Poison Doctor Prince Concubine

Chapter 253
Unexpectedly, Su Yanjing seemed to have expected it, and had already arranged for people to intercept the road halfway.

So when the carriage rushed back to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, after Su Yan Jing dressed An Qingran and dressed, Yun Qing came in to report.

"For Miss Hui, Murong Cheng, Marquis of Dingbei, ask Miss Xu Jinluan to see her."

"Invite them in!"

An Qingran stood up from the chair in joy, and then pushed Su Yanjing beside her.

"Yanjing, can you avoid this matter for a while?"

She wanted to ask her aunt what happened the night her mother died.

And such a question, if Su Yanjing was present, I am afraid that Dingbei Hou Murongcheng and Aunt Xu Jinluan would not be able to ask.

And Su Yanjing seemed to understand An Qingran's embarrassment, nodded and smiled and said: "Alright, I'll go to the study to read a book first, and when you're done here, ask your aunt if she would like to see me." Master. After all, Master, the old man still wants to see his little junior sister."

An Qingran nodded in agreement with Su Yanjing's entrustment.

"Okay, I'll ask later, if my aunt is willing, I'll bring my aunt to the study later."

"Well, then Ran'er is busy, I'll go there first."

When he said this, Murong Cheng and Xu Jinluan had already entered under the leadership of Yun Qing.

Su Yanjing nodded and smiled at the two of them as a greeting, then left room for the three of them to talk, and went to the study.

Maybe An Qingran was the only one in the room, Murong Cheng and Xu Jinluan felt less uneasy when they came.

An Qingran looked at the aunt Xu Jinluan who came here.

To be honest, compared to the mother Xu Jinxuan in the portrait, the temperament of this aunt Xu Jinluan is more similar to her.

Her mother, Xu Jinxuan, is a gentle and virtuous little woman who has always spoken and acted in a soft voice.

And this aunt, Xu Jinluan, is a valiant and powerful woman who has always been swift and resolute in her words and deeds. As a superior, she is extremely dignified.

But for men, such a woman is too strong and obviously does not meet the standards of a good wife and mother.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Murong Cheng, who is also strong, cannot develop love for Auntie.

Therefore, even though his mother and aunt had the same appearance, Murong Cheng still chose a gentle little woman like her mother instead of a strong woman like aunt.

While An Qingran was evaluating his aunt Xu Jinluan in his heart, that Xu Jinluan was also looking at An Qingran.

She did not expect that such a gentle sister would give birth to such a daughter with such a heroic look on her brows.

If she hadn't been sure that she had never given birth to a child, Xu Jinluan would have had the illusion that An Qingran standing in front of her was Xu Jinluan's daughter.

Of course, maybe it's because An Qingran's temperament is so similar to hers.

Although Xu Jinluan didn't like An Qingran's biological father, An Bonian, that despicable villain, he still fell in love with this niece who was exactly like her at a glance.

"An Qingran, right? According to Dingbeihou, you have been looking for me, wanting to know what happened the night your mother died, right?"

Sure enough, he is a straightforward person, and he speaks straight to the point when he comes, without any nonsense, which An Qingran likes very much.

"That's right, I did come to you to find out what happened that night. After all, you were the only one who was there that night, and only you knew what happened."

Now that Xu Jinluan explained her intentions, An Qingran naturally didn't hide her intentions. She tried her best to set up a situation in order to know the answer.

"To be honest, things happened too suddenly that night. I was in a turbulent mood at the time. After I told Murong Cheng the news of your mother's death, I went back to the Xu family's ancestral hall alone in a trance. After kneeling for three days and three nights, I slowly calmed down."

"At that time, I always believed that it was because of my recklessness, that I acted too arrogantly, forcing your mother to make a decision that she didn't want to make, so that such a tragedy happened, so, at that time, I always thought it was because of me , forced your mother to death. At that time, I wanted to apologize with death and use my life to go underground to pay for your mother's life. But later, I was woken up by my father's slap in the face, and I was also prevented from doing this. way of self-harm."

When mentioning the events of that year, both Xu Jinluan and Murong Cheng obviously felt uncomfortable.

An Qingran could tell from her eyes that memories were extremely painful for her.

But if you don't ask, you won't know the truth, so even if it's a bit cruel, An Qingran still wants to know what happened back then.

"I'm sorry, although this is a past that my aunt doesn't want to think about, but An Qingran has to ask, just for the truth of her mother's death, An Qingran must also pursue it."

"So please think about it, Auntie, what was unusual about my mother's death? For example, was there any strange fragrance left in the room, strange medicine, and whether the marks on my mother's neck were caused by suicide? What?" An Qingran's words made Xu Jinluan smile in relief.

"You are worthy of being Xuan'er's daughter, and Xuan'er was also like this before she was alive. Although everyone thinks that I am very powerful and that your mother is a delicate young lady, they don't know that it is your mother who is really powerful."

"Your mother is delicate and observant. She always thinks about everything. She thinks about things in a long-term and more rational way than I do."

When talking about this, Xu Jinluan raised his head and remained silent for a while, then he settled down and said, "Actually, your suspicion is correct, the cause of your mother's death was indeed not that simple. I knocked open the door of the room where your mother committed suicide At that time, I did smell a scent of purple datura flowers. But I didn't care at all at that time, because your mother's death hit me too hard, and I ignored everything around me."

"But later, when I was in the Xu Family Ancestral Hall, because of my father's suggestions and obstacles, I thought of a person like your mother. Although she looks weak and weak on the outside, in fact, her heart is stronger than mine. Stronger and stronger."

"If it happened to me, Xu Jinluan, the result would be that An Bonian and I would die together, and the Xu family would also be implicated by outside rumors, and their reputation would be damaged. So, at that time, what my father said was right. Since your mother has already made a decision, it is impossible for her to choose to commit suicide."

"So I came to my senses and wanted to sneak into Shangshu's mansion to investigate the real cause of your mother's death, but I didn't expect that on the night your mother died, that despicable person in An Bonian cremated your mother's body directly. Therefore, I am even more convinced of what my father said, the cause of your mother's death is indeed not simple."

When talking about this, Xu Jinluan showed blue veins on the back of her hands, as if she was annoyed that she woke up too late, too late, so that she lost the opportunity to investigate the truth of Xuan'er's death in the first place.

"It's all my fault. I'm too late to wake up. If not, I would definitely be able to find the real culprit who killed your mother."

Xu Jinluan felt so guilty about this incident that he was wandering outside, living in no fixed place, and was always running away.

And it was enough for An Qingran to hear Aunt Xu Jinluan's answer.

It is enough to prove that the cause of mother's death is indeed something else.

Of course, through this matter, she also hoped that Murong Cheng and Xu Jinluan could let go of this shackle and stop suffering.

"Auntie, don't blame yourself too much for this matter. I believe that my mother doesn't want you and Dingbei Hou to suffer for a lifetime. So, let it go, I believe my mother will not let it go. You will be blamed."

"This matter is not your fault, but the fault of the real murderer. Therefore, Qingran will handle the rest of the matter. I will definitely find the murderer who killed my mother back then, and find a replacement for him." My mother took revenge."

In Shangshu's mansion, there are quite a few people who know about my mother's death.
She didn't believe it, she couldn't get the answers she wanted from those people.

When Xu Jinluan heard what An Qingran said, he was relieved, but at the same time felt a little guilty.

If she hadn't heard the news that Dingbei Hou Murongcheng had been poisoned and unconscious, she would not have thought about returning to the capital, let alone coming to see An Qingran.

This means that An Qingran is the only blood left by his younger sister Jinxuan.

But after all, half of An Qingran's blood belonged to that bastard An Bonian, so Xu Jinluan felt very complicated about this niece.

It can be said that she was not mentally prepared to face this niece at all. If it wasn't for Murong Cheng's persuasion, if An Qingran, a girl, wanted to investigate the cause of her mother's death, Xu Jinluan would never have made such a trip.

However, it was fortunate that she made such a trip, otherwise, she felt that she would regret it for the rest of her life.

At this moment, Xu Jinluan suddenly held An Qingran's hand tightly, and said with complicated eyes: "Ran'er, I'm sorry, and thank you."

How could An Qingran not understand what her words meant?

Naturally, she was very clear in her heart, so she didn't say anything, but took this opportunity to ask with a smile.

"Then I don't know if my aunt is interested in meeting the old friend?"

"An old friend?" Now that things have happened, besides Dingbei Hou Murongcheng, does Xu Jinluan have any old friends?

Speaking of which, after so many years, there really is such an old friend, but that person has already--

When she heard about that person for the first time, Xu Jinluan could hardly believe her own ears. It took a long time for her to recover from the pain.

So when An Qingran said that an old friend wanted to see her, she couldn't help but smiled wryly.

"Ran'er, I don't have an old friend anymore."

"No, no, my aunt has an old friend. There is an old friend who really wants to see my aunt, and wants to ask my aunt how she has been doing well these years."
