How could Xie Yun not be jealous when she discovered this? She was jealous to the point of going crazy. In her entire life, she had never felt this jealous, except when she was with Luo Shenyuan. After all, she was smart. She took the painting and asked the old nanny who used to serve Cheng Lang. The old nanny's eyes were already blurry. After looking at it for a quarter of an hour, she said roughly, "It looks familiar, familiar. It actually resembles the old Madam Lu Si. She was Young Master Lang's aunt, who died many years ago."
Xie Yun, like a man possessed, took the painting and questioned many people. Only one or two could answer, and their answers were all the same.
After she knew this, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She was so cold that she couldn't feel where she was.
How ironic! When she liked Luo Shenyuan, she looked down on him. Now that she likes him, she finds out that this man has such ulterior motives and dirty thoughts in his heart!
Now she suddenly couldn't hold on any longer, and Xie Yun also wanted revenge. Why did he make her such a mess? She wanted revenge on him too!
Xie Yun then took a breath, sneered, and slowly said behind his back, "Cheng Lang, you're so anxious—is it because you can't get the person in the painting? When she was alive, she was your aunt. Now you've grown up, and she's dead."
Cheng Lang stopped and then he really turned around.
Xie Yun had never seen such a ferocious expression on his face before she could react. Cheng Lang had already grabbed her neck and pressed her against the wall. His voice was cold and stiff: "——What are you talking about? Are you asking nonsense questions?"
Xie Yun couldn't breathe, her face flushed red. She said with difficulty: "You are afraid that people will know - you are simply -"
Cheng Lang pinched so hard that Xie Yun almost felt that he was going to strangle her to death!
So when Cheng Lang finally let her go, she collapsed to the ground, struggling to move. She covered her throat and coughed non-stop, almost vomiting.
Cheng Lang pulled her up with one hand and asked with a sneer, "Do you feel disgusted?"
Her eyes were unfocused, and Cheng Lang whispered in her ear, "Yes, I do love her. She's the only one I'll ever love in my life, even if she dies. And you, you're nothing. Do you understand?"
"Beast... beast..." Xie Yun was so exhausted from dry heaving that she struggled against his grasp. The maidservant outside didn't dare come in. Xie Yun was crying and her nose was running. She was in so much pain that she was going crazy. From her heart to her body, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Through her tearful eyes, she saw the man slowly stand up. He still straightened his sleeves nonchalantly and said lightly, "I'll call the maid to come in and serve you."
He walked to the door, turned his back to her and said, "Put away your behavior. If you still want to go on, just pretend this never happened. I will still treat you well, and in front of outsiders, you will still be the favored Fourth Grandmother."
Xie Yun couldn't believe that Cheng Lang, who was always gentle, would say such a thing.
All his usual behavior towards her was fake and false. He acted like this with everyone else, just playing games and flirting with women.
He is such a terrible person!
Xie Yun cried for a long time. She realized that Cheng Lang was right. She didn't dare tell anyone about this matter. As Cheng Lang said, she needed to be proud. Being abandoned and neglected by her husband - she could never bear this evaluation in her life.
So when the nanny came in, she had stopped crying. She asked the nanny to help her get up and wash up. She couldn't show her fear, at least not in front of these people, not in front of Grandma Cheng and Grandma Cheng. She had to continue the performance.

Luo Yining received an apology from Xiao Zhou in the evening.
Luo Shanyuan forced her over to apologize. Xiao Zhou forced a smile and carefully apologized, but Luo Yining noticed the slap mark on her cheek. Even makeup couldn't cover it up.
To be honest, Luo Yining didn't really have much sympathy. She and Little Zhou had a mediocre relationship. After returning, Little Zhou was the one who looked the most uncomfortable at her. Speaking of which, Big Zhou was actually smarter than Little Zhou.
Luo Yining refused to accept it, and Xiao Zhou was almost crying in frustration.
Finally, she observed his expression and let Zhenzhu take some of the food. She could clearly see Luo Shanyuan heaving a sigh of relief.
In the evening, they had their reunion dinner in the main room. The Luo family decorated the house with many lanterns, making it very lively. Children were running around, and the Zhous, Chen, Lin Hairu, and the concubines standing by to serve were all chatting together. The house was very lively.
Luo Shenyuan came in from outside and saw her drinking with Aunt Guo. She seemed to be fine.
He breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried she might still be angry about what happened during the day. He had other things to do, so he went back to Jiashu Hall.
After Yining had the New Year's Eve dinner, he saw that Luo Shenyuan was not there, so he did not stay with Lin Hairu to celebrate the New Year, but went back to find him.
When they arrived at Jiashu Hall, Yining stopped. She stood outside the house and looked at the many orange lanterns hanging in the yard. Each one was only as big as an orange, but many of them were very bright. The whole yard was hung with them, and was filled with warm red light.
Daimao walked up to her with a smile and said softly, "My uncle ordered this to be decorated. Do you think it looks good?"
The corners of Yi Ning's mouth curled up slightly. Back when she was at the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion, she'd always loved decorating the courtyard like this, hanging lots of lanterns, making it lively and lively. Back then, having just been released from the Luo family, she was naturally open-minded. Later, as a young Yi Ning, she'd become lazy and too lazy to do it. It would take a whole bunch of people to do it, and then have to take it down again after it was done. What a hassle.
She walked briskly into the room and saw Luo Shenyuan waiting for her, seemingly reading documents again.
Is it really that good to watch it every day?
She walked up to him and asked, "Third brother, those lanterns you arranged are really beautiful!"
