Chapter 584: 291 Desire Gorge (Midnight)

“Sister, you must rest well and come back to see us when you have time. We all miss you.”

Hearing the sweet and naive voice on the phone, Ye Zhen felt her nose tingle: “Mmm, okay, I promise you all, as soon as I have time, I’ll come back to see you.”

“Sister, it’s late. You should rest early, and we’ll call you again tomorrow.” Ming Chen reluctantly hung up the phone.

“Ming Jing, when will sister have the time?”

Hearing the voice made her want to see the person even more, human’s greed always grows bit by bit like this.

Ming Jing shook her head, “Only sister knows whether she has the time or not. Now that you’ve talked to her, it’s time for you to sleep, isn’t it?”

The three obediently went back to their rooms.

Ming Ti knitted her brows and whispered, “Don’t you feel that sister has changed from before?”

Ming Chen said thoughtlessly, “Where has she changed? It’s clearly her voice. Then tell me, what was she like before?”

Sister, she would surely scold us for having no conscience and only thinking of her now, then criticize us...”

This is in line with sister’s usual style.

The person on the phone was too gentle, so gentle that she felt strange.

If it wasn’t indeed sister’s voice, she would have suspected that Ming Jing found someone to pretend to comfort them.

Ming Chen shrank her neck, “I still like the sister we have now. What are you thinking about in your head? No matter what she’s become, as long as she’s our sister, it’s enough. Even Ming Jing didn’t say anything, so stop thinking about it.”

Ming Chen jumped into bed, and Ming Ti kicked her, “Go brush your teeth.”

Ming Chen grumbled as she got up: “You really are more and more like sister used to be.”

—

“Ming Jing, wait for me.” Liu Muxue caught up with her, holding up her skirt.

“You won the champion in the equestrian contest, so your riding skills must be terrific. Teach me to ride a horse tomorrow, okay?”

Ming Jing glanced at her, and the young girl’s eyes twinkled with expectation.

“Okay.”

Liu Muxue had prepared herself for a long-winded argument but didn’t expect the other party to agree so easily. Liu Muxue was first shocked, then overjoyed, and hugged Ming Jing.

“No wonder your junior sisters like you so much, I like you too, you’ve turned me.”

Ming Jing pushed her away, “I’m going to wash up, you should go to sleep earlier.”

After Ming Jing entered the bathroom, Liu Muxue threw herself onto Ming Jing’s large bed, rolling around.

In her room, there was a faint, unique fragrance that seemed familiar.

She had smelled it on Liu Jingyun as well.

This scent unconsciously made people feel calm, as if all worries and troubles had disappeared.

“Liu Jingyun, I hate you...” Liu Muxue muttered, her consciousness gradually becoming blurred.

Lin Feng furrowed his brows and carefully recalled, then shook his head: “I don’t know.”

“It’s too long ago, about seventeen years. He was of ordinary background but highly ambitious. In order to fight for some land for the common people, he offended the evil forces, and was murdered one night on his way home from work and thrown into Qujiang. It took a whole month before his body was found.”

Lin Feng suddenly remembered, “It’s the 117 Murder Case.”

The case had caused a huge stir back then, mainly because Jiang Heng was a good man who died a horrible death, and the people swore to get justice.

The police had invested a lot of manpower in the case, and it received a lot of attention from above, but in the end, it was left unresolved.

“Half a year later, a pregnant woman came to Jiangzhou. She had a mysterious background and was respected by everyone, everyone called her Madam.”

Lin Feng’s pupils constricted as he quickly realized the connection.

“Madam Jiang? So she was Jiang Heng’s wife.”

Her son, Jiang Jinchen, was Jiang Heng’s posthumous child.

Madam Jiang had always been mysterious in Jiangzhou, and no one knew her background or origin. Even those who did know never dared to utter a word about it in public.

“Madam is just her code name.” Ran Tengxiao dipped his finger in the tea and drew a symbol on the table.

Lin Feng gasped.

Everything connected, and it turned out that Jiang Heng had offended Ran Bowen back then. Ran Bowen saw only profits, and was used to wielding power in Jiangzhou, thinking Jiang Heng was just an ordinary person with no background, so he had Jiang Heng killed. What he had never anticipated was that Jiang Heng might have been ordinary, but his wife was anything but.

Lin Feng suddenly thought of Ran Bowen’s death.

“Yu Jiang... she’s from Madam Jiang’s side?”

It was simply astonishing how events had taken such a turn.

Lin Feng looked at the calm man before him, feeling even more awe in his heart.

How did Master Xiao get all this information without anyone knowing? It seemed that he wasn’t completely trusted by Master Xiao either.

He had even deeper schemes than Ran Bowen back then.

Ran Tengxiao’s smile was cold, “Yu Jiang, did you ever think of your own end? If you can hear me from beyond the grave, direct your killing intent towards your true enemy.”

Back then, Jiang Chunlan’s calculation was truly huge, taking a roundabout approach just to take Ran Bowen’s life.

When Ran Bowen died, the Qinglong Association became nothing but a gang of scattered shrimp, and she didn’t care about them at all.

But now, the Qinglong Association was a threat again under his control.

A greedy woman, she wanted too much and could not tolerate others sleeping beside her.

And the daughter of Ran Bowen, who was about to emerge, had the Qinglong Seal behind her.

No one would let go of such a fat piece of meat.

As for the daughter of his enemy, with that woman’s vicious nature, she would definitely not let her go.

This child was the best bait in his hands.

The chess game in Jiangzhou, who will win the battle?

Ran Tengxiao took a sip of tea, “It’s getting late.”
