Chapter 419 Found clues
Outside a remote hut in the Mo Gang. The hut is located in a corner of the Mo Gang, surrounded by several tall locust trees with lush branches and leaves, making the hut look a bit eerie. A winding path leads to the hut, which is rarely visited on weekdays, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the silence.
Lin Ruoxue was patrolling the Mo Gang as usual, her eyes were sharp, not missing any corner that might have hidden dangers. As she walked slowly along the quiet path and passed by this remote hut, a faint sound of conversation came into her ears.
She subconsciously slowed down her pace and quietly approached the hut. The voice was very low, as if afraid of being heard by others, but Lin Ruoxue had excellent hearing and was able to keenly capture the key words.
"You said... Is it really possible that Lin Ruoxue is a Khitan? I heard... some things about her childhood seemed to be related to the Khitan..." The slightly hoarse voice carried a hint of doubt and curiosity, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Lin Ruoxue's heart.
Lin Ruoxue's body suddenly stiffened, and her steps stopped instantly. Khitan people? How could she be related to the Khitan people? She grew up in the Central Plains since she was a child, and she always regarded herself as a thorough Central Plains person. The Mo Gang was even more like her home. Now she suddenly heard such news, and she felt dizzy, as if the whole world was turned upside down at this moment.
The younger voice in the room responded with a worried tone: "I'm not too sure, but this matter has been circulating in the gang recently. Think about it, if she is really a Khitan, it may not be a good thing for our Mo Gang..."
Lin Ruoxue bit her lower lip tightly, trying to calm herself down. She knew that she couldn't panic at this moment, and she had to find out what else they knew.
"I heard that when Lin Ruoxue was picked up by the old prime minister, she seemed to have some Khitan items on her body, and she didn't look like an ordinary child from the Central Plains. Maybe she is the descendant of some important figure in Khitan, and she was sent to the Central Plains for some purpose..." The hoarse voice continued, and every word was like a sharp arrow piercing Lin Ruoxue's heart.
Lin Ruoxue became more and more confused. She tried hard to search for her childhood memories in her mind, but her memories at that time were already very vague. She only remembered that she was adopted by the Prime Minister's Mansion when she was very young and was considered the Prime Minister's concubine. She grew up in the Prime Minister's Mansion. She really knew nothing about her previous life experience.
Could it be that... there was really something else behind her life? Could it be that all the past events that she had taken for granted were just a lie? Lin Ruoxue clenched her hands unconsciously, her nails digging deeply into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all. At this moment, the shock and panic in her heart had already overshadowed everything else.
But she had experienced many ups and downs in life, so she soon calmed down. She took a deep breath and quietly moved closer to the hut, wanting to hear more clearly.
"Should we tell Mo Yulin about this? If she is really a Khitan, what if she betrays our Mo Gang and colludes with the Khitan one day? Then we will be in trouble..." The young voice said anxiously. The worry and distrust revealed in the words made Lin Ruoxue feel a pang of pain in her heart.
"Don't be anxious, let's observe and see. After all, this is just a rumor and there is no solid evidence yet. If we tell Mo Yulin now and it turns out to be a mistake, it will not end well..." He persuaded in a hoarse voice, with a hint of caution in his tone.
Lin Ruoxue listened to their conversation with mixed feelings. She was angry about the groundless suspicion and worried about the confusion of her life experience. She knew that she could not be sure that she was a Khitan based on these rumors and vague clues, but she could not ignore these clues.
She secretly made up her mind to find out her own life experience, solve the mystery that was bothering her, and clear her name.
After listening for a while and making sure there was no more useful information, Lin Ruoxue quietly turned around and slowly left along the path she came from. Her steps were still light, but her heart was extremely heavy at the moment. The remote hut gradually disappeared behind her, but the words coming from the hut followed her like a shadow, constantly echoing in her ears, as if it was a nightmare that could not be escaped.
