In troubled times, the daughter-in-law returns

Chapter 39 Cooperation
Lan Kexin bit her lip, lowered her head, revealing a section of her snow-white neck, and said timidly, "Brother Ye, I just... want to cover you with a thin quilt."

Sikong Ye looked straight at her, "Do you know what happened last night?"

Lan Kexin raised her head, her big moist eyes were full of doubts, "Last night? Something happened? No, I slept here well last night..." She blushed and was very shy, "What is Brother Ye? The time has come? How come no one wakes me up?"

Sikong Ye stood up, "It's fine if nothing happens." He walked away.

Lan Kexin hugged the quilt and chased for a few steps before reaching the door, Sikong Ye's people had already arrived in the yard, and when she got to the porch, Sikong Ye had already disappeared.

She lowered her eyes, dejected.

Yu Ning walked over quickly, "Girl, are you up? The quilt is not sleeping well and you want to dry it? The servants are responsible for these things." As she spoke, she took the quilt from her arms and handed it to the little maid, supporting her Going back again, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Lan Kexin shook her head, a little listless, "No need, you help me to wash up."

Yu Ning helped her sit down in front of the dressing table, helped her comb her long hair bit by bit, and suddenly said, "Miss Lan, do you want to cooperate?"

Lan Kexin was startled, and wanted to turn around, but when she turned her head, her scalp hurt. It turned out that a lock of hair was still in "Yuning"'s hand, so she had no choice but to turn around and look at the hair that belonged to her in the mirror. Yu Ning's face showed panic, "Who is it? What do you mean?"

"Hehe," the woman said with a smile, "Miss Lan, we smart people don't talk dark words, I can see clearly what you want to play, so don't pretend, just say whether you want to capture Sikong Ye heart of?"

Lan Kexin pretended to be tough, "What does this have to do with you?"

The woman raised her voice to tell the maids outside not to come in, and then said slowly: "If Miss Lan is afraid that I will harm you, then there is no need. To tell you the truth, the purpose of my coming here is Mu Xue."

Lan Kexin was a little surprised.

The woman continued: "Mu Xue is my master's sweetheart, but now she and Sikong Ye are getting too close, in order to prevent her from being confused by Sikong Ye, so I have to take some measures.

"And hasn't Miss Lan always wanted to win Sikong Ye's heart? We have the same goal, so why not cooperate?"

Lan Kexin looked a little gloomy, "But you are looking for the wrong person to cooperate with me. Although I really like Brother Ye very much and want to marry him, but he has another person in his heart. That person is not Mu Xue, there may be some similarities between Mu Xue and that person, if not, Brother Ye would not spoil Mu Xue like this.

"However, if that person can come back to life, brother Ye will definitely abandon Mu Xue. And I have no chance from the beginning to the end."

The woman froze for a moment. Obviously, Lan Kexin's words were something she had never heard of before, "Tell me about it in detail."

Lan Kexin said sadly: "Brother Ye had a childhood sweetheart, but unfortunately for some reason, the girl died young, it is said that she died in a fire. For so many years, Brother Ye has been trying to revive her, and I just used To contain the horcrux of the girl's soul.

"All the rumors about me outside are false. I am not Brother Ye's sweetheart at all, let alone his fiancée. He protects me and gives me a good life just for that girl."

The woman's eyes flashed, "Do you know who that woman's identity is?"

Lan Kexin shook her head, "I don't know, I've been here for more than nine years, and I've tried everything, but I can't get any useful information. More than ten years ago, there were many fires in Yecheng, and many people died of fires. There are also quite a few girls, and several of them have a good relationship with the City Lord's Mansion, so I'm not sure who that girl is at all.

"Some time ago, we performed a ritual, which almost succeeded. I could feel that there was a powerful force tearing at my soul, but then there was a thunderstorm, and the ritual failed, and the girl was not revived."

The woman frowned, "Is there really such a bizarre thing in the world?"

Lan Kexin sighed softly, "Your master and I are poor people, and I don't care about you. You also know how difficult it is to enter the city lord's mansion. You'd better leave early, so as not to make any mistakes and harm you." you."

The woman raised one corner of her lips evilly, "Miss Lan, can we not act? My old lady has traveled all over the world and met many people. You can't do this little trick at all, okay?"

Lan Kexin froze, a look of embarrassment appeared on her originally gentle face, "What exactly do you want?"

"Hehe," the woman skillfully helped her roll up her hair, and said leisurely, "My name is Xiaoli, and I was the one who helped you spread your good reputation before. also me.

"I told you that we have the same purpose and can cooperate. Why don't you believe it?"

Lan Kexin's tone turned cold, "You suddenly appeared to cooperate with me, and you said so many inexplicable things, how can I believe it?"

The little raccoon clapped his hands, "That's right! Aren't you tired of pretending every day? You just need to answer my question now, do you want Sikong Ye?"

Lan Kexin knew that she couldn't hide from her, so she answered honestly: "I want to!"

"It's easy to handle," Xiaoli smiled, "You had a very good idea last night. In order to cooperate with you, I gave that stinky Taoist priest Tianxu a ride. Haha, speaking of it, are you frightened?" , that stinky Taoist priest really has some skills, and he can tell that you are pretending."

Lan Kexin was ashamed and annoyed. At that time, she was indeed frightened. Although her face was dull, her hands were covered with cold sweat. From the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Daoist Tianxu falling down, and secretly said, "God help me!" Also", unexpectedly, it was the woman in front of me who came to help.

Seeing that her eyes were flickering, Xiaoli continued: "You just need to do what I say, I promise, your brother Ye will become yours sooner or later. In order to help you, I will not let the real Taoist people approach you."

Lan Kexin felt relieved, "Then what do you want from me?"

"I will get what I want," Xiaoli said very conceitedly, "you just need to do your job well. The City Lord's Mansion is heavily guarded, and it is not easy for me to come in. Now there is not much time left, you hurry up Tell me if you have any way for people to pass the news out."

"Yes," Lan Kexin said without hesitation, "every two days, I will ask my maid Qiongzhi to go out, you can go to her directly, she dare not disobey."
