Naturally, although Xie Lingyu dared not tell her father that it was she who had invited her out, he must have already said a whole lot of bad things about her.
Xie Lingqin wanted this outcome, because the more illogical something is, the easier it is to cause trouble.
So she didn't explain, she just insisted that she was inside the house, thus preserving her reputation and herself. As for Tinglan...
"You, have you seen Tinglan?" Xie Lingqin saw that General Xie had been silent for a long time, so she pointed to a maid in the courtyard and asked softly.
The maid glanced at Xie Lingqin, then at General Xie, and lowered her head.
The bodies of the second young lady and Tinglan were brought back by the Prince Xian, a fact known to everyone in the manor…
This young lady...
For a moment, the maid felt a little sympathy for the second young lady who had never been favored.
He didn't even know his personal maid was dead.
"You slept for two days, and some things happened in the manor. Your second sister was injured by villains, and Tinglan, unfortunately, died protecting her master." After a long while, General Xie spoke, but his gaze remained fixed on Xie Lingqin's face.
However, Xie Lingqin's face showed nothing but disbelief, shock, repression, and finally, pain.
"Father, is my second sister alright? And Tinglan, where...where is she?"
"Don't worry, I've already entrusted this matter to the steward. You can go and see her later. After all, she's a servant girl of our General's Mansion, so we won't mistreat her. However, just in case, in case any bad guys hurt you, Father has sent them to check on your room."
Xie Lingqin looked completely dazed, nodding almost mechanically, "Okay, okay."
He remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he felt a chill. If he were truly worried about his daughter, why would he be so busy searching the house and bringing so many people with him?
Fortunately, Tinglan was able to be properly buried, which was a fitting end to her loyalty.
"Reporting to the General, there is nothing unusual in the young lady's room." After a short while, a nanny came out to report. After speaking, she walked closer to General Xie and seemed to whisper something.
General Xie frowned, glanced at Xie Lingqin, and then waved his hand at the old woman, "You may leave."
