son, don't mess around

Chapter 531 We are called lustful

I have to say, Xu Lan was obviously feeling a little suffocated after being locked up at home for a few days!

As soon as they were released, they immediately ran to find Lin Jiangnian and chattered around him.

Xu Lan's personality is lively and free-spirited. After expressing her feelings to Lin Jiangnian, she completely let herself go.

"Humph, you really didn't miss me!"

Seeing that Lin Jiangnian didn't say anything, Xu Lan's eyes gradually became somewhat resentful.

Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but laugh: "Who did you learn this from?"

Are you starting to act pitiful?

"Humph, I didn't learn it, I just feel wronged!"

Xu Lan pouted and said angrily, "You must be very happy these days without me bothering you, right?"

"That vixen must have been pestering you all the time, right?"

Her tone turned a little sour.

Lin Jiangnian reached out and knocked on her head angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"That's what it is!"

Xu Lan covered his head and said unconvincedly: "Can you guarantee that the vixen hasn't been pestering you these days?"

"You and her are innocent?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "Why are you calling her a vixen for no reason?"

"She is a vixen!"

Xu Lan said angrily.

"You have to call her sister from now on."

"impossible!"

Xu Lan seemed to be stimulated by something, and her eyes widened immediately. "Even if I, Xu Lan, die, I will never call her sister!"

Call her Sister Jinxiu?
Xu Lan didn't want to die.

She is still brooding over what happened before!
I personally sent that vixen to Lin Jiangnian's bed. Whenever I think of this, Xu Lan wants to slap herself twice... So stupid!

So stupid that I'm crying!

She and Jinxiu had never gotten along well, and they almost had a fight last time. The relationship between them was like water and fire.

From now on, let her call me Sister Jinxiu?

Xu Lanning refused to surrender until his death.

Seeing Xu Lan's emotions becoming so intense, Lin Jiangnian stopped provoking her: "You came at the right time today. I just happened to have something to talk to you about."

"what's up?"

Hearing that Lin Jiangnian had something to talk to her about, Xu Lan quickly calmed down and looked at Lin Jiangnian with a little hope: "What do you want to talk to me about?!"

"It's something very important."

Lin Jiangnian asked her: "Chen Yingying, do you still remember her?"

"Chen Yingying?"

Xu Lan was stunned. This name was a little unfamiliar to her at first. She just felt that it sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.

With Lin Jiangnian's reminder, Xu Lan quickly remembered who the other person was.

"The courtesan before Qingfeng Tower?"

"Yes." Lin Jiangnian nodded.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Lan was slightly stunned, a little strange, not knowing why Lin Jiangnian suddenly asked her: "Isn't she dead?"

"I remember you said a year ago..."

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and said, "You were the one who told her about the whereabouts of Prince Lin's outing, right?"

The smile on Xu Lan's face disappeared slightly, and he began to look a little uneasy.

"You, why are you suddenly asking this again?"

"Don't worry, I just remembered something."

Lin Jiangnian saw Xu Lan's worry and comforted her softly, then asked, "Were you familiar with her at that time?"

"Unfamiliar."

Xu Lan shook her head.

How could she, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, be so familiar with a prostitute?
I've only heard of each other's reputation and met him a few times.

"Then how did you tip her off?"

"I went to find someone else."

Xu Lan snorted: "Of course I can't go by myself, I just found someone to send her a letter..."

After listening to Xu Lan's explanation, Lin Jiangnian seemed to be thinking about something.

It can be seen that Xu Lan and Chen Yingying are indeed not familiar with each other. If it weren't for the Prince of Lin, I'm afraid the two of them would never have met in this life.

"what happened?"

Seeing Lin Jiangnian lost in thought, Xu Lan couldn't help but ask, "Why are you asking about her all of a sudden? Does she have any other secrets?"

"Ah."

Lin Jiangnian nodded and guessed, "She may not be a simple person. I suspect there were other forces behind her who participated in the murder of Prince Lin."

In fact, this strength might be related to Lin Jiangnian's current background.

This is also the reason why Lin Jiangnian is so concerned about it.

"Lin Wangfu, didn't they find out?"

Xu Lan blinked. She hadn't paid attention to this matter for a long time.

She only knew that Chen Yingying had never come out since she was arrested and taken to the Lin Wang Mansion a year ago. At that time, the city was in chaos, many people were arrested, and Qingfeng Tower was almost uprooted.

I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect...

Haven't you caught the person behind this yet?
"If we can catch him, things will be much simpler." Lin Jiangnian sighed.

"That's it..."

Xu Lan nodded thoughtfully, and then, as if she had thought of something, "Now that you mention it, I seem to feel that something is wrong..."

"That Chen Yingying does seem a little strange?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at her: "What do you mean?"

Xu Lan thought about it carefully and said, "A year ago when he was still alive, I followed him to Qingfeng Tower and met Chen Yingying..."

"That time, I was wandering around Qingfeng Tower and accidentally saw Chen Yingying meeting some strange people in the backyard..."

Xu Lan recalled the first time she went to Qingfeng Tower. She was very curious about the brothel, so she took Xiaolu around. As a result, in the backyard, she saw Chen Yingying whispering with a few strange men.

At that time, Xu Lan did not find it strange. After all, in a brothel, even if a prostitute was the most expensive, she was still a prostitute after all.

But now that I think about it carefully, it seems that something is indeed wrong.

Chen Yingying was the most famous prostitute in Qingfeng Tower. In addition, word had already spread in Linjiang City that Chen Yingying was the concubine of the Prince of Lin, so it was unlikely that she would get close to other men.

In addition, the people were talking and whispering at the time, and everyone's expression was a little solemn. It has been so long, Xu Lan can't remember the specific situation clearly, but she can be sure that those people are definitely not ordinary prostitutes.

Now when she heard Lin Jiangnian say this, she immediately made the connection.

"Could those people be the force behind Chen Yingying?"

Lin Jiangnian thought thoughtfully: "Do you still remember what those people looked like?"

"Can not remember……"

Xu Lan shook her head. It had been so long, how could she still remember so much?

"But I remember there was a man with a very square face... and another man who was a little thin, but I don't remember the others..."

Lin Jiangnian nodded silently.

"What's wrong? Do you want to find them out?"

Xu Lan couldn't help but ask: "But, Chen Yingying is dead, and it's been so long. It may be difficult to find them..."

"Just try it first, and forget it if it doesn't work."

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

Once Chen Yingying died, this connection was cut off. Trying to find these people now is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Lin Jiangnian didn't hold out much hope, but he didn't give up either.

Lin Qingqing followed Lin Jiangnian's orders to investigate the whereabouts of Sun Yuan's wife. She was not at home for the past two days, so Lin Jiangnian called Lin Kong.

Like Lin Qingqing, Lin Kong was a talented soldier in Prince Lin's personal army and was a master selected by Lin Hengzhong himself.

Since the incident a year ago, Lin Kong has been following Lin Jiangnian. He has been dedicated to his duties and can be regarded as a loyal minister.

It's just right to let him handle this matter.

When Lin Kong heard Lin Jiangnian asking him to check the details of the brothels in Linjiang City, he was slightly stunned.

It seems a bit unexpected.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Lin Jiangnian glanced at him.

"Don't dare."

Lin Kong lowered his head quickly. Lin Jiangnian seemed to see through his thoughts and said calmly: "When you go to investigate this time, you must keep a low profile and don't alert the enemy. Focus on investigating Qingfeng Tower and Yingfeng Garden. This prince knows that your old lover is still in Yingfeng Garden, right?"

When the prince spoke to him, Lin Kong lowered his head even more.

Seeing this scene, Lin Jiangnian looked indifferent.

He said calmly: "When you get this done, I will redeem her and marry her to you."

Hearing this, Lin Kong's expression was shocked, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.

His Highness had made such a promise a year ago, but Lin Kong did not believe it at that time.

Now hearing His Highness mention this matter again, it means that His Highness has not forgotten it, which makes Lin Kong feel a little excited.

"Your Highness, I bow to thank you!"

"..."

"You want to marry Su Lu to Lin Kong?"

After Lin Kong left, Xu Lan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly looked at him with strange eyes.

"What's the matter? Is there any problem?" Lin Jiangnian asked.

"no……"

Xu Lan's eyes became even stranger: "That Su Lu is the most beautiful girl in Yingfeng Garden!"

"What's wrong?"

"Don't you like her?"

Lin Jiangnian was puzzled: "When did I like her?"

"Is not it?"

Xu Lan obviously didn't believe it: "That Su Lu is very beautiful!"

Lin Jiangnian was amused by her train of thought: "Just because she's pretty, does that mean I have to like her?"

"But, isn't that what people say outside?"

"How is it spread outside?"

"People say that you not only like Chen Yingying from Qingfeng Tower, but you also can't forget Su Lu, the courtesan from Yingfeng Garden... Didn't you go to see her a year ago?"

Xu Lan argued convincingly.

This guy is so lewd, both lustful and fickle.

Bad guy!

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

That's how rumors spread.

He has never seen Su Lu, so how could he like her?

The only time I went to Yingfeng Garden, I happened to meet Shen Lingjun who was pretending to be Su Lu.

As for liking someone, there is no question of that.

"You really don't like it?"

Xu Lan was a little skeptical at first, but when she saw that Lin Jiangnian didn't look like he was lying, she began to believe it.

"I was wondering, why did you give Sulu to him?"

"Stop, this is not a gift." Lin Jiangnian shook his head.

Xu Lan rolled her eyes: "I know, it's to win people's hearts."

"This is called helping others to achieve their goals. Lovers should eventually get married."

Lin Jiangnian sighed with emotion.

Xu Lan blinked and suddenly asked, "What about us?"

"what?"

"We, does this count as lovers finally getting married?"

Xu Lan's dark eyes moved and he looked at Lin Jiangnian with some hope.

"us?"

Lin Jiangnian met Xu Lan's watery gaze, looked her up and down, and shook his head: "For the two of us, this is at most just lust for sex."

The smile on Xu Lan's face froze immediately, and then he said angrily: "You are the one who is attracted by her beauty!"

"Stop."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head and glanced at her again: "It's you who are tempted by her beauty. It's you who intends to do something bad to me."

"Bah, you are shameless, only ghosts have bad intentions towards you!"

"is it?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed, "I wonder who was the one who tried to drug me last time and tarnish my innocence..."

"you shut up!"

Xu Lan's face flushed red, and she stretched out her hand to cover Lin Jiangnian's mouth in anger: "Stop talking!"

"Shut up, no, don't mention this!"

"..."

What happened last time was the pain of Xu Lan's life.

Afterwards, she found it difficult to accept this fact and regarded it as a shame.

Not only did his evil intentions fail, but he also lost something that originally belonged to him... Anyone would be broken-down by this!

Therefore, when Xu Lan heard Lin Jiangnian bring up the matter again, he immediately became furious and wanted to silence him.

"Okay, okay, let's not mention it."

Lin Jiangnian just teased her and agreed with a smile.

"You, you only know how to bully me!"

Xu Lan's face turned red with anger, and she gritted her teeth, feeling too embarrassed to face anyone.

"Is this considered bullying?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows.

"Forget it!" Xu Lan snorted heavily.

"Okay, then I'll bully you."

Lin Jiangnian smiled and said, "Is it too late for me to change my words now?"

"What did you change?"

"Change it to 'This prince is attracted to you!'"

As Lin Jiangnian spoke, his eyes fell on Xu Lan, and he looked at her with a smile: "Does this prince have bad intentions towards you and covet your body?"

"you……"

Xu Lan's face, which had not yet faded, suddenly turned even redder.

When Lin Jiangnian's eyes were fixed on her, she instinctively put her hands over her chest, and her tone became a little stammering: "You, what do you want to do?!"

"You have bad intentions!"

Lin Jiangnian's tone was matter-of-fact, and he raised his eyebrows: "Still blocking it?"

"You're blocking me, what am I supposed to see?"

"Disgusting, obscene!"

Xu Lan felt her face getting hot, she had never expected Lin Jiangnian to say this. She was totally inexperienced and felt very ashamed and at a loss.

"No, don't look at it..."

Xu Lan had the urge to run away.

"Isn't this possible?"

Lin Jiangnian's voice came again: "Show the same momentum you showed last time when you drugged me?"

"me……"

Xu Lan stuttered.

When he drugged Lin Jiangnian, he was stimulated by Jinxiu, and with Xiaolu's instigation, he made the decision with gritted teeth.

But after calming down, the girl's shy emotions surged into her heart. How could she still have any of the courage she had before?

"Forget it, I won't show it to you. I'll go find Jinxiu."

Lin Jiangnian turned around while talking to himself.

Xu Lan, who was originally very embarrassed, trembled slightly and her eyes suddenly widened when she heard this.

Immediately afterwards, a feeling of anger suddenly surged into my heart.
