Currently, the most important matter was to look into the midwife who helped her mother deliver and that physician. If the two of them were still alive, then that's best. Luo Qing Luan swore that no matter how hard their mouths were, she'd still have a way to pry them open.

Using what Nanny Song knew as the starting point, Luo Qing Luan was very disappointed to discover that the midwife already died.

Even though she already anticipated this earlier on, when she learned this news, she still couldn't help but clenched her hands into fists.

No matter whether this midwife died naturally of old age, or if she was put to death by someone under Wang Xue Ru, Luo Qing Luan would still be unable to find any clues from the former's body. As for the physician with the last name Zhang, he was similarly a senior over fifty years old. She heard that he moved away from the capital over five years ago and returned to his native county of Fengyang to retire.

After spending over a thousand taels of silver to ask for information, that was the outcome. Luo Qing Luan was very disappointed, but she wasn't discouraged at all. Since there was news, she would investigate to the very end. She already sent someone to inform Nalan Ye. Since he already agreed to help her, he would not delay in sending someone to travel over five hundred kilometers towards Fengyang county to find the truth. She wanted to know whether this Physician Zhang was still alive or dead!

At the same time that Luo Qing Luan was looking for information, Wang Xue Ru, who already had people keep tabs on Luo Qing Luan, naturally also perceptively received news.

"What. That loathsome girl is actually looking into the matter from that year?"

Unable to hold back from smashing the teacup in her hand, Wang Xue Ru's lovely face immediately turned malevolent, gnashing her teeth. "How did she know?"

It had already been so many years. She'd always hid everything so well. No one within the entire General's Mansion suspected her in any way whatsoever. All of Madam's previous servants and maids had already been disposed of by her, but she didn't expect that after so many years, Luo Qing Luan would actually start to look into this matter. Could it be that Luo Qing Luan suspected her mother to be killed by her?

The thing done at the time was extremely well hidden. Besides a few trusted aides, no one else knew.

Wang Xue Ru looked at Ziyu in front of her chillingly. "Have you said anything that you shouldn't have said?"

Ziyu quickly kneeled down with a plop. "Spare me, Side Madam. Even if this servant had nerves of steel, I still wouldn't dare to betray you!"

"I also presume that you wouldn't dare!" Fiercely slapping the soft recliner, Wang Xue Ru ordered. "Send someone to follow that loathsome girl. No matter where she goes, who she meets, inform me without delay. If there's any mistake, don't blame me for ignoring compassion!"

"Yes, Side Madam!" Ziyu quickly obeyed.

Just as she was about to send her away, Wang Xue Ru thought of something and immediately held her back. "Wait."

This matter was of great importance, she couldn't help but be a bit more careful.

What happened at that time absolutely could not be found out. Otherwise, not only her, even her daughter, who already became Fifth Prince's side consort, would be implicated. Once she thought of this, a murderous light flashed through her eyes and she said darkly and coldly, "Go find the butler."

It seemed she'd need to make use of this kind of method. Otherwise, she's afraid the efforts she'd put in for so many years would be ruined at the final stretch.

……

Three days later, Luo Qing Luan still did not receive any news from Nalan Ye.

Even though she was a bit anxious, she also knew things couldn't be rushed. The distance between the capital and Fengyang County was over five hundred kilometers. Even if a horse travelled at full speed, it would need two to three days to make the trip. Moreover, she didn't believe that Nalan Ye would truly take her matter to be a priority. It was already good enough that he agreed to help, but to hope that he'd take it seriously?

"My Lady……" Just as she felt somewhat gloomy, Dai Yue came in, appearing to be very pleasantly surprised. "His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone here to invite you to attend an opera at his mansion. He also sent a lot of presents. You should quickly go see."

Why's Nangong Qing coming again? Luo Qing Luan was a bit gloomy and didn't want to go see him at all.

She currently only wanted to find out the truth of her mother's matter, but during this recent month, Nangong Qing had always been looking for her. Thinking about his identity and in addition, Nangong Qing was indeed refined and courteous, she also felt that it was improper for her to reject him too severely, so she visited him once. She didn't expect that he actually misunderstood and became even more eagerly attentive.

Since she didn't like him, it would appear that she should still reject him in a more straightforward manner!

Seeing as Luo Qing Luan didn't speak, Dai Yue smiled happily. "My Lady, what is it? Are you so happy that you're blanking out?"

Luo Qing Luan shook her head. This girl was too simple and didn't understand anything. She wouldn't understand even if it was explained. She replied emotionlessly. "Nothing. Is the messenger from the crown prince's mansion still here? If he left……"

"Still here, still here!" Dai Yue thought that Luo Qing Luan agreed, so she answered excitedly. "I'll have him wait. I'll immediately pass on your reply to him. You want to accept the invitation, right? The master is receiving him out front!"

Speechless for a time, Luo Qing Luan also didn't know whether she should knock on Dai Yue's skull to wake her up, and tell her that she didn't like the crown prince. After thinking some more, she figured it's better to just drop the subject. Even if Dai Yue understood, Luo Cheng would still have her go meet Nangong Qing.

In Luo Cheng's mind, the only use for this daughter of his was to strengthen his position and honor. As for the affection between a father and a daughter, it already vanished like smoke when her mother passed away.

After changing, she arrived at the anteroom. Sure enough, Luo Cheng was speaking with a middle aged man who looked like a butler. Once he saw her, he immediately smiled. "Qing Luan, look, His Highness the Crown Prince is truly considerate. Recently, a well known musical theatrical troupe arrived. This was Her Highness the Empress……oh, should be the previous empress, they were her favorite theatrical group among the common people. His Highness the Crown Prince especially sent someone to come welcome you to go over there and see an opera. Aren't you happy?"
