She recalled being criticized by everyone for a small mistake, but no one listened to her explanation; she recalled the indifferent onlookers when she was struggling in difficult situations.
The light quickly dimmed, and his eyes returned to their usual calm.
He put his expressionless "mask" back on his face, as if the emotional fluctuations just now were nothing but an illusion.
Even so, a faint sense of anticipation still grew deep within her heart.
Perhaps this mysterious and abrupt voice can truly act as a key, unlocking the mysteries that have long troubled her and allowing her to know the truth behind everything.
She had pondered countless times in the dead of night why she was always ostracized by others; these questions were like heavy shackles, binding her soul.
Years of repression and disappointment have made her afraid to have too much hope.
After all, she had spent so many years in silence and forbearance, and she had long been used to burying her hopes deep in her heart.
Even if this mysterious voice reveals the whole truth, will Father really believe it?
Will he, like before, turn a blind eye to his own pain and choose to believe in those superficial illusions?
This doubt weighed heavily on her heart like a stone, causing her newly ignited hope to flicker uncertainly amidst hesitation and trepidation.
Her gaze unconsciously fell on the ground, as if she could find a sliver of solace in the cold stone slabs, but all she saw was endless darkness.
Qin Qianluo asked in surprise, "Yunbao, what did Madam Luo do?"
The space was filled with a soft, hazy light. Feng Qingyun stood in front of the light screen, her whole body enveloped in this gentle glow.
She stretched out her small, lotus-root-like arms, and with a light wave of her chubby little hands, a faint halo of light bloomed from her palms, echoing the light screen.
The light screen instantly became clear and bright, with what appeared to be shimmering light.
Immediately afterwards, her soft, sweet voice rang out like a clear, bell-like tinkling, "Luo Bao, don't be fooled by this Madam Luo!"
She usually looks gentle and harmless, with a perfectly timed smile always on her lips.
She speaks very softly and is polite to everyone, but in reality, she's a black-hearted hypocrite.
She's full of malice and scheming; she's no saint! Luo Yuning's current miserable state is all thanks to this Madam Luo!
She paused slightly, her chest heaving with excitement, her cheeks puffed out in anger.
A hint of undisguised disdain flashed in his round eyes, as if he were looking at a disgusting clown.
She stretched out her index finger and pointed forcefully in the air, as if to vent all her dissatisfaction through this action.
She continued, "This Madam Luo comes from the long-established noble Wen family. In the past, the Wen family was incredibly powerful and influential."
The Wen family's businesses are spread all over the country, from the bustling capital to remote counties.
Many members of the Wen family held important positions in the imperial court, or controlled the appointment and removal of officials in the Ministry of Personnel.
Or he might be in charge of the nation's finances in the Ministry of Revenue, where guests would come and go, all of them high-ranking officials and nobles, making his residence a bustling and lively place.
But later, they were blinded by greed and joined the former Minister of Personnel in rebellion.
This is a heinous crime that could implicate nine generations of one's family; once it comes to light, there will be no redemption.
As a result, the entire Wen family was exiled. The men were sent to harsh, cold places to do hard labor, while the women were sold into prostitution or enslaved.
The former glory collapsed completely; all that past honor and wealth vanished like fleeting smoke.
Feng Qingyun smacked her lips, her face full of emotion, and shook her little head like a rattle drum.
Her eyes still held a hint of regret for the rise and fall of the Wen family. "Madam Luo had already married Luo Qi'an at that time."
Thanks to the power of the Luo family and this marriage, she managed to escape unscathed and was not implicated, and is still living peacefully as Mrs. Luo.
Don't underestimate her; someone who escaped such a massive family upheaval likely harbors many more untold secrets and methods!
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Qin Qianluo's eyes for a moment, her gaze like a light suddenly shining in the dark night, instantly seeing through everything around her.
She subconsciously widened her eyes slightly, her clear eyes filled with a sense of inquiry, subtly observing Madam Luo, who seemed to still be bowing her head in sorrow.
Madam Luo's shoulders trembled slightly, her hands were clasped in front of her, and her fingers nervously clutched the hem of her clothes, her fingertips turning slightly white from the force, as if she were immersed in great grief.
But Qin Qianluo keenly noticed that beneath that trembling exterior, a barely perceptible hint of panic flashed in Madam Luo's eyes.
The panic was like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, fleeting but not escaping Qin Qianluo's eyes.
Qin Qianluo narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze filled with scrutiny and inquiry, as the various rumors about the Luo family over the years flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.
From the rise and fall of the Luo family in the imperial court to the various hidden conflicts within the family.
Then, every detail of Luo Yuning's face, which always carried a faint sadness, clearly appeared in her mind.
A moment later, she parted her red lips slightly and slowly spoke, "The daughter of the Wen family? Such a thing is truly unexpected."
No wonder Lord Luo almost got implicated back then; it turns out it was because of Madam Luo's connection. But…”
She paused slightly, her gaze sharpening as she stared intently at Madam Luo, her eyes seeming to pierce through her very soul. 'What exactly did she do to Luo Yuning?'
This question was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples and instantly making the atmosphere in the room more tense and oppressive.
