Sang Yue reminded her from the side: "Arong is Elder Lan's daughter. She left southern Xinjiang twenty years ago and never came back."
She couldn't help but take another look at Qu Le and murmured in a low voice: "I always thought you looked familiar before, but I couldn't remember where I had seen you. It turns out that you look similar to A Rong. I finally figured it out.
Already."
On the way to southern Xinjiang on the horse team's carriage, the main reason why Sang Yue was willing to get close to Qu Le and was willing to help her again and again was that she thought she looked familiar, and subconsciously felt that she was not a bad person and was willing to help her.
.
Qu Le secretly touched her cheek. Do she really look similar to the woman named A Rong? If this is the case, maybe she is really A Rong's daughter. Even if she is not a daughter, she may be someone else.
Some kind of blood relative. Anyway, no matter what kind of relative she is, as long as she has this blood relationship, the Lan family will not care about her life or death. In this way, her goal will be achieved.
Hehe, it turns out that I don’t need to take off my clothes to reveal the butterfly mark. I can pass the test just with this face. God helps me!
Qu Le briefly recounted her experience of escaping from Wushuang City. Of course, she intentionally or unintentionally omitted some details about Xiao Feng.
After listening to her narration, Elder Lan said with deep eyes: "Do you still have a sister staying in the palace in Wushuang City?"
The joy was suddenly extinguished. Qu Le lowered her head and felt very uneasy. She was very worried about Su Yi's situation in the palace. Before leaving the palace, she had suggested that Su Yi leave together, but Su Yi refused.
Su Yi is different from her. Su Yi is not only a well-known concubine, but also the biological mother-concubine of the twenty-first prince. If Su Yi runs away, what will the twenty-first prince do? Mother and son are connected, and Su Yi will never
He would abandon his son and leave alone. As for leaving with the twenty-one princes, that is even more impossible. It doesn't matter if one or two concubines run away, but if one prince runs away, it will definitely cause an uproar. By then, the three of them will
No one can escape, which is the main reason why Su Yi is determined not to leave.
Now that Qu Le has run out, she is not sure whether her little tricks can be hidden from Xiao Feng. If not, will he be angry with Su Yi and her son?
If Suyi's mother and son were really hurt because of her, even if she was freed, she would still live with guilt and self-blame for the rest of her life.
Noticing Qu Le's dejected look, Elder Lan couldn't bear it and gently touched her hair: "After the Eve Festival is over, I will send people to Wushuang City to find out the news about Su Yi and her son. You don't have to worry too much.
I will tell you if anything happens."
Qu Le nodded: "Thank you, Elder Lan."
"According to seniority, you should call me grandpa."
Qu Le raised her head and saw him looking at her with a smile. She thought that this old man was old enough to be her elder, so it would not be a disadvantage to call him grandpa. She called him out loud: "Grandpa!"
Elder Lan immediately smiled more kindly, groped for a long time in his sleeves, and finally took out a necklace polished from the bones of an unknown animal, and put it into Qu Le's hand: "My good granddaughter, this is grandpa.
Please accept the meeting gift I gave you."
It's a gift from an elder and cannot be said without. Qu Le took the necklace with both hands and put it on his neck in front of Elder Lan. He raised his head and smiled and said, "Thank you, grandpa."
There are many smooth bones hanging on this necklace, as well as several unknown colored stones. It is colorful and bright, which is very beautiful. The most amazing thing is that it looks very heavy, but it is hanging on the neck.
It's surprisingly light, you can barely feel its weight.
Qu Le subconsciously touched the colorful stone on her chest. The tentacles were delicate and cool, and they were definitely not ordinary. This cheap grandpa was really generous.
Elder Lan looked her up and down. The more he looked at her, the more satisfied he became. He kept nodding: "She is a little thinner, but she still has the magnanimity of my Lan family. After the Eve Festival, you can follow me back to Butterfly Valley.
From now on, you can stay and live in southern Xinjiang with peace of mind."
Qu Le was waiting for his words and nodded quickly like a squirrel: "Well, I will definitely replace my mother and sister in the future and honor my grandpa!"
Elder Lan immediately became happy and laughed loudly: "Okay, what a smart boy!"
That night, Elder Lan specially called the Lan clan members together and formally recognized Qu Le's identity to everyone. In order to celebrate the recovery of his granddaughter, Elder Lan specially gave everyone a special meal, and Sang Yue was also invited to stay and enjoy it together.
Delicious food and wine.
The Lan clan members were both curious and enthusiastic about Qu Le's appearance, and many took the opportunity to toast her to secretly observe her words and deeds.
Qu Le's drinking power was not very good. After being toasted by them so many times, she soon couldn't hold it any longer. She sat dizzy and giggled beside the campfire. Elder Lan noticed something strange about her and knew that she was drunk, so he said
: "Ah Ling, Ah Le is drunk. Send her back to rest first. She will sleep at your place tonight. You can take good care of her for me."
The woman in blue dress who had introduced Qu Le and Sang Yue earlier stood up and bowed her head respectfully.
Lan Ling helped the drunken Qu Le back to the tent. This tent was relatively small, but the layout inside was very clean and beautiful, with the beauty of a woman. It can be seen that the owner of this tent is a thoughtful person, and this
The tent is also the closest to the big tent where Elder Lan is.
Qu Le was taken off her outer clothes, and Lan Ling personally washed her face and hands, helped her lie down on the bed, and covered her with a quilt. After knowing that her breathing gradually stabilized, Lan Ling stood up and left.
She walked out of the tent and immediately saw a strong man waving to her not far away. She raised her head and looked around to make sure that everyone was drinking and laughing around the campfire and had not noticed this, so she walked quickly
Walk towards the strong man.
After Qu Le left, Sang Yue got up and left the campfire, returned to her tent, and took the baggage that Qu Le left here.
The baggage was very light, and there were only a few changes of clothes in it. Sang Yue jumped back with the baggage. When passing the big tent, she accidentally saw Lan Ling quietly following a strong man into the small small room next to him.
Inside the woods.
What were they doing in the woods alone at such a late hour? Sang Yue was curious and stood on tiptoes to take a closer look. She discovered that the strong man was the same man who helped interpret during the day. Later, she heard that
Elder Lan called him Badar.
But it had nothing to do with her. Sang Yue smiled indifferently and got into the small tent with her baggage. She threw the baggage on the bed and saw Qu Le wrapped in a quilt and sleeping soundly. It was like a thunderbolt.
will wake up.
Sang Yue patted her cheek gently: "Little girl, after I send you here, I should go do my own things. You can take your time and play by yourself from now on."
Qule twisted her butt and wrapped the quilt tighter.
Sang Yue sneered, shook her head, and turned around to leave. She walked out of the tent and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the woods. In the dark night, there were many shadows in the woods. She didn't know what to do in such a ghost place.
.
Sang Yue turned around and walked towards the bonfire. She said hello to Elder Lan and then left alone.
At the same time, in the grove, Lan Ling was standing in the shadow of a tree. In the darkness, her beautiful face was looming, exuding a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere. A strong man named Badal was standing next to her,
The upper body is slightly bowed, looking extremely loyal and reliable.
Opposite them, stood a sturdy middle-aged man with a conspicuous scar on his face. If Qule were here, it would be obvious at a glance that this man with the scar was the one who sent her to southern Xinjiang.
Boss Ma.
Boss Ma was staring at Lan Ling with a gloomy face at this moment, and his tone was very cold: "What's going on with that woman who suddenly appeared? When did Mr. Lan have a granddaughter? Is she going to interfere with our important affairs?"
"
Lan Ling sneered disdainfully: "She's just a yellow-haired girl who doesn't understand anything. What can she do to hinder her?"
Boss Ma hummed: "You must know better than me why Old Man Lan was willing to recommend you as a candidate for the Saint before. Now that his only granddaughter is back, you can guarantee that Old Man Lan will not
Change your mind and recommend that yellow-haired girl to become a saint? After all, she is a direct bloodline of the Lan family, so she is much more legitimate than your adopted daughter!"
Lan Ling wanted to refute, but what he said was true. She couldn't find a reason to refute at all. Her face turned red with anger and she gritted her teeth: "Then what do you want to do?"
Boss Ma gave a hideous laugh: "I'll leave this matter to you. You just need to ensure that there are no accidents during tomorrow's festival."
Although he didn't say it clearly, Lan Ling immediately understood the meaning of his words, and his face suddenly turned gloomy: "Don't worry, I won't let her have the opportunity to hinder us!"
After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the grove with Badar. Looking at their retreating figures, Boss Ma had a strange expression, and the scar looked particularly ferocious under the moonlight.
At midnight, it was dark and silent inside the tent.
Qule was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, when a figure slowly approached her and held out a handkerchief smeared with incense towards her.
Seeing that the handkerchief was about to touch the tip of his nose, Qule suddenly moved, and the figure froze in fear.
Qu Le opened her eyes and saw someone standing next to the bed. She was startled. After seeing the other person's face clearly, Qu Le struggled to get up, rubbed her aching forehead, frowned and said: "Sister Aling
, why are you standing next to my bed in the middle of the night without sleeping? You scared me to death!"
Lan Ling didn't expect that she would wake up suddenly. She took back the hand holding the handkerchief without leaving a trace, and quickly put on a considerate and beautiful smile on her face: "I saw that your quilt was not covered properly, and I was afraid that you would catch a cold at night, so I wanted to help."
Just cover yourself with the quilt, I didn't expect it to scare you, I'm sorry."
She did this with good intentions, and Qu Le didn't really blame her. He waved his hand indifferently: "Forget it, it's just a small thing, no need to apologize."
Qu Le opened the quilt, put on her shoes, and threw on a coat.
Lan Ling hid the handkerchief in his sleeve and asked, "It's so late, do you still want to go out?" (To be continued)
