Chapter 62.1 - The Clues Which Were Suddenly Discovered (1/2)

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.
