No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

The advantage of recognizing Linglan as the daughter of Xilin Gioro and setting up the mourning hall in Niuhulu Mansion is that Lin Mingyan can go there in person to burn a stick of incense.

If you offer sacrifices to a slave, you might be gossiped about by members of the royal family, but if you offer sacrifices to your own sister, no one would dare to even grit their teeth.

Early that morning, the carriage from the Fourth Master's mansion arrived outside the gate of Niuhulu's mansion.

Lin Mingyan was helped out of the carriage by Du Juan, and saw Xilin Jueluo looking out the door with her big belly.

She quickly walked over, held her arm and said, "Mother, you are so pregnant, why are you still running outside the second gate?"

Xilin Jueluo's belly is already seven months pregnant, and it looks bigger than other people's eight-month pregnant women.

Lin Mingyan was terrified by what she saw. She was a little worried that she was an elderly mother and the delivery would not go smoothly.

"Mom, have you eaten too much? How can you have a baby if you eat so much?" Lin Mingyan couldn't help nagging.

Xilin Jueluo was supported by her and walked inside. Hearing this, she touched her belly and said, "It's not that mother eats too much, it's that she is pregnant with twins..."

After saying this, she couldn't help but look at her daughter's face.

Lin Mingyan was extremely surprised: Hiss~ It seems that the Niuhulu family has a tradition of giving birth to multiple children.

She thought it was a problem with the pregnancy pill, but it might be her own problem!

If it weren't for the incubator, her first baby would have been triplets. In that backward ancient time, there might have been two deaths in one!

God bless you~

"What did the doctor say?" Lin Mingyan became even more worried.

Xilin Jueluo was quite relaxed: "The doctor said everything is fine, don't worry."

Her husband Ling Zhu was extremely worried, fearing that she would have a difficult delivery like his previous wife.

But she was not afraid, because she had given birth to three children and was very experienced.

Lin Mingyan relaxed after listening to her chattering on and on.

It seems that women who remarried in ancient times, especially those who remarried after giving birth to children, were actually very popular.

If the first child is born at a young age, it is very likely that the child will have a difficult delivery. The risk is indeed much lower if you have given birth before.

When they arrived at the mourning hall, the two stopped talking.

Lin Mingyan took a stick of incense and talked to Linglan for a long time, wishing her to be born into a good family in her next life, and then lit it.

Dujuan also burned incense. When she came out, she saw a little maid in white clothes coming in and couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

"Sister, please stay~" The little maid hesitated for a moment and called her.

Du Juan turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

She thought that this little maid was from the Niuhulu Mansion and had some instructions from the master.

The little maid bit her lip and said, "Sister, do you know how Sister Linglan went?"

"Did she...did she suffer?"

"Who are you?" Du Juan realized something was wrong.

The little maid wiped her tears and said, "I am Yinzhan, a childhood friend of Sister Linglan. We have lived in the same alley since we were young..."

Later, Linglan went to work at the Fourth Master's Mansion. She also worked at the Eighth Master's Mansion, which was also close to the mansion.

The two of them made an appointment to take a vacation together and they always had things to talk about.

Unexpectedly, when she returned home on vacation this time, she heard from her mother that Sister Linglan was gone.

When I went to her house, I found that there was not even a mourning hall and no white hangings in the house.

After a long quarrel with Wu Lu, I finally found out that Sister Linglan had been adopted by the Niuhulu family and the mourning hall was set up here.

She hurried over again, and after a long period of anxiety, she came to ask if she could burn incense.

Lin Mingyan originally thought that Linglan's own relatives and friends might come to see her off, so she instructed Su He to find out if anyone came to pay their respects and let them in.

Only then could Yinzhan come in smoothly.

"You...you must accept my condolences," Du Juan saw that she was crying so hard, so she took her hand and comforted her.

She herself had only worked with Linglan for a few years, and it was sad enough for her.

These two sisters who grew up together must be feeling as if their hearts are being cut by a knife.

The two exchanged a few words, and Yinzhan bit her lip and said boldly, "Sister Dujuan, may I ask if the murderer has been brought to justice?"

Du Juan sighed: "The eunuch who committed the crime deserved to die, but behind the scenes..."

She shook her head and didn't say anything, but Yinzhan understood.

Her eyes were filled with hatred: "Does that little eunuch have a good appearance? I want to see!"

She wanted to be more specific about the person she hated in her heart so that she could curse him to hell over and over again.

Du Juan was stunned for a moment, then called over a young eunuch and said, "Go to your grandfather Su and bring back two pictures of the criminals."

This was done specifically to find someone to recall and draw the appearance of the little eunuch, so that it could be burned in front of Linglan's spirit to apologize to her.

After a while, the young eunuch brought two portraits, and Dujuan gave them to Yinzhan.

Yinzhan looked over with hatred and was stunned for a moment: "I...I have seen this person!"

"What?!" Du Juan practically jumped up and grabbed her arm, asking repeatedly, "Have you seen him? Who is he? Where does he work?!"

Yinzhan's mind was also working rapidly, and she said anxiously: "I must have seen this person before, but I... I can't remember it right now!"

"I...I can't remember!"

She was so anxious that she was about to cry. She clenched her fists and kept hitting her head, trying to remember it quickly.

Lin Mingyan was surprised by the noise the two made and came over to ask.

When I asked, I was overjoyed.

Whether she can find clues and avenge Linglan depends on her little sister.

She made a prompt decision, took her to her room, and asked her to sit down and think carefully.

Yinzhan recalled tremblingly, almost crying: "This slave... This slave is really useless, I can't remember, wuwu~"

"Don't be anxious, just straighten it out first. When did you see it before?" Lin Mingyan patiently helped her sort it out.

Yinzhan thought for a while and said, "I guess it was before the New Year, when I was out on business."

She had never seen him in the Eighth Master's Mansion. After all, the eunuchs in the backyard were all acquaintances, and she was not qualified to go to the front yard.

Then you can only have seen it outside.

But when she went out, she usually went home to chat with Linglan. The street was full of bondservants, not many eunuchs.

Recently, I have only seen him when I went out of the house to do things for the Eighth Lady.

She was different from Linglan. She was just a second-class maid who served flowers and plants in the main courtyard of the Eighth Master's Mansion and had few opportunities to leave the mansion.

I have only seen it when I went out to buy flowers and plants before the New Year.

Lin Mingyan helped her analyze it bit by bit, and finally she slapped her head and remembered: "I think we met at Fuxingju, but it was just a brief encounter. He went in and I came out carrying the flowers and plants."

Fuxingju is a restaurant, and there are many people coming in and out, so she just took a quick glance.

If I didn't have a good memory, I would have forgotten it long ago.

Although I remember it now, I still don’t know the other person’s name or who he is as a servant.

However, this way at least there is a range to look for.

Moreover, others don’t know, but Lin Mingyan knows.

Fuxingju.

It is the property of Guo Luoluo family!
