Chapter 463
Yan Xiaowan smiled lightly: "Brother Xiao, you're offended by saying that."

Xiao Lang's tone was soft: "According to our previous agreement, I will go to your house to find you at night, and bring valuable clues with me."

He didn't have strong evidence in hand to prove that the flood in Jiangnan Qingyang was caused by the fourth prince.

The most critical question is what is the purpose of the fourth prince blowing up the Qingyang Dam. It is necessary to understand the fourth prince's intention.

Yan Xiaowan looked up at him, smiled and frowned: "It's a deal."

-

Xiao Lang didn't go back to Duke Wu's mansion, but went to the mansion secretly bought by the former prince.

The servant at the gate respectfully greeted Xiao Lang who was walking towards him, "Little master."

Xiao Lang nodded slightly, walked quickly forward into the study, and went straight to the subject: "Where is that lowly maid?"

He wanted to ask clearly whether it was the lowly maid who made it up on her own, or if Concubine Shun instructed her to do so.

"Little master, that maidservant is totally different from you." The lord reminded with a twinkle in his eyes.

Xiao Lang didn't know the transaction between this lord and the maidservant, his eyebrows were condensed: "Master Xie, do you know that that lowly maidservant was used to push the flood in Jiangnan Qingyang to me."

Mr. Xie was shocked, and he settled down to discover the hidden mystery here: "A flood occurred in Qingyang, Jiangnan? There is not much rain in Jiangnan at this time of year. Could this flood be man-made?"

Xiao Lang nodded solemnly: "Qingyang is a well-known land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. Once a flood occurs, the affected people will definitely choose to leave Qingyang to find a new way of life and be forced to be displaced. The cause of this flood is Qingyang. The dam was artificially blown up, this incident happened three months ago, but such a major disaster has not spread to the capital until today."

The Qingyang flood happened three months ago, and he hadn't received any news about the flood or disaster relief. Thinking about it, he was terrified.

Master Xie's face turned blue, not from fright, but from anger.Could it be that the officials in the south of the Yangtze River have taken the courage of the bear and leopard, otherwise how could they conceal such a major disaster?

The Qingyang Dam was destroyed, fertile land was flooded, and the people were left homeless. How dare those officials conceal it and not report it?
"Little master, I'll send someone to investigate right away."

Xiao Lang's mood became more and more gloomy when his biological mother's confidant maid was being used by others, and he ordered with a gloomy face: "This incident has something to do with that lowly maid, you must find out who is behind the scenes. I don't want to be caught by someone that day Stabbed in the back."

Master Xie took the order to retreat, and he decided to interrogate the maid himself.

"Shadow One." Waiting for Lord Xie to leave, Xiao Lang called out to the shadow guard who was hiding in the dark.

Shadow had an ordinary face, and his voice was deep and unremarkable. Hearing Xiao Lang's call, he appeared like a phantom and knelt down in front of Xiao Lang: "Master."

Xiao Lang's tone was serious: "Quickly investigate the Qingyang flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and focus on investigating whether this matter is related to the fourth prince and Di Jie."

"Subordinates take orders!" Ying Yi took orders and retreated.

Sitting at the desk, Xiao Lang thought for a long time, and finally decided to meet his biological mother, Concubine Shun: "Ying Er, follow me to Concubine Shun's Palace."

Concubine Shun Palace
Concubine Shun looked at Xiao Lang without blinking, she seemed to see her old father who had passed away for many years, the child she gave birth to was almost carved out of the same mold as her father, and looked exactly the same.

Standing in front of Concubine Shun with his tall body, Xiao Lang looked directly at Concubine Shun's face without any shyness, the fluctuation in his heart was much smaller than he imagined.

His voice was not mixed with any emotion, and he called out indifferently: "Mrs. Concubine Shun."

Concubine Shun's eye circles became even redder. She wanted to see her child up close, but her legs were as heavy as lead, and she clasped the chair firmly with both hands, trying her best not to cry out.

She didn't even want to blink, how could she let tears blur her eyes?She wished that time would pass more slowly, more slowly, so that she could see her baby more often.

At this moment, hearing her biological son call her without emotion, Concubine Shun squeezed out a little smile and deliberately reminded Xiao Lang of her identity: "Lang'er, I, I am your mother."

Xiao Lang's expression remained the same as before, and did not change a single bit because of Concubine Shun's reminder, explaining his intentions in a business-like tone.

"Concubine Shun, I have something to say. Your personal maid has caused a lot of trouble because of your status. I have sent someone to deal with her."

Hearing Xiao Lang address her, Concubine Shun's tears fell down a few drops, her heart ached so badly that she couldn't breathe, the number of times she saw Xiao Lang over the years could be counted with two slaps.

Concubine Shun could understand Xiao Lang talking to her like this. The mother and son spent such a short time together that they didn't have much affection.

But emotionally, Concubine Shun still couldn't accept that her biological son was so indifferent to her.

Concubine Shun choked and asked him: "Lang'er, is it because you are blaming me that you don't want to call me mother?"

"No, I didn't blame you." Concubine Shun is just a poor woman, if you want to blame it, you can blame it, that dog emperor who is not as good as a beast!
Xiao Lang saw her pitiful appearance in tears, thinking about how gentle she was towards her after giving him his life.

"Then you don't have anything else to say?" Concubine Shun was greedy and wanted to get her son's attention and care.

Xiao Lang thought for a while and said, "I've had a good life these years."

Concubine Shun heard a lot of things that made her uncomfortable from this sentence, and the tears were like rain, one by one.

"Lang'er, I'm sorry, mother."

Xiao Lang looked at the crying Concubine Shun a little at a loss, he had no experience in getting along with female elders, so he didn't know that Concubine Shun could make up so many things in his brain.

Because Xiao Lang was clumsy and didn't know how to comfort her, Concubine Shun didn't cry for too long.

Concubine Shun asked again unwillingly: "Lang'er, is that why you came today?"

Xiao Lang originally wanted to say that today is the anniversary of his father's death, but seeing the tears on Concubine Shun's face, he suppressed the words and nodded.

He was most afraid of a woman who would cry whenever she wanted to cry, and he really couldn't stand the offensive of women's tears.

Concubine Shun took a deep look at him, and asked something irrelevant: "Lang'er, do you like that little girl so much?"

Xiao Lang looked stunned, but the shyness in his eyes was caught by Concubine Shun, which made her feel even more displeased with Yan Xiaowan.

Concubine Shun is a smart person, she didn't show her likes and dislikes towards Yan Xiaowan, instead she seriously praised Yan Xiaowan's act of trying medicine by herself.

Xiao Lang was delighted to hear his sweetheart being praised by his birth mother, and this subtle change was captured by Concubine Shun again.

The mother and son had a conversation, Xiao Lang left quickly because the queen's nanny came to ask Concubine Shun to serve the emperor.

The queen's nanny is a thoughtful person, and she can tell at a glance that something is wrong with Concubine Shun.

While speaking, the nanny glanced at Concubine Shun a few more times, secretly wondering what happened to Concubine Shun so she couldn't control her emotions.Back in the queen's palace, the nanny immediately informed the queen of this discovery.
