In the Lu Family, Lu Tingzhi came out of the study. His handsome face seemed to be covered in a layer of grey. When he had heard from Duanmu Ya that Lu Lingzhi was related to the Thousand Hand Spider, he hadn't dared to believe it. Now that he heard it from Third Uncle, he had no choice but to believe it.
Lu Lingzhi was still alive, but he didn't know what he looked like.
He had already told Third Uncle, but they didn't know what kind of identity and appearance Lu Lingzhi was living in this world. It was easier said than done to find him.
Duanmu Ya! Now, he could only find Duanmu Ya.
Lu Tingzhi decided to chase after Duanmu Ya.
"Didn't you say that you would move back to the mansion soon? Why aren't you moving? I don't want to live here anymore. This is an unlucky place. Let's leave. "Just as he was about to go back and pack a few things, Liu-shi appeared in front of Lu Tingzhi.
"Mother, we'll move in a few days." Lu Tingzhi said faintly, ignoring the swelling on Liu-shi's face.
He knew where the swelling on her face came from. As her son, all he could do was lock her up so she wouldn't go out and cause trouble. He couldn't do anything about the Empress' punishment.
"I want to move immediately!" Liu-shi shouted, "If I stay here, will I be beaten to death?"
"As long as you know your place and don't speak nonsense, no one will beat you." Lu Tingzhi said coldly, "If you don't repent, it won't be a slap next time."
Liu-shi hurriedly covered her cheeks. She remembered that the servant girl who came to beat her said that if she cursed again, she would pull out her tongue next time. "You unfilial son. As expected, only Yanzhi and Shuang 'er are my support. How could they allow others to bully me like this?"
Hearing Liu-shi's cries, Lu Tingzhi numbly went in to pack two sets of clothes. "I have matters to attend to and will leave for a few days. Stay in the room and don't go out. If Niangniang finds out that you cursed Third Aunt and the others again, no matter who begged for mercy, it would be useless."
"Where are you going? Is there news of Shuang 'er and Yanzhi?" Liu-shi asked in surprise, "Are you going to go find them?"
Lu Tingzhi looked indifferently at her and indicated for the servant girl to pull her away. He quickly left the place.
But, where would Duanmu Ya go?
Did he really leave the capital? Lu Tingzhi felt that with Duanmu Ya's personality, he would probably leave. That carefree person in the Medicine King Valley had never suffered any grievances. After what he said yesterday, he would definitely leave in a fit of pique.
Although he said that, Lu Tingzhi still went to the Lu Family's mansion to take a look. Previously, Duanmu Ya had planned to research the formula for the Fishy Poison Pill in the mansion.
Previously, in order to prevent others from discovering that Duanmu Ya was researching the Fishy Poison Pill, he had found a secret room in the Lu Family's original mansion. It was unknown if it was still there.
Lu Tingzhi searched the entire mansion, but he couldn't find Duanmu Ya.
Could it be that he had really left the capital?
Lu Tingzhi left the mansion and rushed out of the city. There was an official road outside the city. If Duanmu Ya took the official road, he should be able to catch up.
"Second Young Master went to look for Duanmu Ya." In a teahouse at the city gate, Luo Cheng watched Lu Tingzhi's figure leave the city and whispered to Lu Lingzhi.
"After nightfall, send Duanmu Ya out of the city." A dead person naturally couldn't be left in the city. It was too easy to be discovered.
Luo Cheng said, "Duanmu Ya and Second Young Master are good friends. Could he have told Second Young Master about you?"
Lu Lingzhi looked at his younger brother's back. If Lu Tingzhi already knew who he was, he would have come to find him long ago. It was impossible for him to leave the city.
"No." Lu Lingzhi said indifferently.
"That Mo Rongzhan hasn't returned yet. I wonder if he was killed by that person." Luo Cheng's tone was full of anticipation. If that person could kill Mo Rongzhan, it would save them a lot of trouble.
Lu Lingzhi said indifferently, "He won't kill Mo Rongzhan. I will kill him myself."
"Then … I'm afraid that Lu Yaoyao will not leave the palace again. What should we do if Mo Ronghui wants to see her?" Luo Cheng asked.
"Have someone keep an eye on the clinic and bring Hong Ling to see me." Hong Ling was Ye Zhen's former maid. Only she knew the true identity of the current Empress.
Luo Cheng agreed in a low voice.
…
…
In the palace, Yan Xiaoliu had calmed down and was telling Ye Zhen about the massacre of Yan Jia Village.
I waited in the cave for half a day, but no one came looking for me. So I came back by myself, only to see … my father killing people like a madman. My mother was killed by him, and everyone else was killed by him … It was two of my father's guards who brought me out of the Yan Clan Village. Not long after we left, the Yan Clan Village was engulfed by fire. Halfway through our escape, one of the guards killed people in a delirious state, just like my father. The other guard died in order to cover my escape. After that, I don't know what happened. It's as if I've forgotten everything. " Yan Xiaoliu closed his eyes and recalled the scene he had seen in Yan Jia Village. His heart was filled with the pain of hatred.
How could his father … Although his father usually looked serious, he had always been good to his mother and gentle and generous to the people in the village. How could he have killed so many people?
Ye Zhen said, "According to what you said, your father should have been controlled by the poisonous pill at that time."
"Poisonous pill?" Yan Xiaoliu had never heard of this thing and looked at Ye Zhen with some doubts.
"It is a kind of addictive poison, and it can increase a person's power, but it will make them delirious and finally lose their humanity. Today you saw Marquis Jingning, he was harmed by the Fishy Poison Pill." Ye Zhen knew that Yan Xiaoliu was young and mature, so she did not intend to hide it from him. "Do you remember anything unusual about your father before his drug addiction broke out?"
Yan Xiaoliu shook his head gently. "It was still the same as usual. I didn't see anything different. No, no, I remember that there was a person who always came to my father at that time. I don't know that person."
Ye Zhen's eyes were cold. "Who was it? Do you remember what he looked like? "
"I …" Yan Xiaoliu thought about it carefully. At that time, he was still a naughty child. Because of his talent, everyone in the Yan Family Village doted on him. He only thought about how to be lazy all day long. Why would he care about who was looking for his father?
"I can't tell what he looked like. If I see him, I will definitely be able to recognize him." Yan Xiaoliu said.
Ye Zhen was a little disappointed, but she also understood. Yan Xiaoliu had suffered a great change. From a worry-free child to a taciturn person today, it was very cruel to want him to recall the past.
"Have a good rest first. If you remember anything in the future, tell Ben Gong." Ye Zhen said softly.
