Ye Lin was very satisfied with Jin Lan's obedience, so he asked her a few more questions before letting her go.

After walking all the way back to the Inner Court, Mu Lan could not help but ask: "Miss, why would the old master suddenly mention Young Master Meng?"

Jin Lan held back his anger and glared at her unhappily. "Who knows what he's planning?" He paused for a moment, then began to ponder.

Even if Ye Lin wanted to invite Madam Meng and Meng Ruhan, there was no need to specially ask Meng Zhanxuan first right?

Based on what happened just now, if she had replied that she did not recognize Meng Zhanxuan, would Ye Lin not have mentioned about what happened afterwards?

No, absolutely not!

Thinking up to here, Jin Lan couldn't help but secretly shake his head. Although he loathed Ye Lin, he couldn't deny that his own father was a meticulous person.

That meant that Ye Lin had long since known about her relationship with Meng Zhanxuan!

So dangerous! If she had made the wrong choice just now, it would most likely have caused Ye Lin to become dissatisfied and become suspicious.

She and Meng Zhanxuan had only met twice, once at the Meng Mansion realm, and the second time was when they were passing through Xuzhou. These two times were both at a distance from Ye Family, and the people beside them were basically all on their own side, so how could Ye Lin …

Suddenly, she thought of Bi He.

"Miss?" Mu Lan looked at Jin Lan in puzzlement, only to see her expression turning ugly, and thought that she had said something wrong, "This servant's mouth is broken, I hope miss does not get angry."

"I'm fine." Jin Lan took a deep breath, then forcefully suppressed the raging waves in his heart. Ye Lin disdained reaching his hand into her room, so other than the old lady, who else could stand so close to Ye Lin in the entire Ye Family?

That's right, if Bi He was a person from the Concubine Shao, with her personality, how could she not have made a move when knowing all these?

Only the old lady had purposely stayed put in order to preserve her reputation in the Ye Family.

Jin Lan felt a chill in her heart. Bi He was the old lady's person, so wouldn't the person who poisoned him in her previous life be the old lady?

However, at the bottom of her heart, there was always an indescribable voice urging her on. The old lady's greatest concern, other than Ye Lin, was the reputation and prestige of Ye Family; she was merely ranked third, and might even be a little later …

It was true that they loved each other, but the marriage between her and the Marquis Anyuan Palace in her previous life was something that the old lady and Ye Lin had done all they could to make it happen.

A wave of cold air rushed up from the bottom of his feet to the back of his head.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Seeing that, Mu Lan immediately went forward to help her sit on the railing, but when they were in contact with her pale white face and cold little hands, she was shocked, "This servant will immediately call for someone!"

"Don't go!" Jin Lan immediately pulled on Mu Lan's sleeves and shook his head with difficulty, "There's no rush, maybe I'm tired, I'll rest for a while."

"But …" Mu Lan still wanted to say something, but seeing that Jin Lan's eyes were determined, she agreed. However, she deliberately shifted from Jin Lan's left to right, using her body to block the cold wind.

Jin Lan slowly loosened his grip, but he was smiling wryly in his heart.

What was going on? You still can't let go of the events of your past life?

He thought that after dying once, what he should have seen through should have been seen through a long time ago, but why was he still hoping for something that shouldn't exist in his heart?

So what if she was the direct daughter of Ye Family? In such a critical moment, for the sake of Ye Family, how could she be any different from an ordinary servant in the eyes of an old lady?

Jin Lan's face revealed a faint ridicule. Perhaps, she understood Ye Lin's true plan.

"Mother's body has not fully recovered. I'm afraid that Aunt and the Sister Ruhan will not be able to pass the time!" She raised her head and looked at Mu Lan, and suddenly smiled faintly.

Mu Lan was startled, suddenly she felt that there was something different about the peace in the Second Miss, but no matter how she thought about it, she could not find anything.

"Alright, it's about time for mother to get up. Let's go back!" Jin Lan withdrew his gaze and slowly stood up. His slightly narrowed eyes were filled with coldness and calmness.

Ye Lin told her to invite them, and she would do as he said, but what would happen next was unrelated to her, and the corners of Jin Lan's mouth curved slightly.

Facing the setting sun, that slim figure cast her on the bluestone path. She grew longer and longer, but her steps became firmer and firmer.

When he returned to the pavilion, Lady Shen had already risen and was sitting on the soft couch in the outer room, eating porridge from a swallow's nest. Seeing Jin Lan enter, she placed a blue and white porcelain bowl on top of a few small drops of water from a black carved flower.

Jin Lan had a smile on his face as he bowed first. Then, he walked to the other end of the line and sat down, "Yes, father told daughter to choose a good day and send a card to invite Aunt and Sister Ruhan to visit and enjoy the flowers." In order to prevent the Madame SHen from worrying too much, she had purposely concealed this part with Meng Zhanxuan.

Please ask Big Sister Qin and Ru Han to admire the flowers? Madame SHen frowned, how could she suddenly think of this? And for Lan Er to post … " What else did your father say? "

The Madame SHen was truly worthy of being Ye Lin's concubine. After pondering for a moment, he immediately mentioned the idea.

Jin Lan tried his best to act as if nothing had happened. Smiling, he said, "It's nothing for me. Father just asked about some trivial matters before my daughter left."

Madame SHen nodded her head. Although she still had some suspicions, her tightened eyebrows clearly loosened up, and she ordered Mama Zhu to set up a meal as she said to Jin Lan: "Rest early today. Tomorrow morning, the old lady will send someone to invite you."

"Daughter knows." Neither her mother nor she would be let off easily. The old lady definitely wouldn't wait for them to come knocking and ask, otherwise she would be at a disadvantage.

Even though he said those words, Jin Lan couldn't fall asleep after washing himself in the bed by the time it was time to turn on the light.

In her heart, she still could not let go of Su Xin's matter.

When the Mama Tang on duty saw her tossing and turning, she thought that she had attracted another nightmare.

It was shiny, without even the slightest bit of sleepiness. Mama Tang tweaked her quilt, which had almost turned into silk, "Miss, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Mama." Jin Lan simply flipped himself over and sat up, patting the edge of the bed as he said to Mama Tang. "Sit, I have something that I want to talk to Mama about."

"What does the girl want to say?" The Mama Tang raised the blanket and closed it tightly. Then, she sat down on the edge of the bed and covered the two of them with a wide green cloth.

Mama Tang was her milk Mama. She had been in the palace for a long time, so she might know something.

Jin Lan thought for a moment, then looked at Mama Tang and asked seriously: "I wonder what Mama thinks of Su Xin?"

Su Xin? The Mama Tang frowned, she looked at Jin Lan in doubt, why did the girl ask Su Xin that? But she still opened her mouth and said: "This servant and Su Xin are not acquainted, and would occasionally bump into each other, but I heard from the people around that Su Xin is not easy to get along with."

Not easy to get along with? Jin Lan's brows slightly rose as she said puzzledly, "I remember that Su Xin is always welcoming people with a smile."

Mama Tang laughed, "Since you are still so young, you can't tell the difference between a good and bad girl. Some people have a straight face and a bad heart, but there are some that laugh all day long, but their hearts are completely black! It is only natural that no one is close to her. "

That's right, the lower ranked they were, the better they would be at reading people's eyes and trying to figure out their thoughts. Su Xin's nature, was most likely known by her and her servants who came into contact with him.

Jin Lan felt depressed, "Could it be that there's no one who has a good relationship with Su Xin?"

Mama Tang suddenly realized something. So this was what the lady wanted to ask. She thought about it carefully, then said hesitantly: "There might be one."

Jin Lan's eyes suddenly lit up, and immediately grabbed Mama Tang's hand and asked anxiously: "Who is it?"

"It seems to be Cui Wen, who was in front of Concubine Ning." The Mama Tang was not very sure either, "Once, this servant accidentally saw the two of them talking in the garden, and it looked like they were very close. But the last time Cui Wen brought something else into the house, it had already been sold off by the old lady. "

She could no longer hear what the Mama Tang said after that. The only words she could hear were the three words "Concubine Ning"!

That's right, Su Xin is only sixteen or seventeen right now. In other words, thirteen years ago, she was only a three or four year old child.

Furthermore, a three or four year old child, without the protection of his family, how could he safely grow up?

No matter if it was buying servant girls or Attendant s, Ye Mansion had always only bought young girls who were eight years old or older. Su Xin would definitely not be younger than eight years old when she entered the Palace! But where was she in those years?

If everything had been arranged in secret, then these questions would naturally be solved on their own.

Using Su Xin's hatred to bury her by Concubine Shao's side, she slowly induced Concubine Shao to commit such a heinous crime, and then used her own hands to reveal everything! No matter how stable the position of the Concubine Shao was, it would all disintegrate in one fell swoop!

And Su Xin's actions, if his mother really fell to Concubine Shao, then the fact that Concubine Shao was born prematurely, or even gave birth to a stillborn child, would all be blamed on his mother!

No wonder the third sister had specially come over that day. It turned out Concubine Ning had already had this intention!

And that Cui Wen, maybe the matter with the Snow Root Iris was also …

Jin Lan's complexion alternated between green and white. Even if she had suspected the Concubine Ning before, she never would have thought that this soft and timid aunt would actually set up such a flawless trap!

If it were not for the fact that she was worried about Su Xin and refused to let him go, she feared that all of this would have been easily fooled!

"What did you think of?" Mama Tang helped Jin Lan grow up, so he naturally knew her better than anyone else.

Jin Lan shook his head. These were all her guesses. Without any evidence, it was impossible to be accurate. However, if everything was real … Her breath caught in her throat. "This is bad!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a faint clamor coming from outside!

Mama Tang and Jin Lan looked at each other, then quickly lifted the curtain and opened the door. "Miss, it sounds like it came from the old lady's side."

Sure enough, Jin Lan's heart shrank, and said anxiously: "Quickly tell Mu Lan to run over, and don't spread the news, just quietly look for the old gatekeeper. No need to ask anyone else, come back immediately regardless of whether there's any news or not!"

She had always been purposely doing favors for the servants who were on guard duty, so that she could be of use right now.

Jin Lan anxiously paced back and forth in the house, and after almost the time it took to make a cup of tea, Mu Lan ran back breathlessly, her eyes filled with fear, "Miss, Su Xin, who was locked in the woodshed, is dead meat!"
