Luo Yilian stood outside the house.

The maids and servants hurried to and fro within the house, but no one paid any attention to them. Luo Chengzhang sat dazed on his bed. Aunt Qiao tried to comfort him, but he paid no attention. He could only hear the hurried sounds from within, his fists clenched tightly.

He knew how much Lin Hairu wanted a child, he knew.

The arrival of a child should have been a source of joy, but now there was only impatience and anxiety. He was filled with guilt. Lin Hairu's action of pushing him away just now had made him realize one thing: Lin Hairu was blaming him.

Yining walked out of the main room. She stood on the steps and looked down at Luo Yilian. The lanterns under the eaves shone quietly on her. She had a calmness and indifference that was not usually there.

"I'm a very easygoing person," Yi Ning said softly, "but if you violate my taboos, I'm afraid you won't be so easy. Luo Yilian, you're a concubine's child. Do you know how miserable a concubine's child will be when treated deliberately by a legitimate child?"

Luo Yilian felt that Yining's gaze was like an ice-cold knife, full of mature indifference, and definitely not like a child's eyes.

She couldn't help but take a step back, her lips moving slightly: "Yining..."

"If something really happens to your mother during this pregnancy," Yi Ning said softly, "your good days in the Luo family will be over."

She walked into the room.

A moment later, Luo Shenyuan arrived with his servant and doctor. He walked straight into the main room with his hands behind his back, his expression almost stern.

When Luo Chengzhang saw his eldest son coming over, his face was so gloomy that it was about to drip with water. He couldn't help but shout: "Shen Yuan..."

Luo Shenyuan ordered the doctor behind him to hurry into the house, but he saw Yi Ning instead. She was standing by the latticed door, gazing into the inner room with her head tilted to the side, revealing her slender neck and calm profile. He had expected her to panic, but she appeared quite calm. Only her slender fingers tugging at her sleeves revealed her inner nervousness.

He knew very well how much Yining liked Lin Hairu.

He had never seen Yi Ning in such a state before. It seemed as if she was already trying to grow up and no longer needed his protection.

"Yining..." he called out softly.

Luo Yining turned around and saw that it was Luo Shenyuan, and he held his hand tighter. But the feeling of nausea and vomiting came back.

Yi Ning suddenly remembered that her stepmother's younger sister in her previous life was very tearful, often crying in her stepmother's arms. This didn't change even after she got married. She tried to persuade her stepmother, saying, "...Yuan Jie'er is a married woman now, so this really isn't right." But her stepmother smiled and said, "She only cries in front of me. She wouldn't cry in front of anyone else. She wouldn't even dare to do that in front of her own husband."

After hearing this, Yining thought silently for a while, smiled and said nothing.

Later on, I thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth. Only in front of someone I completely trusted and relied on could I stop crying because of the grievances in my heart. However, in her previous life, no one had given her a sense of dependence.

Now, she trusted Luo Shenyuan wholeheartedly. Not only because he was the future Prime Minister, but also because he was her third brother, and the blood relationship between them would never change. If blood ties couldn't be trusted, then what else could be trusted?

After all, she wasn't a real child. If she continued to pretend to be one, it would only allow those villains to trample on her and Lin Hairu. How could Yi Ning forget the hardships of her past life? When Luo Shenyuan entered the cabinet and became a prime minister, he would eventually have to confront Lu Jiaxue.

The Luo family will not always be at peace, and she will eventually grow up.

Luo Shenyuan walked over to her. He knew Yi Ning was feeling uneasy. He reached out and took Yi Ning's smaller hand in his, comforting her: "As long as I'm here, mother will be fine."

Luo Shenyuan let go of Yining's hand and then looked at Luo Chengzhang.

Favoring a concubine over one's wife can easily sow the seeds of disaster, not to mention that Aunt Qiao is too clever and Luo Yilian is too ambitious. As a man, he should not interfere in the affairs of the inner house, but now that such a big thing has happened, no one dares to say anything even if he intervenes.

Luo Shenyuan said to Luo Chengzhang, "Father, at this point, I must say something." He paused, "Xuan'er can no longer be raised by Auntie. If he's raised like this for a few more years, he'll be ruined."

Aunt Qiao's eyes turned red when she heard this. She was about to speak, but Luo Shenyuan just looked at her indifferently.

Luo Shenyuan's genuine coldness was actually quite frightening. She opened her mouth and managed to say, "Master, Xuan'er has been raised by my side since he was young... I didn't teach him to say those things... Besides, my wife is pregnant, how can I raise Xuan'er?"

Luo Chengzhang was furious when he heard this. He pointed at Aunt Qiao and said, "Shut up! He's so young, what does he understand? Regardless of whether Hai Ru is pregnant or not, you don't have to raise Xuan Ge'er anymore!"

Luo Yilian was raised by Aunt Qiao, what a person she has become. If Xuan Ge'er continues to be like this, it would be extremely terrifying.

Yi Ning came forward, bowed, and said, "My daughter has an idea. Why not let Concubine Guo raise Xuan'er? Concubine Guo has a gentle personality and can teach Xuan'er well. Xuan'er really went too far today. When he grows up, he will be a bad guy."

Lin Hairu's pregnancy was damaged because of Xuan Ge'er, so she definitely didn't want to see Xuan Ge'er again. Yi Ning herself didn't want to see Xuan Ge'er. Although she disliked him, he was still a boy from the Luo family. After punishing him, she had to find a home for him.

Aunt Guo was a maid who had served Luo Chengzhang since she was a child. She was indeed very gentle, and Luo Chengzhang could rest assured in her.

Aunt Qiao was heartbroken after hearing this. She cried and tugged at Luo Chengzhang's sleeves, "Master! Xuan'er can't live without me! It's all my fault. Just blame me, don't blame my Xuan'er..."
