After Shu Qingwan went there, there was no movement for four or five days, and he didn't even meet Shu Qingwan when he went out with his clothes on, so there was no news for a while.

The things the assassin said before, because they didn't get any explanation from Shu Qingwan, fermented more and more in Lian Yi's heart, making Lian Yi's wild thoughts even more intense.

The performance of the assassins that day was actually very obvious. There were two reasons for their backgrounds being completely wiped out when they first came up.

The first one, they were not sent by Shu Qingyan, but for some reason, they wanted to push all these things on Shu Qingyan.

The second one is that they are indeed related to Shu Qingyan, or they were really sent by Shu Qingyan, but because of some special reasons, they have to be honest and put all these things on Shu Qingyan's head.

What's more, what the assassin said at that time, inside and outside the words, was to whitewash Shu Qingwan and prove Shu Qingwan's innocence, which always gave people a strange illusion.

Lian Yi recalled the process afterwards, and finally understood what the strange feeling was at that time, that is, there was a slight deliberate element in these words, they deliberately said things in front of her that proved Shu Qingwan's innocence, and wanted to guide her to Find out what's going on.

She didn't know what the assassin's purpose was, but they managed to make her uncontrollably follow the introduction to climb the rock, shed her trust in Shu Qingwan, and began to add malicious speculation to Shu Qingwan.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt, because some inadvertent details gradually became brighter under these malicious guesses.

This made her involuntarily delve further, wanting to speculate on those non-existent things.

She couldn't help but guess, if the Shu family was really the mastermind behind the assassination of Ruan Linyi, then what role would Shu Qingwan play in this?

Could it be that the current Shu Qingwan is not the Shu Qingwan she thought at all? Shu Qingwan stepped into the urban area more than a year after Ruan Lianyi's death. Survived in a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair like the Mansion?

As a concubine who has already grown up, why didn't the Shu family betroth her to someone else, but let her show up for the Shu family, and even hold most of the life and death power of the Shu family?

Moreover, in these years, the Shu Mansion was in her hands, and the business was even more prosperous. How did she lead Shu Qingyan, a waste of business, to break through the siege among the aristocratic families and secure his position as the imperial merchant?

And according to Lian Yi's observation, Shu Qingwan was not afraid of other people in Shu's house at all, and he didn't take Shu Qingyan too seriously. Even at the previous birthday party, Shu Qingyan's biological mother, Mrs. Shu, was polite to her Plus.

What shocking things did Shu Qingwan do in the process?

Combining this period of time with Shu Qingwan, Lianyi couldn't help thinking in panic, whether Shu Qingwan, who had slept with her in the past, would have already turned black into an appearance she didn't know?

Was it because her soul was contained in Ruan Lianyi's body, and Ruan Lianyi was Shu Qingwan's childhood obsession, so she escaped?

What about people other than Ruan Lianyi?

Like Ruan Linyi?

Before Shu Qingwan recognized her, if the identity of "Ruan Linyi" was a stumbling block for the blackened Shu Qingwan, would she mercilessly cooperate with others to get rid of it quickly?

Thinking of this, Lian Yi's heartbeat began to become irregular, and she uncontrollably searched out all kinds of things that happened in the past year, and brought out everything to think about it carefully.

She then proceeded to speculate maliciously, assuming that Shu Qingwan was an accomplice to the murderer of Ruan Lin, or that Shu Qingwan was involved in the initial assassination of Ruan Linyi.

As soon as this idea came out, everything went out of control.

She thought to herself that if Shu Qingwan was an accomplice of the mastermind behind the scenes, then after Ruan Lianyi entered the water at the Flower Appreciation Conference, Shu Qingwan's behavior of going to the guest room to find her began to have a meaningless meaning.

At that time, Shu Qingwan had already confirmed with other people behind the scenes that she was Ruan Linyi, so she had already decided to send someone to assassinate her that night. Leaving aside Ruan Lianyi's emotional factors, why did Shu Qingwan know that she was going to the guest room in the afternoon? Was it Zhong Qiqi's trap, and she went there without hesitation?

From the perspective of her being an accomplice behind the scenes, this kind of behavior can clearly understand the meaning of her operation.

She voluntarily entered the trap, intending to clear the suspicion.

That is to say, if "Ruan Linyi" was successfully killed that night, then no one would doubt Shu Qingwan who still cared for Ruan Linyi in the afternoon and even had an affair with Ruan Linyi.

She operated like this in front of everyone, if Ruan Linyi died successfully, then her suspicions would at least be ranked behind Pei Yanfeng, and she would become the person most easily overlooked by others.

Thinking of this, Lian Yi shudderingly remembered that when the assassin was assassinated for the third time, she chased the assassin all the way out of the suburbs, and arrived near the manor where Shu Qingwan lived.

Assuming that the assassin belonged to Shu Qingwan, then it can be guessed that the assassin didn't intend to go to Li Shaoheng's mansion in the east of the city at that time. Could it be that he just wanted to go to the manor to meet Shu Qingwan from the beginning to the end, but was bumped into by her? break?

Otherwise, why is it such a coincidence that the assassin just stopped near the manor, just to play around with her?

If you think so, then it is even more reasonable for Shu Qingwan to cooperate with her to attack the assassin later, because the assassin escaped during the fight with Shu Qingwan, and it was Shu Qingwan who told her that everyone outside It's the jungle, so she doesn't have to chase the assassin.

If this assassin was related to Shu Qingwan, then all of this would make sense.

And since then, that assassin has never appeared again, and not long before this assassin appeared that time, Shu Qingwan had just confirmed her identity as Ruan Lianyi.

Guessing like this, combined with what the assassin said a few days ago, Lian Yi is not well, and I believe that what the assassin said that day is not groundless.

If Shu Qingwan was really related to the mastermind behind the scenes, then the words of the assassins defending Shu Qingwan later on would be even more intriguing. Lian Yi couldn't resist guessing, could it be Shu Qingwan's attempt to cover up her?

Could it be that Shu Qingwan deliberately let these assassins push the matter to Shu Qingyan, and then whitewashed herself?

From this point of view, it is not difficult to know why they were unable to catch the assassins during the three days of heavy siege, and the arrival of these three assassins may be because Shu Qingwan finally knew that she could not hide it from her, so he called these three cannon fodders over. To send a message.

Coincidentally, the last assassin who broke the news was also captured by Shu Qingwan himself a few days ago and kicked off the wall.

After symbolically getting through these things, Lianyi felt like falling into an ice cave.

Although her guesses don't have much basis, but after smoothing them all out, there is actually a frighteningly consistent fit.

Lian Yi couldn't sit still any longer, took advantage of the gradually darkening night, put on night clothes, and went to Shu Mansion.

She must find Shu Qingwan and ask about these unbelievable things, otherwise she will have trouble sleeping and eating in the future.

For some reason this time, the security of the Shu Mansion was much stricter than before. Lian Yi was outside the courtyard wall of the Shu Mansion's house, and he had to guard for a long time without finding a chance to sneak in.

Lian Yi observed the patrolling people coming and going, counting that there were several times more than before, and some servants even took the guy back, looking very serious.

Lianyi stayed on guard for more than half an hour, about the time between patrolling servants preparing to change shifts. Lianyi found the leafy tree before as a cover, and then covered her body and quietly fell into the yard.

She nimbly hid behind the flowerbed next to the big tree, followed the footsteps of the patrolling servants and moved forward, and then approached the room where Shu Qingwan lived little by little.

She hid behind the bonsai outside Shu Qingwan's room for about a quarter of an hour before waiting for a patrolman to see a blind spot, then turned over and entered the corridor, hiding in the shadow behind the pillar and waiting for an opportunity.

Shu Qingwan's room was not lit, and it was pitch black everywhere. Lian Yi listened carefully, but there was no sound of speaking, guessing that Shu Qingwan was probably not in the room.

Lian Yi found the window she had opened last time, and just as the patrolling people had just passed by, she stretched out her hand to poke the gap. Unexpectedly, the window was unlocked, and she quickly pulled it open.

Lian Yi hid in the shadow of the nearby building for a while, observing the situation inside the house, and saw that there was no movement in the house. When the patrolling people passed by, she quickly dodged, tapped her feet, and turned inside.

The furnishings in the house were almost the same as before, and Lianyi carefully covered the windows, and groped towards the bed in the direction of the previous memory.

Sure enough, there was no one on the bed, and the quilt and pillows were neatly folded, which showed that no one had rested on the bed tonight.

Lian Yi still took off his boots and hid aside, then groped to put down the bed curtain, lay on the bed and waited for Shu Qingwan to come back.

The faint fragrance of magnolia from Shu Qingwan's body was everywhere on the bed, even the smell of her clothes made her feel much better.

It's only been a few days since I've seen each other. Ten days ago, she and Shu Qingwan rolled the sheets for more than an hour in the wing room of the Ruan Mansion's West Courtyard. The smell on Shu Qingwan's body was already very satisfying. It's been a long time, but just smelling it like this makes my heart calm down.

I don't know how long it took, even the clothes and others were about to fall asleep, and only then did I vaguely hear the sound of someone approaching from a distance.

There was a voice speaking in a low voice, soft and weak, and Lian Yi listened carefully, only then could he tell that this voice came from Shu Qingwan's servant girl, Ming'er.

Lian Yi hurriedly sat up quietly, listening to the commotion outside.

Then there was the sound of the door being opened, and then Shu Qingwan's tired voice came.

Lian Yi was overjoyed, and heard Ming'er say again: "Miss, the young master knows that you are back, and asked you to go to his place now."

Shu Qingwan's voice was a bit cold: "Tell him to come here by himself, I'm tired and don't want to go there."

Ming'er replied with a low "yes", and then there was a sound of footsteps going out.

Originally, when Shu Qingwan and Minger came in, Lian Yi wanted to wait for Minger to go out, put on his shoes, and rush over to surprise Shu Qingwan.

But when Shu Qingwan asked Ming'er to invite Shu Qingyan over, Lianyi suddenly didn't really want to make a sound, and wanted to hear what Shu Qingwan and Shu Qingyan would say.

Hearing Shu Qingwan's unusual tone when talking to her, she had a bad feeling that if she just went out like this, she would definitely miss something important.

Shu Qingwan might be a little tired. She entered the back room and turned behind the screen, took off her cloak, changed herself into a set of clean clothes, then walked to the window, opened the window and looked in the direction of Ruan Mansion for a while .

For about half a quarter like this, Shu Qingwan kept staring out the window in a daze, without noticing the presence of another person in the room.

Of course, Lian Yi was also holding her breath, trying to minimize her sense of presence. She kept one movement unchanged, for fear that if she made some noise, Shu Qingwan would discover her existence.

Shu Qingwan stared in the direction of the Ruan Mansion outside the window for a while, and then brought Shu Qingyan in tomorrow.

Ming'er took Shu Qingyan to the back room, then saluted, then quietly turned and backed out.

"What's the matter? I can't even call you anymore. If I let you go, you still let me come?" There was a hint of anger in Shu Qingyan's voice, but he seemed to dare to be angry and dare not speak, "How is the investigation going? Is there any movement on his end?"

Shu Qingwan sat down on the chair, poured himself a cup of tea, and said in a very cold voice, "She didn't move. Although Ah Qian confessed to you, her acting skills are not realistic enough. She doesn't seem to believe it, and I told her before , tell her to wait for the news, she probably won't do anything to you recently."

"Besides, Ah Qian and the others are all dead. Now that there is no proof of death, what are you afraid of?"

Shu Qingyan also sat on the chair, and his voice became a little anxious: "Why am I not afraid? He knows that we did it now, will he let us go in the future?"

"Since you know that this kind of thing is dangerous, brother should be more careful before." Shu Qingwan took a sip of tea, his voice was not warm, "Don't leave this mess every time for me to clean up for you, you still need to do things. Think about it."

Shu Qingyan sighed regretfully, and said with a guilty conscience: "Who knew that Li Shao would abuse him..."

"Who is Li Shaoheng, don't you know? How dare you cooperate with him?" Shu Qingwan said disdainfully, "Then when are you going to do it again?"

"Can you do it neatly? What about the one before? The one who killed Ruan Lianyi, where did those people go?"

"Since they were able to kill Ruan Lianyi successfully, they could also successfully kill Ruan Linyi. Why didn't they go after that?"

Shu Qingwan's voice was cold and tingly, not at all the slightest bit of gentleness towards Lianyi in the past, when he said that he was going to kill her, it sounded like he was just trying to kill an insignificant person.

Those cold and harsh words were like a sharp knife cutting Lian Yi's heart, one knife after another, dripping with blood.

The people outside the bed didn't know that the people inside the bed were already feeling chilly, and the heart-wrenching words continued.

"How do I know this?" Shu Qingyan also poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip: "The people are not mine, how do I know where they went? And I really don't know where Li Shaoheng is. what the hell?"

Shu Qingwan thought for a while, and his voice was calm and calm: "Since you have been exposed, let me go to meet Li Shaoheng this time. Make sure Li Shaoheng finds a safe one, and weed out the roots at once!"

Hearing Shu Qingwan say the four cold words "cut grass and roots", Lian Yi couldn't control it anymore, and unconsciously grasped the fingers supporting the bed, making a small sound of rubbing against the cloth.

Shu Qingwan's hand paused for a moment, the fingers holding the teacup tightened slightly, and then he continued to drink tea as if nothing had happened.

Shu Qingyan was about to answer, when he caught this small voice suddenly, he called out "Who?" in vigilance, and then looked around warily.

After noticing any movement, he said to Shu Qingwan, who was drinking tea leisurely, "Qingwan, did you hear anything just now?"

Shu Qingwan put down the teacup, and said with a natural expression: "No, you must have heard it wrong."

"Misunderstood?" Shu Qingyan put the teacup back on the table suspiciously, thinking about what would happen, "Okay, I'll ask Li Shaoheng what he plans to do tomorrow? Then I'll tell you."

Shu Qingwan let out a "hmm", picked up the teapot and continued pouring water for herself.

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Shu Qingyan stood up, and looked around suspiciously, "Why don't you light a lamp in this room?"

Shu Qingwan picked up the teacup and said softly: "It's nothing, I just like darker."

"You really are a freak, huh!" Shu Qingyan mocked weakly, then walked out of the room with a flick of his sleeves, and soon there was a sound of closing the door.

After hearing the footsteps outside gradually going away, Shu Qingwan put down the teacup in his hand, and then approached the bed covered with curtains.

Standing half a meter away from the bed, she said softly, "Is it Lian'er?"

The jumpsuit on the bed covered her mouth with one hand and tightly grasped the quilt with the other. Her lips under her fingers were bitten under her teeth and trembling slightly, unable to speak a word.

Even a fool would understand what Shu Qingwan said just now.

Sure enough, Shu Qingwan is no longer the Shu Qingwan she knew, she is still falling into Shu Qingwan's schemes, all the unfounded things she guessed before have all become reasonable under Shu Qingwan's stern voice. According to the fact.

"Lian'er, is that you?" Shu Qingwan seemed to hear Lian Yi's suppressed panting, and took a step closer, ready to lift the bed curtain.

Lian Yi couldn't bear it any longer, stood up abruptly, and swung forward with all her strength. Shu Qingwan seemed to be prepared, restrained her moves with his shot, and imprisoned her with his backhand.

Shu Qingwan locked Lianyi closer, and heard Lianyi struggling and cursing: "Shu Qingwan! You bastard! You'd better explain to me what happened tonight, or I won't spare you!"

"Lian'er, I can't explain these things right now." Shu Qingwan's voice was very soft, but she couldn't hear too much warmth, "But you believe in me, I will never hurt your Lian'er."

"It won't hurt? Then tell me, do you know about the previous assassinations?" Lian Yi asked, "Don't tell me you don't know anything about it."

Shu Qingwan didn't answer, apparently acquiescing to the matter, she paused for a long time before saying: "May I explain to you later?"

"Bastard! Shu Qingwan, you bastard!" Lian Yi broke free from Shu Qingwan's confinement, and slapped Shu Qingwan with a slap in the face, with a suppressed crying voice, "Did you lie to me about everything before? Was it all a lie?"

Shu Qingwan didn't get angry at all, her voice was still gentle: "Lian'er, I won't hurt you."

"Then what were you guys discussing just now?" Lian Yi smiled wryly, "Don't those just now talk about killing me?"

"You still say you don't know? You also deliberately said to investigate with me, investigate what? Investigate yourself? You think it's very happy to keep coaxing me like this?"

"Lian'er, that's not the case." Shu Qingwan didn't know where to explain, "I won't hurt your Lian'er, let me explain to you later, okay?"

Hearing Shu Qingwan's call to Lian'er, Lian Yi suddenly felt sad.

That's right, for Shu Qingwan, only Ruan Lianyi is different in this world. If one day she is not Ruan Lianyi, then all her exceptions will be wiped out.

Everything she enjoys now is nothing more than the privilege brought by Ruan Lianyi's identity. Shu Qingwan has always loved Ruan Lianyi, not her.

Lian Yi smiled sadly, and said: "Lian'er? You only have Lian'er in your heart. What if one day I am not your Lian'er? Will you treat me like everyone else? You will treat me too. Do I kill it when I say kill it?"

Shu Qingwan was puzzled, and frowned slightly: "You will always be my Lian'er, no matter what you become, you will always be my Lian'er, as long as you are Lian'er, I will always protect you."

This confession didn't have any soothing effect, instead it was like a needle inserted into Lianyi's heart.

Yes, what Shu Qingwan wants to protect and like is always the Ruan Lianyi who accompanied her when she was a child in her obsession, the person she couldn't love, kept on the top of her heart, and finally found it again, not her This lonely ghost who lives in it.

Lian Yi laughed at herself: "As long as I'm your Lian'er? What if I'm not?"

Shu Qingwan frowned even deeper: "Lian'er, why do you say that?"

Lianyi muttered a few times, his eyes were red, but he didn't say anything in the end.

What's the point of saying it?After all, it was her wishful thinking, trying to replace the dead person, but no matter how the years turn, the obsession can never be eradicated. What Shu Qingwan loves is always the dead person who she can never shake.

But who can blame this?

Everything is just her own fault, she knew it was a pit but still chose to fall into it, now that things are like this, mistakes have been made, what's the use of indulging in such a sad result.

Lian Yi put away the grief and anger in her heart, and wanted to ask Shu Qingwan how they were going to assassinate her. She still couldn't believe that Shu Qingwan, who had been with her for so long, would be so cruel.

Before she could ask, suddenly there was a sound at the door that wasn't too loud, but if you listened carefully, you could hear the sound of mixed footsteps.

Shu Qingwan took a serious look, and his complexion turned a little bad for a moment: "Lian'er, my elder brother brought someone here, so go away."

Lian Yi didn't care about continuing to argue with Shu Qingwan, she quickly put on her shoes, then ran to the window, stretched out her arms, and fell out.

The moment the jumpsuit was flipped out, Shu Qingyan led someone into the room through the door, saw Shu Qingwan who was standing at the window pretending to look out, and asked, "Where's the villain?"

Shu Qingwan turned around and continued to sit at the table pretending to be nonchalant: "What kind of villain?"

"I clearly heard the voice just now, how could there be no villains?" Shu Qingyan looked around, walked to the bed and opened the curtain to take a look, "Could it be that I heard it wrong?"

Shu Qingwan took a sip of tea and said in a leisurely manner: "Yes, you got it wrong."

Shu Qingyan didn't believe it, he walked to the table, lit the candles himself, and ordered: "You check the lady's room once, and don't miss any places where people can hide."

The servants responded with a "yes", and then spread out to check.

Everyone searched around, and after confirming that there was no one else, Shu Qingyan left in a mighty manner with his servants.

Shu Qingwan followed and walked out of the room, called all the patrolling people over, and pretended to tell them to patrol strictly. She didn't dismiss them until she saw Lian Yi turn over from the courtyard wall, and returned to the room.
