Mingye's eyes turned seriously, but before he could say anything, the flower in the barrel popped its head out, "Lanyin...what do you want from Lanyin?"
Jiuxi shifted his hips, looked at the two carp swimming in the water, and said, "Do you know Lan Yin?"
Mr. Hong also surfaced at this time. "She's the most popular courtesan in Zuihualou... but she's been refusing to see any guests these past few days. If you hadn't come looking for her today... I'm afraid she wouldn't have known about Lan Yin's disappearance."
But Hua'er shook her head, "Lan Yin is dead. I saw it with my own eyes... I saw Bao Qing kill Lan Yin."
There was a hint of horror in her words, as if she had seen something extremely bloody. That day, Hua'er had just left the room when she heard the quarrel between Lan Yin and Bao Qing from the next room. Hua'er, curious, retreated back into the room and took down a painting hanging in the room. There was a small hole in the wall, and through the hole, Hua'er saw Bao Qing pinching Lan Yin's neck and saying, "Bitch!"
Lan Yin's beautiful face was filled with resentment, but she didn't struggle at all. She snorted coldly, "I don't have any ability at all, and now Mr. Wang wants to redeem me... You will perish in this hellhole forever!"
Lan Yin was very strange, but Hua'er couldn't tell what was strange about it. It seemed as if Lan Yin had deliberately angered Bao Qing so that he would kill her.
Baoqing's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He exerted more and more force in his hands and actually strangled Lanyin to death. Afterwards, Baoqing looked at Lanyin's eyes that were still open, covered his mouth in surprise, and tried desperately to close Lanyin's eyelids. However, he didn't know whether it was resentment or something else, Lanyin's eyes would not close. Baoqing leaned against the door frame with sweat on his face. He was so scared that he couldn't even make a sound. Lanyin's laughter seemed to be echoing in his ears.
But when Baoqing came to his senses, Lanyin...Lanyin had disappeared from the room.
After Hua'er finished speaking, she blew out a few bubbles and chased her tail, saying, "I saw Lanyin disappear with my own eyes... but I don't know why, Lanyin... Lanyin disappeared."
Jiuxi said firmly, "It was a fake death."
The doubts were resolved. Mingye lifted the wooden barrel with one hand, put his other hand around Jiuxi's waist, and took Jiuxi away from this place of fireworks.
When they returned to the mansion, Jiuxi had already fallen asleep with her head on Mingye's shoulder, with a faint dark blue color in her eyes. Mingye put the wooden barrel in the room, carried Jiuxi to the bed, twisted the corners of the quilt for Jiuxi, and then lay down with her clothes on, with a heavy heart.
But his eyes were filled with many complex emotions, including doubt, certainty, and many indescribable emotions.
He seemed to have figured it out. With a faint smile on his lips, he held the sleeping Jiuxi in his arms and slowly closed his eyes.
On the second day, a drizzle began to fall from the sky, and Yuebai and Sujiu finally came back with dejected looks on their faces. Sujiu was so tired that he couldn't even straighten his back, but Yuebai was still energetic and carried Sujiu back to the room.
When Jiuxi got up, she found that Mingye had disappeared, and even the sound of the two carp could not be heard. She frowned and put on her clothes. When she walked out of the house, she found that the rain was getting heavier, and the air was filled with the sticky smell of mud and the smell of braised fish in the kitchen.
She lifted her skirt and hurried to the kitchen, only to find Yingchun boiling water, while Mingye brought out a plate of braised fish and said with a smile, "I know you're craving it."
