Not everyone needs a reason to kill someone.

Thinking of Jing’an’s excitement when she started fighting with her, Wen Mingtang lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and said to Tangyuan, “She is a born evil person.”

That Rouge lady didn’t say whether it was right or wrong to kill someone, but she could still give a reason. But that was not the case with Jing’an.

Thinking of the feeling when she came into contact with her, this Jing’an seemed not to feel guilty or uneasy about taking human life but was actually excited.

It was better to catch this kind of person, so as not to harm innocent people.

“Lin Shaoqing said that when the murderer is caught, I can ask you to see with your own eyes that she is indeed a human being and not some painted monster.” Wen Mingtang said.

…

…

When she returned to Dali Temple after meeting Tangyuan, Liu Yuan and others had already returned.

Everyone was shocked when they learned that Wen Mingtang was treated as Tangyuan by Jing’an and almost killed. When he came to his senses, Liu Yuan was eating the shuang pei nai sent by Wen Mingtang, while he blamed himself: “I really neglected my duty by letting Master Wen bump into Jing’an. Fortunately, nothing happened.…”

Before he finished speaking, Wei Fu rubbed his chin and said: “So…it’s actually fortunate that Jing’an bumped into Master Wen. If it had been Tangyuan and Ah Bing, the two children would have died.”

Jing’an’s martial arts may seem like a three-legged cat in the eyes of people like Zhao You, but it was enough to deal with two children who had no power to restrain a chicken.

However, while they could celebrate, they couldn’t shirk their responsibilities, especially the duty of overseeing the event.

Eating the red bean shuang pei nai in the bowl and savoring the mellow milky taste between his lips and teeth, Liu Yuan frowned and said: “Master Wen is also working in our Dali Temple after all. This time it was an accident and was treated as Tangyuan. But she herself… …Hey, wasn’t she being hunted earlier? I think we should protect Master Wen carefully.”

Wei Fu scooped up a bowl of shuang pei nai, glanced at Liu Yuan, and said, “Your protection skills are not bad, but it seems like you may not be able to protect Master Wen. Master Wen might as well protect you. To protect Master Wen, you need someone with the skills of Zhao You at least…”

As he spoke, Lin Fei’s voice came from outside: “Jing’an is in jail, it’s time for interrogation.”

Hearing this, Liu Yuan and Wei Fu quickly said “Yes” and said, “Lin Shaoqing, can you let me come after I finish this bowl of shuang pei nai?”

Lin Fei nodded. He nodded and turned around to look for Wen Mingtang.

When he found Wen Mingtang, she was in a daze looking at a basket of lotus roots. When she saw Lin Fei coming, she greeted him and explained: “The lotus roots were not sent by Zhuangzi but by Liang Hongjin. I’ll help make some lotus root noodles, cakes, and so on.”

Lin Fei looked away from the basket of lotus roots and looked at the girl squatting on the ground looking at the lotus roots. After a moment of pause, he said, “What happened today is indeed my fault. I was derelict in my duty.”

He originally thought that Jing’an was hiding in Qiude Temple, but unexpectedly, the person hiding in Qiude Temple was actually a crazy woman, and Jing’an herself came to hunt down the witness from that day – “Tangyuan”.

However, it was precisely because of a visit to Qiude Temple that he discovered the real secret hidden behind Jing’an.

The girl responded with a nonchalant “hmm,” casually picking at the lotus root in her hand. She said, “You can’t blame yourselves for that! Until the case is truly solved, who can know the real culprit? Even if we know the culprit, who can know what she’s hiding behind her back? I’m just glad she found me. If it were Tangyuan instead… I wouldn’t even know what might have happened!”

She really couldn’t imagine what would happen to that smooth-talking, smart, and energetic little girl if she met Jing’an.

While she was speaking, the girl removed her hand from the lotus root and touched the soft sword at her waist. She raised her head and looked at him: “Lin Shaoqing has given me a truly good thing!”

Her identity destined her to attract the enemies of Wen Xuance seeking revenge. Even if Lin Fei arranged for Zhao You to protect her, Zhao You couldn’t be by her side like this soft sword all the time. There would inevitably be times when he wasn’t around. What should they do then?

This was the truth she had figured out after staying in the palace for so many years. What a person should trust most is the weapon in his hand. It was a pity that her kung fu was far inferior to that of Liang Hongjin, so even if she encountered someone like Jing’an who didn’t know the heights of the world, she could solve it smoothly. If it was a really powerful opponent, she was afraid she would have died.

In this regard, Lin Fei’s perspective was evidently the same as hers. He glanced at the soft sword at her waist and said, “It’s better to rely on oneself than to rely on others.”

Of course, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple who could carry a soft sword with him was also this kind of person.

Wen Mingtang said “Hmm”, and when she was about to lower her head to look at the lotus root in her hand, she suddenly said “Huh” and remembered something.

“Lin Shaoqing, I think Jing’an’s attitude is a bit strange.” Wen Mingtang raised her head, looked at Lin Fei, and said seriously.

Lin Fei lowered his head to look at Wen Mingtang. After pausing for a moment on the thick bangs on her forehead, he said, “I also think Jing’an is a little strange.”

But the strangeness he felt in Jing’an did not refer to her attitude. After all, Jing’an had never been in front of him. He had revealed that he thought Jing’an’s appearance was a bit strange.

“Judging from her appearance, there is almost no similarity between her and Lady Rouge or the romantic scholar.” Lin Fei said.

Of course, it was hard to say about appearance. It was possible that she just followed her ancestors or something like that, but the strange thing about Jing’an’s appearance was that……..

“She looks like another person.” Lin Fei said, “After we found the woman imprisoned in Qude Temple today, I can probably guess what happened.”

Although Lin Fei’s words were not clear, Wen Mingtang also vaguely understood them. When she heard the words, she nodded and said: “If this is the case, it can explain why Jing’an’s attitude towards Madam Rouge is disdain and sneer, but not the slightest bit of admiration.”

“I agree. Before Jing’an started to speak, she said something, but she didn’t finish it. I was still thinking about what she didn’t finish,” Wen Mingtang said, lowering her eyelids, “Now I can guess what it is.

” If you want me to tell you, if you are alive and disobedient, you are better off dead.” Jing’an said this before taking action, commenting on her mother, “She was wrong from the beginning, thinking that being gentle and petty can earn his pity. And name…”

The word after “name” should be…

“Status.” When Lin Fei heard this, he had obviously guessed it. He lowered his head, looked at the girl in front of him, and said, “She is not the child of Lady Rouge and the romantic scholar. The woman imprisoned in the temple is the child of Lady Rouge and the romantic scholar.”

Jing Hui and Zhuang Meiniang, who were brought in for questioning, were surprised when they heard this sentence. They were left speechless.

When they came to their senses, they both shook their heads and said, “It’s impossible. We watched her grow up. How could she not be my sister’s child?”

“What if this child was exchanged since she was a child ?” Lin Fei said calmly.
