Tragic death and rebirth, married to the abstinent uncle and was spoiled crazy
Chapter 89 Late Night Meeting
Neither of them expected that when they walked back to the mansion, the thing had arrived before them.
When Butler Bai saw the two of them, he quickly came over and saluted them, asking, "Sir, Miss, how did you two come back on foot? Where did the carriage go?"
The two looked at each other and started to talk nonsense. Lin Yuehong said, "We felt a little bored so we went for a walk by the lake, but who would have thought that the horse would run away by itself."
Butler Bai looked at Lin Yuehong with a strange expression. It was not that he did not want to believe him, but the horses used in the mansion were all trained and would not run around randomly. Moreover, Lin Yuehong was a martial arts expert, so he should not be allowed to do so.
Lin Tingwan looked at the pile of things placed at the gate of the mansion and fell into deep thought. She slowly asked, "Who sent these things?"
Butler Bai looked calm and said, "It's the people from Liuli Pavilion. They said that you, young master and young lady, bought a lot of things today and asked them to deliver them." After that, Butler Bai handed the jade pendant that was supposed to be tied around her waist to Lin Tingwan.
"They also brought your jade pendant, Miss, saying that you dropped it in the box."
Lin Tingwan subconsciously reached out her hand and touched her waist. As expected, there was nothing there. She recalled that it must have fallen during the fight with the group of men in black. She reached out to take it and said, "Thank you, Butler Bai."
"Miss, you are too kind."
……
Prince Gong's Mansion.
After Qingyu changed into casual clothes, she quickly walked into Pei Jinan's courtyard.
At this time, Qing Li was waiting at the door, as if he had guessed that he would come, "The master asked you to go in directly."
At this time, Pei Jinan was wearing a blue shirt and sitting in front of the desk. There was a quiet sound of wind coming from outside the window. He was holding a brush and writing attentively.
The brush lightly swept across the paper, the ink seeped in, the handwriting was extremely vigorous, and exuded a faint scent of books. There was a sense of calmness and serenity between his brows, as if the hustle and bustle of the world had nothing to do with him.
"Master—" Qingyu saluted.
"How?" His tone was flat, without any ups and downs.
"Just as the master expected, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also went to the Glazed Pavilion today. He seemed to be very interested in the Resurrection Powder, but for some reason, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only bid once and never bid again." Qingyu looked puzzled and he couldn't figure out why.
Pei Jinan knew why. His heart was as clear as a mirror. His nephew had fallen for Lin Tingwan, so he would not take any action today.
It’s just because that thing is what Lin Tingwan wanted.
Everything was within Pei Jinan's expectations.
"Whose people are lying in ambush along the way?"
Qingyu looked at Pei Jinan with admiration. His master was truly a man of foresight. He had guessed early on that someone would ambush them along the way, so he asked him to follow Lin Tingwan and protect her.
"That group of people have also received special training. I have already locked them up in a dark room. I believe that within three days, I will be able to find out their identities."
Pei Jinan shook his head and said, "Three days is not enough. Gather some people and follow me to rob General Lin's mansion tonight."
Qingyu looked at Pei Jinan with a puzzled look on her face, not knowing what he was up to, but she still nodded and said, "Yes, Master."
……
Late at night, the Lin Mansion was quiet and silent. The moon was high in the sky, and its clear light shone through the foggy window lattices, illuminating the empty space. The candlelight in the house was dim, and the breeze blew the mahogany carved screen, making a slight creaking sound.
Lin Tingwan sat alone in front of the bronze mirror, gently gathered her long black hair, and stared at herself in the mirror.
Her red lips were slightly parted, her figure was unparalleled, her face was like jade, and her hair was pale green.
The scar on her face had long disappeared, but she still picked up the white cloth on the table and put it on her face.
Lin Tingwan seemed to be proud of her appearance, or perhaps nervous about the unknown ahead.
She breathed quietly in front of the mirror, as if time had stopped, until a gentle knock on the door broke the silence, and she slowly came back to her senses.
If it were Yuzhu and Lianqiao, they would come in directly. If it was Lin Yuehong, the knock on the door would definitely not be so gentle. She picked up a hairpin on the table and held it tightly in her hand.
He asked cautiously, "Who—"
"I." The man's cold voice sounded.
It turned out to be him. Lin Tingwan quickly stood up and went to the inner room to put on her clothes one by one, then slowly opened the door.
Pei Jinan was wearing a black robe with golden patterns on it, which made him look taller, with a narrow waist and broad shoulders. His face was hidden under the mask, but after entering the house, he took off the mask, revealing his handsome face.
"Why are you here?" Lin Tingwan frowned slightly.
Pei Jinan had just come in from outside, still emitting a faint chill. He slowly said, "Those who surrounded you today will definitely not let it go."
After saying that, Pei Jinan suddenly took off a large bag on his back and placed it on Lin Tingwan's desk.
"A huge fire will break out in the private storehouse of the general's mansion tonight, and half of the things in the storehouse will be taken away by people with ulterior motives. The Resurrection Powder is among them. Do you remember this?" Pei Jinan said word by word with a serious expression.
A hint of understanding flashed across Lin Tingwan's eyes, and she nodded and said, "Wait a moment." After that, she turned and went into the inner room. When she came out after a while, she was holding a white medicine bottle in her hand.
"This is the Resurrection Powder. The bottle in the warehouse is fake. It must have been replaced. Now I don't know what's inside it."
After a pause, she frowned slightly, "I'm not sure I'm the first person to come into contact with this bottle of medicine. There is always a loophole. When you go back, you'd better find a trustworthy doctor to check it out."
Pei Jinan nodded and reached out to take it. When their skin brushed against each other, Pei Jinan's body trembled and his heart seemed to shake. It took him a while before he came back to his senses.
"Thank you very much. Today's matter is all thanks to Miss Lin. If Miss Lin needs me for anything in the future, please be sure to let me know." Pei Jinan's eyes were dark, and the light in his eyes turned slightly.
Lin Tingwan nodded. This was the reason why she was trying so hard to help Pei Jinan today.
"It's late at night, I won't bother you anymore." After saying that, Pei Jinan put on his mask again. Lin Tingwan opened the door for him, and he disappeared into the darkness in a flash.
Lin Tingwan slowly walked to the table and opened the bundle. She was shocked to find that most of the things inside were things she had taken pictures of in the Liuli Pavilion today. There were also many things that looked unfamiliar, but all of them were good things.
Lin Tingwan quickly realized that these things should have been the gold and silver treasures that were stolen in the fire tonight.
Her expression suddenly became complicated, she tied the bag again and walked into the inner room.
If these things were seen by someone with ulterior motives today, she would not be able to explain them clearly.
