Luo Lingyue hurriedly opened her mouth to explain: "Third brother! This matter really cannot be blamed on Master Xiao! If we have to blame someone, we can only blame those assassins who suddenly appeared..." As she spoke, she looked at her brother with anxious and earnest eyes, hoping that he could believe what she said.
However, Luo Lingzhang wasn't moved by his sister's words. His eyes were still filled with anger and dissatisfaction. He glared at Luo Lingyue fiercely, then turned away from her. Luo Lingyue's lips trembled slightly, but she didn't say what she wanted to say.
At this time, Luo Lingzhang said coldly: "Girls are really hard to keep when they grow up! Come back with me!" After that, he turned around and walked towards the door, as if he didn't want to stay any longer.
Looking at her brother's back, Luo Lingyue felt a surge of grievance and helplessness. Xiao Jinghan, standing nearby, bowed to Luo Lingzhang and apologized, "Third Young Master Luo, please rest assured. I feel deeply guilty and remorseful for this incident. From now on, I will never ask your sister out again. I hope you can forgive my mistake today." His tone was sincere and resolute, moving everyone.
At that moment, Chang Chou led the Jingji Guards and hurried to the deserted island. He hurried forward, draped a thick cloak over Xiao Jinghan, and said with concern, "The wind on the island is very cold. Prince Xiao must take care of himself. His Majesty has been waiting for you in the palace for a long time and has not slept all night!" His words revealed his concern for Xiao Jinghan's condition.
Luo Lingzhang on the side had an extremely gloomy expression. He glared at Chang Chou and said coldly, "General Chang, my sister is frightened. I must take her home immediately!" After that, he turned and walked towards his own boat.
Chang Chou quickly bowed to Luo Lingzhang, expressing his gratitude: "Thank you very much, Young Master, for your help this time! If it weren't for your help, the consequences would be disastrous."
However, Luo Lingzhang just snorted and responded without any gratitude: "Hmph! I did this entirely to save my sister, it has nothing to do with Master Xiao!" Obviously, he did not appreciate Chang Chou's thanks.
When the Luo family's boat sailed farther and farther away until it disappeared, Chang Chou raised his eyebrows and teased Xiao Jinghan with a smile: "Oh my, Luo Lingzhang is such a sister-doting maniac! Prince Xiao, you haven't even gotten married yet, but you've already successfully angered your future uncle! Hehe, it's really sad!" There was a bit of teasing and gloating in his tone.
Xiao Jinghan's face was so gloomy that it looked like water could drip out of it. He stared at Chang Chou closely, his eyes flashing with anger, and said coldly: "General Chang! Don't you have anything else to do? Do you need me to propose to His Majesty that you go and pacify those bandits?"
Faced with Xiao Jinghan's questioning, Chang Chou was speechless for a moment and could only remain silent.
This is not the way to joke! Chang Chou secretly complained in his heart, but on the surface he hurriedly put on a smile and said flatteringly: "Prince Xiao, please calm down. You are a magnanimous person. Please don't bother with your subordinates. It is indeed windy on this island. Let's get on the boat and leave here quickly!" After saying that, he carefully observed Xiao Jinghan's reaction, for fear that he would anger this moody prince again.
Luo Lingyue sat leisurely on her family's boat. She had already showered and changed into clean clothes. She contentedly slurped the three-fresh noodles Luo Lingzhang had made herself. Although she kept mumbling, a happy smile graced her face. "Third brother! Prince Xiao is very thin-skinned. Please be gentler to him from now on. Don't be so fierce all the time!"
Hearing this, Luo Lingzhang slowly put down the teacup in his hand. His eyes were as cold as ice, and his tone was even colder: "Do you know how frightened Mother and Sister-in-law were because of this incident? Mother even fainted from crying, and Sister-in-law was so worried that she had a miscarriage. Now the house is in chaos, and your Third Sister-in-law and Xiaoliu are busy taking care of them. And you, you actually have the leisure and elegance to speak up for an unrelated outsider and turn around to blame me!"
Luo Lingyue suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She subconsciously reached out and scratched her cheek, stammering as she explained, "I...I was worried about you guys when I was on the deserted island! Besides, nothing happened to me. Look, I'm fine, right? And I know martial arts. Ordinary people can't hurt me at all, so I can naturally protect myself!"
However, Luo Lingzhang only responded to her words with a sneer of contempt: "With your little three-legged cat kung fu, you have the nerve to boast that you can protect yourself? If you really encounter danger, I'm afraid you won't even know how you died!"
Luo Lingyue remained silent, just concentrating on eating noodles in big mouthfuls!
At this moment, Luo Lingzhang suddenly blurted out, "You are a girl from a secluded place, yet you eat noodles so ferociously and make such noises! How disgraceful!"
Before he could finish his words, Luo Lingyue suddenly choked on a mouthful of noodle soup, her throat felt a sharp pain, and she began to cough violently.
Seeing this, Luo Lingzhang not only showed no sympathy, but instead said darkly, "You can choke on just a little bit of noodles! What's the point of talking about self-protection? From now on, you are not allowed to set foot outside the General's Mansion!"
Luo Lingyue's face was full of grievance, and she timidly called out, "Third Brother!"
However, Luo Lingzhang's face darkened and he responded coldly, "Calling me grandpa won't help!"
Luo Lingyue had no choice but to curl her lips secretly and mutter softly: "What a rude and unreasonable man!"
After returning to the general's mansion, Luo Lingyue rushed to where her mother and sister-in-law were to inform them that she had returned safely.
However, as soon as she stepped into the room, she heard Luo Lingfeng's slightly mocking voice: "Mother, I've always said that Xiao Qi is a troublemaker who has been causing trouble for thousands of years. How could he get into trouble so easily?"
Hearing this, Luo Lingyue's face suddenly turned sad. She said to her mother in a grievance, "Mom! Sixth brother bullied me again!"
Before he could finish his words, a delicate embroidered shoe flew towards Luo Lingfeng like lightning, hitting him on the head with unerring accuracy. Terrified, Luo Lingfeng quickly begged for mercy: "Sister-in-law, please calm down! You must be careful of your nephew in your belly!"
Chen Manting glared at Luo Lingfeng sternly and said sternly, "I just like girls, so what? If you dare to call me nephew again, I'll beat you up!"
Faced with his sister-in-law's majesty, Luo Lingfeng could only grin helplessly: "Don't blame me, sister-in-law! I just took your pulse, and the fetuses in your belly are two boys! Hahaha!"
At this moment, Linglong hurried into the room and said to Luo Lingyue with a frown: "Miss, it's not good! The third young master asked you to go to the front hall quickly, saying that he wants you to watch...watch the severe punishment of the servants!" Her tone revealed a hint of worry and helplessness.
