Yi Ning agreed, and when she saw Old Madam Luo go into the inner room to rest, she wondered if Luo Shenyuan had just left like that?
She got off the bed, put on her shoes, and peeked behind the screen to find Luo Shenyuan still sitting in the armchair drinking tea. She poked her head out, but he continued drinking without looking up. "Yining, I asked you to practice calligraphy before I left. Where's your copybook?"
It turned out that he stayed to check her homework.
She didn't know Luo Shenyuan would come back so early, and she had only practiced less than half of the calligraphy copybook.
Yi Ning thought for a moment, then smiled and asked him, "Third brother, do you want to eat glutinous rice chicken? We have glutinous rice chicken for lunch today. You can stay for lunch."
Luo Shenyuan looked up at her, his tone unchanged: "Go and get the copybook."
Yi Ning internally resented that she was an adult, yet Luo Shenyuan was controlling her like this. She climbed onto the bed, took the calligraphy book from the bedside table, and handed it to Luo Shenyuan. He took it and flipped through the pages, gradually frowning.
Standing before him, Yi Ning could clearly see the wrinkle between his eyebrows, the drooping eyelashes beneath his thick eyebrows, and the beautiful curve from his nose to his chin. He was resolute and handsome. Actually, if we were to talk about appearance, Cheng Lang was probably the most handsome, but Yi Ning had been looking at Luo Shenyuan for a long time and felt that he really had a unique kind of good looks, and the more she looked at him, the more handsome he became.
She didn't know what kind of wife her third brother would find in the future. Yi Ning thought to herself, she didn't seem to remember who Luo Shenyuan's wife was. Of course, she was in the inner chamber after all, so her experience was limited. She didn't know how outstanding someone would have to be to be worthy of her third brother...
"I heard that your father wrongly accused you of breaking a string of tourmalines. You cried for a long time." She suddenly heard Luo Shenyuan's voice.
Yi Ning raised her head and looked at him. Wasn't he out of town? How did he know about this?
Luo Shenyuan paused and continued, "Yining, these are all fine. People who care about you will naturally care about you, and those who don't care will never change no matter what. The calligraphy is not well written, I will write a new one for you tomorrow." He stood up, touched her head, and then walked away.
Yi Ning was stunned by his sudden touch on her head. When she came to her senses, Luo Shenyuan had disappeared.
Actually, Yining wasn't really sad because she'd been wronged. The real heartbreak was in little Yining, and she'd been suppressing it for a long time. Third Brother, however, seemed to be more affectionate towards her than before. He even patted her head.
Aside from Old Lady Luo, Yi Ning hadn't had her head touched by anyone in years. Perhaps it was her wet nurse who had raised her that had treated her so lovingly! Yi Ning felt a pang of regret when she thought of this. After she died, the wet nurse who had raised her also passed away soon after.
While she was thinking about these things, the manager of the small kitchen came to tell her that the Fritillaria and Loquat Soup was ready.
