Xu Shengwen boldly stepped forward and said, "Lord, the one who's not holding the child is my wife, the second daughter of the He family. The other one..."
Luo Shenyuan looked at him with a powerful gaze, but said nothing.
Xu Shengwen suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back: "The other one, I heard her say..."
The shop owner only then remembered and quickly continued, "I heard that person is from a noble family! He asked for anklets for seven or eight children at once. What a generous person!"
Xu Shengwen remembered that his wife had a handkerchief friend from a Duke's Mansion, so he wiped the sweat off his face and nodded: "Yes, yes, it seems that she is a lady from a Duke's Mansion!"
He felt that after he finished speaking, Luo Ge Lao's expression became even more silent. He even gripped the armrest with such force that veins bulged, and his pressure didn't lessen in the slightest. After a long time, Luo Ge Lao stood up and said, "Master Song, I have something to do today, so I have to leave. Let's meet again another day."
Lord Song had no choice but to smile and see Luo Shenyuan off.
It was already getting late at this time.
The sedan bearers lowered the sedan chair skillfully, bent over and waited.
Luo Shenyuan indifferently entered the sedan chair, and it started to move. Shortly after he left, someone hurriedly caught up with him and called out, "Lord! Lord Luo!"
The sedan slowly stopped, and Luo Shenyuan parted the curtain and asked, "Have you found out?"
He immediately called an attendant to go to the Duke of England's mansion.
The attendant walked up to him and only spoke when he was close enough: "Sir, that carriage belongs to the Duke of Ying."
"I asked someone to go and see. The person who got out of the carriage..." The attendant hesitated for a moment. "It seems to be our Third Madam. Judging from her stature, she is holding a baby in her arms. I can't tell her age, but maybe a few months old..."
Luo Shenyuan's emotions fluctuated wildly. He closed his eyes and asked, "—Can you be sure?"
"Although he just got off the carriage and went in. But it should be it." The servant said again.
Luo Shenyuan let him go and remained silent for a while.
She looked so similar to her, and she was seen in and out of the Duke of England's mansion. Who else could it be but her? She really had returned.
But what about the child? Was she holding it for someone else? It was possible. As for the other possibility... he didn't even dare to think about it.
Now that Yi Ning was back, why didn't she come to see him? Instead, she returned to the Duke of Ying's mansion. Could it be that she fell in love with Lu Jiaxue, even having a child with him, and that's why she didn't want to return to him? Although Lu Jiaxue was most likely killed by him at the border.
She actually came back like this. If they hadn't met by chance today, would she have kept him in the dark?
Luo Shenyuan had long since suppressed his thirst for her, to the point of being extremely repressed. She had returned and hadn't come to see him. Fine, she wouldn't come. He would just go and snatch her away himself. She was his wife, so she belonged to him. Even if she had a child with someone else, she was still his wife.
"Go to the Duke of England's mansion." Luo Shenyuan said, his tone still calm.
The attendant was stunned. Luo Shenyuan said, "Go to the Duke of Ying's mansion and bring back the Third Madam." He spoke in a low and slow voice, "Since the Third Madam has returned to the capital, it's time for her to go home."
The attendant responded and immediately asked the bearers to lift the sedan chair.

In fact, Luo Yining was also in shock when she just came back. When she came out with Miss He Er, she unexpectedly saw Luo Shenyuan's sedan chair parked on the street. She was a little confused at the time. She had just returned but did not go to find him. She didn't know what to say. What if she bumped into him on the street? After getting on the carriage, she immediately urged the carriage to go faster. She vaguely felt that someone seemed to be chasing her, but the carriage had already run away. After returning to the Duke of Yingguo's mansion, Mrs. Wei was waiting for her to have dinner and asked her: "Why do you look like you are being chased by a ghost?"
Yining said it was nothing and sat down to have dinner.
Old Mrs. Wei fed Bao Ge'er egg custard. He had only licked a few spoonfuls of egg custard today and had stopped drinking milk. Yi Ning coaxed him to sleep and put him in his crib, where he curled up into a ball to sleep.
Old Madam Wei asked her to come out and warm herself by the fire, chatting with Madam Xu about family matters. Madam Xu was quite entertaining, and she and Old Madam Wei ate melon seeds and chatted about family gossip. Yining grabbed a handful of melon seeds and sat down between them. Madam Xu suggested roasting sweet potatoes, and said with envy, "When I was a child, I ate roasted sweet potatoes once in a farm in the countryside, and I haven't eaten them since."
Yi Ning said, "It's nothing, you can eat it if you want." Then she asked the kitchen to bring a basket of sweet potatoes and roast them for Xu. Xu looked at her with a warmer look, and Old Lady Wei was also interested. The three women of different ages gathered together and busied themselves roasting the sweet potatoes.
Just as the sweet potatoes were being roasted in the oven, a maid came in through the curtains and announced, "Madam, Mr. Luo... the son-in-law is here! He said he's here to take the young lady home. He's waiting in the hall."
Luo Yining looked up in surprise, his heart tightening. He had indeed seen her just now!
He actually came in person!
Old Mrs. Wei snorted, "He sent his own daughter-in-law back to Baoding because she was sick, and he didn't even know she was back in Beijing. Now that he's finally here, it's not too late. Yining, I'll go with you to meet him."
"Grandma...this..." Yining saw the old lady holding her hand and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Why did she feel that she couldn't go this time?
He is waiting in the flower hall now, maybe drinking tea with a calm look on his face. Should she go to see him immediately?
Xu said quickly: "Old lady, wait!"
Mrs. Wei didn't know what she was going to do, and Yining was just breathing a sigh of relief when Madam Xu came up and said, "It's been a while since we last met. Although Yining is naturally beautiful, do you think you should dress her up? I see she's been taking care of the children lately and hasn't paid much attention to her clothes."
Mrs. Wei agreed deeply and nodded, saying, "You have a point. It's better to lose the battle than the people."
