"When...... Really. The housekeeper looked nervous, "Miss, the master has been gone all these years, but if he comes back, the conditions at home will definitely be better than now, you see this courtyard now, there are only a few of us, and the slave can't talk nonsense." ”

Luo Qingluan listened, a little more suspicious in his heart, but he didn't say anything more.

"Forget it, just treat him as dead." It's useless for him to live anyway.

The two of them don't need him anymore.

Back at the Chu Palace, the more Luo Qingluan thought about things, the more wrong things became, the furnishings in the rainbow jade house were very distinctive and eye-catching, but they looked very incompatible in her room, because the styles were very different, which was too suspicious.

Luo Qingluan thought to herself, and was going to talk to him when Nalan Ye came back.

As a result, I didn't think about it, but it was already dark.

Nalan Changyi played in the palace for a day, and came back after dinner, and Nangong Yuxuan had a very good time, the three of them have become good friends, and agreed to bring storybooks and toys to the palace tomorrow to play together.

Su Yi is rarely idle, don't worry about Nangong Yun, she is usually very sticky to her, but suddenly she is not sticky, Su Yi is still a little unaccustomed.

From time to time, I have to look at Nangong Yun, and when I see that she and her two brothers are playing well, no one needs to worry about it at all. Su Yi stole half a day of leisure, sat down under the peach blossom tree in the yard, lay down, and enjoyed the leisure time.

"Is there any news from the people sent to Benlei Villa?"

When night fell, Liang Yuyan came back from outside, Luo Qingluan asked.

"Not yet, but if you calculate the time, you should have reached the boundary of Benlei Villa."

According to the map provided by Nangong Yu, it was almost a day and a half from here to Benlei Villa, and now only a day has passed, so it will take half a day to travel quickly.

"Got it." Luo Qingluan nodded, it seems that the news over there will not arrive until at least the night after tomorrow.

"Don't worry, the case is going well, today Yong'an and they went to find that Shangshu Li Dong, according to the people he caught to depict the general pattern and list of tributes, I believe that it will be a matter of the past two days, and a batch of sample drawings will be issued at that time."

With a sample and list of tributes, things are much easier.

"Really?" Luo Qingluan nodded, "That's not bad." "

After all, if there is no sample drawing, it is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack, and there is no word tribute on the face of the tribute. Especially for special products, there is nothing left after eating and using them.

Luo Qingluan thought of a few things she saw in the General's Mansion during the day, and when she turned around, she also drew them to see if they could be used when the time came.

"Have you heard about the situation over there today?"

Nalan entered the palace at night today, and it is estimated that a corruption investigation team has been set up, starting from the internal corruption **, and the several officials involved in the case before must all be investigated by the whole department. However, he should not come forward, and someone else will be in charge of the case.

"The task force has already started the investigation work, and today it has found three suspects at once, and they are now under investigation." Liang Yuyan has to take care of Leng Li, so most of the time the news from her side is passed on by Yuan Xing Yongan and them.

"Well, it looks like they've been idle these days."

At night, Luo Qingluan painted daytime ornaments in the room. Just relying on his memory, Luo Qingluan's mind repeatedly recalled the patterns of those ornaments for a while. When Luo Qingluan painted the ornament completely, she found that she was a little familiar.

"This

Isn't it a green jade bowl?"

This bowl is not an ordinary bowl, its name is Qingyu Bowl, but it is not a bowl, it is a basin.

Luo Qingluan was sure that the shape of this thing was definitely not Xichu's.

"Haven't slept so late?"

Nalan pushed the door in at night and found that Luo Qingluan was still in front of the lamp.

"You're back." Luo Qingluan suddenly came to his senses.

Recently, the two have been very busy, and they haven't talked well together for a long time. But fortunately, the two have experienced so much, and they have already known each other, and they will not be suspicious because of the occasional separation.

The heavy twilight fell on Nalan Ye's shoulder, bringing in a little coolness, he brought the door, holding a bowl of something in his hand, and walked over.

"Come, eat something to cushion your stomach." Nalan Ye said softly.

This is a bowl of pink translucent meat, and a faint smell of red dates came over, Luo Qingluan smelled it, and immediately had a big appetite: "Red date lotus root powder, hot, just right." ”

"Knowing that you like things with the flavor of red dates, I specially added some ground red date powder to boil it, and it also nourishes blood and nourishes your face after eating, which is just right for you."

Listening to what Nalan Ye said, Luo Qingluan couldn't help but laugh at him: "When did you also study medicine, so clear?" As she spoke, she scooped a spoonful, which was sweet and smooth, and the taste was just right, not to mention Nalan Ye's craftsmanship.

doting on her nose, Nalan Ye said, "Didn't I learn from you?" The lady is a great miracle doctor, although she hasn't seen anyone in the past two years, but the husband knows your past achievements. ”

"Laughing at me?" Luo Qingluan raised his neck, smiling smartly.

Gently touching her lips, Nalan Ye looked pity: "How could I laugh at you?" It's too late to love you, my Qingluan has always been the most powerful, and I can marry you for my husband, but I knocked out hundreds of wooden fish in my previous life. ”

Luo Qingluan snorted and laughed: "I haven't heard you say this for a long time, and it doesn't look numb." ”

Smiling slightly, Nalan Ye picked up the bowl: "If you don't eat it anymore, it will be cold, but you want me to feed you." ”

"Don't be goodbye. I'll do it myself. Luo Qingluan hurriedly picked up the bowl, spoonful by spoonful, and quickly finished eating.

Wiping his mouth, Luo Qingluan was half full, touching his stomach just right, and he didn't delay waiting for a rest.

Looking at the green jade bowl painted in her hand, she pushed the paper in front of Nalan Ye: "You look at it, Nalan Ye, what do you think is wrong?" ”

At first glance, she knew that this was painted by Luo Qingluan, and since she asked so, there must be something wrong.

Nalan Ye took it and looked at it, and said, "Look at the shape and the lines carved on it, this should be Dongwan's style, the green jade bowl, right?" ”

Luo Qingluan smiled: "Nalan Ye, you are not only smart, but also have a good memory, you can recognize it at a glance." ”

"Not only do I remember that this is a green jade bowl unique to Dongwan, but I also know that this shape is usually from the royal family. If you look at the lines, it seems simple, but in fact it is a simplified phoenix feather, and here, with a small shape, you can see its origin. If it weren't for the royal family, the average rich person would use it, but they would lose their heads. ”

Nalan Ye said like a few family treasures: "But now, Dongwan is already a vassal state of Western Chu, these rules have not been strict, if the officials on the side of Western Chu have to use it, the Dongwan royal family can't control it." ”

Luo Qingluan nodded: "Yes, but most Western Chu officials will not do this kind of taboo thing, at most some nouveau riche, in order to show off some collections, they are used to show off on weekdays, but they don't dare to use it openly." ”

As if thinking of something, Nalan Ye asked her: "What are you doing with this thing, do you have any clues?" ”

Recently, the two of them have paid attention to the theft of tribute, as well as Leng Li's injury, and there is no special reason, Luo Qingluan will not ask him so much.

Luo Qingluan nodded: "Yes, but Nalan Ye, guess where I saw this thing?" ”

Seeing her mysterious look, Nalan Ye pondered for a moment: "Could it be the General's Mansion?" ”

Immediately discouraged, Luo Qingluan pouted: "Nalan Ye, why did you guess it all at once, it's boring, you can't even take the exam, why are you so smart." ”

Looking at Luo Qingluan with a smile and a smile, Nalan Ye hugged her slender waist: "Isn't it good to be smart for a husband?" Otherwise, if you ask me for a long time, I don't know, and you still don't get angry? ”

"Okay, I'm not going to tease you."

Nalan couldn't help laughing: "When I came back just now, I happened to meet the housekeeper, and he said that you went back to the General's Mansion today." Other than that, you didn't go anywhere else, so after thinking about it for a while, you naturally guessed so. ”

"Okay, okay, if you are good, I would not have tested you if I had known."

Returning to the topic, Luo Qingluan stopped playing around, and said to Nalan Ye seriously: "You're right, I saw this green jade bowl in the General's Mansion." But Nalan Night, don't you think it's strange? My father has been missing for three years, and the people in the General's Mansion also said that he never went back, but I went to see my grandmother today, and my grandmother passed away, leaving only Hongyu and my younger brother ......"

When Luo Qingluan said today's incident, he also talked about Hongyu and the fact that they did not live in the Chu Palace.

"Obviously, before we went to Dongwan, because we were worried about our grandmother's safety, we took over the Chu Wangfu together with Hongyu and my younger brother, after all, they were all a family, and they also took care of each other. But ......"

Nalan Ye continued her words: "However, we have been away for three years, and Hongyu and they did not stay in the Chu Palace, but went back to the General's Mansion. If the General's Mansion Luocheng is still there, it is normal for them to go back, but Luocheng is gone, they will go back, and now there is this green jade bowl that only Dongwan has, and everything will become problematic. ”

Looking at Nalan Ye's deep eyes, Luo Qingluan grabbed his hand: "Do you also think there is something wrong with Hongyu?" ”

Nalan Ye said: "Is there a problem, you can't guess, you need to investigate, after all, it's ......" His voice softened: "Hongyu is also your stepmother, you used to know each other, if it wasn't for your introduction, she wouldn't have married Luocheng." ”

Nodding, Luo Qingluan was somewhat regretful.

If Hongyu has really changed and there is a problem, it is somewhat a pity. But compared to the importance of the theft of tribute, she will never show mercy. Bending the law for personal gain is not her style, once even Luo Cheng knew the law and broke the law, she reported it to Nangong Qing, and she is still in a wanted state, if Hongyu is also dragged into the water by Luo Cheng, or has something to do with this tribute theft case, she will also kill her relatives in righteousness.

But now, I just hope she's thinking too much.

"Okay, everything is just speculation, just find someone to check it out, and the truth will be revealed." Nalan Ye comforted her, "Okay, it's so late today, don't talk about the offensive anymore, and talk about it tomorrow." ”

Luo Qingluan nodded: "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow, I won't talk about it tonight, I've been very busy lately, and you haven't rested well, so go to bed early tonight." ”

As she spoke, she didn't think much about it, she still had some suspicions that Luo Cheng had secretly returned to the General's Mansion, but she didn't mention it to Nalan Ye, and put it aside for the time being.
