On the surface, Lian Sheng was clueless about being kidnapped, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, you will roughly know what is going on.

There are only two people with the ability and the reason to rob her.

The first one is Xiang Han. Xiang Han had previously had the idea of ​​Yi Huan, and it was not impossible to do it again. However, after Yi Qiancheng carefully asked about the situation at that time, he ruled out the possibility of Xiang Han.

The people who robbed Lian Sheng sent people to Yi Huan's yard. The group of people obviously did not aim to take Yi Huan away, but just dealt with each other and dispersed the troops of the city lord's mansion. Their real purpose was Lian Sheng.

The second one is Lian Qi, the good brother Lian Sheng.

Liang Zhen betrayed the Lord of Liancheng and brought the letter to him. Lian Qi must have guessed that he knew Fang Mu's death at this moment, Yingdong could not be related. He was afraid that something might happen to Lian Sheng, so he took Lian Sheng away.

If it was Lian Qi... Did Lian Sheng leave with him voluntarily? Yi Qiancheng pursed his lips and his eyes were as cold as a star. Whether it was or not, he would know if he asked her personally.

After thinking it through, Yi Qiancheng took people to Yingdong.

Many days after Lian Sheng returned to Yingdong, Lian Qi bought a house for her in the city. Lian Sheng was unwilling to go back to the city lord's mansion, so she lived in the house. She was eager to find out the cause of Fang Mu's death and went to the place where Fang Mu died in the suburbs of the city to see.

The brown soil shows the tragic past, and the body has been dealt with. Lian Sheng asked about Lord Lian Qi Fang's body. Lian Qi was silent for a long time, and Fang said to her: "There are so many days since the incident, and Fang Mu's body is hard to find. A Sheng, let's erect a monument for him here."

Lian Sheng shook his head and clenched his clothes: "This is Yingdong. Lord Fang will not think that the corpse will be here forever. He must want to return to sea buckthorn."

Hearing the words "Seabuckthorn", Lian Qi's eyes dimmed and turned into ordinary things in a flash. He comforted him: "I'm tired for a day, let's go back first, and leave it to my brother."

Lian Sheng was really tired, and he heard this and returned to the house and waited for Lian Qi's news.

She didn't return to the city lord's mansion and didn't know the reason, but Lian Qi knew clearly that this was undoubtedly a joint effort between her father and Liang Zhen. Her father was eager to please Liang Zhen, and even married Lian Sitian to the imperial city.

Lian Qi secretly hated his father for being confused. It was the same thing that ignored Lian Sheng's life and death. He saw Liang Zhen's sincerity. If the imperial city did not accept Yingdong, Yingdong would become the abandoned son of both sides. He worked so hard to protect Yingdong from being trampled by the Western Qiang people, and almost buried himself with Yingdong. Now things are in a complicated way and almost failed.

No matter how angry Lian Qi was, he knew that there was no room for recovery for this matter. He grew up with the support of this city and could not watch Yi Qiancheng destroy the city. What's ridiculous is that the last road left could only join forces with Liang Zhen to fight Yi Qiancheng.

He brought Lian Sheng back, but he would not let Lian Sheng know the reason for Fang Mu's death. The servants in the house kept silent and only made the girl happy on weekdays.

Even Sheng had inquired about the current situation in Yingdong, and several maids shook their heads and said they were unaware. She was vaguely strange in her heart. Her brother seemed to dislike her going out recently. When he asked, he explained: "After Lord Fang died, the city is uneasy. A Sheng stayed in the mansion. Brother would notify you if there was any news."

Lian Qi drafted a letter and ordered someone to hand it over to His Majesty Liang Zhen. His face dispersed solemnly and ordered someone to take back the hairpin he had specially beaten not long ago.

Lian Sheng held the hand stove, and the sky was gray, which made people feel a little depressed. The maid behind him was frightened when she saw that her master was not very happy, for fear that the young master would get angry when she saw it.

Before the maid could think of the words to coax the master, she saw a man in a sky-blue dress coming outside the corridor. She quickly fell silent and quietly retreated.

Lian Sheng heard the movement behind her, and when he looked back, he saw his brother Lian Qi. He had a blue jade crown and a slightly cool look. When he saw her turn, his indifference disappeared, and replaced by gentleness.

Lian Sheng smiled and couldn't help asking him: "Is there any news from brother?"

Lian Qi paused and shook his head as if nothing had happened: "No." Lian Sheng concealed the disappointment in his eyes, Lian Qi walked to her side and glanced at the gray sky.

"It's cold outside, go to the house, my brother has brought you something."

Lian Sheng entered the room as he said, and Lian Qi handed her an exquisite box carved with pear blossoms. Lian Sheng opened it and a phoenix hairpin embedded with rubies lay inside. It looked like it was a valuable thing.

It looks good, but what does my brother give her this? In the past, my brother always gave her some rare gadgets or exquisite food, but it was the first time I gave her jewelry.

She looked over with bright eyes, Lian Qi explained: "You hurried back to Yingdong, but didn't even bring any clothes and jewelry. When you happened to see this, you thought it was quite suitable for A Sheng, so you bought it." He did not mention that this hairpin was deliberately ordered to be beaten.

After all, he was his biological brother. Lian Sheng thanked him softly and planned to keep it in check. After seeing Lian Qi pursing his lips and looking at her without saying a word.

"elder brother?"

"You don't like it?"

Lian Sheng felt that his brother had a weird look. The hairpin was beautiful and expensive, so she naturally liked it. Seeing her rejection, Lian Qi relaxed his expression and asked again, "Then why not bring it?"

Lian Qi was too persistent in this matter. Lian Sheng had no choice but to let his brother be disappointed, so he opened the box and inserted it into his hair bun. Lian Qi looked at her for a moment, walked past and stroked her hair.

"It's crooked." He reached out, took out the hairpin and put it on for her again. Lian Sheng could only see his smooth chin, and could not see what his expression was.

Lian Sheng thought about it for several days and finally decided to go back to the city lord's mansion. "Brother, I want to go back to the mansion and ask my father what happened. I still feel that someone instigated my father to kill Lord Fang." Lian Qi's eyes were soft for a moment when he heard this.

"Don't A Sheng trust my brother?"

Lian Sheng shook her head. Of course she believed Lian Qi, but she had no clue for so many days, and she didn't know what the situation was like after she was taken away. She wanted to go and see it in person so that she could feel more at ease.

Once you panic, the lies that followed will be natural. Lian Qi said: "I didn't ask my father anything. He didn't want to say that it would be useless if you went. Besides, you are not suitable to go back to the City Lord's Mansion now. My father has offended Yi Qiancheng. Since the first time he did not care about your safety, there will be a second time. Your identity is still Yi Qiancheng's wife. After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, you may never be able to get out."

He carefully observed Lian Sheng's expression and showed no sadness towards her father's ruthlessness. Lian Sheng was indeed no longer sad. People's hearts would hurt, but they would become numb over time. When she was a child, she would still long for her father to be as kind as the fathers of other children, but what she waited for was getting more and more distant. Her father gave up on her repeatedly, and she would not be sad anymore after she was sad.

But in the past, Lian Qi would be afraid that she would be sad, so she didn't tell the matter clearly, but this time she actually pointed it out, as if she no longer cared about whether there was a father-daughter relationship between her and her father. She thought about Lian Qi's words carefully, and he made sense. Since his father could make up his mind to kill Fang Mu, he would have the heart to attack her again.

Lian Sheng agreed with Lian Qi's words and would not return to the city lord's mansion.

She always felt awkward and weird in the current situation. Lian Qi set up a house for her and ordered the maid to talk to her. She didn't like her going out, but she would bring various gifts every time she came. Lian Sheng didn't like this. She couldn't go out at sea buckthorn before, and the situation seemed not much better when she arrived in Yingdong.

A few days later, Lian Sheng suggested that he wanted to go out for a walk. The maid's face changed and she hurriedly said, "Girl, it's windy outside and it's not stable. Why don't you just go around the yard."

Lian Sheng frowned: "Are you the master or I the master?" She realized something was wrong, and the people in the mansion didn't seem to want her to go out.

The little maid turned pale and she didn't dare to respond. A gentle voice came from behind: "A Sheng, who made you angry?"

"Brother, I'm not angry, I just want to go out for a walk." Although the city lord's mansion could not go, there were still people who had served her for many years inside, so it was okay to find someone to ask a few questions.

"I have nothing to do today, I'll accompany you." Lian Qi's face had no extra emotion and ordered someone to prepare the sedan chair. The things were ready. The gatekeeper hurried in and whispered to Lian Qi: "...Young Master, something happened in the city lord's mansion."

His voice was low, and Lian Sheng could only vaguely hear two words about something wrong. After listening to it, Lian Qi's expression remained unchanged and said to Lian Sheng: "Something happened, brother, can you accompany you some other day?"

Lian Sheng hurriedly said, "I can go out alone."

Lian Qi's eyes were as bright as ink, and he ordered lightly: "Protect the girl." Someone behind him whispered. Lian Qi went out the door, and the little maid tied it up for Lian Sheng and asked her, "Girl, are you leaving now?"

Lian Sheng nodded and took the people out. The guards behind him gave a wink, and the crowd quietly hid behind Lian Sheng.

Lian Qi's heart was not as calm as he was. There was something wrong with the city lord's mansion. The doorman was vague in his paintings, and the person who only said that the sea buckthorn appeared in the city lord's mansion. When he went back to see two corpses on the ground, Lian Qi looked at his father with inquiring eyes.

The city lord was filled with sorrow, looking at the two corpses in black on the ground, and said, "Those who sneaked into the mansion last night were all dead guards who were poisoned and committed suicide after they were discovered." In other words, they didn't ask anything.

"It must be someone from Sea Buckthorn. Last time, Your Majesty did not deal with Fang Mu's people. Yi Qiancheng must have known that I had something to do with Fang Mu's death, so he sent someone to the mansion to kill him as his father."

Lian Qi pondered without saying anything, and he couldn't see anything on the corpse on the ground. If he guessed, he was also inclined to be the one from the sea buckthorn. But the purpose of this group of people might not be what his father said, to assassinate him to avenge Fang Mu. It is very likely that they were for Lian Sheng.

He did not tell the Lord Lian about the speculation. No one except his own guards knew where Lian Sheng was. Lian Qi only said that the sea buckthorn was strictly guarded, and his people could not enter, and he was worried about Yingdong's safety, so he rushed back again. Lord Lian was half-believing, but his eldest son was the backbone after all, and it was a good thing for him to come back at this time, so he did not go into it.

Lian Qi asked his father to strengthen the garrison in the mansion, and went to the study himself. The subordinate whispered: "Young master, the girl went out of the alley, went to a restaurant, bribed several little beggars, and asked them to stay not far from the city lord's mansion, and described to them the appearance of the maid who served her in the yard before. When they bought it, they asked the little beggar to hand her a letter to see her."

Lian Qi's eyes turned cold, and A Sheng really wanted to investigate this matter by himself.

"Let her go, bribe an old woman in her yard, tell her about the city lord's mansion, don't make her suspicious." But he had the final say about what happened in the city lord's mansion.

Liang Zhen replied to the letter and expressed his willingness to cooperate and was extremely happy. After reading it, Lian Qi burned the letter. He had no favoritism for Liang Zhen, but in terms of military strength, he was not as good as Yi Qiancheng. Lian Qi guessed that Liang Zhen's troops plus Yingdong's were not as good as Yi Qiancheng. But Huanshui would not be able to get involved again.

No matter how powerful Yi Qiancheng is, it will not be better than the three cities joining forces. He is the eldest son of Lian's family. He cannot ignore Yingdong, who has been guarding for generations, but he can no longer tolerate Lian Sheng staying next to Yi Qiancheng. Thinking that Yi Qiancheng had done something to her, her body belongs to another man, and now his heart is slowly leaning over. A fire burned in his heart. The original ice melted, but it became a prairie fire.

He wants to keep his sister, and Yingdong wants to keep it too.

He would try not to get along with her as his brother, and wait until the time comes before telling her about Aunt Yu'e. If she knew that she was not the daughter of the Lian family, would she accept herself?

No hurry, even if there is someone coming to Yingdong, as long as it is not Yi Qiancheng, he can always find a solution to it. Yi Qiancheng is still closed at this moment, and when he comes, he has already deployed everything.

...

Lian Sheng finally had some clues about what he was going to do. Now she just waited for the little beggars to report the news. She was in a better mood and did not ask to go out in the next few days.

The maids breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the girl would go to trouble again. The weather was getting colder and colder, and Lian Sheng's habit of taking naps still did not change. He slept into the warm quilt in the middle of winter, which was very comfortable. She had just fallen asleep, and her consciousness was hazy, but her chin was itchy. She reached out to scratch her hands, and her little hand was grabbed. Lian Sheng was shocked and opened her eyes.

The man's eyes were like a deep pool, looking at her expressionlessly. Because of sleepiness, there was a little tears in the corner of her eyes, her skin was white and tender, and he had just pressed a mark on her chin, looking delicate.

Lian Sheng thought he was dreaming, with thin lips, starry eyes, sharp eyebrows and eyes, his eyes were falling on him. How could Yi Qiancheng come here?

The coldness on his body was stained with outside, and when he was so close, it all came to her. What's more, he pressed her hands tightly, his skin touched each other, and the cold feeling told her that she was not dreaming.

She called out to her husband in a daze. Her voice was like a mosquito, but it broke the expression on his face.

"You're having a good time."
