Chapter 153; 都处理干净了吗

”Have they all been completely dealt with?’

Lu Yunluo looked at these two dishes and one soup somewhat speechless, but also knew that Yin Shuang should have also tried her best, and also knew to use the method she taught her to use white sugar to stir-fry into the melted brown sugar or caramel color to make two braised dishes. She was starving right now and was not so picky, so she ate some to fill up her stomach.

After eating it, Lu Yunluo handed things over, “Sister Zhou, Grandfather may wake up tonight, you have instructed the kitchen to prepare some light porridge on hand at any time tonight.”

“Yin Shuang, tidy up a room in this courtyard. I’ll rest here tonight.”

“Besides that, in this mansion, no one is allowed to enter except Uncle Wang.”

Before she found out who the murderer was, she had to be careful.

Duke Ding’s Residence, Shang Pin Courtyard, 

Here lived the second uncle’s first eldest grandson, Su Pinzhe, who could be considered as Lu Yunluo’s male cousin.

Second great uncle, Su Changhai was walking around anxiously in this courtyard of his, “Tell me, why didn’t Lu Yunluo let us see him?”

He let Su Pinzhe’s mother, who is also his eldest daughter-in-law Wang, make a trip to that girl’s courtyard today, yet she was stopped at the front door on the spot, not even able to see her face.

If it is not because that girl is now having the identity as the Emperor’s concubine, the elders door to door if it is refused to see, has long been called as unfilial or disobedience by the elders. 

How could she be allowed to be as rampant as she is now? 

“Pin Zhe, why are you not anxious at all? I have heard that Su Hongfei went out early in the morning to find medicine for your great uncle. If you don’t do something, by then, the title of this State Duke can’t be yours.”

Su Pinzhe smiled faintly, “Grandfather don’t be anxious, whether Su Hongfei went out to seek medicine for his great uncle or went to sport with flowers and willows (visit the brothel), we will know sooner or later.”

When Su Changhai heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, “What do you mean is…”

Su Pinzhe smiled as he nodded.

The person he had arranged would not make a mistake.

“Good! Truly worthy of being my Su Changhai’s first eldest grandson. Since this is the case, I can also sleep at ease tonight.”  Su Changhai patted Su Pinzhe’s shoulder and left with a smile.

That Niang Niang has said that the eldest brother will only inherit it to a person of good character, if the third brother’s family’s Su Hongfei’s brat is caught looking for flowers (frequently visit brothel), I’m afraid that he will never have the face to fight for this title again, right?

He is the first eldest grandson, things have always been watertight (not even one drop of water can be leaked out). 

Unfortunately, the second branch of their extended family has not been able to give birth to useful talents. His first eldest grandson, last year at the age of seventeen years old was able to win top marks in the imperial examinations and got Tànhuā title (title conferred on the one who won third place in the highest imperial examination in the Ming and Qing dynasties). 

He initially wanted to rely on his elder brother in the career path for more help, who knows, half a year ago, his elder brother fell ill.

Moreover, his first grandson is still only a minor official of the sixth grade.

This time, if their lineage was able to obtain their elder brother’s title, they would definitely be able to bring honor to their ancestors.

Not long after Su Changhai left, one of his subordinates came over to report.

“Did she go out today?” Somehow, he always felt that this female cousin of his seemed to have discovered something.

“Reply to Gongzi, Niang Niang did not go out of the mansion the whole day today. In the morning, Prince Chen came, but the two of them did not meet. In the afternoon, Niang Niang went out of her own courtyard and went directly to Dingguo Ye’s (her grandfather) courtyard, and has not come out until now.”

Didn’t leave the residence?

Su Pinzhe’s eyes flashed with a hint of hidden light, “Those medicines, have they all been disposed of?”

With his great uncle’s physical condition, as long as there is no antidote, even if no longer drugged, that blood lotus will at most hang around for another ten days or so when it will come to an end.

Destroying (by burning) the evidence now is the best time.
