C603 What a coincidence (2/2)
”Then what should we do now? ”A'Yue's life and death is uncertain now.” Leng Ying felt remorse between his brows.
Lian Ruyue slowly clenched her hand into a fist and calmly said, ”We'll wait and see. We'll secretly watch the movements of Lian Shiya and the Duke of Yue's mansion. Lian Shiya might be able to notice something.”
Not long after A Yue lost the earring, Feng Qianyue made his move. This earring must have been picked up by Lian Shiya that day, and they even found out that the earring belonged to A Yue.
However, what was strange was that Xiao Zhenhai didn't make any movement. According to Xiao Zhenhai's method of handling matters, once he found out that A Yue was still alive, he would lead a large army of people to surround the shop in the western part of the capital and find A Yue. He would then directly carry her in front of the emperor to punish her for the crime of bullying the monarch, and then push Xiao Shan's death onto her body.
Since he didn't take any action, it would mean that Feng Qianyue had yet to tell him about this matter.
He didn't even tell Xiao Zhenhai about such an important matter. What was he planning?
Furthermore, Lian Shiya was so anxious for Linyue to die that she would normally impatiently reveal this matter. Why was she also silent?
Lian Ruyue thought of these questions, and in her mind she thought of how she was going to walk the next path until dawn. She changed her clothes, let Qing Dai put makeup on her face, and made her look more energetic from staying up all night.
And when it was just a quarter to one, news arrived, saying that Lian Shiya had returned to the Lian Clan, and that Feng Qianyue had returned with her.
His Highness Fourth Prince was also curious. Initially, she had said that she would punish Third Miss severely, but now, it didn't seem like it at all. She was willing to go with Third Miss to the Qing'an Courtyard to pay respects to the Old Ancestor, and Third Young Miss had brought a gift with her, saying that she wanted to reward everyone. Instead, she had treated herself as the princess of Yue, as if she was only a concubine.
”Auntie Xiao is dead. The Fourth Prince has returned to his favor, and his third sister is also basking in the light. Grandmother and father naturally pretended that nothing had happened.” Lian Ruyue revealed a slight expression at the corner of her lips as she said.
”However, His Highness does not look well. Her face is very pale and she coughs occasionally and speaks weakly. After bidding farewell to the madame, the prime minister arranged for the third young miss to rest and speak to the various madams and misses at Qing An Courtyard.”
”When this servant heard that the Fourth Prince bled to raise the Golden Toad, that's why she became like this. Although she was still young, and had lost a lot of blood, I'm afraid her body's already broken. What a pity.”
Lian Ru Yue put down the book in her hand and lightly said, ”You actually know everything clearly.”
Senior Servant Tai smiled, her face blushing with shyness. ”I was afraid that Third Miss would come back to harm me, so I paid more attention and thoroughly grasped Third Miss' matter.”
Not long later, the Qingan Courtyard sent someone over, saying that they wanted to invite Eldest Miss over …
”Since you're back and want to give us something, I should go take a look as well.” Since you're back and want to give us something as well, I should go take a look. Lian Ruyue instructed.
”Yes, Eldest Miss.”
After a moment, Lian Xiyue changed into Xia Chang, whose body was embroidered with the pattern of a hundred butterflies, and walked towards the Qing An Institute.
When he arrived at the corridor, he discovered that Feng Qianyue, who should have been resting somewhere, was sitting on a chair, holding a jade pendant in his hand. He was fumbling with it, and his pale complexion made him look like someone who had yet to recover from a serious illness.
He turned around and saw Lian Yue. When her hair fell on the sides of her face, the corner of her mouth curled up into a faint smile. ”What a coincidence. Where is Eldest Miss going?”
