To avoid any unforeseen complications, Xie Lingqin buried Tinglan that very night with the help of the steward. Although it was a bit rushed, Xie Lingqin, having been an assassin in her previous life, had learned and experienced a wide variety of things, and had some understanding of burial times, celestial branches, and geomancy.
Therefore, Tinglan's burial was not perfunctory.
"Tinglan, don't worry, Miss will avenge you. When the day of revenge comes, I will definitely find you a better burial site." Xie Lingqin didn't say these words aloud. She only burned one last bundle of paper money for Tinglan before turning and leaving.
The accompanying butler looked at Xie Lingqin, his face twitching with sympathy.
When Xie Lingqin returned to the general's mansion, the sun was already setting.
However, things did not calm down. It was said that Tinglan's body had been properly buried by Xie Lingqin, and the second aunt would naturally come to demand an explanation.
The second concubine was dressed in a rose-colored smoky gauze dress. Although she was charming and alluring, she also maintained a dignified and elegant demeanor. She looked up at Xie Lingqin, and although she disliked Xie Lingqin very much, her face still had an impeccable gentle and kind expression.
"Second Aunt, it's getting late. Is there something urgent?" Xie Lingqin asked, her robe wrapped loosely around her, clearly in low spirits.
The second concubine also sighed, "It's nothing serious, but I think the eldest young lady is really lucky. She slept for two days straight without even knowing that the maid had died. There must be something fishy about this."
The second concubine didn't question why Xie Lingqin knew about the relationship between the Prince Xian and Lingyu. In any case, even if she knew, she would never tell anyone.
However, these things were too strange, and she certainly wouldn't let it go so easily.
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin met her second aunt's scrutinizing gaze and looked puzzled. "What you're saying, second aunt, does seem a bit strange. I only took a nap, but when I woke up, Father said I slept for two days, and Tinglan... Tinglan even..."
