Ma'am, do you dare to answer?
Chapter 30
The whispering tone passed Qin Yun's ears, and the strings in her heart seemed to be plucked silently, causing ripples. Qin Yun panicked, stood up hastily, and answered the wrong question and said, "I, I'll go and see Look at my father." After speaking, she didn't dare to look at Lian Yan's expression, and ran out with her skirt in hand.
Lian Yan stretched out his hand to stop her, so he simply took this opportunity to explain clearly, but he brushed Qin Yun's clothes with his outstretched hand and then retracted it. Right now is really not a good time to talk about love, let alone cover up the green mountain. It's a mess, put it on Qin Jian | There is no trace of the poisoner, that is, the mess in Ouyang Lu at the foot of the mountain, and even Yan Yan didn't clean it up properly. If you pierce the window paper at this time, it's not impossible, but Lian Yan thinks Ms. may be a little wronged.
Sitting on the dressing table where Qin Yun had sat before, Lian Yan lowered her eyes, it was the first time she cared so much for someone, if the window paper was pierced, both of them would have to be distracted, neither could be tender and sweet Even if she wants to be affectionate and loving, she is still confused by all these trifles, and always lacks a bit of mellow atmosphere, which can't satisfy Lian Yan.
She simply endured it a little longer, and after the messy things about Canglan were settled, she brought Qin Yun back to the capital in the name of a marriage contract.Lian Yan made up his mind to pay attention, and the feeling of loss in his heart disappeared. He looked down at himself in the mirror, and brushed his hair with satisfaction. The eldest lady is still too tender, and she is not her match at all. , the appearance of running away shyly and timidly just now, even if he didn't say anything, even Yan guessed all kinds of things in his heart, but this feeling seems to be not bad.
Qin Yun left the small building almost as if running away. She was still out of breath when walking halfway, and it took a long time to make herself look less like a cooked shrimp. After taking a few breaths, he opened the door.
Qin Jian's condition didn't improve, on the contrary, it seemed to be getting worse. Although Qin Yun had a smile on her face, seeing Qin Jian's expression, her heart was also pulled up, and she immediately took care of those related to Lian Yan. Throwing away some messy and charming thoughts, she sat silently beside Qin Jian's hospital bed, wiping her forehead for Qin Jian.
Qin Jian could also feel that her body was getting worse and worse, and the time of falling asleep every day was longer than when she was awake. Now when she saw Qin Yun coming in, she raised her hand to stop her movement, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yun My son is here. Don't be busy, Xiaoshi will take care of me later."
"Yun'er can also take care of Dad." Qin Yun stubbornly held the handkerchief and did not let go.
Seeing her stubborn appearance, Qin Jian knew that the girl was not feeling well, so she teased her with a smile: "Then dad is truly blessed. My little princess takes care of dad himself. Dad has been blessed for several lifetimes."
"What did father say, it's not right for a daughter to respect father." Qin Yun responded lightly, and went to wipe Qin Jian's hands again, this time Qin Jian did not refuse again.
Looking at Qin Yun's eyebrows, he asked after a long time, "Is Zijin here? Why don't you see her come to see me?" Qin Jian was worried about Qin Yun. Before he reached a consensus with Lian Yan, he That heart has never stopped.
"She'll come later." Qin Yun was also not sure: "I'll ask someone to call her later."
But as soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door, and then Lian Yan pushed the door open and came in.
"I was talking about you, but it happened to be here." Qin Jian signaled Qin Yun not to work, leaned against the head of the bed, and greeted Lian Yan at the door: "Zi Jin, come and sit down."
Lian Yan looked at Qin Jian's face and felt a "thump" in his heart. It stands to reason that Qin Jian didn't drink the poisoned medicine anymore, so why is his face getting worse instead of getting better?
"Uncle Qin, how are you feeling recently?" Lian Yan was suspicious in his heart, but didn't show the slightest expression on his face. He sat beside Qin Yun and said this to Qin Jian enthusiastically.
Qin Jian felt relieved when she heard her call uncle when she came in, and nodded with a smile: "It's nothing, I feel much better. Zijin, what did you think about what uncle told you before?"
Lian Yan had her own plans and arrangements, and didn't want to go through Qin Jian, but since Qin Jian asked, she basically told Qin Jian about what she had seen and heard and the evidence she got from Wang Daya. Having said that, it's good to make him feel at ease.
"So, are you willing to help us?" Qin Jian said comfortably, "I really saw you right."
"After Ouyang Lu's matter is resolved, I promise that you will help Zicui Mountain re-arrange the way out, but I also have a request, and I hope Uncle Qin can agree to me." Lian Yan looked at Qin Jian and made his own request.
At that time, the dust has settled, she can't stay in Canglan City for a long time, so she can only ask for a promise from Qin Jian, so that she can take Qin Yun out of here smoothly, even Yan Yan thought carefully, just in case one.
"What request, you say, as long as I can do it, I will agree to you." Qin Jian had no ambiguity at all, he glanced at Qin Yun beside him, and said vaguely: "You have helped me so much. , Let alone one request, even ten or hundreds, it’s fine.”
"It's not the time to talk about it yet. I will tell Uncle Qin when the time comes." Lian Yan said, "It's a trivial matter, as long as Uncle Qin agrees."
Lian Yan turned his face to look at Qin Yun, seeing that her gaze was always on Qin Jian, he didn't pay much attention to it, but glanced past Qin Yun and saw the incense burner on the table, there was still smoke wafting from the incense burner, The thin curls quickly dissipated cleanly, as if it had never been there before.
Qin Jian saw that Lian Yan seemed to be running away and seemed unwilling to say too much, so he didn't continue to ask. He pulled the two of them to talk, and then told Lian Yan to pay more attention to Ouyang Lu's movements. Seeing Qin Jian's spirit was obvious It was much worse than before, and even Yan didn't dare to disturb his rest, so he took Qin Yun and left after staying for a while.
On the way back, Qin Yun was visibly depressed, she kept her head down and walked on her own, not talking to Lian Yan, Lian Yan knew that she was worried about Qin Jian's illness, and wanted to comfort her, but Qin Jian always wanted to comfort her. Yun Yun faced the reality, judging from this situation, Qin Jian probably wouldn't be able to survive this winter.On the one hand, Lian Yan felt that Qin Yun should do more foreshadowing so that she wouldn't panic when that day came, but she also didn't want to see her face the sadness of her loved ones disappearing day by day alone.
"You..." Lian Yan hesitated for a while, but stepped forward to grab Qin Yun's shoulder: "Master Qin will get better, don't be too sad."
"I'm not sad." Qin Yun looked up at Lian Yan: "Of course my father will get better, I was just thinking, obviously we have found out that the medicine was poisoned, and we stopped the poison | medicine, but why did I Dad's health doesn't seem to be improving at all, is the poison | medicine still in the body? Do you want to see another doctor?"
Seeing that Qin Yun was able to analyze the problem rationally, even Yan's worries eased a little. After thinking for a while, she said, "Let's check with the people around Master Qin as well. I think it may not be just about the medicine." She Thinking of the censer, Qin Jian is a rough person, such things as censers will only appear in Qin Yun's room at most, and he hasn't paid attention to himself to that extent.
"It's not just about the medicine?" Qin Yun frowned, puzzled: "Then what else could be the problem?"
"What's the problem, I don't know." Lian Yan sighed: "I checked the people you mentioned before, and there was nothing abnormal. I also secretly searched their residences, but I didn't find anything. There are traces of poison, which shows that this person has deep scheming and acts carefully and cautiously."
"You, have you visited Uncle Xia's room?" Qin Yun asked hesitantly, she didn't want to ask this out, Xia Qingshan was careful in doing things in Zicui Mountain, Xia Qingshan took care of many details that her father didn't consider Yes, Qin Yun didn't want to think about him, but what Lian Yan said that day always came to her mind.
She doesn't want to suspect anyone, but the murderer must be found!
"No." Lian Yan looked at Qin Yun's tangled appearance and felt a little distressed: "He is much more cautious than ordinary people, I'm afraid of making mistakes."
Qin Yun nodded and said nothing.Not having an answer is not the best answer, and not finding anything for several days in a row made her a little uneasy.
"Take me to the kitchen and have a look again." Lian Yan looked at the lost look in her eyes, and rubbed Qin Yun's hair: "Is the flower still in the kitchen? Maybe there will be other discoveries."
After Qin Yun found out that she was poisoned from the medicine, she went to guard several times, but since then, the person who poisoned did not appear again. Just like what Lian Yan said, this person is really Be careful, Hua'er decocts medicine every day, but this person doesn't go to poison every time. The interval between actions is too long, and there is randomness, so it is difficult to make more progress for a while.
Qin Yun took Lian Yan to the kitchen and told Lian Yan her thoughts, hoping that Lian Yan could combine these phenomena to get more results.
And Lian Yan did think of a problem that she had been ignoring before, and pulled Qin Yun to an empty high place, and Lian Yan said in a low voice: "We have never thought about what you said before. But Yuner, If it was only this level of poisoning, the body of Qin Dadang would not be eaten away so quickly. Perhaps Qin Dadang would be bedridden every winter and you didn’t care, but when I first went up to see him, he was obviously still alive. Very healthy, the occasional cough is just an occasional cold, you see him now?"
Lian Yan squeezed Qin Yun's shoulders, exerted a little force on his knuckles, and was afraid of hurting Qin Yun, so he quickly let go, and asked in a trembling voice: "Usually, who is taking care of Qin Yun's daily necessities?"
"Yes, it's a small stone." Qin Yun's lips were a little pale, and she kept rubbing her hands back and forth: "What do you mean? Explain clearly, don't be sloppy!"
"It's nothing interesting. I saw an incense burner in the room of Master Qin's family today, and I think it's a little suspicious. Doesn't the room of Master Qin usually light incense?" Lian Yan took her hand, held it in the palm of his hand and said: "We are just analyzing, Analyze all kinds of potential crises that may exist, if not, then naturally it is the best, but if there is, Yun'er, I hope you are mentally prepared."
"You suspect that it's not just that the medicine is poisonous, but that someone tampered with the incense burner?" Qin Yun broke free from Lian Yan's hand and walked back and forth uneasily: "My father really doesn't light incense, he doesn't like the smell, he thinks Too feminine. Do you doubt Little Stone? Most of the incense burners are also placed by him. The one who is usually closest to my father, who can touch him every day, and who can poison him at any time, can only take care of him personally. people!"
This answer made Qin Yun a little hard to accept, but she couldn't refute Lian Yan's speculation: "How could it be him? There must be a reason, right? Xiao Shitou has no relatives, and my father is his only relative. It's his home, how could it be him?"
"Don't get excited." Lian Yan felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have told Qin Yun so clearly. Firstly, she just speculated without evidence. Secondly, Qin Yun might not be able to accept this conjecture.
"It's not a question of being excited or not, it's..." Qin Yun stopped and looked at Lian Yan, but didn't know how to express the feeling in her heart.
"Forget it, I will pay attention to the little stone." Qin Yun knew that Lian Yan's words made sense.
If it was just poison in the medicine, then Qin Jian's health would not be getting worse day by day, and even now he has almost been in a state of coma all day long. If it wasn't for someone else to poison him, how could he be in such a state?
Except for Xiao Shitou, no one else could easily approach her father at any time. Even if Xiao Shitou hadn't been under the poisonous hand of Xiao Shitou, he should have noticed something abnormal, but there was nothing!How could there be nothing!
"I'll check the matter of the incense burner quietly. If it's just ordinary incense, I'm overthinking." Lian Yan stepped forward, pressed Qin Yun's shoulder and said, "But, you have to be prepared and don't mess around." , Master Qin is sick now, and you are the backbone of Jicui Mountain. If you are also in chaos, it will be just like Ouyang Lu's wish. You have to remember that there are still soldiers stationed at the foot of the mountain, and Ouyang Lu can fight up at any time. Since he If you are ambitious, you won't worry about me too much, Yun'er, I can't do much, especially now. Do you understand?"
Qin Yun stared at Lian Yan's eyes almost subconsciously and nodded: "I know."
"That's good." Lian Yan raised his hand and rubbed Qin Yun's cheek: "No matter what happens, I will be by your side, so don't be afraid."
do not be afraid.The four words silently melted in Qin Yun's mouth, she was really afraid.For so many years from childhood to adulthood, Qin Yun's biggest distress was reading and practicing the piano every day and learning endless poems and songs. How can I not be afraid?
Not only was she afraid, but she also felt very lonely. Suddenly there was no one she could trust in such a huge mountain. If Lian Yan hadn't appeared, Qin Yun really didn't know what to do.
Perhaps this is the fate that Lian Yan will come to Jacui Mountain, that Lian Yan will be trusted by Qin Jian from the beginning, and that Lian Yan will eventually become her support.For a moment, Qin Yun was fortunate, she was extremely grateful that Lian Yan could stand by her side, so that she could have a direction, instead of wandering aimlessly here and there alone.
From the entrance of the kitchen, Hua'er can be seen squatting on the side picking vegetables. The aunt at the door is talking to Hua'er with a smile.Seeing her looking over, Qin Yun nodded to her, then took Lian Yan to the kitchen.
She had just walked to the door when she saw a figure shaking inside. Qin Yun's sharp eyes saw Xiao Shitou's figure at a glance, and immediately scolded: "What are you doing!"
Xiao Shitou was startled, and the lid of the medicine Gu in his hand fell to the ground and shattered, Qin Yun's face was livid, and he strode up to Xiao Shitou, staring at him, and asked forcefully, "What were you doing just now? "
Little Shitou didn't seem to understand why the eldest lady was so angry, and said in a daze: "Just, look at the medicine of the eldest master, what's wrong?"
"Say it again!" Qin Yun bit her lip, grabbed Xiao Shishi's skirt, and said in a hateful voice, "What did you put in the medicine? You bastard!"
Lian Yan followed behind Qin Yun, if she didn't come in first, she would see the little stone furtively using Qin Jian's medicinal poison, before she had time to pull Qin Yun, Qin Yun had already rushed in, Lian Yan had no choice but to Followed in, took the opened medicinal Gu aside and tested the poison, but the silver needle in his hand did not change color, Lian Yan put away the silver needle and shook his head at Qin Yun.
"No."
Qin Yun looked back at Lian Yan as if confirming and asked again: "Really?"
Watching the exchange between the two, Xiao Shitou broke free from Qin Yun's shackles, pointed at Qin Yun and yelled in disbelief, "Do you suspect that I poisoned the master?"
Qin Yun knew she was in the wrong, and was about to explain, when Xiao Shitou continued impatiently: "I saw Hua'er picking vegetables outside, and I just took care of the medicine for her when I smelled the smell. You doubt me? Qin Yun, Don't treat yourself as a eldest lady, you can wrong people casually, no one in the whole Zhecui Mountain knows that you are not born of the head of the family at all! What kind of filial daughter are you pretending to be here at the moment, you think you just treat him as your own Dad, I also treat him as my own father. Don’t think that calling you Miss is enough to treat you as Miss. If the boss didn’t pity you, you would still be able to show off your power here? Dream on!”
"What did you say? Say it again!" Qin Yun's face paled for a moment: "What do you mean I wasn't born by my father? Please explain it to me clearly!"
"Clear? If you don't understand clearly, you don't understand?" Xiao Shitou snorted coldly with disdain: "Look at how much you look like a head to toe? What do you mean you look like your mother? Have you seen your mother before?" Is it? With your foxy face, I don’t know which vixen doesn’t want it. I’m so stupid, I’ll treat you as a baby, weigh yourself first, and then talk! You’ve wronged me, Whoever wrongs me is not your turn!"
"Shut up, you're talking nonsense!" Qin Yun staggered the little stone with all her strength, and said firmly, "If you continue to spread rumors, I won't be able to get around you!"
"Can't get around me?" Xiao Shitou sneered: "Why can't you get around me? Hit me or scold me? Missy, please calm down, the big boss will die soon, who will protect you when I see it, Qin Yun and I I advise you to know the good and the bad."
"You..." Qin Yun's eyes were red from anger, and she was about to go forward to argue with Xiao Shitou, but was pulled back by the person behind her.
Lian Yan took only three or two steps to protect Qin Yun behind him, and then locked the small stone with his backhand, pressing it on the chopping board, and asked in a deep voice: "What are you guilty of?"
With his face turned to the chopping board, Xiao Shitou struggled impatiently: "Why am I guilty? Maybe some people are guilty? I have no father or mother, at least I have a clean background, but some people still can't figure out where they came from. Come on! Oh, how ridiculous!"
Lian Yan exerted all his strength on the arm that was pressing on the small stone, and said in a cool voice: "If you keep yelling, I don't think you want this arm anymore."
The little stone screamed in pain, and led the flowers outside the door in. The flowers were holding a pot of vegetables, looking at the scene inside, not knowing what was going on for a while, first shouted at the little stone: "You What did you do wrong? Hurry up and apologize to Master Lian!"
"Master Lian?" Little Shitou tilted his mouth and glanced at Lian Yan: "Master Lian, I was wrong, you can let me go." It was just that there was a shouting ruffian in that tone: "Quickly let me go, Miss! If I were you, I would first ask who my parents are before the head of the family is confused, so as to save myself from having nowhere to go to the grave in the future! Here, the flowers are here too, if you don’t believe me, ask her , Who in the entire Zicui Mountain doesn't know that you, Qin Yun, are the bastard whose father and mother don't know!"
"You!" Hua'er's expression changed: "Little Shitou, don't stop talking! Don't you want to die!"
Lian Yan twisted Xiao Shitou's arm, then raised his leg and kicked him heavily in the abdomen, Xiao Shitou curled up in pain, biting his mouth and still cursing and swearing.Lian Yan glanced at Qin Yun's pale face, feeling pain in his heart, grabbed the small stone and pushed it into the water tank next to him.
"Don't listen to his nonsense." Lian Yan turned back calmly and said, "This person is guilty, and deliberately said something to distract us, Yun'er, don't be misled by him."
After speaking, he took Xiao Shitou's head out of the water tank, looked at his wet and shivering appearance, sneered and said: "If you calm down and leave, you will also leave, and I won't notice, just I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this time. Tell me, what is this? Who ordered you?" While speaking, Xiaoshi took out a small paper bag, held the paper bag between his index finger and middle finger, and held it in front of Xiaoshi, shaking his head. Said: "Do you know what unnecessary action is? Your acting skills are really bad. Don't forget that you have a guilty conscience. The more you move, the more flaws you will have!"
Qin Yun looked at what Lian Yan had turned over from the small stone with a dazed expression, her mouth grew wide in surprise, and when she heard Lian Yan calling her, she hurried forward to get the medicine bag, poured a little into the medicine cup, and sure enough Seeing the silver hairpin in her hand change color, Qin Yun held up the silver hairpin to Lian Yan with trembling hands: "It's really poisonous."
She couldn't believe it, she looked at Lian Yan and then at Xiao Shitou, her breathing became a little rough: "You poisoned my father?"
"Why did you poison my father!" Qin Yun strode over holding the hairpin, and slapped Xiao Shitou on the face: "You treat him as your own father, and you say you treat him as your Qin father, why did you poison him? Poison! Why!"
The force of that slap was too great. Not only was half of Qin Yun's hand numb from the shock, but also half of Xiao Shi's face was swollen when he pressed Xiao Shi. What to say, but the concern in the eyes can't be concealed.
Xiao Shitou looked at Qin Yun nonchalantly and said, "Why, you don't care!"
Hua'er stood where she was, and the vegetables in her hand fell all over the floor. She still didn't realize what happened. She stared blankly at the blackened hairpin in Qin Yun's hand, and then at the little stone, and suddenly realized: "It was you who poisoned the master!"
"Say, why did you betray Jicui Mountain!" Qin Yun clenched the hairpin in her hand, and asked with all her strength, "Did my father treat you so badly before? Why did you hurt him so much!"
Little Shitou knew that he couldn't escape, so he simply closed his eyes, didn't answer every question, pretended to be dead and didn't say anything.Forced Qin Yun felt the hairpin pressing against his throat, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll ask you one last time, why did you want to kill my father?"
The cold hairpin touched his skin, Xiao Shitou opened his eyes, curled his lips at Qin Yun, and said bravely: "Miss, you should be careful, that person is not your own father, for someone who has nothing to do with you, if you mess with him again It's not worthwhile to get killed. Besides, it's up to you, do you dare?"
"Try to say it again!" Qin Yun's eyes were red, but she couldn't use her hand to hold the hairpin.
Lian Yan took away the hairpin from Qin Yun's hand with one hand, then pulled the little stone back two steps, Qin Yun said to the little stone after a little distance: "She doesn't dare, guess I dare?"
Looking at Lian Yan's cold, temperatureless eyes, Xiao Shitou couldn't help but flinch a bit, then swallowed his saliva as if remembering something, and said: "Master Lian, you don't know how, you are an official of the imperial court, you are an official with them. Such bandits are different. You won’t do it.” He wanted to smile earnestly at Lian Yan as he spoke, but unfortunately, when the dagger pierced his skin, Xiao Shitou couldn’t laugh anymore, he struggled and begged Lian Yan : "My lord, my lord is merciful, we are our own people, you can't treat me like this, my lord."
"Why not?" Lian Yan stopped what she was doing, raised her eyebrows and asked, "My own person? So, you are Lord Ouyang's subordinate?" She just guessed casually, but she didn't expect to get Xiao Shitou's crazy nod: " Yes, yes, Lord Ouyang asked me to deliver the news for him here, we are our own people, our own people! Don't accidentally hurt yourself!"
Lian Yan glanced at Qin Yun, seeing that Qin Yun was frowning tightly, not knowing what he was thinking, then looking at Xiao Shitou, he knew that he had misunderstood her relationship with Ouyang Lu, thinking that he was the same as him, but it was Ouyang When Lu sent him to the undercover agent in Jicui Mountain, he simply put down the hairpin and asked pretending to be skeptical, "Then how can I trust you?"
Xiao Shitou swallowed: "Master Ouyang asked me to send him a message on the mountain, saying that when the time comes, someone will come and take me away."
The movement inside the house caught the attention of the cook outside, who yelled, Lian Yan covered Xiao Shitou's mouth that was about to call for help, and gave Hua'er a wink: "Go and send the person at the door away."
Hua'er reacted quickly, and hurried out. Seeing this, Xiao Shitou hurriedly said to Lian Yan: "There are strange things everywhere on this mountain. They all know that you are a member of the court. Let's leave here quickly."
"Really?" Lian Yan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Qin Yun before asking: "What's so weird?"
"A cottage is always mysterious and secretive. It doesn't want to have a good relationship with the imperial court, but it wants to stay far away from the imperial court. It doesn't want the benefits of being delivered to the door. It doesn't rob but has endless money. Where did it come from?" Xiao Shitou moved his arms and said to Lian Yan: "My lord, let me go, this young lady is also a fake, she won't be of much use."
"Oh?" Lian Yanfu asked back: "Ouyang Lu asked you to inoculate that poison? Did you also put the incense burner in Qin Jian's room? What's wrong with that incense burner?"
"The censer is lit with soul-destroying incense. Qin Jian has been poisoned by fire before, and every winter, he will be poisoned. The one in your hand is just a primer. The incense is the highlight. The incense will unconsciously follow The fire poison in his body is mixed together, and when the poison is released, it is no different from the fire poison, and there is no difference at all." Xiao Shitou was a little excited: "Master Ouyang said that as long as Qin Jian dies, Zhecui Mountain will be ours The site is gone, I will be in charge of such a good site in the future, and the treasures hidden in the Jicui Mountain will also belong to me!"
"Treasure?" Qin Yun murmured, "You killed my father for the treasure? Who told you that there is a treasure on the mountain?"
"Hmph!" Xiao Shitou snorted disdainfully: "Otherwise, how could such a large village survive without looting and relying solely on farming? The people on this mountain are all in the same group as Qin Jian. Appearing in Canglan, I want to hold that treasure and hide my name here! The eldest lady has been on the mountain for so long, don’t you know that Jiecui Mountain never accepts outsiders? All the people inside and outside here are the old department who came here with Qin Jian , except for me and Hua'er who were picked up in the entire Zicui Mountain, all the others followed Qin Jian and moved to Canglan!"
Lian Yan frowned at these words. According to Xiao Shitou, it was really weird. She wanted to ask again when Qin Yun said: "Since you picked it up, how would you know that I am not my father?" daughter? Who told you?"
"Heh!" Xiao Shitou shook his head, looked at Qin Yun and said, "The whole village is the old part of Qin Jian. I didn't know, but do you pretend that no one else knows? It's a secret fact in Jaicui Mountain. Even Your mother's mourning hall was also used by the head of the family to fool you! Everything is fake, you? Who knows where you came from!"
Seeing Qin Yun's paler face, Lian Yan cut off Xiao Shitou's words: "You said that the mountains are all the old parts of Qin Jian, so is Xia Qingshan?"
Qin Yun suddenly raised her head to look at Lian Yan, with a look of joy on her face: "The mountains are all my father's old part?" This means that no one betrayed her father, and no one betrayed Yancui Mountain. They are still her. Her uncles and aunts are all her relatives.This made Qin Yun feel a little better, and the heart that had been rubbed together slowly relaxed.
"I don't know exactly where Xia Qingshan came from, but I only know that Qin Jian trusts him very much, and he came to join Xia Qingshan when he came to Canglan." Xiao Shitou continued unconsciously: "Zicui Mountain is not the bandit that it is now. , it seems to be a private school or something, Xia Qingshan teaches here. But after Qin Jian came, Xia Qingshan took Qin Jian and quickly turned Jaicui Mountain into a cottage, and it became bigger and bigger. On the contrary, black eat black people eat a lot of copycats, and quit after gradually growing in power, it must be because of the backing of treasures that they are so fearless."
"Is it because Ouyang Lu is greedy for the so-called treasures, that he is always targeting Zicui Mountain?" Lian Yan continued to ask, the cold light in his eyes made Xiaoshi shiver, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and twisted his arms to break away from Lianyan. Yan, but was ruthlessly suppressed, even the strength in Yan's hand was not light, and the small stone that was pressed grinned for a long time.
"You, what do you mean?" Xiao Shitou's arm was in great pain: "Don't forget that you belong to Mr. Ouyang, this is a den of bandits, don't forget your identity!"
"Identity?" Lian Yan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qin Yun: "What is my identity, does it have anything to do with you? It has nothing to do with Ouyang Lu! Also, I'm not from Ouyang Lu, I'm sorry."
After speaking, he slapped the little stone unconscious and threw it on the ground.
"What should I do with this person?" Qin Yun looked at the small stone on the ground and didn't know what to do for a moment. Her mind was now a mess, and there was no room for thinking at all.
In the small building, Qin Yun still had a dull expression on her face. She watched Lian Yan put something into the mouth of the still comatose little stone and threw it on the bed, before asking in a daze, "You hid him here, what about you?" Where do you sleep?"
Lian Yan brought the comatose little stone back to the small building, and said that he would interrogate Ouyang Lu carefully again, and get the evidence before convicting Ouyang Lu. Qin Yun was actually in a daze, and she listened to whatever Lian Yan said. At this moment, seeing that the person had been stuffed under the bed by Lian Yan, he reacted belatedly.
Lian Yan clapped his hands, shook his clothes, stood up, and smiled at Qin Yun: "Then please take me in for a night, Missy. When this person wakes up, I will get the confession and hand him over to Mr. Xia." I misunderstood Mr. Xia because of my villainous heart before, since he is from Bicuishan, it should be handled by Bicuishan."
Qin Yun nodded, looked at Lian Yan again, moved her lips and asked, "Are you going down the mountain?"
"En." Lian Yan's eyes were tender, and he led Qin Yun back to her room: "Take care of these troublesome things earlier, so that we can arrange other things."
The person who poisoned Zicui Mountain was also found, and even Yan knew everything that happened on Zicui Mountain recently, including the so-called distraction and gossip. According to Xiao Shitou, these people came to Canglan with Qin Jian, and hid in Jicui Mountain incognito, so there must not be a real suspicion because of these trivial matters, and most of them are to pick Xiao Shitou, a traitor, out.
Then Qin Jian's arrangement of these things is definitely not for Qin Yun to do it, his goal should be himself, Lian Yan's eyes darkened a bit, she is getting more and more uncertain about what Qin Jian means, maybe she should be honest Have a good talk with Qin Jian.
Qin Yun closed her eyes, and there was the sound of shallow breathing in her ears. She quietly opened her eyes and looked at the person sleeping next to her. Not knowing what was going on, Lian Yan pulled her to talk, and said as she spoke. When she got to bed, she turned off the light and she fell asleep next to her.
She knew that Lian Yan was deliberately pulling her to talk about something. Qin Yun listened, but she didn't listen much. After she came out of the kitchen, she was always in a daze, and her mind was full of small stones. She didn't want to hear or think about the words she said, but she just couldn't erase them. Every word seemed to be printed in her mind, clear and painful like a needle prick.
Seeing Lian Yanshu sleeping soundly, Qin Yun carefully moved her body and lay down flat. She was afraid of waking Lian Yan up. Lian Yan was careful not to touch this topic today, and even deliberately wanted Qin Yun to forget about it. But how could she forget, with eyes open without sleepiness, Qin Yun looked at the veil on the top of the bed, and Qin Yun touched her face. She really didn't look like Qin Jian at all, but almost everyone looked like her. They said that she looked like her mother, but no one told her what her mother looked like.
So, if she is not Qin Jian's daughter, then who is she?Why did they keep it from her?
The hand was held by someone, Qin Yun turned her face and saw Lian Yan holding her hand with her body half propped up, with no sleepiness in her eyes.
"Did I wake you up?" Qin Yun moved inward to make more room for Lian Yan: "Go to sleep, it's okay."
Lian Yan moved in the seat that Qin Yun had vacated, touched Qin Yun's shoulder, took her hand, and held her in his arms vaguely: "I didn't sleep, I want you to sleep, so I can sleep." I deliberately pretended to be asleep. Yun'er, maybe things are not what you think?"
"I don't know." Qin Yun leaned against Lian Yan, feeling very tired: "They all said that I look like my mother, but I have never seen my mother. He disciplined me very strictly, but which mountain have you seen?" The bandit's daughter wants to learn those nonsense things? If I'm not my father's daughter, then who are my real parents? Where are they? Why don't they want me?" Qin Yun lowered her voice in the last sentence. It was almost whispered.
Lian Yan felt a little distressed, bowed his head and kissed Qin Yun's hair lightly, and then said: "Don't think about it, when Master Qin is in better health, we will ask him face to face. Whether it is or not, he will spoil you. It grew up in the palm of your hand, right?"
Qin Yun leaned against Lian Yan, did not speak, and slowly closed her eyes.Just like what Lian Yan said, whether it is true or not, Qin Jian raised her up and gave her the most love and affection.
Lian Yan stretched out his hand to stop her, so he simply took this opportunity to explain clearly, but he brushed Qin Yun's clothes with his outstretched hand and then retracted it. Right now is really not a good time to talk about love, let alone cover up the green mountain. It's a mess, put it on Qin Jian | There is no trace of the poisoner, that is, the mess in Ouyang Lu at the foot of the mountain, and even Yan Yan didn't clean it up properly. If you pierce the window paper at this time, it's not impossible, but Lian Yan thinks Ms. may be a little wronged.
Sitting on the dressing table where Qin Yun had sat before, Lian Yan lowered her eyes, it was the first time she cared so much for someone, if the window paper was pierced, both of them would have to be distracted, neither could be tender and sweet Even if she wants to be affectionate and loving, she is still confused by all these trifles, and always lacks a bit of mellow atmosphere, which can't satisfy Lian Yan.
She simply endured it a little longer, and after the messy things about Canglan were settled, she brought Qin Yun back to the capital in the name of a marriage contract.Lian Yan made up his mind to pay attention, and the feeling of loss in his heart disappeared. He looked down at himself in the mirror, and brushed his hair with satisfaction. The eldest lady is still too tender, and she is not her match at all. , the appearance of running away shyly and timidly just now, even if he didn't say anything, even Yan guessed all kinds of things in his heart, but this feeling seems to be not bad.
Qin Yun left the small building almost as if running away. She was still out of breath when walking halfway, and it took a long time to make herself look less like a cooked shrimp. After taking a few breaths, he opened the door.
Qin Jian's condition didn't improve, on the contrary, it seemed to be getting worse. Although Qin Yun had a smile on her face, seeing Qin Jian's expression, her heart was also pulled up, and she immediately took care of those related to Lian Yan. Throwing away some messy and charming thoughts, she sat silently beside Qin Jian's hospital bed, wiping her forehead for Qin Jian.
Qin Jian could also feel that her body was getting worse and worse, and the time of falling asleep every day was longer than when she was awake. Now when she saw Qin Yun coming in, she raised her hand to stop her movement, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yun My son is here. Don't be busy, Xiaoshi will take care of me later."
"Yun'er can also take care of Dad." Qin Yun stubbornly held the handkerchief and did not let go.
Seeing her stubborn appearance, Qin Jian knew that the girl was not feeling well, so she teased her with a smile: "Then dad is truly blessed. My little princess takes care of dad himself. Dad has been blessed for several lifetimes."
"What did father say, it's not right for a daughter to respect father." Qin Yun responded lightly, and went to wipe Qin Jian's hands again, this time Qin Jian did not refuse again.
Looking at Qin Yun's eyebrows, he asked after a long time, "Is Zijin here? Why don't you see her come to see me?" Qin Jian was worried about Qin Yun. Before he reached a consensus with Lian Yan, he That heart has never stopped.
"She'll come later." Qin Yun was also not sure: "I'll ask someone to call her later."
But as soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door, and then Lian Yan pushed the door open and came in.
"I was talking about you, but it happened to be here." Qin Jian signaled Qin Yun not to work, leaned against the head of the bed, and greeted Lian Yan at the door: "Zi Jin, come and sit down."
Lian Yan looked at Qin Jian's face and felt a "thump" in his heart. It stands to reason that Qin Jian didn't drink the poisoned medicine anymore, so why is his face getting worse instead of getting better?
"Uncle Qin, how are you feeling recently?" Lian Yan was suspicious in his heart, but didn't show the slightest expression on his face. He sat beside Qin Yun and said this to Qin Jian enthusiastically.
Qin Jian felt relieved when she heard her call uncle when she came in, and nodded with a smile: "It's nothing, I feel much better. Zijin, what did you think about what uncle told you before?"
Lian Yan had her own plans and arrangements, and didn't want to go through Qin Jian, but since Qin Jian asked, she basically told Qin Jian about what she had seen and heard and the evidence she got from Wang Daya. Having said that, it's good to make him feel at ease.
"So, are you willing to help us?" Qin Jian said comfortably, "I really saw you right."
"After Ouyang Lu's matter is resolved, I promise that you will help Zicui Mountain re-arrange the way out, but I also have a request, and I hope Uncle Qin can agree to me." Lian Yan looked at Qin Jian and made his own request.
At that time, the dust has settled, she can't stay in Canglan City for a long time, so she can only ask for a promise from Qin Jian, so that she can take Qin Yun out of here smoothly, even Yan Yan thought carefully, just in case one.
"What request, you say, as long as I can do it, I will agree to you." Qin Jian had no ambiguity at all, he glanced at Qin Yun beside him, and said vaguely: "You have helped me so much. , Let alone one request, even ten or hundreds, it’s fine.”
"It's not the time to talk about it yet. I will tell Uncle Qin when the time comes." Lian Yan said, "It's a trivial matter, as long as Uncle Qin agrees."
Lian Yan turned his face to look at Qin Yun, seeing that her gaze was always on Qin Jian, he didn't pay much attention to it, but glanced past Qin Yun and saw the incense burner on the table, there was still smoke wafting from the incense burner, The thin curls quickly dissipated cleanly, as if it had never been there before.
Qin Jian saw that Lian Yan seemed to be running away and seemed unwilling to say too much, so he didn't continue to ask. He pulled the two of them to talk, and then told Lian Yan to pay more attention to Ouyang Lu's movements. Seeing Qin Jian's spirit was obvious It was much worse than before, and even Yan didn't dare to disturb his rest, so he took Qin Yun and left after staying for a while.
On the way back, Qin Yun was visibly depressed, she kept her head down and walked on her own, not talking to Lian Yan, Lian Yan knew that she was worried about Qin Jian's illness, and wanted to comfort her, but Qin Jian always wanted to comfort her. Yun Yun faced the reality, judging from this situation, Qin Jian probably wouldn't be able to survive this winter.On the one hand, Lian Yan felt that Qin Yun should do more foreshadowing so that she wouldn't panic when that day came, but she also didn't want to see her face the sadness of her loved ones disappearing day by day alone.
"You..." Lian Yan hesitated for a while, but stepped forward to grab Qin Yun's shoulder: "Master Qin will get better, don't be too sad."
"I'm not sad." Qin Yun looked up at Lian Yan: "Of course my father will get better, I was just thinking, obviously we have found out that the medicine was poisoned, and we stopped the poison | medicine, but why did I Dad's health doesn't seem to be improving at all, is the poison | medicine still in the body? Do you want to see another doctor?"
Seeing that Qin Yun was able to analyze the problem rationally, even Yan's worries eased a little. After thinking for a while, she said, "Let's check with the people around Master Qin as well. I think it may not be just about the medicine." She Thinking of the censer, Qin Jian is a rough person, such things as censers will only appear in Qin Yun's room at most, and he hasn't paid attention to himself to that extent.
"It's not just about the medicine?" Qin Yun frowned, puzzled: "Then what else could be the problem?"
"What's the problem, I don't know." Lian Yan sighed: "I checked the people you mentioned before, and there was nothing abnormal. I also secretly searched their residences, but I didn't find anything. There are traces of poison, which shows that this person has deep scheming and acts carefully and cautiously."
"You, have you visited Uncle Xia's room?" Qin Yun asked hesitantly, she didn't want to ask this out, Xia Qingshan was careful in doing things in Zicui Mountain, Xia Qingshan took care of many details that her father didn't consider Yes, Qin Yun didn't want to think about him, but what Lian Yan said that day always came to her mind.
She doesn't want to suspect anyone, but the murderer must be found!
"No." Lian Yan looked at Qin Yun's tangled appearance and felt a little distressed: "He is much more cautious than ordinary people, I'm afraid of making mistakes."
Qin Yun nodded and said nothing.Not having an answer is not the best answer, and not finding anything for several days in a row made her a little uneasy.
"Take me to the kitchen and have a look again." Lian Yan looked at the lost look in her eyes, and rubbed Qin Yun's hair: "Is the flower still in the kitchen? Maybe there will be other discoveries."
After Qin Yun found out that she was poisoned from the medicine, she went to guard several times, but since then, the person who poisoned did not appear again. Just like what Lian Yan said, this person is really Be careful, Hua'er decocts medicine every day, but this person doesn't go to poison every time. The interval between actions is too long, and there is randomness, so it is difficult to make more progress for a while.
Qin Yun took Lian Yan to the kitchen and told Lian Yan her thoughts, hoping that Lian Yan could combine these phenomena to get more results.
And Lian Yan did think of a problem that she had been ignoring before, and pulled Qin Yun to an empty high place, and Lian Yan said in a low voice: "We have never thought about what you said before. But Yuner, If it was only this level of poisoning, the body of Qin Dadang would not be eaten away so quickly. Perhaps Qin Dadang would be bedridden every winter and you didn’t care, but when I first went up to see him, he was obviously still alive. Very healthy, the occasional cough is just an occasional cold, you see him now?"
Lian Yan squeezed Qin Yun's shoulders, exerted a little force on his knuckles, and was afraid of hurting Qin Yun, so he quickly let go, and asked in a trembling voice: "Usually, who is taking care of Qin Yun's daily necessities?"
"Yes, it's a small stone." Qin Yun's lips were a little pale, and she kept rubbing her hands back and forth: "What do you mean? Explain clearly, don't be sloppy!"
"It's nothing interesting. I saw an incense burner in the room of Master Qin's family today, and I think it's a little suspicious. Doesn't the room of Master Qin usually light incense?" Lian Yan took her hand, held it in the palm of his hand and said: "We are just analyzing, Analyze all kinds of potential crises that may exist, if not, then naturally it is the best, but if there is, Yun'er, I hope you are mentally prepared."
"You suspect that it's not just that the medicine is poisonous, but that someone tampered with the incense burner?" Qin Yun broke free from Lian Yan's hand and walked back and forth uneasily: "My father really doesn't light incense, he doesn't like the smell, he thinks Too feminine. Do you doubt Little Stone? Most of the incense burners are also placed by him. The one who is usually closest to my father, who can touch him every day, and who can poison him at any time, can only take care of him personally. people!"
This answer made Qin Yun a little hard to accept, but she couldn't refute Lian Yan's speculation: "How could it be him? There must be a reason, right? Xiao Shitou has no relatives, and my father is his only relative. It's his home, how could it be him?"
"Don't get excited." Lian Yan felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have told Qin Yun so clearly. Firstly, she just speculated without evidence. Secondly, Qin Yun might not be able to accept this conjecture.
"It's not a question of being excited or not, it's..." Qin Yun stopped and looked at Lian Yan, but didn't know how to express the feeling in her heart.
"Forget it, I will pay attention to the little stone." Qin Yun knew that Lian Yan's words made sense.
If it was just poison in the medicine, then Qin Jian's health would not be getting worse day by day, and even now he has almost been in a state of coma all day long. If it wasn't for someone else to poison him, how could he be in such a state?
Except for Xiao Shitou, no one else could easily approach her father at any time. Even if Xiao Shitou hadn't been under the poisonous hand of Xiao Shitou, he should have noticed something abnormal, but there was nothing!How could there be nothing!
"I'll check the matter of the incense burner quietly. If it's just ordinary incense, I'm overthinking." Lian Yan stepped forward, pressed Qin Yun's shoulder and said, "But, you have to be prepared and don't mess around." , Master Qin is sick now, and you are the backbone of Jicui Mountain. If you are also in chaos, it will be just like Ouyang Lu's wish. You have to remember that there are still soldiers stationed at the foot of the mountain, and Ouyang Lu can fight up at any time. Since he If you are ambitious, you won't worry about me too much, Yun'er, I can't do much, especially now. Do you understand?"
Qin Yun stared at Lian Yan's eyes almost subconsciously and nodded: "I know."
"That's good." Lian Yan raised his hand and rubbed Qin Yun's cheek: "No matter what happens, I will be by your side, so don't be afraid."
do not be afraid.The four words silently melted in Qin Yun's mouth, she was really afraid.For so many years from childhood to adulthood, Qin Yun's biggest distress was reading and practicing the piano every day and learning endless poems and songs. How can I not be afraid?
Not only was she afraid, but she also felt very lonely. Suddenly there was no one she could trust in such a huge mountain. If Lian Yan hadn't appeared, Qin Yun really didn't know what to do.
Perhaps this is the fate that Lian Yan will come to Jacui Mountain, that Lian Yan will be trusted by Qin Jian from the beginning, and that Lian Yan will eventually become her support.For a moment, Qin Yun was fortunate, she was extremely grateful that Lian Yan could stand by her side, so that she could have a direction, instead of wandering aimlessly here and there alone.
From the entrance of the kitchen, Hua'er can be seen squatting on the side picking vegetables. The aunt at the door is talking to Hua'er with a smile.Seeing her looking over, Qin Yun nodded to her, then took Lian Yan to the kitchen.
She had just walked to the door when she saw a figure shaking inside. Qin Yun's sharp eyes saw Xiao Shitou's figure at a glance, and immediately scolded: "What are you doing!"
Xiao Shitou was startled, and the lid of the medicine Gu in his hand fell to the ground and shattered, Qin Yun's face was livid, and he strode up to Xiao Shitou, staring at him, and asked forcefully, "What were you doing just now? "
Little Shitou didn't seem to understand why the eldest lady was so angry, and said in a daze: "Just, look at the medicine of the eldest master, what's wrong?"
"Say it again!" Qin Yun bit her lip, grabbed Xiao Shishi's skirt, and said in a hateful voice, "What did you put in the medicine? You bastard!"
Lian Yan followed behind Qin Yun, if she didn't come in first, she would see the little stone furtively using Qin Jian's medicinal poison, before she had time to pull Qin Yun, Qin Yun had already rushed in, Lian Yan had no choice but to Followed in, took the opened medicinal Gu aside and tested the poison, but the silver needle in his hand did not change color, Lian Yan put away the silver needle and shook his head at Qin Yun.
"No."
Qin Yun looked back at Lian Yan as if confirming and asked again: "Really?"
Watching the exchange between the two, Xiao Shitou broke free from Qin Yun's shackles, pointed at Qin Yun and yelled in disbelief, "Do you suspect that I poisoned the master?"
Qin Yun knew she was in the wrong, and was about to explain, when Xiao Shitou continued impatiently: "I saw Hua'er picking vegetables outside, and I just took care of the medicine for her when I smelled the smell. You doubt me? Qin Yun, Don't treat yourself as a eldest lady, you can wrong people casually, no one in the whole Zhecui Mountain knows that you are not born of the head of the family at all! What kind of filial daughter are you pretending to be here at the moment, you think you just treat him as your own Dad, I also treat him as my own father. Don’t think that calling you Miss is enough to treat you as Miss. If the boss didn’t pity you, you would still be able to show off your power here? Dream on!”
"What did you say? Say it again!" Qin Yun's face paled for a moment: "What do you mean I wasn't born by my father? Please explain it to me clearly!"
"Clear? If you don't understand clearly, you don't understand?" Xiao Shitou snorted coldly with disdain: "Look at how much you look like a head to toe? What do you mean you look like your mother? Have you seen your mother before?" Is it? With your foxy face, I don’t know which vixen doesn’t want it. I’m so stupid, I’ll treat you as a baby, weigh yourself first, and then talk! You’ve wronged me, Whoever wrongs me is not your turn!"
"Shut up, you're talking nonsense!" Qin Yun staggered the little stone with all her strength, and said firmly, "If you continue to spread rumors, I won't be able to get around you!"
"Can't get around me?" Xiao Shitou sneered: "Why can't you get around me? Hit me or scold me? Missy, please calm down, the big boss will die soon, who will protect you when I see it, Qin Yun and I I advise you to know the good and the bad."
"You..." Qin Yun's eyes were red from anger, and she was about to go forward to argue with Xiao Shitou, but was pulled back by the person behind her.
Lian Yan took only three or two steps to protect Qin Yun behind him, and then locked the small stone with his backhand, pressing it on the chopping board, and asked in a deep voice: "What are you guilty of?"
With his face turned to the chopping board, Xiao Shitou struggled impatiently: "Why am I guilty? Maybe some people are guilty? I have no father or mother, at least I have a clean background, but some people still can't figure out where they came from. Come on! Oh, how ridiculous!"
Lian Yan exerted all his strength on the arm that was pressing on the small stone, and said in a cool voice: "If you keep yelling, I don't think you want this arm anymore."
The little stone screamed in pain, and led the flowers outside the door in. The flowers were holding a pot of vegetables, looking at the scene inside, not knowing what was going on for a while, first shouted at the little stone: "You What did you do wrong? Hurry up and apologize to Master Lian!"
"Master Lian?" Little Shitou tilted his mouth and glanced at Lian Yan: "Master Lian, I was wrong, you can let me go." It was just that there was a shouting ruffian in that tone: "Quickly let me go, Miss! If I were you, I would first ask who my parents are before the head of the family is confused, so as to save myself from having nowhere to go to the grave in the future! Here, the flowers are here too, if you don’t believe me, ask her , Who in the entire Zicui Mountain doesn't know that you, Qin Yun, are the bastard whose father and mother don't know!"
"You!" Hua'er's expression changed: "Little Shitou, don't stop talking! Don't you want to die!"
Lian Yan twisted Xiao Shitou's arm, then raised his leg and kicked him heavily in the abdomen, Xiao Shitou curled up in pain, biting his mouth and still cursing and swearing.Lian Yan glanced at Qin Yun's pale face, feeling pain in his heart, grabbed the small stone and pushed it into the water tank next to him.
"Don't listen to his nonsense." Lian Yan turned back calmly and said, "This person is guilty, and deliberately said something to distract us, Yun'er, don't be misled by him."
After speaking, he took Xiao Shitou's head out of the water tank, looked at his wet and shivering appearance, sneered and said: "If you calm down and leave, you will also leave, and I won't notice, just I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this time. Tell me, what is this? Who ordered you?" While speaking, Xiaoshi took out a small paper bag, held the paper bag between his index finger and middle finger, and held it in front of Xiaoshi, shaking his head. Said: "Do you know what unnecessary action is? Your acting skills are really bad. Don't forget that you have a guilty conscience. The more you move, the more flaws you will have!"
Qin Yun looked at what Lian Yan had turned over from the small stone with a dazed expression, her mouth grew wide in surprise, and when she heard Lian Yan calling her, she hurried forward to get the medicine bag, poured a little into the medicine cup, and sure enough Seeing the silver hairpin in her hand change color, Qin Yun held up the silver hairpin to Lian Yan with trembling hands: "It's really poisonous."
She couldn't believe it, she looked at Lian Yan and then at Xiao Shitou, her breathing became a little rough: "You poisoned my father?"
"Why did you poison my father!" Qin Yun strode over holding the hairpin, and slapped Xiao Shitou on the face: "You treat him as your own father, and you say you treat him as your Qin father, why did you poison him? Poison! Why!"
The force of that slap was too great. Not only was half of Qin Yun's hand numb from the shock, but also half of Xiao Shi's face was swollen when he pressed Xiao Shi. What to say, but the concern in the eyes can't be concealed.
Xiao Shitou looked at Qin Yun nonchalantly and said, "Why, you don't care!"
Hua'er stood where she was, and the vegetables in her hand fell all over the floor. She still didn't realize what happened. She stared blankly at the blackened hairpin in Qin Yun's hand, and then at the little stone, and suddenly realized: "It was you who poisoned the master!"
"Say, why did you betray Jicui Mountain!" Qin Yun clenched the hairpin in her hand, and asked with all her strength, "Did my father treat you so badly before? Why did you hurt him so much!"
Little Shitou knew that he couldn't escape, so he simply closed his eyes, didn't answer every question, pretended to be dead and didn't say anything.Forced Qin Yun felt the hairpin pressing against his throat, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll ask you one last time, why did you want to kill my father?"
The cold hairpin touched his skin, Xiao Shitou opened his eyes, curled his lips at Qin Yun, and said bravely: "Miss, you should be careful, that person is not your own father, for someone who has nothing to do with you, if you mess with him again It's not worthwhile to get killed. Besides, it's up to you, do you dare?"
"Try to say it again!" Qin Yun's eyes were red, but she couldn't use her hand to hold the hairpin.
Lian Yan took away the hairpin from Qin Yun's hand with one hand, then pulled the little stone back two steps, Qin Yun said to the little stone after a little distance: "She doesn't dare, guess I dare?"
Looking at Lian Yan's cold, temperatureless eyes, Xiao Shitou couldn't help but flinch a bit, then swallowed his saliva as if remembering something, and said: "Master Lian, you don't know how, you are an official of the imperial court, you are an official with them. Such bandits are different. You won’t do it.” He wanted to smile earnestly at Lian Yan as he spoke, but unfortunately, when the dagger pierced his skin, Xiao Shitou couldn’t laugh anymore, he struggled and begged Lian Yan : "My lord, my lord is merciful, we are our own people, you can't treat me like this, my lord."
"Why not?" Lian Yan stopped what she was doing, raised her eyebrows and asked, "My own person? So, you are Lord Ouyang's subordinate?" She just guessed casually, but she didn't expect to get Xiao Shitou's crazy nod: " Yes, yes, Lord Ouyang asked me to deliver the news for him here, we are our own people, our own people! Don't accidentally hurt yourself!"
Lian Yan glanced at Qin Yun, seeing that Qin Yun was frowning tightly, not knowing what he was thinking, then looking at Xiao Shitou, he knew that he had misunderstood her relationship with Ouyang Lu, thinking that he was the same as him, but it was Ouyang When Lu sent him to the undercover agent in Jicui Mountain, he simply put down the hairpin and asked pretending to be skeptical, "Then how can I trust you?"
Xiao Shitou swallowed: "Master Ouyang asked me to send him a message on the mountain, saying that when the time comes, someone will come and take me away."
The movement inside the house caught the attention of the cook outside, who yelled, Lian Yan covered Xiao Shitou's mouth that was about to call for help, and gave Hua'er a wink: "Go and send the person at the door away."
Hua'er reacted quickly, and hurried out. Seeing this, Xiao Shitou hurriedly said to Lian Yan: "There are strange things everywhere on this mountain. They all know that you are a member of the court. Let's leave here quickly."
"Really?" Lian Yan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Qin Yun before asking: "What's so weird?"
"A cottage is always mysterious and secretive. It doesn't want to have a good relationship with the imperial court, but it wants to stay far away from the imperial court. It doesn't want the benefits of being delivered to the door. It doesn't rob but has endless money. Where did it come from?" Xiao Shitou moved his arms and said to Lian Yan: "My lord, let me go, this young lady is also a fake, she won't be of much use."
"Oh?" Lian Yanfu asked back: "Ouyang Lu asked you to inoculate that poison? Did you also put the incense burner in Qin Jian's room? What's wrong with that incense burner?"
"The censer is lit with soul-destroying incense. Qin Jian has been poisoned by fire before, and every winter, he will be poisoned. The one in your hand is just a primer. The incense is the highlight. The incense will unconsciously follow The fire poison in his body is mixed together, and when the poison is released, it is no different from the fire poison, and there is no difference at all." Xiao Shitou was a little excited: "Master Ouyang said that as long as Qin Jian dies, Zhecui Mountain will be ours The site is gone, I will be in charge of such a good site in the future, and the treasures hidden in the Jicui Mountain will also belong to me!"
"Treasure?" Qin Yun murmured, "You killed my father for the treasure? Who told you that there is a treasure on the mountain?"
"Hmph!" Xiao Shitou snorted disdainfully: "Otherwise, how could such a large village survive without looting and relying solely on farming? The people on this mountain are all in the same group as Qin Jian. Appearing in Canglan, I want to hold that treasure and hide my name here! The eldest lady has been on the mountain for so long, don’t you know that Jiecui Mountain never accepts outsiders? All the people inside and outside here are the old department who came here with Qin Jian , except for me and Hua'er who were picked up in the entire Zicui Mountain, all the others followed Qin Jian and moved to Canglan!"
Lian Yan frowned at these words. According to Xiao Shitou, it was really weird. She wanted to ask again when Qin Yun said: "Since you picked it up, how would you know that I am not my father?" daughter? Who told you?"
"Heh!" Xiao Shitou shook his head, looked at Qin Yun and said, "The whole village is the old part of Qin Jian. I didn't know, but do you pretend that no one else knows? It's a secret fact in Jaicui Mountain. Even Your mother's mourning hall was also used by the head of the family to fool you! Everything is fake, you? Who knows where you came from!"
Seeing Qin Yun's paler face, Lian Yan cut off Xiao Shitou's words: "You said that the mountains are all the old parts of Qin Jian, so is Xia Qingshan?"
Qin Yun suddenly raised her head to look at Lian Yan, with a look of joy on her face: "The mountains are all my father's old part?" This means that no one betrayed her father, and no one betrayed Yancui Mountain. They are still her. Her uncles and aunts are all her relatives.This made Qin Yun feel a little better, and the heart that had been rubbed together slowly relaxed.
"I don't know exactly where Xia Qingshan came from, but I only know that Qin Jian trusts him very much, and he came to join Xia Qingshan when he came to Canglan." Xiao Shitou continued unconsciously: "Zicui Mountain is not the bandit that it is now. , it seems to be a private school or something, Xia Qingshan teaches here. But after Qin Jian came, Xia Qingshan took Qin Jian and quickly turned Jaicui Mountain into a cottage, and it became bigger and bigger. On the contrary, black eat black people eat a lot of copycats, and quit after gradually growing in power, it must be because of the backing of treasures that they are so fearless."
"Is it because Ouyang Lu is greedy for the so-called treasures, that he is always targeting Zicui Mountain?" Lian Yan continued to ask, the cold light in his eyes made Xiaoshi shiver, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and twisted his arms to break away from Lianyan. Yan, but was ruthlessly suppressed, even the strength in Yan's hand was not light, and the small stone that was pressed grinned for a long time.
"You, what do you mean?" Xiao Shitou's arm was in great pain: "Don't forget that you belong to Mr. Ouyang, this is a den of bandits, don't forget your identity!"
"Identity?" Lian Yan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qin Yun: "What is my identity, does it have anything to do with you? It has nothing to do with Ouyang Lu! Also, I'm not from Ouyang Lu, I'm sorry."
After speaking, he slapped the little stone unconscious and threw it on the ground.
"What should I do with this person?" Qin Yun looked at the small stone on the ground and didn't know what to do for a moment. Her mind was now a mess, and there was no room for thinking at all.
In the small building, Qin Yun still had a dull expression on her face. She watched Lian Yan put something into the mouth of the still comatose little stone and threw it on the bed, before asking in a daze, "You hid him here, what about you?" Where do you sleep?"
Lian Yan brought the comatose little stone back to the small building, and said that he would interrogate Ouyang Lu carefully again, and get the evidence before convicting Ouyang Lu. Qin Yun was actually in a daze, and she listened to whatever Lian Yan said. At this moment, seeing that the person had been stuffed under the bed by Lian Yan, he reacted belatedly.
Lian Yan clapped his hands, shook his clothes, stood up, and smiled at Qin Yun: "Then please take me in for a night, Missy. When this person wakes up, I will get the confession and hand him over to Mr. Xia." I misunderstood Mr. Xia because of my villainous heart before, since he is from Bicuishan, it should be handled by Bicuishan."
Qin Yun nodded, looked at Lian Yan again, moved her lips and asked, "Are you going down the mountain?"
"En." Lian Yan's eyes were tender, and he led Qin Yun back to her room: "Take care of these troublesome things earlier, so that we can arrange other things."
The person who poisoned Zicui Mountain was also found, and even Yan knew everything that happened on Zicui Mountain recently, including the so-called distraction and gossip. According to Xiao Shitou, these people came to Canglan with Qin Jian, and hid in Jicui Mountain incognito, so there must not be a real suspicion because of these trivial matters, and most of them are to pick Xiao Shitou, a traitor, out.
Then Qin Jian's arrangement of these things is definitely not for Qin Yun to do it, his goal should be himself, Lian Yan's eyes darkened a bit, she is getting more and more uncertain about what Qin Jian means, maybe she should be honest Have a good talk with Qin Jian.
Qin Yun closed her eyes, and there was the sound of shallow breathing in her ears. She quietly opened her eyes and looked at the person sleeping next to her. Not knowing what was going on, Lian Yan pulled her to talk, and said as she spoke. When she got to bed, she turned off the light and she fell asleep next to her.
She knew that Lian Yan was deliberately pulling her to talk about something. Qin Yun listened, but she didn't listen much. After she came out of the kitchen, she was always in a daze, and her mind was full of small stones. She didn't want to hear or think about the words she said, but she just couldn't erase them. Every word seemed to be printed in her mind, clear and painful like a needle prick.
Seeing Lian Yanshu sleeping soundly, Qin Yun carefully moved her body and lay down flat. She was afraid of waking Lian Yan up. Lian Yan was careful not to touch this topic today, and even deliberately wanted Qin Yun to forget about it. But how could she forget, with eyes open without sleepiness, Qin Yun looked at the veil on the top of the bed, and Qin Yun touched her face. She really didn't look like Qin Jian at all, but almost everyone looked like her. They said that she looked like her mother, but no one told her what her mother looked like.
So, if she is not Qin Jian's daughter, then who is she?Why did they keep it from her?
The hand was held by someone, Qin Yun turned her face and saw Lian Yan holding her hand with her body half propped up, with no sleepiness in her eyes.
"Did I wake you up?" Qin Yun moved inward to make more room for Lian Yan: "Go to sleep, it's okay."
Lian Yan moved in the seat that Qin Yun had vacated, touched Qin Yun's shoulder, took her hand, and held her in his arms vaguely: "I didn't sleep, I want you to sleep, so I can sleep." I deliberately pretended to be asleep. Yun'er, maybe things are not what you think?"
"I don't know." Qin Yun leaned against Lian Yan, feeling very tired: "They all said that I look like my mother, but I have never seen my mother. He disciplined me very strictly, but which mountain have you seen?" The bandit's daughter wants to learn those nonsense things? If I'm not my father's daughter, then who are my real parents? Where are they? Why don't they want me?" Qin Yun lowered her voice in the last sentence. It was almost whispered.
Lian Yan felt a little distressed, bowed his head and kissed Qin Yun's hair lightly, and then said: "Don't think about it, when Master Qin is in better health, we will ask him face to face. Whether it is or not, he will spoil you. It grew up in the palm of your hand, right?"
Qin Yun leaned against Lian Yan, did not speak, and slowly closed her eyes.Just like what Lian Yan said, whether it is true or not, Qin Jian raised her up and gave her the most love and affection.
