Marrying a Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the
Chapter 622 Looking at each other
Lin Ran pondered, "Of course we can't recognize her, but those who have seen her will be able to determine her identity based on her figure and eyes. Please trouble Minister Han to inquire about her further!"
Han Shangshu pointed at his nose in grievance, "Why me again? As the Minister of Justice, you're in a position of authority to investigate everyone."
Lin Ran said, "I can't abuse my power for personal gain. After all, my father didn't tell me to go back and cry!"
Minister Han suddenly wilted like an eggplant hit by frost. He was completely controlled by the crying father incident.
He brought the shopkeeper back to the teahouse and asked him to send someone out to investigate.
About half an hour later, a clue was finally found. It turned out to be the owner of a pharmacy in the west of the city who came to identify the person.
He said in a deep voice, "This is the young man who just left my pharmacy. He said he came from the Medicine Valley and is very familiar with identifying herbs!"
Han Shangshu immediately asked, "Do you know where she went?"
The pharmacy owner shook his head: "I don't know!"
Just when Han Shangshu thought the clue was about to end, someone else came up and said, "I've seen her too. She even bought ten kilograms of kerosene from my shop!"
Han Shangshu's expression suddenly changed. Ten kilograms of kerosene? That means setting a fire!
This is no small matter!
He immediately rushed to report to Lin Ran, and he immediately remembered the night when the Gu family ancestral temple was suddenly hit by a fire.
There were five bodies in total, all burned to charcoal.
It turned out that it was the woman from the Medical Valley who did it!
At this point in the investigation, Minister Han naturally could no longer intervene.
Lin Ran took out some tonics and stuffed them into his hands: "Here, go back and tell your father to take good care of him. When my father's injustice is redressed, I will take his pulse again and make sure he lives a few more years in good health!"
Han Shangshu burst into tears of joy: "Brother, thank you so much!"
Lin Ran urged: "Hurry up, these are the only medicines I have left. If those old imperial censors see you, you might not be able to take them out!"
Minister Han immediately put it in his arms and ran away.
As soon as he ran to the door, he saw the imperial censors coming towards him.
In a panic, he shouted, "Get out of the way! I can't hold the shit in my stomach any more! Don't let it get on you!"
Several old imperial censors originally wanted to ask him what he was holding in his arms, but when they heard his words, they immediately took a few steps back to avoid him.
Minister Han disappeared in an instant like a gust of wind.
The old censors realized the situation belatedly and started to scold him for being cunning.
Lin Ran didn't care about the commotion outside. He delivered the news to Lin Yiwan at the Li Palace and asked in a low voice, "Why did she set fire to the Gu family temple?"
Lin Yiwan was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke, "If I'm not mistaken, one of the five charred bodies was Gu Lanxin, and the one who's still alive should be Chen Xiyue!"
Lin Ran understood immediately. He frowned and said, "I didn't expect her to be so cruel. She actually burned Gu Lanxin alive to take her place!"
Lin Yiwan sighed, "Let's go catch her. The grudges in Medical Valley must be resolved!"
At this time, Chen Xiyue was in the tea room, answering the questioning of Mrs. Hu from the Minister of War's residence. She asked with concern, "Lan Xin, are the burns on your face okay? Are you sure they won't leave scars?"
Chen Xiyue's face was covered with a veil, revealing only a pair of eyes that were very similar to Gu Lanxin's.
Although she was unhappy in her heart, she didn't show it at all in her attitude.
She said gently, "Mother has found the best doctor to treat my injuries. Madam, there is no need to worry!"
Mrs. Hu was very satisfied with her. She felt that the girl had a soft voice, especially her delicate accent, which was easy to control. This made her feel that she had made the right choice for her daughter-in-law.
She quickly took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into Chen Xiyue's hand, saying, "Good boy, even if you have a scar, your aunt won't mind. Our two families are well-matched, so we should be in-laws!"
Chen Xiyue's eyes immediately turned red. She shyly turned her face away, mumbling, "Lan Xin is also willing to honor her aunt!"
Mrs. Gu breathed a sigh of relief, her daughter almost agreed to the marriage.
As long as she can be married off successfully, I can put my mind at ease.
She smiled happily and said, "Since both our families are very satisfied with this marriage, why not set a date quickly? After all, our Lan Xin's dowry has already been prepared!"
Mrs. Hu nodded with satisfaction: "I can't wait for my daughter-in-law to come in and see what Lan Xin thinks!"
Gu Lanxin whispered, "It's all up to mother and Madam Hu!"
Madam Gu reached out and tapped her head: "Look at you, why are you still being so distant? You are now her daughter-in-law, acknowledged by her very own mouth!"
She changed her words: "Lan Xin is entirely up to my mother-in-law!"
Mrs. Hu immediately held her chest and said, "Oh my! How could our Hu family be so lucky to marry such a wonderful girl as our daughter-in-law? This little mouth of hers is enough to kill me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside.
Immediately afterwards, the housekeeper beside Mrs. Gu appeared in front of everyone with an anxious look on her face. She clenched her fists tightly, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
Madam Gu immediately noticed something was wrong and stood up immediately, saying, "Maybe there's something going on in the mansion that needs me help. You two can chat for a while while I go out and take a look!"
Mrs. Hu nodded: "Okay, just go and get busy!"
Madam Gu took the housekeeper outside and asked unhappily, "How dare you barge in so hastily? Don't you know how your future mother-in-law will look upon the young lady?"
The housekeeper confessed guiltily, "I didn't mean to do that, but Lord Lin, the Minister of Justice, is here. He wants to catch the real culprit who set the ancestral temple on fire!"
Mrs. Gu was stunned: "The real murderer? Wasn't it just an accident?"
The housekeeper shook her head: "Master Lin said that the real culprit is in our Gu Mansion, and he urged you to go and see him as soon as possible!"
Madam Gu frowned and was silent for a moment before she instructed, "Take a few people with you to guard the main courtyard. Don't let Madam Hu notice anything. If she misunderstands, it will definitely affect Lan Xin's marriage!"
The housekeeper responded respectfully, turned around and gave the order.
When Mrs. Gu brought people to the front yard, she saw Lin Ran standing in the hall with a stern expression.
She smiled and said, "Master Lin, isn't the case of the Gu family temple arson case already closed? Why did you come to our Gu Mansion to apprehend the real culprit?"
Lin Ran asked directly, "Madam Gu, where is the woman who survived the fire now?"
Madam Gu looked at him in astonishment: "Are you talking about my daughter Lan Xin? She's recuperating in the backyard!"
Lin Ran said obscurely: "You have seen her appearance, are you sure she is your daughter?"
Mrs. Gu's whole body tensed up and she subconsciously clenched her fingers.
Before sending her daughter to the family temple, she was very sure!
But since she came back, she hasn't seen her true appearance.
But the eyes and voice are clearly the same.
