A bright moon shines over a thousand miles, and autumn is in full swing.
"Father, you just said that my second sister is injured. I'll go see her right away." After a short while, Xie Lingqin seemed to have just recovered from her pain and spoke softly.
This appearance further dispelled the last trace of doubt in General Xie's eyes. He nodded and sighed, "Lingyu is injured on the face. You should go later."
“…Uh, okay, daughter will listen to father.”
General Xie looked around again before leaving with his men. When he reached the courtyard gate, he turned back to look at Xie Lingqin.
This glance, under the dim moonlight, was both obscure and complex.
A gust of wind blew by, and it seemed to soften the otherwise hard facial features.
Xie Lingqin glanced at General Xie's emotions out of the corner of her eye, and the coldness between her brows lessened a bit.
Just now, before opening the door, she deliberately cut up all her good clothes and put them in the closet. She knew that if General Xie came, he would naturally send people in to search.
A normal person wouldn't tear their own clothes.
so……
This father must be feeling quite conflicted right now. Although it won't affect Xie Lingyu and her second aunt, at least Xie Lingqin is absolutely innocent.
After seeing General Xie off, Xie Lingqin was happy to relax. She was still in pain and hadn't had a proper meal since she transmigrated, so she naturally needed to rest.
At any time and in any place, one must conserve one's energy to deal with the enemy.
"Oh dear, Miss, why is your complexion so pale?" Xie Lingqin was about to turn around and go into the house when she heard a worried and anxious voice coming from outside the courtyard.
The voice arrived before the person.
Then, a woman in her early thirties, dressed in a pink satin dress, walked in with graceful steps, accompanied only by a maid.
Xie Lingqin's gaze fell on her without any regard for her presence.
Aunt Wan, her father's eighth or tenth concubine, supposedly managed to get the position of concubine by virtue of her charming singing skills.
"Oh dear, Miss, why are you staring at me like that?" The concubine ignored the useless maids in the courtyard and walked straight over. "I heard that you slept for two days, Miss?"
Xie Lingqin nodded.
"Oh dear, Tinglan died so unjustly." Aunt Wan suddenly sighed, and as she spoke, she covered her eyes with a handkerchief, seemingly saddened, but her eyes were constantly glancing at Xie Lingqin's face out of the corner of her eye.
At this point, Xie Lingqin should naturally go up and ask.
"Aunt Wan, didn't Father say that my Tinglan died protecting her master? Why is she being wronged?"
Seeing that Xie Lingqin had taken the bait, Aunt Wan's face darkened even more. She then warned the maids in the courtyard and helped Xie Lingqin into the house.
The door closed.
"Miss, you don't know, Tinglan was killed by Second Aunt."
"What did you say?" Xie Lingqin excitedly grabbed Aunt Wan's hand, her face full of disbelief.
"It is said..." Aunt Wan's voice suddenly lowered, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, "It is said that Tinglan discovered the secret rendezvous between the Prince Xian and the Second Miss..."
"Ah!" Xie Lingqin exclaimed in surprise.
"Shh." Aunt Wan quickly gestured for Xie Lingqin to lower her voice before reluctantly speaking, "I heard this from others. I was thinking of not telling you, Miss, but after thinking about it, I think it's better to tell you." Seeing Xie Lingqin's distraught appearance, Aunt Wan's eyes lit up with a hint of joy, and she continued, "That maid Tinglan is truly wronged. I can't say much, after all, she's not someone you can be trusted with in this household... I won't bother you any longer. To avoid gossip, I'll be going now."
Aunt Wan came quickly and left quickly.
It's as if they disappeared as soon as the door closed.
Xie Lingqin, who had just been distraught and seemed to have been struck by the sudden news, suddenly turned cold and stern.
This concubine, Wan, in order to win favor, always liked to stir up trouble whenever she could.
However, just now, when Aunt Wan helped her up, she inadvertently felt Aunt Wan's pulse.
This Aunt Wan is pregnant.
...
At the end of East Street in Beirong Capital stands the unusually solemn Crown Prince's residence.
With a swift movement, Yu Qingyi entered the study without making a sound.
"I really don't understand you. You're the kind of person who's least likely to suffer a loss, yet you're asking me to unconditionally escort that young lady from the General's Mansion back home. Heh, do you have some plans now?" Yu Qingyi looked out the window.
The study was filled with the delicate fragrance of pear blossoms, and the breeze left no trace. By the mahogany table by the window, a man in a loose white robe stood like a touch of jade in the sky. His profile alone seemed to capture the essence of spring and autumn, and depict the myriad mountains and rivers of the world.
His entire being was seven parts icy cold and three parts sinister charm, blended so perfectly.
At this moment, the man slightly gathered his wide sleeves, his slender and clean hands holding a pen and drawing something. After a while, he paused in his pen-holding motion and said calmly, "I have no intention of doing so."
"Huh?" Yu Qingyi tapped her brow with her finger, and in an instant, a hint of amusement appeared in her upturned peach blossom eyes. "She's been poisoned. If it's not cured, she won't live much longer. Why didn't you tell her?"
"Why should I say it?" The tone was indifferent, devoid of any warmth.
"You, you, you..." Yu Qingyi walked to the table in disbelief. "Then why did you help her for no reason? Although the General's Mansion is useful, because of the secrets Xie Lingqin holds, many people dare not step on the General's Mansion's minefield. Over the years, although the Emperor has not said it explicitly, he is concerned about it. Otherwise, given Prince Xian's hypocrisy and scheming, would he publicly give the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion a pre-marital divorce? Apart from his affair with the second daughter of the General's Mansion, I'm afraid he was just expressing his determination to the Emperor."
