Lu Erlang is the legitimate son of the Lu family, and his disappearance is by no means a trivial matter.
The young masters of the Lu family were busy looking for people. The clues gradually gathered in the middle, and several families were circled as key suspects. Among these suspects, the Hengyang Palace was also included. Because there was evidence that Lu Erlang had been close to the Hengyang Prince recently; the Hengyang Palace had changed guards in the past two days, and it was hard to say what the reason was. The young masters of the Lu family naturally used their connections to find out these things.
The more we unravel the mystery, the closer we get to the truth.
The Lu family was busy looking for someone, and Mrs. Lu was so anxious that she cried at home. Mrs. Lu had a lot on her mind, thinking about how her son would meet with an unexpected accident, how he would meet a bad person, how he would be held hostage... She even imagined that Lu Erlang had lost his memory, became a slave and a beggar in a foreign land, and was bullied by others.
Mrs. Lu was depressed. She couldn't tell the old lady and make her cry with her. Her sister-in-law Lu Ying had always been at odds with her and couldn't listen to her. Mrs. Lu actually found her cousin Luo Lingyu and complained to her about how pitiful Lu Erlang was.
Luo Lingyu: “…”
Luo Lingyu was puzzled: "But if we haven't found the person, how can you think of the worst outcome?"
Luo Lingyu consoled him optimistically: "Maybe my second cousin just went out of town with his friends to go to a temple to listen to Zen or learn painting. My second cousin doesn't have any bad relations with anyone, and the Lu family is also well-known in Jianye. Who would take the initiative to harm him?"
Mrs. Lu cried until her eyes were swollen and she was in low spirits: "You are so young and not a mother, how can you understand my worries? Alas."
Luo Lingyu: “…”
This is the first time I realize that this cousin is so sentimental and thinks so much!
…
Lu Erlang was missing, and the Lu family was busy. Lu Yun had a problem with his eyesight, so he didn't go home for several days. Lu Yun still had a lot of feelings for his second brother. When Erlang was missing, Lu Yun was extra careful to find him. Seeing that everyone in the mansion was so busy, Luo Lingyu blushed and felt embarrassed to keep pressuring Lu Yun about Fan Lang's marriage.
How could Lu Yun have so much time to find Erlang and help her with her marriage? He probably didn't have the heart to think about love right now.
The entire Lu family was busy looking for Lu Erlang, and Luo Lingyu was urged by Fan Qingchen for days, so she could only endure it silently. However, Fan Qingchen was a lunatic. He was quite gentle at first, but later his temper became more and more irritable. The way he stared at her maid scared Luo Lingyu so much that cold sweat ran down her back.
She was always afraid that Fan Qingchen would not be able to tolerate her excuses and would do something out of control.
Luo Lingyu hesitated: Lu Yun is too busy to help me, and I don’t want to ask him again. Should I ask another man for help?
She looked through all the men she knew who were attracted to her, still hesitating, remembering Lu Yun's words to "guard" her. But it didn't seem to work.
…
Man Jianye is looking for Lu Erlang. The Hengyang Palace has been affected, and it feels like Lu Sanlang is watching it these days. Liu Mu, however, remains calm and pretends not to know. As long as Lu Xian dies cleanly and the scene is cleaned up well, even if Lu Sanlang suspects him, he has no solid evidence.
They didn't know that Princess Liu Tang of Ningping saved Lu Erlang and Lu Xian who were washed up by the water while relaxing in her own villa in the suburbs.
Not only did the Lu family gentlemen not know, even Liu Tang himself didn't know.
Liu Tang naturally knew Lu Erlang.
But when her servants pulled the man out of the water, Liu Tang just took a look. The man was soaked in the water and Liu Tang didn't recognize who he was. She handed him over to the servants to take care of him and didn't care about him herself. Even if Liu Tang had a gentle temperament, she was still a proper princess. No matter how kind she was, she couldn't take care of a man with her servants.
As long as Liu Tang took a look at that person, she would recognize that this was Erlang who had been lost from the Lu family.
But Liu Tang didn't.
Lu Erlang fell into the hands of the princess' maids, with a high fever and constant nightmares. He tried hard to wake up, but the nightmares kept haunting him -
Always dreaming of my cousin Luo.
I dreamed that she was crying non-stop.
Lu Sanlang was busy with official business and was not at home. She escaped from the clutches of the King of Hengyang and went out to look for Lu Yun. Unfortunately, she did not meet him. Instead, she met her fiancé Fan Qingchen who came to look for her. Naturally, she was unwilling to admit in front of Fan Qingchen that she was looking for Lu Yun. When the King of Hengyang came again, she could only pretend to like him.
Having missed that opportunity, Lu Yun stayed away from the house all day and had no idea what state Luo Lingyu had been pushed into by both sides.
On June 19, Fan Qingchen came again to urge her to get married, saying that if she didn't go with him, he would take some measures that she didn't like.
It was on this day that Luo Lingyu was injured. After much hesitation, she walked into the Hengyang Prince's Palace and completely surrendered to the Hengyang Prince...
…
June 19th.
It is Luo Lingyu’s birthday.
She came of age on this day.
But she was just a cousin who was staying at the Lu family. The Lu family was busy looking for Erlang. Even if they didn't look for Erlang, no one would remember Luo Lingyu's coming-of-age ceremony. It turned out that Luo Lingyu wanted to use the opportunity of helping Mrs. Lu to host a banquet to invite all the girls to the Lu family for a banquet. Without them knowing, she held this coming-of-age ceremony for herself.
Unfortunately, Fan Qingchen messed up the situation and Lu Erlang disappeared, so the Lu family is in no mood to hold a banquet.
When she woke up in the morning and opened her eyes, Luo Yunhuan stood outside her sister's bed and said with a smile, "Sister, today is your birthday. Sister Lingxi and I made a gift for you!"
Luo Lingyu got up happily - her daughter's fifteenth birthday was naturally different from usual days.
Only my sister remembers.
Chapter 68
Miss Luo Yunhuan was counting her sister's birthdays on her fingers - in this world, the only one who remembered Luo Lingyu's birthday and wanted to celebrate it for her was her little sister, right?
Luo Yunhuan smiled and brought out the longevity noodles that she and her maid Lingxi had made early in the morning. After her sister took a bite, she shyly took out a wrinkled purse. Luo Lingyu blinked, and the younger sister blushed all of a sudden, and said very embarrassedly: "I embroidered very hard! But you arranged so much homework for me every day, I didn't have enough time to embroider the purse. The embroidery is not good-looking because I was in too little time. Otherwise, I would definitely give you a beautiful purse."
