A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times Chapter 229 – 229 Investigation

229 Investigation

He took the letter to the Ning family to look for Ning Yue. “Yueyue, I’ve found out.”

When Ning Yue heard this, she hurriedly asked Madam He to take the two children away first. Then, she brought Jiang Ying out of the house.

“What did you find? Where are the ten men in black from?” Ning Yue asked.

“They’re from the Great Yun Nation. They’re from a place called the Cold Mountain Temple. This temple is in Luzhou. It’s not easy to go over now,” Jiang Ying said.

Luzhou? Hearing this name, Ning Yue frowned deeply. Luzhou was her biological mother’s family.

At the moment, Liu Xuan’s father, Liu He, had already passed away. Other than Liu He, Ning Yue also had an uncle called Liu Shan. She wondered how that uncle was doing now.

Liu Xuan’s mother was the only one left in his house.

She wondered how the Liu family was doing over there. What Ning Yue cared about the most was her adoptive mother, Madam He.

When Jiang Ying’s men investigated Luzhou, the clues were cut off. He did not know if there was a connection. At the thought of this, Ning Yue sighed heavily.

“Yueyue, do you want to go to Luzhou?” Jiang Ying asked.

“We definitely have to go, but not now. Jiang Ying, I’ll have to trouble you to continue investigating the situation in Luzhou,” Ning Yue said.

“My investigation in Luzhou has never stopped,” Jiang Ying said.

At first, he investigated Luzhou because of Ning Yue. After further investigation, he realized that Luzhou was also very chaotic.

However, as Luzhou was not Jiang Huan’s fief, it was more difficult to investigate.

Luzhou was rich. The emperor would not give it to any king as a fief. He was the heir of Prince Jin. The only place he could stay was Prince Jin’s fief. If he wanted to go to the capital, he had to be summoned by the emperor or the crown prince.

Therefore, he could not go to Luzhou himself and could only send guards over.

However, no matter how powerful the guards were, it would more or less be difficult for them to investigate someone else’s territory. Therefore, it was already very good that they could find out about the Cold Mountain Temple.

Due to the problem of territory, he could not report the matter to the emperor or the crown prince. Even if there was evidence, the emperor and the crown prince would think that he had interfered in the emperor’s territory.

Ning Yue also knew his difficulties and did not make things difficult for Jiang Ying. “Jiang Ying, don’t tell anyone about this. I suspect that this matter has something to do with the Liu family.”

If there was a mastermind behind the Liu family’s incident back then, then Liu Xuan was not safe now. It was very likely that these men in black were not only here for Ning Chen, but also for Liu Xuan.

Ning Yue suddenly felt melancholic. She felt as if there was a huge net that made her almost unable to breathe.

Luzhou, Luzhou…

She had to go to this place!

Other than Jiang Ying and Ning Yue, the others treated the assassination tonight as a small interlude that passed.

Unexpectedly, a month later, Ning Yue heard a term in town—an otherworldly demoness.

They were definitely talking about her!

Didn’t she transmigrate from the modern era?

If it was a demon or a demon from another world, she would think that it was also possible for Yuan Hui. However, this was a demoness, and it directly pointed out her gender.

But who would say that?

Could it be that there were really old grannies who could connect with the divine in this world? They held crystal balls and helped others with their past and present lives?

However, if there really was such a person, the entire world should know her true identity.

Then who could have said it?

Just as Ning Yue was puzzled, Yuan Hui arrived. His expression was also very bad.

“I got someone to investigate. The word demoness came from the Cold Mountain Temple,” Yuan Hui said.

Cold Mountain Temple? Ning Yue’s eyes widened. It was Cold Mountain Temple again! Not only did Cold Mountain Temple not get along with the Liu family, but they also did not get along with the Ning family.

“Why? What’s with your gaze?” Yuan Hui asked.

Call it shock but her expression seemed to say that she already knew about Cold Mountain Temple.

If she wasn’t shocked, her eyes widened again.

“I’ve been investigating some things recently and have also found out about the Cold Mountain Temple. I don’t think I offended the Cold Mountain Temple. Why are they saying such things?” Ning Yue said in confusion.

Before Yuan Hui could answer, Ning Yue asked him again, “Uncle Yuan, how did you find out about Cold Mountain Temple?”
