Luo Deyun ordered people to search for Luo Ruxue while organizing the funeral.
The whole capital soon learned about the Luo family, and relatives and friends came to visit one after another.
When Luo Ran saw his aunt coming, he hurriedly went out to greet her. Wang just got off the carriage, and Shen Yuzhi was following her.
Seeing Luo Ran dressed in mourning clothes, Mrs. Wang hurriedly walked through the door in two steps and said, "No!"
There are rules in the Jin Dynasty that those who wear a heavy filial piety before leaving the spirit are not allowed to leave the house. Unless you take off your mourning clothes.
Luo Ran held Wang's hand and said, "Don't worry, aunt, I know."
He nodded to Shen Yuzhi again.
Shen Yuzhi saw that although her face was serious, but not very sad, he felt a little relieved. When there was no one around, he asked in a low voice, "Have you asked the doctor?" ?.?????.ℂ??
Wang also looked at Luo Ran.
Because no one had heard the news that the old lady was seriously ill, so sudden disappearance would inevitably make people think too much. Especially those who have ulterior motives, if they really make a fuss about it, it will be a troublesome matter.
Luo Ran obviously understood the worries of his aunt and cousin, and said, "Well, Doctor Zhang came here in the afternoon."
He glanced beside him.
Qingchunyu took a few steps back and looked around warily.
Seeing the two maids like this, Shen Yuzhi knew that things were not that simple, and stared at Luo Ran with his gleaming peach blossom eyes.
Even Wang couldn't help but worry, holding Luo Ran's hand uncontrollably.
Then Luo Ran whispered, "It's poisoning."
Wang murmured, "How could this happen?"
Luo Ran always felt that her grandmother's death from poisoning seemed to be Luo Ruxue's fault, but secretly, it was definitely inseparable from the prince or the third prince. So she didn't hide it, just to let the Shen family prepare in advance.
Regardless of whether it is the prince or the third prince, since they dare to attack the Luo family, the Shen family is afraid that they will not be able to stay out of it.
Shen Yuzhi quickly understood what Luo Ran meant, nodded and whispered, "Don't worry, I will tell my father later."
Luo Ran said, "It's always good to take precautions in advance. You're not afraid of ten thousand, just in case."
Wang also nodded and asked, "Is there any evidence?"
Luo Ran shook his head, "It's all just speculation now. Everything must wait until Luo Ruxue is found."
Several people talked and then came to the mourning hall.
After Wang and Shen Yuzhi came forward to worship respectively, Shen Yuzhi went to the front while Wang stayed to help.
After all the trouble, it was already night, and all the people who came to express condolences had left. There might be even more people in the next few days.
Youqing helped Luo Ran, whose legs were numb from his knees and almost unable to stand up, and whispered, "Princess, there are no outsiders here. Take a rest. Otherwise, how will you survive the next few days?"
Luo Ran put half of his body on You Qing's body and came to the side room, planning to go back slowly. He frowned and said, "Didn't you see Aunt Mei staring at me just now? If Luo Ruxue can't be found for a moment, those people's eyes will be fixed on my father. I just kneel for a little longer, it doesn't matter."
Speaking of Aunt Mei, Youqing couldn't help but say, "The second master doesn't know what he thinks. He even has an aunt over on such a day, and he's not afraid of making people laugh."
Chun Yu trotted in from outside, seemingly holding something in her arms.
As soon as he came in, he took out the things and said, "Princess, please sit down quickly. This is the coarse salt that I asked you to fry in the kitchen. You can apply it on your knees. It will make you feel better."
While kneeling, he lifted up Luo Ran's dress and applied knee pads filled with coarse salt on her knees. He then continued what he just said, "What can he think? Anyway, he has no face now. The old lady has done this Let’s go, the second room must be moved out, why not come over blatantly to make trouble.”
Youqing snorted coldly, "You're really shameless. Let's see what else they have to say when we find the second young lady!"
The hot salt passed through the thick brocade and spread to his knees bit by bit. After a while, he felt much more comfortable. His legs were finally his own. Luo Ran tried to move and whispered, "Okay, don't do it." Just a random guess. Where is the prince?"
Youqing hurriedly said, "In the front yard, I'm talking to Lord Marquis in the study."
Fu Jinan was indeed in Luo Deyun's study at this time, but there was silence in the study.
Luo Deyun stood beside the desk, his lips pursed tightly and his face sullen, as if he was trying his best to endure something. Fu Jinan, however, was sitting lazily in the armchair opposite, playing with the tea cup in his hand, taking his time.
After a long while, Fu Jinan put down the tea cup, made a clear sound, and slowly said, "I have clearly told my father-in-law the truth about the matter. I have no objection to his decision."
Luo Deyun stared at him with a pair of tiger eyes and said word by word, "I just want to know, did the prince know in advance that Luo Ruxue would poison my mother?"
A flash of light flashed in Fu Jinan's lowered eyes, then he raised his head, his eyes were magnanimous, and he shook his head, "I don't know."
He added, "I had some doubts about Luo Ruxue returning to Beijing, but I was worried that she would be harmful to Ranran, so I sent someone to protect Ranran, but I didn't know that she..."
Luo Deyun had no doubt about this.
Because he didn't expect Luo Ruxue to attack the old lady, he asked Yuan Shuyi to watch the inner courtyard, but he forgot about the old lady.
Even if he doesn't like the old lady, she is still his mother. He couldn't help but watch his mother being killed.
