Luo hated her two eldest sons simply because they were raised too properly by the old lady. They were upright, loyal, brave, and cold-blooded, without any cleverness or tact.
It can be said to be almost exactly the same as the old lady.
The child she gave birth to after ten months of hardship and pregnancy does not look like her, but instead looks like the old lady's son. Who wouldn't be angry?
Moreover, they were sent back shortly after they were born, and they were not close to her at all!
Luo Shi didn't want to see Jiang Yuanchen from the bottom of her heart.
However, the latter had already stuck his head out of the door frame, took a peek like a puppy, and seeing that only A Niang and A Mei were there, he suddenly jumped out mischievously.
"Wow!" Like a child, he wanted to scare them and make fun of them.
Seeing this, Luo turned away with even more disgust and disdain.
She didn't want to admit that this kind of fool was her own child.
Jiang Yilin didn't show her disdain, but she wasn't very enthusiastic either. Instead, she took a step back timidly.
Only Madam Jiang stepped forward with a smile, "Second Young Master, why aren't you playing with the Luban locks in the yard? What do you want to see Madam about?"
Children's actions are only cute when done by children.
Jiang Yuanchen is nineteen years old, tall and straight with long legs, but he makes himself look like a child, which makes him look stupid and out of place.
Luo shielded Jiang Yilin behind her, then turned around and glared at him impatiently, "Go away! Don't scare your sister with this!"
"Mother..." Jiang Yuanchen was at a loss for what to do after being yelled at.
He raised his hand, which contained a lady's fan and a box of scented powder.
He wanted to go forward, but after taking two steps, he noticed that Luo Shi's expression was not good, so he stopped silently and handed the things out. "The fan is for my sister. The powder is for my mother. No, don't be in a bad mood."
Jiang Yuanchen's tongue was a little thick, but he still tried to express himself, "Arguing is not good!"
At that time in the afternoon, the old lady was scolding someone in the flower hall. Although she intended to let the servants take Jiang Yuanchen away, he could already feel the tense atmosphere when he left.
Intellectual regression will affect a person's thinking and behavior, but will not reduce his perception too much.
On the contrary, children are often more sensitive to emotions.
So after he asked the servants and learned that Mrs. Luo and the old lady were unhappy again, he bought these two things to make Mrs. Luo and Jiang Yilin happy.
It's just that he was walking too fast and accidentally fell, so there was some dirt on both the fan and the powder box.
He held it there for a long while, but neither Luo nor Jiang Yilin took it.
Nanny Jiang once again stepped forward as a representative, "Second Young Master, give it to this old servant. I will deliver it to the Madam and the First Young Miss on your behalf.
"The Second Young Master is so filial, Madam is happy, and Miss Di is also happy to have such a brother."
"Really?" Jiang Yuanchen tried hard to look back, but he didn't realize that Nanny Jiang was lying with her eyes open!
Nanny Jiang accepted the item, her smile still lingering. "Of course it's true, but Madam and Miss Di didn't take a nap today, so they're a little tired now. Second Young Master, please go back first. When they're not tired anymore, we can ask you to come play, okay?"
As she spoke, Nanny Jiang sighed inwardly.
In fact, the second young master is not that annoying. As long as you treat him like a child, he can be very obedient.
However, the lady had long harbored hatred and prejudice in her heart, so when she saw her 19-year-old son, who was tall and strong but mentally retarded, it was as if she had been transported back to the hard and bitter days at the border, and the sarcasm and contempt the old lady had felt in her earlier years.
Ultimately, it's a mental illness and inferiority complex.
"Oh, hush..." Jiang Yuanchen immediately raised a finger to his lips and nodded vigorously, "Yuanchen understands, my sister needs to sleep, and mother also needs to rest, Yuanchen won't make any noise!"
After a while, he happily left the hall and went to play shuttlecock with the maid.
Luo looked at the fan and powder on the table with disgust, "Where did this garbage come from? Did you pick it up from that garbage dump?"
Jiang Yuanchen did this kind of thing many times after he became stupid.
Sometimes she would pick up snacks and pastries left over by others. Luo always felt embarrassed and upset when she thought about it.
Nanny Jiang shook her head. "It looks quite new, so it shouldn't be, right?"
Luo took Jiang Yilin's hand affectionately and said, "No matter if it's old or new, just throw it away. Our sister Lin doesn't need such dirty things of unknown origin. If someone sees it, they will think that our Duke's Mansion has fallen so far that it can't even afford a new fan."
Nanny Jiang, "Then this box of perfume..."
"Throw them all away."
Luo's eyes never left Jiang Yilin. She was satisfied with every detail of her daughter, but her son was like a filthy thing from a toilet. She said with disgust, "I'm afraid I'll be infected with stupidity."
Aunt Jiang, “…”
Even though she had a lot of opinions about the Duke's Mansion, as a mother, wasn't it a bit too much to say this about her own son?
Luo Shi, of course, didn't notice at all. She reached out and smoothed the slightly wrinkled hem of Jiang Yilin's skirt. "It's spring now, and it's time for our Sister Lin to make some spring clothes. Madam Jiang, please ask the female manager of Jinxiu Pavilion to come over and make some for Lang'er as well."
"We also need to order all-season clothing for Sister Lin's wedding, etc. If we rush the work, it won't be exquisite enough."
Nanny Jiang stood by and could clearly feel the love that Luo had for Sister Lin.
I couldn't help but curl the corners of my lips strangely.
To prevent Mrs. Luo from noticing, she quickly took the fan and perfume powder, walked out quickly and threw them into the dustpan of the sweeping woman.
The cleaning lady had seen these two things in Jiang Yuanchen's hands before. After Nanny Jiang left, she picked them up and patted them with a sigh, "Oh, what a sin."
Yin Rui, who was folding flowers, happened to hear these words. With a flash of her eyes, she came over to the cleaning lady and said, "Mother Wu, what are you talking about to yourself? What's that in your hand? It looks so delicate!"
She came over suddenly and scared Mother Wu.
He turned around and recognized that it was someone from the old lady's courtyard. His expression paused and he glanced awkwardly in the direction of the flower hall.
Yin Rui was even more confused. "What's your reaction? Reply."
Aunt Wu pursed her lips and quickly pulled Yinrui to the corner.
"Look, this is a gift that the Second Young Master bought for his wife and first daughter using his monthly allowance that he had saved for a long time. But they accepted it and then threw it away without blinking an eye.
"It is not my old servant who says that what Madam is doing is too unfair to the Second Young Master!"
Yin Rui's eyes widened, her expression suddenly indignant, "I'm so pissed off, isn't this deliberately disgusting?"
She snatched the fan and powder from Wu Ma's hands, not even caring whether she had picked enough flowers, and angrily went to find the old lady.
"Old Madam, you have to take good care of this. Our Second Young Master is so pitiful!"
With a crackling sound, Yin Rui blurted out everything she saw, and she looked like she had eaten gunpowder.
She really couldn't understand why other people's children were sick and their parents were heartbroken and sought medical treatment and medicine, but the Luo family just joined in the criticism and disdain!
If you don’t know, you might think she is the stepmother of the eldest and second sons!
