Lu Yuan didn't even bother to have breakfast, "Let's go now."
Si Chuyu pulled her back to the table. "Ayuan, I said I would help you manage the family business. You don't need to worry about these things. Last night I arranged for people to go to various counties, especially Huayang County. With Mo Yunfei in Luyuan Qionglou, there will be no trouble today..."
Lu Yuan didn't expect that the secret guards trained by the Si family were so capable that they would go directly to Mo Yunfei.
"How do you know Mo Yunfei's identity?"
Si Chuyu smiled and said, "Of course I have investigated everything. You are in charge of such a large business, so I must pay attention to the people under my command. Otherwise, if a traitor appears, you will be worried and unable to sleep."
Lu Yuan felt warm at heart when he heard this. He was already old, so why was he still so easily moved like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old in front of Si Chuyu?
Lu Yuan smiled charmingly: "Ayu, it's great to have you. However, I want to go back and ask Second Aunt and Fourth Aunt why they did this."
"Don't worry, there will be a result within three days. Second Aunt and Fourth Aunt can't get away. But they are elders after all, so we still need to let Grandfather know about this matter. We still need to listen to his opinion on how to deal with it."
How to deal with it?
Lu Yuan thought about his own poor health over the years and his sister's incurable dementia for many years. This time he even poisoned his sister to kill her, and was so vicious that he didn't want his grandfather to fall into a coma.
It’s not a pity that they died!
Thinking of Xiao Lingyu's words, she felt that there might be other hidden reasons behind her mother's difficult labor.
But she couldn't wait that long!
We must find out the truth of what happened back then as soon as possible.
"Mrs. Su told me that there might be other reasons behind my mother's difficult childbirth. I think my second and fourth aunts are involved."
Si Chuyu lowered his eyes and glanced at Lu Yuan's belly. He was afraid that they were pregnant.
Lu Yuan noticed the look in his eyes. "I'm certain our child was born from my excessive fatigue and grief. Second Aunt, Fourth Aunt, and the others didn't have the guts to murder the Si family's heir. At most, they tampered with the medicine to prevent my recovery. Now, we need to investigate what happened on the day my mother gave birth?"
"Leave this to me. Let's eat quickly. Sister Yao'er is still waiting for you to give her medicine."
After Lu Yuan settled Lu Yao, he took Nan Xiang and Nuan Yu to the woodshed.
“Snap! Snap! Snap!…”
Nanxiang and Nuanyu came in and slapped Qiaoyun left and right.
Lu Yuan sat aside and saw that he didn't even cry for mercy. His expression softened a little. It was not until he gritted his teeth that Lu Yuan stopped.
Nan Xiang reached out and pulled him up from the ground, kneeling before Lu Yuan. "You're a traitor, isn't the eldest lady treating you well? You actually want to be a running dog for the second and fourth wives!"
"My dear lady, I know that I have committed a grave sin. I had no choice but to do this. They used the blood and flesh of my family to force me to do this. I cannot bear to watch my family die because of me."
Lu Yuan said coldly: "Why didn't you come and tell me when they forced you? Wouldn't I help you rescue your family?"
"I was terrified at the time. Under their watchful eyes, I and my family would have perished. It's too late for me to say anything now. I know I have committed a grave sin, and I will leave it to you, young lady, to deal with me."
Now that she has been discovered, Qiao Yun feels extremely relieved. She no longer has to do bad things against her conscience.
Lu Yuan stared at Qiao Yun's miserable face for a moment and then looked away. She couldn't be soft-hearted.
"I remember six years ago, you and Sumin were accompanying the Second Young Lady in the mansion. Do you know what happened on the day my mother gave birth?"
"That day, Madam was in the garden with the Second Young Miss admiring the flowers when she suddenly had a stomachache, as if she was about to give birth. When the midwife took Madam to her room, the nanny wanted to go in with her to help, but Madam said that the Second Young Miss was still young and it would bring bad luck to her to go into the delivery room, so she asked the two of us to take her back to Begonia Garden."
"That day, Madam was crying and shouting incessantly. Second Miss was worried about Madam, so she went to Madam's courtyard while I and the nanny weren't paying attention. But when we rushed over, there was no sign of Second Miss. Only Madam II and Madam IV were waiting outside the door with a few nannies and maids. They said they hadn't seen Second Miss there, so I and the nanny searched everywhere in the mansion for Second Miss."
Lu Yuan said, "Finally, you found her in the Second Young Lady's room. She was already unconscious and had a high fever, right?"
"right."
How did Yaoer get back to her room? What happened in between?
Perhaps there was indeed another hidden reason behind my mother's difficult labor.
"Then when did they find you and ask you to do these things?"
"On the third day after the Second Young Lady woke up, I don't know why they came to me. It might be because I know a few words and have family members that can be used to manipulate me."
Lu Yuan remembered that Qiao Yun's family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet, but her parents never thought of selling their children for money.
It was Qiao Yun who sold herself as a slave to the Lu Mansion in order to prevent her younger brothers and sisters from starving to death.
It seems that I will have to consider many factors before buying servants for the mansion in the future.
Lu Yuan stood up and said, "Let's go."
Qiao Yun hugged Lu Yuan's legs and said, "Miss, please have mercy and save my family. I have kept the notes they sent me over the years. They are all written by the Second Madam and the Fourth Madam..."
Nanxiang and Nuanyu quickly pulled her away, "You have the nerve to beg Miss now? If you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place!"
Lu Yuan glanced down at her and said, "Nanxiang, Nuanyu, take her with you and follow her to get it."
Qiao Yun returned to her room, crawled under the bed, and took out a box from under the innermost brick.
"Miss, everything is here."
Lu Yuan opened it and flipped through it. It was indeed the handwriting of her second aunt and fourth aunt. She was so angry that her chest heaved.
Nan Xiang quickly stepped forward and stroked her back, "Miss, you must not get angry. If you get angry, you will hurt your body, and that will satisfy them."
Nuan Yu echoed, "Yes, Miss, you must not get angry."
Lu Yuan took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, then looked at Qiao Yun, "Just confess here! Someone, keep him under strict supervision."
Su Min saw from afar that Lu Yuan left Qiao Yun's room with a bad face. There were servants and guards guarding outside the door. She realized the seriousness of the matter and felt scared when she thought of the stupid things she had done in the past. She was really old and confused. She actually went against her master's wishes and made decisions on her own.
Lu Yuan subconsciously turned around to glance at Su Min's back, "Nanxiang, go call the nanny to the main courtyard."
Su Min entered the main hall with a nervous heart. She glanced at Lu Yuan, who was sitting at the top seat with a sullen expression, and said carefully, "Miss, you are looking for this old servant."
Lu Yuan asked directly, "Do you still remember what happened on the day my mother gave birth six years ago?"
Su Min thought about what had happened in the past few days. Now that Qiao Yun was in custody, she suddenly realized something, "Miss, six years ago, Madam took the Second Miss to the garden to enjoy the flowers. She suddenly had a stomachache and asked this old servant and Qiao Yun to look after the Second Miss..."
