A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Chapter 212 - 212 Investigation

212 Investigation

Seeing that Yuan Hui was silent, the Empress Dowager asked again, “Shouldn’t you be in the capital at this time? What are you doing here?”

“You are?” Yuan Hui asked.

When everyone saw the Empress Dowager’s reaction, they were certain that Yuan Hui’s identity was definitely not simple. Otherwise, how could the Empress Dowager know him?

“You’re the emperor of Russia. Shouldn’t you be in the capital at this time? Why did you suddenly come to Laifu Village?” The Empress Dowager smiled, but the alarm in her heart had already been raised.

!!

Ning Yue had originally planned to hide Yuan Hui’s identity and talk about it later. She did not expect to be exposed by the Empress Dowager. Ning Yue rubbed her temples with a headache.

When everyone heard Yuan Hui’s identity, their eyes widened. He was actually the emperor of Russia!

At this moment, Yuan Hui also remembered who the old lady in front of him was. Wasn’t she the Empress Dowager of the Great Yun Nation? Why would she appear in the Ning family?

Yuan Hui had only planned to let Ning Yue know his current identity, but he did not expect the Empress Dowager to expose him.

Wait…

Wasn’t the noble lady beside the Empress Dowager Princess Jin?

Was this family here to join Ning Yue? What kind of joke was this?

Both sides had questions in their hearts. They were both suspecting each other’s intentions of staying in the Ning family.

However, in front of the Ning family, they did not say this question.

“Alright, everyone, stop standing. It’s almost lunchtime. Let’s eat first.” Madam He smiled and mediated.

She could also tell that the atmosphere between the Empress Dowager and Yuan Hui was not right previously, but she could not tell what was wrong.

During the meal, to the Empress Dowager and Yuan Hui’s surprise, the other party did not sit at the head of the table. Old Master Ning was still sitting at the head of the table.

Yuan Hui and the Empress Dowager thought that the other party respected the Ning family very much.

The Empress Dowager was puzzled. If Yuan Hui’s identity had not been exposed by her, then it would not be strange for him to sit anywhere. However, now that it had been exposed, it was a little strange that he was not sitting at the head of the table.

Yuan Hui had the same doubts, but Old Master Ning was uneasy.

He should have given up his seat, but on second thought, it was wrong to give it to the Empress Dowager or Yuan Hui. After thinking about it, he might as well sit on it himself.

The Ning family made a sumptuous lunch. After all, with the Empress Dowager and the Emperor of Russia around, they were afraid of neglecting them.

Lunch ended quickly. Ning Yue asked Madam He to arrange two rooms for Yuan Hui and Baili.

After the two of them rested, Jiang Ying pulled Ning Yue aside. “You didn’t know his identity before. Why are you still letting him stay at home now?”

“Jiang Ying, don’t worry. I know my limits. You don’t have to worry about me. If anything happens, I’ll call you over, okay?”

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Jiang Ying compromised again. It felt damn good to be relied on by Ning Yue.

“By the way, let me tell you something,” Jiang Ying said. “Didn’t you ask me to investigate your mother’s background last time? There’s good news and bad news.”

Ning Yue’s expression changed. She hurriedly pulled Jiang Ying outside. She could not let the Ning family hear this.

There was no special reason. It was because Jiang Ying had said that there was good news and bad news. The good news should be that there was news, and the bad news was that the investigation was broken or there was no result.

Initially, Madam He was filled with joy and wanted to know her background. However, if he suddenly told her that there was no result, she would be so sad.

“Let’s talk outside,” Ning Yue said.

Jiang Ying told Ning Yue that his subordinates had found the population exchange in Luzhou. Ning Yue’s mother had come from here.

“The bad news is that the population exchange has already been emptied. We can’t find any information about the boss and employees in the exchange, but we found the person who brought your mother there back then.”

This was good news among bad news. Ning Yue sighed.

“Where is that person now? What’s his name?” Ning Yue asked.

“This person is in Luzhou now. They call him Uncle Yang,” Jiang Ying replied.

Uncle Yang? Ning Yue frowned. “Is this person’s surname Yang?”

“That’s right. This person’s name is Yang Liu,” Jiang Ying said.
