Chapter 173: Unpredictable
The next morning, Ye Lanzhou woke up and prepared today's medicine for Yan Su. When she went out, she found that she had not seen Xie Chengyan all morning. She was actually looking forward to seeing Xie Chengyan. Since what he said yesterday, she was almost certain that Xie Chengyan cared about her.
Even Hong Luo and Jian Xing didn't know about the basement incident, but he chose to tell her. She couldn't even think of another reason other than that he liked her. In terms of time, she couldn't compare to Jian Xing's time with him. In terms of affection, she hadn't fought on the battlefield with him like Hong Luo had.
He said that Ye Lanzhou knew all his secrets, and the basement was the last one.
But after Xie Chengyan said this, he seemed to have disappeared, and he was not seen until noon.
She was staying in the study room that Xie Chengyan gave her, but finally she couldn't bear it any longer and went to find Hong Luo.
Ever since Hong Luo learned that it was Ye Lanzhou who saved Sun Yunshu, she had considered him her benefactor and had shared almost everything she knew. So when Ye Lanzhou asked her about Xie Chengyan's whereabouts, she barely hesitated and said directly, "The prince left before dawn, saying he was going to southern Xinjiang."
Ye Lanzhou exclaimed: "Southern Xinjiang?"
Hong Luo nodded and continued, "The prince was originally restricted by the royal family and could not leave Shangjing, but this time the prince really wanted to make a trip on his own to feel at ease. Therefore, the master also paid some attention. Everything in the palace remains the same, as if the prince had not left Shangjing."
Hong Luo didn't realize what was going on between Ye Lanzhou and Xie Chengyan at first. She thought that the prince was only interested in Ye Lanzhou's ability and was prepared for one more person in Wanhe Tower. Later, Lin Yan's words woke her up.
On the day of the Great Cold, she was exchanging information with people from Nanyang at Wanhe Tower when she happened to see Ye Lanzhou entering the building. Just as she was about to greet him, she bumped into someone she knew: Inspector Chu Xiu. They chatted for a while, and she was still wondering how Ye Lanzhou and Chu Xiu knew each other. Just as she was about to step forward to investigate, Xie Chengyan suddenly appeared and placed his hand on Ye Lanzhou's shoulder.
They behaved intimately, and Ye Lanzhou did not struggle, acting calmly as if this was the way it should be.
She paused, did not move forward, and did not hear the conversation between the three people clearly.
After Chu Xiu left, Xie Chengyan and Ye Lanzhou walked up the stairs to the top floor. She then started to follow them. After taking a few steps, she was blocked by a pair of people in green clothes. Lin Yan held her in front of him and said, "The top floor is vacant for them. We need to be more discerning."
Hong Luo glanced up the stairs and immediately understood what Lin Yan meant. She hesitantly said, "She and the prince..."
Lin Yan always had a gentle look on his face. He nodded slightly and smiled: "I think so."
Hong Luo wasn't stupid, so she didn't ask any more questions. Sure enough, only those who had been married could see through this.
Lin Yan was only two years older than Xie Chengyan, but he had been married to Sun Yunshu since the time they were defending Jinling City. It had been several years since then. But then the Nanyang army was defeated, and Sun Yunshu's whereabouts were unknown. The soldiers said she had died in the chaos. Lin Yan had been a widower for five years and had originally planned to stay in Nanyang to defend it, but Xie Chengyan somehow persuaded him to go to Shangjing and become the owner of Wanhelou.
Things are unpredictable. Who would have thought that Sun Yunshu was not dead, but was still alive and standing in the army in southern Xinjiang.
