Chapter 181 Aunt Pan has a problem
Lu Jiangnian looked at her deeply, then smiled.
"Well, you probably guessed wrong. Even if Qihuangzhai had great courage, it would not dare to hide a wanted criminal of the imperial court who had been executed along with his entire clan in the capital."
"Just don't mention the three words 'Doctor Tang' in public."
Since Yuan Wanru knew the whole story, she would certainly not speak without restraint.
It’s just that, “I think there’s something fishy about this case.”
"Logically, since Empress Sun valued him so much, he wouldn't have tried to murder the Empress. He ended up with his entire clan being executed. What was his motive?"
Lu Jiangnian looked out the window with a far-reaching gaze, and said in a deep tone: "When the incident happened, the prince and I were about seven or eight years old. I still remember the prince's despair, pain and anger."
The emperor and the empress had a very good relationship back then. Although he would not neglect the harem, all matters in the harem were decided by the empress and the emperor never interfered.
The Crown Prince was the legitimate son of the Empress. Since birth, he had enjoyed the father-son relationship that other princes had never had. However, all of this disappeared with the death of Empress Sun.
It can be said that the prince's originally beautiful and happy life was completely overturned by this disaster.
Even today, he can't let it go.
"Looking back now, there are indeed some doubts, but this case happened more than ten years ago, and we have no way to verify it."
The case involves the palace walls and the files cannot be consulted at will. Moreover, the emperor and the prince regard it as a hidden pain. Who would bother to touch this brow and bring up the matter again?
"Does the prince think so too? Doesn't he want to find the real murderer who murdered Queen Sun?"
Lu Jiangnian smiled faintly and stretched out his hand to scratch the tip of her delicate nose: "Do you think the emperor closed the case randomly? There must be real evidence to convict Tang Bo."
"Okay, it's an old story, don't think too much about it."
"If you have time to think about those things, you might as well think more about me."
Yuan Wanru hit him and said, "Let me go. I need to go make medicine."
However, Lu Jiangnian held her and rubbed her waist with his hands, which was very seductive.
She looked at him angrily, her cheeks flushed, "Why are you acting like a scoundrel?"
He admitted openly: "When facing you, I am willing to be a scoundrel or a pervert."
"I only ask for a kiss."
…
After all the fuss, we didn't get much medicine, and he got all the benefits.
Her face was flushed, and she was wearing a goose yellow jacket and skirt, which made her snow-white skin look even whiter. Her eyes were shy and pretty, which made Lu Jiangnian feel lustful.
With a sigh, he rested his head on her shoulder: "Madam, your period is almost over, right?"
Yuan Wanru thought of what they had said in the carriage today, and she jumped up as if she had been burned: "No, no, it will take several more days, just wait."
As she said that, she pushed him and said, "Get out of here quickly. It's fine if you can't help, but you keep bothering me."
Lu Jiangnian smiled softly: "Blame me, blame me, I won't mess around again, I'll grind the medicine right away, my lady, please don't chase me away."
"I came back early today just to have a good talk with you. By the way, don't you want to know about the matter of forgiveness that I mentioned last night?"
When this was mentioned, Yuan Wanru stopped trying to chase people away.
"What's wrong with forgiveness?"
This time, Lu Jiangnian really sat in his seat obediently, talking while working: "Second Aunt said before that the reason she found Rong Shu was because she heard about it from Han Pozi, who served Aunt Shen in Second Uncle's room."
"I asked people to keep an eye on Shen and Han, but they didn't see anything."
Lu Jiangnian didn't have the patience to wait. He didn't touch Liang Yusong because it involved various forces. Since he suspected Han Pozi, he would just arrest her directly.
All the methods of interrogating spies were used on Mrs. Han. How tough could she be?
Soon, she confessed.
"She said that it was Pan who gave her some money and asked her to say so."
Pan?
Lu Bai’s pregnant concubine Pan?
How did it come back to her again?
Yuan Wanru couldn't help but think of the fact that Zaohua, who was beside Pan, had framed her, and that Wang Xiaocao had intended to burn her wedding dress. These things were all inextricably linked to this Aunt Pan.
"What is Aunt Pan's background?"
Since Lu Jiangnian had already asked Mrs. Han about Pan, he had naturally investigated Pan's background thoroughly.
"His ancestral home is in a county in the suburbs of the capital. His father is a minor official in the county. He has a clean family background and no worries about food and clothing."
"But her father died unexpectedly, and her family fell into poverty. She was almost sold to an old man by her stepmother. Then she met her second uncle, played a heroic role in saving a beautiful woman, and then became his concubine."
Yuan Wanru frowned. Considering Aunt Pan's identity, there was nothing wrong with it.
"There is no solid evidence. After all, she is my second uncle's woman, so I can't touch her."
"However, she has two maids who serve her personally. If I detain them, I will be able to get some clues from them."
One of them is jujube flower.
This is a good idea, but Aunt Pan is now five months pregnant. She is carrying Lu Bai's blood in her belly. If she gets miscarriage, it could result in someone dying.
"She's pregnant. Isn't this a bit radical?"
Lu Jiangnian sneered, "Don't worry, they will tell you everything in just one night. The five-month-old fetus is already stable. What can happen to her in such a short time?"
"If something really happened, we can only say that she has something to hide."
When Mrs. Han disappeared, Aunt Shen immediately went to her second uncle and second aunt to cry and complain, asking them to report to the police to find her. She could continue to live her life as usual.
If the master leaves his servants, will he not survive?
Especially since Pan was pregnant, if she didn't care about the fetus at all, it would mean that the two maids knew a lot.
Yuan Wanru nodded: "Then let's do as you say."
She even suspected that Aunt Pan had intervened when the original owner fell into the water.
-
At night, Yuan Wanru went to the bathroom to wash up. Lu Jiangnian walked out and asked Aunt Pang privately: "My wife is having her period and she is not feeling well. I am really distressed."
"I don't know if this is a disease. How many days does it usually take for your period to end?"
Aunt Pang's face turned red with embarrassment.
How can a grown man like you ask these questions?
However, he also did it out of love for the eldest young master's wife, and Nanny Pang felt relieved.
"It's okay. Many women have this problem. Madam Eldest Young Master hasn't felt so bad since she got married. Maybe she won't feel any pain after she gives birth."
Lu Jiangnian didn't hear the answer he was most concerned about. He stared at Aunt Pang with a pair of deep eyes: "Then how many days does her period last each time?"
Aunt Pang: ...
The eldest son is so meticulous, it's touching.
"It will be clean in five days, don't worry, young master."
Lu Jiangnian calculated that today was already the third day, which meant that it would be done in two days.
He raised his eyebrows and said in a brisk tone: "My wife is thin-skinned, don't tell her these things."
Nanny Pang naturally responded.
On the other hand, Yuan Wanru was still thinking about lying to Lu Jiangnian and delaying her period for a few days. She didn't believe that a grown man could know how many days it would take for a woman's period to end.
As time goes by, maybe he will forget about it.
