Empress Dowager Xiaojing had a secret order for him to rush to Xu Yang and secretly protect the prince.
Not long after Liu Fu left, a man in gray robe with a vicissitudes of life appeared outside the gate of Duke Zhenguo's mansion.
This man is tall and thin, and his face is full of vicissitudes of life.
He said a few words to the porter, who looked at him in surprise and then quickly entered the Duke Zhen's mansion.
Not long after, the concierge came out and invited the man in.
Fushou Tang.
There was nothing going on at the drug store today, so Ling Lihua didn't go and stayed in the house with the old lady.
At this time, he saw the man in gray robe coming in from outside and looked at the old lady.
"Please sit down." Aunt Lan invited the man into the room and offered him a cup of tea.
The man in gray robe did not sit down, but looked at the old lady eagerly, "Old madam, I want to see Zheng Yanran, can you let her meet me?" After saying that, he was afraid that she would refuse, so he quickly said, "You can rest assured that I will only ask her a few questions. After I finish asking her, I will leave without disturbing her."
Ling Lihua picked up the hairpin in her hand, frowned and asked, "I gave this hairpin to her back then, why is it in your hand?"
The man said sadly: "To be honest, when I met her fifteen years ago, she was alone and was robbed by bandits. I saved her. At that time, she had nothing to live with, so she took this hosta. She gave it to me as a way to repay my kindness. Seeing how pitiful she was, I gave her a ride, and then... "
What happened next, he did not say.
Ling Lihua took a look at him and saw that his face was upright, but his eyebrows were filled with a sense of vicissitudes of life. He must have been a miserable person.
She glanced at the old lady, thought about it, and said, "More than ten years ago? Then why do you think of looking for her now? I would like to ask, how do you know she is here?"
The man looked hesitant.
The old lady sighed and said: "If you have anything to hide, you can tell us. If we can help you, we will definitely help you. But the Zheng you mentioned passed away many days ago."
"Dead?" The man's eyes widened in disbelief, and his skinny body fell back two steps.
"Yes, she is dead." Ling Lihua stared at him, and then said, "She was killed by a man in black. We don't know who that man was, so why did we kill her again? "
When the man heard this, a look of shock flashed in his eyes, and he murmured to himself: "She's dead, she's dead, I'm still a step too late..."
Ling Lihua and the old lady looked at each other quickly, then stood up and took a few steps towards him, "From your tone, it seems that you know who killed her?"
The man shook his head and remained silent.
Seeing his reaction, Ling Lihua became even more sure that he knew something. She frowned and said, "If you don't tell us, we won't be able to help you, and Zheng Yanran's daughter will probably not escape the fate of being killed by the man in black." .”
When the man heard this, his scattered pupils gathered together and he became energetic, "What did you say, her daughter?"
Seeing his reaction, Ling Lihua's heart moved slightly and she said, "Yes, Zheng Yanran gave birth to a daughter. She is already fifteen years old this year. She was born in the first month of the year." After saying that, she observed carefully His expression changed.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, something strange appeared on the man's face. After he realized what he was saying, he quickly lowered his head.
The old lady also stood up and looked at him in surprise.
Ling Lihua looked at his face and suddenly said: "Lu Yunshuang, she is your and Zheng Yanran's daughter." Her tone was extremely firm.
