Chapter 111 Asking for Accommodation
The next day, when the sky in the east was just beginning to turn pale, Lu Tingyan could not wait to get out of bed. She quickly washed and dressed carefully, and then told Lu Tianyu that she was going to town.
"Brother, let's go find Sister Wan'er first! Ask her where Murong Xi lives." Lu Tingyan said to Lu Tianyu excitedly.
Lu Tianyu smiled and nodded, indicating his agreement. Then, Qingfeng drove the carriage and took the two siblings on the road to Lin Wan'er's home.
Arriving at the door of Lin's residence, Qingfeng went forward and knocked gently. After a while, a voice came from inside the door: "Excuse me, who are you?"
Qingfeng replied respectfully: "We would like to meet Miss Lin, please let her know." As he spoke, he turned sideways so that the other party could see Lu Tingyan and Lu Tianyu standing behind him.
The concierge recognized Lu Tingyan at a glance, and immediately showed a warm smile on his face, and invited them into the mansion. He said, "Miss Lu, please wait a moment, I will send someone to notify the lady right away."
Lu Tingyan thanked the doorman with a smile and waited in the main hall.
After a while, the sun shone through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on the bluestone road, adding a touch of tenderness to the quiet afternoon. Lin Wan'er hurried over with light steps, her figure looming in the interweaving of light and shadow, like a fairy walking out of a painting, with an expression of surprise that was difficult to conceal on her face. She took two steps at a time until she was in front of Lu Tingyan, her bright eyes flashing with the joy of reunion after a long separation, and she whispered softly: "Sister Yan'er, long time no see, you really made me miss you for a while!"
After saying that, he looked at Lu Tianyu and said hello: "Mr. Lu, long time no see."
Lu Tianyu replied politely: "Miss Lin."
When Lu Tingyan heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, as bright as the twinkling stars in the night sky. The corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, revealing a sweet smile, which was as gentle as the spring breeze and as gorgeous as the blooming spring flowers. She responded cheerfully: "Sister Wan'er, it's been a long time since we last met! I've been doing very well recently, without any troubles, and I'm very happy every day. I just often think of the good times we spent together. Whenever I recall those moments, my heart is filled with warmth and happiness. I wonder how you are doing recently? Have any interesting things happened?"
Lin Wan'er smiled, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes hiding the tenderness and stories of the years. She naturally took Lu Tingyan's hand, which was warm and powerful, as if it could convey endless care and comfort. "I'm fine, and my days are busy but fulfilling. But your sudden visit surprised me a little." Lin Wan'er's words were full of pampering and curiosity.
Hearing this, Lu Tingyan raised a sly smile. She blinked mischievously, with a cunning light in her eyes. Then she leaned forward slightly, almost close to Lin Wan'er's ear, and asked softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Sister Wan'er, do you know where Mr. Murong Xi lives now?"
Lin Wan'er was stunned at first, then a knowing smile appeared on her delicate face, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes. She gently patted Lu Tingyan's shoulder, with an action that showed both the doting of an elder sister to her younger sister and a hint of teasing. "So that's how it is, girl, you came here for him. Don't worry, I know where Mr. Murong lives. But you are so anxious, do you have any plans in mind?"
"Well! Sister Wan'er, have you found that anyone is monitoring you recently?" Lu Tingyan asked solemnly.
Lin Wan'er shook her head and said with some worry: "I haven't gone out these two days, and I don't dare to look for you, for fear that someone is watching me."
Lu Tingyan's brows knitted slightly, like a distant mountain covered with dark clouds, and a trace of worry quietly crept into her heart. She pondered for a moment, and finally made up her mind. She looked at Lin Wan'er with a bit more determination and frankness in her eyes. "Sister Wan'er, this is a long story, but please allow me to speak frankly. My brother and I came to the town this time to find out Murong Xi's background and determine whether he is an enemy or a friend."
Hearing this, Lin Wan'er opened her mouth in surprise, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief. She shook her head slowly and said softly, "Murong Xi? He always gives people the impression of being gentle and elegant, and his words and deeds reveal a bookish air. He doesn't look like a bad person? However, sister Yan'er, since you have made up your mind, I will naturally support you, but remember, safety comes first, and you must not put yourself in danger."
Lu Tingyan's heart warmed when she heard this. She nodded vigorously, with an unprecedented determination in her eyes. "Sister Wan'er, I will remember your concern in my heart. I will be careful and will never act rashly. For Brother Yuan, I must find out his true intentions."
Lin Wan'er looked at Lu Tingyan's resolute eyes, feeling both relieved and worried. She sighed softly, and then asked with concern: "Since you have decided, then Mr. Murong is now living in the Youran Inn, what do you plan to do?"
Lu Tingyan smiled slyly, and that smile showed both cuteness and the courage to face unknown challenges. "Hey, Sister Wan'er, just wait for my good news. I have a clever plan that will definitely help me find out Murong Xi's true intentions. We'll take our leave first." After saying that, she turned around and left the main hall like a light deer in the forest, with a bit of mystery and determination.
The sunlight shone through the window lattice, casting a long shadow on her departing figure, as if foreshadowing the beginning of an extraordinary journey. Lin Wan'er looked at the figure that was gradually going away, praying silently in her heart, hoping that she would return safely, and that everything would be as she wished, and that the truth would be revealed.
