After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power
Chapter 189 Weakness
Jiang Xue Ning quickly received the reminder from Zhongqiu.
Jiang Li was a little worried. "I have studied Xiao Linfeng's style of doing things. He is very good at planning little by little, playing with the enemy in the palm of his hand, and then closing the net and torturing him slowly."
Jiang Xue Ning said softly, "Counting the days, Bing Tong should be back."
Not long after they arrived in Beijing from Qingzhou, Bingtong disappeared silently in Shengjing, and no one knew where she had gone except Jiang Xue Ning.
Jiang Li asked curiously, "What did you ask her to do?"
"Let her go find someone, someone very important."
In her previous life, she was defeated in the web they carefully woven. Since then, her greatest advantage has been that she also knows many of their secrets that are unknown to outsiders.
From the first day she arrived in Beijing, she knew that sooner or later she would face off against the Xiao family and Xiao Linfeng, so of course she had made some plans.
"I have some guesses in my mind, but I have to wait for Bingtong to come back to verify them."
Jiang Li was still worried and couldn't help but sigh, "Other people are happy when they get married, but you seem to be fighting to the death."
"Don't worry, if unfortunately the wedding turns into a funeral, it can only be his, Xiao Linfeng's, funeral!"
Three days later, a new cook came to the mansion, who was very good at cooking fish.
Jiang Xue Ning was even satisfied after eating it and summoned her to give a reward.
Qinghe brought the cook into the study, closed the door himself, and stood guard at the door.
The cook was wearing a cotton dress and a green scarf on her head. She looked plain and ordinary.
She bowed her head and greeted, "This servant greets the princess."
Jiang Xue Ning said softly, "Raise your head."
The cook looked up and saw an ordinary face that was nothing like the one she remembered.
She tilted her head and stared at her, then spoke slowly, "As expected of the Xiao Mansion's former top secret guard, your camouflage ability is as strong as ever."
With such a face and such a temperament, he would be completely inconspicuous in the crowd, the so-called great recluse hiding in the city.
The cook smiled bitterly, "But you still found me. How did you know I would be in Taoyuan Town?"
Jiang Xue Ning avoided answering this question and just said softly, "Xinyi, I finally found you."
Xinyi was nominally Xiao Linfeng's head maid and concubine, but in reality she was the head of his secret guards. She had followed him since childhood and was therefore very loyal to him.
When she was still Gu Mingyue, she was familiar with her. She even jokingly called her "little sister-in-law."
Because at that time Xiao Linfeng was not the King of Wei, and did not have that much say in the Xiao family. When he reached the age to get married, he frequently had conflicts with his family because of marriage.
At that time, everyone thought that he had feelings for "Xinyi", so he didn't want to marry a noble lady, and he did show that he loved Xinyi very much.
Xinyi stared straight into her eyes and said in an obscure tone, "I thought it was Princess Chen who came, but I didn't expect it was you."
When she was drunk, she mentioned to Princess Chen that if possible, she would like to find a place called "Taoyuan Realm", which was her birthplace. Even Xiao Linfeng didn't know this.
Jiang Xue Ning asked curiously, "Why didn't you continue to be with Xiao Linfeng, but chose to escape?"
And Xiao Linfeng has been looking for her, but he just couldn't find her.
Xinyi lowered her eyes, "Because I have someone I want to protect."
Xinyi was very wary of her, and she did not return to Beijing voluntarily but was forced by Xuetong, so she did not reveal much information she wanted.
Jiang Xue Ning was not in a hurry. After all, the person was back and she could slowly get the words out.
Bingtong came after nightfall. Her powerful illusion could avoid all the eyes watching outside the palace.
After entering the study, she took off her veil to reveal her long snow-white hair, still looking cold.
Jiang Xue Ning poured her a cup of hot tea, "Warm yourself up."
Bing Tong took it and took a sip. "The Peach Blossom Land is hidden in a valley. It is outside of Xiling Territory. Few outsiders go there. It is like a real paradise."
She spent a lot of effort to find the relevant clues. In the end, because she knew illusion, she was able to see through the maze in the mountain and get in smoothly.
Bingtong spread out her palm, where there was a shallow scar that had already healed.
"She is very powerful. I almost died under her sword."
Fortunately, at the critical moment, she used the magic array set up by the peach blossoms all over the mountain to subdue her.
Jiang Xue Ning naturally knew that to become a top secret guard, both state of mind and martial arts were indispensable. Such people were the most difficult to catch, so she sent Bing Tong.
"How did you convince her to go back to Beijing with you?"
Bingtong said, "She has a daughter, about four or five years old. She was afraid that I would hurt her daughter, so she came with me."
Calculating the time, according to what she found out, Xinyi should have been pregnant when she defected from the Xiao family.
Could it be that she was Xiao Linfeng's daughter? Then she shouldn't have run away. It seemed that Xiao Linfeng had only her as his side before. It was only after she left that his temperament became strange. With those bad rumors, he seemed to have lost interest in women.
Bing Tong continued, "I promised her that I would never reveal the existence of that girl to Xiao Linfeng. Otherwise, even if we both die, she will never let me go."
"Then do you think that girl looks like Xiao Linfeng?"
"...I have never met Xiao Linfeng"
"I'll find time and take you to see him."
Bingtong showed no interest and said she was tired and wanted to rest.
Jiang Xue Ning personally accompanied her to choose a courtyard she liked, and watched her set up illusions in the courtyard, making it difficult for outsiders to spy on what was going on in the courtyard.
The concubine on the left was holding a hand warmer and watching the fun from the side.
"Tsk tsk, that white hair is so beautiful, and the whole person is so beautiful, and so powerful."
Jiang Xue Ning stood side by side with her and asked, "Under what circumstances would a woman run away while pregnant?"
"The point is, running away from who?"
"Of course, by the side of the man she loves."
Zuo Yifei chuckled, "Either the man doesn't want to take responsibility and doesn't want a child. Or the child is not that man's."
Jiang Xue Ning nodded, "I suspect so too."
And considering Xiao Linfeng's vicious character, she felt it was most likely the former.
But there are still many things that don't make sense. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. It doesn't make sense for Xiao Linfeng to attack Xin Yi who is pregnant.
Something must have happened back then that she didn't know about, and as Xiao Linfeng's bedmate, Xinyi could be said to be the person who knew him best.
What she had to do now was to find a way to pry open Xinyi's mouth, and it would be best if she could learn Xiao Linfeng's weakness from her.
If you can outsmart someone, try not to go head-on. After all, the Xiao family is so powerful now that Helian Xuan doesn't dare to act rashly.
If she forces it, she will definitely be at a disadvantage.
Seeing her frown, Zuo Yifei couldn't help but say, "Go to bed early, put away your worries and relax."
