Suddenly, a man appeared in the room. He stood with his back to the door, wearing dark clothes, but he was not Situ Yao.
It was even more strange that an unknown man would appear at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and in this remote courtyard.
Thinking of this, Su Mengyan asked with some confusion: "Who are you, and who allowed you to come in?"
The man turned around after hearing that, looked at Su Mengyan with a gloomy expression, and looked her up and down.
Seeing Su Mengyan's luxurious clothes, he thought she was from a wealthy family, so he bowed and said slowly, "My name is Leng San."
Leng San?
Su Mengyan's pupils shrank suddenly when she heard this. She had a memory of this name.
In the novel, Su Mengyan's original plot was to die tragically and be torn into pieces by five horses, and Leng San was the executioner.
When Su Mengyan was reading the book, she was shocked by Leng San's viciousness and cruelty. She thought to herself that this kind of person was so mentally twisted and perverted that how could he do such a cruel thing.
He used to be a jailer in the Ministry of Justice and had studied many torturous punishments, the cruelty of which was shocking. Many innocent people were tortured into confessing under his torture.
It turned out that Su Mengyan was tortured by him before her death, and she was half dead after an interrogation.
Seeing this pervert standing in front of her, Su Mengyan's face turned pale. She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she just stood there and looked into his eyes.
After a while, Su Mengyan suddenly came back to her senses. Logically speaking, at this point in the novel, Su Mengyan had not met Leng San, and many things had changed. Besides, wasn't she still alive and well?
So even though no one knows who deliberately brought Leng San here, and no one knows what his purpose is, based on the current situation, Su Mengyan should pretend not to know him.
"I have never seen you before. Are you a servant in this mansion?" Su Mengyan calmed herself down, softened her expression, and spoke.
Leng San just shook his head, thinking of Cui Mixue's instructions, and didn't say anything else.
Cui Mixue, who was standing outside the house, saw the whole scene and saw clearly Su Mengyan's embarrassment.
Su Mengyan and Leng San have never met in this life, and it can be said that they are strangers. But why does Su Mengyan look so flustered and a little at a loss?
Su Mengyan looked so nervous, she must have known Leng San's identity, and should have known that he was the one who executed her in her previous life.
Thinking of this, Cui Mixue curled her lips. It seemed that her guess was correct. Since Su Mengyan knew Leng San's identity, she must be a reborn person like herself.
The atmosphere in the room was very heavy. Su Mengyan heard her own shallow breathing and took two steps back in the room.
When he realized something was wrong, he saw Cui Mixue standing outside the window. Only then did he realize that he had fallen into a trap. He wondered if he had been suspected.
Seeing that she saw her, Cui Mixue twisted the handkerchief in her hand and looked at her meaningfully. She looked at Su Mengyan's expression, trying to find some clues from her face to prove that her outrageous guess was correct.
Then he walked into the house and faced Su Mengyan.
Su Mengyan knew what Cui Mixue was thinking. She paused and looked at her with a smile, "Miss Cui, what do you want to talk to me about? Are you trying to find out where the Crown Prince is?"
"Su..."
"His Highness is not here now. If you want to find him, you have to go to his house." Su Mengyan interrupted her before she could finish her words and asked her indirectly why she came.
Leng San next to her kept staring at her, making Su Mengyan's hair stand on end.
In her heart, she was thinking, she couldn't let Cui Mixue take over the final word, and she couldn't lose the upper hand in terms of momentum. She knew very well what Su Mengyan had experienced in her past life. If she retreated timidly now, she would undoubtedly be digging her own grave.
She exhaled calmly.
"Leng San, you know what day it is today, so why are you here?"
Before Leng San could say anything, she asked again, "You happened to meet me here? I'm afraid it's not that coincidental. Is it just a coincidence or was it carefully planned by you? Don't you know better than me?"
She turned her head and looked at Cui Mixue: "Oh, by the way, Miss Cui should be in the front hall drinking and chatting with other princesses. Why are you looking for me now? Why are you looking for me?"
She asked a series of questions, leaving Leng San and Cui Mixue speechless.
Cui Mixue simply snorted coldly, then pointed at Su Mengyan while smiling at Leng San. She remembered that in her previous life, Su Mengyan was also locked up in this room by Leng San and tortured to death around this time. If the Su Mengyan in front of her was truly reborn, she would definitely be terrified by this scene and would definitely tremble uncontrollably.
Leng San closed the door and took out the...
That’s right, it’s a torture device.
Su Mengyan felt that the expression on Cui Mixue's face was more interesting than her own. She would never have thought that Su Mengyan was still Su Mengyan. She was indeed reborn as she expected, but the soul in this body was not the original Su Mengyan.
At this moment, Su Mengyan felt that the cold sweat she had just sweated out was flowing out again. She knew how the plot would develop, but now that things fell on her, she still couldn't help but feel a little creepy.
She secretly told herself to calm down, she must calm down!
"What are you going to do!"
Although Su Mengyan's legs were shaking, she was not afraid. She regretted why Cui Mixue was the heroine. How could such a person be written as the heroine?
"Why don't you look so scared anymore? Are you hiding your emotions well?"
Seeing this, Cui Mixue frowned. She walked up to Su Mengyan and looked at her straight.
Two people are so close to each other, they are either about to fight or kiss.
Su Mengyan couldn't help but think of these words. Seeing her approaching, she couldn't help but push her away and said loudly: "Miss Cui, if you have something to say, just say it. What are you doing getting so close to me?"
Cui Mixue didn't seem that angry when she was pushed away by her. She just tilted her head, wondering why Su Mengyan in front of her was just nervous instead of scared. Could it be that her suspicion was wrong?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hesitate. Could it be that Su Mengyan hadn't been reborn like her? Then how could she explain all the things Su Mengyan had done that were contrary to the plot?
At this time, at the banquet, a group of female relatives were chatting happily around the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine nodded frequently, chatted with the female relatives about all sorts of things, and from time to time gave them some precious hairpins and jewelry.
There was singing and dancing below as another round of dishes was served.
