Shengjing Noble

Chapter 303 Glowing Green

"It seems that Aunt Feng knows how to capture the old man's heart."

"Alas, how can I survive in this mansion if I don't do this? I don't have the wealthy family like the first lady to rely on, nor do I have the calm and carefree state of mind of the third concubine. I am not as young as the sisters who came later. I can only find new ways to please the master."

"But you still have three children to rely on, which is much better than others."

Hearing this, Feng Piaopiao patted her arm, looking helpless.

"Oh, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I have tried my best to please the master, isn't it just to get more for the children? You are not a mother, you don't understand the heart of a mother."

This sentence reminded Su Lanyin.

The eldest lady can push Kang Chenxi into the water for her son, but what about Feng Piaopiao?

As a mother, what mother wouldn't want to fight for her child?

On the surface, this case is indeed aimed at Muzi, but what if... the person behind the scenes was targeting Kang Chenxi from the very beginning?

Thinking of this, Su Lanyin seemed to have finally grasped some clue. A cold light flashed in her eyes, and the look she gave Feng Piaopiao became even colder.

This woman suddenly came over to show her affection, seemingly as if nothing had happened, but in fact, wasn't she just trying to test the waters?

"Oh, Aunt Feng, I just remembered that I have some business to attend to at the government office, so I have to go there."

Su Lanyin deliberately stood up and walked out, but Feng Piaopiao followed her anxiously.

"Miss Su, speaking of the government office, is the young master okay?"

Finally forcing her to ask the main question, Su Lanyin turned around and looked at her, pretending to be deep: "Not so good, the young master was beaten badly, and the county magistrate identified him as the murderer. So far, I have not found any evidence to prove that the young master is innocent."

Feng Piaopiao looked worried: "What should I do? The master has been asking, should I tell him or not? I'm afraid his body can't take it."

"Don't worry, although there is no evidence at the moment, I will find it soon."

"Ah? Really? What evidence?"

"I can't tell you this for now, but I can tell you that the eldest lady is highly suspicious!"

"What! Madam? This, this is impossible..." Feng Piaopiao bit her lower lip, a look of disbelief on her face.

Su Lanyin smiled and said, "I'm just saying it's a suspicion, it's not confirmed yet, Aunt Feng, please do as you please, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, she turned around and hurriedly left the residence, leaving Feng Piaopiao staring at her back in a daze.

……

Outside the Yamen.

As soon as Su Lanyin turned the corner, she saw Jiang Xuan walking out of the prison, and not far behind her was Fu Wuyang who was following her.

It seemed that she was right.

Jiang Xuan did not go to the pharmacy, but came to the prison to see Kang Chenxi.

After the two men walked away, she came to the prison gate and found the jailer she had bribed last time.

"Sir, have those two people just now been put in jail?"

"Ah, no, the woman in front went in and said she was a prisoner's family member. I didn't pay attention to the one behind."

Su Lanyin thought that Fu Wuyang was probably afraid of being discovered, so he didn't go in. Then he definitely didn't know what Jiang Xuan said to Kang Chenxi.

Thinking of this, she took out some silver and stuffed it into the jailer's hand.

"Please let me in again."

"There are few people here right now. If you want to go in, hurry up and don't get discovered."

"Thank you."

When Su Lanyin sneaked into the prison and found Kang Chenxi, he was leaning against the wall with a confused look on his face, as if he was struggling with something.

"Master Kang."

Hearing someone calling him, Kang Chenxi's eyes flashed with panic, and then he stood up by supporting himself against the wall.

"W-why are you here?"

Su Lanyin stared at him with a serious expression: "Jiang Xuan came to see you, right?"

"without……"

Kang Chenxi subconsciously wanted to deny it, but he was too guilty to look her in the eyes. Finally, he nodded helplessly.

"Yes, she came to see me."

"Tell me, what did she want from you?"

"She...she came to tell me something."

"what's up?"

Kang Chenxi sighed heavily, then slid down to the ground, leaning against the wall.

"About the time when I was six years old and was pushed into a lake and nearly drowned."

Su Lanyin frowned and asked, "Do you know who pushed you?"

"Yes, it was Jiang Xuan. She admitted it."

This is really unbelievable. Why did Jiang Xuan come here to say this at this time?

"Can you tell me what you said?"

"It's nothing, actually. She probably thought I was about to die, so she came to me to explain what happened and warned me... not to tell anyone."

"Warned you not to tell anyone?" Su Lanyin was puzzled. "Since she didn't allow you to tell anyone, why did she tell you?"

"It's not the same thing... She told me... just to make me give up."

What Kang Chenxi said became more and more confusing.

Su Lanyin was a little impatient. She said angrily, "Kang Chenxi, do you think that the prince and I can only rely on you to return to Beijing?"

"No... I know that you can go back even if you follow the escort agency, it's just a little more dangerous. But with your abilities, it shouldn't be difficult." Kang Chenxi lowered his head with a dejected look on his face.

"Then what are you hiding? The prince and I are out there running around for you, shouldn't you tell us all the truth you know?"

"I...it's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that it's hard to say..."

"It's hard to say, but I have to say it!"

Kang Chenxi swallowed, took a deep breath, and seemed to have made up his mind. He raised his head and looked at Su Lanyin, then finally spoke.

"This incident might really have been done by Jiang Xuan."

"What evidence do you have?"

"Jiang Xuan said... She has been living in fear for these years, fearing that Muzi would tell others about her pushing me into trouble. Now that Muzi is dead, no one can threaten her position as the mistress anymore. Besides, I am going to die too... After my father dies, the Kang family will belong to her and her son."

"She came in and told you this?"

"Yes, that's right, she said she won." Kang Chenxi curled up the corners of his mouth into a bitter smile, as if he was letting go of some pain.

"Between you..."

Su Lanyin has actually always been suspicious. The relationship between Kang Chenxi and Jiang Xuan is really very confusing, with too many doubts.

"Did you guess it?"

Kang Chenxi looked at her with anticipation in his eyes, as if this matter made him very depressed, and if she said it out, perhaps he could really relax.

A very explosive idea emerged in Su Lanyin's mind. She frowned and spoke tentatively.

"You two are not...having any illicit relationship, are you?"

After hearing this, Kang Chenxi nodded silently, while Su Lanyin felt as if something had exploded in her brain, and it was difficult to digest it for a while.

The top of Mr. Kang’s head is glowing green!

Stepmother and stepson... She really couldn't believe that there were such crazy things in the world!

"I...I don't know why it turned out like this! What happened between us was purely an accident!"
