The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 88

Listening to Murong Jingxuan's words, Qingyan shook her head, "Jingxuan, can you recognize Xiu Ran's handwriting?" Qingyan thought back to container she took from the secret chamber last night. When she looked to him, she had a serious look.

Murong Jingxuan looked to her and nodded his head, "Naturally I can recognize it."

"Alright, I'll let you have a look at the thing I obtained last night." As she said this, Qingyan brought out a sealed case from her cupboard. Qingyan opened the case, and inside were all encrypted letters.

"Where did you get these?" Murong Jingxuan saw the handwriting and couldn't help to clench his fist.

"That, I'll tell you in a moment. Didn't you say just now you could recognize Xiu Ran's handwriting?" Qingyan took out an envelope and after opening it, placed it before him, "So is this Xiu Ran's handwriting?"

Seeing that determined look of hers, he could only nod, "That's right, this is precisely Xiu Ran's handwriting."

Qingyan looked to him and smiled, "As I'd expected, Xiu Ran really is someone from the Ning family."

Murong Jingxuan still had a confused look; just how did Qingyan find out Xiu Ran was someone from the Ning family, "Yan'er, is this the reason why you don't trust Xiu Ran?"

Qingyan shook her head, "Let me take you to a place." With that said, she lit a candle, went behind the bookcase, and pushed a button. Afterwards, she brought Murong Jingxuan into the secret chamber.

Murong Jingxuan never thought that Qingyan would also have a secret chamber like this in her room. Just when he wanted to say something, Qingyan covered his mouth and whispered into his ear, "Follow me, don't say anything, and conceal your breathing."

Murong Jingxuan held onto her hand and nodded at her. By the time they arrived at the stone statue, that voice could already be heard. "You say the Su fourth miss knows our Ning family secret?"

When Murong Jingxuan heard this voice, his eyes instinctively widened, because this was precisely Xiu Ran's voice. However, the only good thing about Xiu Ran was that he didn't know martial arts, so he won't be able to detect their presence in the distance.

"Impossible, I've looked into that Su fourth miss's background, she shouldn't know." Another voice sounded. "Master, what should we do now?"

Xiu Ran spoke while pondering, "In the beginning, if it wasn't for that foolish woman sending me to Donghe, how would I have this status now. However, this Su fourth miss is worth toying with."

"Master, this Su fourth miss seems to only have two servant girls that knows martial art by her side. How about we..." His intentions were obvious, he wanted to kill Qingyan.

However, at the moment, Xiu Ran wasn't thinking of such, "Su Yun will arrive back at the capital soon. On his way back to the capital, do whatever you can to lure him into the Forest of Buried Souls. When the time comes, we'll give Su Qingyan a big surprise; she'll naturally be very satisfied."

"But what if Su Qingyan ruins her Highness the Empress's plans, wouldn't our work just go to waste?"

"In any case, our Ning family serves her Highness, if when the time comes we can make his Highness Minjun become the Crown Prince, I'm sure she'll be satisfied as well." Xiu Ran's cold voice sounded, "Furthermore, I still want to see Su Qingyan on her knees begging for mercy. If we can toy with her, perhaps it's not so bad either."

If it wasn't for Qingyan holding back Murong Jingxuan the whole time, she knew, with his temper, he would have charged out and killed Xiu Ran. But right now, that wasn't a rational decision. In the end, she could only forcibly pull Murong Jingxuan out of the secret chamber.

"As expected, Xiu Ran isn't like how he seems on the surface. To think you'd have a day like this, Murong Jingxuan." Qingyan rolled her eyes at him as she said this.
