Liu Shimei had predicted that it would take no more than three days.
Two days later, Lu Mou brought his men over.
Speaking of which, he was here to investigate a case, but this time, after he came, he sat in the front hall and did not move.
Liu Shimei went to work in the Zhang Medical Hall during the day. Mo’er sent her a message saying that Lu Mou had come. She quickly asked for leave and returned to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence.
Her heart was filled with resentment towards Madam Zhang and her daughter, making it difficult for her to even go to work properly!
After entering the front hall, he bowed. “Greetings, Lord Lu!”
Liu Shimei’s reputation was well-known. Anyone who had seen her appearance would not be able to help but take a few more glances. As expected, it lived up to its reputation!
Lu Mou was an upright person. In his eyes, it seemed that he only cared about reporting the case and did not care about beauty or ugliness. He did not look surprised and said, “Eldest Miss Liu, please wait for Grand Chancellor to return from the court. Lu Mou has something to ask.”
“Thank you for your trouble, Sir.” Liu Shimei replied, then walked to the side and sat down, waiting patiently.
However, the 15-year-old Liu Anhe, the Second Son of the Grand Chancellor’s family, was sitting in the hall. After all, he had the temperament of a youth. In addition, he also knew that this matter was aimed at his mother and sister, so he seemed a little restless. He also looked at Liu Shimei with hatred.
Madam Zhang gave birth to Liu Anhe in the second year after Liu Yan’er. It could be said that Madam Zhang’s stomach was very strong. After Liu Anhe, she gave birth to Liu Fuyun’s third son. She had two sons and a daughter. It was no wonder that she was able to become the heir.
“Lord Lu, I wonder if there is a conclusion to the case?” Liu Anhe and Liu Shimei sat opposite each other and asked Lu Mou, who was sitting at the head of the table.
“Wait for the Grand Chancellor to return to the Residence,” Lu Mou said politely. “I’ll ask for more details. Second Young Master will naturally know what the outcome is. Now, I can’t be sure.”
Liu Anhe was born with delicate features. Most of the boys in the scholarly family studied, and their discipline was different from girls. Other than the astonishingly talented Liu Shimei, the other ladies in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence did not study much. They were all trained in the direction of managing the household.
All the men were not allowed to be taught by their mothers. They were all taught by men and trained in the direction of civil officials so that they could be placed in various corners of the court.
Thus, although Liu Anhe was not as talented as Liu Shimei’s brother, Liu Quan, he was still quite talented. In terms of poetry and etiquette, he had learned quite well from Liu Fuyun.
Hearing Lu Mou’s words, he did not say anything and looked at Liu Shimei.
Liu Shimei raised her eyebrows and looked back at him with a faint smile on her lips.
So far, Liu Anhe had not participated in the brainless actions of Madam Zhang and her daughter, so she did not need to make things difficult for him.
However, Liu Anhe slightly averted his eyes and did not meet her gaze.
Not long after, Liu Fuyun returned.
Since the Emperor already knew about his family’s matters and received news that Lu Mou had come to visit, the Emperor naturally would not keep him and say anything more. He let him go after the morning court session.
Liu Fuyun’s face had been gloomy for the past few days. With such a thing happening at home, the reputation of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence plummeted. It would be strange if he was in a good mood!
“Grand Chancellor, this lowly official greets you!”
Lu Mou’s etiquette was on point, but he went straight to the point. “This lowly official has already checked all the traces of the theft at the Grand Chancellor’s Residence’s Leihua Courtyard. After two to three days of questioning, after returning, I found some clues after much consideration. Because it involves the relatives of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence, please be present! Sorry for disturbing you!”
Liu Fuyun’s face was ashen. He glanced at Liu Shimei, then turned to Lu Mou and said, “Such a thing happened in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence and even alarmed the Emperor. While Lord Lu had been working hard these few days, I have also gone through some deliberation.. After a few inquiries, there is now a result!”
