The matter of Uncle Alan gave Murong Xi a headache, because that picture scroll might be the key to that woman going to Leng Mansion. And their people have not yet been able to come back from Northern Xinjiang, so it seems that things are indeed a bit tricky.
All she can wait for now is the news about the woman and the actions of the patriarch. The patriarch has not dared to move around freely these days and has always stayed alone. But this does not prove that he is honest, because he will still come here secretly.
Visit Xun'er.
He said he came to visit secretly, but actually he wanted to attract Xun'er's attention. Let Xun'er know how sincere he was, even if he came to visit her despite threats.
Murong Xi still needs to control the clan leader, so he cannot be allowed to plan to take action now. After all, there is no news about the woman yet.
Early the next morning, the people from Anxiang Pavilion sent news.
"Miss, this is the news about that woman." The man in black put the news into Murong Xi's hands and left the Fengtian Sect.
Murong Xi took the bamboo tube and opened it, and found several paintings inside. Suddenly, something fell on the table. Murong Xi took a closer look and saw that it was a jade pendant.
Murong Xi looked at a few paintings first, and the woman in the painting was that woman. She also had a mole on the corner of her mouth. This woman looked very seductive. No wonder A-Lan's father was so used to it.
Look at the jade pendant again. It's crystal clear. It's not vulgar at first glance. Does this jade pendant belong to that woman? It doesn't matter. The jade pendant was probably given to her by her benefactor.
Murong Xi looked at the paintings again, and Yao'er was written on them.
That woman's name is Yao'er?
Why is this name the same as the name of Amu's secret guard?
After looking through several paintings, Murong Xi finally saw some records at the end.
It turns out that her name is Xinyue and she grew up in northern Xinjiang. The woman named Yaoer in the painting is her mother.
After her mother passed away and Xinyue buried her mother, she went to a brothel alone. Originally, the madam saw that she was young, honest, easy to control, and pretty pretty, so he kept her. Who knew?
This girl has a very bad temper. Not only is she difficult to control, but she also sets rules for the brothel to do her acting and not to sell her body. But because she is so popular, the madam has no choice but to agree to her request, but she will stay in the brothel all day long.
The madam was a little confused. Since this girl was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she had made a rule not to accept guests, why did she still drink with those men all day long?
The madam couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it. Anyway, she was satisfied if she was willing to drink and talk with her guests.
Because she always wears a veil when meeting guests, no one except the madam has seen her true face.
When Murong Xi's people went to investigate, they found that the madam and the girl next to Xinyue had contracted serious diseases long after Xinyue left, and they both fell ill and died one after another.
The corners of Murong Xi's lips raised, knowing that this woman was difficult to deal with, and it was just as she expected.
Because she was worried that she would be investigated, she had already poisoned the madam and the girl. It seems that she thought that the eldest young master of the Leng family was very smart and would investigate her background. Little did she know that the one who investigated her was actually the eldest young master's son.
With the death of Xinyue's mother, and the madam and the girls around her, no one has ever seen her true face. Therefore, A-Lan sent people to investigate, and even went there himself, but no results were found. This
That's the great thing about Xinyue, she has already thought about the next thing.
However, this jade pendant looked a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
Could it be that there are only so few results from the investigation? Anxiang Pavilion started investigating. If there are only so few, it means that there are really no clues.
What should we do next? The origin of that woman is definitely not simple. If her mother is so beautiful, she should not be much different. She can show this portrait to Alan to see if it is this woman.
.
Murong Xi held the jade pendant in her hand in trance, because the pattern on the jade pendant looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember it anyway.
At this time, Feng Mingye and Ji Limo came back together. Seeing Murong Xi standing in the front hall in a daze, Feng Mingye asked: "Xier, what are you doing?"
"A message from Anxiang Pavilion just came. Take a look." Murong Xi turned around and handed the portrait on the table to Ji Limo and Feng Mingye, and of course the letter.
Ji Limo and Feng Mingye first read the letter about the woman, and then picked up the portrait.
"Xier, did Anxiang Pavilion only find out so little information?" Feng Mingye asked.
"Yes, I am also a little surprised, because if nothing can be found in Anxiang Pavilion, it means that there are really no clues. No wonder A Lan went to investigate in person and found nothing. However, I was even more surprised.
What's more, this woman is really not simple." Murong Xi nodded and said.
"After my mother passed away, she went to a brothel by herself. When she left, the madam and her maid were both seriously ill and died. It seems that she was trying to kill people and silence them." Feng Mingye said.
"Yes, that's right. If she didn't need to hide her identity, why did she kill people to silence her? Now that she can control the madam, why does she still need to shuttle around those high-ranking officials every day?" Murong Xi said.
"She seems to be looking for something, that's why she does this. Is it because she can meet high-ranking people, so she takes the initiative to go to the brothel?" Feng Mingye said.
"It does seem like she is looking for something, otherwise she would not do this. Considering that she came back with A-Lan's father, then what she is looking for may be the map of the ancient tomb. After she heard what A-Lan's father said, she must have
There is a plan to test A-Lan's father." Murong Xi analyzed.
"Well, that's right. She probably knew that A-Lan's father was the eldest young master of the Leng family, and then she followed him back to the Leng family. However, there is still something fishy. How could she be sure that A-Lan's father had something in his possession?
What about the map of the ancient tomb?" Feng Mingye said.
"If A-Lan's father had said that he had gone to the ancient tomb, that woman was already very sensitive to the ancient tomb. In addition, after investigating the identity of A-Lan's father, the Leng family would never be unprepared when going to the tomb. Without a map
, they will not take risks." Murong Xi said.
Murong Xi means that since the Leng family has gone to the tomb, it means that they must have a map in their hands. And that woman should have known about the relationship between the Leng family and the ancient tomb, so after hearing that A Lan's father was a Leng family, she immediately took the initiative
Close. Feng Mingye naturally moved Murong Xi's interest, but why on earth did this woman want to find the map of the ancient tomb? Moreover, she was far away in northern Xinjiang, how could she know so much about the Leng family?
"I know this woman." Ji Limo, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said.
"Huh? Do you know the person in the painting or the one wearing the veil?" Murong Xi asked doubtfully.
Ji Limo suddenly said that he knew this woman. Murong Xi couldn't react for a moment whether it was the woman in the portrait or the woman who came back with A Lan's father.
"Of course it's the woman in the portrait. She is the escaped saint of Fengtian Sect." Ji Limo said.
"Wait, didn't that happen a long time ago? If she were alive, she would probably be about the same age as her master, right?" Murong Xi said in surprise.
"Could he be a descendant of that saint?" Feng Mingye asked.
"No, the woman in the portrait is the saint. The moles under her eyes cannot fool anyone," Ji Limo said.
"But how could she... Since someone can draw her appearance, it means that she looked like this more than thirty years ago." Murong Xi said.
"Perhaps she became like this because she practiced forbidden arts, but I didn't expect that she was not the one who became possessed back then." Ji Limo said coldly.
"It was someone else who became possessed, and she escaped?" Murong Xi asked in surprise.
"Yes, it seems that she was deceived back then. I didn't expect that she was actually living in Northern Xinjiang. The strange thing is, is that woman really her child?" Ji Limo said doubtfully.
"Oh, by the way, there is a jade pendant here. It looks very familiar to me, but I can't remember where I saw it before." Murong Xi handed the jade pendant to Ji Limo's hand.
Ji Limo took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, then said, "Aren't the patterns on this jade pendant the same as those in the dark cave of Xianyun Palace?"
"Huh? It's true. So that woman's mother is indeed the saint you mentioned." Murong Xi took it and looked at it carefully before thinking about it.
"The pattern on this jade pendant is actually on the token I gave you. I'm afraid you haven't even seen it." Ji Limo said.
"I really haven't looked at it carefully, it's just a token." Murong Xi said.
"If she is really the child of the saint, why would she suddenly look for the ancient tomb? And where did she hear about it? Logically speaking, the saint should not know about this." Ji Limo asked in confusion.
.
"I understand what you mean. How could she be so clear about things that you don't even know about? It seems that only this woman can tell us what happened." Murong Xi said.
"Do you want to go to Leng Mansion to investigate?" Ji Limo said.
"That's good. At least find out what this woman wants to do first. It would be best for your people to investigate." Ji Limo's people are good at witchcraft and it is very convenient to do things.
"Xi'er, do we need to delay the clan leader's affairs?" Feng Mingye asked.
He planned to investigate the woman here and keep an eye on the clan leader over there. Feng Mingye was worried that Murong Xi would be too tired. Moreover, the clan leader had already laid almost all the lines.
"Things over there have been dragging on so that the clan leader won't be able to act too quickly. However, Xun'er seems very anxious. But, it would be nice if I could see the map of the Leng family. I'm really curious. Since
Just for a map, why did you stay in the Leng family for so many years and never leave?" Murong Xi asked with some confusion.
That woman has gained the trust of A-Lan's father, and every move she makes will affect A-Lan's father's emotions. Therefore, if that woman forces A-Lan's father to tell him about the ancient tomb, she will definitely get the answer. But over the years,
A-Lan's father didn't mention the matter about the ancient tomb again. With her ability, it was actually very easy to get the map. Unless, A-Lan's father didn't know where the map was.
That woman is so shrewd and has lived with A-Lan's father for so long. How could she not know that A-Lan's father lied to her?
In this case, why does she still stay in the Leng Mansion? You must know that the old man once told no one to mention the second uncle A Lan. Therefore, no one in the Leng Mansion ever mentioned the second uncle.
Therefore, she had no clue about the ancient tomb. However, she did not leave because there were no clues. What was the reason for this? Did she firmly believe that she would find clues in the Leng family?
