To be honest, why Yan Yunhe began to suspect Yinniang was not because she happened to appear near the Salesian Hospital by chance, nor was it because she was deliberately spying on Yu Qin.

But from an earlier time, when he asked Yinniang to come down for a drink under the moon, what she said to him.

He later checked on Yinniang, only to find that there were almost no records of Yinniang's past, and the earliest one could only be traced back to eight years ago.

It was as if she had appeared out of thin air and had been transformed.

Yes, the disguise master in the Imperial City Department once told him that there is a way to change a person's face forever, but the method is cruel and there will be traces after it is done.

Yan Yunhe discovered very early that Yinniang had such marks on her face. But he never asked, because everyone has secrets that they don't want to tell others.

But now Yinniang's secret may be related to Yu Qin.

Why did the outside world spread rumors that Yu Qin was like an evil ghost and said that he loved to eat human flesh? It was also because he had done something that caused a sensation in the capital.

He once tortured a man to death, a man named Dali Temple Master, who was arrested for corruption with the approval of Emperor Cheng Jing.

But for some reason, he was taken to the imperial prison on the way, and Yu Qin was ordered to cut Ling Chi with a knife. It took three days before he died.

The Jin Yiwei on the side were already used to punishments, but when they saw this Shura-like scene, many of them were disgusted and vomited.

Some people even said that when they went to handover in the morning, they saw Yu Qin's hands full of blood, sitting next to the inhuman body and drinking.

It was eventually rumored that he drank wine with human flesh. Since then, the rumor that he likes to eat human flesh has spread more and more.

What Yanyun thought, maybe it was just the opposite. During this period of time, he observed Yu Qin's diet and found that this person did not like to eat meat and fish.

He doesn't pay attention to his appetite, and his need for food is very weak. I don't know if it has something to do with being in charge of the prison.

As for the Dali Temple Master, he was the official who took over the Yu Mansion case back then, but he was only a small role and basically played no role.

No one understands why Yu Qin only targeted this Dali Temple.

Now Yan Yunhe may know why.

But everything is just his guess, and there will be no results until after tonight.

As expected, Yinniang paid a visit to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion after nightfall, and brought a maid and many greeting gifts in a decent manner.

When Mrs. Yan heard that a female guest was coming to visit tonight, she had already made preparations. When she saw Yin Niang, her eyes showed joy.

Because she had already given instructions, Yinniang responded shyly to Madam Yan's enthusiasm.

Yan Yunhe simply introduced Yinniang to Mrs. Yan: "This is the female official in the palace, and she can also be regarded as my colleague."

When he heard that it was the female official, he agreed with what Yan Yunhe said at the beginning. Mrs. Yan's eyes lit up, and she was surprised. He looked at Yinniang and nodded.

Yan Yunhe struck while the iron was hot and told Mrs. Yan that he would not attend the banquet in a few days to avoid upsetting the people he liked.

Mrs. Yan was pulled aside by him to talk. She was not happy at all. She was still looking at the living room where Yin Niang was: "I know, but tell me honestly, is this girl really the one you said?" "

I said that. "Who?" Yan Yun was so careless, he had never admitted that Yin Niang was his sweetheart, and it was his mother who had the first impression.

"It's what you said before, your favorite..." Before Mrs. Yan could finish her words, Yan Yunhe grabbed her and said, "We can't let people think that this is how our Marquis Mansion treats guests. Mother should come with me." Go to the front hall."

Madam Yan was almost jogged by him: "If you hadn't dragged me here, how could you be rude to others?"

While Madam Yan was talking to Yin Niang, Yan Yun asked Song. Wen pulled aside: "I asked you to go to the south of the city to buy a peach blossom. Have you bought it?"

The peach blossom in the south of the city was an agreement between him and Yu Qin. As long as he sent someone to buy the peach blossom, he would see Yu Qin.

Song Wen nodded: "Said it was delivered to the house at Haishi."

Haishi was too late. If he didn't let him go when the time came, not only Yinniang would become suspicious, but even Mrs. Yan would accuse him.

Let these two people meet tonight, and it turns out that it was a misunderstanding, so that's it. But if it wasn't a misunderstanding, then Yu Qin would know that he still has relatives in this world.

Thinking of this, Yan Yunhe secretly made up his mind to tie Yin Niang to the Hou Mansion even if she was tied up, and wait for Yu Qin to come over.

When he returned to the living room, he saw Mrs. Yan holding Yinniang's hand and wiping her tears, while Yinniang looked at him with pleading eyes.

"What's going on?" Yan Yunhe immediately stepped forward and asked.

Mrs. Yan's eyes were slightly red: "You are a hard-luck child. Your father has been absent since you were a child, and your mother passed away early. But you are very proud. Now that you have entered the palace as an official, your parents are well-informed and will be happy for you."

"This is the New Year. " It's coming soon. If you have nothing to do when you arrive, you can come and have fun with us." Mrs. Yan patted her hand and said softly.

Yinniang hadn't been in contact with such an elder for a long time, and for a moment she felt that Mrs. Yan's tears were a little hot, making her heart tremble.

This made her feel guilty about deceiving Mrs. Yan.

She even began to regret agreeing to Yan Yunhe. She was afraid that Mrs. Yan would be disappointed in her if she finally found out the truth.

Yan Yunhe naturally felt Yinniang's wavering, and he immediately interrupted the tender conversation between the two people: "It's time to eat."

Mrs. Yan glared at him, as if she already thought he was in the way.

Yan Yunhe never thought that Mrs. Yan would like Yinniang so much, and inviting Yinniang to stay today was just an excuse.

It was just a show and a complete set, which is why we ended up in this situation, unable to advance or retreat.

During the dinner, Mrs. Yan was almost caring about Yinniang, and she didn't care about Yan Yun.

Yan Yunhe had no choice but to start a different topic by himself: "Didn't Yinniang say that she has a brother last time? Is your brother in the capital now?"

"No, not here." Yinniang said with some dodge: "I had a relationship with my brother a long time ago. Lost."

"Really? Where are you separated? There is still news that Fang Zhizhou can't find out?" Yan Yun said.

Yinniang finally sensed that something was wrong with today's banquet. She immediately wanted to get up and leave, but when she saw Mrs. Banquet's eager eyes, she finally swallowed her words.

I don't know how long it took to eat without knowing how to taste it. I finally made it to the end of the banquet. Yan Yunhe said to Yinniang: "I haven't taken you to see the scenery in the backyard of the house. The wintersweet is in full bloom in season, which is very pleasing to the eye."

Yinniang said . The smile on her face froze, but Madam Yan seemed to have made a mistake, thinking that her uneasy son had finally enlightened, so she smiled and asked the maid next to her to lead the two of them to the backyard to enjoy plum blossoms.

After all, there are differences between men and women. Not only did they banquet Yunhe, but they also brought Song Wen.

Unexpectedly, halfway through, Song Wen grabbed the maid next to Mrs. Yan and took her out, leaving them alone in the garden.

Yan Yunhe finally showed a relaxed look on his face, and when he turned his head, he saw Yin Niang looking at him warily. If she were a cat, her hair would probably stand on end right now.

"What on earth are you going to do! Why do you ask me those things at the banquet?" Yinniang said warily.

Yan Yunhe: "It's just a casual mention, why should you be nervous."

Yinniang took a few steps back: "I have to go."

Yan Yunhe: "You can see it in a few steps, so you are so anxious? "

Yinniang shook her head, turned around, her cloak swayed in the air, and finally fell to her side.

She didn't move forward, she even froze in place.

Someone walked out from behind the wintersweet. The person's white fingertips picked out a wintersweet, and the snow rustled under the snow, soaking the old and new fur clothes.

The winter plum blossoms are in full bloom on a cold night, but they are not as beautiful as his appearance.

Yu Qin stood under the tree and looked at the two people standing in the snow.

Yinniang's face turned pale. This time, there was no Eunuch Yan and no palace wall to cover her. She instinctively retreated, but was gently resisted by a hand.

Yan Yunhe's voice came from behind: "I told you, you can see it right away."

Yinniang's teeth chattered slightly: "You are hurting me."

Yan Yunhe didn't say anything. Yinniang must have difficulties in refusing to recognize Yu Qin. , he asked the two to recognize each other out of selfish motives, and he was also prepared to be blamed by Yin Niang.

Yu Qin stepped forward slowly and asked in a low voice: "Is it A Yin?"

Even if she changed her name, changed her face, regained her identity, and lived another life, she couldn't bear Yu Qin's behavior like this. A cautious voice called her.

No one had called her that for a long time, and she thought she would no longer miss the past.

However, she was wrong. She immediately turned around and said, "You have the wrong person."

Yu Qin stopped a few steps away and did not step forward, but his eyes were so careful, as if he wanted to know a lot, but he didn't. Dare to ask more questions.

Yinniang wanted to leave in a panic, but Yan Yunhe grabbed her arm again. She gritted her teeth and looked at Yan Yunhe with tears in her eyes. Before she could speak, she heard Yu Qin say: "Huaiyang "Let her go."

Yan Yunhe let go of her hand, but Yinniang seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move.

Yu Qin whispered: "I saw a girl last time in the palace."

Yin Niang didn't say anything, but Yu Qin didn't care: "I once had a little sister named Bai Yin, who was very similar to the girl. "I asked Master Yan to find information about my younger sister. He may have misunderstood and brought you here."

Yinniang still turned her back to the two of them, her thin shoulders trembling slightly.

Yu Qin looked at her back and his voice gradually became hoarse: "Someone told me eight years ago that she had passed away. I searched everywhere for her and couldn't find any trace of her. I could only believe that she was really not alive. When I saw the girl today, she seemed like an old friend. Come back."

Yin Niang: "Since I have passed away, how can I be the A Yin in your mouth?"

Yan Yunhe saw that Yu Qin's eyes were gradually turning red, but he still controlled his emotions and said in a calm tone: " I know the girl is not A Yin, I just want to ask her for help."

Yin Niang seemed to take a deep breath: "What?"

Yu Qin lowered his thick eyelashes: "Can you pretend to be A Yin, just for a moment? There are things I have always wanted to say to her."

Yinniang didn't answer, but she didn't leave either. She didn't dare to look back, for fear that the two would notice something was wrong.

Maybe they already knew, but no one could expose her.

Yu Qin walked for a few steps, and finally stopped with restraint: "It's me, the useless brother, who failed to protect you. You... don't have to forgive me."

Yinniang's hands clasped in front of her were almost bleeding.

She had already burst into tears, but she never looked back.
