He still couldn't find Duanmu Ya!
Lu Tingzhi had practically searched the entire Capital City, but he still couldn't find any trace of Duanmu Ya. He knew that Duanmu Ya wouldn't have left the Capital City at this time, but if he hadn't left, where could he have gone?
There was a possibility that kept popping up in Lu Tingzhi's mind, but he didn't dare to think about it.
It couldn't be! No matter what, Duanmu Ya had saved Lu Lingzhi's life. He wouldn't be so cruel to Duanmu Ya.
"Why did you arrange for me to stay in this courtyard? I want to stay in the upper room! "The Yun matriarch walked over angrily and shouted at Lu Tingzhi.
Lu Tingzhi frowned and looked at the Yun matriarch. "Mother, do you dare to stay in the upper room?"
"Why wouldn't I dare to stay in the upper room? It's what I should be staying in." She was the wife of the eldest wife of the Lu family. If not for so many things, she would still be the mistress of the Lu family. This upper room was hers to begin with.
"Mother, the upper room is for grandmother. Aren't you afraid that you will dream of her if you stay here?" Lu Tingzhi asked calmly. As a son, how could he not know if the Yun matriarch had done anything shameful? If grandmother was really in heaven, she would probably be unable to rest in peace.
The Yun matriarch thought of the child she had killed. If the old madam knew, she might really come looking for her at night.
However, she had been looking forward to staying in this upper room for a long time.
"Mother, you should stay in the original courtyard. Leave the upper room empty for now. The mansion has been empty for so long, and there's no one around. It's better to stay a little longer and let the mansion be a little livelier before moving to the upper room." Lu Tingzhi said. He believed that if the old madam was still alive, she would definitely not allow his mother to stay in the upper room.
He was already grateful to be able to stay in the Lu family mansion. How could he let his mother stay in the upper room?
The Yun matriarch glared at the upper room and snorted unwillingly before walking away.
Lu Tingzhi shook his head. He recalled that Duanmu Ya had stayed here for a few days, but he didn't know what he was doing there.
"Uncle Lu, which room did Duanmu Ya stay in a few days ago?" Lu Tingzhi asked the housekeeper.
"Second Young Master, in your original courtyard. Doctor Duanmu asked me to clean up the west wing for him. He has been staying there, but I haven't seen him for a few days." Housekeeper Lu said.
"I'll go take a look." Lu Tingzhi nodded. He had been busy recently and only knew that Duanmu Ya was here researching the formula for the Fishy Poison Pill. However, he did not know which room he was working in, nor did he know how his research was progressing.
When he arrived at the courtyard he used to live in, it really … hadn't changed at all. It seemed like after Third Uncle bought the mansion, he had even put in the effort to restore it to its original state.
Lu Tingzhi pushed open the door and walked into the west wing. A faint smell of medicine assaulted his nostrils.
Duanmu Ya was researching the formula here.
However … Lu Tingzhi did not see any formulas. Apart from a pile of herbs that he did not understand, there were also a few portraits.
He looked at the dusty portrait in shock. This was …
Other than Lu Lingzhi, he couldn't think of anyone else who could make Duanmu Ya painstakingly draw their portrait!
So Duanmu Ya had already recognized him! Did he go to find Lu Lingzhi?
"Who is this person?" Lu Tingzhi swept away the dust on it and took out the other portraits. They all looked different, but it was obvious that they were the same person. Even if they were different, it was only in terms of facial features.
Lu Lingzhi! This person was Lu Lingzhi!
"Prince Yi Residence, Chief Lin?" Lu Tingzhi saw the words written by Duanmu Ya on the last portrait. His expression changed. Could it be that Lu Lingzhi was hiding in Prince Yi Residence?
He had always known that Lu Lingzhi was a shrewd person. A long time ago, Lu Tingzhi couldn't see through everything Lu Lingzhi did. Now that he was hiding in Prince Yi Residence as the Chief Lin, Lu Tingzhi didn't feel that it was surprising.
Lu Lingzhi had always been a scary person.
Lu Tingzhi kept the portrait. He wanted to meet this Chief Lin and find out what Lu Lingzhi was up to!
"Second Young Master, are you going out?" Steward Lu saw Lu Tingzhi striding out and hurriedly chased after him.
"Uncle Lu, if I don't come back before tonight, bring these portraits to Third Uncle," Lu Tingzhi said in a low voice and passed the portrait to Steward Lu.
"Alright." Steward Lu was startled and took it from Lu Tingzhi's hands.
Looking at Lu Tingzhi's back as he hurriedly left, Steward Lu's simple and honest smile gradually disappeared. He turned and walked towards the back door.
Recently, Prince Yi Residence was immersed in joy because of Princess's pregnancy. Not to mention Mo Rongyi who had been by Princess's side for the past two days, even the servants were full of joy. Princess had been married to Prince Yi for many years. Everyone knew how precious this child was. They only hoped that Princess could give birth to the heir.
Lu Tingzhi stood in front of the entrance of Prince Yi Residence and told the manservant in front of the door that he wanted to see Chief Lin. The manservant was probably in a good mood and went to inform him readily.
After waiting for a long time, someone finally came to see him.
"I want to see Chief Lin." Lu Tingzhi looked at the unfamiliar man in front of him. He knew that this person was not the person he was looking for.
"Second Young Master Lu, our Chief Lin is not in the residence. I will bring you to see him," Luo Cheng looked at Lu Tingzhi and said.
If he recognized him as Second Young Master Lu, then he must be Lu Lingzhi's man.
Lu Tingzhi didn't expect to see Lu Lingzhi in Prince Yi Residence.
"Second Young Master Lu, why did you make this trip?" Luo Cheng led Lu Tingzhi towards the direction of the main street. He thought that since Duanmu Ya was dead, no one should have discovered Lu Lingzhi's identity.
Seeing Lu Tingzhi today, it seemed that he was still discovered.
He didn't know if Master would treat him like how he treated Duanmu Ya … After all, this was his younger brother.
"Was Duanmu Ya captured by you?" Lu Tingzhi asked coldly.
Luo Cheng didn't answer him. He just brought Lu Tingzhi to a relatively remote house not far from Prince Yi Residence.
This was a two-sectioned house. It was neither big nor small. However, because it was remote and there was a Prince Yi Residence in front, ordinary people wouldn't be able to find this place.
"Second Young Master Lu, please." Luo Cheng brought Lu Tingzhi to the study and gestured for him to enter.
Lu Tingzhi pushed the door open and entered. He saw an unfamiliar man sitting behind the desk at a glance. Although he said he was unfamiliar, his facial features were still somewhat familiar. He was very similar to the person in the portrait. After careful observation, one could see the similarities between him and Lu Lingzhi.
Such an evil and ruthless person actually hid in Prince Yi's Mansion without being discovered. If he wanted to harm little Prince and Princess, it would be a piece of cake. Lu Lingzhi had lurked in Prince Yi's Mansion for so many years. What on earth did he want to do?
"Was Duanmu Ya captured by you?" Lu Tingzhi looked coldly at the man in front of him. He felt that whether it was his appearance or the feeling he gave off, they were all so unfamiliar.
