Miss Truth

In Yingmei Temple, the nun stared at the handsome man lying on Ran Yan’s bed, shocked for a long time before she regained her senses and asked in a trembling voice, "Wife, who is this man?"

Ran Yan answered distractedly, "A friend."

She looked at the plain white handkerchief in her hand, puzzled. Why hadn’t Xiao Song arrested Su Fu? Wasn’t he supposed to capture major criminals for the Court?

"Wife!" The nun sighed heavily. She felt that the wife was becoming more and more worrisome these days, although she had never been easy to handle before.

However, seeing Su Fu barely clinging to life, the nun didn’t say much in admonishment; upon seeing blood stains on the bed, she went out to fetch water.

Carrying water back, she wrung out the handkerchief to help clean Su Fu, meanwhile clearing the blood from the blankets, all the while fretting over what chaos this might cause if Mr. Gao learned of this matter. After much thought, she couldn’t help expressing, "Wife should not keep this gentleman here. Word might get out..."

"Once his condition stabilizes a little, I’ll move him to another location," Ran Yan responded.

"That’s the only option." It was a matter of life and death, and the nun had to compromise.

"Wife!" Just as the conversation in the room concluded, a servant called from outside, "Inspector Xiao has sent a doctor to examine you."

Ran Yan’s heart tightened then relaxed. She stood up, draped on a satin dress, and walked to the outer chamber, "Please invite the doctor in."
