Chapter 103 Is there something unspeakable?
"Sixth Miss Sheng, is it because she knows that Fourth Miss is not wronged that she deliberately harasses Miss Song?" Minglan walked to the railing and looked down, and found that it was Han Yanran who spoke.
"Miss Han seems to be very protective of Miss Song. Are you familiar with each other?" Minglan asked instead of answering.
Han Yanran obviously didn't expect Minglan to ask this, and she didn't hide her expression in panic, "We are all members of the Bailian Poetry Society, it's normal for us to know each other!"
"I remember that this poetry meeting was organized by Miss Han, Miss Han should come to Moxiangju often, and the secret compartment in the partition should be..."
"Miss Sheng Liu, please don't slander me!" Minglan was interrupted by Han Yanran before she finished her words, "I organized the poetry meeting, but I didn't do everything myself. I just controlled the overall situation."
"Oh? Oh!" Minglan didn't continue with her words, but just said "oh" twice meaningfully.
However, this conversation also aroused the suspicion of the people downstairs. "If anyone knows about this poetry meeting, it is indeed Miss Han. The secret compartment must have been there originally in Moxiangju, or it was built later. But how could it be built without making any noise? Could this action be hidden from Miss Han?"
"Are they accomplices?"
"It doesn't seem like it. Miss Han seems to be on Miss Song's side!"
"Is there something fishy?"
Once the voices of suspicion sounded, there would be more doubts. People were not as sure as before. Wen Shuyu glanced at the other three poems hanging on the wall, then looked at Han Yanran, and turned his head away in disgust. Han Yanran happened to see this glance, and she hated it to death, Sheng Minglan!
"I am friends with Molan, but most of her poems record events or describe scenery. She seldom writes about orchids and bamboo!" Amid the doubts of the crowd, a female voice suddenly came to mind. Everyone looked and saw that it was Fourth Miss Lu, who was good friends with Fourth Miss Sheng. When she said this, those who were originally shaken became confused again, because there was indeed nothing about orchids and bamboo in Fourth Miss Sheng's poems.
Liang Han was angered by Lu Jinxuan's words, "What is the intention of Fourth Miss Lu saying this? Fourth sister is good friends with you, but you betrayed her. Fourth sister didn't write about orchids and bamboos because she kept her ambitions in her heart. Does she have to express them often? It's not like her career was bumpy! It's Miss Song who often uses orchids and bamboos to express her ambitions, but none of her works can be compared with the one she wrote today. Doesn't this just show that Miss Song has no such ambitions? Fourth sister doesn't usually make ambitions, but when she does, they are high ambitions. The nobleness, indomitable spirit and tenacity in her poems, aren't they fourth sister's wish to stick to her heart?"
Liang Han's words attracted the approval of a large number of people. Molan's eyes fluctuated after hearing his words, thinking that he actually understood her!
Seeing that more and more people were turning against her, Lu Jinxuan began to speak without thinking, "Sixth Young Master Liang calls me Fourth Sister so affectionately, is there some shameful relationship?"
Molan closed her eyes, her heart ached, she could tell what Lu Jinxuan was targeting, the person who always said they were good sisters in the past actually stabbed her in the back and said such unbearable things, Minglan stared at Lu Jinxuan and Han Yanran, Rulan was indeed a hot-tempered person, after hearing this she wanted to rush over and curse, but because she was holding Molan and her hands and feet were tied, she couldn't She was about to show off, but someone downstairs scolded her, "Fourth Miss Lu has such a dirty heart! You make people think the same way about others based on how you are! My family and the Sheng family have been interacting for a long time, so what's wrong with calling you Fourth Sister? You are just dirty-minded! Yes, not only are you dirty, you must be jealous of Fourth Sister. They are all Fourth Misses, but you are unknown. When people in Bianjing mention the Fourth Miss, everyone thinks of Fourth Miss Sheng, but who would think of you, Fourth Miss Lu?"
It must be said that Liang Han was right! Minglan thought of the three words "Fourth Miss" that Han Yanran emphasized when she spoke to Lu Jinxuan before, and then looked at Lu Jinxuan's expression now. What else is there to not understand!
A few people wanted to argue again, but Qi Heng came back with dozens of scholars. The expressions of these people were very interesting, and each of them seemed to have something to say. Song Yunjin's body was slightly stiff, and a barely perceptible worry quietly spread on her face, and her eyes flashed from time to time. Seeing what kind of people Madam Yu and Princess Pingning were, Song Yunjin knew what kind of people they were. Madam Yu shook her head and sighed slightly, her face full of regret.
Qi Heng presented two paintings. Princess Pingning took them and frowned when she unfolded them. What was this? It was unbearable to look at. The princess handed the paintings away in disgust. Other appraisers took them with strange looks. One of them asked Qi Heng, "Young Master, why are the people in these paintings so strange?"
"Because there is no such person at all. Both of them made them up out of thin air. That's why the proportions of the three parts and five eyes of the characters they described are so strange. The two descriptions are also very different, which proves that both of them lied!" Qi Heng said no more after stating his conclusion. He looked at Minglan, who nodded to him to show her gratitude. Princess Pingning frowned again as she watched the interaction between the two.
With the help of Xi Que, Xiao Tao brought the two maids back. The two knew that the truth had been revealed, and their faces turned pale.
"Tell me, the two of you, who ordered you to harm my fourth sister." Minglan pointed at the two and asked fiercely.
The two were already scared to death, and subconsciously looked downstairs to the female guest area, "Which girl are you looking at?" Minglan looked down along their line of sight and met Han Yanran's eyes. Minglan curled her lips and looked directly at Han Yanran, but her question was directed at the two maids.
The two did not dare to answer, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Xiao Tao and Xi Que were standing aside, fearing that the two of them would kowtow to death and then blame their own daughters, saying that their daughters forced them, so they immediately pulled them up and tied them up.
Seeing that the two girls were not pretending to be scared, Minglan asked again, "Are you being coerced? Do you have someone in your family as a hostage?" The more Minglan asked, the more they trembled, and tears as big as beans fell down. Minglan felt a little bit reluctant, but she felt unwilling to accept the vicious intentions of the person who set up the trap.
"Sixth Miss, these students have also discovered it. Why not let them talk about it first?" Qi Heng saw that the two maids dared not say anything, and Minglan could no longer ask anything, so he reminded her that there were other clues.
Minglan looked at the scholars. They were a little excited. The one standing in front saw Minglan looking at her and immediately said, "There is another secret compartment under the table. The principle is the same as the secret compartment above, but the direction is reversed. In other words, if you drop a paper ball from the secret compartment of Fourth Miss Sheng, it will roll to Miss Song." In this way, things are reversed!
Everyone immediately turned their guns and pointed at Miss Song. Song Yunjin pursed her lips tightly, and there was almost no gap between them. Her hands were unconsciously intertwined, and her knuckles turned slightly white due to the force. Every sound and every look around her were like sharp blades, cutting her already tense nerves. She felt as if she was in an endless desert, surrounded by scorching gazes and silent judgments, and she was the lost, helpless traveler, every step she took was on unknown gravel, not knowing when she would touch a hidden trap and make her secret known to the world.
Finally, she couldn't hold on any longer, and fell to her knees powerlessly, tears falling silently. Everyone sighed again.
"Your poems are also very well written. If you show your true talents to compete with Fourth Miss Sheng, you may not lose. Why bother?" Madam Yu still felt sorry for her.
Song Yunjin knelt on the ground, crying in repentance. "Miss Song, do you have any unspeakable secrets?" Minglan suddenly asked.
