MTL - Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child-Chapter 575 Luzhou Deng Family
Chapter 575 Luzhou Deng Family
Xiao Juan originally planned to inquire about the Deng family in Luzhou first, to see how outsiders commented on the Deng family.
Who knew that they had just arrived in Luzhou, and they were being watched.
After Xiao Juan found out, he directly took out the stalker, and only after asking, did he know that the other party was from the Deng family.
The four of them were already prominent, and when they were inquiring about the Deng family, it was impossible for the Deng family not to notice them.
Now that his whereabouts have been exposed, Xiao Yan simply came to visit directly.
Judging from the results of the current investigation, the Deng family's position is unclear. Just in case, Xiao Juan asked Luo Pingsha and Ling Hai to stay outside the mansion to respond.
On the way here, Xiao Juan had already briefly introduced the situation of the Deng family to Weiwei.
The Deng family is the second most famous family in the entire Dayan Dynasty after the Wen family. It has a long history and profound heritage. Almost every generation of emperors will marry the Deng family.
The current Empress Dowager Deng came from the direct line of the Deng family.
And now the head of the entire Deng family is the elder brother of Empress Dowager Deng, named Deng Yuchuan.
Deng Yuchuan was a military general when he was young. He had been stationed at the border for decades. Later, because of his old age, he was relieved and returned to Luzhou.
The housekeeper led Yu Weiwei and Xiao Juan into the flower hall and served refreshments in a very respectful manner.
"You two, please wait a moment, I'll inform the master right away."
But the butler never came back.
Until Yu Lingwei and Xiao Yan finished drinking the tea in the cups, they still didn't see Deng Yuchuan appear.
Yu curled his lips: "It seems that people don't want to see us."
Xiao Yan stood up: "Let's go."
"Um."
As soon as the two of them walked to the door, they saw a group of people walking towards them, and the head of them was Deng Yuchuan.
He is already full of white hair, and it can be seen that when he was young, he should be tall, but now he is old and frail, and his body is a bit hunched. He leans on a cane in one hand and walks slowly.
A young man supported him, lest he accidentally fall.
Deng Yuchuan's eyes were not very good, he narrowed his eyes and looked for a while before confirming the identity of Xiao Lian.
"Where are you going, Your Royal Highness?"
Xiao Lian said calmly, "We have waited for a long time to see no one, thinking that Mr. Deng has something to do, and he doesn't have time to see us, so we plan to visit us another day."
The young man beside Deng Yuchuan was very dissatisfied when he heard this, and opened his mouth to explain it to his grandfather.
"My grandfather is old and in poor health, and he has just contracted the cold in the past few days.
The doctor didn't let him go out, so as not to get caught in the wind.
But he still tried to cheer up to see you.
The speed is a bit slow, I hope His Royal Highness the county king will forgive me. "
Deng Yuchuan motioned to the young man to say a few words, and then introduced to Xiao Juan.
"This child is my youngest grandson. His name is Lu Yun. He is spoiled by his family and has a big temper, but his temperament is very good. I hope His Royal Highness does not have the same knowledge as this child."
He is one child at a time. If Xiao Wan really wants to care about the other party, it will inevitably appear too petty.
Xiao Juan said in a low voice, "It's okay."
Deng Luyun helped his grandfather into the house and asked him to sit down in the main seat. He was very patient throughout the process.
It can be seen that this kid is really filial to his grandfather.
Deng Yuchuan noticed that the tea on the table was gone, and immediately asked someone to change new tea for Xiao Juan and Yu Weiwei.
Xiao Juan: "Don't bother, we just came here to ask a few things, and we'll leave after we've asked, so we won't waste too much time."
Deng Yuchuan spoke very well: "Just ask your Royal Highness, I will definitely answer."
Xiao Lian turned his head to look at the curls.
Scroll took out the drawing paper from his sleeve, unfolded it, and stood it up so that Deng Yuchuan could see clearly the appearance of the woman in the painting.
"I wonder if Mr. Deng knows the person in the painting?"
Deng Yuchuan narrowed his eyes and stared at the young woman in the painting for a long time.
There was no change in his expression, and it was impossible to tell whether he knew him or not.
"I wonder where you got the portrait from?"
Facing his rhetorical question, Yu Lingwei immediately had a positive answer in his heart.
She remained calm and responded calmly.
"I drew this myself."
Deng Yuchuan seemed a little surprised.
He stared at Yu Lingwei for a while: "Princess Princess looks very young, how could she have seen the person in the painting?"
Yu Weiwei: "So it seems that the old man should know the person in the painting."
Deng Yuchuan neither admitted nor denied it.
He withdrew his gaze and said indifferently: "There is no need to mention the past. If His Royal Highness and Princess Princess are here today for the person in the painting, please forgive me for not being able to receive them."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the teacup in his hand.
This is what it means to serve tea to guests.
Yu Weiwei was unwilling to give up and took a step forward with the portrait.
"The name of the person in the painting is Li Niang, she was killed three months ago, and her bones are placed in the Justice Department.
If you know her, please tell us about her.
In this way, we can find out the truth, arrest the murderer, and give her justice! "
Deng Yuchuan's hand holding the tea cup trembled slightly, and the tea almost overflowed.
But soon he regained his composure, his face expressionless and authentic.
"Send off!"
Without waiting for Yu Weiwei to say anything, Deng Luyun started chasing people.
"I've never seen the woman in the painting. She has nothing to do with our Deng family. Princess Princess, please don't embarrass us anymore. Butler, see off!"
The housekeeper immediately walked in and made a gesture of invitation to Yu Weiwei and Xiao Yan.
"Two distinguished guests, please come this way."
Yu Cui Cui took one last look at Deng Yuchuan and saw that he ignored her. Even if she was unwilling, she could only leave with Xiao Fan.
As soon as he walked out of the gate of Deng's house, Yu Lingwei immediately said to Xiao Lian.
"Master Deng must know Li Niang!"
Although Mr. Deng refused to admit it, it could be seen from his reaction that there must be some kind of connection between him and Li Niang.
Xiao Juan reassured: "Don't worry, we'll think of a way."
Luo Pingsha and Ling Hai, who had been waiting outside, walked over quickly.
They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Prince Lang and Princess Consort were safe and sound.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Juan and his party went to a nearby restaurant to discuss things while eating.
Yu Weiwei was very unwilling.
"Master Deng knew Li Niang clearly, but he pretended not to know him, he must have a ghost in his heart!"
Luo Pingsha: "But he doesn't want to admit it, and we can't do anything about him."
As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snakes. Luzhou is the territory of the Deng family. They have great influence here. Even if Xiao Juan is the king of Langjun, he cannot directly touch Deng Yuchuan until he is completely sure.
Xiao Juan clipped a piece of braised deer tendon to the curl, and said in a low voice.
"Let's have dinner first, and in the evening, I'll go to the Deng family to see if I can find the family tree of the Deng family."
If Li Niang was from the Deng family, she would definitely leave her name on the family tree.
Yu's eyes lit up, this is a good idea!
