Seeing Luo Junyao's expression change, Wei Changting was also startled, "Princess, what's going on?"
Luo Junyao slowly put away the letter, shook his head and said, "Nothing, Prince Wei, is there anything else you want to say?"
Wei Changting understood that she had something to talk to Leng Shuang privately, so he stopped staying. He just looked at Leng Shuang and stood up to leave. Leng Shuang didn't look at him, and still stood respectfully in the hall with her hands tied.
Wei Changting's eyes were a little sad and he had no choice but to turn around and leave.
When Wei Changting went out, Luo Junyao asked: "Is what is written here true?"
Leng Shuang nodded and said seriously: "My subordinate personally sent someone to check. There is absolutely nothing false."
Luo Junyao frowned and opened the letter again and read it carefully.
The letter said that last night Xu Zhaolin went out to Dongcheng to meet a woman. He went in at midnight and did not come out until after the first watch. The people sent to follow Xu Zhaolin found out the identity of the woman. She was a poor woman from Dongcheng, named Deng Yuniang.
She is nineteen years old this year. It is said that she was originally a girl from a wealthy businessman, but she was forced to fall into prostitution due to the decline of her family business. Because she was good-looking and literate, she was kept and trained by the madam to prevent her from falling into a worse situation.
Deng Yuniang officially accepted customers at the age of fifteen. A year later, she met Prince Chun'an, who was also her first real guest. After that, she did not open a business again, but moved to a small courtyard near Yichun Street.
.
There was silence in the hall. Leng Shuang raised his head and glanced at Luo Junyao, who was sitting in the main seat. For the first time, he saw the cold murderous look on the face of this princess who was always smiling.
After an unknown amount of time, Luo Junyao slowly crumpled the letter in his hand into a ball, held it tightly in his palm, and gritted his teeth and said, "Seeking death!"
Luo Junyao is neither a naive and ignorant hothouse flower nor a weak girl with little knowledge. Although the letter is only less than a hundred words, she has already clearly seen the cause and effect of the matter.
Xu Zhaolin and Na Qingguan got involved three years ago, but the marriage between the Xu family and the Luo family took less than three years even if it was considered an engagement!
Luo Junyao raised his head, glanced at Leng Shuang, and said coldly: "Is there anything unwritten in this letter?"
Leng Shuang hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "I personally went to see it, and Deng Yuniang's appearance is at least sixty-seven points similar to Mrs. Xu's."
"Crack!" There was a soft sound, and a piece of the armrest of the chair Luo Junyao was sitting on was violently ripped off.
Luo Junyao took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said: "It's impossible that my mother didn't check Xu Zhaolin back then. Why was there such a flaw?" The Su family only has one biological daughter, Luo Mingxiang, and is naturally very cautious about her marriage. The identity of the son-in-law is neither
The willingness should be too high, but not too low. The appearance should be outstanding, and the talent should not be so outstanding that it would make life difficult for the daughter in her husband's family if she gets married in the future. If you are so careful, how can you not check the people around your son-in-law?
Leng Shuang said: "It should be an accident that Prince Chun'an met Deng Yuniang, but I don't know why the two of them suddenly... In addition, the money Deng Yuniang paid for her life and the small courtyard where she lives now were not paid by Prince Chun'an. Chun
Amber doesn't go there often, and her whereabouts are hidden. Unless Mrs. Luo sends someone to follow her for a long time, I'm afraid she may not be able to find out."
Everyone is well aware of the routines of powerful families. Since the Xu family wants to marry a girl from the Luo family, Xu Zhaolin will definitely follow the rules when it comes to the engagement. Even if Mrs. Luo really sends someone to follow her, I'm afraid it may not be of much use.
Besides, for ordinary people to check their son-in-law, one month is considered a long time. How can they follow their future son-in-law for three to five months? As for occasionally going to a brothel to drink with classmates and companions, this is not even a shortcoming.
Xu Zhaolin hardly goes to that kind of place.
How could the Luo family have imagined that he would dare to raise an adulterer outside the home when he was only sixteen or seventeen years old and not yet married?
Luo Junyao closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Let's check again and find out everything about these two people. There won't be any omissions."
Leng Shuang nodded in agreement.
When Xie Yan came in, Luo Junyao was still holding the torn off armrest in his hand. Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's going on?"
"Your Majesty."
Xie Yan waved his hand to Leng Shuang to retreat. When Leng Shuang retreated, he walked to Luo Junyao and pulled her up into his arms.
He pulled her hand away, took out the things and threw them aside. He said softly: "Don't hurt your hand. I've never seen you so angry. What happened?"
Luo Junyao looked at Xie Yan quietly and said nothing. Xie Yan said helplessly: "Yaoyao, do you want to hide it from me too?"
Luo Junyao felt very depressed, so he simply leaned into Xie Yan's arms and gave him the crumpled paper.
Xie Yan hugged her with one hand and sat down, and opened the wad of paper with the other hand. Although it had been crumpled, the handwriting was still clear.
After reading it, Xie Yan also frowned slightly, "Prince Chun'an?" He naturally remembered that Prince Chun'an was the husband of the eldest lady of the Luo family, and seriously considered that His Highness the Regent would call him brother-in-law.
Of course, even if the regent is willing to call, it is hard to say whether Xu Zhaolin dares to respond.
Xie Yan also understood why Luo Junyao was angry. She and Luo Mingxiang had always had a good relationship. How could she not be angry now that something like this happened?
"What do you want to do?" Xie Yan asked in a low voice.
Luo Junyao sat up with a sad expression on his pretty face, "I want to kill Xu Zhaolin!"
It is very easy to kill a weak scholar quietly. Even though the eldest sister will be sad when her husband is newlywed, but if you introduce an outstanding husband to the eldest sister in a few years, the eldest sister will forget such a person sooner or later.
Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not object. Instead, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let someone do it."
After saying that he was about to recruit someone, Luo Junyao quickly grabbed his hand, "Who do you want to go?"
Xie Yan said nonchalantly: "It's just a small matter. Anyone sent there can complete it. If you are worried, I will ask Qu Tiange to do it. He will never miss it."
Luo Junyao sighed, shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's wait a little longer. I always feel that there is something wrong with this. Let's wait until Leng Shuang has detailed results." They only found out about Xu Zhaolin last night.
It’s just that there’s only so much you can find out in one night.
Xie Yan raised his hand and gently touched her hair, saying: "It's not a big deal, don't worry about it. Xu Zhaolin is just a scholar, so there will be no difficulty in handling it. As for Miss Luo, you can do whatever you want, the Xu family doesn't dare
have opinions."
Luo Jun shook his head, still a little unhappy after all.
Xu Zhaolin was indeed not a big deal. Even without the Luo family and the Regent's Palace, it would be easy for her to deal with Xu Zhaolin.
But she knew that the eldest sister would be sad no matter what. Although it was difficult to say that the eldest sister had any unforgettable feelings for Xu Zhaolin after they got married soon. But after all, he was the husband she wanted to stay with wholeheartedly for life. How could the eldest sister not be sad?
In the past few months of marriage, the eldest sister was obviously happy, and she had some feelings for Xu Zhaolin, her husband, and Chun'an Bo Mansion.
"As expected! There are no good things in the Imperial City's Seven Shows!" Luo Junyao gritted his teeth, "This name is unlucky!"
Xie Yan was helpless and patted her vest to comfort her: "Shao Yao is right, Shangyong will no longer have this name in the future."
In fact, the two boys from the Zhao family and the Zhou family are not bad, but the princess is angry now, and the regent will naturally not confront her.
The news from the people under the Regent's Palace was very fast. Leng Shuang came to see Luo Junyao again the next day.
Only this time, Qu Tiange came with Leng Shuang. Qu Tiange was still the same as usual, standing in black clothes with a sword in his hand, looking indifferent and solemn.
"I've met the princess."
Luo Junyao nodded and told the two of them not to be polite, "How? Is there any other news?"
Leng Shuang nodded and said: "Last night we arrested the madam who trained Deng Yuniang, and a girl who once served Deng Yuniang. They said something."
"What did they say?"
Leng Shuang said: "The old bustard said that she bought Deng Yuniang from Ren Yazi a few years ago, and she raised her to receive customers when she was fifteen years old. I wanted to keep her until she was eighteen years old, but I didn't want her to wait until she was eighteen years old.
Prince Chun'an went drinking with his friends, fell in love with Deng Yuniang at first sight, and became Deng Yuniang's guest. Not long after, Deng Yuniang redeemed herself and left. She was afraid of her status as a benefactor and did not dare to embarrass her. She never saw Deng Yuniang again.
, Prince Chun'an has never been to that brothel again."
Luo Junyao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Wait a minute, you said that Deng Yuniang had received guests for a year before she met Xu Zhaolin?"
"Yes." Leng Shuang nodded.
Luo Junyao frowned and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.
"What's the problem, Princess?" Leng Shuang asked.
Luo Junyao lowered his eyes and said: "You said that Deng Yuniang and the eldest sister are 60-70% similar. Xu Zhaofen can naturally tell it when they get along with each other all the time. So...has anyone else noticed it?"
Leng Shuang frowned and said: "Although the people who can make friends with the prince of Chun'an Palace are all the powerful and noble children of Shangyong, the people who hang around the brothel will not be extraordinary people after all. There should not be many people who can know Miss Luo. Besides, that's it.
Miss Luo was only fourteen years old at that time, so she probably didn't look much like her. That Deng Yuniang was a Qinghuan. Although she was in a first-class Qingyin class, she was considered an elegant prostitute. There were not many people, and the guests were relatively regular and did not arrive.
It became a smash hit.”
Luo Jun did not comment, but asked: "What did the little girl who served Deng Yuniang say?"
Leng Shuang said: "That little girl has followed Deng Yuniang since she was a child. She said that after Deng Yuniang left the brothel, she moved to where she lives now, and she has been living there ever since. Xu Zhaolin would visit Deng Yuniang every once in a while, and the two of them
The relationship was very good. But within a few months, she was sent away by Deng Yuniang, and I don’t know what happened next. When they first had an affair, Xu Zhaolin once said that he would marry Deng Yuniang as his wife."
Luo Junyao sneered, "If he is so affectionate, why did Xu Zhaolin marry someone else? He also married my eldest sister... Xu Zhaolin wouldn't be stupid enough to want Li Daitao to die, right?"
Does he think everyone else is a fool?
Leng Shuang shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be the case. I'm afraid Xu Zhaolin said he wanted to marry Deng Yuniang on impulse, and Deng Yuniang may not believe him. I heard from people nearby that Deng Yuniang said that her husband went out to do business and was often away from home. But Yichun
Most of the people living near the street are not serious people, and others don't believe her. Occasionally, I see men coming and going from her house, and I just think she is some rich man who keeps her in an outer room."
"In addition..." Leng Shuang hesitated and whispered: "There is one more important thing. Princess, Deng Yuniang is probably pregnant."
"How many months?" Luo Junyao asked.
"She is almost different from Miss Luo," Leng Shuang said.
Luo Junyao's face became more and more gloomy, and after a long while he said: "Let's check again to see if there is any problem with Deng Yuniang and the people who went with Xu Zhaolin. If not, let people keep an eye on Xu Zhaolin and Deng Yuniang. There is no need to check anything else."
"Yes, Princess." Leng Shuang nodded in response. After speaking, he glanced sideways at Qu Tiange and said: "There is one more thing to tell Princess. My subordinate will leave Shangyong in three days. I'm afraid what happens next
Mr. Qu will take over. Please rest assured, Princess, Mr. Qu and his subordinates also went together to do what happened yesterday."
Luo Junyao had known that Leng Shuang was leaving, but he still couldn't help being stunned. After a while, he nodded and said: "Okay, I wish you a safe journey, and be careful when going to the northwest."
There was a hint of warmth on Leng Shuang's cold face, and she nodded and said, "Yes, thank you, Princess."
Luo Junyao hesitated, and after thinking for a moment, he asked: "Is Leng Shuang going to say goodbye to someone? Since Mr. Qu has taken over the affairs of the capital, we might as well rest for a few days before setting off."
Leng Shuang was silent for a moment, and then said: "I know everything I need to know, and I have said goodbye. What's more, Leng Shuang is still serving under the prince, and I'm afraid we may not see each other again in the future."
Luo Junyao could only nod his head, and shed tears of sympathy for Prince Wei in his heart.
After reporting the matter, Leng Shuang and Qu Tiange resigned.
Before leaving, Luo Junyao still asked: "Master Qu, don't tell others about this first."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qu Tiange looked back at her, said nothing but nodded silently.
Luo Mingxiang was not there when Luo Junyao returned to Luo's house, and Su was still busy with the trivial matters of the wedding. After she sent away all the people who came to report the matter, she saw Luo Junyao sitting on her side with her eyebrows furrowed and in a daze.
Su Shi placed a plate of snacks in front of Luo Junyao and said with a smile, "What's wrong? You're listless?"
Luo Junyao raised his head and looked at Su, but hesitated to speak.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "Didn't eldest sister come back today?"
Su Shi said: "She runs to her parents' house every day these days, so I asked her to stay at home for a few days. Although her husband's family is generous, the younger generation should not be too casual. She is still pregnant now, so let Uncle Chun'an
It doesn’t look good in the eyes of the government.”
Luo Junyao secretly thought: "Is Chun'an's Mansion really good to my eldest sister? It seems good on the surface, but... if the Luo family doesn't know, surely Chun'an's Mansion also doesn't know? It's impossible for the Luo family to do it every day
They sent people to keep an eye on the future son-in-law, but Mrs. Chun Anbo lives in the same house with her son every day, does she really know nothing about her son?"
"What's wrong with you?" Mrs. Su raised her hand and touched her forehead with some worry, "Why are you lost in thought again? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"
Luo Jun shook his head, raised his head and met Su's concerned eyes. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Mother, look at this."
Seeing her like this, Su's expression became solemn.
She knew Luo Junyao well. This girl was always well-behaved and smart, and she could laugh, curse, and express her emotions and anger.
The fact that she looked so cautious today only proved that what she wanted to show her was really important.
Su Shi hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly took the letter from Luo Junyao's hand.
