"That's my guess!" Jiang Luoyu continued, "The Battle of Lonely City was tragic. Not only did Princess Jia'an and Marquis Bo'an die there, but even the eldest wife and those who followed her to Lonely City were all killed there. This is known to the whole country. However, what outsiders don't know is that the survivors of Lonely City, including you and Madam Cheng Lin, were killed. It's just that the news was kept secret in our mansion early on. You were just born that year, so naturally you didn't know the details, but Madam Cheng Lin probably knew something, otherwise she wouldn't have escaped from Lonely City alone. Don't you want to know what kind of people your father and mother are? Don't you want to know the truth about the Battle of Lonely City?"

Jiang Fugui's eyes darkened. Almost all the living people died in the battle of Gucheng. When the news was passed back to the Jiang Mansion, he was immediately banned by his grandmother. Even some of the elderly in the mansion were sent back to their hometown in the countryside.

Jiang Shusen and Jiang Weishi of the second branch did know something, but it was just information pieced together by people they had sent to inquire about various places. It was a mixture of truth and falsehood, so it was difficult to be accurate.

As for what Jiang Luoyu said now, except for the first half which is known to everyone, the latter part is really confusing.

Jiang Fugui really wanted to know the truth about the lonely city back then, otherwise he would not have used various methods to find clues and evidence in his previous life. In the end, he only got Cheng Lin, who died of illness at an early age and was buried in an isolated grave with no one to take care of it.

Even so, Jiang Luoyu may not be able to stay!

Only the dead can keep secrets!

Although his mind was made up, Jiang Fugui's face showed some hesitation. "I think about it, but is it really okay to go see that Cheng Lin Ma? Will Grandmother and Second Uncle be angry?"

"If the Second Miss is worried about the Old Madam and the Second Master getting angry, then let's pick a time to go and see them secretly. Leave Shantu and Shanying in the courtyard, and I'll accompany you to the farm to collect money for you. That way, we won't be afraid of being discovered and alarming the Old Madam and the Second Master."

Fearing that Jiang Fugui would still refuse to agree, Jiang Luoyu resorted to drastic measures: "Madam Cheng Lin once told me that she knew the reason why the lonely city was broken, but she was only willing to tell the Second Young Lady herself..."

"But what about my grandmother and my second uncle..."

Jiang Luoyu could hear Jiang Fugui's worry, and she continued to comfort him: "I dare not force you to do this, but ask yourself, do you really not want to know the truth of what happened back then? They are your father and mother, and even if their bones are broken, they are still connected! Besides, even if the old lady and the second master knew about this, with the old lady doting on you now, the second master wouldn't really do anything to you!"

So that's why he was waiting for her here!

What a good plan!

Jiang Luoyu and the people behind her wanted her to go to Nanny Cheng Lin, thus displeasing her grandmother and second uncle and causing them to be punished.

After all, the battle of Gucheng was a taboo not only in Jiang Mansion, but also outside.

However, Jiang Fugui knew very well that things might not be that simple!

After nodding, Jiang Fugui suddenly realized something and smiled knowingly, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Luo Yu, I didn't expect you to be so smart! Let me think about this matter again. When we set a date, I will let you arrange it."

"Okay, okay! Then I'll go take care of other things first."

Jiang Luoyu got the news, and her face was almost wrinkled with smile. Then she bowed to Jiang Fugui, turned around and left.
