The reborn daughter is a concubine

Chapter 88: To catch a turtle in a jar
All of this was within An Qiao's expectations. Similarly, she went to Duan Xinlan's room early in the morning, and took her out of the other courtyard on the pretext of taking her out to get some fresh air!
At this moment, the two are sitting in a tea house in Pingyang City. An Qiao asked someone to arrange a seat by the window. From here, they can easily see the pedestrians passing by below!
"Sister An... Lan'er has been recuperating in the hospital for the past few days, almost smothered to death!" Duan Xinlan said as if complaining, with an innocent appearance, as if she was really a pure and ignorant little girl with no intentions. Girl, however, for a moment, a smile appeared on the little face that was still crying, "Fortunately, Sister An loves me, and I can't bear to see me bored!"

"Yes! At your age, you have a lively and cheerful personality. If you are locked in the room all day, you may get sick from boredom. It is also good to go out more often to get some fresh air and listen to the chats of the people!" Ann Qiao took a piece of mung bean cake for Duan Xinlan, and placed it in front of her. Her voice was like flowing water, pleasant to the ear. She lowered her eyebrows, but a strange brilliance flashed in her eyes without a trace.

"Sister An..." Duan Xinlan seemed to suddenly think of something, and called out tentatively, met An Qiao's gaze, but suddenly stopped, as if afraid of being caught by the shrewd An Qiao, while she was hesitating, Little did he know that An Qiao had already observed her carefully.

An Qiao smiled, feeling a little more clear in her heart, "What's the matter with Princess Xinlan, but it's okay to say, although An Qiao is a married woman, but if you call me Sister An, even if An Qiao is unable to help When it comes to Princess Xinlan, it’s okay to come up with an idea!”

Hearing what she said, Duan Xinlan felt even more unpredictable about An Qiao's thoughts, but now she was eager to know something, so she couldn't care less!

"Sister An, last time I heard you say that the people who hurt Big Brother survived, but now they..." Duan Xinlan thought carefully, trying to make it look like she mentioned it unintentionally, but how could she hide it? Got An Qiao's eyes?
Besides, this is exactly what An Qiao wanted, even if Duan Xinlan didn't take the initiative to ask, she would find a way to tell her about it!

"If it weren't for knowing that Princess Xinlan and Mr. Wuxia have a deep brother-sister relationship, An Qiao might have misunderstood that you were worried about the safety of those survivors?" An Qiao didn't answer her question directly, but smiled lightly. She smiled, took a sip of tea, and looked at Duan Xinlan with vague eyes. At this moment, her face froze, a little unnatural, as if she was trying to cover up something, An Qiao lowered her eyebrows, Pretending to say something wrong, she immediately changed her words, "Look at what I said, you scared Princess Xinlan! Don't worry...how could Princess Xinlan worry about the safety of the person who wants to kill your elder brother? You are not accomplices! "

Duan Xinlan was taken aback. The word "conspiracy" made her eyes widen. She wanted to make trouble, but she was worried that she was trying to cover up, but An Qiao really saw something, so she had to twitch the corners of her mouth, "Yes... yes Ah! Xinlan just wanted to know, did the mastermind behind the scenes ask the question?" Realizing that she would inevitably be suspected by An Qiao again, Duan Xinlan continued to speak, her small face suddenly pulled down, and a faint look appeared in her eyes. Worried, "I'm just worried about big brother, if the mastermind behind the scenes still hides his identity, then big brother...wouldn't he still be in danger?"

Looking at her superb acting skills, An Qiao felt a chill in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface, "Princess Xinlan is worrying too much, three thousand dead men can't hurt your elder brother, besides, last night..."

While An Qiao was talking, there was a commotion from below. An Qiao faintly knew it was time, so he looked out the window and saw a group of guards surrounding a prison van. On the prison van, the man's brows were tightly locked, and there seemed to be blood on the black clothes. It fell drop by drop, and that person was Duan Wuhen!

Duan Xinlan followed An Qiao's line of sight, and when she saw that face, she was taken aback suddenly, her face turned pale instantly, her trembling hands even accidentally knocked over the teacup in front of her, the tea flowed down, Wet her clothes, but Duan Xinlan was still in shock and didn't notice anything unusual!

Duan Wuhen?How did he become like this?
An Qiao just watched Duan Xinlan's reaction quietly, her eyes flashed with depth, she really wanted to find out Duan Xinlan's mood at the moment, but judging from her reaction, she was already very satisfied!
"Princess Xinlan, what's wrong with you?" An Qiao retracted the light in her eyes, and asked with concern and probing, but secretly slandered in her heart: Duan Xinlan, Duan Xinlan, are you worried about Duan Wu? Hen, or are you worried that Duan Wuhen will expose you?

Duan Xinlan came back to her senses and realized her gaffe, she was startled for a moment, met An Qiao's gaze, even though she was a good actress, she seemed a little flustered at the moment, "That... that is..."

An Qiao lowered her eyebrows, but did not hesitate to explain her doubts, "Oh, that is the assassin caught by General Chu last night! It is said that it was a melee for a long time. This assassin has strong martial arts skills, but his two fists are no match for four hands. How can he defeat three thousand elite soldiers alone? Don’t you think so, Princess Xinlan?”

At this moment, An Qiao thought of the scene in the woods again, and her eyes became a little colder. If it wasn't for the sake of the overall situation and long-term plans, she would really like to slap Duan Xinlan. This woman is really a femme fatale!

Duan Xinlan was startled, always feeling that An Qiao was pointing something, subconsciously raised her head, met An Qiao's gaze, saw the coldness conveyed inside, and felt that her guess was correct, did An Qiao really see it? Was it out of her mind?
What if she found out and told her elder brother?Will Big Brother believe her?
The more Duan Xinlan thought about it, the more frightened she felt. She had never been so frightened by a single person, but An Qiao always gave her this feeling!
Thinking of Duan Wuhen, an assassin?Is it really an assassin?Yesterday, Feige sent a letter to Duan Wuhen, telling him about the living thing, and unexpectedly at night, something happened to him. No matter how you look at it, she thinks it is a pre-designed trap!The second brother was caught, would he shake her out?Did An Qiao do it on purpose to tell her that she was alive?
Countless questions appeared in her mind, Duan Xinlan looked at An Qiao, this time, her eyes were more scrutinized, but An Qiao remained calm, with a calm face and peaceful eyes, like a woman in a boudoir, Gentle and virtuous, without any edge!
