After being reborn, her aloof ex-husband and her crazy deceased husband got into a fight.
Chapter 244 A Misunderstanding Without a Misunderstanding
Although Lan Tingzhou suffered a minor fracture, it is said that a broken bone takes a hundred days to heal, and even a minor fracture requires bed rest. Originally, Gan Cai'er planned to return directly to the capital so that Lan Tingzhou could return home to recuperate.
But Lan Tingzhou refused.
He said his injuries were not serious and he was fine, so he decided to rest there and return to Kyoto with the rest of the group after the summer hunt.
The summer hunt only lasted ten days, so Gan Cai'er didn't insist. However, she didn't visit Lan Tingzhou's camp again in the past few days.
Xiao Hong was so anxious she was pacing around in circles.
"Miss, the young master helped you with your poisoning even when he was injured. Now that he's ill, why don't you go and see him?"
Gan Cai'er withdrew her gaze from the distance, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "It might be better for him to recover if I don't go."
"Seeing me will only annoy him."
"Well, they're being difficult again!" Seeing Gan Cai'er's gloomy appearance, Xiao Hong sighed helplessly. "Fine, if Miss isn't going, I'll go in her place."
Xiao Hong was carrying a pot of bone broth when Mo Yan ran over from afar before she even got close to Lan Tingzhou's tent.
"Sister Xiaohong, you've finally arrived." After saying that, he craned his neck and looked straight behind Xiaohong.
"What about the young lady?"
“They refuse to come.” Xiao Hong shook her head, then leaned closer to Mo Yan and whispered, “Do you know what those two are up to this time?”
"I don't know," Mo Yan said with a bitter face. "These past few days, the young master has been looking sullen and hasn't said a word. Mo Yun and I don't dare to go forward. The young master comes every day, but every time he comes, he gets scolded."
"Sister Xiaohong, let me tell you, the young master is burning with lust. You should have the young mistress come over," Mo Yan whispered.
"If I could get anyone to come, would I need to do it alone?" Xiao Hong said irritably. "That person is also sulking."
Thinking about how down Gan Cai'er had been these past two days, Xiao Hong sighed heavily: "She was perfectly fine, I don't know what she's been up to."
Seeing Xiao Hong enter, Lan Tingzhou's cold expression softened slightly. But upon seeing that only Xiao Hong had come, his softened expression turned cold again.
"Young master, this is bone broth that Miss specially asked someone to make for you." Xiao Hong served the broth to Lan Tingzhou.
"Is she still angry?" Lan Tingzhou took the soup and asked calmly.
“Miss wasn’t very angry. She paid someone to make this bone broth, and it simmered for three whole hours,” Xiao Hong said.
If you're not very angry, then you're still angry. Lan Tingzhou lowered her eyes and slowly finished her soup.
"Young master, is there some misunderstanding between you and Miss?" Xiao Hong asked.
“There’s no misunderstanding.” Lan Tingzhou shook his head.
His careless words hurt Gan Cai'er, so it wasn't a misunderstanding. She had every right to be angry.
"Xiao Hong, who was the woman who took me there on the day the lady was poisoned?" Lan Tingzhou put down the bowl and looked at Xiao Hong.
Xiao Hong's hand trembled as she was clearing the dishes, and she almost dropped them.
"Um, um, I don't know either. Maybe it's the Imperial Guard?" Xiao Hong forced herself to calm down.
"Is it the Meng family's Black Eagle Guard?" Lan Tingzhou said calmly.
With a sharp "crack," the soup bowl shattered into four or five pieces, lying quietly on the ground. Little Red stood frozen beside it, staring at Lan Tingzhou in terror.
Oh no, her son-in-law found out! But how could he know?! She'd only used it once!! Xiao Hong's mind was in complete chaos, and her heart was pounding.
Seeing Xiao Hong's blank expression, Lan Tingzhou felt a slight pang in his heart. Sure enough, those two women were Meng Yu's people.
"How many people did Meng Yu arrange in total?"
Hearing the name "Meng Yu" from Lan Tingzhou's mouth, Xiao Hong suddenly felt a sense of relief, realizing she had nothing left to hide. She figured her son-in-law already knew most of what he needed to know.
So she whispered, "I don't know either."
“Young Master Meng once gave me a bone flute, saying that in case of emergency, I could blow the bone flute and someone would come to my rescue.”
"On the day Miss was poisoned, I saw that the situation was not good, so I played the bone flute. This was also the first time I used the bone flute. Later, I lost consciousness and did not know how many people came. In the end, when I woke up, I only saw Sister Xuan Ying."
Xiao Hong honestly recounted everything she knew, then cautiously glanced at Lan Tingzhou. He sat there silently, his face cold and slightly pale, without uttering a word.
After a long silence, Lan Tingzhou asked, "Does Madam also know about this?"
Lan Tingzhou's voice was calm, but Xiao Hong trembled inexplicably. She didn't dare to speak and only nodded twice.
A hand with distinct knuckles suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Hong.
"Bring the bone flute."
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Hong took out the bone flute from her bosom and placed it on the flute. After all, Lan Tingzhou was the young lady's husband, and it was inappropriate for her to be carrying something given to the young lady by another man.
It was a very small flute with a peculiar shape; it was more like a whistle than a flute. Lan Tingzhou's eyes were dark and unfathomable. He rubbed the bone flute between his fingertips for a long time before finally handing it back to Xiao Hong.
"Keep the bone flute safe. Kyoto is going through a turbulent time, so please take good care of Madam."
The moment Lan Tingzhou received the bone flute, he wanted to destroy it himself. But how could Ding Peilan possibly mobilize the Imperial Guards and clear out the camp? Then, thinking of the impending storm in the capital, he returned the bone flute to Xiao Hong.
Gan Cai'er's safety is of paramount importance.
Holding the bone flute she had lost and found, Xiao Hong suddenly looked up at Lan Tingzhou and said, "Young Master, Miss loves you dearly. The day you fell from your horse, Miss ran over to you as if her life depended on it. I have never seen Miss so panicked."
"Also, every time Miss mentions Miss Shen, she gets upset for a long time."
It's Shen Yunxi again! What did I do in my past life to make her so determined to believe that I like Shen Yunxi? Lan Tingzhou really wanted to drag out my past self and ask her clearly.
Just then, Mo Yan suddenly lifted the curtain and strode in.
"Young master, Princess Pingyao requests an audience."
