Chapter 209 Moving Soul
Lan Mei walked in gracefully and sat down, and I followed her in.
The two maids who served her actually did not close the door for her. After bowing, they walked to the farther courtyard with Ruofeng.
I wanted to pour her a cup of tea, so I picked up the blue-glazed, ice-cracked, white porcelain teapot on the table, but found it was empty, so I had to put it down in disappointment.
Seeing this, she smiled and said softly, "No need to serve me, please sit down first. I'm afraid that what I say later will surprise you, so I hope you can control your expression and movements."
After that, she paused, and continued without looking away: "Young lady has also seen that now I am under the surveillance of others in this mansion."
I nodded slightly, sat down as she asked, and looked at her intently, wondering what surprising thing she was going to say.
When she saw me sitting down, she said again, "Girl, it's me."
I said "Ah?", not knowing whether she was confessing some crime.
She pursed her lips, moved closer to me, and said in a very soft voice, "It's me, I'm Lanxiang." I was shocked, but remembered her instructions, so I just grabbed the edge of the table tightly with my hands and didn't widen my eyes.
After a short pause, I whispered back, "After I returned, I used the crystal to call you, but you didn't show up, so I went out to look for you. But I took the crystal to the eaves where we met, and there was no sound either. I was busy with the eldest young master's wedding, so I couldn't leave the house to look for the psychic. I didn't expect you to possess Lan Mei? What happened?"
She looked into the courtyard, made eye contact with the two maids, smiled faintly, nodded, then turned to me and replied, "It's a long story. I asked you to come over halfway, but you were too busy to take care of me. I thought that today when I went to pay my respects to the Madam, I would wait for the Second Young Master, and sure enough, I kidnapped him, so I can tell you everything that happened. That day, I was in the eldest young master's room and heard someone quietly walk in. As soon as they came in... they made love. I was ashamed and angry, my mind went blank, and my ears were buzzing. It took a long time for me to recover. I only heard the woman's... panting, and the eldest young master said to her, 'What a coincidence, who asked you to knock on the door at this time--'"
My ears felt a little hot from listening to this, but I really didn't want to hear about Tu Shan Hou's affairs in the bedroom, so I asked, "Have you seen that woman? Is she a lady from another family or Lan Mei?"
Lan Mei shook her head: "He put the crystals on the small table at the end of the bed, and I couldn't see them. I thought it was Lan Mei, but I'm not sure. I would like to ask the young lady to help me analyze it carefully."
I said anxiously, "Hey, Lan Mei came into the mansion with you after all, can't you tell her voice apart?"
She blushed and murmured, "She didn't say anything, and I didn't hear her... her voice at that time... so I'm not sure."
My face also turned red, I bit my lip and sighed, "Yeah, then go on, what else did you hear?"
Lan Mei continued, "They continued for a while, and suddenly there were birds singing outside. I was wondering why birds would not return to their nests in the rain, but would sing outside. So they stopped. Then I heard some rustling sounds, and the young master walked around twice. I don't know what he did, and then he said something like 'Don't worry, I have a way to prevent you from being tested', and then he went back to bed and lay down. Then you and Ruofeng came in."
After listening to this, I felt that there was no evidence to prove that the woman was Fang Feng Yiying. I wanted to hear if there were any clues later, so I nodded and said, "Thank you very much, very detailed. So, how did you get on Lan Mei's body later?"
She replied, "Alas, young lady, you don't know, when you guys caught her in the act and she went out to the courtyard to deal with the young master, Lan Mei felt that she had no way out and her innocence was ruined by Tushan Hou. She was a strong-willed person to begin with, and she actually... actually blew up her inner elixir and sought death. It's a pity that I couldn't see her movements in the crystal at that time, otherwise, since we grew up in the same mansion together, I would have stopped her no matter what." After she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't dare raise her hand to wipe away her tears. She just blinked hard to hold them back.
I stood up, took a few steps to stand in front of her, smiled at the maids and Ruofeng who were looking over from the yard, walked to the door, raised my hand to wipe the door frame, and got dust all over my hands.
I twirled my fingers and turned around. I saw that Lan Mei had already wiped away the tears from her eyes. I sat back down opposite her, wiped my hands with the satin cover of the chair, and consoled her, "The dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept my condolences."
She nodded and said, "Thank you, young lady. Anyway, I was in the crystal stone at that time, and suddenly I saw her floating in front of me. I was shocked. After asking, I found out that she had exploded her inner elixir and committed suicide. It might be the effect of the Sunshine Crystal Stone that sucked her here. She was also surprised to see me and asked me why I was here. I... I had to tell her the general idea in a few words. When she heard that I was beaten to death by the young master, she hurriedly told me that she was wronged. She didn't kill anyone, nor did she instruct others to kill you. At most, she wanted to frame you, beat you up and drive you away. She was wanted outside, and she had nowhere else to go and sneaked into the mansion to beg for mercy. She had offended you before, She didn't dare to go to the Second Young Master, thinking that she had grown up with the First Young Master, so she came to him to try. Unexpectedly, she passed out after drinking a cup of tea in the guest room, and when she woke up, she was already in the First Young Master's bed. I don't know the twists and turns before, I only know that this matter is getting more and more complicated. I remembered what you once told me, that the master said that if a person who is determined to die offers her body and agrees to let others use her body, it is possible to transfer her soul. So I asked her if she was willing to let me switch in, and she said that although she had no way to live, she was unwilling to die like this, so she agreed to let me switch in her body, hoping that I would help her get justice in the future."
The more I listened, the more strange it seemed. I asked curiously, "Huh? You just changed in directly like that? There was no ceremony or anything like that?"
She replied, "No, after she agreed, I was able to get out of the crystal, floated to the side of her body, and was sucked in. Maybe because I am a living soul, everything is easier? Unfortunately, after I got out of the crystal, I couldn't talk to her anymore. Although there was her figure in the crystal, she kept saying "It's not me", probably because there is a difference between life and death outside the crystal. Then I walked out to the yard, and you know everything that happened afterwards."
