hold on……Her hands?

In the dark dungeon, Zhu Yan looked at the slender hand close at hand and couldn’t help but hesitate.

Emotionally speaking, she just wanted to fiercely shake off Mu Qinglan’s hand, and then follow her to see what the evidence she said was.

But in terms of physical instinct, her body drove her, like a puppy, she couldn’t help but rub the bad woman’s hand gently, as if to please her.

This sense of inconsistency between emotions and instincts almost drove Zhu Yan crazy.

The dungeon was dark and lightless.

There were only two shallow breaths rising and falling.

Mu Qinglan was sitting in a wheelchair, quietly watching the gray-haired girl’s self-struggle with interest, watching her carefully squatting on the spot with her fingers clenched.

Her appearance now is completely different from when Mu Qinglan first met her.

“Isn’t it cute?”

Mu Qinglan thought.

No wonder so many players in the previous life wanted to see this three-nothing petite assassin blush and be shy. There is indeed a saying.

“But it’s okay, I looked it up for you, why don’t you thank me quickly?”

After a while, Zhu Yan let out a long breath and slowly opened her fingers.

She carefully, almost tentatively, handed her little hand to Mu Qinglan’s hand, and then bit by bit, from her cheek Go up and take down the jade hand that constantly brought her warmth and security.

The moment the two of them held their hands tightly,

Mu Qinglan could clearly see the gray-haired man whose expression had never changed much. The girl’s face blushed slightly for a moment.

But the moment she held her hand, Zhu Yan regretted it a little.

“Zhu Yan, did you really believe what she said?”

She questioned herself in her heart.

It is true that her master’s words before his death did shake her trust in the Crown Prince who was so kind to her, but this bad woman’s lies should not be believed..

But at this moment, the warm jade hand quietly held her tightly and squeezed.

Zhu Yan suddenly became quiet.

Because, an indescribable sense of dependence instantly filled her heart.

She was there She had been in the dark world for so long that after having a glimmer of hope, her body was completely unwilling to return to the state of being in silence and light, like a floating root.

But after she realized what she was doing, she felt a little angry..

Angry that she had a rare moment of peace of mind just now.

Isn’t she her enemy? Why did she have such a mentality towards her?

But before she could figure it out.

“Miss Zhu Yan seems very reluctant? Then go on your own.”

Mu Qinglan said lightly, and forcefully pulled her hand away from her fingertips.

“……”

But the finger had just been pulled away from there, and it hadn’t even been free for half a second.

The next moment, with a cold touch, her right hand was grabbed again.

Even this time, in order to prevent this rare peace of mind from escaping, the gray-haired girl chose to insert her fingers firmly into Mu Qinglan’s fingertips, and then interlocked their fingers.

Mu Qinglan smiled softly.

This was not her initiative.

Looking at the gray-haired girl in front of her who was biting her lips and feeling at a loss, Mu Qinglan said warmly:

“After having acupuncture for so many days and lying in bed again, I can’t walk for the time being.”

Zhu Yan glanced away and said nothing.

It is true that her legs are numb now and she has no strength at all, but isn’t that all your fault?

But before she could say anything, there was a sudden softness on her hand, But it was an irresistible force.

That force pulled her from the bed in the dungeon and fell onto the girl in the wheelchair’s lap. She leaned against the girl’s chest.

Zhu Yan pursed her red lips and spoke with her other hand. One hand carefully hugged her tightly and rubbed it gently.

Mu Qinglan’s white hair fell down and fell on Zhu Yan’s shoulders. It was a little itchy, but it gave her an almost greedy touch.

She was reluctant to leave..

Seeing this, the white-haired girl lowered her head slightly, raised the corners of her lips, and sprinkled hot air on the gray-haired girl’s neck, stimulating a numbness that made her tremble slightly:

“Miss Zhu Yan, let’s go, be careful”

“……”

“…Um.”

The gray-haired girl closed her eyes and nodded obediently…….

The wheelchair carrying two people stopped in Mu Qinglan’s dark room.

The curtains have long been closed.

But with the little light that leaked in, it was enough to see things.

When the wheelchair stopped, the gray-haired girl quietly moved her position without saying a word, and sat on the bed with a sullen face, but the interlocked hand never let go.

Mu Qinglan watched her movements silently, with a smile on her lips.

I think she’s quite cute.

The gray-haired girl could now see her eyes that seemed to be smiling.

After looking at each other for two seconds, she turned her head unnaturally

“Where is the evidence you mentioned?”

“”Don’t worry,” Mu Qinglan said,”Can I ask?” Why are you so loyal to that prince? Because he saved you?”

“……”

“My family is very poor and often doesn’t have enough to eat.”

After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhu Yan spoke in a very soft voice.

It was not difficult to hear that she was actually very reluctant to elaborate on her past, but for some reason, she still said it

“When I was six years old, there was a younger brother in the family. This was originally a happy event, but the addition of a mouth made the family even more nervous.”

“When I was eight years old, my father decided to sell me to the biggest gang in the city and make me a waiter.”

“I do not want to go.”

She pursed her lips.

“No one wants to go.”Mu Qinglan touched her head and comforted her.

“Um……”

Zhu Yan bit her lower lip and breathed a sigh of relief because her thoughts were recognized.

Then she continued:

“I’ve heard of that gang a long time ago. They did a lot of bad things. Many people were forced into debt and couldn’t repay it, so they all turned them into slaves or sold them into brothels.”

“Because there is a constant stream of people being harmed by them, they treat their servants very poorly, and they often beat people to death.”

“So I don’t want to go.” she repeated

“I can understand.”

Mu Qinglan’s voice was soft.

Zhu Yan’s face softened a little:

“But later, I was still sold. Just as my father was doing business with the gang, His Highness’s men broke in with six doors and captured them all.”

“They said that the gang had done a lot of bad things and many of them should not be slaves, so they wanted to put us back.”

“I don’t want to go back.”

After she finished speaking, she paused slightly and looked at Mu Qinglan with a somewhat expectant look.

The white-haired girl nodded:

“I listen, it’s me, I don’t want to go back either”

“Then I left with them,” Zhu Yan said,”To be honest, I don’t particularly hate my father, but no matter what, I don’t want to see him in the future.”

“The people from the Prince’s Palace said that your Highness will be my father from now on.”

“I also keep it in mind”

“Later, I trained quietly in the Prince’s Mansion, and then discovered that I had the talent to be an assassin, and decided to serve His Highness. Later, you will also know.”

Mu Qinglan listened without interrupting from the beginning to the end. She also didn’t question certain points. She just put herself in Zhu Yan’s shoes and silently agreed with Zhu Yan’s choice and told her that she would do the same thing if it were her.

Wait for Zhu Yan After Yan finished speaking, she slowly spoke:

“But is there a possibility that everything you have experienced in the past may not be exactly what you thought?”

“Maybe your father didn’t really want to sell you at the beginning, but was just threatened by some people?”

“Maybe the Prince’s Mansion knew all of this from beginning to end?”

“……”

Zhu Yan was silent. She knew that Mu Qinglan would definitely say that the prince was up to no good.

She doesn’t believe it either.

But because of Mu Qinglan’s gentle support to her just now, and some unexplainable thoughts in her heart, she still chose to listen quietly and wait for Mu Qinglan to give evidence.

Mu Qinglan did not disappoint her either.

He threw a stack of neatly written reports on the table.

“You haven’t been home for so many years. Do you know that the day after you were picked up by the Prince’s Mansion, your father, your mother, and your two-year-old brother……Did they all evaporate?”

“I……”

Zhu Yan spoke hoarsely, but in the end no words came out.

She lowered her eyes, her eyes fixed on the pile of white paper on her lap, as if she was hesitating whether to open this thing that might subvert the value of her survival.

“Miss Zhu Yan, you think about it for yourself, whether you want to believe all of this, or whether you want to believe the intelligence that Prince Qi’s Mansion has investigated during this period.”

Mu Qinglan said softly and slowly pulled away her hand.

Zhu Yan didn’t stop her.

She just looked at the white paper on her lap blankly and said nothing.

“What happened in Qingxiang back then is now contained in this piece of paper.”

She said softly, controlling the wheelchair to slowly leave the room, and then closed the door carefully.

Through the door, the white-haired girl said warmly:

“Believe it or not, you decide”

“I’ll come find you in three moments.”

After that, the bad woman turned around without hesitation and walked towards the courtyard, leaving Zhu Yan alone in the room, silently looking at the information on her lap…….

“Miss.”

In the somewhat withered courtyard, the shadow attendant said respectfully.

“She must have started watching it.”Mu Qinglan glanced at her

“As you expected,” Shadow Attendant said with admiration:”She has read all the information that has been investigated in the past few days, and she has also gone through the information that is enough to prove your innocence.”

“this is not enough……”

Mu Qinglan muttered to herself and asked lightly:”Have you not given the information yet?”

“without”

“In the past few days, give her some clues every day that can prove what the Prince’s Mansion has done, and let her investigate by herself, but she must be told that she cannot leave the city.”

“Let her move freely?”The shadow attendant was stunned.

“Of course, how can we truly believe the information given by others? Only the things you investigate yourself are the most convincing…….”

“Eight years of sunk costs is hard for anyone to accept.”

Mu Qinglan laughed:

“I have to thank the prince for not cleaning up the original traces carefully after he felt that Zhu Yan could not escape from his grasp. Otherwise, after so many years, Zhu Yan might not be able to find evidence.”

“Do you want me to send someone to monitor her?”

“Let Ying Er go, if she still wants to tip off the news……”

Mu Qinglan sneered:

“Kill directly”

“Idiots who cannot recognize reality are not qualified to be my dogs.”……
