Grandma Tianwang also looked at her with eager eyes. She looked at Leng Yu and whispered,
"Can we have the child's father come? Can we postpone his punishment?"
Leng Yu waved his hand without saying anything.
"Bring Old Wu here."
Luo Lan looked at him and smiled softly:
"Thank you, my husband,"
"Why should you thank me? As General Liu said, military law is ruthless, but people should be compassionate. I don't know the situation of Old Wu's family, but I have to thank you. Otherwise, if he lost his life, what would happen to this orphan and widow?"
"Yes, the child is very pitiful because he has lost both his father and mother..."
When she said this, she thought of An An and her eyes began to redden.
Leng Yu knew her thoughts very well and comforted her softly:
"My dear, I have already asked everyone in the Rebirth Hall to go out and look for An An. I believe there will be clues soon. Don't worry."
Luo Lan sighed in despair and nodded to comfort himself.
"Well, I hope she can come back safely, otherwise..."
Having said this, she stopped talking. At the same time, Xiao Lingzi brought Lao Wu to them.
When Old Wu, who was dressed in prison uniform, saw his mother, he knelt down on the ground without knowing why.
"Mom, I'm so sorry. I can only repay you for raising me in the next life. Also, please take good care of Tianwang. If...if he dies one day, bury him next to me..."
Old Wu's words were so sad that his mother came forward crying and shook her head.
"Son, the prince has already shown leniency to you for the sake of Princess Yu and us, an orphan and a widow. Please stop saying such things. Hurry up and thank the prince and the princess."
When Old Wu heard this, he looked at Leng Yu with disbelief. Seeing Leng Yu's serious expression, he knelt down in front of him.
"Your Majesty, I..."
Leng Yu waved his hand directly.
"Don't say any more. The most urgent thing now is to save your son Tianwang's life. We can talk about other things later."
Tianwang?
Old Wu looked at his mother with surprise and worry.
"What happened to Tianwang?"
Luo Lan took two steps forward and said:
"Tianwang's chest pain is very serious and needs immediate treatment. I can treat him now. I can't guarantee whether I can cure him, and it may be dangerous, but I will do my best. Do you agree to let me treat him?"
As soon as Luo Lan finished speaking, Old Wu was stunned for a moment, and his mother just cried and shook her head.
"I know Princess Yu means well, but..."
At this point, she raised her sleeve to wipe the tears from her face, while Old Wu said anxiously:
"Mother, Princess Yu is the most talented doctor in Daning Kingdom. She is willing to treat Tianwang. What do you have to worry about? We can't be ungrateful."
"I know Princess Yu means well, but...but our family has lost everything. How can we pay for the medical expenses? I..."
Seeing that Tianwang’s grandmother was thinking about the money, Luo Lan frowned and shook his head.
Although she really wanted to tell her that she didn't want money and she could treat Tianwang for free, she couldn't say that.
She didn't want others to think that her labor was cheap, or she didn't want others to think that she was profitable. If that were the case, there would be many people coming to her clinic to take advantage of her, and even more people pretending to be poor to get free medical expenses.
In order to avoid such things from happening, she has been adhering to a principle over the years: for poor people to see a doctor, the medical fee can be waived, but the medicine fee cannot be waived. If they don’t have money, they can owe it first and pay it when they have it. If they don’t have it and never pay it, the money will remain owed.
"Don't worry about the medical expenses. I'll pay you later when I have money. As a doctor, I don't treat patients just for money. Since you agree, I will go and treat Tianwang now. You wait here and don't disturb me."
After saying this, she looked directly at Leng Yu. He nodded to her in understanding. Luo Lan then turned around and re-entered the door.
This heart repair surgery was not difficult for her, it was just a matter of time.
During her operation, Leng Yu and Liu Dechang said a few words, then took Xiao Lingzi and went straight to Prince Ming's Mansion.
He wanted to ask Leng Ming why he arrived at the grove west of the city earlier than them that day, and whether this matter had anything to do with him.
Leng Ming has been hiding at home these days. An An's disappearance was a big blow to him, and he felt that he was the most hateful culprit.
"Prince, Prince Yu is here."
The butler's announcement broke the silence. He came to his senses and frowned in panic.
"Just say that the king is not here and go back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Yu came over with Xiao Lingzi, waving his sleeves. Before he even got close, he asked loudly:
"Why are you avoiding me? Is there something you're hiding, or some shameful secret?"
Leng Ming tried hard to sort out his emotions, stood up from his chair with some worry, and went over to meet him.
"Fourth brother, how come you have time to come to Prince Ming's Mansion?"
Leng Yu glanced at the housekeeper. Leng Ming waved his hand and the housekeeper hurriedly retreated. Leng Yu turned sideways and said to Xiao Lingzi:
"Go wait for me outside and don't let anyone in."
"yes."
After leaving some words, Xiao Lingzi turned around and left.
When only the two brothers were left here, Leng Ming felt a little nervous. He saw anger and suspicion in Leng Yu's eyes.
However, he still pretended to be calm and waved his hands:
"Fourth brother, please sit down."
"No need. I came here today to ask a few questions. After I'm done, I'll leave."
"Fourth brother, please speak."
Now that things have come to this, Leng Ming knows that he can't escape even if he wants to.
Leng Yu's face suddenly turned ashen, and he asked with a cold brow:
"Why did you appear there before us on the day An An disappeared? How did you know they would be there?"
this……
Leng Ming's face was a little pale, his fingers were digging into his palms hard, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"explain……"
Leng Yu's voice suddenly rose, startling Leng Ming so much that he shuddered. Then he replied in panic:
"That day... that day was Ghost Festival, and I was thinking... thinking about Huaiyu who kept clamoring to see his mother. Maybe, maybe they would go there."
"You're lying."
Leng Yu raised his sharp eyes and looked at him, step by step closer, and asked with a fierce look:
"What happened that day? What did you say to them? Why did they go to the grove west of the city?"
His gaze made Leng Ming dodge constantly, but he was unable to dodge it in time.
“I…this…”
"explain……"
Leng Yu's shout, like the roar of a lion, resounded in every corner of Prince Ming's Mansion, making people shudder with fear.
Leng Ming suddenly knelt on the ground, his eyes reddened as he bit his lips and said terrifiedly:
"Fourth brother, I'm wrong. It's my fault. Please hit me. I didn't expect An An to get lost. It's my fault."
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Leng Yu didn't want to hold him accountable at this time. He just wanted to know why those children suddenly went up the mountain in the middle of the night.
