Shen Yuzhi shook his head: "I can't tell."
He glanced at Luo Ran and did not hide his thoughts: "At first, I thought it was Fu Jinan who did it, but before he died, the man left a blood letter saying that I asked him to identify Fu Jinan. This doesn't make sense."
For a moment, no one spoke. After a while, Luo Ran said: "I think this matter has nothing to do with him, but Lin Shoucheng's matter may have something to do with him."
Shen Boli and Shen Yuzhi all looked at her.
Luo Ran thought for a moment and said, "Because he asked me to remind dad about Lin Shoucheng's incident before. Maybe someone wanted to use Lin Shoucheng for something, and he found out, so..."
So Lin Shoucheng was killed by him.
Shen Yuzhi nodded and said: "I think Ranran is right. The poison must have been introduced into the Champion House through his hands. There is no doubt about it. Moreover, Lin Shoucheng should have been exposed first, so the people behind the scenes simply Use this person to lead the conflict to the Fu Luo family, and of course, bring the Shen family in as well."
Shen Boli nodded.
Luo Ran suddenly said: "If you hadn't caught this person, my father would have followed this person to find Lin Shoucheng. At this time, Lin Shoucheng had been killed by Fu Jinan. Anyone else would think that he was trying to eradicate the root cause. !”
Shen Yuzhi and his father looked at each other, neither of them said anything. Finally, Shen Yuzhi asked, "Do you really believe that he did not instigate the poison?"
Luo Ran shook his head. If the same poison had not come from Luo Ruxue in the previous life, maybe she would have been so suspicious. In addition, Fu Jinan half-forced herself to marry him. When the time comes when the couple separates, others will naturally take advantage of it.
But she couldn't tell her uncle and cousin all this. She could only say: "Lin Shoucheng did betray dad. Dad also knew about it. He found out and told dad about it. If he wanted to harm me, he wouldn't use Lin Shoucheng. Keep it intact.”
Shen Boli nodded, stroking his beard and said, "It seems that the other party just made a fuss about his death."
Luo Ran suddenly said: "Cousin, can you do me a favor for a while?"
Shen Yuzhi: "Why are you so polite to me?"
Luo Ran smiled slightly: "Since the other party wants to see us at odds, then we will show it to them."
Shen Yuzhi instantly understood what she meant and raised his eyebrows with interest: "Okay. But you're not worried about him..."
Luo Ran showed a rare naughty side and tilted his head: "You'll know after you try it."

Lu Jiuchen was on duty here. He didn't even return to Prince Qing's Mansion and went straight to Fu Mansion.
After dismounting, he threw away the reins casually and stepped inside.
Chang Yunli saw the hurried young prince from afar and rushed to greet him. Before he could speak, he heard Lu Jiuchen ask: "Where are you adults?"
Changyun: "Go back to the young prince. Your Excellency is inside."
Just as Lu Jiuchen was about to push the door open, he stopped when he remembered something and asked, "Where is your wife?"
Changyun answered truthfully: "Madam just went to Shen's house, she should be here by now."
"broken!"
Lu Jiuchen slapped his thigh and went in to find someone drinking tea leisurely. He sat down opposite him and asked, "Have you heard about the morning meeting?"
Fu Jinan flipped the lid of the tea cup, and the mist rising from the tea cup made people feel warm, "Yeah."
He responded lightly.
Lu Jiuchen's eyes widened: "Knowing that you still let her go to Shen's house?"
Fu Jinan finally opened his eyelids and glanced at him lazily: "What else? Tie her hands and feet?"
Lu Jiuchen choked and said, "But aren't you worried that she will think that you were the one who administered the poison?"
Worry, how can you not worry.
If he wasn't worried, he wouldn't have sat in the study for half the morning, doing nothing. But sometimes the more worried he is, the calmer he acts.
Lu Jiuchen looked at him with his eyes lowered and said nothing, and said bitterly: "It must be that bastard Liu Zimo! You hurt him last time, and he deliberately took revenge on you!"
Liu Zimo is the youngest son of Marquis Kangle and the biological brother of Concubine Liu.
Kang Lehou and his eldest son were mediocre and incompetent, but this younger son was promising. When he was a teenager, he followed the army and was stationed in the northwest, and had frequent contacts with King Xisu.
He is also a cruel and scheming master. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to thrive under the nose of King Xisu.
No, last year Concubine Liu Guifei blew a pillow in front of the emperor and said she missed her younger brother. The emperor also promised her that she would call Liu Zimo back to Beijing at the end of this year and entrust her with important tasks.
A few months ago, when Fu Jinan was out of Beijing on business, the two of them met somehow and got into a fight. Liu Zimo was seriously injured and almost lost half his life.
Lu Jiuchen then concluded that Liu Zimo was the one causing the trouble.
Fu Jinan laughed: "There are still people who want to fish in troubled waters."
Lu Jiuchen was surprised: "You mean the queen?"
Fu Jinan shook the tea cup in his hand and said softly: "She may know that the child was still alive."
Lu Jiuchen was speechless for a moment.

Luo Ran and Shen Yuzhi came out of his uncle's study. Shen Yuzhi stared at her profile and finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay?"
Luo Ran looked up at his cousin and smiled bitterly: "What is good and what is bad?"
He paused and then said: "Compared to ordinary people, I have to take care of myself every morning and dusk, serve my parents-in-law, and care for my sister-in-law. I am doing well after all. Except for the second day after we got married, he never let me go to the east courtyard to get married. The rules, actually speaking, make you feel a little more comfortable than before you were married."
"But what?"
Shen Yuzhi answered.
Luo Ran smiled, his eyes a little confused, and shook his head: "I can't tell, I always feel like there is something missing."
Of course Shen Yuzhi knew what the shortcomings were, but they were just the love between a man and a woman, and they were happy with each other.
"By the way, cousin, have you heard about the former Duke of Jingguo's wife Xie Nianyi?"
Luo Ran asked suddenly.
Shen Yuzhi thought for a moment and shook his head: "But ask your grandmother and mother, they might know."
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"
Luo Ran was pleasantly surprised, patted his forehead and said, "No wonder my cousin always laughed at me before for being pregnant for three years. It's true."
Shen Yuzhi smiled: "You just didn't think of it for a moment. Why did you think of asking her?"
Luo Ran said: "It's nothing, I'm just a little curious."
Shen Yuzhi looked at her deeply but said nothing.
Arriving at her grandmother's yard, Luo Ran asked about it.
Mrs. Shen: "Xie Nianyi? I have some impressions. I just remember that she was a very gentle woman who didn't seem to like to talk much. Mrs. Jing Guo Gong was still in good health at that time. Old Jing Guo Gong was also there. I met her by chance when she was a guest. Once, but it seems that the Fu family doesn't like her, and she doesn't like to show up, so over the years, very few people in Beijing have seen her."
Luo Ran said: "I heard that she is the daughter of the Xie family of Chen County."
Mrs. Shen was a little surprised at this: "Oh? No wonder the temperament looks different. It turns out that he comes from a famous family."
Wang was also surprised and asked: "The Xie family of Chen County? Doesn't that mean they are the same family as Xie Hang, Minister of the Ministry of War? But why haven't I heard from the Xie family?"
Luo Ran then told the story that Xie Nianyi escaped from the Xie family privately and changed her name. Only then did Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Wang suddenly realize.
Mrs. Shen patted her thigh and said, "At the beginning, everyone said that this woman was stunningly beautiful. Fu Yi almost fell out with the old Duke Jing because of her. After he got married, he was even more reluctant to let her come out to see others, and hid in the house all day. , turns out I’m afraid that people will find out!”
Wang didn't think so, and curled her lips and said: "Some people say that it was the old Duke of Jing who made the decision to marry Fu Yi. But according to his mother, Fu Yi should treat the mother and son better, so why did Marquis Yongding give him the favor in the end? That child."
Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen suddenly felt a little sympathy for Fu Jinan.
