"What does this have to do with us?" First Madam Luo couldn’t help but scream, "Back then, when you were abducted and taken to Funan, bla yourself for insisting on running around. You didn’t stay well in the residence and insisted on leaving. As for what happened to you in the military, if soone poisoned you, you should go to the governntal office, why talk here?"
"Why are you so anxious?" Luo Linhao said nonchalantly, "If it had nothing to do with you, why would I ntion it here?"
"Don’t think I don’t know what you did back then." Luo Linhao sneered, "For to be taken out of the Capital City, your first branch of the family played a significant role. What, forgotten? But even if you forgot, you’ll rember when it reaches the governntal office."
Saying this, he clapped his hands, and soone went out from the residence. Shortly after, Luo Linhao’s personal guard ca in with governntal officials, led by Constable Lu, who had now been promoted to Minor Prefect Lu of the Capital Prefecture Governntal Office, assisting the governor in managing cases in the Capital City and its outskirts.
Seeing the governntal office personnel arrive, Old Master Luo’s already grim face turned ashen.
"Child, really... is it worth calling the governntal officials over such a minor issue? Can’t we resolve things behind closed doors?"
"Minor issue?" Luo Linhao looked over, lips curling mockingly, "A matter of life and death is a minor issue here? Do you not know the cris of attempting to murder a decorated soldier?"
"State Duke of Defense, Marquis Wu’an!" Minor Prefect Lu cupped his hands, "I have received reports and ca to arrest the suspects."
"You ca right on ti!" Luo Linhao stood up, "I, Lord Earl, accuse Old Master Luo and First Madam, as well as Second Old Master and Second Madam, of plotting to murder ."
"Nonsense, when did our second branch of the family ever harm you?" Second Madam Luo exclaid anxiously, "When you were abducted, it was the old woman and her good daughter-in-law and her family’s niece-in-law who were at fault, what does that have to do with us? At most, I’m guilty of not saving you, knowing of your abduction but not rescuing you."
"You wicked woman, what nonsense are you spouting!" First Madam Luo was eager to tear her face apart.
"Nonsense?" Second Madam Luo sneered, "You tricked Linhao out of the residence, then knocked him unconscious and handed him over to the old Luo woman’s niece-in-law. Her niece-in-law was from the Li Family, which was confiscated. Though implicated, she didn’t die and is now confined in a temple. If you don’t believe it, bring her out and ask, and you’ll know. Linhao was taken out of the Capital City without anyone in the residence noticing because of your arrangents." (This Li Family is from the eye-gouging case).
"Even the later news that spread in the Capital City about Linhao’s disappearance and supposed death, those rumors were spread on your orders." Second Madam Luo sneered, "Don’t think I don’t know about that either. The nanny who died with the old woman and the nanny originally by my husband’s side were twin sisters, so tell , what evil deeds of the old hag do I not know about?"
After finishing, she looked steadily at Linhao, "What I said is all true. You can have it investigated. Even if we didn’t help you back then, it’s not any serious cri. If you want to punish the first branch, we’re not stopping you, but don’t think of dragging our second branch down with it."
What Second Madam Luo said differed sowhat from what Linhao had uncovered. He found that it was Second Madam Luo who handed him to the Li Family, but Second Madam Luo claid it was the old woman’s niece-in-law who did it.
"Whether it’s true or not, the governntal office will find out."
Minor Prefect Lu quickly nodded, "I will have that Madam Lin brought in." Old Madam Luo’s maiden family na was Lin.
