Chapter 780 I Believe
Mrs. Ji's bitter crying vented all the longing, sentimentality, anger, self-blame and regret that had been suppressed for many years. She cried so hard that when she came back from Ziyun Mountain, Mrs. Ji's whole mental state was shaken. No, as soon as I got home, I lay down and rested.

Lu Xiaoning was very worried. Grandmother, at her age, was most afraid of this kind of grief and pain. She was so sad and exhausted that she sat by the bed and refused to leave.

Mrs. Ji said: "You go about your business, don't worry about grandma, I'll recover after a while."

Has she ever seen such a storm in her life, great sorrow and great joy?Widowed in childhood, widowed in middle age, the youngest son, who was so heartless, was sent away by her, the most beloved daughter passed away early, with gray hair and black hair, not to mention the changes in the market, today is just a moment of sadness and mental distress, that’s all. It's not that easy to fall down.

"Grandma, I'll stay with you for a while longer." Lu Xiaoning said softly.

"Your eldest aunt and third aunt are here, you do what you should do." Mrs. Ji said.Today is Prime Minister Chen's first seven, Lu Xiaoning must be going to the prime minister's residence, now, it's getting late.

The eldest aunt Fang also said: "Yes, Xiao Ning, your grandmother is under our care, so don't worry!"

Anyway, Lu Xiaoning reluctantly left Ji's house.

As soon as Lu Xiaoning left, Mrs. Lu rushed over upon hearing the news.

I met my third aunt Huang Shi outside the door.

Mrs. Lu was concerned: "Is my mother-in-law okay? I heard she's not feeling well."

Mrs. Lu didn't know that her mother-in-law went to her daughter's grave, and she also said that her mother-in-law had just come out of the palace, so don't offend the eldest princess.

Huang said: "Thank you, old lady, for your concern. My mother-in-law just went to Ziyun Mountain to see Sister Qinru. I feel a little sad in my heart, and I'm just not in good spirits."

Mrs. Lu: "Uh..."

So that's the case, then she'd better not go in, so as not to get into trouble.

"Oh, then I won't disturb my mother-in-law's rest." Mrs. Lu hurried away.

The gentle smile on the corner of Huang's mouth gradually turned cold. When she heard that her mother-in-law was going to visit Sister Qinru, this old lady Lu ran fast, isn't she guilty?

If it wasn't for Xiao Ning, who would treat this old lady.

Lu Xiaoning left Ji Mansion and went to Chen Mansion.

Today is the prime minister's first seven, she always wants to pay homage again, after burning the first seven, the funeral is considered to be over, by the way, ask Chen Yanyu something.

Today's outsiders are only Lu Xiaoning and Zhao Yincheng.

After burning the first seven days, Mrs. Chen, who was still ill, went back to lie down first.

Chen Yanyu took Lu Xiaoning to his father's study after knowing the purpose of Lu Xiaoning's visit.

"The answer you want is behind this wall." Chen Yanyu pointed to the row of bookshelves.

"There is a secret room here, but it cannot be opened now."

As he spoke, Chen Yanyu moved a few books away, touched a mechanism, and pulled it, but there was indeed no response.

Lu Xiaoning was stunned. It turned out that Chen Ziyang had been hidden in the secret room of the study by the prime minister, and the prime minister had sealed the secret room. Did Chen Ziyang die of suffocation and starvation after being locked in it?
"If you don't believe me, I'll call someone to tear down this wall." Chen Yanyu said coldly.

After his father passed away, Chen Yanyu no longer had the gentle smile he used to have on his face, his brows were always slightly frowned, and what flowed in his clear eyes was no longer melting spring water, but ice springs, and his whole body exuded a coldness breath.

Lu Xiaoning said with a complicated mood: "Of course I trust the prime minister, and I trust brother Chen even more, so don't tear down this wall."

The movement of tearing down the wall was too great, and if it was really necessary to tear down a dead person, wouldn't it be futile.

Hearing what Lu Xiaoning said, the coldness on Chen Yanyu's face gradually faded. To be honest, he was a little unhappy just now. His father used his own death to accomplish righteousness, and he was questioned after all his painstaking efforts. As a son, he No wonder I feel comfortable.

Now calm down and think about it, it is understandable for Xiao Ning to want to confirm, after all, this is a big matter.

If Chen Ziyang doesn't die, it will always be a hidden danger, and it will be the Chen family who will really suffer, otherwise who else will it affect?

Lu Xiaoning should also be out of concern for the Chen family.

So Chen Ziyang softened his tone and said: "It's really inappropriate to make too much noise now. Mother and Siyao don't know about it. If you believe me, then after a year, I'll just renovate the study and tear down the wall. Then Please come and see for yourself."

Lu Xiaoning hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Chen Yanyu never tells a lie, she believes it.

It's just that Chen Ziyang died here. Lu Xiaoning was quite surprised by this way of death.

I don't know what Chen Ziyang's mood was like when he was about to die. He thought he was absolutely safe hiding here, but he didn't expect the prime minister to kill him for the sake of righteousness and the safety of his family.

Chen Yanyu looked at this familiar study, as if the figure of his father was still in front of him, the way his father turned on the light to deal with official duties, and the way he was teaching him here...

The grief in his heart couldn't help showing, and his eyes became a little more sad.

Seeing Chen Yanyu's sad and lonely expression, Lu Xiaoning felt uncomfortable, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Chen, will you go up the mountain tomorrow?"

Chen Yanyu nodded: "The hut has been built, and we will go up the mountain tomorrow."

"However, auntie is still ill, why don't you go after auntie gets better?" Lu Xiaoning asked worriedly.

As soon as he left, there was only a sick mother, a younger sister who hadn't left the court, and an underage younger brother left in the family.The huge prime minister's mansion looked colder and colder.

Chen Yanyu said: "No need, I can rest assured that you and Zhao Yincheng will take care of you at home."

Especially Zhao Yincheng, after a funeral, he contributed the most, and everything was done carefully and carefully. Zhao Yincheng had already played the role of son-in-law, so he was very relieved of this brother-in-law.

Lu Xiaoning knew that he couldn't talk to him, so he could only say: "I will visit my aunt often in the future."

"Well, I thank you in advance." Chen Yanyu bowed his hands.

Polite but also distant.

He didn't tell anyone, but his father told him about Lu Xiaoning's relationship with His Highness King Yan in the letter, telling him not to have any more thoughts.

In fact, he had already guessed that the woman in front of him could only become a beautiful dream in his heart, which was beyond his reach in this life.

Lu Xiaoning felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She could naturally feel Chen Yanyu's alienation. Although Chen Yanyu said he didn't blame her, and said that the Prime Minister's death had nothing to do with her, but there was inevitably a grudge in his heart.

That big brother Chen who always has a gentle smile like a spring breeze has gone away from her.

Lu Xiaoning managed to force a smile: "Brother Chen is gone now. Siyao and I are like sisters, and my aunt treats me like a daughter. Yanping even calls me sister. Taking care of them is a matter of course."

There is also the entrustment of the prime minister.
