Chapter 3 The Mistress of the Marquis's Mansion
One month later,
On this day, the Duchess of the State made a rare visit to the Marquis's residence.
The Duchess sat opposite Luo Xi and said, "You say you're still young and don't want to get married again. What will you do without a child for protection?"
"My cousin gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, two years ago. Unfortunately, they were not blessed. A month ago, they went out and encountered bandits, and they died."
"Luckily, they didn't bring the twins, otherwise..."
"They are still young and don't recognize anyone yet. Do you want to take care of them?"
Luo Xi paused for a moment.
Raising someone else's child? She has no desire to raise one.
She was afraid she would raise a pair of ungrateful children.
Even if they are sensible and grateful, once they find out that she is not their biological mother, they will definitely feel a distance between them and her.
Besides, she's living a free and easy life now, so she doesn't need to create trouble for herself...
Luo Xi looked up at the Duchess opposite her and said directly, "Duchess, no, I think I'm doing quite well now, and I don't want to raise a child."
When the Duchess saw that Luo Xi refused, she sighed and did not ask Luo Xi why she did not want to raise the child; she respected Luo Xi's decision.
She stood up and said gently, "Alright, I came here today to talk to you about this. Since you don't want to raise it, I'll be leaving now."
Luo Xi stood up and saw the Duchess off...
evening,
Luo Xi had just returned from outside, and she had someone serve her a cup of tea.
After a moment, Zhuzhu walked to Luoxi's side and said, "Madam, the Third Young Master has arrived."
No sooner had she finished speaking than a young man dressed in fine clothes strode in.
Luo Yao walked up to Luo Xi, his face full of anger. "Eldest sister, let me tell you, I overheard Li Anhe (stepmother) telling Father that she wants her spoiled younger brother from her maternal family to marry you, and she even encouraged Father to trick you into going back..."
"Elder sister, if Father asks you to go back, you must never go back!"
“You know who Li Anhe (stepmother) is. She got her position by drugging people.”
His face was full of worry. "What if they have someone drug you or something? There are their people all over the manor. It's impossible to guard against them."
There's no need to go back to that home...
Luo Xi: !!!
There is really no need to go back.
Sigh, can't she just live a quiet life as a widow? Why are so many people eyeing her?
"Okay, I understand. I won't go back."
Luo Yao sat in the chair on the left, took a sip of tea, and said, "I really hope those two get run over by a horse and die, so they won't have to scheme against each other all day long..."
Luo Xi: !!!
Luo Yao is right.
Those two old bastards really deserve to die.
After Luo Yao finished speaking, he hurriedly went to the academy...
The next day,
In a private room on the second floor of the teahouse.
The sleazy-looking Li Wei drank a cup of tea and looked at Li Anhe across from him. "Sister, do you really have a way to get Luo Xi for me?"
Li Anhe smiled and said, "Of course."
"In a couple of days, her father will ask her to come back. When that happens, I'll have someone drug her. You should seize the opportunity to touch her."
"As long as you marry her, all the assets of the Marquis's mansion will be yours."
Li Anhe: "Remember to give me half."
Li Wei patted his chest. "Don't worry, I'll definitely give it to you."
After a while, Li Anhe and Li Wei felt hot all over and very uncomfortable.
Li Anhe quickly realized that they had been drugged.
She was just about to tell Li Wei.
Just then, Li Wei grabbed Li Anhe and threw her to the ground.
Finally, Li Wei and Li Anhe ended up rolling around together...
