Xiao Yi Lin gave Li Lin Er a deadly look, “if Ya’er is really dead, you would not be here telling me this, tell me what you want.”
Li Lin Er snickered, “I wonder if Xiao Cheng Ya knows about this? That her own elder brother actually harbored such feelings for her, I wonder if she would feel disgusted?” Li Lin Er chuckled, her maddening look made Xiao Yi Lin rage with killing intent.
“You want to kill me? You can try. But if you do, Xiao Ya Cheng will die.” Li Lin Er looked at Xiao Yi Lin fearlessly. She would rather fight for a small hope, and maybe she could leave this dreadful place and let the rest of the women know her might.
“Someone, take her to the cell in the basement. Make sure she remains alive.” Xiao Yi Lin took a cold look at Li Lin Er and made the order.
Li Lin Er was taken aback, she was sure that Xiao Yi Lin would not dare to do anything to her, but he proved her wrong.
Li Lin Er gave Xiao Yi Lin a deadly glare, she cursed under her breath, “both you and Xiao Yi Lin deserve something worse than death.”
Xiao Yi Lin’s express turned even darker from her cursings, “Take her.”
Xiao Yi Lin watched Li Lin Er get dragged down to the cell. He took another look at the courtyard and ordered, “search around to see if there is any secret pathway.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Yi Lin headed straight to the great General’s residence immediately after he left Li Lin Er’s courtyard.
“I want to see your Madam.” Xiao Yi Lin spoke coldly to the men who were blocking his way.
“They are not seeing any guests now.” The guard spoke as a matter of fact.
“Tell your general, and his wife, that I bring with me news regarding Xiao Cheng Ya, they will understand.” Despite doing so, Nangong Yan would most likely get hold of the news soon, but it was none of his concern, as he did not hold as much power as Ning Meng Yao. Whether or not Xiao Cheng Ya was in Li Lin Er’s courtyard, Ning Meng Yao was the only one with the capability to find her whereabouts.
The guards took a look at Xiao Yi Lin, one of them turned and went into the house.
“Greetings to the General.”
“What is the matter?”
“Duke Xiao request for a meeting with Madam, he said he has news about Xiao Cheng Ya.”
Upon his words, Qiao Tian Chang’s expression changed drastically, he squinted his eyes,“let him in.”
At the same time, Qiao Tian Chang went into Ning Meng Yao’s room and he woke her up, “Wake up, Yao Yao, Xiao Yi Lin is here, he brings news of your mother.”
Ning Meng Yao’s last hinge of sleepiness disappeared with his words. “Is that true?”
Qiao Tian Chang nodded, “most probably.”
Xiao Yi Lin would not dare to use such news to trick them, in other words, the news should be real.
Xiao Yi Lin was already waiting outside when they left the room, his expression showed agitation when he saw Ning Meng Yao walked out.
“Why are you here?” without waiting for Xiao Yi Lin to speak, Ning Meng Yao started the conversation with a cold expression.
The agitation in Xiao Yi Lin eyes turned bitter. “I am here to tell you, your mother was brought away by Li Lin Er, the only thing I know is that she is alive, but I am not sure of her whereabouts nor how to find her.”
Ning Meng Yao looked at Xiao Yi Lin strangely, “How do you know about it?”
“Those words were directly from Li Lin Er’s mouth.” The other news about Xiao Zi Xuan is insignificant when compared to the news about Xiao Cheng Ya.
Ning Meng Yao frowned at Xiao Yi Lin, “Are you sure about the accuracy of the news? If so, why would she tell you? Does she have other motives?”
Xiao Yi Lin frowned, he was so agitated that he completed overlooked this matter, after Xiao Zi Xuan came, Li Lin Er purposely told her that she was not her flesh and blood, she further lured him over for him to overhead her words and let out the truth.
The matter was too simple to the extent that made it suspicious.
“Do you mean she is lying to me?”
“Not exactly, I’m just curious about the reason for her actions.” Ning Meng Yao shook her head and replied strangely.
“I locked her up in the cell.” Xiao Yi Lin spoke abruptly.
“Find a reason to release her, and send someone to observe here.” Ning Meng Yao replied after giving it a thought, “As for the others, I will send my men to investigate further.”
