The retired man went into the wrong book, and his beautiful husband loved him

When Xu Yian changed his clothes and walked out of the tent, he saw Lu Tan kneeling on the ground with blood in his mouth.

She was startled: "Sister, what... is going on?"

Xu Yian looked at Lin Qiqi in confusion, but Lin Qiqi spread her hands innocently and said, "I just used the Truth Talisman for her convenience. Who knew she would be so fiery and almost bit her tongue off trying to keep quiet?"

"Ah?" Xu Yian was shocked. "What should we do now?"

Lin Qiqi said helplessly: "There is no way. Even if she bites her tongue to commit suicide, she still has to say what she should say today." As she spoke, she took out a pill from her sleeve, handed it to Yunhai, and signaled him to feed it to Lu Tan.

Yunhai took the medicine, pinched Lutan's chin, and forced the medicine into her mouth.

Lu Tan still wanted to struggle, but Yun Hai held her jaw tightly, not giving her any chance to spit it out.

Fortunately, the pill melted in his mouth, and soon Lu Tan's bitten tongue began to heal.

Lu Tan widened her eyes and looked at Lin Qiqi and Yun Hai in disbelief, her eyes filled with horror.

Yun Hai looked at the medicine in his hand with a distressed look on his face, thinking: Madam's medicine must be extraordinary, how could it be wasted like this? But he did not dare to disobey Madam's order and could only sigh silently.

Lu Tan was stunned, knowing there was no way to escape this. She'd been resisting the urge to tell the truth, finally making up her mind to self-harm, only to have it healed in the blink of an eye. Even if she had three hundred percent more courage, she wouldn't bite her tongue again, because it hurt so much.

Lin Qiqi doesn't feel bad about the medicine. The principle of this medicine is the same as that of the healing talisman. She has only researched it in the past two days, so it's a good opportunity to try it with green sandalwood.

"Tell me why you wanted to murder Miss Xu. You won't feel bad if you tell me." Lin Qiqi looked at Lu Tan with a smile.

Lu Tan trembled all over and finally gave up resisting.

"I hate her. She took my identity." Lu Tan said hatefully, looking at Xu Yian with eyes like a poisonous snake.

Huh? Lin Qiqi was stunned. What kind of plot was this? How dare they write such a bold one? She looked at Lu Tan's face. It was good. Her father was dead, but her mother was alive. This meant her mother was likely Concubine Fan, but her father was definitely not Lord Xu.

When Xu Yian heard this, his expression did not change, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Lu Tan stopped kneeling and sat down on the ground. "I heard it with my own ears, so it can't be wrong! Half a year ago, I overheard a conversation between Auntie and Madam Liu. At that time, Madam Liu told Auntie that the young lady would soon be fifteen years old and it was time for her coming-of-age ceremony, and Auntie's mission was almost complete. For so many years, she had placed her own daughter by the young lady's side, allowing her to learn a lot. Now she has grown into a beautiful young lady. When the young lady gets married, I will definitely receive a gift to find a good marriage for Lu Tan, and she will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."

Lu Tan's voice became increasingly agitated, filled with anger and resentment, as she continued to roar, "I'm clearly your aunt's biological daughter, yet I can only serve as a lowly servant, while she enjoys wealth and luxury, living a life of luxury. I'm clearly just a concubine's daughter, yet I enjoy even more glory than the legitimate daughter in the mansion. Everything should belong to me!"

Lu Tan's emotions became increasingly out of control, his voice growing louder and louder, almost as if he was about to scream.

Before Xu Yian could speak, Hongyu, who had remained silent, stepped forward and said softly, "The young lady is not Aunt Fan's biological daughter. Lu Tan, you should also be aware of this."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tan was shocked. She suddenly raised her head and looked straight at Xu Yian with an expression of disbelief on her face.

Xu Yian's expression remained calm, without a trace of surprise. She said calmly, "This matter is no longer a secret in Yue'an Garden. Lu Tan, could it be that even you have forgotten it? I never thought you were Concubine Fan's daughter."

Hongyu, who was standing beside him, also asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Could it be that Lu Tan was seriously injured when he was ten years old, causing him to lose this memory?"

After hearing this, Lin Qiqi couldn't help but look up at the sky, muttering to herself, if all this wasn't deliberately arranged by God, it would be too unbelievable!

Xu Yian then continued to explain, "Aunt Fan was originally my biological mother's maid. She later brought me to my father. My father, grateful for her kindness, gave her the position of concubine and raised her in the Xu Mansion. Everyone who has followed me since childhood knows this very well." He then added, "So even if you are Aunt Fan's daughter, you cannot be my father's biological child. The relationship between my father and Aunt Fan is only a nominal one."

Hearing this, Lu Tan was completely stunned. She never expected that the truth would be so unexpected.

Lin Qiqi gritted her teeth and yelled, "Ice cream~"

However, after waiting for a long time, the ice cream cone did not appear. Apparently, the little guy chose to play dumb at the critical moment and did not intend to respond to her at all.

"Don't hide in there and keep silent. I know you are at home. Ice cream cone, you have these in your database. What can I expect from you? Just change your name. From now on, you will be called Xiao Wuxing." Lin Qiqi wanted to complain. Every time she gave information, it was so off-base that she couldn't rely on her!

"Why is it Xiaowu?" Ice Cream couldn't help but asked weakly.

Lin Qiqi sneered: "Because you are just a five!"

After saying that, Lin Qiqi opened the interface and changed the image of the ice cream cone back to a flower: "Just float away, you don't even deserve such a cute little white cat image!"

Ice Cream Cone was very depressed. What could it do? This was what was written in the plot database. Who knew there were so many hidden plots? It was annoying.

"Okay, even if you have doubts about your identity, why did you choose to attack Miss Xu at this time?" Lin Qiqi interrupted their conversation and asked directly.

Lu Tan no longer concealed the truth. She was now very panicked. She originally thought that since she was the concubine of the Xu family, someone would protect her even if she killed the impostor. However, if her identity was unknown and she had no connection with the Xu family, she would be beaten to death on the spot if she tried to murder her master as a slave.

Lu Tan lowered his head and said tremblingly, "Half a month ago, the second young mistress of the Yun Mansion sent someone to find me and asked if the young lady had a screen embroidered with clouds and cranes, symbolizing good fortune. She also offered me a hundred taels of silver as a reward. I told her that I had never seen a screen with clouds and cranes embroidered on it."

Lin Qiqi frowned and asked, "Then what?"

Lu Tan continued, "That person said that the young lady must have been hiding something from me on purpose. There's something hidden behind that screen. Three months from now, the young lady will make a stunning debut and be appreciated by a noble person. She'll probably become a person of high rank."

"I didn't believe it at first, but the day before yesterday, Lord Xu really did bring back a screen embroidered with a pattern of clouds and cranes. He didn't seem to care much for it and just casually placed it in his study."

"Taking advantage of the opportunity to leave the house, I went to Suzaku Street to leave a letter for Madam Yun Ershao. That was our agreement beforehand: if there was any news about the screen, I would leave a message with the owner of her restaurant on Suzaku Street."

"That night, someone came to me again and gave me a silver note worth 10,000 taels. They asked me to find a way to severely injure the young lady, preferably so that she couldn't leave her house for three months, or to do something even more ruthless and make her unable to leave her house forever. If the latter was the case, she would give me another 20,000 taels."

"So I took action. I didn't know what Madam Yun's purpose was. I just thought that if I could really get rid of her, maybe I could take the opportunity to restore my identity." Lu Tan's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and his face became paler.

She didn't expect that someone was secretly protecting Xu Yian. Perhaps her actions had been under someone else's eyes from the very beginning. It was really stupid.

"You said it was the second young master's wife of the Yun family who ordered you to do that. Who can prove it? She hasn't even met you in person." Lin Qiqi was speechless. No way, no way, the heroine is really harming people? How is this different from Qi Erha in "Legend of Huan Huan"?

Lu Tan was also stunned. The maid said Lin Xin'er had ordered it, but she hadn't verified it. Even if she insisted it was Lin Xin'er, she wouldn't admit it. At most, she would find a scapegoat. She was really stupid, blinded by greed!

"What are you going to do?" Lin Qiqi walked up to Xu Yian and asked.

Xu Yian raised his eyes to look at Lu Tan, his eyes a little cold: "I can spare your life because of Aunt Fan's years of care for you, but you should understand the principle of being unfaithful once, and you won't be unfaithful a hundred times. Let's discuss this after we return home."

After saying this, Xu Yian turned around and saluted Lin Qiqi. "Thanks to you, sister, I was able to escape this disaster this time. I wonder if you know when I offended Madam Yun Ershao to bring about such a fatal disaster."

"I'm afraid Lin Xiner heard the news and learned about Miss Xu's later adventure, so she wanted to take the risk and take her place. Do you understand what I mean?" Lin Qiqi asked tentatively, not sure whether Xu Yian knew her true identity.

Xu Yian frowned: "Then she is really stupid and doesn't know it."

Lin Qiqi knew immediately that this girl must be aware of her identity. She pulled her aside and asked in a low voice, "Do you know your origins?"

Xu Yian nodded. "Father and grandmother never hid this from me. It's just that this is a matter of great importance, and even Concubine Fan doesn't know the inside story. Although Concubine Fan serves Mother, she doesn't know her true identity. The screen is just an excuse. If there's no screen, there will be other things. After all, whatever I present at the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration, I will be rewarded. I don't know how Madam Yun, the Second Young Master, learned such royal secrets."

Lin Qiqi was just about to explain when she suddenly remembered the plot that Tiantong had mentioned. Wasn’t it about the mystery of one’s life experience uncovered by the soul from another world? But it turned out that the other person already knew it. How awesome!

"Lin Xin'er has some ulterior motives and her own ways, but her sources of information are inaccurate. She only discovered that you would be rewarded, but she doesn't know the reason. I'm afraid she'll suffer the consequences this time. She's already started embroidering the screen. Since she cares so much, let her continue." Lin Qiqi said with a smile. "Miss Xu fell into the water today. She needs to rest well."

Xu Yian understood, so she decided to let the news spread that she fell into the water and was too weak to go out.

"I haven't thanked my sister yet," Xu Yian took out the amulet, "I know it was this amulet that saved my life."

Lin Qiqi smiled and took the expired amulet. This was not an ordinary amulet. It contained the power of the Heavenly Dao, a few strands of which she had secretly extracted from the Heavenly Dao last time.

The souls from other worlds are the most intolerant of the Heavenly Dao. If they are discovered by the power of the Heavenly Dao, they will definitely be burned. However, now the soul from another world is only seriously injured, and I am afraid that it will come back and wait for an opportunity to strike.

Lin Qiqi looked at Xu Yian's luck value and saw no change. It seemed that the otherworldly soul had not been completely eliminated. Thinking of this, she took out a new amulet and handed it to Xu Yian.

"Although this calamity has passed, I'm afraid you'll be plotted against again. Until the dust settles, this talisman must not leave your body, and it must not be exposed to water," Lin Qiqi instructed. "If there's any abnormality with this talisman, send someone to find me immediately."

Xu Yian took the amulet and bowed again: "Thank you, sister. I will definitely repay you in the future."

Lin Qiqi looked at Xu Yian's rosy little face and finally couldn't help but pinch it. It felt really good.

Xu Yian was startled for a moment, but didn't reject it, and smiled with her eyes curved.

Yun Qing was watching from the side and felt so jealous that he wanted to pull Lin Qiqi's hand back immediately.

"Okay, it's getting late. Let Yunhai take you to the carriage at the foot of the mountain and go back home as soon as possible." Lin Qiqi winked at Yunhai.

Yunhai picked up the green sandalwood on the ground and followed Xu Yian to escort the master and servant.

"I'm still watching. Everyone has gone far away and I'm reluctant to leave." Lin Qiqi watched Xu Yian leave, and then she heard Yun Qing beside her start to act weird.

Looking back, Yun Qing's eyes were full of accusations, as if she was looking at a scumbag.

Lin Qiqi couldn't help but laugh: "You're really promising. You even get jealous of girls."

Yun Qing snorted and turned away: "Qiqi seems to be obsessed with that Miss Xu. It's an eyesore."

Lin Qiqi laughed heartily: "I feel the same way about her as I do about a three-year-old. She's just cute, that's all. Ah Qing's jealousy is totally unreasonable."

As the two were laughing and joking, a cool breeze suddenly blew around them.

"An An is back." Lin Qiqi took Yun Qing's hand and entered the farming space.

The ice cream cone was transformed into a small flower, and it sat under the lemon tree with its head drooping, feeling sad. When it saw Lin Qiqi coming in, it only raised its head to glance at her, then continued to sit under the tree and think about the other side.

Lin Qiqi remembered that Yun Qing couldn't see Liu Anyu, so she pinched the seal and tapped Yun Qing's left eye with her finger: "Let's listen to what An An saw."

Yun Qing felt his eyelids go cold, so he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he saw Liu Anyu floating in front of him.

Seeing Lin Qiqi looking at Liu Anyu with the same look as Xu Yian! Yun Qing felt jealous again. Qiqi was surrounded by not only annoying people but also annoying ghosts!

"Sister!" Liu Anyu called Lin Qiqi happily.

Yun Qing couldn't help but complain in her heart: Sister again, sister again, how many sisters does Qiqi have, and she calls them all sister! How annoying!

Lin Qiqi glanced at Yun Qing and nudged him with her elbow: "Be more normal, An An has something important to do."
