Chapter 152: Actually, I am your long-lost sister
Chapter 152: Actually, I am your long-lost sister
Hua Bei stood by and watched for a long time. Now his mind was a little confused. He had indeed heard before that Gu Lang had a sister who had been lost for many years. Gu Lang had been looking for her all these years, so this had become a concern for Gu Lang.
Hua Bei looked hesitant. Could this woman be the sister that Gu Lang lost many years ago?
Jiang Tunan was caught off guard by Gu Lang's reaction. Could it be that this guy mistook him for that Xue'er?
"I...my name is..."
Jiang Tunan looked at Xiao Mingrui somewhat helplessly. Xiao Mingrui received Jiang Tunan's gaze, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"My name is Jiang Tunan."
"Is your surname Jiang? Tunan...what a nice name."
Gu Lang lowered his head and muttered. Jiang Tunan thought that Gu Lang had misunderstood the word "Tunan" as "Tunan" like everyone else before. He was about to explain when he saw Gu Lang's eyes suddenly become sharp.
"You have really gone to great lengths to gain my trust. My secret writings were stolen a few days ago, and today someone came who claimed to know about my past. Isn't this a bit too coincidental, Miss Jiang?"
Xiao Mingrui looked at Jiang Tunan and asked: Did you peek at someone's diary?
Jiang Tunan cried out that she was innocent. Why did she have nothing better to do than to read someone else's diary? Besides, she didn't pick up the diary.
"Master Gu, Miss Jiang didn't mean it. She was just frightened and lied in a hurry."
Su Xiaoxiao had an understanding look on her face. Jiang Tunan frowned when he heard what she said. Su Xiaoxiao really would not miss any opportunity to find fault with her.
But Jiang Tunan thought again. He just told the contents of his dream in a hurry. Although he calmed Gu Lang for a while, how should he explain it to others in the future? How should he explain it to Xiao Mingrui? Xiao Mingrui was not the kind of person who could be fooled. He couldn't really let others believe that he knew any divination skills.
It would be better to just make the best of a bad situation, so Jiang Tunan immediately changed his expression, secretly pinched his thigh, and forced out a few tears.
"Brother Liang, I didn't expect that after so many years, you already couldn't recognize me..."
Gulang:?
Jiang Tunan: Miss Xueer, I’m sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to impersonate you!
"What do you mean?"
Gu Lang's eyes were cold. Xue'er had always been a thorn in his heart. If he had not been careless, he would not have lost Xue'er. He would not allow anyone to deceive him about Xue'er.
Jiang Tunan's face was filled with sadness and pain.
"I don't remember, but when I saw you, I felt familiar, and the name suddenly popped up in my mind."
Gu Lang didn't say anything, but looked at Jiang Tunan seriously, trying to find a flaw on her face.
"I did lie to you about the divination technique I just mentioned, but everything I said was what I saw with my own eyes. When I first saw you, fragments of memory kept appearing in my mind..."
Su Xiaoxiao was already stunned watching at the side, she didn't expect Jiang Tunan to have such a rough past. However, Su Xiaoxiao immediately thought, Jiang Tunan was obviously a daughter of the side branch of the Anguo Mansion, why did she become the sister of this bandit leader now? Could it be that this bandit was related to someone from the Anguo Mansion?
Xiao Mingrui looked at Jiang Tunan's hand pinching his thigh, and the corners of his mouth twitched silently. Jiang Tunan's trick was really useful.
"These things are all written in my secret book, how can I trust you?"
Jiang Tunan: Believe it or not!
"If you think so, I have no way to defend myself..."
Jiang Tunan tilted his head, his eyes showing disappointment towards Gu Lang.
Shar whispered in Gulang's ear,
"Brother, she looks a bit like the general to me. Could she really be Xue'er..."
"Shut up!"
Gulang scolded.
"Is she Xue'er? Can't I recognize her?"
Shar immediately became timid.
"Brother is right. When I look closely, she clearly doesn't look like a general at all."
Jiang Tunan listened to the conversation between Gulang and Shaer, thought for a moment, and spoke casually,
"In my memory, Brother Liang would always take me to eat delicious roasted meat, even if...even if I was sometimes punished by my two brothers..."
Gulang looked doubtful, and Shar next to him became excited again.
"Brother, she, she, she..."
Gu Lang continued to keep his head down and said nothing, but Hua Bei who was standing beside him saw all of Gu Lang's reactions. Gu Lang had been suffering from tuberculosis in recent years, and his health was getting worse day by day due to his heart disease.
It is said that physical illness is easy to cure, but mental illness is difficult to cure. What if Gu Lang found his sister at this time?
"Brother Gu, this Miss Jiang doesn't look like she's lying. Everything is still to be investigated. Why not settle them in Wushi Village first? There's a long way to go, and the truth will eventually come out. Brother Gu, if you lose your sister because of your hesitation at this moment, wouldn't it be a pity?"
Gu Lang's eyes flashed with confusion. Hua Bei's words obviously shook him. Seeing that Gu Lang didn't say anything, Hua Bei tried to speak.
"Then I will arrange for them to stay."
Gu Lang nodded, still without saying anything.
After Jiang Tunan and others were taken away by Hua Bei, only Gulang and Shaer were left in the room.
Shar stood upright, staring at Gulang, and finally couldn't help but speak,
"Brother, I remember you never wrote secret articles."
Gulang slowly raised his head, then lowered it again.
"I have my own plans."
......
In Yuxi County, Xiao Mingli found Magistrate Yang and informed him of Xiao Mingrui's situation. He was then preparing to gather officers and soldiers to go to Wuming Mountain for the rescue.
Xiao Mingxu stood beside Xiao Mingli, his eyes full of worry. He didn't expect that Jiang Tunan had not been found yet, and now the fourth brother was involved.
As everyone was getting ready to go, they heard a lazy voice coming from outside the county government office.
"Why is the county government so bustling today? Could it be that they knew I would be here today and were waiting here to welcome me?"
Everyone looked towards the door and saw Meng Jingchen in white, with Ziwen beside him.
"Why are Second Young Master Xiao and Third Young Master Xiao also here? Could it be that you have been secretly keeping an eye on me?"
Meng Jingchen had a joking expression on his face, but his eyes were quietly looking at everyone present. He wondered what these two people were doing to mobilize such a large force.
Could it be that they came here for that matter as well?
"Meng Jingchen, have some shame, how can you be more narcissistic than me."
Xiao Mingxu looked at Meng Jingchen speechlessly. Why did this annoying guy come?
Meng Jingchen was not angry when he heard Xiao Mingxu's words, but changed the subject and said,
"I heard that Third Master Xiao had been searching for Miss Jiang's whereabouts for the past few days. I thought Third Master Xiao was very loyal, but I didn't expect that after just a few days, Third Master Xiao would be tired."
When Xiao Mingxu heard this, he was so angry that his hair exploded immediately.
"Who said I don't care about Xiao Nannan? Now we are..."
Xiao Mingxu suddenly stopped talking halfway. Meng Jingchen was just trying to trick him.
"none of your business?"
A smile appeared on Meng Jingchen's lips. He didn't expect that he would gain something today.
