Luo Chengzhang recalled how Old Lady Luo had been like this in the past, giving the good things to Yi Ning first, leaving the other granddaughters with less. He also recalled how Luo Yilian had been frail since childhood, and how she had always been well-behaved and polite in front of Old Lady Luo and him. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"I know all about my sisters. It's not that I don't feel sorry for Lianjie'er. If I really say it, Lianjie'er is the one I raised, so I love her more. But Yining is the legitimate daughter and has been without a mother since childhood. It's natural for the old lady to love her more..."
Luo Chengzhang's tone changed, and he said firmly: "But what happened to Xuan'er really surprised me. If something like this happens again in the future, I will not let him off easily."
Aunt Qiao just lowered her head and sobbed, biting her red lips. After crying for a long time, Luo Chengzhang softened his tone and comforted her a few words. Then he called the servant and went to Lin Hairu.
After Luo Chengzhang left, Luo Yilian was called by the maid to Aunt Qiao's place. Seeing her mother staring at the heavy rain in a daze, she said with some worry: "Mother, don't be sad. It's all my fault."
Aunt Qiao looked at the heavy rain outside the lattice and sighed, "Lian Jie'er, do you know what mother is worried about?"
Yi Lian lowered her voice slightly, "Aren't you worried about... Father? Actually, Father is just like that. He'll ignore you for two days when he thinks of you. But soon he'll think you're better and come back."
Aunt Qiao shook her head and sneered, "Do you think I don't know what's going on? How long can he get along with Lin? He won't be able to stand her in a few days. I'm afraid the old lady will let Lin take care of Xuan-ge'er. Your brother is still young. If Lin takes care of him, he will definitely not be close to us in the future. Without your brother as a support, we will be unstable sooner or later."
"But didn't you say that my wife couldn't read or write, and my father wouldn't let her support my brother?"
Aunt Qiao sighed slowly, touched her daughter's frail shoulders and said, "How can you possibly guess what the old lady is thinking? I just hope she'll…" Aunt Qiao coughed and didn't continue. "Mother doesn't explain it clearly. The old lady is very vigilant and is wholeheartedly thinking about her legitimate granddaughter. How could she care less about a bastard like you?"
Luo Yilian also felt a little aggrieved: "Grandma has always been partial. If we talk about other things, how is Luo Yining like me?"
"Mother loves you, too." Aunt Qiao's tone turned cold. "Yi Yu and Yi Xiu knew that the beads were made of top-quality tourmaline as soon as they touched them. How could you have such a good thing? No wonder you can't tell the difference! Once I say this, your father will be speechless. Just wait and see. In the future, mother will give you things a thousand times, ten thousand times better. Just be better than Yining in front of your father, and he will naturally favor you."
Luo Yilian nodded and sat down to rub Aunt Qiao's shoulders.
Aunt Qiao closed her eyes and said, "If you don't fight for it, no one will find these for you, my dear sister. Your brother is still young, but if he grows up, no one can take away our support. Even if Luo Yining has the old lady's support, how many years can she hold on? After all, her eldest sister who is married is from the outside family and can't control the affairs of the Luo family. She doesn't have a brother, so sooner or later she will fail."
After hearing this, Luo Yilian responded obediently: "I know. I will take good care of my brother."
Only then did Aunt Qiao relax a little.
Fortunately, she had a son, which no one could take away. Lin Hairu could only watch helplessly, because her belly was not doing well.
