Chapter 35: No one cares about the heartbroken old man? !

Duke Wang first glared at Lu Yao, and then looked at Jiang Yingcheng in front of the door.

His daughter-in-law had just given birth to a baby girl a few months ago. She was now in a state of madness and love for beautiful dolls. When she saw such a cute little ball of ice and snow at first glance, her whole aura turned pink.

He searched the counter in the corner and finally found the candies that his family had brought in a while ago. He turned and walked to the door, half-knelt on the ground, stretched out his hand and teased, "Call me Grandpa Wang, and these candies will be yours."

Lu Yao's heart skipped a beat.

This Duke Wang must have missed his little granddaughter so much that he wants to tease anyone he sees.

But can this little princess be teased casually?

He was just about to ask Mr. Wang to be more patient when he saw Jiang Yingcheng call out "Grandpa Wang" in a crisp voice and quickly grabbed the candies into his hands.

Lu Yao and Eunuch Changshun looked at each other with complicated expressions, then turned away tacitly, trying to pretend that they had not heard the fierce words just now.

Wang Jingluansi didn't notice the strange expressions of the two people at all. He still squatted there and continued to tease, "Whose little dumpling are you? When Grandpa Wang leaves here, Grandpa will take you to my house to play with my little sister, okay?"

"My father's name is Jiang Yanchuan," Jiang Yingcheng raised his chubby face and smiled sweetly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation, "When can Grandpa Wang come out? I want to go play with my little sister as soon as possible."

Life in the palace was good in every way except that there were no children of similar age to play with her. Grandpa Wang's suggestion really touched her heart!

Jiang Yingcheng was eager to try, and wished he could take Grandpa Wang away from here immediately to play with his little sister.

Wang Jinglun suddenly widened his eyes, and without paying attention, he sat down on the ground with a thump.

He raised his head with his eyes wide open, looking at Lu Yao diagonally above him, his lips parted: "You..."

What are you doing bringing a princess to this cell?

Do you think he didn't die quickly enough?

Lu Yao lowered his eyes and looked at Duke Wang lying on the ground. As if he wanted to deliberately anger him, he curled the corners of his lips and uttered a very clear sneer.

Are you scared now?

Make you lose your shape.

But despite the commotion, he had not forgotten his business. He leaned forward and said, "This Mr. Wang... is the elder who was wrongfully imprisoned that I mentioned to you before."

He maliciously emphasized the pronunciation of the word "grandfather", which shows that he has a very strong desire for revenge.

Jiang Yingcheng blinked his eyes, then he remembered what he heard before entering the room.

[Brother Tong, Brother Tong, did Grandpa Wang really collaborate with the enemy and sell out the country? ]

Lu Yao and Eunuch Changshun both breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as this matter can arouse the little princess's interest, the purpose of this trip will be half achieved.

Both of them stared at Jiang Yingcheng, and were startled by Wang Jinglun who suddenly climbed onto the wooden door.

Wang Jinglun's eyes widened, and he pointed at Jiang Yingcheng with a trembling finger, but his eyes were looking at Lu Yao: "You, you just..."

Do you hear any noise?

Lu Yao secretly thought that this was bad. He never expected that Lord Wang could hear the little princess's thoughts at this time. He could only quickly make a "huh" gesture towards him and said in a very low voice: "I'll explain it to you later."

Fortunately, the little princess' attention was diverted by that sentence, and was drawn back by "Brother Tong's" reply.

【real?】

After Lu Yao finally signaled to Lord Wang with his eyes not to make it public, he began to listen attentively to the little princess's thoughts.

The sound just now was slightly surprised, and it was obvious that "Brother Tong" had found out something.

[Grandpa Wang is so unlucky. He took in an orphan out of kindness, but she turned out to be the daughter of an enemy general.]

[This woman also secretly slipped a letter from the enemy prince into Master Wang's study! ]

【Ungrateful! Simply ungrateful! 】

It was obvious that the little princess was very angry about this matter, but Lu Yao glanced at Duke Wang with a look of annoyance on his face.

Lord Wang never puts on airs because of his noble status, so he is very popular and can chat with anyone.

This is how Lu Yao became acquainted with him.

Later, Lu Yao was punished by Emperor Mingze for improper handling of official duties, and it was Duke Wang who pleaded for him, thus sparing him physical pain.

The relationship between the two of them began to become closer from then on.

He also knew that Duke Wang had taken in an orphan girl some time ago. He had even privately investigated the identity of that girl, but after finding nothing, he reminded Duke Wang to be careful of this person, but did not attract the other party's attention.

At that time, Lord Wang even boasted that he was always good at judging people and that the woman would definitely not have any bad intentions, so he told Lu Yao not to interfere.

"Heh." Lu Yao opened his lips and chuckled.

Are you embarrassed?

Are you still stubborn?

Duke Wang lowered his head in shame.

He was shocked at being able to suddenly hear the little princess's inner voice, but who knew that even more shocking news was yet to come.

Gu Yurou actually has a problem?

How is that possible?

She is so gentle and kind. She would blame herself for a long time even if she stepped on flowers and plants. How could she do such a thing?

He did not doubt the truthfulness of the story told by "Brother Tong". After all, the incident itself was incredible enough.

but......

He still didn't want to believe that Gu Yurou, who was so kind, would really frame him.

Jiang Yingcheng raised his head, his face was red from the charcoal fire, and his eyes were shining brightly because of the reflection of the flames: "Since Master Wang was framed, then, why don't we start investigating the people around him?"

"We checked," Lu Yao also squatted down, his eyes showing an extremely serious expression, "and found no suspicious persons."

The day he received the news, he began to investigate the whereabouts of the orphan girl, but found nothing.

If not for this, he would not have let Duke Wang stay in this prison for so long.

Jiang Yingcheng lowered her head again and asked for help from her most powerful cheat.

【Brother Tong? 】

007 had anticipated that Jiang Yingcheng would ask this question, so he looked up the relevant plot in advance.

[Hmm? She had those letters with her before she entered the Duke's Mansion?]

Lu Yao was startled when he heard this.

No wonder, when he checked the whereabouts of everyone in the mansion afterwards, he didn't find anything unusual. It turned out that the letter had been with Gu Yurou all along.

But this would make clues more difficult to find.

Fortunately, the little princess didn't make him wait too long.

[Hmm...was that woman spotted by a maid when she sneaked into Master Wang's study?]

[She was afraid that the maid would expose her conspiracy, so she killed the person and threw her into the moat, but the maid was not dead and was rescued later? ]

[Where is Hongsong County? If the maid is in Hongsong County, how can we find her back...]

Jiang Yingcheng's fingers unconsciously scratched on the wooden prison door, and were pulled off by Eunuch Changshun with a distressed look.

Seeing that the young prince was troubled by this matter, Eunuch Changshun glanced at Lu Yao with a hint of resentment.

Lu Yao stood up quickly, and in his excitement, he reached out and touched Jiang Yingcheng's head twice: "But we found out that a maid from the Duke's Mansion mysteriously disappeared a while ago, and we are planning to expand the search area to search the surrounding counties."

"But this trip will definitely be delayed for a long time, and I am...well, weak...well, I will ask Your Highness the Princess to ask His Majesty for mercy."

After saying this, he left the place in a hurry.

Eunuch Changshun also quickly pulled Jiang Yingcheng along and followed.

In the corner that was lively just now, only Lord Wang was left standing there in a trance.

Who is the little princess talking about?

A while ago, Yunying was the only one who suddenly left home, but didn’t she leave a letter in the house saying that her grandmother was ill and she had to go back to take care of her for a few days?

How come he was killed by Gu Yurou again?

And was thrown into the moat?

Why did everyone leave suddenly?

Doesn't anyone care about this heartbroken old man?!
