After the Hou family's mistress went crazy, she became the favorite of the entire capital.

Qiu Nan looked at her coldly, "Stand up and speak. My lady is dignified and upright, and she can't imitate your coquettish behavior in the courtyard."

After knowing that the person in front of him was not his master, Qiu Nan really didn't like anything.

No wonder that when she was about to make a move at the entrance of Zhenbao Pavilion, the person who stopped her was not Lin Jinan, the master, but Shu Yan, an outsider.

No wonder Lin Jinan had been neglecting her during this period. It turned out that he was afraid that she would recognize him.

It turns out that the young lady who seemed strange to me has long been replaced by someone else.

Qiu Nan looked at her with disdain, "What's fake is just fake. It's not even comparable to my lady's toes."

Lin Jinan's face felt embarrassed.

"You are so impudent! How dare a lowly slave talk to the master like this!"

Qiu Nan sneered, "You've been called miss for a few days, do you really think of yourself as your master? Since you won't tell me, I'll tell the general and his wife now."

Seeing that Qiunan was about to walk out, Lin Jinan felt anxious and hurriedly called her to stop.

She pointed to her cheek, "You want to know who I am? Come and see for yourself."

Qiu Nan's eyes froze, was it really the human skin mask in Jianghu?
She stepped forward angrily, grabbing Lin Jinan's throat with one hand, and trying to tear off her mask with the other hand. Suddenly there was a stinging pain on her neck, and the feeling of suffocation hit her instantly. Her vision went dark and she almost fell down.

"You bitch, you should have died long ago! If you die, no one will know that I am not Lin Jin'an!"

Because she couldn't breathe, Qiunan suppressed her blush and struggled to pull out the hairpin. In an instant, blood spurted out and splashed on Lin Jinan's ferocious face.

Lin Jinan woke up instantly. After being frightened for a moment, he suddenly reacted, grabbed Qiu Nan's dagger, and stabbed her more than a dozen times.

By the time he was tired enough to stop, Qiunan had run out of energy.

"what!"

Lin Jinan threw away the dagger and ran out of the woodshed in a panic. He recognized the direction of the back door and ran out wearing blood-stained clothes and a bloody face.

She was so flustered that she looked back while running, for fear that the people in the General's Mansion would find out.

Suddenly hitting something, with a "daring" sound, Lin Jinan fell backwards and fell to the ground. Before she could react, there were several sharp swords in front of her, all pointed at her heart.

Lin Jinan's blood was stagnant all over his body, and he didn't even dare to breathe. He bravely looked over and recognized Mo Yuande's face, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, save me!"

She stretched out her hand towards Mo Yuande with a look of horror on her face, as if she wanted to grab a life-saving straw.

Xiao Quanzi stood in front of the prince with a sullen face. He was about to punish her as a traitor when he heard Mo Yuande speak behind him.

"Miss Lin?"

Lin Jinan burst into tears, "Prince save me, someone wants to kill me."

Hearing this, all the guards retreated to the prince's side, protecting him in the middle.

Xiao Quanzi carefully observed his surroundings, fearing that an assassin would appear from any corner and would harm the prince.

Mo Yuande acted calmly. He went over to help Lin Jinan up in person and asked people to check for suspicious people nearby.

"Not far ahead is the General's Mansion. Who dares to kill people near the General's Mansion?"

Lin Jin felt guilty and did not dare to look back. She begged Mo Yuande repeatedly.

"Your Highness, please save me, please save me."

She was covered in blood, pale and trembling.

Mo Yuande patted the back of her hand and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, no one will dare to hurt you as long as you are alone."

She had never met the prince before the palace banquet. She planned to meet the prince at the palace banquet. She originally wanted to cure Shu Wan and implicate the Shu family, but she did not expect that she would be implicated by a strange combination of circumstances.

Now that she met the prince again, Lin Jinan suddenly had an idea. She knelt down and begged: "Your Highness, it is Shu Yan who wants to kill me."

Mo Yuande's eyes darkened, "Jing'an Marquis' Mansion?" Lin Jin'an was not stupid. He didn't dare to drag the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion into the water directly. He only bit Shu Yan's hand to death.

"How do you know it's Mrs. He who wants to kill you?"

Lin Jinan rubbed his back teeth, "Everyone knows that we are mortal enemies, who else but her?"

Mo Yuande's tone even darkened. "Do you have any evidence?"

Lin Jinan burst into tears. "My maid Qiunan! After Qiunan went to see Shu Yan, she came back and wanted to kill her master. She and the people sent by Shu Yan cooperated inside and outside. If I hadn't been able to protect myself, I wouldn't have been able to escape here."

"Where is your maid?"

Lin Jinan's face turned pale again, "Dead."

Mo Yuande's face darkened slightly, "That means death without evidence?"

She felt unsure and dared not speak.

"Someone, take Miss Lin back home."

Lin Jinan's heart was high again, fearing that the people in the General's Mansion would find something fishy. Before he had taken two steps, he saw people from the General's Mansion hurriedly looking for him. After thanking him, they wanted to take Lin Jin'an back to the manor.

"Since you're here, let's go and sit in the general's mansion."

Zuo Jing squatted beside Qiunan, looking at the injury on her neck. Lin Yi walked around for two steps, picked up the dagger on the ground, and saw Lin Jinan's hairpin two steps away.

The couple looked at each other, and just as Zuo Jing was about to speak, a servant came to report that the prince had sent Lin Jinan back.

Lin Yi rushed to the front hall, while Zuo Jing went directly to Lin Jinan's boudoir. Zuo Jing's heart tightened when she stepped into the room and saw her daughter's face covered in blood.

"Good morning!"

Lin Jinan bit his lip and did not dare to speak. She knew that Zuo Jing had already been to the woodshed, and she was afraid that Zuo Jing would find out something was wrong, and her face would suddenly turn as pale as a dead person.

Zuo Jing walked up quickly, pulled her up and down and looked at her several times. After confirming that she was okay, she asked, "What's going on with Qiunan?"

Her voice trembled, "Mother, Qiunan has betrayed the Lord a long time ago, otherwise I would not have been indifferent to her. I didn't expect that she would break the guard today and join forces with outsiders to kill me."

Zuo Jing immediately said angrily: "Which outsider should we unite with?"

Lin Jin'an half lowered his eyes to cover up the cruelty in his eyes.

"I only heard her mention Shu Yan."

"How come Qiunan is related to that bitch girl from the Shu family?"

Lin Jinan shook his head, with a trace of resentment in his heart, "I was locked up in the woodshed, how could I know this? Since I have seen it, I can definitely find it out."

Zuo Jing frowned and just asked her to change clothes and clean herself up.

Other than that, nothing else.

After turning around and entering the screen, Lin Jinan dared to reveal the hatred in his heart.

Is Lin Jinan Zuo Jing's biological child? In ordinary people's homes, a mother would have been crying while holding her daughter, but Zuo Jing could be so calm.

Not only what happened today, but also before, she had never felt any maternal concern for her daughter from Zuo Jing.

It's really suspicious.

By the time she changed her clothes and came out, Zuo Jing had already left.

Huaiyu, the maid who had been waiting in front of her for the past two days, brought her some water to cleanse her face. Lin Jin'an disliked her slow movements, pushed her away, casually tied her hair into a bun and hurried to the main hall.

Before reaching the front yard, a servant came running over with a happy face.

"Congratulations, Miss. Congratulations, Miss." (End of Chapter)
