Lu Mansion.
Fan Meiniang's eyes were red and swollen from crying. "Fourth brother, have you sent anyone to investigate? Why hasn't the case been decided yet?"
She was waiting for Gu Yunran to be buried with her son, but she received no news.
Lu Qingzhou was feeling annoyed, but when he saw Fan Meiniang's expression, his heart softened and he coaxed her gently, "The Dali Temple has to follow procedures when handling cases, so it should be done soon."
Fan Meiniang curled her lips and said, "The evidence is solid, what are we waiting for?"
Lu Qingzhou was getting impatient: "The Dali Temple has its own rules."
"Are you mean to me?"
Fan Meiniang raised her head and looked at Lu Qingzhou with tears in her eyes, looking so pitiful.
Her son has been dead for so long, and his body is still warm, but the murderer is still at large. How can she, as a mother, feel good about this?
Just for complaining, should I be scolded?
Fan Meiniang cried even louder. She simply squatted on the ground, covered her face with her hands, and burst into tears. The little girl's body was shaking.
Lu Qingzhou finally softened his heart. He squatted down and held her in his arms.
"I'll go to the Dali Temple right now."
Fan Meiniang's eyes lit up and she grabbed Lu Qingzhou's hand: "I'll go with you. I haven't seen Zhier for a long time. I want to go see him."
She wanted to ask how long it would take to bring Zhier's body back so that he could rest in peace.
"good."
"I'll clean up, you wait for me outside."
Fan Meiniang closed the door and Lu Qingzhou waited outside. She rummaged through the drawers and found some jewelry of good quality and put them in her arms.
She found a plain dress and put it on, and put a white flower on her head.
Seeing herself in the bronze mirror, Fan Meiniang bit her lip and then walked out.
"Let's go."
Fan Meiniang held Lu Qingzhou's arm, and Lu Qingzhou had already asked someone to prepare a carriage.
Taohua was fiddling with flowers and plants in the yard when she saw Fan Meiniang and Lu Qingzhou. She clenched her fists tightly.
It was almost noon when Mu Qianchen finally showed up.
Gu Yunran made him a cup of tea and said, "Master Mu is really busy with all sorts of things. It's been three days since I last saw you."
Mu Qianchen picked up the teacup and slowly used the tea lid to stir the tea leaves in the cup.
"I helped you today, and we'll be even in the future."
Gu Yunran: "I am wronged. It is your duty as the Dali Temple to find out the truth of the matter."
Seeing that Mu Qianchen didn't say anything, she said again: "I can tell you a secret."
"What secrets can you have?"
Mu Qianchen obviously didn't believe it.
Gu Yunran said with certainty: "In a month, there will be a famine."
Mu Qianchen looked at the sky outside and laughed: "The emperor has already asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate it. Don't try to fool me."
Gu Yunran said seriously: "It's not a natural disaster, it's a locust plague."
When Mu Qianchen heard this, his nerves immediately tensed up. He played with the teacup in his hand and looked at Gu Yunran seriously. He saw that the woman's dark eyes were full of determination.
He said, "Okay, I'll believe you this time."
Gu Yunran breathed a sigh of relief: "Just trust me."
In the previous life, at that time, there was a sudden locust plague. Large areas of farmers had no harvest, and most of the grain in the national treasury was used to open warehouses and give away grain.
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the northern barbarians invaded our border again. My grandfather led the army to fight desperately, but no matter how good the soldiers were at fighting, they could not survive without food.
Countless casualties.
My grandfather also sacrificed his life for the country in that battle and died on the frontier.
Later, my uncle brought Lu Qingzhou to support them, and with his tenacity, he repelled the Northern Barbarians. Unfortunately, my uncle never came back.
Only Lu Qingzhou came back.
Emperor Tiansheng was overjoyed and conferred the title of Marquis of Dingyuan on Lu Qingzhou.
Only Gu Yunran knew that Lu Qingzhou was born into a poor scholar family and had no idea how to fight. The reason he was able to come back was because his uncle ordered his men to risk their lives to send him back.
His title of Marquis Dingyuan should also be from his uncle.
However, at that time, she loved Lu Qingzhou so much that she did not fight for her deceased uncle. She thought it was natural for Lu Qingzhou to get it.
"Master Mu must make adequate preparations this month."
She revealed this news to Mu Qianchen in advance, hoping that the tragedy of the previous life would not be repeated, and she didn't want to see starving people everywhere.
Mu Qianchen put down his teacup, lost in thought. After a long pause, he said, "I've already found out the truth."
"Huh?" Gu Yunran looked bewildered. Then she realized what Mu Qianchen was referring to. She asked in surprise, "So soon?"
"What's going on?"
All the accusations were directed at Gu Yunran. She was really at a loss as to what to do. She didn't expect that he would have made some progress in just three days.
"Wait a moment, I'll let her say it herself."
Gu Yunran didn’t know who Mu Qianchen was referring to, but she was very much looking forward to it.
A thousand miles away came to report: "Sir, Lu Shiyuanwailang is here."
"Oh? Quite timely."
Mu Qianchen looked at Gu Yunran: "Let's go and take a look."
Gu Yunran was curious about why Lu Qingzhou came to the Dali Temple.
Follow Mu Qianchen obediently.
In the hall of Dali Temple.
Lu Qingzhou asked: "When will the case be finalized?"
"today."
Fan Mei Niang felt relieved immediately, but she was still worried. She walked forward and cried, "Sir, you have worked so hard on my son's case."
Hu Ba waved his hand: "This is what we should do."
Fan Meiniang cried and looked around. She carefully took out some jewelry from her bosom and calmly stuffed it into Hu Ba's hand.
"I am very grateful to you for bringing the murderer to justice."
