Leng Yu looked at him coldly and said word by word:
"It was because you returned from the battles with my army that year and were unaware of what Qin Dahu had done. I also saw you personally combing your old mother's hair. A filial person is definitely not an evil person, so I spared your life. I just didn't expect that you would end up going down the wrong path."
Qin Erhu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists without saying a word, seeming to be thinking about something.
After a while, he said bitterly:
"My mother is dead, and I have nothing to worry about. Even if you let me go today, I won't be grateful to you. You killed my eldest brother back then, and I will avenge you sooner or later."
Leng Yu frowned, looked at the person beside him, and snorted, "This person knows best what your eldest brother did back then. If you don't believe it, you might as well ask him."
Hearing this, Qin Erhu turned to look at the person next to him. The person lowered his head and mumbled, "Second brother, I... I don't know."
"You say you don't know?"
Leng Yu's pupils suddenly darkened, and he roared in a low voice,
"Back then, your eldest brother, Qin Dahu, was a villain and a scourge to the people of the village. After losing money in the casino, he resorted to stealing and robbing. He also forced decent women into his service, abducting women from the countryside and selling them to brothels, all to satisfy his lust for money. How dare you say you didn't know about this?"
Hearing this, Qin Xiaohu lowered his head and did not dare to look him in the eye.
Qin Erhu hurriedly shook his head. "No, that's not the case. You're talking nonsense. Although I wasn't home during those years, I know that my eldest brother has sacrificed a lot for this family. He's not that kind of person. Don't slander him."
After saying this, he looked at the people around him through the cage and said, "Xiao Hu, you said, what he said is not true, he is lying to me."
Xiaohu pursed his lips, lowered his head, and whispered:
"I was still young back then, and I don't know what my eldest brother did. I only know that my mother would often get so angry at him that she would hold her chest and cry. She would often ask what sins she had committed in her past life to have given birth to him? She would also call him a black sheep."
Hearing this, Qin Erhu looked at Qin Xiaohu in astonishment, with an expression of disbelief.
Leng Yu half-closed his eyes and said coldly again:
"Go away! Don't do evil anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Lan waved to Ahou and Zhang Yuan. Although they were reluctant, they had no choice but to pick up their swords and cut open the net cage tied to them.
Looking down from above, Leng Yu said to the two people on the ground:
"Qin Erhu, you fought in the army back then. Although you were just an ordinary soldier, you were still a man. I don't know how you ended up like this. I'll let you go today, but if you fall into my hands again, I'll kill you like I did your elder brother."
Qin Erhu looked at him, slowly stood up, and asked again with puzzled eyes:
"Are you really willing to let me go? Don't you want to know who wants to kill you?"
Leng Yu's mouth twitched slightly, a dark look appeared in the depths of his eyes, and he said in a cold voice:
"There are many people who want me, Leng Yu, dead. Knowing one more or one less makes no difference, so I don't want to know."
Hearing him say this, Qin Erhu was stunned for a moment, then clasped his fists towards Leng Yu and said:
"Today, my brother and I were defeated and fell into your Yu Palace. You killed my eldest brother back then and owe me a life. So, if you release us brothers today, the grudge between you and me will be wiped out."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Xiaohu and was about to climb over the wall when Luo Lan stopped him.
"etc……"
Qin Erhu turned back with a suspicious look on his face, "Does Prince Yu regret it?"
Luo Lan replied helplessly:
"Prince Yu's Mansion isn't one where you can just enter and leave as you please. Don't climb over the wall, go through the main gate!"
Qin Erhu was skeptical about her words, but since he had witnessed the power of Prince Yu's Mansion when he came here, he naturally did not dare to act rashly.
Before leaving, he turned to look at Leng Yu and said to him in a cold voice:
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your affairs."
After he finished speaking, he and Xiaohu quickly walked towards the back door of Prince Yu's Mansion.
Leng Yu said to Xiao Lingzi beside him:
"Follow him."
After receiving the order, Xiao Lingzi turned around and disappeared into the night.
Luo Lan looked at him in confusion, "Does my husband want Xiao Lingzi to follow them?"
Leng Yu frowned and shook his head, "I just want Xiao Lingzi to protect them."
"Why?"
Hearing him say this, Luo Lan looked at him with surprise.
The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and an unfathomable look flashed in his dark pupils.
"They failed in their assassination attempt. Do you think the people who hired them would let them live?"
"Do you know who hired them?"
"Ha!" Leng Yu sneered, "You know it very well."
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes, looked at the peach tree with only branches and leaves left, and murmured softly:
"Spring, the season of blooming flowers, is coming soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he held her in his arms and looked at the starry sky and the bright moon...
…
The next morning, Luo Lan learned from Xiao Lingzi that the Qin brothers were assassinated by a group of men in black not long after they left Prince Yu's Mansion. Fortunately, Xiao Lingzi rescued them in time and they escaped the disaster, but Qin Xiaohu was still injured.
At this point, Xiao Lingzi sighed, "Qin Xiaohu is seriously injured. I'm afraid his life is in danger!"
Hearing this, Luo Lan hurriedly asked, "Where are they now?"
Xiao Lingzi shook his head, "I don't know. After I rescued them, they left and I didn't follow them."
As a qualified doctor, she was really anxious when she heard that someone had died of serious injuries.
But no one knows where they are now. The capital is so big, maybe they will find a doctor for treatment.
This is all she could think of, hoping that little tiger would take care of himself!
In recent days, due to the cold weather, more and more people have come to Huichuntang for medical treatment. This morning, Luo Lan has already seen more than 20 patients. Most of them have typhoid and influenza, and each of them took some cold capsules back.
At noon, Nanny Yu came. She had a cold expression on her face and was full of disdain when facing Luo Lan.
"How come Nanny Yu has time to come to Prince Yu's Mansion?"
Luo Lan faced her face, which was as long as Concubine Chang's, and felt a little more disgusted.
Nanny Yu snorted lightly and said arrogantly:
"Tomorrow is Imperial Concubine Chang's birthday. Your Majesty thought that Princess Yu had just married and must not know the date, so she sent this old servant to inform you."
Hearing this, Luo Lan felt even more disgusted. Couldn't Concubine Chang's birthday have been announced a few days earlier? She only got the announcement today, so how could she have had time to prepare a gift?
Although she was dissatisfied, she still bowed and saluted, and replied softly:
"Tomorrow, Luo Lan will definitely go to the palace to celebrate the Queen's birthday."
"The message has been delivered. I will take my leave."
After saying this, Nanny Yu got up and left without staying for a moment.
