Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1277 Please come to your door
After leaving the grain store, Lin Jinyan carefully inspected the two shops again to prevent anyone from discovering the clues before taking a carriage back home.

After meeting An Zhixian just now, Lin Jinyan always felt that something was wrong and that she had overlooked it. She thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember it. She suppressed her doubts for the time being, took out Feng Xiaoran's secret letter and unfolded it to read it carefully. The more she read, the more her face turned greener.

Bai Zhi: "Miss, what's wrong?"

Lin Jinyan's anger burned from her heart to her eyes:

"My mother's dowry girl Dongxue, who killed my mother, faked her own death and escaped when the Liu family was hunting her down. She is still alive today. Moreover, her father was once favored by the Queen Mother..."

Thinking back to that kind-looking but vicious empress dowager, she was able to make Ming Yue and her daughter, who were lurking in the Cheng family, assassinate me. It is possible that she was behind my mother's death.

Otherwise, how could my mother's maidservant listen to Liu Yunxiang's orders? A servant who betrays his master has no life left, let alone murdering his master.

"Send a message to Du Xing to investigate Dong Xue's whereabouts and her family."

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Wei Zhong, who was recuperating from his injuries, came forward and told him that Lin Jinyun seemed to have something to do with Lin Jinyan and had been waiting in the mansion for half a day.

Lin Jinyan's mind was as clear as a mirror. She nodded to indicate that she understood, changed her clothes, and went to Songmao Hall to pay her respects to the old lady.

Lin Jinyun had never missed seeing his sister as much as he did during the past half day. When he saw Lin Jinyan, he immediately jumped up from his chair excitedly, but halfway through he thought of Lin Yanqing who was sitting at the upper seat, and forced himself to hold back.

Lin Jinyan and Lin Yanqing both saw Lin Jinyun's actions, but turned a blind eye. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren had a lively conversation. Lin Jinyun took the opportunity to interrupt twice, which made the atmosphere a little cold. He had no choice but to shut up and wait anxiously to leave.

Finally, when the conversation came to the point where the old lady said she was tired, Lin Jinyun immediately stood up to let the old lady rest, and took Lin Jinyan to say goodbye.

Lin Yanqing held the hot tea in his hand, glanced at his wife who had gone into the inner room to take a nap, then turned to look at the backs of his two grandsons walking away. He lowered his eyes to drink the tea, stood up and told Lin Song: "I'm going to the study. When Jinyun leaves, you ask Yan'er to come find me."

The front hall of the Lin Mansion.

Lin Jinyun asked Lin Jinyan about her recent situation in a strange and dry tone. Seeing that Lin Jinyan only replied politely but did not ask him if there was anything wrong, he was secretly annoyed that Lin Jinyan was so stupid and could not read people's expressions.

"Actually... I came to you today... to ask for something."

Lin Jinyan showed a curious look and looked at Lin Jinyun's anxious face, which was tortured by the murder of his mother for many days:

"You and I are brothers by blood, why are you begging me, brother? If you have something to say, just tell me directly."

"You should know that my mother was divorced, right?"

Seeing Lin Jinyan nod, Lin Jinyun could no longer care about anything else and poured out all the prepared remarks. Although he added a lot of hypocritical words to polish them, the general meaning was:

After Liu Yunxiang was divorced, she was rejected by the Liu family. She ran away from home. He searched for her for many days without success. He wanted to report to the authorities to find her, but he was afraid that others would laugh at him because his mother was divorced. So he came to Lin Jinyan for help:
"I was kidnapped by criminals last time, and it was you, my sister, who worked tirelessly to find me. I thought you had done this before and had more experience than me, so I came to you to ask you to help me find my mother privately."

"How could Second Aunt be missing for so long? We need to tell Grandfather and Grandpa quickly so they can send more people to look for her."

Lin Jinyan's face was filled with shock. While she was speaking, she stood up anxiously and was about to walk out, but was grabbed by Lin Jinyun. She made up a lot of excuses and was so anxious that she was about to cry. Finally, she persuaded Lin Jinyun to stop and promised not to tell anyone else and to help her look for it privately.
