The Devil's Coming [Quick Transmigration]

"Master Mingjin, are you okay?"

When no one came to Xu Mingjin's room, the woman still had a food box in her hand. She took out the hot snacks in the food box and looked at Xu Mingjin with undisguised concern in her eyes.

"I saw that the young master didn't eat much today and only drank some soup, so I made some snacks in the kitchen of the inn. You might as well rest your stomach."

In the surging light, the woman looked up at Xu Mingjin, revealing a familiar and beautiful face, it was Lan Xin.

After failing to defend Xu Mingjin in the county government, Lan Xin reflected on her impulse. Therefore, she never took the initiative to inquire about Xu Mingjin, nor did she take the initiative to talk to him. She maintained a stranger relationship with this man.

But Lan Xin is not without eyes and ears.

She didn't know why Su Ying often went to Xu Mingjin, but in the motorcade, when everyone talked about the former prince, their voices became worse and worse, but she could hear it.

"How can a fake put on such a high pedestal?" "If he hadn't been worried about his physical discomfort and being bored in the car all day long, how would the prince go to accompany him every day?" "I think he doesn't look very happy. He must have some feelings for the prince. Be angry." "It's his luck to meet such an open-minded person as the prince."

——The maidservants often say this when discussing privately.

Lan Xin often wanted to tell the difference for him, but she was worried that her behavior would arouse suspicion, so she could only listen silently.

She wanted to talk to Su Ying, hoping that he would restrain those servants who gossiped behind his back, and speak good words about Xu Mingjin in Su Ying's ears without any trace, so as to help Xu Mingjin continue to gain a foothold in the Duke's Mansion.

——If it were Li Lang in the past, he would be able to listen to more or less what Aunt Lan Xin, an elder, said.

Su Ying is different.

Whenever she got close to Su Ying, this person was either concerned about whether she had taken good care of the pigs, or asked her what happened on the night when the two were born sixteen years ago, and kept asking Lan Xin about some details. Details, seems to want to know the reason why the two hugged each other wrongly, how could Lan Xin, who was already guilty, dare to get close to him?

What's more, she wanted to subtly gain Xu Mingjin's favor in front of Su Ying. She tried it once and found that the maids and attendants in the team were blocking her intentionally or unintentionally. She even accidentally discovered that Xu Mingyu looked at her in the wrong way.

This young man, who is only one year older than his cousin but often works for the Duke's government, is far more thoughtful and perceptive than his peers. He may not know what Lan Xin said in front of his cousin, but just because the younger cousin identified Xu Mingjin as a kidnapper because the woman said "kidnappers always like to deceive people in the name of family recognition", he knew that this woman was right. The influence of my little cousin. How could she continue to exert influence over her cousin without investigating whether this person had malicious intentions?

How could they, the eldest son of the Duke of Wei, be at the mercy of others?

As a result, Lan Xin was unable to do anything along the way. Apart from feeding the pigs, she could only listen to gossip.

Seeing that Xu Mingjin fell ill with a fever this time, the maid who arranged to take care of him went to hide out somewhere after feeding him the soup. The two brothers Xu Mingyu even went out to hunt in the nearby woods and took away a group of guards, leaving Xu Mingjin alone. Lying alone in the room of the inn, Lan Xin, who was so neglectful to him, could not bear it any longer as she secretly paid attention to him.

She observed secretly and slipped in when no one was around.

Lan Xin came to Xu Mingjin with cakes in her hands.

The sweet aroma of pastries surged through her nose, and Xu Mingjin couldn't help but feel her throat tremble slightly after drinking the bitter concoction. But instead of picking up the cakes, he sat up, looked straight at the woman who suddenly came out, and frowned: "Get out!"

His expression clearly showed the displeasure of being offended, and there was only undisguised defense and vigilance in his eyes.

"——Who allowed you to break in without permission?!"

Lan Xin was frightened by him, and the pastry in her hand rolled to the ground. There was a bit of astonishment in her eyes.

"I, I'm here to see you, young master..."

She spoke cautiously, but she was interrupted by Xu Mingjin only halfway through her words. A smile appeared on his lips and his tone became gentle: "If I remember correctly, your name is Lan Xin, right? I call you aunt. I will take you back to the capital with me. I will consider you as his guest, and therefore as a guest of the Duke's Mansion... Is it the etiquette of being a guest to break into the master's room without permission? "

"No, how dare I call myself a guest of the Duke's Mansion." Lan Xin shook her head hurriedly. She stared into Xu Mingjin's eyes as if she was worried about being misunderstood by Xu Mingjin, "Young Master Mingjin doesn't know something, but I was once your Mother’s personal maid...I’m not talking about the Duke’s wife, I’m talking about your own mother——”

"That's enough." Xu Mingjin's groggy brain was buzzing, and his face suddenly darkened, "I don't want to know this, and I don't want to know whose maid you are. My mother is the wife of Wei Guogong, she was in the past, she is now, and she will be in the future. Too."

Lan Xin looked at him in disbelief.

However, Xu Mingjin's face, which was pale due to illness, showed a pitiful frailty. Thinking that he had been the high-ranking prince of the prince for more than ten years, it is understandable that he suddenly learned the truth and found it difficult to accept. What's more, he was still ill and was ignored by the servants of the prince's palace. It was not easy for Lan Xin... She comforted herself skillfully and looked at him with loving eyes: "I'm sorry, I have no other intention. I just came to see Mr. Mingjin on behalf of the young lady. I hope that the young master will take good care of his health. The young lady must hope that you live well... "

The information revealed in her voice made Xu Mingjin feel more and more uneasy. If what happened back then was really just an accident, why would this woman protect him and care about him so much? Did she really know something she shouldn't know, or even played a role in it sixteen years ago...?

No, calm down, that's definitely not the case.

Everything was an accident.

——This woman has taken care of "Li Lang" for so many years, and she must have a deep relationship with "Li Lang". Maybe she was acting according to the other party's instructions from the beginning. This must be another conspiracy of "Li Lang". He wanted this woman to deliberately frame him and accuse him of not being an accident. If he fell for it, he would definitely step into the other party's trap!

——Yes, it was "Li Lang's" frame-up! There was no special inside story at all. It was just an accident sixteen years ago!

As if he had finally convinced himself by repeatedly hypnotizing himself, Xu Mingjin, who had successfully covered his ears and stole the bell, looked at the person in front of him, and he showed a gentle and helpless smile: "...Thank you for your concern, but you also see my current situation. Maybe it would be better for me if you don't contact me, if you really want to do it for my own good."

"Didn't you say that my mother also hopes that I can live a good life?"

Lan Xin was convinced by him, and she felt guilty: "Don't worry, Master Mingjin, I won't make things difficult for you in the future."

"By the way, I'm very curious about what happened back then." Xu Mingjin spoke to her a few more words in a kind way, and accompanied Lan Xin in reminiscing After hearing the voice and smile of his deceased adopted mother, the atmosphere became warmer. He then asked casually, "Who else knows my life story besides you? The midwife who delivered me back then..."

Lan Xin wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes because of the memory of the deceased lady, and then she said, "Don't worry, Master Mingjin. I was the only one watching when the two children were exchanged."

Lan Xin hurriedly comforted him as if she knew what Xu Mingjin was worried about, "Master, don't worry. Now I am the only one who knows about this matter. Even the Duke's Mansion can't find any clues."

"...So that's it."

Xu Mingjin smiled without comment.

When Lan Xin lowered her head to wipe her tears, she didn't see the person on the bed casting a faint gaze at her. At this moment, she smiled with tears in her eyes: "Seeing you grow up safely and become a handsome young man, the young lady's spirit in heaven must be very pleased."

As she said this, she reached into her sleeve: "Actually, I came here to give the young lady's relics to the young master..."

Xu Mingjin asked curiously: "What is it?"

He was lying on the bed with a sick look, looking weak and powerless, and could only wave his hand to signal Lan Xin to come closer.

Lan Xin hurried to the bedside: "It's a jade pendant left by the young lady. With this jade pendant, you can go to the bookstore in Wuling Lane, Shangjing. That is the property left by the young lady for you..."

"A small bookstore? I don't want it."

Xu Mingjin showed a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, laughing at her serious attitude, but it turned out to be just a store.

"——The little things that slipped out of the fingers of the Duke of Wei's Mansion are enough to buy hundreds of bookstores."

"Young master?" Lan Xin was stunned by his sudden change of attitude.

The next second, the young man grabbed her with his left hand, suddenly turned over and sat up from the bed, and swung the vase beside the bed with his right hand and swung it high.

The vase hit Lan Xin's head heavily, and she was pressed to the ground by the young man who fell from the bed.

She only had time to let out a short scream.

In her terrified eyes, the young man's particularly cold and ferocious face was reflected.

Bang! Bang bang bang bang!

The continuous collision sounded wildly.

The young man sitting on the woman looked like a madman, as if he was repeatedly hitting a wooden fish, and his hands were hitting tirelessly, and blood splashed on his face and clothes.

Until the person under him no longer had a breath, he seemed to finally come back to his senses and stared at the person on the ground in a daze.

"Don't blame me..."

Xu Mingjin panted violently, and he spoke in a low voice, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was talking to the person on the ground.

"You also hope that I will live well, right?"
