After instructing the two maids and putting on their cloaks, Liu Mengyan held a small light yellow glass lamp and went to Rongde Hall.

At this time, the old lady in Rongde Hall was not asleep, lying on the bed, her cloudy eyes fixed on the soft pillow that the old lady had slept on.

After a while, the next person reported that the four girls were coming.

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then sat up slowly, cleared her throat and said to the little maid who was keeping vigil, "Take the four girls to the back room." ”

The little maid who kept vigil answered yes, and in a few moments led the people into the back room.

"Grandmother." Through the mosquito net, Liu Mengyan made a gesture of greeting.

"How did you come to me at this hour?"

"Back to my grandmother, my granddaughter suspects that the old lady was murdered." Liu Mengyan said frankly.

When the old lady heard this, she was shocked, stretched out her hand and directly pulled open the mosquito net, stared at Liu Mengyan with a pair of eyes and said, "Glass girl, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Grandmother, granddaughter made an unannounced visit in the middle of the night, and it was already determined that the old lady was going west, so you don't have to hide it anymore." said that Liu Mengyan was intentionally paused, "It's just that something is wrong, and grandmother can ask the doctor to carefully examine the old lady's body." ”

At this point, the old lady no longer hid it, shook her head and said: "Today is the big day of the jade girl, if something like this happens, plus you and the girl Mei will be out of the cabinet immediately, you can't let the old lady delay your wedding." ”

Liu Mengyan sighed in her heart for a while, she knew that the old lady had worked hard for the Liu family all her life. It's a pity that the Liu family has been hopelessly decayed.

"Grandmother, if the old lady's death was caused by someone at all, then if you want to hide it, you can't hide it."

The old lady was speechless for a while, and then as if she thought of something, her face was full of gloom.

Liu Mengyan took the opportunity to say: "Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to preemptively find a trustworthy doctor to show the old lady whether it is artificial." ”

"But the doctors outside can't keep the secret after all." The old lady hesitated.

"Grandmother, Mrs. Xu of the Six Princes' Mansion is credible."

"That's it, I'll leave this matter to you, don't remember to make a noise."

"Granddaughter understands."

The next day, Liu Ruli had just finished breakfast when she saw Yunmo coming in from outside, "Girl, Doctor Xu is here." ”

"Go back to the old lady."

Liu Mengyan put down her chopsticks as she spoke, waited for Bitong to put on her cloak, and hurriedly walked towards the gate of Liufu.

Doctor Xu was already waiting in the ear room at the door, although Liu Mengyan knew that he was ordered by Tuoba Zeyan, she was still grateful: "It happened suddenly, and there will be Dr. Lao Xu again." ”

Doctor Xu waved his hand, and put on a look of a worldly master who had no desires and no desires, "It's okay, I'm used to the call of the county lord." ”

Liu Mengyan couldn't help but show a smile, "After bothering Dr. Xu repeatedly, Mengyan should thank you." If Dr. Xu needs anything, just tell Mengyan that Mengyan is willing to do her best. ”

Doctor Xu sighed and said with a mouth full of grievances: "The sixth prince said that he must not accept any kindness from the county lord. ”

Liu Mengyan was stunned when she heard this, and she was about to open her mouth, and her face, which was still cloudy just now, suddenly smiled slyly: "The county lord doesn't have to worry about it, anyway, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince promised that no matter what the county lord wants to give, he will give it twice as much afterwards." His Royal Highness's meaning to the county lord is really a lesson from the sky, as evidenced by the sun and the moon! ”

"Dr. Xu is erudite and knowledgeable, he must know what the word prudent words mean, please follow Mengyan's side!"

Liu Mengyan glanced at the other party as she spoke, didn't bother to smile with him again, and took someone directly to the old lady's study.

At this time, outside the old lady's study, Uncle Liu and the Wu family, the Tuoba family and the Zhu family were already waiting outside.

At the same time that Liu Mengyan and Dr. Xu arrived, the old lady of the long room also happened to come.

"Grandmother."

Liu Mengyan took a few steps forward to help the old lady and accompanied everyone to wait outside the study.

After a while, Dr. Xu finished examining the old lady's body and walked out of the study.

Seeing this, everyone stepped forward one after another, waiting for what Dr. Xu said.

The old lady in the long room gave the grandmother who was waiting with her a look, and the old lady nodded in understanding.

"The idlers and others will go out with me, and be sent at will."

After a while, the maids serving the left and right left and right withdrew ten feet away from the study.

Liu Ruli made sure that there was no one around, and stepped forward to ask: "Doctor Xu, the Liu family has retreated left and right, please tell me the truth, why did the old lady go west?" ”

Before Dr. Xu came, he had been instructed by the six princes to obey Liu Mengyan's wishes after entering the Liu Mansion, so he did not hide it.

"Everything is as the county lord expected, the old lady's death is not in accordance with the mandate of heaven, but poisoning. To be precise, he inhaled a poisonous gas, which is odorless and formless, and if he inhales a certain amount, he will die, as if he died naturally. ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone's faces were shocked.

Uncle Liu was even more angry and clenched his fists, "Who the hell is it, why did you want to kill my father!" ”

Liu Ruli stood aside and was also puzzled, who would it be to ask for the old lady's life so much?

"Boss, I'll talk about it later."

The old lady swept her eyes at Uncle Liu without anger, and when she saw that her eldest son was honest, she turned to Dr. Xu and said, "Today's grace, my Liu family is unforgettable, please ask Dr. Xu to promise to keep his mouth shut." ”

"It's nature."

The old lady was so satisfied that she looked at Liu Mengyan, "Li girl, you send Dr. Xu out of the house for your grandmother." ”

Liu Mengyan wanted to stay and listen to what they discussed, but it was really not appropriate for outsiders to be present in the next matter, so she responded respectfully and led people out.

Sending Dr. Xu out of the gate of Liufu, Liu Mengyan just returned to Rongde Hall, and she was keenly aware that the atmosphere was not right. Sure enough, after she stepped in and sat down, the old lady, Uncle Liu, and Wu aimed the contradiction at her.

The Wu family relied on the fact that she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the long house, and she was even more unscrupulous, and the exit was to ask: "Sister Li, why do you know that the old lady was killed by someone?" ”

Without waiting for Liu Mengyan to open her mouth to refute, Zhu saw that her daughter was being scolded for her filial piety, and immediately turned cold, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?" The old lady went west suddenly, Yan'er felt sad in her heart, she was afraid that someone would make a hindrance from it, is this also wrong? ”

Seeing that the Zhu family couldn't help but say that she was defending herself, Liu Mengyan's heart warmed.

"The third brother and sister are right." The Tuoba clan has always been unwilling to stir up trouble with the Wu clan and bully others with the eldest sister-in-law, not to mention that this matter is related to her sister-in-law's exit from the cabinet.

Thinking about it again, fortunately, Sister Li proved that the old lady died unexpectedly, so as not to affect the reputation of her sister Yu, so she was more interested in protecting Sister Li in front of everyone.

"Sister Li can find that the old lady died unusually, this is because she is smart and clever! Sister-in-law's words, how did it seem to have become a sin. ”

The old lady was dissatisfied when she saw that the second and third rooms were dissatisfied, and then looked at Wu's stupid appearance with a red face and nothing to say, and suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and said: "Okay, your sister-in-law can't speak, this is not to blame the glass girl, but now that the old lady has died, what will happen next." ”

As she spoke, the old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she had unintentionally glanced at Liu Mengyan. It looks like she is explaining to Liu Mengyan, but in fact, it means asking her to come up with an idea.

Liu Mengyan's face did not change, and she said calmly: "Naturally, it is an official." The old lady of the Marquis of Changsheng Mansion was killed, how can such a major event be kept secret? ”

The old lady's expression sank, and her cloudy eyes stared at Liu Mengyan fixedly: "In this way, the relationship between you and Mei Yatou will be delayed." Glass girl, have you really thought about it? ”

"Yes, grandmother."

After expressing her attitude, Liu Mengyan continued in an orderly manner: "Even if we don't report to the official in the house, the person who killed the old lady will let this matter out." The enemy has a heart to do it, and this matter cannot be concealed at all. Grandmother, if you can't make up your mind, you might as well think about the daughter of the Fu family again. At the beginning, Miss Fu was snatched away in her yard and finally committed suicide. ”

The old lady looked at Liu Mengyan in surprise, and found that she couldn't see through this granddaughter more and more.

Liu Mengyan stood quietly in place and let the old lady look at her, her thoughts inadvertently drifting back to her previous life.

It is true that the old lady was good to herself at the beginning, but at that time, she had no mother and younger brother, and Liu Sanye was only focused on Gu's mother and daughter. She remembered that once the old lady had sent someone to call her to the study, and told her with a loving face not to be afraid, the old man is your own grandfather, and if there is anything to do, please come to him for refuge.

For this reason, even Gu didn't dare to kill her.

Liu Mengyan couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of this.

Reliving her life, she never thought that the first victim to be involved in the battle of the Heavenly Family would be her own grandfather.

Seeing that the old lady was still hesitant, a determination flashed in Liu Ruli's eyes, and she said loudly: "Grandmother, if this matter is not investigated, the Liu family will inevitably lose the opportunity, and they can only be led by the nose in the future." The other party can enter and leave his grandfather's study, and kill his grandfather quietly, like no one, how similar this is to the incident of the Fu family at the beginning. ”

Liu Mengyan's last sentence resounded like a muffled thunder in Rongde Hall.

For a moment, the old lady didn't know how to do more. She was born noble, her mother's family is also a Houmen, she has lived in this capital all her life, and she has seen some people rise to the top, and she has also seen some people die.

The old lady thought of the tragedy of the Fu family, and then thought of the current situation in Liufu, and was shocked.

"Grandmother!"

Old Mrs. Liu stretched out her hand to stop Liu Mengyan and continued: "Sister Li, you are just a girl who is not deeply involved in the world after all, this matter is very important, wait for your second uncle and father to come back and make a decision." After all, they are officials in the court. ”

Hearing that the old lady was going to leave the matter to Liu Erye and Liu Sanye, Liu Mengyan was naturally unwilling. In order not to delay the exit of the women in the house, they are bound to finally suppress the old lady's death again.

And this is the last thing Liu Mengyan wants to see.

"Grandmother, granddaughter has something to report."

"You might as well say anything bluntly, all of you here are family members."

Liu Mengyan knelt down against everyone's gaze and said, "The granddaughter can only talk to you about this matter alone, and please ask the eldest uncle, eldest aunt, second aunt, and mother to avoid it for the time being." ”

When the Wu family saw Liu Mengyan like this, they were a little unhappy, thinking that this was a living life and not taking their long house in their eyes, "Sister Li'er, you haven't married the Sixth Prince yet, do you think you are the Sixth Prince's Princess?" ”
