After Ji Xiaolan finished her meal, she fell asleep on the table.

He was able to pretend to sit up straight, but after a while, his eyelids began to droop.

When she woke up again, a pair of big round eyes appeared in front of her.

So bright, so round.

"Junjun...Princess!"

"Why did I fall asleep again!"

Ji Xiaolan wiped the corner of her mouth. Fortunately, she didn’t drool.

"Don't call me Princess, call me Mingyue, Lanlan."

Lanlan?

No one has ever called her that in her life.

Ji Xiaolan looked like she was immersed in a jar of honey.

Zhizhi curled her lips and said, "Huh, Taotao and I are both reduplicated characters, so don't get the wrong idea."

"Okay... then, what should I call you?"

"Call me Mingyue."

"Hmm! Mingyue..."

Ahhhh! So shy!

Ji Xiaolan's face turned red instantly.

So intimate.

Her head felt dizzy, as if it were floating in the clouds.

Mingyue gently patted her cheek, "Sister, wake up, wake up."

Ji Xiaolan finally came back to her senses, "Ah? Oh."

"Did you ever think about who was behind your mother's murder last night?"

Ji Xiaolan nodded, then shook her head.

"I, I thought about it, but, but for some reason yesterday, I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow."

Mingyue was really speechless. This kid is so careless!

Well, actually it’s not Ji Xiaolan’s fault. It’s mainly because she had acupuncture yesterday, and Yan Shuran cleared the meridians in her body for her. It’s normal for Ji Xiaolan to fall asleep quickly.

"So who do you think is most likely now?"

"I...I don't know."

The faces of her relatives appeared in her mind. It couldn't be them. If it was the servants, she would have no idea.

"Princess...Mingyue, what do you think?"

"I think your aunt is the most likely one, what do you think?" I'm sorry, Ji Xiaolan's aunt, I only guessed based on my experience.

Ji Xiaolan was completely unwilling to think about this possibility.

Her aunt was very kind to her. She looked like her mother, and she was unwilling to believe that her aunt was a bad person.

As she thought about it, Ji Xiaolan's tears began to flow.

"Well, let's put it another way. Your aunt is an elder in your family. Who knows what she might know? Why not try to trick her?"

After hearing this, Ji Xiaolan nodded.

"My aunt is so kind to me, she will definitely tell me about my mother!"

The two reached a consensus on the general direction.

but……

One of them thought about going home to ask his aunt.

The other is...

I want to tie my aunt up and bring her here directly.

The latter thought so and actually did so.

She is so decisive!

"thump"

A black sackcloth bag was thrown to the ground by two secret guards.

Ji Xiaolan looked at the black cloth bag squirming on the ground and quickly took several steps back.

I don't know what's in there, it's pretty scary.

Mingyue gave a look, and the secret guard untied the rope, and the person inside quickly climbed out.

"Auntie!?"

Ji Xiaolan was shocked. Why was her aunt here?

Her actions were faster than her brain, and she was already tidying up her aunt's clothes. "Aunt, why are you here?"

My aunt's mouth was sealed and she couldn't say anything.

Aunt: Shuanq, weren’t you the ones who arrested me?

Mingyue had the same idea. Is Ji Xiaolan normal? Was her brain poisoned in the womb?

Mingyue pulled her away and looked at the concubine who had stood up and asked, "Concubine Zheng, we all know what happened to the late madam back then."

There was a moment of shock in Aunt Zheng's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.

However, Mingyue noticed that there was indeed something wrong with this concubine.

If he is not the murderer, he must at least be an insider!

"What about the death of the late lady? I didn't know anything about it!" Aunt Zheng pulled Ji Xiaolan behind her, looking protective.

"Who are you? Sister Lan, I've told you countless times not to associate with these unidentified, questionable people!"

Mingyue blinked. Huh? Unknown identity? Somebody of questionable character?

She pointed at herself, "Me?"

"If not you, who else? You're so young and you're so naughty, you're only leading my daughter astray!"

"Whose child are you? Let us go immediately!"

"My master is General Ji! Be careful or we'll report you to the authorities!"

Ji Xiaolan had never seen such an aggressive aunt. In her memory, the aunt was always gentle and kind as she fed her delicious snacks.

She was stunned for a moment.

By the time she reacted, her aunt had already said a lot of outrageous words!

"Auntie! Stop talking! This is the princess! We are at the general's house now!"

She was extremely anxious.

Aunt Zheng was also confused. "What? Sister Lan, tell me again? Where is this? Who is she?"

"We are at the General Weiyuan's Mansion! She is Princess Mingzhu, Auntie. How come you are hard of hearing at such a young age?"

Ji Xiaolan leaned close to Aunt Zheng's ear and shouted with concern.

Mingyue was convinced. Were these two really not mother and daughter? How could they be so equally stupid?

Aunt Zheng turned her neck twitching, feeling embarrassed, very embarrassed.

"My Lady, I am ignorant and I don't know what's important. Why are you blaming me?"

"No need, please get up quickly."

Before, she didn't know this aunt and didn't know her temperament.

Now that she has seen him, Mingyue can tell from her perception that he is not a scheming person, and is even... a bit stupid...

The three of them were finally able to calm down and sit together to chat.

Mingyue expressed her apology, but Aunt Zheng kept saying that she dared not.

Even when she heard Mingyue was trying to force her to tell the truth, she agreed again and again, still feeling terrified. "I was really scared just now. If I were really the bad guy, I might have confessed!"

Mingyue had already assigned her to her own team, so she told her about Ji Xiaolan.

This time, there was clearly something wrong with Aunt Zheng's attitude.

It was as if he was pretending to be surprised.

"Mrs. Zheng, you know about this, right?"

Aunt Zheng paused, "What is the princess talking about? I don't know."

"Mrs. Zheng, do you think Lanlan's life will be like this? Do you want her to stay fat like this?"

From her observation just now, it can be seen that Aunt Zheng really treats Ji Xiaolan well.

Then we can start from this aspect.

"Have you ever thought about this? She's going to be an old maid soon. If she doesn't get married, she'll become an old maid. Who will take care of her when you're all gone?"

The corners of Aunt Zheng's mouth twitched.

Mingyue didn't give her a chance to speak, "Her brother?"

"Her brother is about sixteen or seventeen, I guess. I'm afraid he's never been able to find a good husband because he has a sister like this."

"Think about it, when her brother gets married and has children in the future, will he still treat Lanlan the same way he does now?"

Aunt Zheng seemed to imagine the scene described by Mingyue, and her figure became a little hunched, "I...I...I don't want to..."
