Chapter 3012 Ran Xiaoyu's True Identity
Upon seeing her like this, Zhu Chengjin immediately smiled and said, "It seems that you are indeed very intelligent. As soon as I asked, you already knew what I was going to say. Or, in fact, without waiting for me to ask, you have always been suspicious of this matter and that person?"
Nan Yan's expression became even uglier.
She gritted her teeth and said, "You, so you really, really—"
Zhu Chengjin chuckled and said, "Are you doubting that person? Or are you doubting your own doubts? It's already this late. Just say whatever you want to ask."
“…”
Nan Yan bit her teeth hard, as if she wanted to break them.
After a long silence, he said in a hoarse voice, "How on earth did you force her to obey you?"
Zhu Chengjin was still smiling, as if the more pain Nan Yan was in at this moment, the greater his inner joy. He had survived all these years by relying on the suffering of others. He even said with a smile, "Who are you asking about? Tell me the name clearly. If you don't tell me clearly, how can I know which 'she' you are asking about?"
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and finally said word by word with difficulty: "Ran - Xiao - Yu."
Zhu Chengjin was like a seriously ill person who suddenly found a sip of nectar.
He sighed deeply and said, "That's right, that's it. Say her name and carefully understand who is trustworthy around you. In fact, life is lonely. No one is truly trustworthy. Even your relatives, lovers, and the people you trust the most will leave scars in your heart."
Although his instigation was completely useless just now, at this moment, when Nan Yan heard his words, she felt a dull pain in her chest, as if something was really hitting her heart.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Stop talking nonsense!"
“…”
"If you want to say it, just say it. If not, I don't have the mood to listen to your nonsense here!"
Zhu Chengjin said, "Okay, since you want to hear it, then I'll tell you. That's right, Ran Xiaoyu is now under my command. She doesn't have to do anything, just stay by your side and pass on some news about you and the palace to me. In fact, she is also very close to you. She won't do anything that would endanger your safety. The news she has passed on over the years is just a few words."
“…”
"She just didn't realize that she wasn't the only one of my spies in the court. Her fragmentary information, combined with that person's, could still give me the clues I needed."
Nan Yan's face darkened: "That person——"
Zhu Chengjin interrupted her coldly: "It's not the time for you to ask questions yet."
Nan Yan could only grit her teeth and swallow her breath.
Then he asked, "So, you said that Ran Xiaoyu came under your command. In other words, she was not yours from the beginning, but you used some means to make her obey you, right? What was it? When did you force her to do this?"
Zhu Chengjin looked at her coldly for a while, then sneered.
Said: "So until today, you haven't seriously investigated Ran Xiaoyu's true identity?"
“…”
"Or is it that even my uncle is so bold as to allow a person with a hidden identity and unknown origin to follow the imperial concubine?"
