Leng Xi suddenly raised his head and said in a cold voice:
"There is no dissatisfaction. My father is doing it for my own good. Mr. Yu is an important minister of the court, and Yu Qiaoqiao is a rare and talented woman. It is my honor for me, Leng Xi, to marry such a woman."
Although his words were free and easy, Luo Lan still felt that something was wrong, but since he didn't say it clearly, their plan to comfort him before coming was abandoned. After a few words of greeting, they left Prince Xi's Mansion.
Sitting in the carriage, Luo Lan said with puzzled eyes flashing:
"What's wrong with Lengxi? He seems to have suddenly changed."
Leng Yu shook his head in confusion, "I don't know, he doesn't want to tell us the truth, and we can't force him. We just hope he can live a good life with Yu Qiaoqiao."
"There should be no reason for him not to live a good life with Yu Qiaoqiao. Yu Qiaoqiao is beautiful, a virtuous and generous lady, and any man who gets such a woman will cherish her."
Leng Yu raised his handsome eyes and looked at her, shaking his head in confusion, "I don't know, I always feel that Xi'er has become very different from before. He doesn't seem to really want to marry Yu Qiaoqiao. As for him, What has changed, I can’t tell.”
Luo Lan also felt this way, but he couldn't explain why either.
In the afternoon, Luo Lan took A Cai and A Hong on his carriage and went straight to the Prince's Mansion.
She needs to change Xiaoyu's dressing, give her anti-inflammatory injections, and tell her some precautions.
But when they arrived at the back door of the Prince's Mansion, the door was closed tightly. There was no sign of Aunt Fang, and no servants were coming or going.
A Cai went to the door to have a look, came back and said:
"Princess, it's strange. No one is there. Should I knock on the door?"
"Go!"
The time agreed with Aunt Fang is almost here, why doesn’t Aunt Fang come out to greet them?
After getting the order, Ah Cai went to knock on the door. After a while, the back door opened and a girl-looking person came out. She looked at Ah Cai and asked in a cold voice:
"What's up?"
"Excuse me, is Aunt Fang here?"
"Not here."
"Where has she gone?"
"Going back to my hometown."
The girl's words made Ah Cai puzzled, "She was here yesterday, why did she suddenly go back to her hometown today? What about Miss Yu? We can also look for her."
"died."
After the girl said this, she rolled her eyes and closed the door with a bang.
A Cai was stunned for a moment, then trotted to the carriage and panted and said:
"Princess, maybe...maybe something happened. That girl said that Miss Yu was dead and that Grandma Fang had returned to her hometown."
Hearing this, Luo Lan's brows suddenly tightened, and she said to Ah Hong:
"Are you going to find out?"
Ah Hong jumped out of the carriage after nodding and walked towards the door.
When she knocked on the door, the girl who just came out said impatiently:
"What do you want to do?"
Before she finished speaking, Ah Hong directly raised a piece of silver in front of her eyes, flashed his eyes, and said disdainfully:
"Little sister, would it be convenient for me to ask you something?"
When the little girl saw the ingot of silver, she immediately walked out of the door with joy, and then kept nodding, "Convenient, convenient."
Ah Hong then put the ingot of silver into her hand and pulled her to the carriage, "The people are here. Do you have anything to ask?"
The little girl didn't know who the person in the carriage was, so she leaned forward and said:
"If you want to ask anything, please just say it. I don't have much time and can't stay outside for too long."
Through the sedan curtain, Luo Lan asked directly:
"Where are Miss Yu and Aunt Fang?"
"Mother Fang has returned to her hometown. Miss Yu is dead and she was carried out last night."
"Where did it go?"
"have no idea."
"Where's the child?"
"The child is dead too."
impossible……
Luo Lan's brows suddenly knitted into a knot. She clenched her fists and asked again:
"Did something happen in the Prince's Mansion?"
"There is a happy event in the Crown Prince's Palace. Last night, the Crown Princess gave birth to a son. The good news has been sent to the palace, but there is no reply yet."
Wu Linlin also gave birth? Such a coincidence?
Luo Lan said to Ah Hong:
"let's go!"
After Ah Hong nodded, he pulled the little girl to his side and reminded him with a cold face:
"If you dare to speak out about today's questioning, your life will be at risk."
The little girl nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, girl, I won't tell anyone, so I'll go back first."
After leaving these words, the little girl ran into the back door like a whirlwind. After Ah Hong got into the car, the carriage started slowly.
Luo Lan sat there with a pale face, leaning against the wall of the car, saying nothing. The little baby was born without any problems, how could he die overnight? This is not common sense!
Ah Hong asked in a low voice:
"Princess, has something really happened to Xiaoyu?"
Luo Lan's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she said in a cold voice with complicated thoughts:
"Go to the mass graves."
"Princess, how could you go to a place like that? Besides, she might not have been thrown into a mass grave."
"Do as I say."
Luo Lan suddenly had a bad feeling. This Xiaoyu might be like the furoshiki. The valuable things inside were untied, leaving an empty skin bag, which was ruthlessly discarded.
After Ah Hong said a few words to the groom outside, she returned to the car. Luo Lan still sat with a bloodless face. Xiaoyu's pale face and the appearance of the little baby dangled in front of her eyes.
It took them about half an hour to reach the mass graves in the west of the city. A Cai shrank his neck and whispered,
"Princess, it's a bit spooky here. Let's go back and call some men to come with us."
Ah Hong glared at her angrily, "Coward, all that hard work you have learned has been wasted, get off the car quickly."
At Ah Hong's urging, Ah Cai timidly got out of the car. She stood tremblingly under the car and opened the sedan curtain for Luo Lan, who then slowly got out of the car.
This is a mass grave. Some ownerless dead people will be thrown here. Some are buried, and some are just left without care. At the end of every month, the government will come to bury them once. So here, let alone women, Even a grown man would be frightened.
Luo Lan frowned and looked around, then lifted up her skirt and walked forward. A Cai muttered in a low voice,
"Princess, it's so scary here, let's not go there."
Ah Hong raised his hand and pinched her arm, which made Ah Cai yell, "Ah!"
Luo Lan shouted displeasedly:
"Can you please be quiet? I want to scare people to death."
It turned out that she was also scared, but she wanted to find out if there was Xiaoyu here.
When they approached the place where the dead people were thrown, A Cai suddenly shouted, "Ah! Princess, look..."
Ah Hong turned back and glared at her again, "You want to die. Scaring the princess will cost you your life."
Ah Cai, however, was trembling while pointing her finger not far away, "Look quickly... is that... is it... is it Grandma Fang?"
Hearing this, Luo Lan and A Hong looked for fame together. When they saw a middle-aged woman lying on the ground, A Hong walked over quickly and turned her over.
She reached out and touched her breath, then shook her head,
"It's Grandma Fang. She's out of breath. Her face is purple. There are no injuries on her body. She must have died of suffocation."
