Chapter 133: 大小姐，你终于来了

Da Xiao Jie (Eldest young miss), you’re finally here.

Uncle Wang turned around and saw a woman wearing a light blue silk dress, standing not far away and looking at him with a light smile.

There was a bang and clank sound. 

The barrel in Uncle Wang’s hand fell to the floor and he knelt down with a “thud”.

“The eldest young miss, you finally came….”

Uncle Wang’s voice choked with sobs.

There were hidden tears flashing in his eyes.

These words were filled with too many emotions.

There was excitement, anticipation, joy, and even a little bit of grievance.

Lu Yunluo went forward and helped Uncle Wang up.

Uncle Wang grabbed Lu Yunluo’s hand very easily, “Miss, this old slave has something important that I want to say to you.”

As he said that, he surveyed the surroundings worriedly, “Go, let’s go inside and talk.”

The inside of the stables was dirty and smelly, normally no one would even come here.

“Big young Miss, this old slave begs you, quickly save the old master.”

Once inside the stables, Uncle Wang immediately knelt down again.

He didn’t trust any of the people in the mansion nowadays, he only trusted Lu Yunluo who was in front of him.

“Uncle Wang, I came today precisely for the matter of my (maternal) grandfather, if you know any news, feel free to speak out.” Lu Yunluo looked at Uncle Wang who was kneeling on the ground, her heart was slightly sour (sad).

Although this Uncle Wang is not young in age anymore, when he was still the former steward, he looked very spirited. Now, doing work in the stables, he looked as if he had aged a lot.

“Young miss, the Old Master is not seriously ill, but someone wants to harm him and poison him!” Uncle Wang became a little emotional when he said this.

Originally, on the second day of Lu Yunluo’s marriage, exactly the same day she was sent to the Cold Palace, the Duke of State fell ill and suddenly he couldn’t get up at all anymore. 

At first, Uncle Wang thought that the Duke of State was overly broken-hearted because the Prime Minister was beheaded and the eldest young lady was sent to the Cold Palace so he became sick like that.

Later, they invited the capital’s best doctor to check him up. All said that the State Duke is too sad, originally the body has some old disease, at the moment, the sickness just came out.

It is said that the disease is like a mountain turning upside down, he is still sick until now.

At first, although the Duke of State is bedridden, sometimes he is still in good spirits; he can eat and drink water.

One month ago, the second and third masters used the reason that there was no one around to take care of the Duke of State, therefore both families brought their women to live in the Duke of State’s residence.

Ten days ago, he poured the leftover porridge food of the Duke of State into the kitchen bucket, which was knocked over by a wild dog that broke in from outside, and the dog only ate a few bites and died on the spot.

Only then did Uncle Wang realize that the food for the old master had been poisoned. 

The next day, Uncle Wang began to guard against the food that was sent from the kitchen, but that night he was reported by the young male servant, saying that he took advantage of the State Duke’s serious illness, took the opportunity to take the State Duke’s silver and wanted to escape, therefore he was sent by the third master to this stable. 

Moreover, from that day onwards, the Duke of State has become seriously ill, he was even unable to eat, getting weaker and weaker, and seems likely to pass away at any time. 

If it wasn’t for Prince Chen’s visit a few days ago, the Duke of State would probably have already gone.

“Eldest young miss, the Duke of State doesn’t even have a single person around him who can be of use nowadays, other than you, Eldest young miss, there is no one else! Please save the Duke of State, Eldest young miss!” Uncle Wang knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily toward Lu Yunluo.

The Duke of Ding’s entire life was really too bitter!

After a lifetime of military service, he lost his wife at an early age and his daughter at his middle age and even his only elligimite son, who was disabled five years ago, he was never heard from again. 

Now, he was harmed by an evil-doer, bedridden and couldn’t wake up. Beside him, there weren’t even any people who waited upon and showed any filial piety.
