After returning from Chu Yixuan's room, Situ Mantiao sat in the courtyard in a daze.
Although she was full of confidence when she said those words, she knew how difficult it was.
When Lian Xin was killed, she was in the Heaven Prison and knew nothing. Now, she had no clues at all, so she had no way to start.
"Wangfei, it's cold outside. Why don't you go in first?”
Xiao Lian said worriedly as she stood beside her with an embroidered flower in her hand.
Situ Mantiao didn't pay much attention to it. He casually glanced at it and found it familiar.
"What is that thing in your hand?"
"What are you talking about?"
Xiao Lian placed the things in her hands on the stone table."This is what Lianxin left behind. I think it's useless, so I plan to throw it away first!”
"Don't move!"
Before Xiao Lian could finish her sentence, Situ Mantiao shouted at her impatiently and angrily.
"How did you put these things in the past? Now, put them back according to the distance. If I feel that there's anything wrong with them, I'll hold you responsible.”
Perhaps Situ Mantiao's voice was too ruthless, but she was obviously shocked. After hearing her words, she turned around and walked into the room without any hesitation.
Situ Mantian looked at her back and sighed helplessly.
She seemed to be even colder than before.
Lian Xin was a huge blow to her. She did not belong to this era in the first place. In the future, it would be very rare for her to be so serious to others.
"Wangfei, I…I put them back.”
After a while, Xiao Lian walked to Situ Mantian's side with a pitiful expression.
Situ Mantiao hummed lightly and did not say anything else.
She didn't know who to trust.
She didn't trust anyone now.
"You can go and rest first. If there's anything, I'll call you.”
It was time for her to calm down and think about how to find out more about Lian Xin.
"Wangfei, I've already instructed that I must stay by your side and serve you well.”
Xiao Lian didn't seem to want to leave and stood there in a daze.
Situ Mantiao felt a little helpless. Was she being watched by someone arranged by Chu Yixuan?
"Then come over."
Situ Manyao suddenly thought of something and waved at her.
Although Xiao Lian didn't know why she had suddenly changed her attitude towards her, she didn't dare to disobey and moved to her side as if she was afraid.
"When did you enter the residence?"
"Replying to wangfei, Xiao Lian has already been in wangfei for several days. Before this, she had been working in the laundry room. Yesterday, wangye instructed me to come to the east courtyard to serve wangfei.”
Situ Mantiao nodded, his tone was actually filled with a sense of patient guidance.
"Then do you know about Lianxin?"
"The female servant only heard a little and doesn't know much.”
Situ Mantiao had wanted to ask, but she had never thought that she would actually know. She was delighted.
"A little is a little. Tell me, what have you heard?”
"A few days ago, when I was washing clothes in the laundry room, I saw Lian Xin.”
"The laundry room?"
Situ Manyao was in disbelief. Lian Xin was her personal servant girl, and she only needed to serve her. She didn't need to go to those places to do those vulgar things.
"Yes."
Xiao Lian seemed to be a little afraid of Situ Manyao. Seeing her excited look, she couldn't help but shrink her neck.
"At that time, the person standing beside her was Lady Qingluan's servant girl, Ah Lian. The two of them talked about something, and Lian Xin willingly washed the clothes.”
Situ Mantian's heart skipped a beat. Could this matter be related to the Blue Luan?
"What did the people in the residence say about Lian Xin's death?”
"Someone from the residence?"
Xiao Lian tilted her neck and thought for a while before slowly speaking.
"I heard from the people in the residence that Lian Xin had sex with a man because she was cheap. She only thought of jumping into the lake to commit suicide after she found out that she was pregnant.”
Situ Mantian slammed her hand on the stone table.
"I didn't expect that the people in the residence would spread compassion in private. If I don't help her uphold justice, how can I face her!”
Since Xiao Lian said that Lian Xin had met the Blue Luan before she died, then whether or not the matter of not hanging up on you had anything to do with the Blue Luan, she had to go find her first.
Otherwise, she really had no way to start this matter.
"Xiao Lian, I'm going to find…"
Before she could finish speaking, she saw someone at the door from the corner of her eye. She subconsciously turned her eyes and could not help but smile when she saw who it was.
It seemed that the two of them had some tacit understanding.
When the Blue Luan saw the smile on Situ Manyao's face, it felt an inexplicable fear.
Did he come at the wrong time today?
Yesterday, when she heard from Lu Yuan that the princess consort had returned, she had a good heart and decided to come over to take a look.
"Wangfei, is your body alright?”
She smiled faintly, but her eyes were plotting something else.
"Lady Qingluan, you came at the right time. I was still preparing to make a trip, but you came before I even got up.”
The Blue Luan was stunned for a moment. After it reacted, it looked at her strangely.
"Princess Consort, you were looking for me."
Situ Mantiao smiled, but her eyes were fixed on her.
"That's right. I heard that Lian Xin had the most contact with you when she was alive?”
"So wangfei is here for this matter!”
The Blue Luan pretended to understand, but her heart shook violently. She didn't think that this princess would really investigate the cause of Lian Xin's death.
It seemed that she should be careful.
Situ Mantian didn't say anything. She just looked at her and waited for her to speak.
The smile on the Blue Luan's face did not change, but she was thinking about how to phrase it.
"That day, wangfei followed wangye into the palace to attend the emperor's birthday banquet and never returned. Lian Xin cried in the east courtyard every day. I saw that she was really pitiful, so I asked her to follow me. When wangfei returned, I would come back to the east courtyard to serve you, but Lian Xin refused, so I gave up.”
"Is this why the princess is blaming me?" The Blue Luan looked at Situ Manyao.”
Situ Mantiao looked at her expression carefully, but he couldn't see anything wrong. He couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Could it be that she wasn't the one who killed Lian Xin?
"But I heard someone say that the servant girl of the Blue Luan brought Lian Xin to the laundry room to do some work? Is it real or fake?"
The Blue Luan's expression changed when she heard Situ Manyao's words. She didn't know what to say.
"Princess Consort, it's like this!"
The servant girl beside Blue Luan saw that Blue Luan could not answer and hurriedly interrupted.
"Lian Xin took wangfei's clothes and said she wanted to wash them for you. When you return from the imperial prison, you can change into clean clothes.”
Situ Manyao snorted coldly.
"Qingluan, you really don't know how to teach a servant girl. When the masters are talking, how can a servant girl like her have the right to speak?”
The Blue Luan turned to look at Ah Lian. The latter instructed her to kneel down in front of Situ Mantian.
"It's Ah Lian who doesn't know the rules.”
Situ Mantiao harrumphed coldly and didn't say anything else. However, he wasn't sure if the Blue Luan master and servant were telling the truth or a lie.
After the Blue Luan master and servant left, Situ Mantian sat there alone in a daze.
Why didn't Lian Xin leave any clues behind? If she continued to investigate without any clues, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. She didn't know how long she would have to investigate.
"Wang Fei, since you have already asked Lady Qingluan, why not ask the other three Furens as well? Whether it is true or not, you should at least have a bottom line in your heart.”
Situ Mantian's heart lit up when she heard Xiao Lian's words!
She was right.
Anyway, he had no clue now. Why not go and test the other extreme madams first?
If she didn't get any useful clues, she wouldn't be at a disadvantage. It would just be a waste of time. If she got some useful clues, it would undoubtedly be a surprise.
Situ Mantiao looked at Smiling Face with admiration before walking towards Greencloud Pavilion.
Let's go meet Green Garden first.
The Greencloud Pavilion was exactly the same as before she left. Situ Manyao glanced at it without any reluctance and walked into the inner room.
Lu Yuan must have received the news. After dressing up, she came out of the room. When she saw Situ Manyao, she first sized her up.
He didn't expect her to come out of the imperial prison unscathed.
"Princess Consort, why did you come to Greencloud Pavilion today to look for Green Garden?”
Situ Mantian glanced at her impatiently.
Although the Blue Luan was the kind of person who would show joy on her face, that Lvyuan was really too good at pretending.
On the surface, she looked weak and fragile, but in fact, she was very scheming.
Situ Mantiao looked at her warily. This kind of person was actually the most terrifying. Who knew when he would stab her in the back?
"It's nothing."
Situ Mantiao found a seat and sat down with Xiao Lian beside her.
"Does Green Garden know about Lianxin?”
"Lian Xin?"
Lu Yuan frowned and glanced at Xiao Lian behind her.
"What's wrong with wangfei? She found a servant girl and came to me. Isn't Lianxin dead?”
She sat down opposite Situ Mantian.
"I know that Lian Xin has a good relationship with wangfei. I hope wangfei won't be too sad. She has just been released from the imperial prison, so she needs to take good care of her body.”
"You don't have to worry about this. I won't be in the wangfu these few days. Compared to you four madams, you all can't wait for me to not come back.”
"Princess Consort, what do you mean by this? Don't misunderstand Green Garden…"
"Don't talk. Listen to me slowly.”
Situ Manyao interrupted her impatiently.
"Since Lu Yuan knows that I have a good relationship with Lian Xin, she must know that I will not leave her alone. She died in the lake for no reason, so I naturally have to investigate for her.”
" Princess Consort, are you threatening the Green Residence by telling me these things? Princess Consort, please don't misunderstand. The death of the Green Residence has nothing to do with me…"
"I don't care what you're talking about. I only care about what I've found. If you're related to Green Garden, I won't let you off.”
After saying that, he left without even looking at her.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
