"Hmm?" The person raised his nose as he did not hear a reply after a long time.

Jin Lan's expression turned cold as he hurriedly retracted the hundred cycles in his heart. With a trembling voice, he replied, "I, I'm ranked number two at home."

"Ye Family Second Miss …" The man mumbled softly, paused, and then said: "Name."

Jin Lan bit his lips as the light in his eyes wavered. His eyes struggled for a moment before he softly said two words: "Jin Lan."

After getting the answer he wanted, the person seemed to be satisfied and became silent again. The room immediately became silent, as if the atmosphere had frozen, making people feel depressed and uneasy. Not long after, his ears twitched and he said, "Your servant girl is back."

As if to prove his words, hurried footsteps gradually sounded outside the house, approaching from afar. From the sound of it, it seemed like Bi He had returned.

Jin Lan lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "Yes." Then, realizing the situation he was in, he quickly raised his head but did not dare to look back. He could only stare at the silk tent and said, "Don't worry, I won't let her find out. "But you …" She wanted to ask how he was going to let her off, but she stopped herself and retracted the words on the tip of her tongue.

That person seemed to have seen through her thoughts as his eyes flashed, "When that servant girl enters the room, you will leave with her and head straight ahead." Then he said, "I will follow."

Was he going to use them as bait? The light in Jin Lan's eyes darkened. However, after weighing the pros and cons, she could only obediently nod her head.

"Miss." Before Bi He even arrived, the voice sounded out.

Jin Lan lifted up the tent slightly and came out. Of course, he didn't forget to place the tent properly, as he had just finished all these, Bi He's figure appeared in front of the door.

Seeing Jin Lan get off the bed, Bi He hurriedly went forward to support her. She reported to her as she helped her: "According to lady's instructions, I gave that wench a silver tael and especially waited for them to leave before returning."

"Yes." Jin Lan nodded his head, restraining himself from looking at the bed, she pulled Bi He's hand and was about to leave, "I can't fall asleep anyway, why don't you accompany me to walk around."

Bi He had carefully looked at Jin Lan just now, and although her face was pale, she looked to be in good spirits, but when she held her hand, he realised that her palm was cold. She could not help but be anxious, and immediately stopped her footsteps, "Miss, wait!"

"What's wrong?" Jin Lan was shocked, thinking that Bi He had discovered something, she looked at her anxiously.

Bi He smiled at Jin Lan, then walked to the side of the wooden chest and opened the cage placed on Xiao Qi, which contained Jin Lan's clothes. She took out a thin cotton satin cape embroidered with green calyx plum blossoms from the lotus root, shook the cape as she walked, and then threw it over Jin Lan's shoulders, "Although it is the end of summer, the wind on the mountain is much colder than in the city. Young lady has always been delicate, it is better to wear more if you want to go out and enjoy the scenery."

Jin Lan lowered his eyes, looking at his ten fingers that were grabbing the silk ribbons with a complicated expression on his face. Bi He treated her extremely well, no matter what he did, he always liked her. As a result, in her past life, he had become her most trusted servant. However, the scene before her death made it hard for her to forget. The dark red bloodstain …

Bi He's movements were brisk, and in a short while she had already tied up a fine knot and tied up her cape, and then she reached out and straightened the cloaks on Jin Lan's shoulders, her gaze sweeping across his collar, and suddenly exclaimed out loud, before locking onto the skin on the inside of Jin Lan's collar, "Miss, why is your neck red?"

"Huh?" Jin Lan subconsciously held onto his neck, and raised his head, but when he saw Bi He's probing gaze, he realized that he had lost control of himself. An unnatural expression appeared on her face as she explained, "Maybe, maybe he was bitten by a mosquito."

"Is that so?" Bi He was at a loss. Although there were many mosquitoes on the mountain, but the house was neat and tidy, and when she first entered, she could smell a faint scent of fragrant jade, how could there be mosquitoes? However, she still nodded her head and did not pursue the matter.

"Yes." Jin Lan loosened his grip on his neck and nodded confidently, but his tone was obviously lacking in confidence. "Let's go inside." As he turned around, he subconsciously glanced at the bed from the corner of his eyes. The green silk curtain seemed to be perfectly integrated, and other than the occasional gentle sway of the curtain in the wind, no other movements could be seen.

Bi He followed Jin Lan out the door, and the two walked along the corridor on the left. The Madame SHen's house was located on the right side of Jin Lan, so Jin Lan chose to go left to avoid danger from affecting her.

Jin Lan didn't say where he was going. He just walked on aimlessly, step by step, at a leisurely pace. Every once in a while, a cool breeze would come from behind her. A sweet smell that was faintly discernible lingered on the tip of her nose.

This taste... Did he always follow? Jin Lan wanted to look back, but he didn't dare take the risk. After passing through the gate of the East District, she thought for a moment before walking towards the back of the mountain.

The Lingji Temple was built on top of a mountain, and the rear mountain was a cliff. No one could enter the temple from the back mountain. Furthermore, the monks in the temple rarely turned a single blade of grass or tree on the back of the mountain. As a result, the grass and trees on the back of the mountain were lush, strange, and rugged. Most importantly, at this time, very few people would go to the back mountain.

Perhaps it was because he was walking outside, but Jin Lan's heart gradually calmed down. Naturally, he could clearly see many things that he had overlooked earlier due to his nervousness and fear.

That person did not want her life, right? Otherwise, he would not have let go of her hand at that time, so what if there was Bi He outside? If he could kill one, he could naturally kill the second. He could only do it to intimidate her and to prevent her from causing unnecessary trouble. Furthermore, he had probably made arrangements to hide in that room. The only person who could do anything to them was that little Shame, Kong Ming!

No wonder her mother and her room were separated by a distance. It must have been because she was young that she had purposely hidden them in her room. She didn't expect to be found out in the end.

Then, the reason why he knew that he was a young lady of the Patrol of the Salt Clan's history was probably because he had investigated her in advance.

Kong Ming's little Sha Mi should not dare to act so rashly, and the person behind him was most likely the host of his Lingji Temple, the Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu.

However … Jin Lan frowned. How could Inspector Jiang Nan enter the temple to search? Not to mention the rest, the Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu s were respected, even the Emperor had treated them with respect. The plaque of the temple was mentioned by the Emperor himself, how could a mere patrolman dare to search the temple so blatantly? Among them, it must have been the Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu who gave the order.

If they wanted to hide him and at the same time agree to search the temple, what was the Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu planning? Jin Lan rubbed his throbbing forehead. Just what kind of trouble had she gotten herself into?

"Miss, after walking for so long, are you tired? "Why don't we go back and have some fast food in a little while?" Bi He who was silent along the way saw Jin Lan's tiredness and couldn't help but ask.

"Huh?" Only then did Jin Lan recover his senses. Upon closer inspection, the two had already reached the back mountain.

Looking around, you can see that the surrounding shade is like a canopy, birds are singing softly, the scenery is very beautiful. However, she was not in the mood to appreciate it. She sniffed slightly and was surprised to find that the sweet smell lingering at the tip of her nose had disappeared!

He's gone? Jin Lan stopped moving and stood where he was, pretending to enjoy the scenery. After a long while, he did not smell that scent again, so he was certain that that person had left. Just in case, she gritted her teeth and suddenly turned around to scan the area behind her.

After confirming that there was no one around, she could not hold on any longer. She struggled to move to the side of a large rock and plopped down on it.

Bi He exclaimed: "Miss!" He hurried forward to see if she was hurt.

Jin Lan shook his head and said softly, "I'm fine."

Perhaps it was because she had suddenly relaxed her taut heartstrings, but she felt a little dizzy and her gaze immediately became unfocused. However, in just a short hour, she had experienced a life and death battle. The scene just now flashed through his mind. Until now, Jin Lan still had some lingering fear. Regardless of whether it was that person or his wife, as long as she didn't handle it properly, she would be smashed into smithereens and would never be able to stand up again.

Jin Lan's wandering gaze fell into Bi He's eyes. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then asked softly: "Miss, do you have something on your mind? This servant feels that since she was sent into the room, this lady has become a bit absent-minded. "

"Maybe he's really tired." Jin Lan looked deeply at Bi He, his lips slightly pouted, as if he had something he wanted to say. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gave a long sigh.

It was indeed a little late for them to arrive at Lingji Temple today, but before this, they had already sent people to the temple and made arrangements. Although it was a little cold inside, it would be alright once the window was opened. Bi He even ordered a piece of sandalwood to disperse the smell of moisture in the room.

When she was talking with Bi He, she was sitting on a chair by the window. When the wind blew, she smelled a sweet smell, and most importantly, this sweetness was mixed with a familiar smell!

This scent was exactly the same as the one she had smelled in the Madame SHen's medicine bowl before. And the first time she smelled this smell was from her previous life, when she died with dark red blood.

Perhaps she died from this poison in her previous life, so she was especially sensitive to its smell after her rebirth. Even if it was just a sliver, she would still be able to smell it.

So it was this scent that betrayed him and put her in a dangerous situation that she would never be able to recover from.

Even though she had never seen his face before, based on that voice, the voice that had once made her daydream was now certain that it was him!

But even if he did, what could he do? At this moment, there was no love nor hate in her heart. What was on her mind was not her past feelings, but something else.

That was, three years later, he was still alive. He had even lived up to the age of her!

This meant that the poison could be cured. The Madame SHen is saved!
