Luo Qing Luan returned to the General"s Mansion, and changed once again, then asked Dai Yue to bring Nanny Song.

"My Lady, what do you need from me?" Nanny Song"s face was filled with wrinkles, as if she was a bit tired. With one look, it was apparent that she had been busy. Luo Qing Luan allowed her to sit down, then had Dai Yue pour her a cup of tea. Only after she rested and drank some tea did Luo Qing Luan speak.

"Last night, I heard that Father"s Concubine"s room was quite noisy, so I had Dai Yue go make inquiries. Does Wet Nurse know the situation with the servant named Bitao?" She didn"t ask directly. Luo Qing Luan approached it a bit tactfully, not wanting to alarm Nanny Song.

"Sigh, why is My Lady asking about this?"

Nanny Song seemed to not have expected this question, but she still answered. "During these years, the side madam drove out all of the servants who once served the Madam. Otherwise, she found some reason to beat them to death. She truly has been ruthless. In the past, even I didn"t know that Bitao had once served the Madam. I suddenly understood something only when I heard her yell something. If it weren"t for that, I"m afraid she also wouldn"t have been……"

With a glance, Luo Qing Luan asked, "what did she yell?"

Nanny Song creased her eyebrows, seemingly recalling memories. "At that time, I just happened to pa.s.s by the side madam"s courtyard and was getting ready to boil water in the kitchen, when I heard Bitao"s voice. She said something indiscernible, but was immediately slapped. After that, she screamed and said something about safflower soup."

Nanny Song originally didn"t notice anything until she heard the ruckus from the side madam"s room, so she stopped to listen. Who knew that soon after, the side madam threw a fit and said that Bitao seduced the Master or something. It was a complete mess at the time, drawing the attention of quite a few servants. She also wasn"t able to hear very clearly.

Safflower soup? Once she heard this, Luo Qing Luan had a thought.

Even though safflower is a kind of medicine, it wasn"t something that anyone can casually use. If the dosage was too high, it could cause a miscarriage. Consequently, not matter whether it was the imperial harem, or an average home, this flower wouldn"t easily appear.

"Wet nurse, do you know that Bitao died today?" Luo Qing Luan asked probingly.

"Uh……died? Bitao died?" Nanny Song was shocked. Her eyes contained an unspeakable fear and surprise. She appeared completely dazed, as if she"d lost her soul, then lowered her head losing her composure. It was as if she"d forgotten that Luo Qing Luan was still beside her, muttering continually, mouth not stopping, but it was unclear what she was saying.

"Wet nurse, what"s up?" Once she saw Nanny Song"s appearance, Luo Qing Luan was even more suspicious.

Because Bitao already died, maybe besides w.a.n.g Xue Ru, no one else knew exactly what happened last night. However, w.a.n.g Xue Ru would absolutely not tell the truth even if she was asked. She merely scolded and beat a servant. As the side madam, even Luo Cheng wouldn"t casually find fault with her.

And the only other person who heard something at the time was Nanny Song, yet she also didn"t know the details. Moreover, from her appearance, she was clearly hiding something. She"s afraid that in order to investigate this matter properly, she still needed to start with Nanny Song.

"Wet Nurse, tell me, is it because Bitao once served my mother that Father"s Concubine had her beaten to death?"

With the mention of the former Madam, Nanny Song suddenly changed and looked at Luo Qing Luan with a solemnly, as if she sensed something. She was frightened, hesitating whether she should speak out.

It"s just that……she also merely suspected what might"ve happened at that time and did not have any conclusive evidence. If the Young Lady were to know, and she rashly went to find the side madam to make inquiries, how would that not be harmful to her instead?

It"s still better to wait. Presently, the eldest daughter had married, so the young lady is the only daughter left by the Master"s side. Moreover, the lady is no longer like she was in the past, perhaps the Master will slowly change his view of her. Maybe it would be much better to mention this matter to her when that time came.

"I also don"t know. After all, I don"t know Bitao that well. Regarding this……" Nanny Song already had a plan, so she did not disclose everything that she knew. Luo Qing Luan asked a few more questions, but wasn"t able to find out anything else, so she just dropped the subject.

Allowing Nanny Song to withdraw and go rest, Luo Qing Luan stopped their conversation as cleanly as possible, pushing this matter to the bottom of her mind. For the time being, she no longer pursued it.

Just as she prepared to go find Boss Li, Luo Qing Luan never expected that the father who never attached any importance to her at all would actually specifically come to see her.

The smiling expression on his face was brighter than usual, contrasting with w.a.n.g Xue Ru"s especially unsightly expression by his side. Luo Qing Luan had no idea what"s going on, but judging by Luo Cheng"s pretty good expression, it shouldn"t be something bad.

"Father had never visited my little courtyard before. Is there a reason you"re looking for me today?" Luo Qing Luan asked unenthusiastically, not smiling much at all.

An awkward expression flashed as Luo Cheng coughed then cleared his throat. "Does there have to be a reason for your father to visit you? Just now, Her Highness the Empress had someone send a verbal order and bestowed some things upon you. I especially brought them here to give to you."

So that"s what it was. Not surprising considering that her father was someone who doesn"t do much without an ulterior motive. Only now did Luo Qing Luan notice that there were two servants following behind Luo Cheng while carrying some things.

After the servants left the items on the table top, Luo Cheng took another glance at her courtyard, which was not picturesque in the least. There were even weeds everywhere. As for Luo Qing Luan"s bedroom, it was even more simple and crude. There wasn"t even a single decorative item. He spoke. "Qing Luan, the courtyard you"re living in is a bit worn down, you should find someone to remodel it a bit. You also should have some people redecorate your dwelling.….."

What"s the deal here now? The father who had never cared about her, when did he become so kindhearted?
