The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 87

After having breakfast, Qingyan took Zizhu alone with her to head to Julong Zhai. However, at first, when the people of Julong Zhai saw her, there was a bit of difficulties. But once she took out the command plaque, she was immediately escorted by the shopkeeper to the private room where Murong Jingxuan frequented.

And when she thought of the earlier troubles, she didn't know how the situation would play out in Murong Jingxuan's eyes.

When Murong Jingxuan saw Qingyan, he just happened to be drinking tea, and sitting next to him was precisely Xiu Ran, who she met at the talent conference.

"Next time, you don't need to appear here anymore." Murong Jingxuan looked to the shopkeeper and coldly raised his voice. Just when the shopkeeper wanted to explain, Murong Jingxuan still coldly retorted, "Get lost."

The shopkeeper wouldn't dare to go against Murong Jingxuan. Furthermore, if he had known Su Qingyan was Murong Jingxuan's person, he would have never let something like that happen.

"Yan'er, this is Xiu Ran, you've met before." Murong Jingxuan looked to Qingyan with a smile, "He's Nanchen's political hostage. Regarding matters of Nanchen, he also knows about to some extent."

Qingyan looked to Xiu Ran with a smile and nodded, "Hello, I'm Su Qingyan."

When Xiu Ran saw Qingyan, he still immediately matched her image with Qilian Qingyan, but he knew that the girl before him wasn't Qilian Qingyan.

"Didn't you say you wanted to know about the Ning family secrets?" Qingyan looked to Xiu Ran smiling.

Murong Jingxuan naturally understood what Qingyan meant by this. This meant she simply didn't trust Xiu Ran's character. Seeing Qingyan slightly frowning, Jingxuan reluctantly spoke, "Yan'er, Xiu Ran is on my side, you don't need to worry."

Qingyan smiled and looked to Xiu Ran. Even if he was someone who she once saved, at the moment, her eyes were full of detachment. She didn't believe in anyone.

She didn't believe in anyone other than Murong Jingxuan, particularly the mysterious and unpredictable Xiu Ran. Xiu Ran wasn't as simple as he looked on the surface. Back then, when she'd saved him, Yaochi also once commented this to her. But in the end, regarding Xiu Ran's background, she had yet to find anything.

Xiu Ran's character, she couldn't be more understanding of, but as the reborn Qilian Qingyan, she still was unwilling to trust anyone.

"Murong Jingxuan, that's your problem. If you don't want to know about the Ning family secrets, I'll just leave right now." Qingyan didn't look to see Xiu Ran's expression; she directly stood up to leave.

Before Murong Jingxuan could even say a word, Qingyan had already disappeared before his eyes.

He understood in his mind that Qingyan's behavior today was a bit unusual. But just exactly where, he couldn't quite put the words to it. Qingyan didn't trust Xiu Ran, that was definitely reasonable, but why did she display it so obviously today?

There were too many people by Murong Jingxuan's side. Even someone like Fengqing, she was willing to trust, yet why was she unwilling to trust Xiu Ran? Regarding information about Xiu Ran, it's not like he didn't investigate before. But what he found out were all things that were worthy of trust. Qingyan's behavior was clearly showing that she didn't trust Xiu Ran.

But just where did it go wrong?

"Jingxuan, that girl seems to not trust me." Xiu Ran looked to Murong Jingxuan with a calm look, "I really shouldn't have come."
