Furthermore, Xie Danling was kidnapped in Sanlitun that night, and she suspected that it was related to Xu Shixun and several other playboy rich kids. She then went to find them and had a conversation with Xu Yiran.
He knew something at the time, and when he saw her appear, he wasn't surprised at all. He gave her directions, and she went into Xu Shixun's house. He wasn't worried that she would do anything to Xu Shixun or the others.
However, she had secretly investigated beforehand but found nothing useful, so the most direct method was...
Torture.
Xu Yiran's clean white robe was now covered in dust, making her look somewhat disheveled.
However, his scent was extremely clean; you could smell it even from several steps away.
Xu Yiran was perfectly lucid at this moment. Upon hearing the man's voice in front of her, she seemed to move her head slightly, then her anger subsided, and her voice held a hint of amusement, "You went to such lengths to abduct me, do you want me to say something?"
"Say what you don't want to say, say what you've always kept buried in your heart."
Xu Yiran seemed to smile. "Things I don't want to talk about, things I keep hidden in my heart? Is that why you're so eager to know?"
“Of course.” Xie Lingqin stepped forward as she spoke, a sharp blade emerging from her sleeve, aimed directly at Xu Yiran’s throat. “I think I’m not joking.”
The cold, sharp blade was no joke.
Even Suanpizi, who was standing to the side, could see the obvious killing intent in Xie Lingqin's eyes.
"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed if I tell you."
"Oh?" Xie Lingqin smiled, "What you say might just be exactly what I'm looking for."
"I've liked a woman for many years. I want to see her succeed, to see her grow, and to see her one day trample everyone under her feet."
Xu Yiran said.
The sound came from under the black cloth, and it was exceptionally clear.
Xie Lingqin's pupils contracted slightly as she looked at Suanpizi.
Suanpizi seemed even more surprised than she was.
This interrogation, did it uncover a love story?
"Oh, so who does he like?"
"you guess."
Xie Lingqin's sharp blade turned cold as she pressed it against Xu Yiran's throat.
Instantly, bright red blood seeped out, specks of which stained the snow-white collar.
"Xie Lingqin!"
Xu Yiran suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin was visibly startled, her pupils shrinking as if she had almost thought her identity had been discovered. But then she heard Xu Yiran give a bitter laugh, "The woman I like is the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, Xie Lingqin."
"That former good-for-nothing?"
Xie Lingqin said she wasn't afraid of being smeared at all.
On the side, Suanpizi's eyelids twitched.
"yes."
Xu Yiran seemed to soften as she spoke of this person, "I love her, that's the deepest secret in my heart, and I have no other secrets."
Xie Lingqin was speechless for a moment, while Xu Yiran secretly loved her.
What the heck!
"Lanxiang, Young Master Tong has arrived."
Just then, a sound suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.
Xie Lingqin glanced out the window and saw Lanxiang looking displeased, saying to the people outside, "Please say goodbye, I won't see you."
"Ah, Young Master Tong is no ordinary person. You've refused him several times already; you can't refuse him again this time."
An elderly woman, past her prime but sporting bright red lipstick, strode over, hands on her hips. She seemed to be speaking kindly, but her angry glare clearly showed she wasn't giving Lanxiang a friendly look. "Lanxiang," she said, "we know what kind of person you are. This young master Tong may be a bit ruthless in bed, but he's got a lot of money. If you can get through this, you can rest well for the next few months."
"Mother Qin, I told you I won't see anyone today. I'm not seeing any guests. Tell him to find someone else."
"Oh, so this is a girl from the kite's den? Trying to act all high and mighty? I've seen you entertain all those peddlers and laborers before, but this young master Tong is from a wealthy family, after all."
"They give me dignity and respect, and I'm happy to serve them."
Lanxiang stepped forward, speaking with more arrogance than anyone else.
Qin's mother was taken aback, "I said, Lanxiang, you..."
Qin's mother pointed at Lanxiang, "Hmph, serves you right, you worthless wretch! You don't even know how to pick up money! If I were decades younger, would it be your turn?"
"It's just that fate wasn't kind to you, making you born decades too early."
"Lanxiang, are you really not going to accept this offer from Tong Gong?"
"Several of my younger sisters died at Young Master Tong's hands, but I still want to live. I value my life even more than Mother Qin."
"this……"
"This is outrageous! A lowly prostitute dares to challenge me!"
"Mother Qin." Lanxiang looked at Mother Qin, her expression suddenly turning serious, "If you lose your life, you lose everything."
"Hey, what do you mean by this?"
"This is pointless. I need to save my life, so, Aunt Qin, please leave. Don't bother seeing me off."
Lanxiang pushed Qin's mother out, closed the courtyard gate, and then continued hanging the clothes in the yard as if nothing had happened.
Xie Lingqin looked at it, and then smiled.
She certainly has a unique personality.
Turning her head, she saw Suanpizi looking at Lanxiang with a slightly distressed expression, which she quickly looked away from.
"Xu Yiran, I won't waste my breath on you. Are you working for the Emperor?"
"no."
Xie Ling was slightly taken aback. Regardless of whether what she said was true or false, she did not expect Xu Yiran to answer so quickly and with such certainty.
"I've said before that I love Xie Lingqin, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, but the Emperor wants to kill her. So, do you think I would work for the Emperor?"
At her question, Xie Lingqin's pupils constricted slightly.
She had imagined a thousand ways to interrogate Xu Yiran, but she never expected this.
"I've said everything I needed to say. Can you let me go now?"
