I dress up as a poor noblewoman, and I bring my whole family home with my literary talent.

Chapter 65 The Two-Sided Lu Jing
Song Lingyi had just returned to Nansui Garden when she met the maid who came to deliver a letter. It was really strange that the Song family had sent her another letter.

When she opened the envelope, her face suddenly changed and she hurriedly asked for leave to leave the palace.

There was still some time before the palace gates were locked. Song Lingyi changed into her regular clothes, left the palace with the fish token, and took a carriage back to the Song Mansion.

Fenghuang Street was bustling during the day. The carriage swayed slowly through the downtown area. Song Lingyi was so anxious that she didn't notice the changes in the surrounding environment at all until the carriage drove into a relatively quiet alley.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and Song Lingyi held on to the wall of the carriage tightly to avoid being thrown out due to inertia.

The driver outside fell silent with a muffled groan.
Song Lingyi leaned against the wall, feeling shocked and terrified. She mustered up the courage to lift the curtain, but before she could see anything, her eyes went dark and she lost consciousness.

……

When I woke up again, I was in a strange and cold space. The only light came from the campfire in the corner. The air was moist and had a slight smell of moss.

Song Lingyi felt dizzy and her hands and feet were tightly bound. She struggled to sit up and looked around vigilantly.

deathly silence
She shook her dizzy head hard, trying to stay awake.

In the empty and depressing space, a gust of wind blew from somewhere, and then the torches on the wall lit up one after another like the camera in a movie, illuminating the dark and quiet room.

Song Lingyi's eyes had not yet adjusted to the sudden light, and she blinked twice dryly.

In the blink of an eye, a person inexplicably appeared in the quiet room that was originally empty. The man was facing her sideways, tall and slender, with a strong back and slim waist, a ghost-like face and black clothes, mysterious and oppressive.

It's just that the embroidery pattern on this black robe with gold woven patterns looks a little familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before...

Just as Song Lingyi narrowed her eyes and concentrated on recalling carefully, the man wearing the demon mask suddenly turned his head and stared at her.

Song Lingyi subconsciously moved back

The man walked to the campfire, picked up the red-hot fire tongs with inscriptions on them, and said half politely and half threateningly: "Don't be afraid, Miss Song. I asked you to come here because I have something I want to clarify." His voice was deliberately low.

This is called... please? Song Lingyi's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"You... Your Excellency, please feel free to speak."

"In the early morning of the Ghost Festival, Miss Song received a jade pendant, is that true or not?" the man asked.

If this person hadn't told her, she would have almost forgotten it.
The prince's jade pendant, but how did this person know that she had the jade pendant, and also knew that she got it in the early morning? Could it be that he was related to Hesi Tower? If he was related to Hesi Tower, she couldn't admit it. What if this person wanted to kill her to silence her like he killed that girl?
"I don't know" Song Lingyi's eyes were particularly firm
"Oh?" The man's eyes swept over with a sinister tone, and his tone was like a cold February day, "Miss Song, do you really not know?"

Song Lingyi shook her head repeatedly, but her eyes involuntarily dropped to the ground due to guilt.

She felt as if there was a breeze blowing in front of her eyes, lifting the strands of hair on her temples. The man who was standing ten steps away just now was now standing in front of her.

The man lifted his shirt hem and slowly squatted down, looking at Song Lingyi level. The dark eyes behind the demon mask were as deep as a pool. "Miss Song, you'd better think it over before answering. I don't want to do anything yet, but if you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

……

When their eyes met, Song Lingyi frowned, thinking that she had seen these eyes before. She noticed the round patterns on his clothes, which were clear now that she was close to him, and they looked very familiar...

A flash of inspiration came to my mind

This pattern is exactly the same as the one on the clothes Lu Jing was wearing when she met him at Shili Ferry! It's just that he changed his clothes after he woke up. Fortunately, she has an outstanding memory. Although she only saw it once, she will never make a mistake. Looking at his height and body shape, as well as his deliberately lowered voice

Damn Lu Jing, smiling but hiding a knife, why didn't he ask her for the jade pendant when they met a few days ago, and now he tricked her out of the palace to interrogate her! Looking at his appearance, it seems that he doesn't want her to discover his true identity.

"Why are you so sure that the jade pendant is on me? Do you have any evidence? I am a seventh-rank court lady. If I don't return to the palace, the people in the palace will definitely investigate and will find you sooner or later!"

"Hahaha," Lu Jing laughed in a low voice, "Since I dare to arrest you, why would I be afraid of others investigating? People die every day in Chang'an City. If there is one more body in the mass grave, I'm sure no one will find it for ten days or half a month."

Song Lingyi took a deep breath and muttered something, "Where did the mass grave in the south come from..."

The south of Chang'an City is rich and the north is poor. Huangliusi and Suochunlou are located in the central area of ​​the south. Not to mention mass graves, even a grave can't be seen.

Unexpectedly, her casual remark aroused Lu Jing's suspicion, "How do you know this is the south?"

"..." Song Lingyi pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes evasive.

Lu Jing narrowed his eyes, looked at her for a moment, and then pinched her neck with one hand, "I'm not kidding you, hand over the jade pendant quickly!"

The force on his hands was getting stronger and stronger, and Song Lingyi's face was getting redder and redder. The key point was that her hands were still tied behind her back, so she couldn't struggle at all.

Even if you strangle her to death, you can still find the jade pendant! A bloodthirsty cold light flashed in Lu Jing's eyes.
Song Lingyi began to roll her eyes, and the overwhelming feeling of suffocation enveloped her.

At the last moment, Lu Jing looked at her little face and suddenly felt a little compassion. He loosened his hand and cursed in a low voice, "How clever!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Song Lingyi fell to the ground and coughed wildly, breathing in fresh air like a thirsty person. Tears flowed unconsciously. She glared at the man in front of her, so angry that she kicked him in the vitals.

Fortunately, Lu Jing was quick to grab her ankle, otherwise she would have died in the hands of this girl.
He laughed in anger: "You won't cry until you see the coffin, right?"

"...The jade pendant is in my hand, but I am the only one who knows where it is. Let me go first, and I will give it to you when I get it." Song Lingyi could only buy time.

"Why should I trust you?" Lu Jing said leisurely.

"Hehe... You can choose not to believe me, but then you'll never know the whereabouts of the jade pendant." Song Lingyi showed no sign of weakness.

The two sides were deadlocked, their eyes met, and neither of them was willing to bow their heads.
Lu Jing looked at her lips which had become moist and slightly red due to coughing, which was very tempting. Her crabapple red skirt outlined the graceful figure of a fifteen-year-old. She was so right in front of him, but he couldn't have her, and he couldn't bear to give her up. He couldn't bring himself to do it, and he couldn't let her go.

Lu Jing turned his head and looked away, calming down for a moment, "Tell me where the jade pendant is. Once I find it, I will let you go."

"Why should I trust you?" This question was returned to him.
The eyes behind the demon's mask were slightly curved, emitting a hint of cold light. The feeling of deadly danger made Song Lingyi's heart tremble, but she still stiffened her neck and refused to give in.

"You have no choice."

"Yes, I have no choice. The jade pendant is my only chance to survive. Who knows if you will kill me after finding out the whereabouts of the jade pendant?" Song Lingyi said coldly.

“Hard bones”

"Thank you for the compliment!" The girl had a smile on her lips. Even if it was a fake smile, it was so bright and charming that people couldn't take their eyes off it.
