When Luo Ran came out, Fu Jinan was sitting on the edge of the couch with his eyes down, not knowing what to think.
Hearing the noise and looking up, his eyes were blank for a moment, like a child who didn't understand the world.
Looking at him, Luo Ran's mind immediately recalled how Jing Xing was sometimes bullied by his sister, feeling aggrieved and forbearing, which made her feel a little distressed.
Before she could say any words of comfort, Fu Jinan returned to normal. He stood up and took the cloak from Youqing's hand, carefully put it on her, then took her hand and walked out of the yard. He slowly whispered on the road: "There will be many people soon. Don't go any further, I've asked people to say hello to Ma, you just need to follow her."
As soon as I passed the small door, my eyes were filled with black and white.
The servants passed by in a hurry, and no matter what they were feeling inside, everyone had a sad and solemn expression on their face.
Gradually, crying began to be heard.
Luo Ran stood outside the crowd, trying to identify who was crying, but his head was so messed up that he couldn't distinguish anyone.
In her last life, Duke Jingguo passed away. As her daughter-in-law, she couldn't squeeze out a single tear no matter how hard she tried. Finally, she was afraid of losing face, so Chunyu put a little mint water on the handkerchief and got it on her eyes, then she squeezed out a few tears. drop.
In this life, no one cared about whether she was the Fu family's daughter-in-law, and she couldn't help crying. Or maybe everyone knew very well at this time that they would not come to make her uncomfortable. Not only that, some people even came to comfort her with the words that the deceased is gone and the living are sorry.
It’s ridiculous to think about it.
In the evening, Chunyu came in and sent a message: "Madam, Qiqin wants to see you."
Luo Ran glanced at Xijian.
Fu Jin'an didn't change his clothes. He was pestered by Qing Ning as soon as he came back. He didn't know what he did, but he could hear the cheerful laughter of the Qing Ning siblings.
Luo Ran nodded: "Let her come over."
After a while, Qiqin came over, wearing a huge cloak, covering her whole body tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. After entering, he bowed to Luo Ran first. Just as he was about to speak, he was stunned when he heard the movement inside.
Luo Ran pointed to the chair next to him: "It's okay, just sit down and talk."
Qiqin thanked her and sat down, but when she heard voices coming from behind her from time to time, she didn't dare to sit down and directly explained her purpose: "County Master, we have some clues about what you asked me to investigate last time."
As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his sleeve.
Youqing took it and opened it. Inside were just some scraps of paper that had been burned by fire. From the remaining writing on them, it could be seen that it should be a prescription.
Luo Ran looked at it and then looked at Qiqin.
Qiqin glanced behind her out of the corner of her eye and hesitated.
Luo Ran thought for a while, got up and walked to the inner room: "You come with me."
Qiqin got up without hesitation and followed her. She entered the inner room and closed the door with her own hands. She lowered her voice and said, "Since you left last time, the slave family has asked people to look at the old lady's yard. After Jing Guogong fell ill, the old lady But it was quiet for a while. Until yesterday, she asked Aunt Jin to burn something. When the slave family found out, they had someone lure Aunt Jin away, and then they got the prescription. Unfortunately, it was still a step too late, and some damage was caused. "
Luo Ran took another look at the remaining prescriptions. Although some parts had been burned, if an experienced doctor could look at them, they would still be able to tell.
"Then what?"
Luo Ran asked again.
Qiqin's expression was a little strange, and she hesitated and said, "I heard the old lady telling Grandma Jin that..."
Luo Ran: "What did you say?"
Qiqin took a deep breath and said, "The old lady said that if she had known that beast was... the emperor's... seed, she would never have let Duke Jingguo treat him like that."
Speaking of this, she raised her head and glanced at Luo Ran. Seeing his calm expression, it was obvious that he had known it for a long time. She breathed a sigh of relief and imitated the old lady's tone and said: "The Fu family is really over this time..."
Luo Ran sneered. It seemed that Fu Yi told the old lady the truth before he died. No wonder that after the death of Duke Jingguo in her previous life, the old lady always tried every means to ask her about Fu Jinan, and even let herself seduce him.
"Where's the prince?"
Luo Ran asked.
Qiqin shook her head: "The prince doesn't seem to know anything yet. After the Duke fell ill, the prince rarely went there. It's just that I don't know what he has been busy with these days, but when I heard it, the slave family seemed to be talking to someone named What about Mr. Liu’s dealings?”
Luo Ran nodded: "Well, you did a good job. You don't have to keep an eye on the old lady from now on, be careful of being discovered."
Qiqin nodded: "Yes, the Nu family understands."
After Qiqin left, Luo Ran came to the west room.
Fu Jinan took off his soap boots and lay on his back on the big kang. Qingning sat on his waist, and Jing Xing sat behind him. The two siblings looked like they were riding big horses. Qingning kept shouting: "Daddy" , drive! Daddy, drive!”
Luo Ran was shocked and a little helpless.
He picked up Jing Xing first, then went to coax Qing Ning: "Ning'er, please come down, okay? Daddy is tired."
Qing Ning seemed a little confused. Just now, her father took her and her brother on a horse ride. Why did his father feel tired as soon as her mother came in?
The ignorant look made Luo Ran's heart soften.
Fu Jinan took her hand, rubbed it between his palms, and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter."
Luo Ran looked at his tired eyes and asked, "Will it be over soon?"
No matter what the rumors are now, his surname is still Fu after all, and he still has to do what he should do.
Fu Jinan nodded: "No hurry, I'll stay with you for a while."
He just didn't ask what Qiqin was doing here.
Luo Ran looked at Qing Ning and Jing Xing again, and said worriedly: "Will anyone say anything if they don't go?"
Fu Jinan chuckled: "He doesn't deserve it."
Speaking of this, Luo Ran naturally didn't want the two children to suffer. He called the mothers in and coaxed the siblings to leave. Then Luo Ran took out the prescription that was burned beyond recognition: "This is a gift from Qiqin." I came here and found it at the old lady’s place. I suspect..."
Fu Jinan's eyebrows were slightly raised, he took the prescription and took a look at it, his face was indescribably gloomy.
"What do you suspect?"
After a long while, Fu Jinan said coldly.
Luo Ran sighed, pulled him soothingly, and said softly: "It's better to let Dr. Zhang take a look first before talking."
Fu Jinan sneered: "No need to read it."
Luo Ran was surprised.
Fu Jin'an said: "I have suspected it for a long time, but I searched Fu Yi's place all over and couldn't find it. I always thought that it was buried with the old Duke Jing, but I didn't expect that these idiots are still there."
Although he was young at the time, looking back when he grew up, he always felt that his mother's death was strange.
Later, he also tried his best to investigate, but found nothing from Fu Yi.
At first, he thought it was the old Mr. Jingguo who had harmed his mother, but later he thought it was not the case, but nothing could be found. It had been a worry for him for so many years.
But I didn't expect that this little woman would find out.
He held her hand instead, pulled it, and Luo Ran fell into his arms.
Just as Luo Ran was about to struggle, he heard a low voice above his head: "Thank you."
