Chapter 996 Father, You Are So Kind
Chapter 996 Father, You Are So Kind
"My lady, you have been tired all night. You will have a hard time in the future. Go to bed early. I don't think they will blame you."
"You really won't blame me?"
Mother Liu nodded: "Madam's children all died young, and you are her only blood relative. She must hope that you live a good life."
Lu Sihui lowered her eyes, the light was blowing dimly, shining on her face, making her look unclear: "You are right, they must want me to live well, I only have Ming'er to rely on, Mother Liu, you must help me."
"Don't worry, Madam. I will assist you wholeheartedly."
Many people were puzzled by the death of Lu Gongbi and his wife, but few actually investigated.
At least on the surface, everything seems calm.
Privately, Zhao Rui sent Leng Zhongyan to investigate the matter.
After receiving the "secret order", Leng Zhongyan brought an experienced coroner in the name of condolences and asked the coroner to secretly perform an autopsy on Lu Gongbi.
The autopsy results showed that Lu Gongbi was poisoned to death by a chronic poison that had been administered for at least half a year, while his second wife Lu was suffocated to death.
Leng Zhongyan went to the teahouse to find Gu Qingjue.
He, Li Duanyuan and others were already waiting there. After Leng Zhongyan sat down, he told them the result directly.
Bai Chengnan: "So, the two were murdered."
Gu Qingjue leaned back, staring at the teacup on the table in a daze. Those who knew him knew that Gu Qingjue was thinking about something, so they did not disturb him and only they discussed it.
Li Duanyuan said: "There is one thing I don't understand, why Madam Lu was suffocated to death."
Bai Chengnan: "This is hard to understand. The murderer must have planned to kill Lord Lu, but was discovered by Madam Lu and was killed as well."
Bai Shiqian disagreed with Bai Chengnan's statement: "Mr. Lu was poisoned with a slow-acting poison, so it shouldn't be discovered. There's no reason to kill Mrs. Lu. The death of both husband and wife will easily attract outsiders' investigation. There's no reason to do this."
Leng Zhongyan nodded: "Changfeng is right."
Gu Qingjue: "Have you checked the remains of Madam Lu Er?"
"Madam Lu is a woman, and an elder. I have not seen her belongings." Leng Zhongyan looked at Gu Qingjue, "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with Madam Lu?"
"It's just a suspicion, we have to investigate."
Leng Zhongyan nodded: "I understand!"
As soon as Leng Zhongyan returned home, Yang came and asked him about his well-being and secretly inquired about the affairs of the Lu Mansion.
He was already extremely alert to the Yang family.
So even though Yang said it casually, it still aroused Leng Zhongyan's vigilance.
"Madam, you didn't go to pay your respects today. Please go with me tomorrow to avoid others saying that our Leng Mansion is not polite."
Yang Yuxiao nodded: "My husband is really thoughtful. I will go and make arrangements and go there early tomorrow morning."
After Yang Yuxiao left the study, Leng Zhongyan winked towards the dark and someone left immediately.
As soon as Yang Yuxiao left, Leng Ziping came again.
Leng Ziping has been unusually quiet since the last palace banquet and has not attended any banquets in the past two years. Many people may have forgotten the scene in the palace and forgotten her existence.
"Father."
Looking at his little daughter, Leng Zhongyan felt complicated and didn't know how to treat her.
"It's so late, what do you want to see father for?"
Leng Ziping bit her lip, looking like she didn't know how to start.
Leng Zhongyan rubbed his brows and said, "Just ask whatever you want to say. As long as your father can do it, he will agree to it."
"really?"
"Of course!" Leng Ziping said, "Dad, mother helped me find a man last month. She chose the man from the Wen family, but I don't want to marry."
Leng Zhongyan was surprised: "You have never met the man from the Wen family, so why don't you want to get married? Father thinks the Wen family is good and is a good match for our Leng family in every aspect. Father thinks this marriage is okay."
"My daughter just doesn't like it."
Leng Zhongyan looked at Leng Ziping and guessed that she might already have someone she liked.
"Then tell me, what kind do you like?"
"Father, I like the eldest son of the Jin King, Gu Yanheng." Leng Ziping bit her lip and said, "Aren't you and the Jin King very close? Being relatives makes the relationship even closer. This is a good thing, don't you think, father?"
"Nonsense."
Leng Ziping stamped her feet: "I just want to marry the person I like, why is it nonsense?"
"Anyone can do it, but not him!"
She could never marry into the Gu family, and Ziyuan and Yixin would not agree.
"Father, my daughter finally has someone she likes, why can't you fight for her? I have always listened to you since I was a child. Just this once, I want to do what I want, why can't you do that!"
"You must remember what your father said. This is for your own good."
Leng Ziping's eyes were already filled with tears: "You said it was for my own good, but it was actually just because of your own selfishness!"
Leng Zhongyan looked at Leng Ziping in astonishment: "What did you say?"
"I said that you didn't dare to let your daughter marry into the Gu family because of your own selfishness."
Leng Zhongyan looked at Leng Ziping, his calmness was terrifying: "Who told you these words?"
"Do I need anyone to tell me? Everyone in the mansion is saying that my daughter looks a lot like Princess Shuyang, and that my mother is a fake and that I am the daughter of a fake!"
Leng Zhongyan took two deep breaths and tried to suppress his anger: "Ping'er, go back first. If you don't like this marriage with the Wen family, I will tell your mother, but you must give up your thoughts about Gu Yanheng!"
"I do not."
Leng Zhongyan endured it again and again.
Finally, he said, "Okay, you want to marry Gu Yanheng, right? Your father will give you this opportunity. I will choose a time to let you meet and see if he is willing to marry you. If Yanheng says yes, I won't stop you!"
“Father, you are so kind!”
Leng Ziping came out of the study happily, and Leng Zhongyan immediately asked someone to investigate who was gossiping at home.
The next day, Leng Zhongyan took Yang Yuxiao to Lu's house to pay his respects.
When they arrived, Lu Sihui was already there: "Lord Leng, Madam."
"Condolences."
After the two of them offered incense, Yang Yuxiao slowly moved to the side of the coffin.
Leng Zhongyan whispered, “Madam, aren’t you afraid?”
"There's nothing to be afraid of. Madam Lu and I were quite talkative when she was alive. I am really sad that she passed away suddenly."
As he said this, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and said to the family members beside him: "Please accept my condolences!"
"Madam, please go back."
"Husband, I want to talk to Madam Lu San."
Leng Zhongyan didn't know what to say, so he just nodded: "Then I'll wait for you in the car!"
After she could no longer see Leng Zhongyan, Yang Yuxiao spoke up, "Third Madam, Madam Lu borrowed something from me before she died. That thing was very important to me. She passed away suddenly, and the thing has not been returned to me yet. Can you..."
