Chapter 837
When the old Marquis said this, he whispered: "You must not let anyone know that you have this book in your hands!"
"Especially not let Concubine Shao know!"
"Why?" Ling Yu's heart trembled, why did this matter involve Concubine Shao again?
"You don't know that before Concubine Shao entered the palace, she and your mother were good sisters. It is said that Concubine Shao's father was seriously ill, and it was your mother who helped Concubine Shao find Sikong Xun to treat him!"
"Concubine Shao's father wanted to keep Sikong Xun to work for her after he recovered from his illness, but Sikong Xun left without saying goodbye. For this reason, Shao's father was furious."
"I heard that after Sikong Xun's death, Concubine Shao's family was still inquiring about the whereabouts of the medical books. Concubine Shao recruited your mother into the palace before, and even asked sideways if the medical books were in your mother's hands!"
The old Marquis said worriedly: "After your mother died, the Marquis Mansion was broken into several times by thieves, probably because of this medical book!"
"Later, I guess I couldn't find it, and slowly the Marquis Mansion returned to calm!"
Ling Yu was frightened when she heard this. She flipped through the medical books. Sikong Xun was indeed the most outstanding doctor of this era. The cases and prescriptions he recorded were all classics.
Moreover, this medical book also contains secret recipes for longevity and beauty. The last few pages are written in words that Ling Yu cannot understand.
Ling Yu felt that this was Concubine Shao's focus.
Ling Yu only felt that Lan Huijuan's matter was becoming more and more mysterious. She had thought that she could get a clear answer from the old Marquis, but she didn't expect that the old Marquis would bring her more doubts.
"Grandpa, don't you think my mother's death is strange?"
Ling Yu finally asked the topic, and she told the old Marquis everything Ling Ping told her.
The old Marquis looked ugly after hearing this. He looked at Ling Yu guiltily, and after a long time he said tiredly: "I have also doubted what you said..."
"But Wang...she gave birth to two children for your father...Ling Xiang, so...I...!"
The old Marquis couldn't speak any more, but Ling Yu understood what the old Marquis meant.
It's not that he doesn't know, but Ling Xiangsheng is his biological son, and Ling Yan and Ling Feng are his biological grandsons and biological granddaughters.
The old Marquis didn't want a complete family to be destroyed because of Lan Huijuan's death.
Can she say that Mr. Hou is selfish?
From the perspective of the old Marquis, Lan Huijuan was an outsider. He forced Ling Xiangsheng to marry Lan Huijuan and saved the reputation of Lan Huijuan and the old Prime Minister, so he was worthy of the old Prime Minister's life-saving grace.
The old Marquis has taken care of himself and Ling Xiang for so many years. After all, he doesn't owe them anything.
"Ayu, I... I'm sorry to you and your mother... If you really want to avenge your mother, I don't have the nerve to stop you!"
"All I ask is that you don't implicate Ling Feng, Ling Yan, and Ling Xiangsheng!"
The old Marquis begged with a gloomy face.
Ling Yu looked at the old Marquis silently, and then said after a while.
"I promise you! I won't implicate them!"
At this moment, Ling Yu remembered the scene at the birthday banquet when the old Marquis knelt down to beg the Emperor for himself, regardless of offending the Emperor!
The old Marquis didn't owe her anything, and she couldn't let the old Marquis lose his son, grandchildren, and granddaughters because of the Wang family's fault!
Seeing that Ling Yu had agreed, the old Marquis stood up again. This time his figure was even more stooped. He staggered to the back of the bed and took out another cloth bag.
He tiredly took it and handed it to Ling Yu.
"When I came back from military training and found out about your mother's death letter, I felt sorry for your grandfather. In the end... I found someone to investigate privately."
"These are the confessions of those close to Wang, Grandma Mao, and those who helped poison Wang!"
"I have already used different methods to deal with those people...only the Wang family is left!"
