"Sir, the lady is coming this way."
Changying came in to interpret.
"Just say I'm not here."
Fu Jinan said coldly without raising his head.
Changying was stunned. He didn't understand why he seemed to be a different person at such a young age when he was fine just now. I've never heard of a young couple having any conflicts.
"What, can't you understand?"
Fu Jinan looked at the long shadow standing at the door and said coldly.
"Yes, I understand."
Changying came to his senses and quickly exited, closing the door.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, my lord is out for something."
Changying said bravely.
Luo Ran looked at the closed door of the study, then at Changying and Changyun, suddenly smiled and said, "In that case, I won't bother you."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Changying touched the sweat on his forehead, turned around and asked Changyun: "What did Madam mean by that smile just now?"
Changyun also shook his head. He had less contact with his wife than he did.
On the way back, Youqing looked at Luo Ran's serious face and whispered: "Madam, when you go out, why are Changying and Changyun not following you?"
"Ha. He just doesn't want to see me."
Luo Ran said softly.
Qingxin tightened again and said, "Why? We didn't offend you, sir? Why doesn't he want to see Madam?"
Luo Ran lowered his thick eyebrows lightly: "I don't know."
She didn't want to think about him right now.
In fact, Luo Ran himself knew that his temperament was actually not likable. She is not as lively and agile as Shen Xiqing and Lu Yuanyuan, nor is she as gentle and graceful as Yue Wanhe. Even compared to Luo Ruxue, she is not as courageous and proactive.
So after experiencing the tragedy in her previous life, she wrapped herself up tightly like a silkworm chrysalis.
But at some point, that person was like a robber, squeezing his way into her life, peeling away her cocoon layer by layer. But when she decided to take a step forward, the person suddenly became cold again, and she had no choice but to return. I retreated, not even having the courage to open the door.
"Youqing, go and send a message to your aunt, saying that I will visit her the next day."
Luo Ran returned to the house and ordered.
"Why."
Youqing looked at her worriedly and turned around to go out.
After Luo Ran left, Chang Ying thought for a moment and then went in bravely: "Sir, Madam has gone back."
Fu Jinan paused with the pen in his hand and responded lightly: "Yes."
Keep writing.
After Chang Ying went out, Fu Jinan put down his pen and looked out the window. No one knew how much he had just expected her to break in willfully. Just like when he heard Lu Jiuchen say that she doubted his life experience, he had several times in the carriage. This is the first time I want her to ask herself.
But she didn't even ask.
She was like a turtle with a hard shell. Every time he tried to test her, she would immediately retreat.
After a long while, Fu Jinan shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said to himself, "Oh, it seems I'm still impatient."
Step out.
-
The dark and damp dungeon is filled with a strong smell of blood as soon as you enter, as well as the sound of rats gnawing. Fu Jinan stood in front of an iron gate and said, "Open the door."
The guard guarding the door quickly took out the key and opened the heavy iron door.
The creaking sound of the iron gate startled the mice, who squeaked and fled. One of them ran the wrong way in panic, climbed up along a pillar, and slipped into the collar of the person tied to the pillar. Suddenly, a miserable roar came from the dungeon.
"Ah! Get out! Get away!"
The body of the person on the pillar kept twisting, his pupils were dilated, and his face showed a look of horror.
The guard at the door brought a chair in and placed it not far away.
Fu Jin'an lifted up his robe and sat down, reaching out to smooth the hem of his clothes. His movements were elegant, and his gestures showed nobility.
"Long Shadow."
Fu Jinan called out softly.
"yes."
Changying stepped forward, put his hands behind his back, and said loudly: "Lin Shoucheng, thirty-five years old, his father passed away eight years ago, and he still has a sixty-year-old mother, three sons and four daughters, and a wife..."
Lin Shoucheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and begged for mercy with a trembling voice: "I say, I say!"
Changying looked at him expressionlessly and said, "You are already a dead person to the outside world. If you don't want your wife, children, and children to be buried with you, you'd better tell the truth."
Lin Shoucheng lowered his head dejectedly.
Fu Jinan was not in a hurry. He took out a piece of raw jade from his arms, and then took out a sharp carving knife and started carving it here.
In the silent dungeon, in addition to the sound of rats gnawing, there was also the sound of the blade colliding with jade, click, click. Every touch was creepy.
Finally, Lin Shoucheng finally said: "Yes, it's Duke Jingguo."
Fu Jin calmed down and looked at the jade that still had no appearance. He shook his head regretfully and said, "It's a pity."
He slowly raised his head, glanced at Lin Shoucheng, and said quietly: "What did he ask you to do?"
Lin Shoucheng hesitated for a moment and said: "He asked me to follow the champion because the prince was vigilant. The prince has not asked me to do anything in these years. He only asked me to gain the trust of the prince and said that when the time comes, he will I will be allowed to take Mr. Hou’s place.”
"you?"
Fu Jinan laughed disdainfully and said, "What else?"
Lin Shoucheng shook his head: "There is nothing."
Fu Jinan raised his eyebrows, stood up and left.
Lin Shoucheng shouted at his back: "Master Fu, may I know how you discovered me?"
The poisoning was completely non-existent, and it was clearly planned by the commander!
Fu Jinan looked back at him and softly uttered three words: "Are you worthy?"
Lin Shoucheng lowered his head dejectedly.
After leaving the dungeon, Fu Jinan went to the study to take a shower, changed his clothes, and made sure that there was no unpleasant smell on his body before walking to the main courtyard.
On the way, Changying asked: "Sir, what should I do with that person?"
Fu Jinan thought for a moment and said, "Stay here for a while."
Changying: "Yes."
Fu Jinan glanced at the sky and said, "It's the Duke's birthday soon."
Changying said without even thinking, "Yes, Duke Jingguo's birthday is on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month."
Fu Jin'an nodded: "Except for Lin Shoucheng's mother and several children, all the others related to it should be killed. For the Duke's birthday, there are still a few lanterns missing."
His voice was gentle, as if he was sincerely preparing a birthday gift for someone.
Changying seemed to be used to it, nodded calmly, and said: "In a few days, it will be the first birthday party of the young lady and the young master. What are you going to do?"
Fu Jinan frowned and thought about it seriously, then said, "Let me ask Madam."
Changying silently made a note in his mind: If anything happens in the future, if he can't make the decision, he will go to his wife. Even if he does something wrong, he will be punished less if his wife is in his way.
Just when I was feeling proud, I heard a cool voice coming from above my head: "Don't bother Madam with anything."
Changying was startled: Can adults have the ability to read minds?
He quickly straightened his back and said loudly: "I don't dare!"
