"lady?"
Seeing that Luo Ran was distracted, Chunyu called out.
"Well, go on, what did you find?"
Luo Ran asked.
Chunyu went to the door first to check, and saw Zizhu and Zifu guarding there. After a few more instructions, she closed the door tightly and came in.
Luo Ran felt a little nervous when he saw her vigilant look.
I heard Chun Yu whisper: "My servant has met a rough lady in the backyard of the Duke's Mansion these past two days. She is responsible for cleaning up the night fragrance in each yard every day."
Luo Ran nodded. There is nothing strange about this. How can people not excrete cereals if they eat them? However, I don't understand why Ye Xiang's mother-in-law is so strange.
Chun Yu continued: "It stands to reason that no one likes that job. But the slave girl saw that the woman not only cleaned herself up every day, but there was no complaint on her face at all. The slave girl was curious one day, and then asked: Mammy, you are getting older, why don’t you find a more leisurely job. Madam, what do you think the old woman said? "
Luo Ran: "How do you say that?"
Chunyu said: "The old woman said that this job is her favorite now. Although it is a bit dirty, it is because others think she is dirty that she can live peacefully."
Chun Yu added: "But I have inquired and found out that this woman was not originally doing this job, but was from the old lady's yard. She was kicked out after she made a mistake."
Luo Ran glanced at her and motioned for her to continue: "There is nothing wrong with this woman. She may have gotten older in the past two years. She likes to drink a few sips of wine when she is tired from work. I heard that she is an old lady. The people around me thought that they might know about Madam Xie, so they bought her a few drinks, but I didn’t expect that my slave actually asked about her just now!”
It is fragrant and fragrant at night. Only those who do this job are busy in the early morning. After finishing their work, they can go to bed. This woman was afraid of delaying her work, so she always drank some wine after finishing her work in the morning. Chun Yu happened to bump into her, and they chatted for a while.
Chunyu lowered her voice, and said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "That woman said that you are not the Duke's biological son!"
Although Luo Ran had already guessed it, he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it at first.
She had learned some things about his childhood from Lu Jiuchen's mouth before. At that time, she wondered if he was her biological child.
But that was just an idea born out of anger.
But thinking about the place where Xie Nianyi was buried alone, it seems that it is not surprising that he is not Fu Yi's biological child.
"what else?"
Luo Ran asked softly again.
Chunyu shook his head: "I don't dare to inquire too much for fear of arousing suspicion. This is the reason why the woman drank too much and told the slave why she was not on duty with the old lady. First, it was because the old lady had a weird temperament after she fell ill. , not many people can bear it. In addition, she remembered that when the old Duke Jing was still alive, he told the old lady that as long as he lived, he would not be allowed to drive him out of the Fu family. Otherwise, the Fu family would be in disaster! Madam I was afraid of the commander-in-chief, and even more afraid of being implicated if the matter was revealed, so I made a deliberate mistake and was kicked out."
If he is not his biological child, he is not allowed to be kicked out of the Fu family.
Luo Ran chewed these words over and over in her mind, always feeling that she had overlooked something.
On the second day, Luo Ran and Yue Wanhe made an appointment to meet at the palace gate and enter the palace together.
When Luo Ran arrived, Yue Wanhe happened to have just arrived.
Fu Jin'an, dressed in Feiyu uniform, got out of the carriage first, turned around and stretched out his hand. In an instant, a white and soft little hand was placed in his palm. Fu Jin'an's other hand supported her waist and took her down steadily.
Luo Ran looked up and saw Yue Wanhe looking this way with a smile, blushing slightly, and whispered: "Okay, go and do your work."
Fu Jin'an did not leave immediately, but waited for Yue Wanhe to come forward and then said: "I'll leave Ran'er to you. If anything happens, go to Jiuchen. He is on duty today."
"Okay. Brother Fu."
Yue Wanhe responded with a smile.
Fu Jinan nodded and looked at Youqing and Zifu with stern eyes: "Take good care of Madam. If Madam is missing a hair, you will come back to get it for you!"
"Yes, I have remembered it."
Youqing and Zifu said in unison.
Fu Jinan turned around, immediately changed his face, and said in a gentle tone: "I'm at the guardhouse. I'll pick you up later."
"Um."
Luo Ran also obediently agreed.
After they left, Yue Wanhe took her arm and teased: "They say you were unwilling to marry Brother Fu, and your sister-in-law is always worried about you these days, but it seems to me that Brother Fu is eager to marry you. You hold it in the palm of your hand and dote on it!"
Luo Ran glanced at her coquettishly: "Sister Wan, I don't care if others laugh at me, but you still come to make fun of me!"
Yue Wanhe couldn't help but laugh. After laughing, he said with some melancholy: "Actually, as long as he treats you well, nothing else matters. No matter what others say!"
The two of them walked towards the palace as they talked.
Luo Ran glanced at Yue Wanhe's side face and remembered her thoughts about her cousin. He couldn't help but hold her hand and said: "Sister Wan is right. It's not easy for a woman in this life. Marrying and having children are not ours." We can't control it, but what we can do is try our best to live a good life now, so as not to worry those who care about us, and not to let ourselves have regrets in the future."
This was something that took her two lifetimes to figure out.
Why didn't Yue Wanhe understand what she meant? He smiled and said: "I understand. Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid. What's more, the prince is easy to get along with. As long as I keep my duty as a prince, no one will do anything stupid." You can’t do anything to me.”
An unmarried girl has no shyness on her face when she talks about what happened after getting married.
Neither of them spoke. Seeing that they were about to arrive at Fengluan Palace, Yue Wanhe suddenly stopped, looked into Luo Ran's eyes, and said seriously: "Ranran, although Brother Fu and I have known each other earlier than you, I'm I regard you as a younger sister in my heart. It’s not that Sister Wan is looking forward to you. Although Brother Fu looks doting on you and respecting you now, a man’s heart can change. If he is like this today, who knows whether he will treat others tomorrow. Women are like this too. So Ranran, guard your heart and protect yourself."
After saying that, he stepped across the threshold of Fengluan Palace, with his head held high and his chest held high, and Luo Ran seemed to see the Crown Princess in heavy official attire.
My heart was pinched hard, for Yue Wanhe and my cousin.
When the queen saw the two of them coming in together, she skipped the ceremony and called them to her side, holding one by the other. Her eyes were full of indescribable joy.
"Okay, okay, that's great. As soon as I saw you, I remembered that when I was your age, I had three or five good friends, but...hey, I won't talk about it anymore, it's all a matter of sesame seeds and rotten millet. .”
The queen turned to look at Luo Ran and asked, "How have you been, Shan Ning, these days? Did Mr. Fu make you angry?"
When he said this, his eyes were full of consideration.
Yue Wanhe was also a little strange and looked at Luo Ran in confusion.
