Lu Yun raised his eyebrows, glanced towards the courtyard, and raised his sleeves.

He squatted in front of the tangled young lady, his sleeves dropped, his hands raised, and he waved his clean, slender, well-proportioned hands in front of Luo Yunhuan. The next moment, he rubbed his thumb and index finger together, and when he snapped his fingers, "bang", a snow-white magnolia flower appeared between his fingers.

The magnolia flowers trembled at his fingertips, and dewdrops fell like jade, so beautiful that they seemed about to fall.

Luo Yunhua was stunned, her eyes sparkling: "Wow! How did you do that? Can you do magic?"

She immediately looked at Lu Sanlang's sleeves, wanting to know where the flower was hidden. Lu Yun did not resist, but lowered his eyes and smiled: "Let's make a deal. I will teach you this trick, but don't tell your sister who I am, okay?"

He lowered his brows and closed his eyes. The fascination in his eyes startled Luo Yunhuan. Luo Yunhuan stared at the flower and then looked up at him. After frowning for a long time, she nodded with determination: "Okay! I won't tell my sister."

Lu Yun laughed softly.

The morning breeze was light and the air was slightly cool. He couldn't wait to know how Luo Lingyu would react after she knew about their entanglement.

…

Although Luo Lingyu fell into the water, she was in good health and was not seriously injured. When she woke up and knew that her sister had gone to settle accounts with Lu Sanlang, Luo Lingyu was very anxious, fearing that Luo Yunhuan would offend that moody man. She climbed out of bed nervously, and just as she was about to change her clothes and go out to look for someone, she saw the young lady in the yard running back with satisfaction.

Seeing her through the window, Luo Yunhuan smiled and said, "I'm going to study now!"

With Luo Yunhuan's instructions, Lingxi also hesitated and did not answer. Nothing could be learned from the two of them. Nothing else happened in the next few days, so Luo Lingyu had to put her doubts aside. After Han's daughter left, Wang's daughter and other girls came to "Xuesuyuan" and talked with Luo Lingyu for half a day.

"Since Madam Lu doesn't like it, why bother to annoy others?"

"Mrs. Lu has spoken out, but how many other people haven't spoken out?"

"If I could leave, I would leave."

In the next few days, the cousins ​​living in Lu's house said goodbye and went home one after another, as if they had discussed it beforehand.

Suddenly, the courtyards that the Lu family had given to the cousins ​​were all empty, leaving only Luo Lingyu. Luo Lingyu took this as an excuse to push them away, hiding in the courtyard and saying that she was sick and needed to be nursed.

She is really ill, but others think she is making excuses.

Luo Lingyu pricked up her ears to inquire about the Lu family's reaction - all the beautiful girls in the family had left, and the only one left was still recovering from illness. No matter how confused the old lady Lu was, she was sensitive enough to notice that something was wrong, so she called the eldest lady of the Lu family over and asked what was going on.

Mrs. Lu was already extremely regretful at this time, and was speechless.

Luo Lingyu curled her lips: My younger sister is a little child and we can ignore her. Now she is the only cousin left in the Lu family.

The author has something to say: Our sister Luo is really scheming and never hurts anyone, but she is really not a good person~~

Chapter 18

Among the cousins ​​who visited the Lu family, Luo Lingyu, who had the worst family background, was still a girl from a poor aristocratic family, while the families of the other cousins ​​were only powerful aristocratic families.

There is a natural barrier between the nobles and the commoners, and the long-term relationship between the nobles needs to be maintained at all times. To maintain this relationship, the most common way is marriage based on family background. A noble does not marry a commoner, and it is not right to marry someone of the same class. Now that the young men of the Lu family have grown up and are of marriageable age, there is also a reason to consider marriage when the cousins ​​come to the Lu family... Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lu is used to being arrogant, and in order to punish Luo Lingyu, she accidentally offended a large group of people.

Mrs. Lu regretted deeply.

Things have come to this point, so we have to do our best to make up for it. Old Madam Lu sighed: "It's all because our family is full of boys and no girls..."

Mrs. Lu's slip of the tongue was not big enough to warrant a gift or a visit to apologize, nor was it small enough to be ignored. In this case, all the girls in the family need to do is go out more and socialize more. The sisters can explain the misunderstanding when they are playing, intentionally or unintentionally, and the misunderstanding will be resolved. The Lu family is dominated by men and weak by women... We can't ask the men to go to the girls and find someone to explain such a small matter, right?

Mrs. Lu said bitterly: "It would be great if my son Qingyi was still with us."

Lu Qingyi is the eldest lady of the Lu family. She had married and moved to Hanzhong a long time ago. Water from afar cannot quench her immediate thirst.

Mrs. Lu thought of her granddaughter whom she had not seen for several years, and her face became even darker. Because she was only asking about Mrs. Lu, other sisters-in-law of the same generation did not come. In the same tent, apart from Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu's first wife, there was only Mrs. Lu's most beloved daughter, Lu Ying, who returned to her mother's home with her son after her husband died.

Seeing them sighing, Lu Ying couldn't help but cough: "Lingyu is still here."

Madam Lu's cloudy eyes lit up and she smiled, "Yes, I almost forgot about Madam Luo."

Luo Lingyu visited him every morning and evening, and in his memory, she was a beautiful lady. But after that night, she used the excuse of recuperating from illness and stopped going out. Perhaps she was also hurt by Mrs. Lu... Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu glared at her disappointing daughter-in-law again.

Mrs. Lu, Zhang Minglan, was annoyed by Lu Ying's talkativeness and deliberately laughed at her. Even if Lu Ying didn't mention it, would she not remember Luo Lingyu? Mrs. Lu glanced at Lu Ying, her tone gentle, but revealing obvious contempt: "Since Madam Luo came to our house, I have never seen you, her dear aunt, take care of her."

"You go out to travel and enjoy the scenery every day, but why don't you remember to take your niece out to meet people?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, your niece will live in our house for a long time. The circle is so small, how can she do that if she doesn't know anyone in Jianye?"

Lu Ying: “…”

She blushed and felt embarrassed when Mrs. Lu mocked her incompetence again. But she immediately said, "How can I and a young lady like Lingyu get along? She can't see the people I see every day. She still has to find girls of the same age to play with... But where can we find girls of the same age in our family? You drove away all the beautiful women, and you are not happy, gentlemen..."

Going back to the beginning, Mrs. Lu's face turned pale.

Old Madam Lu had a headache watching the two of them talking about the same things over and over again. She knocked her cane three times, shocking the two of them into shutting up. She said angrily, "Stop arguing! Can't you come up with a solution? What should we do? You two should discuss it."
