    It's snowing, can't go anywhere.

    Li Mingjin only punched in the room for a while in the morning.

    The snow outside is getting bigger and bigger. There is a thick layer on the ground. When there is no more snow, you have to shovel snow. This snow is difficult to shovel.

    Bored in the afternoon, Li Mingjin threw two sweet potatoes into the brazier and sat and chatted with Luo Shuyu.

    After Luo Shuyu knocked a handful of pumpkin seeds, he suddenly sat upright and told Li Mingjin of his doubts: "His Royal Highness, what is the identity of Mr. Chen?"

    Li Mingjin turned the sweet potato in the brazier with a small iron rod. He suddenly wanted to give Luo Shuyu a taste of the roasted sweet potato he made: "Huh? Why do you suddenly ask about this."

    Luo Shuyu: "Because I felt a little strange. First of all, he suddenly came to the door and went to yours. Then I felt that his surname was Chen. I doubted that he might have something to do with my grandfather. I don't know if I thought about it. "

    Li Mingjin was taken aback by his suspicion. It was indeed a bit strange, but Chen Rong's identity was indeed verified and there was no major problem.

    What's wrong with Chen Rong? Is he really related to the Chen family?

    Li Mingjin: "It's okay if you think so, but the Chen family where Chen Rong is located doesn't seem to have much to do with your mother's Chen family?"

    Luo Shuyu: "Would you like to call Chen Rong over and ask? Anyway, I am idle now as well."

    Li Mingjin: "Ask, I don't want people around me to have an unknown identity."

    The two of them were activists, and they immediately sent someone to bring Chen Rong, who had been shrinking on the kang and reading a book, over.

    As soon as he walked in, Chen Rong complained to them: "It's snowing so much, tell me to come and eat roasted sweet potatoes?"

    That's right, at this time Li Mingjin personally baked sweet potatoes out of the oven. She was peeling Luo Shuyu's scorched coat, and her fingers were stained black. Luo Shuyu actually said that the browned and delicious part should not be peeled off.

    Chen Rong thought to himself, this royal couple is very lifelike.

    Li Mingjin pointed to the small basket set aside: "If you want to eat, you can bake it yourself."

    Chen Rong didn't really want to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so he sat down and drank the fine tea from Li Mingjin's place, which were all good things transported from the capital. It would be a pity if he didn't enjoy it.

    Luo Shuyu asked him: "Mr. Chen, I heard from Doctor Lin that you were not very comfortable the last two days. Are you better now?"

    Chen Rong said: "My brother made a fuss, nothing happened, just coughed."

    After Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu shared a sweet potato, they cleaned their hands and drank tea with Chen Rong.

    The atmosphere is still harmonious, and really don't know how to speak for a while.

    Li Mingjin suddenly said: "Mr. Chen, the Fourth Prince recently went through an old case. This case may be related to the Yan family. I think you will be interested in this old case."

    Chen Rong is still quite interested in the case, and honed people: "What kind of old case is it?"

    In the eyes of others, he is erudite and talented, and many people are willing to ask him to solve any difficulties on weekdays.

    Li Mingjin said while observing Chen Rong’s reaction: “Fifteen years ago, when General Wei was still in Gucheng, there was a big case of grain embezzlement. This case was a sensation, I think you should have heard of it, and this case There are many officials involved, and even the servants of the household department are involved."

    Luo Shuyu didn't say a word, but he observed carefully. When the case was mentioned, the smile on Chen Rong's face was stiff for a moment.

    Chen Rong also observed their expressions, and took a deep breath: "You called me over today to discuss the details of this case with me?"

    Li Mingjin shook her head: "What do you think?"

    Chen Rong: "Your Highness has something to say directly."

    Li Mingjin: "Well, I know you are a refreshing person. I did investigate your identity when you entered my door. There is no problem with your identity. The past is very simple, but the simple past is not enough for you. To assist my determination, I want to know if you are hiding it from us."

    Chen Rong smiled relievedly: "It turns out that His Royal Highness has long doubted my identity."

    Yes, Li Mingjin doubted it, but he never confirmed it. This time he jumped out of an old case and he figured it out at once, otherwise he would not agree to call Chen Rong right away when Luo Shuyu mentioned it. He still wanted to follow Chen Rong got the correct answer.

    Li Mingjin: "I don't want to learn from others the reason why you came into my door."

    What a clever man Chen Rong is. He looked at Luo Shuyu, but this time he didn't call out respectfully: "What about you?"

    Luo Shuyu said: "My Highness and I have the same idea."

    Chen Rong picked up his teacup and took a sip: "Yes, I have a relationship with the Chen family, and it's very close."

    Luo Shuyuguan Chen Rong's expression began to decline, and there was a hunch that what Chen Rong would say next might not be as easy as he imagined.

    If the Chen family returned home unharmed, then why would Chen Rong live in another home named Chen? Also count as another kind of incognito.

    Luo Shuyu tried his best to calm himself: "It's a very close relationship, who are you from the Chen family?"

    Chen Rong said: "If you think about seniority, I am your cousin."

    Luo Shuyu did not expect to recognize relatives so quickly.

    Li Mingjin: "You said yes? How do you prove that you are the Chen family."

    Chen Rong said: "You wait for me for a while, I will ask someone to go back and get something. I thought about confessing my identity with you, but I haven't found a chance."

    He asked the close servants to go back and get things.

    While waiting, Chen Rong told them some details about the "Gucheng Liangshe Case".

    Chen Rong: "The Gucheng Liangshang case is actually far from as simple as we thought. There are many details in it. Before my father left, he left me a note with a detailed explanation of the Gucheng Liangshang case. In fact, my father and other convicted officials were framed by others. In fact, the whereabouts of the grains are still unknown. If someone used that batch of silvers, it must be related to this case. I went to Beijing to investigate the matter secretly. But all the evidence has long been covered up, but I have also found a few people and found some evidence related to the Yan family. Four years ago, I was almost discovered during the investigation process before I went into your door."

    Li Mingjin raised her eyebrows and said, "Hide quietly in my house?"

    Chen Rong said frankly: "In the beginning, it did have this meaning. At the time, it seemed that the Three Princes' Mansion was not worthy of attention, and it was very suitable for me to inquire about some things secretly. However, I did not expect that His Majesty would give you marriages. Later, Changed my mind."

    "You already knew my relationship with you, but you didn't say it." Luo Shuyu was a little angry, but he didn't know what he was angry at.

    A grief flashed in Chen Rong's eyes: "I can't say that my grandfather was killed when he returned to his hometown. I also survived by stealing. Only the dead will not leak secrets or try to reverse the case."

    Luo Shuyu's hand trembled slightly: "What did you say? My grandfather was killed on the way home?"

    Chen Rong recalled: "Yes, my father and mother, all the family was killed except me. I was hidden in the grass by my grandfather and father, and then I was rescued by a couple passing by by coincidence. On the way, my son caught me from the wind and cold, so he raised me as a parent. Therefore, no one knows my true origin. You can doubt me because of Chen's surname today. In fact, I am still happy."

    Luo Shuyu's eyes were red: "I don't know. I thought that after my mother died, my grandfather wouldn't contact me because my father continued."

    Li Mingjin handed the veil to Luo Shuyu: "Is this the truth?"

    Chen Rong: "Yes, I just went to the capital for revenge."

    Li Mingjin frowned and said, "Why is the Chen family destroyed, but no one knows?"

    Chen Rong said: "Some people have been forging signs that our Chen family is still alive. Although it is not perfect, it is enough to be fake. Moreover, our Chen family is a sinner. No one will detect the abnormality of our family. Even if there is an abnormality, they will. It feels normal, just like the three princes. He is farther away from us because of the long journey and the death of his mother."

    Luo Shuyu remembered the letter he found when he first came back: "Before my grandfather left the capital, he left a letter to his mother. When he wrote this letter, did he predict his future?"

    Chen Rong: "Yes, but I didn't expect it to come so suddenly and so quickly."

    Speaking of which, the person who went back to the yard to get things came back. It was a sandalwood box.

    After Chen Rong opened it, he handed one of the jade pendants to Luo Shuyu: "This is our family's ancestral jade pendant. As long as our descendants of the Chen family have one, so do you."

    Luo Shuyu grasped this transparent jade pendant and nodded: "I have it too, it was left to me by my mother."

    Chen Rong: "There is also a notebook and ledger that my grandfather gave me when he hid me. I think that notebook is the reason why our Chen family cannot survive."

    Luo Shuyu wiped away her tears and asked, "Is my mother's departure related to this?"

    Not long after the accident in the Chen family, his mother suddenly died of poisoning.

    Li Mingjin: "Mother-in-law was poisoned by Liu?"

    Luo Shuyu: "To say something disrespectful, in fact, I always felt that my father knew about the poisoning of my mother, and after I learned that Liu was poisoned, he always wanted to save her, and he suddenly supported her afterwards. I seem to have figured out something. It feels a little bit like Liu is a scapegoat. Can we go to the nun's nunnery and ask Liu? Is there anything she hasn't said?"

    Li Mingjin has a dilemma, Liu's has long passed away, and it is impossible for him to survive.

    It is better to use today to tell the facts. After hesitating, Li Mingjin said: "Yu'er, I have not told you something, and I will not hide it from you today."

    Luo Shuyu looked at him in disbelief: "You also have something to hide from me?"

    Li Mingjin: "Sorry, originally I thought it didn't matter if you didn't know it, but today I don't want to hide it from you. It was about Liu's. Your father didn't want to send her to a good nun's house, so he found a death row prisoner to replace him. I lost her and sent her back to the Luo family's hometown. On the way back, I encountered a mountain bandit and lost his life."

    Liu's is dead?

    From Li Mingjin's point of view, it is true that Liu's death does not need to be told to Luo Shuyu, so as not to increase his troubles.

    Luo Shuyu: "I'm not angry with you, but, is the truth about my mother's poisoning..."

    Chen Rong: "Actually, I found some things related to your father. I don't know if it is useful for the truth of my aunt's death."

    Luo Shuyu: "What did you find?"

    Chen Rong: "Luo Renshou actually has contacts with the Yan family. I also discovered by accident that he is very slick and cautious, and it is difficult to get his handle."

    Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu have already begun to accept Chen Rong's new identity.

    In fact, Chen Rong has long been in love with them in Gucheng over the years. Apart from concealing the identity of the only son of the Chen family, he has basically been heartbroken to them in other aspects. Now that the three of them get along more naturally. .

    Li Mingjin: "I haven't noticed this. If he is in contact with the Yan family, doesn't it mean that the mother-in-law's affairs have nothing to do with him?"

    Luo Shuyu's heart is chilling right now. In his previous life, he still had expectations for this father. Now, the more he digs down, the more he can find that he is unfathomable, and there are so many unfamiliar things hidden in him. Luo Renshou was more terrifying than he thought.

    After proving his identity, Chen Rong was relaxed, but it was Luo Shuyu whose face was getting worse now.

    The Luo family and the Chen family are the same thing.

    It's not that Luo Shuyu never thought about Liu's killing his mother, but Luo Renshou instigated him behind his back to kill with a knife.

    Luo Shuyu guessed: "After the Chen family was destroyed, my mother was also brutally murdered. Maybe Liu’s poison would not make my mother fatal, but someone knew about her poisoning, and then secretly killed my mother. Only Luo Renshou knows this."

    Chen Rong: "But you have no evidence."

    Luo Shuyu: "There will be no evidence at all. I now suspect that Liu's brother and the maid left deliberately. They are all direct evidence pointing to Liu's. The messenger behind the scenes escaped completely. No one would think of it. It's him."

    Only Luo Renshou can do this. Everything can only be arranged by him. There is no one else, and there will be no others.

    If he is a member of the Yan family, then he and the Chen family are opposites!

    If Luo Shuyu is not reborn, all this will be covered up.

    Since they came to Gucheng, the Luo family has paid relatively little attention to matters. Now, Luo Renshou must also focus on it!

    Luo Shuyu didn't expect to be pushed to this point step by step. His mother's death was only the beginning, but because he blocked the way of others, he suffered this misfortune.

    Li Mingjin squeezed Luo Shuyu's cold hand: "Don't worry, we send someone to check it out. If the Luo family hooks up with the Yan family, I will not let them go."

    The Yan family's collusion with court officials was deeper than they knew. Fortunately, they discovered Chen Rong's identity in time.

    Chen Rong: "Why not, your Highness, since the fourth princes have already found the Gucheng Liangshang case, let me guide them to find out more."

    Luo Shuyu hurriedly stopped: "No, you can't take risks!"

    It has just been confirmed that he is his own relative, and it may also be the remaining relatives of the Chen family, and he can't watch him take risks.

    Chen Rongqing coughed: "Don't worry, when I finally reunite with my cousin, I will naturally not make fun of my identity. I will send another person to secretly contact the four princes, who is also a victim of this case like me. I want to find out. How many people are related to the Yan family behind this is a breakthrough to defeat the Yan family."

    The Lin family fell quickly because of lack of background, while the Yan family was different. It was too difficult to defeat it without a deadly handle.

    Nowadays, Emperor Tiansheng can still put pressure on it. If Emperor Tiansheng leaves suddenly, the Yan family will definitely send the prince up directly, and it will be difficult for them to make a comeback.

    At this point, Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu are both willing to listen to Chen Rong. In this matter, his plan is longer than them, he is clearer about every detail than them, and his heart for revenge is firmer.

    Chen Rong took his jade pendant back to his yard.

    The sweet potatoes baked on the table were cold, Luo Shuyu broke a small piece and sent it to the mouth: "Your Highness, this sweet potato is not sweet anymore."

    Li Mingjin wiped away his tears: "Then I will bake another one."

    Luo Shuyu nodded: "Okay."

    At night, Luo Shuyu had a nightmare again at night because of his emotional ups and downs during the day.

    For a while, dreamed of Li Mingjin who was covered in blood, another of Luo Renshou who was cutting at him with a knife, and another of his bleeding mother.

    Li Mingjin shook him up: "Yu'er, wake up, you have a nightmare!"

    Luo Shuyu looked at him confusedly: "His Royal Highness, don't die, what should I do if you die?"

    Li Mingjin didn't know what he was dreaming about, so she could only comfort him: "As long as you live, I will live, and I won't die."

    Luo Shuyu slowed down, leaning on his chest, unable to sleep, so he cried and said to him: "His Royal Highness, tell me something about your embarrassment, make me happy."

    Li Mingjin pursed her lips: "I'm not embarrassed."

    Luo Shuyu: "Liar."

    Li Mingjin: "Really not."

    Luo Shuyu: "Liar."

    Li Mingjin: "Does it count if the concubine wears girl clothes for me?"

    Luo Shuyu: "Forget it."

    The two chatted wildly, and only fell asleep when dawn was approaching.

    After crying, Luo Shuyu felt much more stable when he woke up the next day.

    Snow fell outside again, Li Mingjin went to the study, and Luo Shuyu wanted to find him after lunch.

    As soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw the set that was walking by the roof and stopped him: "The set, you come down and ask you something."

    Ansan immediately jumped in front of Luo Shuyu: "I don't know what the master has ordered."

    Luo Shuyu: "You have been with Your Highness for so many years, do you know what embarrassment he has?"

    Ansan asked him cautiously: "Master, can you give a small salary increase for a good talk?"

    Luo Shuyu chuckles: "You can talk about it first."

    Setan recalled: "His Highness was injured last time, not from jumping off a cliff."

    Luo Shuyu: "Huh? When did we get married?"

    Ansan nodded fiercely: "Yes, your Highness was twisted by jumping off the wall when he quietly went to see you at night."

    Luo Shuyu's face was very calm, and he turned and walked towards the study. Li Mingjin happened to open the window and saw Luo Shuyu walking towards this side. He turned the window and jumped down to lead Luo Shuyu.

    Li Mingjin asked him: "Yu'er, do you still eat roasted sweet potatoes today?"

    Luo Shuyu stared down at his feet and didn't speak. Li Mingjin's eyes jumped when he noticed that Ansan was leaving behind on his toes like a thief.

    The author has something to say: The third prince: Daughter-in-law, go with the reality today!

    Luo Shuyu: Oh?

    The third prince: I am a doctor, and you are my patient. You ask me to see the andrology department. During the process, you fell in love with me at first sight and gave me a hug!

    Luo Shuyu: All right. In fact, you are my substitute for Bai Yueguang...

    The third prince: How can you have white moonlight!

    Luo Shuyu: I don't have white moonlight.

    The third prince: No, you can't have white moonlight.

    Luo Shuyu: Okay, then the game is back.
