Chapter 322 How could it be him?
A month is too long to wait.
No one knows what will happen tomorrow, or even... whether she can walk out of this restaurant safely today.
So instead of passively waiting for the other party to make a move, she would take the initiative to use her inner voice to tempt the other party to make a test move.
Tracy hurried away and hurried back, and nodded slightly to Lu Xinran as she entered the door.
Lu Xinlan looked at the actions of the master and servant and already had some guesses in her mind.
She pulled her wrist, applying a little force with her fingertips.
"Don't mess around."
"I have my measure."
He took her along and they walked back to the round table together.
Zhang Shui'er listened to the two of them playing charades, and the only thing she cared about was what the literary club's gathering would be like.
As soon as Song Junyan finished the morning court, he received news from the mansion and learned that Lu Xinran had left the mansion and rushed to Ruyi Tower.
He hesitated for only a moment before deciding to go to Ruyi Tower first, wait for her party with Lu Xinlan and the others to end, escort her back to the palace, and then go to the government office to do his work.
As a result, he was stopped by his men who had just arrived halfway.
In the early morning hours, two unidentified bodies were found in South City.
The bodies looked horrible, and they must have been abused to a great extent. Because they were found in a downtown area, and when the people in the city were getting up and going out, the two bodies were seen by many people, causing considerable panic.
When Song Junyan received the news, he knew that he had to rush to the place where the body was found immediately.
But he couldn't just ignore Lu Xinran, so he ordered Ding San to bring another team of secret guards over there, and only then did he dare to rush to South City.
Not long after Cuizhu came back, Lu Xinran saw Ding San's name in the system.
She also asked the system to help her figure out why only he appeared.
"Host, something happened in South City."
"Yes, I saw it. Today, the literary society had a gathering. First, the Dali Temple encountered a difficult case, and now someone dumped a body in the downtown area of South City. The coincidences among these things make people think too much."
She has now confirmed that Mr. Song, the leader of this literary society, is Prince Bingzhen.
But I still can't figure out what happened today.
As she was thinking, her eyes fell on Lu Xinlan, and her eyebrows jumped suddenly.
If Prince Bingzhen is really as smart and scheming as Eunuch Fu remembers, then was Lu Xinlan's behavior today also part of his calculations?
This person went through such a long journey, didn't he just want to lure her here?
"Tongzi, can you detect whether there are additives in the food?"
The system was speechless for a long while before a few pamphlets popped out from the corner. "Host, this is the pamphlet of the clerks and the shopkeeper here. Do you want to take a look?"
"If I flip through the pamphlet, my true feelings will be revealed. I don't want to alert the enemy now."
"Oh, let me take a look."
The system searched for keywords very diligently, and after a while, it replied hesitantly, "Host, Tongzi did not find any problems."
No problem... Then why did Prince Bingzhen lure her out?
Lu Xinran looked at Zhang Shuier, who was eager to go to the stairs to watch the fun, and said, "Let's go and take a look together."
Since he had gone to so much trouble to lure her out, and the other party probably didn't know yet that she had discovered his biggest secret, then she would just follow his arrangements and take the initiative to go out.
Zhang Shui'er was already unable to sit still, and upon hearing her say that, she immediately stood up and ordered someone to open the door.
"Didn't you hear the noise down there? Their party has already started and it seems quite lively."
Zhang Shuier grabbed her arm and went out impatiently.
Lu Xinlan was frightened and hurriedly followed them.
Only Tang Wanrou hesitated again and again, and finally decided not to join in the fun.
She is different from them. She does not have Lu Xinlan's courage and means, nor Zhang Shui'er's recklessness, nor Lu Xinran's special means. All she can do is to stay within her limits and not let others find fault with her.
A lot of people had gathered at the stairs, all leaning forward to look down.
Zhang Shuier and Lu Xinran hurried over. Someone turned his head and saw Lu Xinran. He shuddered in his heart and immediately covered his face and hid back in the private room, fearing that Lu Xinran would remember his appearance and name.
They left in a hurry, leaving just enough space for them to get closer and look down.
The party below has already begun, and a gentle voice is slowly stating the purpose of this party.
The man had his back to them, and Lu Xinran could only tell from his back that the person who was speaking was thin and not tall.
What Eunuch Tongfu said in his booklet was that the other party was weak and had to rely on medicine to stay alive, which was not too far from the truth.
While she was thinking, the person who was speaking below suddenly turned around and looked at her.
The moment Lu Xinran and Lu Xinlan saw each other, their pupils suddenly shrank.
This person...they have seen him before!
Although they had only met a few times and the other party had never shown any abnormality, they all remembered this face.
"Why is it the Yun family?"
Lu Xinran murmured, and Zhang Shuier looked down again in confusion, "What Yun family?"
Her question was destined to go unanswered, as the two sisters took a step back and quickly returned to the private room.
No wonder!
No wonder this man has to rely on medicine to prolong his life, but he can still live until now.
Relying on the Yun family's connections and financial resources, it was not difficult for him to find medicine and famous doctors for himself.
Everything he wants to do requires financial support. By staying with Yun Qiong, as long as he gains Yun Qiong's trust, he can use the Yun family's property without alerting Yun Qiong.
She held Lu Xinlan's wrist tightly and said, "Tell me, do my uncle and grandfather know about the literary society?"
Lu Xinlan's expression was also extremely ugly at this time, "Maybe he knows, maybe he doesn't."
She knew that Yun Qiong had always intended to make the Yun family regret pursuing a career in officialdom, but the path to imperial examinations required not only talent but also connections.
Who knows how this guy who goes by the alias Yunsong convinced Yunqiong!
"Let's go back."
Lu Xinlan stood in front of the door, grabbed Lu Xinran's wrist with his backhand and prepared to take her away.
Now everyone's attention in the building was focused on the party on the second floor, and it would be safest for them to leave in front of everyone at this moment.
Lu Xinran had obviously thought of this as well. The system just told her that Yunsong's booklet had been loaded.
She could go back and check before making further contact with the other party.
Seeing that they were about to leave as soon as they returned to the private room, Zhang Shui'er and Tang Wanrou hurriedly took their servants to chase after them.
"Excuse me, Princess Wei. Our Master wants to speak to you for a few words."
As soon as they reached the second floor, a middle-aged man in a brown linen robe blocked their way.
Lu Xinran narrowed her eyes slightly, trying to decide whether to refuse when the thin Wen Songying walked over.
"Madam, Princess Wei, the master is in the private room and would like to invite you two to come over and reminisce about the past."
It was as if the glance back just now had never happened. Yunsong smiled kindly and with a bit of flattery, exactly the same as in the past.
But under his gaze, the hairs on Lu Xinran's back stood up.
Her intuition told her that she could not enter the private room the man was talking about.
