"What?"
"About half an hour ago, Elder Dong sent someone to the General's Mansion, saying..."
...
Xie Lingqin and Zihe returned to Qingshui Pavilion and went inside.
"Miss, do you think the death of Second Aunt might be related to Second Miss?" Zihe pondered for a long time before finally speaking.
Even though the thought of it is terrifying.
After all, the second young lady was born to the second aunt. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs, let alone a child who would harm its mother, according to the principles of human relations.
Xie Lingqin glanced sideways at Zihe's horrified expression. "If it's out of ten, then at least nine-tenths are related to Xie Lingyu."
"Really!" Zihe exclaimed in shock.
Xie Lingqin withdrew her gaze, a chilling smile rising from the swirling tea steam in her hand. "So, perhaps Xie Lingyu is even more cruel than we imagined. After all, if Second Aunt dies, it will be entirely beneficial to her. She won't be a burden, and over time, she will be forgotten. No one will mention that she had a mother who was driven out of the mansion."
Zihe's expression shifted, "If that's really the case, then this second young lady is truly..."
"Oh!"
"Miss, did you hear the news from the general earlier?" Tridacna walked in from outside.
Xie Lingqin looked up. "What is it?"
"About half an hour ago, Elder Dong sent someone to the General's Mansion, saying that he thought the young master was very talented and that he could study medicine under Elder Dong when he had free time." After saying this, Chequ's eyes darted around, "Miss, what do you think Elder Dong means?"
Xie Lingqin lightly tapped her teacup with her fingers, her face thoughtful. "Then, General, you agree?"
"Well, Elder Dong doesn't accept people easily. It's said that the general brought up this topic in front of Elder Dong before, but Elder Dong didn't give any answer. Now that he has sent someone to come forward in person, the general is naturally extremely happy."
Xie Lingqin nodded. "Let's wait and see how things develop."
Ultimately, she couldn't figure out what Old Dong was thinking.
However, with the death of the second concubine, someone has secretly written a letter slandering her, which may cause some trouble.
Night falls.
A chill permeated the air.
Xie Lingqin changed into men's clothing and left the general's mansion.
Although the daytime opening was very successful, we must be careful and not make any mistakes. Xie Lingqin will definitely go to Tianxia Yiwei to take a look.
However, Xie Lingqin, dressed in men's clothing, was about to fly in through the back door opposite Jinhua Tower when she saw Bai Ling walking over, clutching her sleeve, not far away.
Yan She looked excited.
"Brother Yanshe, you're here! I knew you'd come tonight too, but I didn't believe you. However, I'm not inside."
"Where did he go?"
Bai Ling pointed ahead playfully, "Brother just said someone was looking for him, so he went out. I'll take you there."
Xie Lingqin looked at Bai Ling, whose face was rosy and whose smile was radiant.
"Okay." Xie Lingqin nodded, a glint of light flashing in her eyes, and let Bai Ling lead the way.
Just as she turned onto a quiet, deserted street, Xie Lingqin suddenly stopped.
Right now.
In the howling autumn wind, Xie Lingqin's eyes turned cold, and with a dagger, she thrust it straight at Bai Ling beside her with lightning speed.
Blood, a streak, blurred my vision.
Bai Ling stared at her bleeding chest, then looked at Xie Lingqin in shock and disbelief, "Brother Yan She, you..."
"Go to hell." Without another word, Xie Lingqin kicked Bai Ling in the chest.
This time, Bai Ling quickly dodged, and a cold smile that was clearly out of place on her face immediately appeared on her face. "You actually saw through me. You're really something."
The voice was no longer Bai Ling's; it was cold and cruel. Her body suddenly retreated, and at the same time, countless small arrows gleaming with black light floated out from her sleeve.
poisonous.
Xie Lingqin spun around on the spot, barely managing to avoid it.
The newcomer was clearly enraged, and a thin sword appeared in his hand at some unknown time, which he slashed at Xie Lingqin.
"Take this!" At that moment, a cold light flashed in the air behind the newcomer and slashed down.
"Bang." The body fell to the ground.
The air fell silent for a moment.
Then……
"Ugh..." came the sound of vomiting.
Bai Ling was now broken in two, lying on the ground, her flesh and blood mangled.
Xie Lingqin stood there, looking at the bloody mess beside her. Just moments ago, she had been slashing people with her sword, but now she was using the sword to support herself on the ground, vomiting white jade in disgust. Then, she said speechlessly, "I said, you were the one who slashed at him, and you're still vomiting like this."
"It's too cruel, too cruel..."
Bai Yu said.
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin's lips twitched. Just as she was about to say something, her brows furrowed again, and she stepped forward, pulling Bai Yu away, saying, "Someone's coming."
Bai Yu naturally noticed this as well, and without saying a word, followed Xie Lingqin forward.
Behind them, footsteps drew closer.
"It failed."
"Dispose of the body, and the rest of you search immediately. The orders are that we must find survivors."
"yes."
Bai Yu, who had already slipped into a courtyard, looked at Xie Lingqin through the wall and asked, "Looks like there are quite a few people here. Who have you offended this time?"
"Why don't you say who you offended?" Xie Lingqin frowned, then added, "Don't you know who these people are?"
"I have no idea."
"That person just now was disguised as your sister, and she knew who I was and even guessed my relationship with you..." Xie Lingqin clearly did not believe what Bai Yu said.
Bai Yu chuckled awkwardly, "I really don't know."
"Hmph, I didn't know you could make it this far to help me?"
Bai Yu had been speaking out of turn, and then suddenly let out a muffled groan, rubbing his arm. His tone turned sour as he said, "I just happened to be passing by, and I ran into these people halfway there, and then I met you."
