After rebirth, my elder sister wants to steal my husband!

Chapter 256 Investigation

After Qing'er left, the room suddenly fell into a subtle silence.

Lu Zhiran stood by the door, her heart was surging, but she tried to keep calm on the surface. She knew that every action and every word she made at this moment might affect the situation in the future.

Ding Liang was sitting at the table. He was wearing a moon-white robe, the hem of his clothes swaying in the wind, making him look elegant and calm.

He had a handsome face and a heroic look between his eyebrows, but at the moment he looked a little embarrassed because of the wound on his neck. He blew the foam on the tea surface gently, and the action seemed leisurely, but it revealed a kind of majesty that could not be ignored.

Lu Zhiran took a deep breath and walked in front of Ding Liang. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look directly into his eyes. Her heart was full of contradictions. On the one hand, she didn't want to bow to Ding Liang, but on the other hand, she had to face the fact that she was the one who caused the wound on Ding Liang's neck.

Ding Liang put down the teacup and looked up at Lu Zhiran. His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts. He said calmly, "Tell me! What are you going to do about the wound on my neck?"

Lu Zhiran's heart tightened. She knew that Ding Liang was putting pressure on her and testing her attitude. She took a deep breath, raised her head to meet Ding Liang's gaze, and said firmly: "Mr. Ding, I have no intention of hurting you. What happened yesterday was purely a misunderstanding."

Ding Liang raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He seemed to be dissatisfied with Lu Zhiran's answer. He sneered and said, "Misunderstanding? Do you think a misunderstanding can offset the harm you have done to me?"

Lu Zhiran's heart sank. She knew that Ding Liang would not let her go easily. She took a deep breath and continued, "I know I can't undo the damage I've done to you, but I can do my best to make up for it. Whatever you want, whether it's money or status, as long as I can do it, I'm willing to do it for you."

Ding Liang looked at Lu Zhiran, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. He chuckled and said, "Oh? Money and status? What do you think I lack?"

Ding Liang is the younger brother of the emperor's most beloved concubine.

How could a royal relative lack money and status?

What he wants is Lu Zhiran!

I don’t know what’s wrong with this guy. He’s obviously not very good-looking, and he’s only met her once in a casino.

It's impossible to be love at first sight. We only met once in the casino, and it's impossible to fall in love over time.

It must be Fu Yuzhang's fault. He and Ding Liang are sworn enemies, so Ding Liang brought her here just to humiliate Fu Yuzhang. This is the most reasonable thing.

At this moment, Lu Zhiran felt that he was extremely unlucky.

"I know you don't need these things. I know you brought me here, saying that you want me, but in fact you want revenge on Fu Yuzhang, right?"

"I am Fu Yuzhang's wife. Do you think you can defeat him just by taking Fu Yuzhang's woman?"

Ding Liang finally sat quietly in the chair, looking at Lu Zhiran's confident look.

Listening to the bamboo leaves outside the window swaying in the wind, making rustling sounds, adds a touch of liveliness to the quiet atmosphere.

He just felt that Lu Zhiran really made him more and more interested.

Ding Liang said nothing, but just looked at Lu Zhiran intently.

It made Lu Zhiran feel uneasy.

Lu Zhiran was wearing a light-colored dress, and her long hair fell to her waist like a waterfall. Although her appearance was not stunning, she had a refined temperament.

However, at this moment, her heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

Ding Liang looked at Lu Zhiran, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

He gently played with the jade cup in his hand, with a faint smile on his face, as if he was appreciating a work of art. He opened his red lips slightly, and said in a low and magnetic voice: "Oh? So this is why you think I brought you here."

When Lu Zhiran heard this, his heart tightened.

She took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, and replied: "I can't think of any other reason."

Ding Liang put down the jade cup and looked directly at Lu Zhiran, as if he wanted to see through her heart.

He smiled slightly and said, "Unfortunately you are wrong. What I want is you as a person."

"Revenge for Fu Yuzhang is only a secondary reason. The main reason is you?"

"Get the token of the Third Prince, go to a dangerous place like Chengguan alone, take back Zhang's property, and kill people to silence them!"

"Lu Zhiran, you are very capable."

Lu Zhiran was shocked when he heard this.

She didn't expect that Ding Liang actually knew what she had done.

An inexplicable fear surged in her heart.

"How do you know all this?" Lu Zhiran said in disbelief.

Ding Liang smiled and said, "As the younger brother of the imperial concubine, how could he not have some other abilities!"

He said it lightly, as if everything was under his control.

Lu Zhiran took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that she could no longer be led by Ding Liang and had to find out his true intentions.

"You're investigating me?" There was a hint of coldness in Lu Zhiran's voice.

Ding Liang nodded and admitted frankly: "Yes, I investigated you." His eyes wandered over Lu Zhiran, as if he was appreciating a work of art.

"Any questions?"

It was as if he was talking about an insignificant little thing.

It makes people angry and helpless.

A chill surged in Lu Zhiran's heart. She didn't expect that her whereabouts and actions were known to Ding Liang in such detail.

She felt an unprecedented pressure, as if she was being tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand.

"Why are you investigating me?" Lu Zhiran asked with a hint of questioning in his voice.

Ding Liang smiled, and there was a mysterious air in his smile. "Because I'm interested in you." He said bluntly, "You are not only brave and resourceful, but also extremely smart. How could I not be interested in a woman like this?"

Lu Zhiran was even more confused when she heard this. She didn't understand why Ding Liang was so interested in her. She felt that she and Ding Liang had nothing in common.

"I don't understand what you mean." Lu Zhiran said frankly, "I am just an ordinary woman and have nothing to do with you."

Ding Liang looked at Lu Zhiran, with a complex emotion in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Maybe, there is no direct connection between us. But, what you did caught my attention."

"At first I was just curious, how could you be willing to sacrifice everything for someone like Fu Yuzhang."

"Later, I realized that you are not simple at all! How could I not be moved by a woman like you?"

Lu Zhiran was so shocked by Ding Liang's words that he was speechless.

She didn't expect that the incident at the gambling house would attract Ding Liang's attention.
