Lin Hairu pulled her hand, complaining about her late arrival. She also mentioned that Luo Yilian had lost her jade bracelets and was in a rage. Yi Ning laughed; the bracelets really were lost. She drank a bowl of pigeon soup and looked up to see Luo Shenyuan talking to Luo Chengwen. Someone raised a glass to toast him.
At this time, Lin Yong walked in from outside, his face very ugly. He whispered something in Luo Shenyuan's ear.
Luo Shenyuan's face darkened, and he gave Lin Yong a few words of advice. Lin Yong immediately clasped his fists and left. The atmosphere at Luo Chengwen's table was already changing; no one was talking. Luo Shenyuan then put down his wine glass and walked over to Yining. Yining's side of the table was filled with women, and they blushed at the sight of him, whispering to each other.
Yi Ning simply stood up and walked towards him: "Third brother, what's wrong? You look so ugly."
"Teacher is in trouble and has been imprisoned by the emperor. I need to go there immediately." Luo Shenyuan said, "You stay at home and leave the guards. I will be back soon."
Something happened to Xu Wei! And he was imprisoned! Yi Ning was shocked. How could this be possible? Xu Wei was imprisoned in the third year of Zhide. Now it is only the second year of Zhide.
Back then, Xu Wei was imprisoned and ultimately lost his life because he recommended Jingzhou's general. But now, the Tatars haven't even conquered Jingzhou. What was the reason? If Xu Wei had been imprisoned so early, wouldn't his third brother's fate have been brought forward?
Yi Ning said, "Just go ahead. Don't worry about me. I'll naturally know what to do."
She was very worried about him. Xu Wei was Luo Shenyuan's teacher. If something happened to Xu Wei, he would definitely be affected.
Luo Shenyuan nodded, secretly called the head guard over, and before Yi Ning saw it, he instructed: "When the sedan chair leaves later, you will follow it until it reaches the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion."
He gave these instructions before leaving.
Luo Yining naturally couldn't enjoy the banquet. She asked Qingqu to follow her to see if Zhenzhu was okay. Zhenzhu had been hit by Wang Pozi and felt a little dizzy. She lay in bed and couldn't get up.
Luo Yining asked the little girl to apply a warm towel to Zhenzhu's forehead to make her feel better. Then he asked the little girl next to him, "Is Sixth Miss okay now?"
"It is said that the situation is chaotic. The bracelet has not been found and the two maids are missing." The maid replied.
Yi Ning rubbed her brows and stood up, letting Lin Hairu take care of her while she went to the front hall to entertain guests, as there were not enough female relatives to entertain guests in the front hall.
Maids and old women surrounded her as she walked along the corridor. The sun gradually turned yellow, and it was almost time for Yi Lian to leave the house.
She suddenly saw someone standing not far away, looking at her with his hands behind his back, smiling slightly and saying, "Yining."
It turned out to be Cheng Lang.
Luo Shenyuan just told her that Cheng Lang came here specially.
Cheng Lang walked up to her and looked at the surrounding scenery: "The scenery of Luo Mansion is quite good. It's very beautiful after the first clear day after the snow."
"What's wrong? You didn't drink with them?" Yi Ning asked. Why was Cheng Lang here alone watching the snow? "The last time I saw you and Miss Xie, you were pretty good. You were a good match."
"Yeah." He smiled, then fell silent.
Seeing that there was nothing else to say to him, Yi Ning stopped smiling and said, "If there is nothing else, I'll go to the front hall first."
"I came to see you for something." Cheng Lang said, "Have a cup of tea with me."
Yi Ning had the tea set set up in the pavilion. The fire in the small stove was burning warmly. The kettle was bubbling. This tea needed to be rinsed three or four times to be delicious. While she was rinsing the tea, the scene outside grew increasingly lively. Luo Chengzhang had given Luo Yilian a truly grand ceremony. The sky had darkened, and a faint purple hue lingered on the water.
The maids and servants had all gone to watch the fun, and a few guards were standing outside. Yining asked, "What on earth do you want?" Why were you just reading the post and making tea in silence?
"Are you truly in love with Luo Shenyuan?" Cheng Lang asked. He drank tea like he was drinking wine. Yi Ning felt that he couldn't even taste what his tea tasted like.
Luo Yining didn't know why he brought this up. After a moment of silence, he said, "Alang, he is a very important person to me."
Cheng Lang smiled: "I think you will never think of anyone else in your life."
Luo Yining didn't know what to say, so he put the teapot back on and the water started to boil again.
"Nothing in this world can be explained clearly." Luo Yining said slowly, "Perhaps things you can't imagine can happen at any time. But for me, I prefer a quiet life without any calculations. Actually, you are right. Perhaps in my lifetime..."
"You have to give others a chance." Cheng Lang suddenly said in her ear. "I'm sorry, Yining, there's no such thing as peace or instability."
Before Yi Ning could ask him what he meant, he suddenly slashed her neck with a knife. She opened her eyes wide, still not realizing why. Didn't Cheng Lang help her?
The guards outside remained unmoved, seemingly oblivious to the situation. Not far away, Qingqu was being talked to by another little girl, while Yining fainted in Cheng Lang's arms.
Cheng Lang slowly stroked her hair and whispered, "Go prepare the carriage."
He was the real chess piece, not those two women.
Sorry Yining.
