"Let's go, Baisu. We shouldn't delay their business."
She was obedient, quiet and obedient.
Jin led them to the cabin, which was spacious. There was a bed, a table, and a cabinet next to it. It was a good place.
"Later, no matter what happens. Don't come out, Miss Lin and Miss Baisu. We'll take care of the outside. "
Jin was still smiling like usual. Her eyes were curved, and her smile was lovely.
Lin Mengya nodded and sat at the table. She looked at the burning oil lamp and thought about something.
Along the way, she didn't explain to Baisu, and Baisu didn't ask.
With a rumbling sound, the hull of the ship suddenly shook. Then, they, who were in the cabin, could clearly feel that the ship was moving bit by bit.
Baisu stood beside her subconsciously, but Lin Mengya forced her to sit on the chair.
"Don't panic. The ship is in the water."
Baisu was confused. Her master had never been out of the water, just like her.
But how did she know everything that happened here?
But she was used to trusting Lin Mengya.
The master and servant sat in the cabin. After a while, the noise outside became louder.
"It seems that they are fighting!"
Baisu had sharp eyes and ears, and so did Lin Mengya.
She could hear people shouting outside, and the sounds of cursing rose and fell.
She couldn't help but open the door.
But at this moment, they were already under the night sky.
"Miss Lin, why did you come out?"
It turned out that Jin had been guarding outside her door.
"Nothing. I came out to have a look."
Ah Jin didn't stop her. Instead, she moved her body aside.
She saw a big cave behind her, which looked like the mouth of a beast. They were at the stern of the ship, which had just left the mouth of the beast.
An Zichen was standing at the stern of the ship. He stood tall against the wind, his posture even straighter.
Lin Mengya walked up and followed his gaze. She saw those guys holding torches and cursing on the shore not far away.
But the ship was getting farther and farther away.
"It's cold at night. Be careful."
An Zichen didn't look back. He was still looking at the crowd not far away.
Those people had even begun to jump into the sea, desperately swimming towards him. Unfortunately, the result was hopeless.
This ship would never carry any of them again.
"It's fine. This is my first time on such a big boat. What crime did they commit? "
"Stealing, raping, and greedy."
An Zichen's voice was cold, but Lin Mengya could hear the pain in his heart.
"I won't tell anyone. In exchange, you tell me the bottom line of settling down."
She said softly, her tone full of certainty.
An Zichen finally tilted his head and looked at Lin Mengya in surprise.
"You know everything?"
He smiled and nodded nonchalantly.
Lin Mengya was calmer than him, and her eyes were so penetrating that no one could hide it.
"What's so hard to guess?"
She winked at An Zichen. This was the first time she had let her guard down around An Zichen.
"You don't hate me at all. You even protect me in front of others. However, when Uncle Dong's men poisoned me, you didn't care at all. It could even be said that you deliberately exposed a flaw, giving them a chance. Thus, they became sinners. They murdered the Master of the Gong family. Not to mention exiling them to a foreign country, they could even be sentenced to death. "
An Zichen's eyes dimmed for a moment. After a long time, he said softly.
"I'm sorry."
"No need. Anyway, you know their character. If they didn't poison me, they would have given me some light food. Once they did, they would have made up a story about the taste of the food to cover it up. I'm sure all of this was within your calculations, right? I'm not stupid. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. "
After saying this, An Zichen could only smile bitterly.
Yes, he did make use of Lin Mengya.
But he didn't regret it at all.
"From the moment we set foot on this road, those people who tried to kill us were actually after you and Jin. You wanted to get rid of Uncle Dong, and Uncle Dong also wanted to get rid of you. As for me, I'm just your spoils of war. The two people who died in my house only wanted to kidnap Baisu, so that I would be alone and helpless. As for the others who died, it was a smokescreen created by Uncle Dong and his collaborators in order to kill your men. But I'm afraid those 'dead men' are all on this ship now, right? "
Now, aside from nodding quietly, An Zichen couldn't do anything else.
"So I cooperated with you and took the initiative to tell Uncle Dong what happened that day. The green jade plate you took out belonged to one of Uncle Dong's men. He thought that his whereabouts would be exposed, so he cooperated with us. And my words also reminded Uncle Dong that the people behind me and your men would take the opportunity to destroy the most important part of the ship. So, fewer people were watching you, so you could spare a lot of time to find the ship that you had hidden before you came. It seemed that your men were all dead, so you moved faster and more covertly. Those resources had been moved away by you, and you also sent people to start the fire. It was also because of the fire that Uncle Dong began to suspect, so these things happened later. Maybe what I said is not the truth, but it should be about the same. "
She smiled faintly, but An Zichen heaved a sigh of relief after she finished speaking.
"In the past, the Xin family told me that you were very smart. Now, I finally believe it. But I don't know how you found out about our flaws. "
"I found a fragment of a jade plate in the cave where you kept the herbs. This thing should be very important for you to prove your identity. Who would break it if it wasn't for the fact that their lives were in danger? Unless this person met with a mishap. It's true that the cave is managed by the Xin family, but the people behind it are you. So, the people who are least likely to die are also your men. Ah Jin didn't just sneak into the crowd to see the medicine and test me. He was actually running for his life. And the reason why my husband didn't come in was because he found out your whereabouts. The reason why you didn't make things difficult for him is not because you are kind, but because you have lost the ability to do so, so you are not in a hurry to catch me, right? "
A small jade plate allowed her to speculate the whole situation at that time.
An Zichen could only smile bitterly. But he didn't know that the reason why she could remember every detail was that she had the help of the Shen Nung system in her mind.
In other words, as long as she wanted to, she would not let go of any clues.
From the moment she picked up the jade plate, to the moment she found the green jade plate, which was similar to the jade plate, everything connected, so that she could connect all the situations in an instant.
"The reason why Tiancheng died was that she knew that the child was very important, so she used it to threaten Uncle Dong. Uncle Dong flew into a rage out of humiliation and killed her. But the child was not in their hands. Now, can you return him to me? "
If Tiancheng used the child to negotiate with An Zichen, even if she failed, An Zichen would spare her life.
But Uncle Dong would not. In the eyes of his men, no matter how powerful Tiancheng was, she was not a lowly slave. So Uncle Dong would not show mercy to her.
Moreover, who was Tiancheng?
Even if she wanted to persuade Lin Mengya to give the chance to her, she would not take the risk of bringing the child out to meet them.
The people who asked her out were on Uncle Dong's side.
And the reason why she could come back safely was that An Zichen's men had restrained Uncle Dong's men.
Therefore, when they were escaping, no one came to help them.
An Zichen did not tell Uncle Dong the specific date and route of their arrival. All this was to prevent Uncle Dong's men from attacking them again.
As long as he figured out one of these things, the rest would be easily solved.
An Zichen said with a self-mocking smile.
"The child is in the cabin. He is very safe. Don't worry. No matter how despicable I am, I will never use a child to threaten you. "
Sure enough, given An Zichen's character, he would never hurt a child.
Knowing that Moyan was safe and sound, she was relieved.
She hadn't seen the little one for more than half a year. She didn't know if the child still recognized her.
At the thought of Moyan, Lin Mengya's heart softened.
She loved the child very much, especially in a foreign country. Except for Baisu, the little one was the only one who was closely related to her.
After seeing her expression, An Zichen's eyes showed a little loneliness.
"If, if Jingxuan is still alive, she should be about the same age as you. She should have gotten married and had children of her own. "
"Is he your brother?"
An Zichen nodded, then shook his head.
"He is the child of a servant of the An family. He was born and grew up in the An family. I was in poor health when I was a child, so Jingxuan took care of me. "
"Are you very close?"
"Yes."
An Zichen's eyes were full of memories of the past.
He had avenged his great hatred, and there was finally a reason to open some memories.
"Jingxuan is a very obedient child. My father once promised that when I grew up, he could ask my grandfather to get rid of Jingxuan's slave status and adopt him as his son. I owe him a great debt of gratitude. His parents died because of me. We grew up together. We are not brothers, but we are better than brothers. However, when I was thirteen years old, Jingxuan suddenly disappeared. My father and I couldn't find him. Half a month later, Uncle Dong became my fourth uncle's confidant with a rare herb. Once, I accidentally saw Jingxuan's head buried in the soil where the herb was growing. "
