She was still very graceful at that time.
His appearance is outstanding in the whole village.
Her uncle wanted to take her back and buy her for a better price.
During this time, Xiaodie threatened to commit suicide many times, which delayed the process for several more years.
Chapter 381 Minglan's Heart Knot
But in this world, there is only a thief who steals for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thief who guards against thieves for a thousand days.
Xiaodie's uncle never gave up on selling Xiaodie.
When Lu Xiao sent people to find her, his master, who had somehow found a way, was planning to secretly sell Xiaodie to a local brothel in Yangzhou.
Lu Xiao didn't know how Xiaodie got through this in the original timeline.
But when his men found Xiaodie more than a year ago, the brothel thug was about to take her away by force.
Fortunately, Lu Xiao had already achieved the title of Juren by then, and he was not short of money.
This is how he redeemed Xiaodie and saved her.
Later, he had Xiaodie sent to Aunt Wei's place.
Since then, Xiaodie finally settled down.
It's just that Xiaodie didn't say anything about these things at the moment.
She was afraid that if she told Minglan, she would feel bad.
Then, Xiaodie picked up the bracelet.
"Girl, come, let me put it on you."
After saying this, she grabbed Minglan's hand and put the bracelet on it.
Minglan said with red eyes: "I know, it must not be you who took it. You were framed."
She was talking about how Xiaodie was deliberately framed by Lin Qinshuang.
After hearing this, Xiaodie hugged Minglan tightly again.
"My affairs are all in the past. What's important now is my wife's affairs."
She then continued, "We've thought about it. Apart from the people in Lin Xiaoniang's room, there's no one else."
Aunt Wei next to her said, "There's also a doctor coming with us this time."
After saying this, she looked at Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao immediately shouted outside: "Bring the people in."
When Minglan heard this, she immediately asked, "Doctor? Have you found the doctor who treated my mother back then?"
Minglan was very smart and matured very early in her childhood.
Don't look at the fact that she was only a few years old when her mother died.
But she still remembers the incident vividly.
Over the years, she has always suspected that her mother did not die in childbirth, but was murdered.
So she has been secretly investigating this matter.
However, that was too far away after all.
When I checked, I really couldn't get started.
After all these years, there is still no clue.
At this moment, the clever Minglan turned her attention to Lu Xiao and asked with a puzzled look.
"How did you know this?"
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "I've said it before, I know you much better than you think. Investigating these matters is nothing to me."
Minglan knew that Lu Xiao had great magical powers, but she never thought they would be this powerful.
For a moment I didn't know how to respond.
At this moment, the servant of the mansion came in with a trembling middle-aged man.
As soon as the man entered the room, he immediately knelt down in front of Lu Xiao.
"See, see the Marquis."
At this moment he was trembling with fear.
I dared not even raise my head.
Lu Xiao said quietly, "Doctor Zhang, don't be afraid. I'm not a cannibal. I invited you to Bianjing this time because I have some questions for you. As long as you answer truthfully, I promise to send you back safely."
After hearing this, Doctor Zhang's heart finally settled down a little.
Ten days ago, he was still collecting herbs in the mountains thousands of miles away.
As soon as I got home, I met the people Lu Xiao sent to Yangzhou.
Then those people carried him away from home without saying a word.
The journey was by car and by boat.
After many days of traveling, they arrived in Bianjing.
On the way, he learned from Wei Xiaoniang that a nobleman from Bianjing City wanted to see him and asked him some questions.
It was about a patient he had treated many years ago.
And the person who asked the question was a marquis.
In all honesty, the highest official he had ever met in his life was only a sixth or seventh rank official.
When I heard that a marquis wanted to see me, I was so panicked.
These days, he has no appetite and can't sleep well.
"Yes, little one, I know."
Doctor Zhang replied immediately.
I was afraid that if I spoke too late, I would bring disaster upon myself.
Seeing this, Lu Xiao said again, "Don't be afraid. Stand up and sit down to talk."
When Doctor Zhang heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle.
"No, that's not necessary. I'll just kneel down and feel at ease."
Well, seeing this situation, Xiao no longer forced himself.
Then he looked at Minglan: "Ask."
Minglan immediately asked, "Sir, do you still remember what happened back then?"
Aunt Wei had actually asked this question before Minglan came.
Doctor Zhang immediately said with a bitter face, "My lord, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I can't remember. I've treated countless people over the years, but I really can't remember the person you want to ask about."
Aunt Wei said anxiously, "Doctor Zhang, please think about this carefully. This matter is really important to us."
Doctor Zhang was on the verge of tears. "I understand, Lord, please spare my life. If I could truly remember anything, I would tell you everything. My mind is truly confused and all is blank right now. Please forgive me, Lord."
Lu Xiao said, "If you can't remember, you can think about it later. I said I won't embarrass you, and I really won't. Don't scare yourself into death."
Minglan stood up at this time and walked to Doctor Zhang's side.
"I hope you will forgive me, sir. We were just too concerned and that's why we scared you. But the patient you were treating was my wife, and this has been a knot in my heart for years. If you don't remember it, then I'm afraid no one else in the world can resolve my doubts."
Perhaps because Minglan looked so familiar, Doctor Zhang felt a little relieved after hearing this.
Then he frowned and thought for a long time, but finally shook his head helplessly.
"My lord, I really can't remember it. You can't let me just talk nonsense."
At this moment, Minglan remembered something and quickly said:
"I remember when you were treating my young wife, a nobleman fell into the river in Yangzhou. My family was surrounded by soldiers and the entire city of Yangzhou was searching for him."
Human memory is so magical.
There are many things that I just can't remember no matter how hard I try, but once someone reminds me and gives me a head start, everything changes immediately.
As soon as these words came out, a different look suddenly appeared on Doctor Zhang's face.
"Wait, I think I remember now. Your family is very unusual. It's the mistress who manages the household, not the mistress. Your father was the magistrate of Yangzhou at the time, right?"
Minglan nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it's my home."
Doctor Zhang continued, "When your family first invited me, I was very happy, thinking I would have connections with the government. But when I first arrived at your house that day, the yard was filled with soldiers and officers. I was so scared that I thought, if you invite me again, I would never find a way to refuse. But no one has invited me since then."
Hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed across Minglan's eyes.
Now that he's dead, naturally no one will ask him to come again.
But she still insisted and asked: "Yes, sir, may I ask what happened that day? Do you remember?"
Chapter 382 Revenge
After being reminded, all the memories of that day suddenly came flooding back to Dr. Zhang.
He then recalled, "I, I first saw the housekeeper's daughter, and then I saw a pregnant lady."
Minglan asked anxiously, "Yes, yes, that person behind is my mother. What happened then?"
Doctor Zhang said, "After I examined the pregnant woman, I went to report back to the young woman who had come before me. I said that the baby was a little large, but it wasn't a big problem. As long as she was kept under close supervision, not over-supplemented, and given a light diet and plenty of walking, she would be safe."
Minglan immediately recalled how Lin Qinshuang had suddenly become very kind to her mother since Doctor Zhang's consultation. Not only had she prepared delicious meals for her mother, but she had also arranged for numerous servants to watch over her all day, saying it was for the safety of the fetus and that she should not move around too much.
At this moment, Minglan finally understood how her mother died.
Lu Xiao stepped forward and supported Minglan.
Doctor Zhang was puzzled when he saw this scene, so he bravely asked, "So, what happened?"
Minglan leaned on Lu Xiao's arm, regaining some strength, and then spoke.
"That young woman died of a hemorrhage during childbirth, and she lost the baby in her belly as well."
Doctor Zhang was suddenly anxious: "What? That's impossible. I told you 610, as long as you eat less and move more, the baby will definitely be born safely."
He has been seeing gynecologists all his life and is very confident in his diagnosis.
Minglan said, "What would happen if someone tried to feed her delicacies and asked her to improve her manners?"
Doctor Zhang immediately said, "This is nonsense! The baby will be large and difficult to deliver!"
Minglan asked, "Can you swear to heaven that you are telling the truth?"
Doctor Zhang said without hesitation, "I swear to heaven, this is not an empty promise."
The truth finally came to light.
But even so, even if they went to court, they still couldn't convict Lin Qinshuang.
First, this case is too old, and it is impossible to conclude the case based on just a doctor's testimony.
Secondly, this is a matter of the Sheng family's inner chambers. If this scandal were to become known to everyone, the reputation of the women in the Sheng family would undoubtedly be severely affected.
Therefore, if you want revenge, you can only use other means.
Of course, for Lu Xiao, helping Minglan to take revenge was not a difficult task.
To describe it as easy as pie is absolutely no exaggeration.
Patting Minglan's shoulder gently, Lu Xiao asked, "What do you want to do?"
Minglan thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "Brother-in-law, I know that if you help me, I can easily make Lin Qinshuang pay the price, but I still want to take revenge myself."
The hatred for killing one's mother and brother is irreconcilable.
Lu Xiao understood Minglan's desire to kill her enemies with her own hands.
So he said directly: "Okay, I won't interfere for now, but you have to promise me that no matter how you seek revenge, you will not put yourself in danger."
Minglan nodded: "Yes, thank you, brother-in-law."
Lu Xiao smiled and said, "There's no need to thank me between you and me."
