Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1204: The same lineage

Lin Jinyan picked up the cup and drank slowly. The fragrance of jasmine entered her throat and she felt that her fatigue was relieved a lot.

After knowing that Dong'er was taken to the second house, she never intervened. At that time, she thought that if she was not sent to the manor, she might be of some use in the future if she stayed in the second house. Unexpectedly, it was the right decision to keep her.

Ever since she knew that her mother was very likely to die as a result of Liu Yunxiang's plot, she thought of Dong'er again. It just so happened that Dong'er's husband Wang Ping was a gambler, and it was not difficult for him to use his debts to force Dong'er.

In addition, Aunt Jiang, whom she had placed in the second room early on, was highly valued by Liu Yunxiang. With Aunt Jiang's help, it became a natural thing for Dong'er to go find Zhou Yuexue.

As for Zhou Yuexue, she would definitely keep this handle to check and balance Lin Jinyun.

"How's the investigation into my mother going?"

Du Xing looked at Lin Jinyan's expression with concern and caution:

"The midwife who delivered you and the young master has been found. She said that the situation was critical at the time and she didn't have time to think about other things. Plus, it's been a long time, so she can't remember the details...

However, she did have some impression because she saw the soles of the young lady's shoes and felt something was wrong. She said... the soles of the shoes the young lady was wearing at the time were not only smooth and reflective, but also seemed to be thinner than normal soles. "

Lin Jinyan's face turned cold, and her hands on the armrest slowly tightened:

Pregnant women are heavy and what they fear most is falling. They will never be allowed to wear shoes that are easy to slip. It seems that the problem lies with the shoes.

Even if my mother had not been wary of Liu Yunxiang, she was the head of the Lin Mansion at that time, and her shoes could not be hidden close to her body. If Liu Yunxiang wanted to change my mother's shoes without being noticed, she could only bribe the people serving my mother.

After my mother's accident, the Lin family was in chaos. The four maids who came with the dowry blamed themselves endlessly. Two of them followed my mother that day, and the other two were sold out by the furious Liu Yunxiang.

I didn't think about it before, and didn't notice anything wrong. Now that I think about it, those two maids are also half of the general's mansion. How dare Liu Yunxiang interfere? She just took advantage of everyone's grief and took advantage of the chaos to solve the problem.

"Where are the two servants who were sold?"

Du Xing: "Although we have found the whereabouts of one of them, Dong Xue, she has been dead for many years. We are currently investigating the people she had contact with before her death."

Hong Jiu took out the note from his sleeve and said softly:

"After all, Mingye Pavilion has been in Kyoto for a longer time. I took the initiative to ask Uncle An for help. This is the news he just sent me."

Lin Jinyan unfolded it and read it. After a while, she suppressed her anger and said coldly:
"The daughter killed someone, and the father was responsible for cleaning up the mess. They are a father and daughter who are of the same bloodline!"

Du Xing stepped forward and took the note, his expression suddenly changed:
"That Dongxue was actually killed by Minister Liu... This is outrageous! The General's Mansion and the Liu family have never had any grudges, but they are so cruel! I will go back and tell the general!"

"Come back. My uncle and my eldest cousin will be heading north in two days. Don't let them be distracted at this time. I will personally avenge my mother's murder."

Lin Jinyan called out to Du Xing, her eyes cold and filled with hostility.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Hong Jiu took out another letter from his sleeve and said respectfully:
"This letter was written by Boss An, and he said that the young lady should open it in person."

After hearing An Zhixian, Lin Jinyan's anger dissipated a little. She opened the envelope and unfolded the two pages of letter paper.

After reading the first page, Lin Jinyan looked thoughtful. When she read the second page, she looked obviously uncomfortable. She hurriedly folded the letter in half, revealing a guilty conscience that she was afraid others would see:

"Du Xing, go to the general's mansion and tell your eldest cousin to invite the King of Qi to go riding outside the city tomorrow."
