Chapter 337 Return to Jiangnan?

The news that Lin Jiangnian said was completely beyond the expectations of Jiang Yuxiang and Zhiyuan.

Especially Jiang Yuxiang, who was as shocked by this news as when she first knew that Lin Jiangnian was the real Prince of Lin.

"How did he know about your existence?"

"He has been looking for you?!"

"You can return to the Prince of Lin's Mansion. Could it be related to him... Is he secretly looking for your whereabouts?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed deeply and nodded: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. From all the signs, it should be the case..."

The place where the Prince of Lin was assassinated is exactly where Lin Jiangnian appeared.

What a coincidence!

Lin Jiangnian's appearance may be related to the Prince of Lin!

Or maybe, it will be just as Jiang Yuxiang guessed... The Prince of Lin has been looking for Lin Jiangnian?

Zhiyuan, who was sitting next to him, looked a little solemn, and looked up at Lin Jiangnian from time to time, thinking.

"Zhiyuan, what's wrong?"

Lin Jiangnian noticed Zhiyuan's reaction: "Did you remember anything?"

Zhiyuan hesitated and remained silent, nodded, and shook her head.

"What do you mean?"

Zhiyuan lowered her eyes slightly, and after a moment, she said thoughtfully: "I did find that some strange figures appeared in the Lin Wang Mansion before..."

Zhiyuan had noticed some mysterious and strange figures in the Lin Wang Mansion before, but after in-depth investigation, she could not find any clues.

Now I think it is related to the Lin Wang Prince.

At the same time, this incident also made Zhiyuan recall some details that she had not noticed in the past.

For example, the Lin Wang Prince seemed to hate her since she first entered the Lin Wang Mansion!

Zhiyuan didn't understand the reason at that time, but now it seems that it should be as Xu Lan said...The Lin Wang Prince was worried that Zhiyuan would discover his secret?

Zhiyuan entered the Linwang Mansion as the maid of the Linwang Prince, but she had absolute power in the palace and could restrict the Linwang Prince's words and deeds everywhere. In addition, Zhiyuan had a keen sense of smell and outstanding ability. How could the Linwang Prince not worry that the secret would be discovered by Zhiyuan?

In this way, many doubts in Zhiyuan's heart in the past gradually became clear.

"But..."

Zhiyuan paused, raised her eyes slightly, and glanced at Lin Jiangnian: "Since those people appeared in the Linwang Mansion, they should leave traces..."

Lin Jiangnian's eyes condensed: "What do you mean?"

"There may be clues in the Linwang Mansion, and perhaps..."

Zhiyuan's eyes were slightly dignified: "There may be someone else in the Linwang Mansion who knows about this!"

Zhiyuan's words made Lin Jiangnian slightly stunned. After careful thinking, he suddenly thought of something: "You mean, there are helpers of the Linwang Prince in the Linwang Mansion?"

"Yes."

Zhiyuan nodded.

She knew the Linwang Prince best. With Xu Lan's help, she might be able to conceal the truth. But the problem is, it is absolutely impossible to be completely flawless!

After all, it was the Lin Wang Mansion, and there were many masters in the mansion. Moreover, the personal army of the Lin Wang Prince was controlled by Zhiyuan at that time, and everyone who entered and left the Lin Wang Mansion was basically under Zhiyuan's control.

The Lin Wang Prince could frequently contact those people under her nose. It was basically impossible for the Lin Wang Prince alone to avoid being exposed...

The only possibility is that there is an insider of the Lin Wang Prince in the Lin Wang Mansion.

Helping him hide all this!

"Who could it be?"

Lin Jiangnian also realized this and thought: "Who do you think is most likely?"

Zhiyuan was silent for a while and shook his head.

"Those who can do this must have a high status in the Lin Wang Mansion..."

Lin Jiangnian half-squinted his eyes, thinking about the suspicious people in the palace, and figures flashed through his mind.

At a certain moment, it seemed that a flash of inspiration flashed.

Lin Jiangnian suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhiyuan.

The two looked at each other, as if they suddenly thought of the same person!

"Who do you suspect?" Lin Jiangnian asked.

"What about you?" Zhiyuan asked back.

"Not sure, but I have a guess..."

Lin Jiangnian hesitated and said, "Except for Prince Lin, he may be the only one who can do this..."

Zhiyuan lowered her eyes, thought carefully, and nodded after a while.

At this time, Jiang Yuxiang, who had been left aside, looked at the two people in front of her, singing in unison, husband and wife following, she couldn't get a word in at all, and was a little anxious.

"What are you talking about?"

Jiang Yuxiang looked at Zhiyuan, then at Lin Jiangnian, what were they discussing?

Why couldn't I understand?

Mysterious, as if they had some special way of communicating.

And very tacit!

This made Jiang Yuxiang feel very complicated.

Obviously, she and Zhiyuan had known each other for a longer time, and she and Zhiyuan grew up together.

When she met Zhiyuan, she was only in her teens. They grew up together. Jiang Yuxiang was much older than Zhiyuan and had always played the role of both sister and mother. The two had a close relationship. After so many years, Zhiyuan should be closer to her.

But now, Zhiyuan was talking mysteriously to the guy in front of her who she had known for less than a year, which made Jiang Yuxiang feel like she was redundant.

Shouldn't she be here?

"It seems that we have to wait until we return to the Lin Palace to verify it!" Lin Jiang sighed.

Zhiyuan raised her eyes and glanced at him, and was silent for a while: "When?"

Lin Jiangnian was stunned for a moment before he realized what Zhiyuan was asking...when would he return to the palace?

"After the new year."

Lin Jiangnian hesitated and then spoke.

The new year is approaching, and there are many troubles at the end of the year. No matter what happens in the next year, I have to find a way to meet the emperor. After the marriage is resolved, it is almost time to go back.

As for the turmoil in the capital, the conflict between the third prince and His Highness the Crown Prince... this has nothing to do with Lin Jiangnian!

"Hey, did you hear me?!"

Jiang Yuxiang's eyes widened slightly in anger and he huffed.

Lin Jiangnian and Zhiyuan then turned their heads.

"Aunt?"

"Don't call me!"

Jiang Yuxiang was sulking, with a gloomy expression on his face: "Let's talk. It's no longer necessary for my aunt to stay here. Can I go?"

With that said, Jiang Yuxiang was about to get up and leave.

Zhiyuan on the side looked a little flustered, and quickly grabbed the corner of her aunt's clothes.

Lin Jiangnian also realized that he was neglecting his aunt, and quickly comforted him: "Auntie, what are you talking about? How can I be superfluous? Don't be angry, calm down first!"

"Oh!"

Jiang Yuxiang sneered, looked at the two people in the room with beautiful eyes, and said angrily: "Aren't I bothering you by staying here? Wouldn't it be better if I left?"

Lin Jiangnian said with a flattering smile on his face: "Auntie, where are you? This is your room. Where are you going?"

"I'll give you my room!"

Jiang Yuxiang said angrily.

"Calm down, calm down!"

Lin Jiangnian hurriedly stepped forward with a comforting smile on his face.

"Isn't this what Zhiyuan and I are discussing about business..."

Lin Jiang said in a young voice: "By the way, auntie, I have to ask you some things..."

Lin Jiangnian changed the topic without leaving a trace. Jiang Yuxiang, who was still a little sulky at first, did not lose his temper when he heard Lin Jiangnian brought up business.

After all, it was her sister's child, and she suddenly died inexplicably. How could she not care?

Right now, what she was most curious about was why the child knew about Lin Jiangnian's existence, and why he still didn't take any precautions even though he knew he would die...

Why did he keep this to himself?

He is Prince Lin's eldest son. If he tells this secret, why would he get to this point?

With the power of Prince Lin in Linzhou, how could the dignified Prince Lin end up dying at the hands of a group of suspected killers?

This makes absolutely no sense.

"Actually, I don't know much..."

Jiang Yuxiang sighed deeply: "I just accidentally learned some details and secrets of that year, and I have some guesses later..."

At this point, Jiang Yuxiang glanced at Zhi Yuan and said, "It wasn't until I heard Zhi Yuan talk to me that I was able to confirm that my sister had indeed given birth to a pair of twins. You are the other child that my sister left behind..."

"As for the rest..."

Jiang Yuxiang sighed softly: "I don't know much."

Lin Jiangnian listened to his aunt's words quietly, and then said after a while: "It seems that if you want to uncover the truth, you have to find out what happened that year... Lin... My mother clearly gave birth to a child. Why do we claim that there is only one twin?"

"What happened in the middle? Was it an assassination? Or a kidnapping? Or something else happened?"

Jiang Yuxiang thought about it and sighed softly: "I also asked several other elders of the Jiang family, but they couldn't answer it. They didn't even know that there was such a thing..."

"That happened eighteen or nineteen years ago. I was only a few years old at the time and have no memory at all. If I want to find out what happened back then, I'm afraid..."

"I have to go back to Jiangnan again!"

Eighteen or nineteen years ago, Lin Hengzhong was not King Lin. At that time, he was still fighting bloody battles on the front line in southern Xinjiang. Princess Lin stayed in Jiangnan and gave birth to a child.

Back then in Jiangnan, unknown secrets must have happened.

There are definitely elders in the Jiang family who will know about this.

If you want to find out, you have to go back again.

only……

When Jiang Yuxiang talked about going back to Jiangnan, Jiang Yuxiang's face became a little more entangled and hesitant.

Clearly, she didn't seem to want to go back.

Lin Jiangnian saw his aunt's hesitation: "Aunt, don't you plan to go back?"

"Why go back?"

Jiang Yuxiang rolled her beautiful eyes: "No one there looks pleasing to the eye, and everyone doesn't like me. I don't want to go back."

When she came to the capital this time, she planned to stay there for a long time and had no plans to go back.

Lin Jiangnian smiled bitterly, didn't they like their aunt at that time?

If he hadn't heard about Jiang Yuxiang's reputation in Jiangnan, he might have been deceived.

Lin Jiangnian asked: "If my aunt doesn't go back, won't grandpa have any objections?"

"Let him go."

Jiang Yuxiang snorted coldly and glanced sideways at Lin Jiangnian: "What? I dislike your aunt and want to drive her back?"

"How come?"

Lin Jiangnian quickly shook his head in denial: "If my aunt doesn't want to go back, then she won't go back. If you get tired of staying in the capital, you can go to Linzhou then. Your aunt is always welcome in Prince Lin's Mansion!"

"I guess you still have some conscience!"

Jiang Yuxiang snorted softly, and his face looked much better now. But then he frowned again and sighed.

"However, if I want to find out what is going on with your life experience, I really have to go back to Jiangnan..."

She really didn't want to go back.

But if he wanted to find out Lin Jiangnian's identity, he had to go back.

If you want to solve these mysteries, you must first investigate what happened to your sister.

Lin Jiangnian saw his aunt's hesitation and shook his head gently: "This matter is not urgent now. I will let the people of Lin Wangfu go to Jiangnan to investigate first. It's good if we can find out. If we can't find out, there is no hurry..."

Now that Lin Jiangnian has confirmed his identity, he has solved many doubts. The only thing that is still puzzling is what happened to Lin Wangfei back then, and... the plan and purpose of the Lin Wang's son.

These are not urgent for Lin Jiangnian!

These truths will be revealed sooner or later.

"It's not too late to make plans when there is news from Jiangnan."

Listening to Lin Jiangnian's advice, Jiang Yuxiang nodded and sighed: "This is the only way."

At this point, she took a deep breath: "If the truth can be found... this Jiangnan, what's wrong with going back?"

However, despite saying this, Jiang Yuxiang's face was as solemn as if she had gone through a sea of ​​fire and a mountain of swords.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Aunt, are you scared?"

"What can I be afraid of?!"

Lin Jiangnian smiled: "I heard that grandpa always wanted you to get married?"

Jiang Yuxiang glanced at her and said with a fake smile: "Who told you that?"

Lin Jiangnian was about to say something, but he suddenly met his aunt's increasingly unfriendly eyes, and immediately chose to shut up.

Forcing marriage seems to be a taboo for his aunt.

"Hey, I heard it..."

Lin Jiangnian changed the subject without leaving a trace: "It's getting late, so why don't you go to bed early, aunt?"

As he said, his eyes fell on Zhiyuan next to his aunt: "Zhiyuan?"

Zhiyuan was still thinking about something with her head down, and suddenly heard Lin Jiangnian calling her, and subconsciously raised her head: "Huh?"

"Do you want to go back together?"

Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and looked into Lin Jiangnian's clear eyes. The next second, she seemed to realize something.

A trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

Subconsciously dodged.

"No, no..."

Zhiyuan was inexplicably flustered and turned her head away.

Her face was slightly red.

"Are you bullying Zhiyuan again?"

Jiang Yuxiang saw Zhiyuan's reaction and looked at Lin Jiangnian with an unfriendly look.

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand innocently and said, "How could that be?"

Bullying Zhiyuan?

Don't you see who is bullying whom?

My aunt really doesn't know how Zhiyuan bullied him the night before yesterday?

"But it's always Zhiyuan who bullies me!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could Zhiyuan bully you for no reason?" Jiang Yuxiang naturally didn't believe it.

"Why don't you ask her?"

Lin Jiangnian turned his head to look at Zhiyuan and saw that Zhiyuan's face was red and he didn't say a word.

Jiang Yuxiang didn't care: "You must have bullied Zhiyuan first... Why would my Zhiyuan bully you for no reason?"

"Go away, don't even think about bullying Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan will sleep with me tonight, leave now!"

Lin Jiangnian was driven out by his aunt without any explanation!
