Chapter 185 Where Molan is going
Rulan said angrily, "It's me, Yunzai, open the door!"
Yunzai was shocked and a little overwhelmed, thinking: Why did the Fifth Lady come here at this time? She was not prepared at all!
"It's the Fifth Lady, wait a moment, I will open the door for you!" Yunzai wiped the cold sweat on her face with a handkerchief, and tried to calm down and replied to Rulan first, but there was a tremor in her voice that she herself did not notice.
Rulan stood outside the door with an angry face, while Minglan was thinking.
There was a movement from inside the door, as if the bolt was opened. The two waited quietly, and saw Yunzai open the door from the inside. Before Rulan could push the door in, Yunzai came out and quickly closed the door behind him.
Yunzai stood outside, and suddenly her eyes met Minglan's. Minglan looked at Yunzai with a serious look, and her face turned pale again. She was obviously surprised and nervous about Minglan's arrival. She quickly adjusted her mood and forced a smile, but her eyes were full of panic. For Rulan, she might be able to deal with it in the usual way, but Minglan's sharpness and intelligence made it impossible for her to fool her easily.
"Oh, it turns out that it is the Sixth Young Lady and the Fifth Young Lady who came together. I'm sorry that I didn't go out to greet them." There was still a slight tremor in Yunzai's voice. She tried to stay calm and continued, "It's just that it's really unfortunate today. Our young lady is at a critical stage of her meditation. She needs to be in an absolutely peaceful state of mind and it's not appropriate for her to see guests. Our young lady appreciates the two young ladies' kindness, but today, our young lady may not be able to meet the two young ladies as she wishes."
As she spoke, Yunzai's eyes wandered between Minglan and Rulan, trying to find a clue in their expressions that could ease the atmosphere.
However, Yunzai was disappointed. Rulan and Minglan seemed to have not heard what she said and ignored her words. Rulan glared at her and Minglan looked deep. Seeing that the two girls did not speak, Yunzai was secretly anxious and wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but Minglan gently raised her chin to Xiaotao.
Xiaotao immediately understood Minglan's intention and rushed forward like an arrow from a bow. She pushed open the door with one hand and brought Yunzai into the room with the other hand. The movement was so fast that Yunzai was caught off guard and could only be brought into the room passively.
Seeing Xiaotao's hand, Rulan gave Xijue a look and then followed Minglan into the room. Xijue quickly closed the door after they entered and stood alone outside the door, watching the surroundings vigilantly to make sure no one was approaching.
After Xiaotao helped Yunzai to hold her steady, she stopped talking and began to look around the room carefully. Seeing that there was only one person living in the room, she nodded slightly to Minglan, indicating that there was no trace of Molan, just as she had guessed. After that, Xiaotao walked to the window, closed it, and stood guard by the window to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
Seeing this, Yunzai knew that he had been exposed, and the two girls had obviously known that their daughter was not in Daxiangguo Temple.
Yunzai knelt down with a thud. Seeing her like this, Rulan snorted coldly, "I was wondering why every time I came, I was always unlucky and couldn't see her. I thought she was just angry and didn't want to talk to me, but it turns out that the reason was not this. Yunzai, tell me the truth. Where did your daughter go?"
Yunzai just knelt on the ground in silence, like a bullied daughter-in-law. Rulan hated this kind of behavior the most. She was so angry that she wanted to pry her mouth open.
"Yunzai, tell me the truth. Where did your daughter go? What do you mean by not talking? Could it be that you tricked your daughter here and persecuted her?" Rulan said threateningly.
Yunzai shuddered after hearing Rulan's words, raised his head with traces on his face, and said aggrievedly, "Why did Fifth Lady slander me? I am loyal to my daughter, how could I do anything that is not good for my daughter!"
Rulan wanted to argue with Yunzai, but Minglan stopped her. Minglan bent down and looked at Yunzai with deep eyes, as if she could see through everything she was thinking, which made her dare not look at Minglan.
Minglan lifted Yunzai's chin with her index finger, forcing her to look at her, and then she chuckled and spoke slowly, "Yunzai, you said you were loyal to your daughter, so you didn't want to tell her where she went," Minglan's smile faded and her face turned gloomy, "But you let your daughter go out alone. Do you know what kind of danger she will encounter on the road?"
As she spoke, Minglan took her fingers away, stood up, and calmed down the anger rising in her chest.
Rulan also became anxious and wanted to kick Yunzai, but she couldn't move her feet, so she could only stomp her feet to vent her dissatisfaction. "Stop being silent like a gourd with a sawed mouth. Do you think you are doing this for your daughter's good? She is so fragile. If she goes out alone and encounters danger, what will happen? You will be blamed!"
These words actually hit the nail on the head for Yun Zai. She hasn't slept a full night since Molan left. She worried every day whether Molan would have an accident outside. But the matter is done and Molan has already left. It's too late.
At this point, Yunzai was also at a loss. Her worries about Molan and her fear of the unknown made her a little dazed, and she began to speak incoherently, "When the girl left, she took the hidden arrows and the wax balls prepared by Wei Xiaoniang, so she should be fine. Sixth Miss, you were able to escape from the group of bandits that day, so my girl will definitely be fine, right?"
As she spoke, she cried and hugged Minglan's legs, looking at Minglan with hope, hoping that Minglan would give her a positive answer.
Seeing her like this, Minglan was angry and angry, but she couldn't bear it, but she really didn't dare to guarantee it. Molan was different from her. She had been practicing martial arts with Zhang Guifen since she was a child. She was strong and had some kung fu skills. But Molan was a delicate and weak girl from a wealthy family. If something unexpected happened, Minglan didn't know if she could handle it!
Minglan was getting more and more worried, so she lowered her head and asked Yunzai, "Did your daughter go to Youyang?"
Yunzai's eyes turned from hope to shock. How could the Sixth Miss know?
Seeing her expression, Minglan knew that she had guessed right. "Your daughter is unhappy with her family because of Lin Xiaoniang. She wanted to go to Youyang to pay tribute to Lin Xiaoniang, but her father and grandmother disagreed. The news of Lin Xiaoniang's death came suddenly. I'm afraid your daughter has always been suspicious and has been awkward with her father for a long time. This may have become a knot in her heart!"
Hearing this, Rulan was also shocked. She had some impression of what happened back then. Her father loved Molan the most, but since Lin Qinshuang's death, the two father and daughter seemed to have a gap. Molan has been less close to her father since then. She even complained about her father like in the script, saying that her father was a heartless man. It seems that there is another hidden story behind this.
