Chapter 37 A pair of freaks

Although they said they were delivering a visiting card, the Gong couple had actually been waiting at the gate of Marquis Anyuan's mansion.

Du Xueyi went to the front yard alone to meet the guests.

Wei Qingyan thought that after the matter was made public, her old friends and relatives might come to Du Xueyi to inquire about the inside story, but she did not expect that the first ones to arrive would be her elder sister and others.

Her eldest sister was about the same age as her mother, and when she was old enough to remember, she was already married.

Her mother was worried that her identity would be discovered, so she didn't like her sisters to be close to her. Her grandmother also didn't like her mother being a second daughter-in-law, and as a result, she and Wanyi were also disliked.

When she was young, her grandmother took her three older sisters back to her ancestral home. Although her eldest sister married in the capital, she rarely returned to her parents' home.

They would only meet during the New Year holidays, but because of the big age difference and the gender difference at that time, he and his eldest sister were very polite and distant.

Although she knew that her elder sister and the others must have come for her matter, she was now a daughter of the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion, and it would not be appropriate for her to rashly follow Du Xueyi to see them.

When she arrived at Yan Lan's yard, she was staring at the windowsill with red eyes. When she saw her coming, she hurriedly stood up and greeted her and sat down.

Wei Qingyan sat down beside her and just opened his mouth, "Yan Lan..."

"Miss Chang, did you kill Luo Chengzhou?" Yan Lan also spoke at the same time.

They left the Wu Mansion together, and just as they got on the carriage, Miss Chang jumped out of the carriage under the cover of the Rong Prince's Mansion.

Miss Chang did not return to the carriage until it entered the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion.

Not long after, it was heard that Luo Chengzhou committed suicide and left a blood letter.

Wei Qingyan did not deny it, "Yes."

"So, you asked him to write that blood letter too? You know what happened three years ago, right?"

On his way to Beijing, Luo Chengzhou was not very optimistic about finding a job in the capital.

Although she had a bad relationship with Luo Chengzhou, she knew him to some extent. If he really had something on Wu Yuchu, he would not be anxious about the task, but would be confident and even proud.

Luo Chengzhou didn't know Wu Yuchu's secret, so it could only be that the person who killed him made him write that way.

Yan Lan was very excited and grabbed Wei Qingyan's hand. "My brother didn't die in Huangshaling. He was killed by Wu Yuchu, right? Then where is he?"

"I don't know." Wei Qingyan said apologetically, "Sorry, Yan Lan, I've been looking for him and investigating the person who harmed him..."

She briefly recounted how Yan Qing was drugged in Ganzhou City, fled to Yongzhou, was chased by men in black, and finally disappeared.

"No." Yan Lan shook her head. "You don't have to apologize. I know. I know you're all doing this for my own good. You can't bear to see me suffer. I know..."

"But..." She slowly squatted down, "But, where is my brother? What happened to him before he died? I should know."

Her voice began to contain suppressed tears, "My brother said that he will become an outstanding deputy general beside the Protector General like father in the future.

He said that dying on the battlefield is the fate of a soldier, and even if that day comes, I don't have to feel sad, I should be happy for him.

After hearing about the tragic situation at Huangshaling, I tried to convince myself that my brother sacrificed his life for his country and that his death was meaningful..."

Wei Qingyan also squatted down and patted her on the back, "Yan Lan, I promise you, I will find him and make the real murderer pay with blood."

"Miss Chang, why do you know the truth?"

Yan Lan raised her tearful face and looked at Wei Qingyan. After asking, she hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting you. I just want to know more."

Wei Qingyan was silent for a moment, "Have you ever been curious about why I know about Tiger Leopard Ridge?"

Yan Lan nodded.

Wei Qingyan pointed to his eyes and said, "I saw it. If a person has an obsession after death, I can see some images."

This is unbelievable.

Yan Lan's face was filled with shock.

Wei Qingyan continued, "Qingyan's obsession is to find out the truth, avenge the National Protection Army, and... protect the people she wants to protect."

Yan Lan suddenly burst into tears.

No wonder!

No wonder, she had never met Miss Chang before, but she was overly nice to her.

turn out to be.

It turned out to be Qingyan!

"Sister Lan, if you don't want to get married, Yan Qing and I will cancel the engagement for you. If you do want to get married, then stand up straight and live happily and wantonly. You have Yan Qing and me behind you, and we will protect you."

That year, the Luo family came to Beijing to carry out the wedding.

Linzhou is far away from the capital, so she hesitated a little. Qingyan saw what she was thinking and said these words to her.

It was her, she was the one who thought that it was the marriage arranged for her by her mother.

She didn't want to disappoint her mother.

"I've failed Qingyan in his kindness to me." Yan Lan pounded her chest, "I shouldn't have married him."

If she had not married into the Luo family, she would not be trapped and perhaps she would have known the truth earlier.

Wei Qingyan also recalled that incident and whispered, "You were right to obey your mother's orders. What was wrong was that they had ulterior motives and deceived you into marriage. They also treated you badly. Now that it's over, Qingyan hopes that you live well."

Yan Lan nodded repeatedly.

She will.

She can no longer let down those who treat her well.

"Miss Chang, thank you." Yan Lan wiped her tears, "Don't worry, I will keep your matter confidential."

Being different from ordinary people is not a good thing, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Especially Miss Chang, who killed many people for her.

Thinking of what Miss Chang had done for her, she felt that the two words "thank you" were too weak. "If there's anything I can do for you in the future, please just let me know."

Wei Qingyan smiled gently and handed her a glass of water. "Okay, if you need anything, I will definitely be polite to you."

Yan Lan took it, drank some water, and after a while, she suddenly asked, "Miss Chang, does Luo Chengzhou have any obsession?"

"High official position and generous salary."

This is also where Wei Qingyan has doubts.

The Wei Dynasty followed the rules of the previous dynasty and the prince consort of a princess was not allowed to participate in politics.

Luo Chengzhou must be aware of this, but he still had that kind of relationship with Luo Congyun, just with the intention of becoming his son-in-law in the future.

Since he was a son-in-law of the emperor, he was considered a rich and idle man. How could he get a high position and generous salary? Luo Chengzhou's obsession was to be second only to the emperor and above everyone else.

Is there any other reason behind this?

For some reason, Wei Qingyan always felt that it was important to find out Luo Congyun's background.

I don’t know how Shi Yu’s investigation is going.

at the same time.

In the temple outside the city, Shi Yu frowned, "Giving birth to a pair of monsters?"

After he and Wei Qingyan went to Wu Mansion last time, he ordered Dong Zang to investigate the concubine who had disappeared that year.

"Yes." Dong Zang replied in a low voice, "I heard that it has a pointed nose and monkey cheeks, looks more like an animal than a human, and was born without a breath.

One of the two midwives was frightened to death at the time, and the other died of heart palpitations shortly afterwards.

Concubine Shu also went mad and killed everyone who served her. She was later imprisoned in the backyard by the then Crown Prince, who was also the Emperor.

Shi Yu, who grew up in the palace, knew there was a conspiracy as soon as he heard it.

How could a human give birth to an animal? I'm afraid someone must have tampered with it.

Similarly, the emperor would not fail to think of this.

"Have you found out where Concubine Shu came from?"

Dong Zang shook his head, “All we found out is that she was a young lady from a martial arts sect. In order to sever ties with the emperor and her family, even the name on the jade disc was given by the emperor.

The Emperor must have been truly moved back then, and I heard he doted on her immensely, but I don't know why he later let her leave the palace."

"Besides Concubine Shu, have you found out that the Emperor has anyone else?"

"We haven't found out yet, but the emperor has never been greedy for women. I'm afraid that Luo Congyun is Concubine Shu's child."

Shi Yu stared and thought for a while, "Let's check on Madam Wu again. If Luo Congyun is one of the freaks, why did he end up in Madam Wu's hands? And where is the other one?"
