"Xin'er is sleeping in her room. Go and wake her up; it's time to eat."
"Then I'll go call Xin'er."
After Luo Li came out of the kitchen with the chocolate, Luo Yang suddenly asked, "Mother, you don't look well. What happened? Is it because of Father?"
Is it that obvious?
Xiao Yunying touched her face.
Luo Yang thought to himself: It's not just that his complexion is bad; his red eyes clearly show that he has been crying.
You should know that Xiao Yunying is not someone who sheds tears easily now.
Xiao Yunying turned around and continued chopping vegetables: "It has nothing to do with Luo Sheng. Today when we went into the city, we encountered some villains who wanted to kidnap Xin'er. Fortunately, we found out in time and those people were caught. They were thugs that Liu Ge paid money to hire. Your little sister was quite frightened. You should spend more time with her later."
Luo Chen and Luo Yang exchanged glances; neither of them believed things could be so simple.
Xiao Yunying finished chopping the vegetables: "There's hot water in the kettle, go wash up, and we'll be able to eat in a little while."
During the meal, Xiao Yunying served food to Luo Xin as usual.
Perhaps because she was back home and surrounded by familiar people, Luo Xin relaxed a lot.
Before going to sleep, Xiao Yunying quietly eavesdropped outside Zheng Yunwan's door for a long time.
There was no sound from inside the room, so I assumed she was fast asleep before returning to my own room.
The first thing Xiao Yunying did after getting up the next morning was to go outside Zheng Yunwan's room to listen to what was happening inside.
"Still not awake? Is this tranquilizer working so well?"
She used a little too much force and pushed the door open a crack.
I peeked through the crack in the door and saw that there was no one on the bed.
She pushed open the door, confirmed that no one was inside, and immediately felt flustered.
When she came out, she saw Luo Sheng standing in the courtyard and said to her, "That girl went out early this morning."
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Xiao Yunying walked anxiously toward the gate, and as soon as she opened it, she saw Zheng Yunwan walking back.
"Yun Wan, where have you been?"
"Sister Yunying, don't worry, I just slept too much and woke up early this morning. I went out for a walk to clear my head."
Xiao Yunying pulled her into the house: "It's still quite cold in the mornings at this time of year. Look how cold your hands are."
Zheng Yunwan could tell from her expression that she was overthinking things: "Sister Yunying, don't worry, I'm not that fragile. I've taken your advice to heart, and I will live well."
"That's good, that's good."
Xiao Yunying patted her hand: "I'll make breakfast. What would you like to eat?"
"I want to eat the egg pancakes that Sister Yunying made a few days ago."
"That's easy, I'll go make it for you right away."
"I'll go help."
Xiao Yunying thought it would be good to have her do something to distract her, so that she wouldn't easily overthink things if she stayed alone, so she agreed.
After finishing her meal and seeing the children off in their carriages, Xiao Yunying didn't dare to go out and stayed at home.
With nothing to do, Zheng Yunwan took the initiative to ask her for the silk and cotton fabric she had bought the day before, wanting to do some embroidery.
Xiao Yunying moved all the fabrics to her room: "Do whatever you want with them, don't be reluctant."
"I only need to make a few small garments."
Xiao Yunying cut out a few pieces of fabric for her and asked, "Why did you buy only light green ones? I thought you would like pink ones."
Luo Xin, who was playing with building blocks nearby, said, "Sister Yunwan said that Mother likes this color."
Indeed, most of her clothes were predominantly turquoise or blue, with none in shades of pink or red, at most used as accent colors.
Xiao Yunying smiled and said, "Why did you choose my color instead of your own when you're making your own clothes?"
Zheng Yunwan said somewhat embarrassedly, "I don't have a particular favorite color, and I can't use all this fabric myself. Why don't we choose the color that Sister Yunying likes, and we can share the fabric?"
Xiao Yunying said, "If you are good at embroidery, you can make some clothes yourself. I will pick out some fabrics of other colors for you later. You are still young, and you will look good in brightly colored clothes."
"Need not……"
"Okay, it's settled then."
Xiao Yunying asked her what kind of clothes she wanted to make, and after hearing them, she felt they were too ordinary.
She took a pen and ink and drew several different styles of underwear on the paper.
"Take a look at these styles. This one is a separate bustier, and this one can cinch the waist. They should both look better than regular tops. Do you want to make some and try them out?"
Zheng Yunwan blushed and said, "These two are fine, but this one... wouldn't it be too..."
Xiao Yunying was used to this kind of underwear and didn't feel anything was wrong: "I'm wearing this kind of bra that only binds the chest, and I feel fine with it. If you're not used to it, you can wear these two styles, they're pretty good too."
"Then I'll give it a try..."
Xiao Yunying told her some details and heard someone knocking on the gate.
"You keep doing this, I'm going out to see who's here."
When she went out, Luo Sheng was already standing in the courtyard. Xiao Yunying opened the gate, and Wan Jun, with a simple and honest smile, stood outside.
"Wan Jun, what brings you here? But your master has sent you to deliver something to me again."
Wan Jun wasn't good at controlling his expressions, and he rubbed his hands together awkwardly.
“Miss, I’ve come to seek refuge with my master. I went back to fetch my mother a while ago, so I’m only arriving now.”
Wei Xun told me on the way here that he had discovered that this girl was his master's nominal wife.
This shocked Wan Jun, who didn't know how to face the girl.
Because they all knew how this "mistress" came to be, but this girl had genuinely helped their master.
Xiao Yunying didn't understand why Wan Jun, who had come to her house to seek refuge with his master, was doing so.
Are you passing through my house and need to stay the night?
As she asked the question, she looked behind him.
When Xiao Yunying saw a familiar face helping a woman in her forties get off the bus, she was a little confused.
Isn't that Wei Xun, the secret guard of the Luo family?
How did he end up with Wan Jun? And how did they even know each other?
Luo Sheng said yesterday that his subordinates should arrive today.
Wan Jun also said that he had come to seek refuge with his master...
Xiao Yunying turned to look at Luo Sheng standing behind her, and an idea flashed through her mind.
"Are you the person I met before who was poisoned and blinded?!"
Unlike Xiao Yunying, Luo Sheng was not shocked and calmly replied, "It's me."
He could tell from Wan Jun's expression that his guess was correct.
Even he himself couldn't believe that such a coincidence could exist, but he couldn't deny that it was just that coincidental.
Xiao Yunying muttered to herself, "What a tragic fate this is."
