Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 211

The man sneered, and said in a mocking tone: "The daughter of the prime minister's family can lie, no wonder she is hunted down, she is so stupid!"

Luo Qingyan was so ashamed by his scolding, she stood up suddenly from the ground, and pulled off the black cloth covering his face.

"You're not sneaky, you don't even dare to show your face!"

As soon as the words fell, she also pulled the black cloth off the man's face, and watched the black cloth in the hands of that face fall to the ground.

"you……"

Before Luo Qingyan could say a word, she felt dizzy suddenly, and her body fell limply.

The man reached out to catch her, and carried her away from the alley.

On the other side, all the servants guarding Luo Qingyan in Ruo's mansion passed out, unable to wake up no matter how they were called.

Ruo Chaofeng sat at the table, squinted his eyes slightly, and said indifferently: "It's you who gossip and spread the news that the second prince is getting married?"

"Servant, servant..." The servant girl knelt on the ground and trembled in fright. She didn't expect that she would be punished for her unintentional sentence, and she was too scared to answer.

Ruo Chaofeng drew a curve at the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "Since you know that you have done something wrong, you should bear the consequences!"

"Master, please forgive me, please forgive me, this servant will never dare again." The servant girl cried and begged for mercy.

"Come here, drag him out and beat him to death!"

As soon as Ruo Chaofeng finished speaking, a guard walked in.

The servant girl's eyes widened in horror, and she kept crawling backwards, but she couldn't escape no matter what.

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life!"

"Pull out—"

The guard dragged the maid down, and the room fell silent instantly.

Ruo Chaofeng turned his head and looked out of the window, thinking deeply, no one could guess what he was thinking.

"Why did the godfather vent his anger on the servant girl? Even if she doesn't tell her about it, it will be known sooner or later. It's not a day or two for her to want to leave here."

A clear and pleasant female voice sounded from outside the study, Ruo Chaofeng frowned and turned around, only to see Ye Jinran in purple walking in.

Her facial features are exquisite and beautiful, her skin is creamy, and her bright phoenix eyes seem to contain twinkling stars.

The long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the pink lips outlined a shallow arc, which made people feel very comfortable, as gentle as a spring breeze.

"Jinran, why are you here?" Ruo Chaofeng asked.

Ye Jinran stepped closer and said, "There is such a big battle in the mansion, how can I not come here."

Ruo Chaofeng sighed lightly and said, "Hey, you don't know how serious this matter is."

"Maybe it's a good thing?" Ye Jinran smiled lightly.

Ruo Chaofeng was stunned, he didn't understand what he meant, but he had a lot of feelings in his heart for this face that was somewhat similar to his daughter's.

Although she and her daughter are somewhat similar, their personalities are completely different.

"Godfather, don't worry, she can't run away. Sometimes, she will give up completely only if one person recognizes the truth." Ye Jinran frowned, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Ruo Chaofeng nodded, and murmured: "You have really changed a lot..."

He originally thought that Ye Jinran would act willfully and recklessly as before, but now she has learned to endure and understand the overall situation.This change made him feel relieved.

"Godfather, don't you want to go see the godmother?" Ye Jinran lowered her eyes, pursed her lips and continued: "The godmother's mood has stabilized recently, and she is no different from ordinary people now except for forgetting about that matter."

"It's fine to forget." Ruo Chaofeng let out a long sigh of relief, and slowly sat down on the chair.

Ye Jinran looked at the sad-faced person and continued: "It's just that the godmother is still a little weak, and often has nightmares again and again, and needs to rely on nourishing soup for maintenance."

This matter has always been a knot in Mrs. Ruo's heart. Miss Ruo's death has hit her too hard, even if she has forgotten it, she still dreams about it often.

"This is already very good, thank you Jinran." Ruo Chaofeng was very grateful in his heart, without this girl, the madam might not be able to support it long ago.

Ye Jinran smiled lightly, and said in a very solemn tone: "I should thank my godfather. You gave me a home and let me know what it feels like to be loved by my parents."

The two smiled similarly, each feeling sad and helpless.

Chunfeng Building has been unable to open because of the case, and the chef and others who were released are worried.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Who knows, but I absolutely don't believe that this matter has something to do with Miss Lu, the shopkeeper."

"Yes, they must have been wronged."

At this moment, a cowardly voice suddenly sounded, "But I remember, he sneaked into the kitchen to eat pastries because he was too hungry."

Those words instantly made all the people present look at him. The person who spoke was a handyman in the back kitchen. On weekdays, he had the best relationship with the waiter in front of him, and both of them lived in this shop.

"Even so, so what, these pastries are eaten every day, why don't people get poisoned?"

"That's right, could it be that you saw him die after using up the pastry with your own eyes, or that you poisoned the pastry and let him eat it on purpose?"

The servant instantly became the target of everyone's attacks. In their hearts, Lu Nanzhi would never kill anyone, let alone do anything that would damage Chunfenglou.

"I, I just said it casually." Seeing the eyes of everyone, the boy shrank his shoulders in fright.

"It's better to go to the prison and talk about it."

Suddenly a voice came from behind, and then a group of soldiers in official uniforms came.

Zhou Fu Yin came to the servant and asked: "Is it true that the waiter in the shop once ate pastries?"

"Yes, it's true." The servant was trembling with fear.

Master Zhou waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately pulled the boy away.

The rest of the people looked at each other face to face, not daring to say anything.

Shen Lanze just came to Chunfeng Tower, Master Zhou saw his face changed slightly, and hurried up to say hello.

Shen Lanze smiled lightly: "Master Zhou?"

Zhou Fuyin explained with a smile: "I am following orders!"

"Oh? Is he related to the case?" Shen Lanze intentionally showed doubts, and then glanced at the boy beside him.

Zhou Fu Yin's heart skipped a beat, and he said hastily: "It's just for the investigation, a routine inquiry."

Shen Lanze nodded with a smile and didn't talk, just walked past him without asking any more questions, which instead made Zhou Fuyin a little confused.

"I don't know why Mr. Shen came here..."

"Investigate the Prime Minister's case, what else Zhou Fu Yin wants to know? Or what else do you want to inquire about?" Shen Lanze stopped in his tracks, with a bit of coldness in his voice.

Zhou Fuyin's heart skipped a beat, and he waved his hands again and again: "Don't dare, I will leave now." After speaking, he left in a hurry.

Shen Lanze watched him leave, the corners of his mouth curled up in a seemingly uncurved way.

When everyone saw Shen Lanze coming in, they rushed forward.

"Mr. Shen, what's going on?"

"Is there any way to save Miss Lu and the shopkeeper?"

"What should we do to help Mr. Shen save him?"

Everyone asked in a hurry.

"Who was taken away just now?" Shen Lanze didn't answer them, but asked suddenly after frowning for a moment.

One of them described what happened just now.

After hearing this, Shen Lanze narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent.
