Gu Xijiu’s heart shook with discomfort. According to Di Fuyi, Lan Jingjing used to love Lan Jingke. Although Gu Xijiu had many memories of Lan Jingke, most of them were fragmented. They had no connection at all. Among these fragmented memories, there were hardly any stories about Lan Jingjing. Only two or three images popped into Gu Xijiu’s mind.
Therefore, Gu Xijiu did not know much about this lady. She knew how she looked like, but she could not recall the relationship between Lan Jingke and Lan Jingjing.
“About Lan Jingjing… is she still alive? Where is she? I want to visit her.” Gu Xijiu told Lan Yaoguang her intention.
Lan Yaoguang shook his head in dismay. “Sister, you can’t see her. She’s dead.”
Gu Xijiu was stunned. “How did she die?”
“She married a general according to her parent’s wishes. The general did not treat her well and always hit her. He did not stop even when she was in her early stage of pregnancy, and she ended up having a miscarriage. She died from the incident as she bled too much.”
Gu Xijiu continued, “What about the general?”
“He had been executed. Brother Huang gave the order personally.”
“What did this happen?”
“About 5,000 years ago. I cannot remember the exact time. It happened about the time when you just passed away.”
Gu Xijiu’s heart was slightly sinking. If Lan Jingjing was truly the secret lover of Lan Jingke, how could she marry someone else so quickly?
Gu Xijiu kept firing questions at Lan Yaoguang. However, she did not realize that Lan Yaoguang was still very young during those incidents. He hardly knew anything about Lan Jinjing other than the fact that they were close friends.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Lan Yaoguang’s eyes repeatedly blinking. She was startled. “Why are you looking at me this way?”
“Sister, you suddenly asked about Lan Jingjing. Did you have a sudden realization?” Lan Yaoguang looked at her with hope. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. “Sister, you still have a few friends here. Do you want to see them? You had good relationships with a few people here. Before you died, you asked Brother Huang to take care of them. All of them are living well now, and two of them are even the generals of mermaid clan. If you want to meet them, I can make some arrangements.”
Gu Xijiu was silent for a moment and finally nodded. “Go ahead!”
Lan Yaoguang was very efficient. After two hours, he called up the five friends of Lan Jingke in the past. Most of them were females.
Gu Xijiu was quite good at asking questions. She could be compared to professional criminal investigators. She chatted with those people for a long time and wanted to learn about the relationship between Lan Jingjing and Lan Jingke from their point of view. However, after going at it repeatedly, there was still no useful information. In their eyes, Lan Jingjing and Lan Jingke were not very close.
In the eyes of one of the female generals, she felt that Lan Jingjing was too soft natured to be friends with Lan Jingke. Lan Jingke was kind to Lan Jingjing merely because their life experiences were slightly similar, so she sympathized with her and became her friend.
After Lan Jingke died, all these friends were very sad and could not escape their grief. Meanwhile, Lan Jingke got married the next year. Lan Jinjing had a very grand ceremony and was dressed in vibrant red during her big day. Most of Lan Jingke’s friends thought that Lan Jingjing was quite heartless.
All in all, none of these people knew that Lan Jingke and Lan Jingjing once had an ambiguous relationship.
