If it were truly split personality, then these things would make sense. Two personalities exist within one body, and one personality is completely unaware of what the other personality does.
Or perhaps another personality of Ling Mohan had gotten involved with Murong Jinyun, but this current personality was unaware of it.
However, Feng Jin quickly dismissed this speculation entirely. If Ling Mohan truly suffered from split personality, she would have known it long ago.
According to medical standards, the time for different personalities within a body to switch would not exceed a very long period, and she would have been able to detect it. Moreover, Ling Mohan's mental state was very good normally, not showing any signs of problems.
“What is split personality?” Ling Mohan had no idea what Feng Jin was talking about. How did it get to split personality?
“It’s like a type of mental illness,” Feng Jin replied without hesitation. “This is just my guess, and besides, you don’t seem like someone with a mental illness; you seem perfectly healthy.”
“Think carefully, do you truly have no recollection, or have you ever suffered a severe head injury before?”
A significant impact to the head could also lead to memory loss. Feng Jin was guessing all sorts of possibilities.
“I can confirm that I do not know the Princess of Xiliang at all, nor have I been injured. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Gu Beichen to come and testify.”
He then remembered that Gu Beichen had followed him in the battle at Mount Weiyi, and the two of them had been inseparable. Now, the only one who could prove his innocence was Gu Beichen.
“Lu Shi, go and invite Young Master Gu here. We need to clarify the matter first so we can deal with it.”
Feng Jin had seen today that Murong Jinyu would not give up until she achieved her goal. They needed sufficient evidence to prove that Ling Mohan had not secretly pledged himself to Murong Jinyun.
“Lu Shi, hurry up! Dig three feet deep to find Gu Beichen,” Ling Mohan shouted angrily. He was his only witness to prove his innocence.
He was extremely distressed by Murong Jinyun. He had to find a way to prove that this matter had nothing to do with him; he was being framed.
“Your subordinate obeys!”
As Lu Shi finished speaking, a figure flashed, and Lu Shi was no longer outside the door.
After several inquiries, Lu Shi finally found Gu Beichen listening to music in the Cloud Mist Pavilion.
Lu Shi descended from the sky, his face fierce, a saber hanging at his waist, his menacing appearance scaring all the girls as soon as he appeared.
“My lord, which lady has caught your eye? I’ll arrange it for you.” The madam said with a fawning smile, not forgetting to conduct her business even in a life-or-death situation.
Lu Shi quickly took a step back, drew the saber at his waist, and pointed it directly at the madam’s neck, forcing her to retreat a few steps.
“M-My lord, we have no past enmity and no recent grudges. What… what do you mean by this?”
The madam was so frightened that she froze, her words trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Lu Shi maintained his aloof demeanor and squeezed out a few words from his lips: “Back off!”
“Bang! Bang…”
A burst of applause suddenly sounded, and Gu Beichen’s figure became clearer.
“Why aren’t you staying by Ling Mohan’s side? Why are you interested in coming here? Don’t tell me you’ve taken a fancy to a lady. Just tell this young master, and I’ll stand up for you.”
Gu Beichen held a wine pot, his body reeking of alcohol mixed with the scent of rouge, appearing exactly like a patron.
Seeing the person he wanted to see, Lu Shi sheathed his saber and respectfully said to Gu Beichen, “Young Master Gu, my young general requests your presence at the manor for a discussion.”
“It’s already this late. This young master is tired. We can talk about it tomorrow.”
“Young Master Gu, this is a matter of life and death. If you don’t go, my young general will truly be in trouble.”
Lu Shi was aware of the twists and turns of the situation. Today, he absolutely had to take Gu Beichen back with him.
“Let’s talk tomorrow. This young master… Ah! Lu Shi, you brat, put me down!”
Before Gu Beichen could finish speaking, Lu Shi directly picked him up and carried him over his shoulder, then sprinted away.
Upon arriving at Ling’s manor, Lu Shi finally put Gu Beichen down.
Already having drunk a lot, and after Lu Shi’s rough handling, Gu Beichen couldn’t even stand steadily and began to vomit uncontrollably.
“My Lord, be quick! Time waits for no one!” Lu Shi couldn't help but urge him on.
After vomiting all the contents of his stomach, Gu Beichen felt somewhat better.
“Why the rush? If you hadn’t forcibly carried me here, I wouldn’t be like this. Tell me, what is it that’s so urgent?”
He wanted to hear what urgent matter had caused Lu Shi to carry him here like this.
Lu Shi directly recounted the entire sequence of events to Gu Beichen. Even if he didn’t say it now, Gu Beichen would find out later. It was better to tell him first, so he would at least have some idea.
“This is truly interesting. Ling Mohan’s romantic entanglements are truly abundant, one after another, extending all the way to Xiliang.”
Gu Beichen said gloatingly, wishing to see Ling Mohan in trouble.
“My Lord, this is not like before. Stop dawdling and hurry up and go.”
Lu Shi said anxiously, pushing and coaxing Gu Beichen forward.
“Young General, Young Madam, Young Master Gu has arrived.”
After Lu Shi reported, he pushed Gu Beichen inside and then retreated, closing the door behind him.
Gu Beichen looked at the two of them and felt a sudden awkwardness: “Still not asleep at this hour?”
Feng Jin raised her eyebrows and looked at him with the gaze of an idiot, then turned to Ling Mohan, signaling him to speak.
“Three years ago, at Mount Weiyi, did I not see any Princess of Xiliang?”
“Let alone a woman, not even a female mosquito could get close to him, so how could there be a Princess of Xiliang?”
What Gu Beichen said was indeed true. Given Gu Beichen’s usual disposition, he naturally wouldn’t let any women get close to him. He had even suspected that Ling Mohan liked men and had specifically found a beautiful and charming young woman to send to him.
The next morning, he discovered that this beautiful young woman had been tied up like a zongzi and thrown outside the door. He himself was given twenty military strokes and confined to bed for a full half month. Since then, he had not dared to cause trouble for Ling Mohan anymore.
Therefore, when he heard that Ling Mohan had secretly pledged himself to the Princess of Xiliang, he did not believe it for a moment.
“Did you hear that? I am indeed innocent,” Ling Mohan’s tone of voice became firm, and his posture straightened.
