She declined Chu Anxi's suggestion to send someone to escort her back to the palace, and Jiu Ranling made an excuse to sneak back to the inn. She knew that she would inevitably be suspected by Meloshu and Nalan Xice when she returned.
Along the way, she lowered her head in deep thought. The Lu Sect had captured Mei Luoxiu and secretly punished him. Why did he have to be so serious with a little Tai Ling? Even if he was wary of Mei Luoxiu's background and prevented him from climbing over his head in the future, this reason was still far-fetched. How could the Lu Sect know that Mei Luo's family would not find out about him because of this matter? At that time, he would be the one making a fuss.
And she didn't know who knocked her out in the Imperial City. If it was because she had discovered the secret, why didn't they kill her to silence her? Was it really just a coincidence that she came to Tianzhou Dungeon?
Just as Jiu Ran Ling, who was deep in thought, reached the second floor of the inn, Nalan Xice, who had been waiting for her, invited her into the room.
"Aren't you doing something shameful? How dare you flaunt it so openly?”Jiu Ran Ling smiled faintly.
"Miss Qian, Xi is a businessman.”Nalan Xice sternly rejected her teasing and then pulled her to Meloshu's bed.
The wounds on Mei Luoxiu's body had obviously been treated, and he looked much better than when he was in the dungeon. He was leaning back in his seat, sizing her up.
"I thought something was wrong. I just came over to see him.”Jiu Ran Ling shouted in boredom and sat at the table to drink tea.
Nalan Xice looked at her coldly.”
"Women." Jiu Ran Ling joked with a smile in her eyes.
"You…"
"Miss Qian, Brother Nalan and I have thought about it for a long time, but we really can't remember which wealthy family's surname is Qian.”said Mei Luoxiu quietly.
"Indeed, I don't remember any rich family with the surname Qian.”Jiu Ran Ling nodded.
"Then how did you know Young General Chu?”Mei Luoxiu was puzzled.
"Although I was not born into a wealthy family, I am still a distant relative of the current Supreme Yin. Ever since I was young, Taiyin doted on me and taught me to be well-educated. It was also thanks to him that I got to know some of the nobles in the Imperial Court. It wasn't anything worth bragging about. It was just that he had no other choice this time, so he wanted to go to the Prefecture General's Estate to take a look. He didn't expect to run into Young General Chu. He was really lucky.”Jiu Ran Ling used the excuse she had thought of before.
However, if one were to investigate further, she was not lying. Madam Tai Yin was her mother's aunt, and they were indeed relatives.
Mei Luoxiu thought about what she said but didn't say anything.
Nalan Xice saw that there was nothing wrong with her words and thought that this woman would not play tricks on this matter. It was not difficult to find out if she was a relative of the Supreme Yin. However, he had a strange feeling in his heart. He felt that the smiling woman in front of him was not as simple as she looked.
"I've already said that. If you don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do.”Jiu Ranling saw that the two men had no reaction. She sighed and lowered her face, adopting the policy of mourning soldiers." I bumped into Master Nalan plotting to rescue Master Mei Luo. I was almost killed." I saved Young Master Mei Luo and you guys don't appreciate it. Sigh, it can only be considered a bad life for this little girl. I can't blame anyone else.”
Mei Luoxiu couldn't help but laugh. I almost got scared by you when I saw you acting so righteous in the dungeon.”
Most of the wariness in Nalan Xice's eyes had been replaced. He looked at Jiu Ran Ling and said lightly,"If Miss Qian is from the Tai Yin Manor, then you are Xi's distinguished guest." Xi had only admired three people in his life: Lord Taiyin, the Fourth Prince Jiu Ranyou, and Young Master Yunqing of the Qianli Clan in Jin Province.”
Jiu Ran Ling's heart trembled. "Young Master Nalan, you really have keen eyes." These three people, even I have to be convinced.”
Nalan Xice smiled.
Seeing this, Jiu Ranling asked Nalan Xice,""Since I've already done what I promised you, have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to do?”
"It's only been half a day, do you think I'm a god?”Nalan Xice chuckled, as if laughing at her naivety.
"Then let me know immediately when you have any news. Your room is really boring. This lady will go back to her room to rest.”Jiu Ran Ling said and swaggered away.
"Xi, what do you think?" After Jiu Ran Ling left, Mei Luoxiu asked Nalan Xice.
"Quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit." Nalan Xice smiled lightly." This woman doesn't know her background, but she definitely can't be underestimated.”
"I think so too." Mei Luoxiu agreed." The aura she has doesn't seem like something an ordinary family should have. The Taiyin family actually raised such a daughter?”
Mei Luoxiu thought about it and finally remembered the strange behavior of Jiu Ran Ling in the dungeon. He shivered but didn't tell Nalan Xice.
"Let us wait and see. It's still too early to make a conclusion."
————
"You said there's news about Pin 'er?" Three days later, Nalan Xice's attendant brought the information that Jiu Ran Ling wanted.
"Yes." Nalan Xice sipped his tea lightly.
"Where is she?" Jiu Ran Ling asked anxiously.
"Flower Yard."
"Where is that place?"
"Brothel."
" Brothel?!" Jiuran Ling raised her voice and scowled.
Looking at her lively face, Nalan Xice could not help but laugh. He put down his teacup and explained," This Flower Yard is also a place that is connected to the Lu Faction's interests. The brothel madame is the Lu Faction's mistress, so she naturally colluded with him." Usually, some of the women that Lu Zhan had kidnapped were also from the Flower Yard, so they were naturally in charge of the aftermath. After all, in a brothel full of women, it would not be strange to have one or two more.”
"Hmph, this is really a place that eats people without spitting out bones.”Jiu Ranling smiled coldly." So they took her there to get rid of Pin 'er? It's unknown whether the child is alive or dead.”
"If I can get the news and tell you, then your maidservant must still be alive. However…the situation is worrying."
"Since your men were able to sneak into the Prefecture Capital to save Mei Luoxiu, it's naturally not a problem for them to go to a mere Flower Yard to save him. Moreover, the Lu Faction has already fallen! Why are you still here leisurely?”my feathers are black and I'm choked with anger.
Nalan Xice put on an innocent look and spread his hands.""Miss Qian, you only ordered Xi to find someone, but you didn't say that you wanted to save them.”
" You..." Jiu Ran Ling swore that the person who was smiling like a fox was doing it on purpose!
"If you don't go, I'll go myself!”
Nalan Xice shook his head. Seeing that Jiu Ran Ling rushed out in such a hurry, he sighed and followed her unhurriedly.
