Chapter 55 Relics
Ye Lanzhou stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her, then asked, "What's wrong?"
Hong Luo came to her senses and realized that she had been distracted. She then shook her head. Ye Lanzhou looked at her suspiciously. It was obvious that Hong Luo was not a simple maid in Xie Chengyan's house. From what she saw, Hong Luo should be a martial artist. She had noticed that there was a thin callus on the base of Hong Luo's palm, which was something that only martial artists would have.
Such a person would actually be distracted at this time.
Hong Luo didn't know that Ye Lanzhou had thought so much. She had just gone to Wanhe Tower and met her sister who had been separated from her for many years. However, she didn't expect that her sister had now defected to the Nanman.
I have made countless bad plans over the years, but I never expected this to be the result.
After returning from Wanhe Tower, she went to the Ye Mansion. She wanted to protect Ye Lanzhou, not only because of Xie Chengyan's instructions, but also because the female doctor who saved people in the old temple in Nanyang was Ye Lanzhou's mother, Qin.
Ye Lanzhou was still young at that time, and she looked like a little beggar in Nanyang, so neither she nor Xie Chengyan recognized her. It was Sun Yunshu who told her this.
Deng in the room was so anxious that she rushed out without caring about anything. When she turned into the corridor, she bumped into someone. The person was not big, but it was dark and there were few lights on the corridor. Neither of them saw him, and they both staggered.
The person opposite screamed in surprise. Deng recognized Ye Lanzhou's voice, and an idea suddenly emerged from her mind. She knelt down in front of Ye Lanzhou and begged, "Fourth Miss, I beg you, please help me..."
Ye Lanzhou finally understood the scale of the Ye Mansion and wondered where the late emperor's body could be hidden. Unfortunately, he returned empty-handed. He was afraid of being discovered wandering around the Ye Mansion, so he wanted to find a dark place to return, but he didn't expect to run into Deng here.
She continued crying, "Fourth Miss, I'm going to tell you the truth about Qin Xiaoniang's death. Can you help me find Anyun?"
Ye Lanzhou lowered his eyes and looked at Deng. She came back with Ye Qingshang, who had a broken leg, so there was no grand ceremony to welcome her. When faced with Qin Xiaoniang's disappearance, the servants in the mansion fooled people by saying, "She caught a cold and died of the illness soon after."
Ye Lanzhou knew that everyone in the mansion had been lying to her, but she had been back for so long and no one had told her the truth, as if they were determined to keep the matter under wraps. Ye Zhixing and Madam Ye, the head of the household, showed no remorse, their hearts completely absorbed in the grief of Ye Qingshang's broken leg.
Just when she thought she had given up her kindness towards everyone in the mansion and wanted to help Xie Chengyan find the late emperor's body so that she could take revenge on them one by one, she didn't expect that Deng would run out at this time and tell him all the truth she knew.
What she said was almost exactly the same as what He Qiumao said, Qin was forced to death.
Madam Ye said that Qin's body was unclean. How could Ye Lanzhou, a nobleman, have a mother of such a background? Qin committed suicide by taking poison that night.
Ye Lanzhou felt uncomfortable listening to this, and suddenly realized that Madam Ye was using her as a scapegoat. If it weren't for her daughter's reputation, Qin wouldn't have died so resolutely.
Mrs. Deng handed her a dark gold stone and said, "This is what your mother gave me before she died. She told me to return it to you if I could see you again."
The stone was strange in appearance. It was black with two golden dots on it. Ye Lanzhou took the stone in his hand and found that it was a black stone carved into the shape of a tiger. The two golden dots on it were not dotted on, but inlaid with gold.
