"Miss Ye?"

"princess?"

Ye Qingqing and the woman exclaimed in surprise at the same time, their expressions stunned.

The middle-aged woman who came out was actually Prince Edward's mother, the Princess of M country.

A sudden thought struck Ye Qingqing, and she remembered the princess's new book, "The Massacre of the Whole Family," which was going to be signed tomorrow. She blurted out, "You wouldn't happen to be Detective Luo Luo's granddaughter, would you?"

She should have realized it sooner. The princess's Chinese name is Luo Xinyi, which is the same as Detective Luo Luo's surname. She also wrote a book called "The Massacre of a Family." With so many coincidences, she should have read the princess's new book first, so she wouldn't have to go through all that trouble.

Princess Luo's expression changed slightly. She had deliberately concealed her grandfather's true identity, so how could this Miss Ye know?

She looked at her niece, Luo Yonglan, with a sharp gaze. Luo Yonglan stuck out her tongue. "Auntie, it wasn't me who said it. They went to my grandfather's place to ask about the Gong family. I happened to run into them and brought them over."

Princess Luo was skeptical, so Ye Qingqing quickly explained, "That's right. I really didn't know beforehand that Your Highness was a descendant of Inspector Luo Luo. I went to see Mr. Luo Hua first, but he kicked us out."

Luo Yonglan scoffed, "My grandfather is a coward, he definitely won't tell, and besides, he doesn't know much."

Princess Luo then believed her and asked doubtfully, "Are you descendants of the Gong family?"

"No, no, we have no connection with the Gong family. A friend of mine happened to buy the Gong family's old house, and because it was a haunted house, he became interested in investigating it." Lu Mo quickly explained, without mentioning that Ding Ba and Gong Yi looked very similar.

Princess Luo smiled slightly, looked at them meaningfully, and gestured for them to come inside. "Let's talk inside!"

Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo exchanged a smile. As long as Princess Luo was willing to talk, this trip would definitely be fruitful.

The decoration inside the house is not luxurious at all, but very simple, just like an ordinary family's home. However, the decoration and furniture are of the highest quality, and the simplicity exudes a touch of elegance.

An elderly man in his sixties or seventies came out from behind, carrying a small shovel and a few tender cucumbers with blossoms and thorns. He didn't see Ye Qingqing and the others. He kept talking in a heavy Pingjiang accent.

"You and Edward both love salads, so I specially picked the tenderest ones. I'll make a salad later. But if you ask me, our cucumber salad is still the best. With some sweet and sour garlic, it smells amazing... Oh... we have guests..."

The old man muttered to himself for a while before realizing there were strangers. He smiled sheepishly and tried to go back inside, but Princess Luo called him back.

“Dad, they’ve come for the Gong family from back then. Please sit down and listen.”

Princess Luo then introduced, "My father, Luo Xiong, would be very happy if you spoke to him in your hometown dialect."

Luo Xiong was immediately delighted. "You're from Pingjiang? Oh my... I haven't heard authentic hometown dialect in over fifty years. What's Pingjiang like now? Is the City God Temple still the same?"

The old man was just as excited as his older brother, asking the same questions. It seems that the City God Temple is a shared happy memory for them.

"When Mr. Luo Hua saw us, he asked us the same question. The City God Temple is basically the same as before, but some parts have been renovated. If you have time, you can go back to your hometown and take a look. Pingjiang has changed a lot now," Ye Qingqing said with a smile.

Luo Xiong sighed, looking dejected.

Princess Luo couldn't stand it anymore. "Father, so many years have passed. The person Grandpa was afraid of is long dead. It would be good for you and Uncle to go back and visit him now, so you won't keep thinking about it."
