Chapter 34: How Did My Mother Die?
Luo Yao turned her head to look at her when she heard the sound, and a familiar figure was slowly walking towards her.
She didn't turn her mind for a while, and looked at the other party suspiciously, "Who are you?" ”
"You forgot about the old man so quickly?" The other party smiled kindly.
"It's you!" She suddenly approached Chu Zhiliang, "I didn't expect you to live here, we are really fateful." ”
"I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." Chu Zhiliang smiled and made a gesture to her, "Let's go inside and sit down and talk!" ”
"Please."
Chu Zhiliang was carried into the front hall by the guards, and Luo Yao followed them back to the front hall.
Chu Zhiliang sat down and looked at her with a smile, "Why don't you sit?" ”
"I won't sit down, in fact, we are here this time ......"
"I sent someone to tell you a few days before I left the king, and I want to open the lock, right?" Chu Zhiliang interrupted her.
She nodded, then looked at Chu Zhiliang with round eyes, and asked, "Shouldn't you be the lock-picking master in the mouth of the prince?" ”
Chu Zhiliang waved his hand, "I'm just a locksmith, not a master." ”
"It's really you! That's great. ”
Luo Yao excitedly stepped forward with the small wooden box and handed the wooden box to Chu Zhiliang, "Can you help me see this lock?" ”
"Don't worry, I'll take a look first."
Chu Zhiliang took the wooden box, looked carefully at the lock on it, and suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong?" Luo Yao hurriedly asked.
"I've been open a lock for most of my life, and it's the first time I've seen a lock like this, you see that the cylinder is very deep, and there are many grooves of different shapes in it, which is difficult to open without a key."
Luo Yao looked disappointed, "You can't help it?" ”
"It's hard to say." Chu Zhiliang told the truth.
Luo Yao sighed helplessly.
Maybe this box contains evidence of Lan Qin's murder or something, and opening the box can also help Lan Qin take revenge.
Now not only did she not ask for the family wealth left to her by Lan Qin, but she couldn't even open this box.
Sad!
Chu Zhiliang raised his eyes and looked at her, "Where did this box come from?" If you can get the key, maybe you can open it. ”
"This is what my mother left behind, my mother has passed away, and I don't know where to find the key."
"Where's your father? Doesn't he know either? Chu Zhiliang asked again.
Luo Yao was instantly woken up, the last time she was urged to leave by Xiao Yan in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she didn't even bother to take the box to Luo Zhenming to ask.
Luo Zhenming and Lan Qin are husband and wife, maybe he knows something.
"Thank you! I'll go back and ask my dad. ”
Chu Zhiliang got up and walked towards her, "I really don't have a key, just take the box back, and I'll think of a way for you." ”
"Thank you."
Luo Yao thanked Chu Zhiliang repeatedly, and left the Chu Mansion with the wooden box.
Not long after she left, Chu Lin returned.
As soon as Chu Lin entered the door, he saw Chu Zhiliang walking in the shade of the courtyard with a smile on his face, and he walked over with a surprised face.
"The sun can't come out of the west today! The old man actually went out for a walk? ”
Chu Zhiliang turned to look at him, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”
"There's nothing important about the shop, I'll come back early to accompany you, why are you so happy today?"
"As far as I told you last time, I asked Luo Yao's girl to come to our house."
"Luo Yao is here?"
Chu Lin looked around and hurriedly asked, "What about her?" ”
"Just left."
Unable to talk to Chu Zhiliang, Chu Lin immediately chased him out of the house, and he glanced at the streets on both sides of the door, and there was no trace of Luo Yao.
She's gone!
He hadn't seen her yet, why did she leave?
……
Luo Yao walked forward through the bustling street with the wooden box in her arms, and without a trace of embarrassment, chattered endlessly in her ear.
"Let's go back! If the prince knows, he should blame his subordinates. ”
Luo Yao was unmoved, ignored Traceless's words, and continued to walk forward.
She has only one purpose: she must go to the Prime Minister's Mansion today!
Wuxian persuaded her for a long time, but she had no choice but to stop her, "Please don't embarrass your subordinates!" ”
She stopped dissatisfied, and raised her eyes coldly, "Get out of the way!" ”
"The prince said ......"
She didn't have the anger to interrupt without a trace, "He also said that he must help me pick the lock, did you open it?" ”
"......" is a silent stopper.
Giving him a blank look, Luo Yao passed directly past him and walked straight towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Without a trace, he couldn't persuade him to do both soft and hard, so he could only follow her to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When she came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Luo Yao went directly to Luo Zhenming's study with the wooden box and pushed the door in.
Luo Zhenming, who was reading a book, put down the book unhappily and reprimanded Luo Yao who was standing in front of him unhappily, "Why are you back?" ”
Luo Yao didn't have time to say a word of nonsense, and put the wooden box on the desk in front of him.
"Is the key to this wooden box with you?"
Seeing that she regarded her words as deaf ears, and still spoke to herself in such a tone, Luo Zhenming patted the case and got up, "This is your attitude towards your elders?" ”
She didn't have time to quarrel with Luo Zhenming, and the corners of her mouth barely squeezed out a smile, "Dad, is the key with you?" ”
"What is this, how do I have the key?"
"You haven't seen this thing?" She asked rhetorically.
Luo Zhenming frowned, looked at the old wooden box impatiently, and said with a look of disgust: "How could I have seen such an obscure old thing." ”
"Bad old things."
Luo Yao laughed at herself and looked down at the wooden box, "This is what my mother left behind." ”
"What? It's ......"
She interrupted Luo Zhenming's words in a cold voice, "How did my mother die?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"My mother was tortured by illness for a year before she passed away, is there really no cat in it?" When it comes to getting emotional, she can't help but raise her voice.
"Nonsense! Do you suspect that I killed your mother? Luo Zhenming's eyes widened angrily, and he was so angry that he slapped the table again.
"I'll figure it out."
As the words fell, she picked up the wooden box and turned to leave.
Luo Zhenming chased out from behind the desk and shouted at her, "You stop me!" ”
Luo Yao had no intention of stopping at all.
"You—you want to me off!"
As soon as Luo Yao returned to the front yard, she walked towards her without a trace.
"Princess, can we go back?"
"I can't."
"What else are you going to do?" Leave no trace asked.
She looked at Wuxian with a serious face, "Go back and tell the prince that I will stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a few days." ”
"This ......"
Letting her go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion has already violated the prince's order, where does he dare to let her stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"What? I can't go back to my parents' house for a few days? I am married to the palace, not sold to the palace! ”
Wuxian frowned in embarrassment, and persuaded in a good voice: "Your subordinates really can't call the shots, so it's better for you to go back with your subordinates, and you can personally discuss the matter of living with the prince." ”
"I'm not going back."
She's not stupid, she finally came out, is there still a chance to come out when she goes back?
Wuxian was so anxious that he sweated, and continued to persuade: "You are like this, your subordinates really can't explain to the prince." ”
Luo Yao stood unmoved, and persuaded her for a long time without a trace, but she just didn't let go.
At this moment, Luo Jiao walked to the front yard with a few familiar little sisters, looked at Luo Yao from where several people were standing, and happened to see Luo Yao talking ambiguously with a man.
The little sister beside her also saw Luo Yao and hurriedly asked her, "Who is that?" How can you be so intimate with a man? ”
"The two of them are about to hug each other in broad daylight, it's just out of place!"
The corners of Luo Jiao's mouth hooked up a touch of slyness, "Let's go over and take a look." ”
Several people walked towards Luo Yao, and after seeing Luo Yao, Luo Jiao deliberately pretended to be surprised, "Sister, why are you?" ”
"Sister? You say she is the sister who married the king? ”
"I am married to the king, and I am still with a man here, and I don't abide by women's morals, which is a shame on our women!"
"That's it!"
