Chapter 160: 冷宫地里的庄稼如何了？[How are the crops in the Cold Palace?]

The third great uncle immediately became anxious after he heard that the State Duke does not want to adopt a son from his relatives, but to not succeed, then isn’t this period of time such a waste of time? 

His wife and his daughter are dead and his son is disabled…

This is her grandfather’s biggest taboo in the past few years, his most afraid to hear words.

These people even said these words to his face, is this what a brother would do? They clearly want to eat Grandfather alive, these jackals and wolves (cruel and evil people)!

The rosy face that the Duke of State had cultivated over the past two days faded in an instant and became pale, even his tall figure shook slightly.

One could imagine how destructive these words were for him. 

“Big brother, now that you are old, you should pass on a child early on, and save yourself from further situations in the future.” Second great Uncle clearly didn’t care at all about his grandfather’s mood at the moment, as if with a tone of goodwill and persuasion, he said it. 

Lu Yunluo poured out a heart-protecting pill for Grandfather to take, and only after a long time did Grandfather open his eyes.

The former bright and gleaming gaze seemed to have paled a lot.

His voice was hoarse as he asked, “You guys, which child do you want me to adopt (to be my heir)?”

The people at the bottom heard that the Duke of State had loosened, and were immediately excited.

Thus, the people of the two houses began to argue over and over again which of the children underneath them they wanted to succeed.

Grandfather seemed tired, “Luo’er, let’s go back.”

After returning to the courtyard, Grandfather locked himself in his room alone.

Lu Yunluo sighed, her grandfather’s half of his latter life was indeed too bitter.

She also didn’t know where the hell that cheap uncle of hers had run off to, and didn’t even come back to visit home for so many years.

Her grandfather’s body under her care is getting better and better. Just the annoyance between his eyebrows is more and more heavy, and the matter of inheritance is endlessly argued.

The good thing is, those two families have at least moved out from Dingguo Gongfu, and even in order to please Grandfather, pay all of their respective bills and silver over, both parties are in order to succeed or be included in the quota, secretly making special efforts.

The matter of poisoning could not be investigated or was not progressed well. 

Zhang Da Niang’s husband and child, as if they have disappeared from the face of the earth, without the slightest clue.

These days, people from the palace also made a trip, saying that the emperor urged her to return to the palace as soon as possible after she finished dealing with the matter.

When the eunuch left, he also specially gave her some news from the palace, saying that during her absence, Yao Guiren has been favored by the emperor and is now very much received the Emperor’s favor.

If she doesn’t return to the palace, it will be a different kind of world. 

The eunuch’s words made Lu Yunluo suddenly remember his cold palace plus those few hundred acres of land. Since she also didn’t know during her absence, how were the crops there? 

Thinking of this, she immediately slipped the eunuch a bag of broken silver, “Gong Gong (Eunuch), do you know the condition of the crops in the Cold Palace’s land?”

Just after this question was asked, she clearly saw that eunuch paused slightly.

He didn’t know which of his words just now reminded Niang Niang about the Cold Palace’s crops?

However, he then smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Niang Niang, those crops in your Cold Palace grow exceptionally well, there are experts who check it every day, and the palace maids and eunuchs are never lazy.”

Only then did Lu Yunluo put her heart at ease.

After all, this batch of wheat is carrying the entire nation’s hope, they cannot afford to make any mistakes.

“Thank you, Eunuch Shi, for making this trip.” Lu Yunluo slipped Eunuch Shi another bag of broken silver, already in the mode of sending off the guests.

That Shi Eunuch didn’t seem to want to go yet, and tentatively asked, “Your Highness, are there other questions you forgot to ask?”

For example, about the Emperor and Noble Consort Yao?

“That’s right, right, if you don’t say it, I kind of forget about it.” Lu Yunluo slapped her fearful head, remembering that there was still one important thing that she hadn’t yet explained.
