In the room, Yuan Shuyi was sitting on the couch, and Luo Deyun was sitting opposite him. He might have just taken a bath, and water was still dripping from the ends of his hair, soaking his brocade robe.
Yuan Shuyi was worried that he would catch a cold and said, "You'd better change your clothes first."
Luo Deyun didn't move, looked at her and said: "I really haven't touched her with a finger!"
"Um."
Yuan Shuyi lowered his head and responded softly.
Luo Deyun's body has not been completely cleared of the soul-sucking incense. He just soaked in a whole basin of ice water to calm down. When he heard that Yuan Shuyi was back, he couldn't wait to come over. His head was still a little unclear, and he looked at Yuan Shuyi's exposure to him. The top of my head, I wish I could swear.
"What do you have to do to believe it?"
Yuan Shuyi raised his head blankly: "I don't believe you."
Then he pointed at his back and said, "Your clothes are wet. If you don't change them, you'll catch a cold."
Lord shook his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up. He looked at her eyes carefully and saw that they were clear. He felt relieved. However, when he thought about it, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Why do you believe me so much?"
"ah?"
Yuan Shuyi was stunned. If you believe it, you believe it. If you don’t believe it, you don’t believe it. Do you need a reason?
However, seeing the rare persistence of the man opposite him, he thought about it seriously and said: "As a Marquis, you must have a lot of women if you want concubines. You won't, you won't..."
It wouldn't be so embarrassing for her.
Luo Deyun frowned slightly: "That's all?"
Yuan Shuyi was a little confused: "What else?"
Luo Deyun was so dizzy that he didn't know what he wanted to hear, but it was definitely not this.
Yuan Shuyi had not had time to take a shower when she came back from the palace. The delicate makeup on her face was still there. The sunlight shone on her face through the window lattice, and she seemed to be able to see the thin layer of down on it.
Luo Deyun suddenly thought of Xiao Qing Ning's tender cheeks, which were soft and smooth against her. Every time he held her in his arms, he couldn't help but admire her for a long time.
Although the woman in front of him was his wife, and the two of them performed Zhou Gong's courtesy like an ordinary couple at night, but as long as it was daytime, they always treated each other with respect and felt like they were missing something.
With his fingertips moving slightly, Luo Deyun suddenly wanted to know, what would it feel like if Bai Ri held her underneath him?
The residual medicinal properties in his body suddenly surged like spring grass. He no longer cared about his image as a majestic marquis. With a long arm, Yuan Shuyi exclaimed. He was firmly held in the man's arms and strode towards the bed.
Looking at the man's scarlet eyes, Yuan Shuyi panicked. He wanted to struggle but was afraid of hurting the fetus in his belly. He shouted in a panic: "Let me go!"
Sure enough, Luo Deyun was stunned, obviously not expecting that she would talk to him in such a tone.
Not only was he not angry, but it aroused his possessiveness even more. Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Granny Shi bravely came in and said: "Master Marquis, Madam is pregnant..."
"What?"
Luo Deyun stood there, somewhat unable to hear clearly.
Yuan Shuyi took the opportunity to jump down, and Luo Deyun instinctively put his arms around her waist, staring at her belly with burning eyes, and his voice was a little hoarse: "What did she just say?"
With Luo Ran's previous support, Yuan Shuyi was not worried about his opinion at all, and said with a blushing face: "What the doctor said has been more than a month."
Luo Deyun:......
When Luo Ran arrived, she heard her father's hearty laughter in the house. It was laughter that she had not heard for a long time.
She stopped Lu Rong from going in to report, gave Lu Rong a few words and left.
Not long after returning to Ningxiang Garden, she heard about Li's move to the Buddhist temple in the side courtyard. As for the details, she was not interested at all.
What she was concerned about now was who spread the rumor.
It turned out that after returning from the palace, Chunyu followed her instructions and went to the Li family to find out what Li Xinyue meant by those words.
After coming back, when passing by Jiuhua Lane, he heard two women whispering. Chunyu listened carefully for a while. Once he heard that it was about the county lord, the young lady and the young master, he immediately came back without delay.
Luo Ran said: "You mean, Mr. Liu got sick from fright?"
Chunyu nodded: "Yes, I don't know who sent it to the Li family. Mrs. Li opened the box herself. At that time, the two tongues were not dead. I heard that they almost jumped on Mrs. Li's face, scaring her on the spot. Passed out."
Luo Ran frowned, not understanding what this matter had to do with him, but thinking about Li Xinyue's expression at that time, it was clear that she was definitely the one who did it.
Chunyu didn't quite understand, and asked, "Could it have something to do with that rumor?"
"What rumors?"
Luo Ran asked.
Chun Yu then said what he heard when passing by Jiuhua Lane, and said: "The two women slaves have also been brought back. Miss, do you want to ask?"
Luo Ran nodded: "Bring it."
The two women were brought in quickly. They were dressed in coarse cloth. They looked like ordinary people. It was probably their first time to come to such a wealthy family. They were so frightened that they could not speak clearly.
Luo Ran asked several times before he was sure: "Are you saying that someone specifically told you to say this?"
One of the women trembled and said: "Hui, the county master is indeed a man in his twenties wearing a brocade robe. He gave us ten taels of silver and asked us to talk while there were not too many people. He said that the two children you adopted, Lord County, are not orphans of soldiers at all, but are your own biological children."
After saying that, I didn't even dare to raise my head, and kept kowtowing to admit my mistake. I felt so regretful that I didn't dare to covet ten taels of silver, otherwise my life would be lost in this life.
"I beg the county lord to spare my life, the women will never dare to do it again..."
"The civilian woman didn't dare anymore and asked the county boss to see clearly. The civilian woman only said a few words and then she met the girl..."
Another woman also kowtowed.
Luo Ran: "Okay. Chunyu, take them down."
After the two were taken away, Youqing was a little worried and said, "Miss, do you want to tell Mr. Marquis about this?"
Luo Ran shook his head. As expected, the man in brocade robes must be Chang Ying. Since he didn't even bother to pretend, that person must have let her know on purpose.
As for the rumors, she had actually been prepared from the day the child was born, and sooner or later it would be exposed.
After thinking about it, he still called Qingchuan: "Go and inquire again and find out when this rumor started spreading."
The next day, Qingchuan came back and reported: "The first time this rumor spread was about twenty days ago, that is, the day after Mr. Li's accident. But before it could spread, the eldest son of the Duke of Jingguo was killed. I took it away."
"Fu Shiheng?"
This result really surprised Luo Ran.
Qingchuan nodded: "In addition to Prince Fu, there was another person who was also investigating at the time."
Luo Ran: "Who?"
Qingchuan: "Master Song Qingyu Song was edited by Hanlin Academy."
Only then did Luo Ran understand why the two of them appeared together near the house in Jiuhua Lane that day.
"Spring Rain."
Luo Ran called out: "Come with me to Zuixian Tower."
