It was customary for the Luo family to have their daughters return home today. Luo Yixiu and her sister came together, completely unaware of the previous incident. Qing Jie'er was still playing nicely with Bao Ge'er. Luo Yiyu had been acting suicidal ever since Liu Jing threatened to divorce her, and even Luo Yining couldn't stir her emotions. The eldest sister also returned today. She gave Bao Ge'er a gold lock and a small gold nude in the shape of a peanut, strung with a red string. Yining tied it around his ankle.

Yu Ge'er was indifferent to Luo Yining. Even if Luo Yining spoke to him softly, he didn't respond much.

"I don't know how he developed this kind of temper. He won't talk to anyone unless he's familiar with them." Luo Yihui couldn't understand why her son was so precocious.

The little boy Yuger stood behind his mother and looked at the yard with restrained eyes.

Luo Yining accompanied her elder sister to drink tea, and did not deliberately talk to Yu Ge'er. But just as she picked up the teacup, she heard a lively voice repeatedly calling for "Sister". Her eyes blurred and she did not react. Someone immediately threw himself into her arms: "Sister!"

Luo Yining almost lost her grip on the cup of hot water! She quickly pulled him away. He was dark and thin, just like a wild monkey in the mountains. He kept rubbing against her.

It took Luo Yining a moment to recognize Wei Ting, whom he hadn't seen for two years. Following him were the old nanny and guards, and the old nanny was panting from chasing them.

She quickly put down her teacup, hugged Wei Ting in her arms, and asked him in surprise, "Why are you here? Let me see you, you've grown quite a bit taller!"

Wei Ting said with a smile: "I just came back yesterday. I thought I could see you today, but you didn't come back. So I ran to see you." He had been away from Beijing for two years and missed his relatives very much. He didn't care about anything else and hugged Yining's neck tightly.

Bao Ge'er, who was being held by Luo Yihui, looked confused: "......?"

No one paid any attention to him. Everyone's eyes were on the young master, and then he started crying.

Luo Yining didn't understand Bao Ge'er's territorial mentality. If someone wanted to hold him, he would happily let them hold him. But if Yining wanted to hold another child, he would cry and scream. It was really a headache... Luo Yining had no choice but to take the tear-stained baby and said to Wei Ting, "Your little nephew is Bao Ge'er."

Wei Ting's eyes became a little scrutinizing when his sister suddenly had a baby. He couldn't say he was happy, not to mention that he didn't like the little kid who was crying with a red face and kicking his legs.

Luo Yining realized that he had grown up a little, and when he pursed his lips, he actually had a third of Wei Ling's majesty.

She asked the nurse to watch over her and carefully asked Wei Ting to hold Bao Ge'er. Wei Ting pinched the child's arm, and perhaps because he found it soft and playful, he felt a little less disgusted.

Baoger is no longer crying. It doesn’t matter if you hold him, just don’t occupy his mother’s space.

Yining didn't really feel like entertaining guests. Wei Ting was here, and she was the only one at home to keep him company. He told her about his teacher in Tianjin, how he'd learned farming in a military settlement and raised corn. Baoger cried so hard that Wei Ting got annoyed. She simply picked him up, sat him on her neck, and carried him around.

This actually scared Yi Ning. Wei Ting smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, don't worry, I'm very strong!"

Bao Ge'er actually enjoyed this, giggling and showing off his two little front teeth. Naturally, he also liked his uncle very much, becoming his second favorite person after his mother. His cold-faced father had to be ranked behind him, maybe fourth or fifth. But that's another story.

Yi Ning was about to ask the maid to arrange a place for Wei Ling to stay, but she saw that the guards outside Jiashu Hall were standing in a crowd, and the security was much stricter than before. Daoyan was standing at the bottom of the stairs, talking to Luo Shenyuan. Luo Shenyuan's face was solemn. She couldn't hear his voice clearly, but his tone seemed a little stern.

When Yi Ning walked over, the guards naturally stopped her. It was only when Dao Yan took the time to look back and see her that he waved the guards to let her pass.

Luo Shenyuan saw her coming, and his gloomy face softened a lot. He asked her, "Why don't you talk to Ting'er and the others?"

"I noticed that there were suddenly more guards at home, so I came to take a look..." Yining said.

Luo Shenyuan explained to her, "This person was transferred from the Palace Army Guard." He lowered his voice and said, "You should stay at home for the next few days, okay? Ting'er is here, so you can keep him company."

"What happened in the palace?" Luo Yining really wanted to know clearly.

Luo Shenyuan didn't hide the truth from her, "The Emperor had already written the decree deposing the Empress the day before yesterday. When I went there yesterday, it was missing. Later, I investigated and discovered that the Left Commander of the Imperial Guards had disappeared. We can't alert the enemy, and the palace is investigating thoroughly. But stealing even the imperial edict... I'm afraid that's tantamount to treason. So, I'm keeping a very high level of alert."

Depose the Queen? The Emperor actually wants to depose the Queen!

No wonder he has been in such a hurry these past two days and has mobilized so many people.

Luo Yining's face changed as he thought about it: "...Since the Left Commander of the Imperial Guards has stolen the imperial edict, there must be someone more powerful in the palace who has rebelled but kept it secret. Doesn't that mean they are planning a rebellion?"

"Your brain is really sharp now." Luo Shenyuan touched her head and casually praised her. In fact, she was very perceptive about these things. Unfortunately, no matter how perceptive she was, she was still a woman and needed him to rely on her for protection.

"I may not come back tonight, but Daoyan will be at home. Just listen to him and don't run around." Luo Shenyuan said again.

"Where are you going? What are you doing?" Luo Yining felt that his trip might be dangerous, and his heart tightened a little.

Luo Shenyuan simply said, "I have something urgent to do here, so I'm afraid I won't be back until later."

"Luo Shenyuan!" She couldn't stand his understatement and whispered, "He must be controlling everything behind the scenes, right? ... Isn't that right?" Only because of Lu Jiaxue would Luo Shenyuan call Daoyan back. Only Lu Jiaxue could make people feel this heavy sense of powerlessness.
