To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 301 Delivering Meals

  Luo Mansion spent this difficult night in panic.

  Luo Sheng went to the restaurant again.

   At this time, countless pairs of eyes are staring at the Governor's Mansion, and it is not as convenient as being outside.

  For example, the meeting with King Kaiyang.

  King Kaiyang's visit to the wine shop is still different from going to the gate of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

   "What did your lord find?" Luo Sheng picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, and handed it to the man sitting opposite.

   Jin Linwei is now under the control of Pingli, Luo Sheng has doubts about him, so naturally he will not pin his hopes on Jin Linwei.

"It was the magistrate of Liuqing County who reported the governor. It was said that a businessman from Nanyang met a middle-aged man in a town under the jurisdiction of Liuqing County. Inform on..."

  Luo Sheng listened silently, thinking about the distribution of towns in the south.

  Liuqing County and Jinsha County are both under the jurisdiction of Jinling Prefecture. The two counties are one in the south and the other in the north.

  Jinsha County is the ancestral home of Miss Luo and the Yue family of Governor Luo.

  Whether there is a connection, she doesn't know, but it is worth noting.

  Luo Chen lived in Jinsha since he was a child, and there are more Jinlin guards stationed in Jinling Mansion than in other places, so it is said that he has stronger control over Jinling.

   But it happened that the county magistrate under the jurisdiction of Jinling Mansion reported on Governor Luo.

   "Even so, at most, my father will be punished for his ineffectiveness. Why do you say that my father let go of Zhennan Wang's youngest son?"

   Wei Han took a sip of tea and moistened his chapped lips: "The guard admitted it himself."

   "Impossible!" Luo Sheng's complexion changed slightly.

  Since Governor Luo saved the real Baoer Luo Chen back then, there was no need to take the risk of letting the other children go in full view, otherwise there would be no tragedy of the baby being thrown to death in the street.

  The guard might be lucky enough to escape with Xiaoqi like Yang Zhun did, but it is unreasonable to say that Governor Luo blatantly let the fake Baoer go because of his soft heart.

   To be able to sit on the seat of the commander of the Jinlin Guard, Governor Luo is definitely not a good man and a believer.

   Of course, this does not affect that he is a good father, and even a good person at certain times.

   "Miss Luo thinks that guard slandered the governor?"

  Luo Sheng frowned slightly.

  No one in this world knows better than her who is the real Bao'er, and the guard is undoubtedly lying.

   But there are two possibilities for him to lie: one is that after his identity was exposed, he knew that he had no way out, and took revenge for that night when he raised a knife and massacred the leader of the Zhennan Palace, that is, Governor Luo. There is also a possibility that it was used by others and became a sharp knife for some forces to deal with Governor Luo.

  No matter what the reason is, one thing is clear: she wants to rescue Governor Luo and keep the Governor's Mansion.

  She raised her eyes, stared into the man's dark eyes, and said, "My father would definitely not do this."

   Wei Han nodded slightly: "I think so too."

  Luo Sheng tightened his grip on the teacup, and asked softly, "Your Majesty...do you have any indication?"

   It is a taboo to inquire about the emperor's happiness and anger.

   Fortunately, the person sitting opposite her was King Kaiyang.

  This man who noticed that she shot and killed King Pingnan without showing his face, this man who saw that she wanted to cause trouble for the prince and raised his bow to help him, at this moment, made her choose to trust without a doubt.

   Wei Han took a look at Luo Sheng, felt unbearable, but still told what he knew: "The emperor didn't see the governor, but ordered the three judicial departments to cooperate with the investigation of the case."

  Luo Sheng's expression became more serious, and he unconsciously clenched his teacup tightly.

   Governor Luo was originally a confidant of the emperor, but the emperor didn't even see him after being accused. Does this mean that the emperor has an attitude towards those who are involved in the Zhennan Palace?

   Perhaps the trust in Governor Luo has long since cracked...

   Wei Han looked at her silently, seeing her frowning tightened, he couldn't help raising his hand.

  The girl suddenly looked over with cold eyes.

  The raised hand quietly lowered.

  Although he wanted to soothe the worries between her eyebrows for her, but at this moment, he was suspected of taking advantage of others.

  He didn't like this feeling, and Miss Luo wouldn't like it either.

  Wei Han was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I have some people in the south, and I sent the news yesterday to order them to investigate the matter. There should be news about the guard in a few days."

   He didn't want to say anything about the things that hadn't been settled, but seeing her like this, he couldn't help changing his mind.

   "Thank you, my lord, for your help."

   Wei Han slightly bent his lips: "You don't need to thank me, I want to watch Miss Luo's restaurant keep opening."

  He is used to walking on Qingxing Street every day, walking past the fluttering blue wine front, looking at the familiar figure who often sits at the counter of the wine shop, drinking and eating.

  Before he knew it, it had become a part of his life, and it was hard to let go.

   "Then I will take my leave first."

  It was only in the morning, and there was a restaurant that was closed at noon.

   "My lord, wait a moment."

   "Miss Luo, is there anything else?"

   "Red beans—" Luo Sheng called out.

  Hongdou turned around and entered the back, and ran out with a food box after a while.

   Wei Han's eyes turned from the food box to Luo Sheng's face, showing some doubts.

   "Xiu Gu made some food, my lord can take it home to eat."

  The pair of quiet eyes suddenly lit up, as if the moonlight was falling into the lake, illuminating the pool of water.

  The corner of his mouth couldn't help but slightly raised, hiding a smile: "Is it for me to take away?"

   "En." Luo Sheng responded.

   King Kaiyang helped her so much, she has nothing to repay for the time being, and sending some food is not worth mentioning.

  Why does the other party seem to have taken advantage of it?

   Wei Han reached out to take the food box, suppressing the corners of Fei Yang's lips with a serious expression: "Then I'll accept it."

  Watching the scarlet figure walk out of the gate of the restaurant, Luo Sheng got up and went to the back kitchen.

  In the back kitchen, Xiuyue was in a daze when she saw Luo Sheng coming in and suddenly regained her senses.

   "Girl—"

  Luo Sheng walked over, his tone still calm: "Are you worried?"

  Xiuyue nodded involuntarily, and said in a low voice: "There are no eggs under the cover of the nest. The maid is afraid that if something happens to Governor Luo, you and the young master will get into trouble—"

  Luo Sheng raised his hand, and lightly patted Xiuyue on the shoulder: "Don't think too much about things that haven't come to fruition yet, cheer up and cook a few special dishes. I'm going to visit someone."

   When lunch was approaching, Luo Sheng left the restaurant with a black lacquered food box, and went straight to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

   "Want to see our Master Shangshu?" Listening to Luo Sheng's clarification, the gatekeeper seemed to have heard a big joke, "Go away, little girl, don't blame me if you continue to mess around!"

  Suddenly a little girl came running to see Mr. Shang Shu, and they thought Mr. Shang Shu was the Chinese cabbage sold on the street, so it was worthless?

   "I'm here to deliver food to Zhao Shangshu."

   "Meal delivery?" The yamen servant glanced at the food box in Luo Sheng's hand and hesitated.

  He has heard that Lord Shangshu is delicious, but no one has ever come to the Shangshu Mansion to deliver food to Lord Shangshu.

   "Are you from Shangshufu?"

  At this moment, a young voice came: "Miss Luo?"

Good morning.
