Chapter 23: Shadow

Views:

Tinglan Garden is located to the east of Banyue Lake. It is an elegant courtyard with two entrances. It is named because it is adjacent to Fuzhong Orchid Garden.

Fu Ling looked at the room with brocade carpets and luxurious tents, and her eyes were slightly red, "The maidservant and miss have finally moved out of the west backyard. Miss saved the young lady and the young master. The old lady finally knows how to be grateful to miss."

Changed to a more gorgeous and exquisite house, but Qin Wan's emotions were not too turbulent.

Her eyes fell on the thick black night outside the window, and the evening breeze caressed gently, a faint scent of orchids floated over. In the past, in Shen's mansion in the capital, her small courtyard was also full of orchids. His father and mother are also from Ailan.

"Miss, what's the matter with you?" Fu Ling took a cloak and put it on Qin Wan, "Miss, are you missing the master and wife? Or are you thinking about the Anyang Marquis Mansion?"

Qin Wan suddenly came to his senses.

In the dead of night, she unconsciously immersed herself in the past.

Grief, helplessness, despair...Hate but she doesn't know who to hate, but she knows that she can't let these emotions defeat her, she must be clear and rational, she must solve the troubles in front of her, and then approach her father's injustice step by step.

It has been half a month since the incident happened, what is the situation in the capital

Will someone cry out for his father? Concubine Jin's case settled

Qin Wan gritted her teeth and nodded, "I miss my father and mother."

Fu Ling's voice became hoarse, "Master and Madam will be happy to see Miss's situation getting better day by day."

Qin Wan exhaled, pushed open the window lattice, squinted her eyes, and looked to the northeast of the mansion.

After changing the residence, the distance from Zizhu Forest became farther and farther away. The last time I went to meet Qin Li, and she had no chance after that, Qin Wan did not give up. She firmly believed that there would be evidence left in Zizhu Forest.

The murderer must be a member of the Qin family, he may meet her every day, or he may travel with her in chariots and horses.

If this crisis is not eliminated, she will be in danger of dying again.

"What are you looking at, miss? Do you want to see the orchid garden outside?"

Qin Wan withdrew his gaze, "I want to go and have a look, but it's too late now, wait until tomorrow, bring a few pots of orchid grass indoors, so that there is no need to burn incense."

The corners of Fu Ling's lips curled up, "There's no need to wait for tomorrow, this servant is going to move it for Miss now." After saying that, Fu Ling walked out, "Miss, do you know that we have a side door here, which leads directly to the orchid garden!"

As the night was getting dark, Qin Wan wanted to stop Fuling, but seeing Fuling's happy expression, she didn't say anything.

Tightening the cloak tightly, Qin Wan followed and walked out.

Qin Wan stood under the eaves and watched Fu Ling head towards the orchid garden with a lantern.

Fu Ling walked straight along the veranda, and soon reached the side door. Seeing her happily entering the orchid garden, Qin Wan just looked away.

This small courtyard is unique and elegant. There are long orchids planted in the middle courtyard, and the blooming roses in the corner and an ancient willow with gnarled branches immediately make this small courtyard elegant.

Qin Wan scanned carefully, and his heart slowly calmed down.

"ah-"

Qin Wan was about to walk down the steps when a terrifying scream suddenly sounded!

The voice came from the direction of Lanpu, it was Fuling, Qin Wan frowned, and ran towards Lanpu!

"Fu Ling—Fu Ling, what's wrong with you—"

Just as Qin Guan ran to the side door, Fu Ling bumped into her arms in a panic.

"Miss! Someone! There is someone in the orchid—"

The lantern in Fu Ling's hand disappeared, and Qin Wan hugged her with a look of horror on her face, "Don't worry, don't worry, is it the gardener in the house? Or another servant?"

Fu Ling was so frightened that she was about to cry, she just shook her head hastily, "No, no, it's not a craftsman, the servant is carrying flowers for the young lady, and that man is standing behind the flower stand, young lady, the servant is scared to death..."

Qin Wan frowned instantly, she turned around quickly, picked up the wind lamp under the eaves, looked around, picked up a shovel at the side door, turned around and was about to go to the orchid garden!

"Miss, what are you going to do?"

Qin Wan's heart was beating wildly, but her hand holding the lamp was steady.

"Go and see—"

Fu Ling grabbed Qin Wan, "Miss, don't go, that NPC hid in Lanpu at night, he must not be a good person, maybe, maybe he wanted to come to our place to steal something, the servant is afraid—"

Qin Wan calmed down, "I'm in front, you follow me, this is not on the west side, as long as you shout, someone will hear you, don't be afraid, let's go and see who it is—"

Fu Ling was still in shock, but seeing Qin Wan's calm expression was encouraged.

She said "Yes", picked up a broom herself, and walked towards Lanpu together with Qin Wan.

The entire orchid garden is huge, with more than a dozen flower fields scattered like a checkerboard on the ground. Inside are new-born orchid grass seedlings and common types of orchid grass, while those orchid grasses that have been cultivated into excellent appearance are planted in pots. The flower stands on all sides are as tall as a person. If someone hides behind them, they won't be able to see them unless they remove the orchid pots.

"Miss, right there—"

Fu Ling pointed, and tightened her grip on the broom nervously.

Qin Wan glanced around. At this moment, the fragrance of the orchid garden was very fragrant, but the quiet needle drop could be heard.

Stepping up, Qin Wan walked towards the flower stand that Fu Ling was pointing at.

As soon as he approached, Qin Wan saw the lantern that had fallen on the ground first. The lantern fell to the ground and went out. There was also a pot of orchid grass that had been broken, and two pots of orchid grass were moved down and placed on the ground.

"Just now, my servant was here. First I picked two pots and put them on the ground. When I went to move the third pot, I suddenly found a smear of a robe. The servant felt that something was wrong. When I looked closely, there was a person standing behind the flower stand."

What Fu Ling said gave Qin Wan a chill. She collected herself and walked behind the flower stand.

"The servant screamed in fright, and the lanterns and flower pots in his hand fell to the ground. The servant didn't care about anything, and turned around and ran towards you—"

There was nothing behind the flower stand, and people naturally ran away.

"Can you see the face clearly?"

"No."

"What about the clothes you're wearing?"

Fu Ling had a bitter face, "I didn't see it clearly, it was dark behind the flower stand, I just felt that he was wearing dark clothes..."

Qin Wan's eyes darkened.

The night was already dark, if you came to see the flowers, you would never come at this time, and the visitor didn't light up the lanterns, and he clearly saw Fu Ling but didn't make a sound. When Fu Ling found out, he ran away without explaining.

Is it to steal something

Qin Wan turned to look at the side door of Tinglan Garden, which was more than 20 steps away, and shook his head.

They just moved here tonight, and the whole house knows the news, if they steal something, they will definitely not come to steal tonight.

And around this orchid garden, there is only one courtyard, Tinglan Garden.

Qin Wan narrowed her eyes, this ghostly figure was clearly here to spy on them!

Ever since he found out that Miss Jiu was murdered, Qin Wan felt that the murderer would definitely be watching their movements in the dark. Could it be that the person standing here just now was the one who killed Miss Jiu

The night was as cool as water, and the evening wind brushed Qin Wan's cheeks, and she subconsciously tightened her collar.

As she thought, the murderer was by her side!

"What are you doing!?"

Qin Wan was contemplating when a human voice suddenly sounded. Qin Wan's eyes trembled, and he looked towards where the sound came from. When he looked, he saw Qin Chen, the young master of the Qin family, standing at the side door.

He was still wearing the embroidered bamboo blue robe, elegant and handsome, with a compelling demeanor.
