diligently, and after a while it replied hesitantly, "Host, Tongzi did not find any problems."

No problem... Then why did Prince Bing Zhen lure her out?

Lu Xinran looked at Zhang Shuier, who was eager to try and go to the stairs to see the excitement, and said, "Let's go and take a look together."

Since he had taken so much trouble to lure her out, and he probably didn't know yet that she had discovered his biggest secret, she would just follow his arrangements and walk out on her own initiative.

Zhang Shui'er was already unable to sit still, and upon hearing her say that, she immediately stood up and ordered someone to open the door.

"Didn't you hear what's going on down there? Their party has already started and it seems to be quite lively."

Zhang Shuier grabbed her arm and went out impatiently.

Lu Xinlan's heart was pounding with fear, and he hurriedly followed them.

However, Tang Wanrou hesitated for a long time, and finally decided not to join in the fun.

She is different from them. She does not have Lu Xinlan's courage and means, nor Zhang Shuier's recklessness, nor Lu Xinran's special means. All she can do is to stay content and not let others find fault with her.

Many people had gathered at the stairs, all leaning their heads to look down.

Zhang Shuier brought Lu Xinran hurried over. Someone turned his head and saw Lu Xinran. He shuddered in his heart and immediately covered his face and hid back in the private room, for fear that Lu Xinran would remember his appearance and name.

They left in a hurry, leaving just enough space for them to get close and look down.

The gathering below has already begun, and a gentle voice is slowly stating the purpose of this gathering.

The man had his back to them, and Lu Xinran could only tell from his back that the person speaking was thin and not tall.

What Tongfu Gonggong said in his booklet was not too far off the mark, as the other party was weak and had to rely on medicine to stay alive.

While she was thinking, the person who was speaking below suddenly turned around and looked at her.

The moment Lu Xinran and Lu Xinlan saw each other, their pupils shrank.

This person...they have seen him before!

Even though they had only met a few times and the other party had never shown any abnormality, they all remembered this face.

"Why is it the Yun family?"

Lu Xinran murmured, and Zhang Shuier looked down again in confusion, "What Yun family?"

Her question was destined to go unanswered, as the two sisters took a step back together and quickly returned to the private room.

No wonder!

No wonder this man has to rely on soup and medicine to survive, but he can still live to this day.

Relying on the Yun family's connections and financial resources, it was not difficult for him to find medicine and famous doctors for himself.

Everything he wants to do requires financial support. By staying with Yun Qiong, as long as he gains Yun Qiong's trust, he can use the Yun family's property without alarming Yun Qiong.

She tightly grasped Lu Xinlan's wrist and asked, "Tell me, do your uncle and grandfather know about the literary society?"

Lu Xinlan's expression was extremely ugly at this time. "Maybe he knows, maybe he doesn't."

She knew that Yun Qiong had always intended to make the Yun family regret their decision to pursue a career in officialdom, but the path to imperial examinations required not only talent but also connections.

Who knows how this guy who goes by the alias Yunsong convinced Yunqiong!

"Let's go back."

Lu Xinlan stood in front of the door, grabbed Lu Xinran's wrist with his backhand and prepared to take her away.

Now everyone's attention is on the party on the second floor, so it is safest for them to leave in front of everyone.

Lu Xinran had obviously thought of this as well, as the system had just told her that Yunsong's booklet had been downloaded.

She can go back and check before making further contact with the other party.

Zhang Shui'er and Tang Wanrou saw that they had just returned to the private room and were about to leave, so they hurriedly took their servants to chase after them.

"Princess Wei, please excuse me. Our Master would like to have a few words with you."

As soon as they reached the second floor, a middle-aged man in a brown linen robe blocked their way.

Lu Xinran narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to decide whether to refuse when the thin Wen Songying walked over.

"Madam, Princess Wei, the master is in the private room and would like to invite you two to come over and reminisce about the past."

It was as if the glance back just now had never happened. Yunsong smiled kindly and with a hint of flattery, exactly the same as in the past.

But as he stared at him, the hairs on Lu Xinran's back stood up.

Her intuition reminded her that she couldn't enter the private room the man was talking about.
