Unclean

To be honest, Yan Yunhe began to suspect Yinniang, not because she happened to appear near the Salesian, nor because she deliberately monitored Yu Qin.

It was the words she said to him earlier when he called Yinniang down to drink under the moon that day.

He also checked Yinniang later, only to find that there are almost no records of Yinniang's past, the earliest can only be traced back to eight years ago.

She seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and had been transformed.

Yes, Yi Rongshi in the Imperial City Division once told him that there is a way to change people's faces forever, but that method is cruel and there will be traces after it is done.

Yan Yunhe discovered early on that there were such marks on Yinniang's face.But he never asked, because everyone has secrets that they don't want to tell the outside world.

But now Yinniang's secret may be related to Yu Qin.

The reason why the outside world spread rumors about Yu Qin like a ghost, saying that he likes to eat human flesh, is also because of his deeds that caused a sensation in the capital.

He once killed a man named Dali Sizheng, who was arrested by Emperor Cheng Jing for corruption.

But for some reason, the half-way man was mentioned in the imperial prison, and Yu Qin was ordered to cut him down with a knife, and he was cut off for three full days before he died.

Even the Jin Yiwei on the side had long been accustomed to punishment, but seeing this Shura-like scene, not a few of them were nauseated and vomited.

Some people even said that when they went to the handover in the morning, they saw Yu Qin sitting next to the invisible corpse drinking with blood on his hands.

In the end, it was rumored that he ate wine with human flesh. Since then, the rumors that he likes human flesh have become more and more intense.

No matter what Yan Yun thought, maybe it was just the opposite.During this period of time, he observed Yu Qin's diet, and he didn't like meat very much.

He doesn't pay attention to his appetite, and his demand for food is very weak. I don't know if it has something to do with being in charge of the imperial prison.

As for the Dali Sizheng, he was the official who took over the case of the Yu Mansion back then, but he was only a small role and could not play any role at all.

No one understood why Yu Qin was the only one who attacked this Dali Temple.

Now Yan Yunhe may know why this is.

But everything is just his guesswork, and there will be no results until after tonight.

After nightfall, Yinniang really came to visit Yong'anhou's mansion, and brought a maid and a lot of greetings in a decent manner.

Mrs. Yan heard that there was a female guest coming to visit tonight, and she had already made full preparations. When she saw Yinniang, her eyes showed joy.

Because of the instructions, Yinniang responded shyly to Mrs. Yan's enthusiasm.

Yan Yunhe simply introduced Yinniang to Mrs. Yan: "This is a female official in the palace, and he can be regarded as my colleague."

As soon as she heard that it was a female official, she matched what Yan Yunhe said at the beginning, Madam Yan's eyes lit up, she looked at Yinniang curiously, and couldn't stop nodding.

Yan Yunhe strikes while the iron is hot, telling Mrs. Yan that he will not attend the banquet in a few days, so as not to upset the person he likes.

Mrs. Yan was not happy when he pulled her aside to talk, she still looked at the living room where Yinniang was: "I see, but tell mother honestly, is this girl really the one you mentioned?"

"Which one am I talking about?" Yan Yunhe was sloppy, he had never admitted that Yinniang was his sweetheart, it was his mother's preconceived idea.

"It's just that you said before that your favorite..." Before Madam Yan finished speaking, Yan Yunhe grabbed her: "Don't let people think that our Hou Mansion treats guests like this, mother should come with me Go to the lobby."

Mrs. Yan was almost trotted by him: "If you hadn't brought me here, how could I be rude to others."

While Mrs. Yan was talking to Yinniang, Yan Yunhe pulled Song Wen aside: "I told you to go to the south of the city to buy a peach blossom, did you get it?"

The peach blossoms in the south of the city were an agreement between him and Yu Qin. As long as he sent someone to buy peach blossoms, he would see Yu Qin.

Song Wen nodded: "It is said that it will be delivered to the mansion at Haishi."

It was too late at Haishi, if he did not let him go when the time came, not only Yinniang would become suspicious, but even Madam Yan would accuse him.

Let these two meet tonight, and finally found out that it was a misunderstanding, that's all. But if it wasn't for the misunderstanding, then Yu Qin would know that he still has relatives in this world.

Thinking of this, Yan Yunhe secretly made up his mind that even if he was tied up, Yinniang would be tied up in the Hou Mansion until Yu Qin came over.

When he returned to the living room, he saw Mrs. Yan holding Yinniang's hand and wiping away tears, while Yinniang was looking at him begging for help.

"What's the matter?" Yan Yunhe immediately stepped forward and asked.

Mrs. Yan's eyes were slightly red: "He is a poor child. His father was not there since he was a child, and his mother passed away early. But you are very upright. Now that you are an official in the palace, your parents know well and will be happy for you."

"The New Year's Eve is approaching, if you have nothing to do, you can come to me to be lively." Mrs. Yan patted her hand and said softly.

Yinniang hadn't been in contact with such an elder for a long time, and for a moment she felt that Mrs. Yan's tears were a little hot, making her heart tremble.

This made her feel guilty about cheating Mrs. Yan, which suddenly increased.

She even began to regret agreeing to Yan Yunhe, she was afraid that Mrs. Yan would be disappointed when she finally found out the truth.

Yan Yunhe naturally also felt Yinniang's wavering, and he immediately interrupted the warmth of the two: "It's time to eat."

Madam Yan glared at him, as if she had begun to think he was in the way.

Yan Yunhe did not expect that Mrs. Yan would like Yinniang so much, inviting Yinniang to the house today was just an excuse.

It's just acting and doing a full set, which is why it has become the current situation, and it can't advance or retreat.

During the dinner, Mrs. Yan almost cared for Yinniang, so why didn't she pay attention to Yan Yun.

Yan Yunhe had no choice but to start another topic: "Didn't Yinniang say that she has an elder brother last time? Is your elder brother in the capital now?"

"No, not here." Yinniang evaded a little: "I was separated from brother a long time ago."

"Really, where are they lost, and there is news that Fang Zhizhou can't get?" Yan Yun said.

Yinniang finally sensed something wrong with today's banquet, she immediately wanted to get up and say goodbye, but seeing Mrs. Yan's eager eyes, she finally swallowed her words back.

I don't know how long it took to eat without knowing the taste, and finally made it to the end of the banquet. Yan Yunhe said to Yinniang again: "I haven't taken you to enjoy the scenery of the backyard of the mansion. It's the season when wintersweet is in full bloom, which is very pleasing to the eye."

The smile on Yinniang's face froze, but Mrs. Yan seemed to be mistaken, thinking that her troubled son had finally opened up, so she smiled and asked the maid beside her to lead the two of them to the backyard to enjoy the plum blossoms.

After all, it is the difference between men and women, not only Yan Yunhe, but also Song Wen.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the walk, Song Wen took the maid beside Mrs. Yan and forced her to go down, leaving only the two of them in the garden.

Yan Yunhe finally showed a relaxed expression, and when he turned his head, he saw Yinniang looking at him vigilantly, if she were a cat, her hair would stand on end at this moment.

"What on earth are you going to do! Why did you ask me those things at the banquet?" Yinniang warned.

Yan Yunhe: "It's just a casual mention, why should you be nervous."

Yinniang took a few steps back: "I have to go."

Yan Yunhe: "There are still a few steps to see, so you are so impatient?"

Yinniang shook her head, she turned around, the cloak dangled in the air, and finally fell to her side.

She didn't move on, and even froze in place.

Someone walked out from behind the wintersweet, and the man's white fingertips picked a plant of wintersweet, and the snow fell, soaking the old fur coat.

Wintersweet is in full bloom in the cold night, not as beautiful as him.

Yu Qin stood under the tree, looking at the two standing in the snow.

Yinniang's face turned pale, this time there was no Eunuch Yan, no palace walls to cover her up, she instinctively retreated, but was gently held back by a hand.

Yan Yunhe's voice came from behind: "I told you, you can see it right away."

Yinniang's teeth chattered slightly: "You hurt me."

Why didn't Yan Yun say anything, Yinniang refused to recognize Yu Qin, there must be some difficulties, he asked the two to recognize each other out of selfishness, and he was ready to be blamed by Yinniang.

Yu Qin stepped forward slowly, and only asked in a low voice, "Is it Ah Yin?"

Even if she changed her name, changed her face, regained her identity, and lived another life, she couldn't resist Yu Qin calling her in such a cautious voice.

It's been a long time since no one called her that, and she thought she wouldn't miss the past any more.

However, she was wrong, she immediately turned her face: "You recognize the wrong person."

Yu Qin stopped a few steps away and didn't go forward, but his eyes were so careful, as if he wanted to know a lot, but he didn't dare to ask more.

Yinniang was about to leave in a panic, but Yan Yunhe grabbed her arm again. She clenched her teeth, and with tears in her eyes, she looked at Yan Yunhe with hatred. Before she could speak, she heard Yu Qin say: "Huaiyang , let her go."

Yan Yunhe let go of her hand, but Yinniang seemed to be nailed in place, unable to move.

Yu Qin whispered: "I was in the palace last time, and I saw the girl."

Yinniang didn't speak, but Yu Qin didn't care: "I once had a younger sister named Bai Yin, who was very similar to the girl. I asked Mr. Yan to find information about the younger sister for me. He may have misunderstood you and sent you Bring it here."

Yinniang still turned her back to the two of them, her thin shoulders trembling slightly.

Looking at her back, Yu Qin's voice gradually became hoarse: "Someone told me eight years ago that she had passed away. I searched everywhere for her but couldn't find her. I can only believe that she is really dead. When I see the girl today, I feel like an old friend." come back."

Yinniang: "Since I have passed away, how can I be the Ah Yin you speak of?"

Yan Yunhe saw that Yu Qin's eyes were gradually turning red, but he still controlled his emotions, and said in a calm tone: "I know that the girl is not Ah Yin, but I just want to ask the girl for help."

Yinniang seemed to take a deep breath: "What?"

Yu Qin drooped her thick eyelashes: "Will the girl pretend to be Ah Yin? It only takes a while. I have something I always wanted to say to her."

Yinniang didn't answer, but she didn't leave, and she didn't dare to look back, for fear that the two of them would notice something was wrong.

Maybe they already knew it, but no one could expose her.

Yu Qin took a few steps, and finally restrained himself and stopped: "It's me, a useless elder brother, who failed to protect you. You...don't have to forgive me."

Yinniang's hand held in front of her was almost bleeding from pinching.

She had already burst into tears, but she never looked back.
