Chapter 154 We Have to Keep Crying
After Mrs. He left, Ma Ruoning lay in bed and couldn't help but think about it again.
Thinking about how much her father had doted on her over the years, Ma Ruoning couldn't believe that he sent someone to kill her.
Ma Ruoning kicked the quilt in annoyance, accidentally pulling the wound, and she grimaced in pain.
She thought again, she had told her mother about those things, is her mother okay?
And Xiaotao, she changed into her own clothes to lure the thieves away. Is she... still alive?
Ma Ruoning didn't cry when he encountered thieves.
She didn't cry when she thought that her father, who had doted on her for more than ten years, might want to kill her.
The only thing she cried was when she thought of the little girl who had been with her for more than ten years.
Covering herself with the quilt, Zhang Ruoning burst into tears, as if no one would know that she was crying.
Ye Wu, who was outside the door, heard the crying, looked at the note in his hand, sighed, and finally did not go in.
At the same time, Liu He frowned as he looked at the secret letter in his hand. It turned out that he was rescued by the lady.
That farm is not far from here. If we expand the scope, we will definitely reach that farm.
It's a small matter to bother the lady, but if the lady's identity is exposed...
Thinking of this, Liu He's eyes turned cold and he looked at Geng Wu with an unfriendly expression.
Almost at the same time, Geng Wu looked over, and Liu He reacted quickly, the murderous intent in his eyes quickly dissipated.
Geng Wu touched his head in confusion. What was going on? He clearly felt murderous intent, but how come it was gone when he turned around?
Geng Wu shook his head and sensed carefully again, but still nothing.
Liu He was very nervous. He didn't expect Geng Wu to sense it in an instant. He underestimated it. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and judging from Geng Wu's appearance, he should not have noticed it.
Geng Wu looked around and saw the note in Liu He's hand, "Eunuch Liu, what is this?"
Liu He had deliberately not put it away just now. He didn't expect that this rough guy would wait so long before seeing it.
Liu He looked embarrassed and whispered, "Secret letter."
Geng Wu's eyes widened, and Liu He quickly covered his mouth, "Keep your voice down."
"Did you feel it just now?" Liu He looked around and whispered to him.
Geng Wu patted Liu He's hand and said politely, "Did the eunuch also feel the murderous aura?"
Liu He nodded seriously, "It seems that there are people around us who are not on the same page as us."
Geng Wu's eyes widened, but before he could say anything, Liu He said, "I have some news about the young lady. Let's go back first. Call the Duke of Anguo to the palace and we'll talk slowly."
Geng Wu had no doubt and went back with the people from the Duke's Mansion and the Ma Mansion.
Liu He asked the others to go back first, and he went to the farm alone.
On the way here, Liu He took the opportunity to send a letter to Xuan Yelan. With His Majesty's wisdom, he knew how to cover up this matter.
At the farm, Ye Wu was already waiting for him.
"Where is the person?" Liu He asked as soon as he came up.
Ye Wu raised his eyes and motioned him to look over. "He has been crying for a long time. Madam told us to take good care of him. It seems that he has no intention of leaving."
Liu He nodded. He was not stupid enough to hide first. "Then I will stay here with you for the time being. Please take care of me."
Ye Wu nodded, "That's natural."
After saying that, Liu He didn't even go to look, but hurried to the palace.
He walked very fast, but when he came back, Duke Anguo was already in the imperial study.
Fortunately, the news came in advance, otherwise His Majesty would have been confused by Duke Anguo's questions.
The door of the imperial study was closed, so Liu He did not go in and just waited outside.
Inside the palace, Duke Anguo was filled with righteous indignation, "Your Majesty, why didn't you tell me about Ruoning's news?"
Xuan Yelan raised his hand and said, "An Qing, please be patient. Didn't I ask you to come?"
Duke Anguo realized that he had lost his temper and apologized quickly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was just in a hurry."
"It's okay," Xuan Yelan raised his hand and motioned him to sit down.
After he sat down, Xuan Yelan spoke, "There is indeed news about the young lady. She is safe now."
"Really?" Duke Anguo stood up excitedly.
Xuan Yelan raised her hand to signal him to sit down and listen to him continue, "She fell off a cliff and was rescued by someone. It just so happens that I know the person who rescued her."
“She fell off the cliff, then…then…” Upon hearing that his great-granddaughter had fallen off the cliff, Duke Anguo lost his composure.
Ma Yu, who had been standing by and not saying anything, was helping Duke Anguo calm down while asking worriedly, "How about Ruoning, is her injury serious?"
It is impossible not to get hurt if you fall off a cliff.
Qi Wuyou spoke first, "He's fine. He broke his leg. He was in a coma for the past two days and just woke up today."
Duke Anguo and Ma Yu breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. "That's good. As long as the person is okay, it's good."
Duke Anguo asked again, "When will this old minister take her back?"
Xuan Yelan shook his head. "No hurry. The murderer hasn't been caught yet. It's better for Miss not to come back for the time being."
"Besides, the young lady is injured and should not be moved casually."
"Besides, the young lady herself doesn't seem to want to come back."
Xuan Yelan finished speaking in one breath, and Duke Anguo and Ma Yu nodded, "Your Majesty is absolutely right."
I guess that girl Ruoning also knew that someone was hiring a killer and hid there on purpose.
"But, what about Ruoning's injury?" Duke Anguo was worried about this.
Xuan Yelan replied, "I've already consulted a doctor. Fortunately, he will recover in less than three months if he takes care of himself."
Xuan Yelan only said that she had found a doctor, but did not say that it was Madam He who examined her. When the time came to pick Zhang Ruoning up, she would not have to show up.
Duke Anguo nodded upon hearing this and was completely relieved. He still trusted Xuan Yelan very much.
Then he remembered what Madam Ma had said to him, and his expression suddenly became stern, "Your Majesty, how do we deal with Zhang Ji?"
Xuan Yelan shook his head. "No hurry. There is no evidence now. I have already sent people to keep an eye on Zhang's house. As soon as that person shows up, he will be captured immediately."
"But at that time, Miss will need to come out to identify him."
"Of course," Duke Anguo bowed his hands, "If there is nothing else," I will take my leave now, as someone at home is worried about me.
"There is one more thing that requires your cooperation." Xuan Yelan said.
Duke Anguo and Ma Yu looked at each other and said, "I understand, old minister."
Ma Yu supported Duke Anguo and went back to the Duke's Mansion without stopping, and told them that Zhang Ruoning was fine.
Mrs. Ma cried with joy, "God bless you."
"Keep your voice down," Duke Anguo scolded harshly, and Madam Ma was startled.
Princess Rui'an stood in front of Ma Yu, confused, "Dad?"
Ma Yu explained, “We have to keep crying.”
Mrs. Ma was puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Princess Rui'an asked in confusion, "Your Majesty wants us to announce the funeral?"
Duke Anguo said, "It is not your Majesty's intention, this is also our intention."
Princess Rui'an looked at her husband beside her, and the latter nodded solemnly.
Princess Rui'an didn't quite understand why she had to do this, but she believed in her father and husband. "Okay, I'll go get ready."
After saying that, he pulled the confused Mrs. Ma out.
