Xiao Juan originally planned to inquire about the Deng family in Luzhou to see how outsiders commented on the Deng family.

Who would have thought that they had just arrived in Luzhou, and they were being watched.

After Xiao Juan found out, he directly took out the stalker, and only after asking, did he know that the other party was from the Deng family.

The four out-of-towners were already conspicuous, and when they were inquiring about the Deng family, it was impossible for the Deng family not to notice them.

Now that his whereabouts have been exposed, Xiao Lian simply came to visit.

Judging from the results of the current investigation, the position of the Deng family is unclear. Just in case, Xiao Juan asked Luo Pingsha and Ling Hai to stay outside the mansion to respond.

On the way here, Xiao Juan had already briefly introduced the situation of the Deng family to Weiwei.

The Deng family is the second most famous family in the entire Dayan Dynasty after the Wen family. It has a long history and profound background. Almost every generation of emperors will marry the Deng family.

The current Empress Dowager Deng came from the direct line of the Deng family.

And now the head of the entire Deng family is the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Deng, named Deng Yuchuan.

Deng Yuchuan was a military general when he was young. He had been stationed at the border for decades. Later, because of his old age, he was relieved and returned to Luzhou.

The housekeeper led Yu Curly and Xiao Juan into the flower hall and served refreshments in a very respectful manner.

"You two, please wait a moment, I'll inform the master right away."

However, the butler never came back.

Until Yu Curly and Xiao Yan finished drinking the tea in the cups, they still didn't see Deng Yuchuan appear.

Yu curled his lips: "It seems that people don't want to see us."

Xiao Lian stood up: "Let's go."

"Um."

As soon as the two walked to the door, they saw a group of people walking towards this side, and the head of them was Deng Yuchuan.

He was already full of white hair, and he could tell that he was tall when he was young, but now he is old and frail, and his figure is stooped. He leans on a cane in one hand and walks slowly.

A young man supported him, lest he accidentally fall.

Deng Yuchuan's eyes were not very good, he narrowed his eyes and looked for a while before confirming Xiao Lian's identity.

"Where are you going, Your Royal Highness?"

Xiao Lan said calmly: "We have waited for a long time to see no one, thinking that Mr. Deng has something to do, and he has no time to see us, so we plan to visit us another day."

When the young man beside Deng Yuchuan heard this, he was very dissatisfied and explained to his grandfather.

"My grandfather is old and in poor health, and he has just contracted the cold in the past few days.

The doctor did not let him go out, so as not to be caught in the wind.

But he still tried to cheer up to see you.

The speed is a bit slower, and I hope His Royal Highness the Prince will forgive me. "

Deng Yuchuan motioned to the young man to say a few words, and then introduced to Xiao Juan.

"This child is my youngest grandson. His name is Lu Yun. He is spoiled by his family and has a big temper, but his temperament is very good. I hope His Royal Highness does not have the same knowledge as this child."

He is one child at a time, if Xiao Yan really wants to care about the other party, he will inevitably appear too petty.

Xiao Fan said in a low voice, "It's okay."

Deng Luyun helped his grandfather into the house and asked him to sit down in the main seat, patiently throughout the process.

It can be seen that this kid is really filial to his grandfather.

Deng Yuchuan noticed that the tea on the table was gone, and immediately asked someone to change new tea for Xiao Juan and Yu Curly.

Xiao Lian: "Don't bother, we just came here to ask something, and we'll leave after we've asked, so we won't waste too much time."

Deng Yuchuan spoke very well: "Just ask your Royal Highness, I will definitely answer."

Xiao Lian turned his head to look at the curl.

Curly took out the drawing paper from his sleeve, unfolded it and stood it up so that Deng Yuchuan could clearly see the appearance of the woman in the painting.

"I wonder if Mr. Deng knows the person in the painting?"

Deng Yuchuan narrowed his eyes and stared at the young woman in the painting for a long time.

There was no change in his expression, and it was impossible to tell whether he knew him or not.

"I don't know where you got the portrait from?"

Facing his rhetorical question, Yu Huaiu immediately had a positive answer in his heart.

She kept her face calm and responded calmly.

"I drew it myself."

Deng Yuchuan seemed a little surprised.

He stared at Yu curling for a while: "Princess Princess looks very young, how could she have seen the person in the painting?"

Yu Weiwei: "It seems that the old man should know the person in the painting."

Deng Yuchuan neither admitted nor denied it.

He retracted his gaze and said indifferently, "There is no need to mention the past. If His Royal Highness and Princess Princess are here today for the people in the painting, please forgive me for not being able to receive them."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup in his hand.

This is what it means to serve tea to guests.

Unwilling to give up, Yu curling up took a step forward with the portrait and said.

"The name of the person in the painting is Li Niang, she was killed three months ago, and her bones are placed in the Justice Department.

If you know her, please tell us about her.

Only in this way can we find out the truth, arrest the murderer, and give her justice! "

Deng Yuchuan's hand holding the tea cup shook slightly, and the tea almost overflowed.

But he soon regained his composure, his face expressionless and authentic.

"see a visitor out!"

Without waiting for Yu Curly to say anything else, Deng Luyun started chasing people.

"I have never seen the woman in the painting. She has nothing to do with our Deng family. Princess Princess, please don't make it difficult for us. Butler, see off the guest!"

The housekeeper immediately walked in and made a gesture of invitation to Yu Curly and Xiao Yan.

"Two distinguished guests, please come this way."

Yu curling took a last look at Deng Yuchuan, and seeing that he ignored her, even if she was unwilling, she could only leave with Xiao Lian.

After walking out of the gate of Deng's house, Yu curling immediately said to Xiao Lian.

"Master Deng must know Li Niang!"

Although Mr. Deng refused to admit it, it could be seen from his reaction that there must be some connection between him and Li Niang.

Xiao Lian reassured: "Don't worry, we'll think of a way."

Luo Pingsha and Ling Hai, who had been waiting outside, walked over quickly.

They were relieved to see that Prince Lang and Princess Princess were safe and sound.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Juan and his party went to a nearby restaurant to discuss things while eating.

Yu Weiwei was very unwilling in her heart.

"Mr. Deng knows Li Niang clearly, but he still pretends not to know him. He must have a ghost in his heart!"

Luo Pingsha: "But he doesn't want to admit it, and we can't do anything about him."

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snakes. Luzhou is the territory of the Deng family, and they have great influence here. Even if Xiao Juan is the king of Langjun, he cannot directly touch Deng Yuchuan until he is completely sure.

Xiao Yan clipped a piece of braised deer tendon to curl, and said in a low voice.

"Let's eat first, and wait until the evening. I'll go to the Deng family to see if I can find the family tree of the Deng family."

If Li Niang was from the Deng family, she would definitely leave her name on the family tree.

Yu curling eyes lit up, this is a good way!
