718 The Cui Family’s Ambition
The emergence of Zuo'an was a heavy blow to them. They were well prepared and their opponent was not weak either.
The other party was not fooled by their tricks. He spent a lot of money and used killers to find their whereabouts. It must be said that the other party was very smart and generous enough.
The three of them were no longer as leisurely as before. The news that Zuo An brought to them was enough for them to take seriously.
The Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling did not continue on their journey, but instead found a farm to stay temporarily.
They wanted to investigate the case of hiring someone to kill Feng Qingchen for two days for 200,000 yuan.
They didn't receive any news about this matter. How come they didn't know about it when it caused such a big stir in the killer world?
How many people in the Jiuzhou Continent can afford such a large sum of money? And who has such a deep hatred for Feng Qingchen that he would spend a sky-high price of nearly thirty or one hundred thousand taels of gold to take Feng Qingchen's life?
If it was Xuanxiao Palace's action, why didn't Xuan Shaoqi know about it?
If it wasn’t Xuanxiao Palace, who else could it be?
A series of questions made Wang Jinling and the Ninth Prince take this trip seriously again and hide their whereabouts more thoroughly.
Lan Yilin's injuries were not light. After she calmed down, Feng Qingchen immediately treated her external injuries, as well as the internal injuries caused by her pressure, that is, her internal organs were injured. After treating Lan Yilin's injuries, Feng Qingchen thought of his own injuries.
Her injuries were not serious, just scratches from the fall. But even so, by the time Feng Qingchen had cleaned up the injuries of both of them, it was already late at night. She picked up the dirty water and was about to pour it out when she opened the door and saw the Ninth Prince standing at the door. His handsome face was hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to see his expression.
Feng Qingchen stood inside the door and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"
She knew that the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling were very busy, busy investigating the assassin and mobilizing manpower. Logically, since they were dressed like this and there were people they arranged in the official expedition team, their whereabouts would not be exposed so quickly.
The Ninth Prince did not say a word. He took the wooden basin from Feng Qingchen and walked out solemnly as if he was holding some precious jade artifact. He mechanically poured out the water and took it back. During this process, the Ninth Prince's posture of holding the wooden basin did not change. He... seemed to have never done such a thing before.
A faint smile appeared on Feng Qingchen's face. She took the wooden basin and put it down casually, then raised her head and looked at the Ninth Prince with a smile, as if waiting for the Ninth Prince to speak.
"Ahem..." The Ninth Prince coughed uncomfortably: "Go out for a walk."
The farmyard was extremely quiet at night. The whole village was silent, which made people relax involuntarily. Feng Qingchen nodded and closed the door.
The two men left side by side. Wang Jinling stood behind the beam, grasped the Chinese medicine bottle, sighed, turned and left. The bottle in his hand also slipped and rolled on the ground for a few times. No one knew where it fell and who benefited from it.
The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen walked along the small river in Yan Village. After walking for most of the day, Feng Qingchen felt cold. The Ninth Prince finally spoke: "I'm sorry about what happened today."
Asking him to apologize was undoubtedly a challenge. Not to mention the Ninth Uncle, even Feng Qingchen was stunned for a moment. He turned to ask in surprise and looked at the Ninth Uncle. Unfortunately, it was too dark and he couldn't see the Ninth Uncle's expression clearly.
"It's nothing, don't take it to heart. Today's incident was an accident. No one expected that I would be recognized even though I looked like this." Feng Qingchen waved his hand indifferently. It was not the Ninth Prince or Wang Jinling who were wrong in today's incident.
"Besides, it's a good thing to meet him, otherwise we wouldn't know that someone is so generous as to want to kill me." Feng Qingchen kicked the stones by the river as she walked. It seemed that she really didn't take what happened today to heart. In this way... the Ninth Uncle breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Qingchen is well-behaved as she is, being remembered by the entire killer world, yet still able to talk and laugh freely. She is fine just the way she is, and it doesn't matter even if she has a huge secret.
"Lan Yilin, I will send her away as soon as possible and will not let her follow us." The Ninth Prince completely gave up the idea of investigating Feng Qingchen's origins.
Someone like Feng Qingchen could never be as weird as Li Xiang and Lan Yilin, not to mention that Feng Qingchen was a very good person.
"Send her away? Send her where? She should also be someone targeted by the killer organization." Feng Qingchen had no good feelings, nor any bad feelings towards Lan Yilin. She was just an innocent little girl. If they abandoned Lan Yilin, she would die soon.
This cruel world is not one that a little girl can survive alone. A girl like her would not live long even if she did not have the last name Lan.
"We interrogated the people who kidnapped her in the afternoon, and it is certain that she ran away from the Cui family." At some point, the Ninth Prince discovered that he would actually discuss this with Feng Qingchen.
"Cui family? The Cui family actually hid the members of the Lan royal family. What are they going to do?" Feng Qingchen stopped again and asked the Ninth Uncle.
Could it be what she thought? If so, then the Cui family is too scary and too ambitious.
"I hope that's not the case. When Lan Yilin wakes up, you can ask her and try to get some useful words out of her. I have already informed the Cui family. If nothing unexpected happens, the Cui family will pick her up in two days." The Cui family attaches great importance to Lan Yilin, and the Ninth Prince can vaguely understand the reason.
Of course, the Cui family will not give up everything for someone with the surname Lan, but... if that child with the surname Lan has half the blood of the Cui family, that would be a different matter.
Feng Qingchen nodded, indicating that she was willing to take on the task.
Lan Yilin was too naive. She didn't know what to say or what not to say. It was fine for her to ask, but what Feng Qingchen didn't expect was...
After Lan Yilin woke up, she became much smarter and more cautious. She tried to induce Lan Yilin to tell her some of her own things through chatting, but she was smart and refused to say much. Once she found something unusual, she would immediately change the subject.
She said that she had lost her memory and when she woke up she found herself living in a large courtyard and was not allowed to go out. She ran away secretly. When asked why Lan Yilin ran away, she cried out in pain and refused to say a word. She did not mention anything about the Cui family. It seemed that she was very resistant to the Cui family.
Feng Qingchen knew that the child had matured a lot after this incident and understood the reality of this world. No matter how smart you are, you can't beat your opponent's knife.
After asking for a long time without any results, Feng Qingchen realized that Lan Yilin must have thought that they knew her identity, so he kindly told Lan Yilin to take good care of her injuries and that the Cui family would come to pick her up soon.
Sure enough, these words hit Lan Yilin's weak spot. When she mentioned the Cui family, Lan Yilin stopped pretending to be hurt and looked at her with wide eyes: "Do you know where I come from?"
Feng Qingchen nodded: "Yes, the Cui family has come and will pick you up tomorrow."
After hearing this, Lan Yilin couldn't stand it anymore, she collapsed, hugged Feng Qingchen and cried loudly: "No, no, I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back, don't let the Cui family take me away, that's not my home, they are not my family.
I don’t want to go back to the Cui family, I don’t want to marry that short-lived guy, and I don’t want to have children. Chen Qing, Chen Qing, please help me, don’t send me away. Believe me, I’m very capable, I can help you make a lot of money, as long as you don’t send me back to the Cui family, I promise I will be obedient, I don’t want to go back to the Cui family, I don’t want to marry that man…”
Feng Qingchen knew that her plan had worked, and she quickly sat back to comfort Lan Yilin: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, just go home, they won't do anything to you, that's your home, your family is there, right?"
Feng Qingchen coaxed her patiently, but Lan Yilin just wouldn't listen. She waved Feng Qingchen's hand away, ignoring the wound that split open again, and cried loudly, "No, no, that's not my home, I don't want to go back, they keep me like a pet, not allowing me to do this or that every day, not giving me food if I make a mistake, and they want to marry me to that short-lived ghost, asking me to give birth to a son, and then kill me.
Woo woo woo... They are so scary. I have a younger brother, but he is stupid and dumb. He is over ten years old and still can't speak. He looks at people with his big eyes every day and eats whatever others feed him. I heard them say that I originally had an older brother and a younger brother, but they all died. Only the stupid younger brother survived, and there is still me... But they want to force me to get married, I don't want to, the previous person was scared to death, and then I came, I said I didn't want to get married, but they still refused to let me go and forced me to get married.
Chen Qing, Chen Qing's place is not my home, can you please not send me back? I don't want to go back, they are too scary, too scary..."
At this point, Lan Yilin burst into tears and hugged Feng Qingchen tightly: "Dad, Mom, where are you, where are you, please come and save me, I will never play around again, I will study hard and get into a good university, please don't leave me. It's so scary here... What heroine is immortal? They are all lying to me, I almost died just now, Dad, Mom, I'm so scared... I don't want to go back to the Cui family, I don't want to get married, I don't want to have children, I don't..."
Lan Yilin didn't say anything else. Feng Qingchen attacked and knocked her unconscious.
This was enough. If she continued, she was afraid that Lan Yilin's identity would be exposed, and then everyone would be in trouble. Feng Qingchen didn't know that Lan Yilin's abnormality had already alerted the Cui family.
Feng Qingchen put Lan Yilin down, pulled the quilt over her, gently touched her forehead, and sighed: "Silly child, didn't you say that women should be self-reliant? Everything will be fine."
Although, she knew that Lan Yilin would only become a puppet of the Cui family after she returned. Not to mention that Lan Yilin was just a little girl, even if she fell into the hands of the Cui family, she could only do what the Cui family asked...
The Cui family’s ambition and the way they treat the Lan royal family are so terrible!
The Cui family treated the royal descendants of the Lan family like pigs. They killed the boys and kept only the girl, who married the son of the Cui family and gave birth to a Lan family member with Cui family blood.
This time, the Cui family suddenly decided to participate in the plan to deal with Xuanxiao Palace, probably to find Lan Yilin, but they didn't expect that Lan Yilin fell into their hands, allowing them to discover clues...
The Cui family is so terrifying. Feng Qingchen is sure that the Cui family will be their biggest enemy!
