When Luo Chengzhang looked up, he saw Luo Yilian kneeling on the ground and crying silently.
After all, she was the daughter he raised, so he immediately asked, "What happened?"
Aunt Qiao explained the whole story, and now she looked at Luo Yining with tears in her eyes: "Although it was Lianjie who injured her foot, it was also because Young Master Gu helped Lianjie without considering the difference between men and women. If you don't ask for an explanation, wouldn't Lianjie have suffered this injustice in vain? How can Lianjie say anything about him in the future? Miss Seven is so partial to Young Master Gu, but have you ever considered that Lianjie is her biological sister?"
Such a scandal actually happened!
Luo Chengzhang found it a little unbelievable that Gu Jingming would actually go to Yi Lian's aid! This really ruined Yi Lian's reputation.
He frowned and said, "Gu Jingming should come over and clarify this matter. A girl's reputation cannot be let go like this, not to mention that it was seen by the servants. Yining, Lianjie'er is your biological sister, you should think about her more."
Luo Yining sneered, "Father, I only sent my cousin from the Gu family to the backyard because I cared about Sixth Sister's reputation." She gestured to Xuezhi, took out a wine jug, and walked over to Luo Yilian to show her, "Do you recognize this wine jug? The patterns on it are freshly made. There are only three of them."
Xuezhi stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I went to the kitchen and asked, and it was borrowed by Sixth Miss's maid a few days ago. She said she was using it to make calming wine."
"This wine is stronger than ordinary wine. Sixth sister had someone send the first room to the cousin from the Gu family. Is that so?" Yi Ning approached Luo Yilian and looked at her quietly.
Luo Yilian raised her head and looked at Yining indifferently.
She found that Luo Yining was showing off her sharp edge today, not hiding it at all! It seemed that she had touched a sore spot!
Aunt Qiao hadn't expected Luo Yining to actually find the wine pot and bring up the matter. She immediately said, "Miss Seventh's words are just empty promises..."
"Words are not enough?" Lin Hairu also laughed. "Then what about Aunt Qiao telling me? Luo Yilian just happened to appear outside the flower hall, and happened to come without a maid? And happened to be seen by someone? She must be plotting against the young master of the Gu family, but unfortunately he doesn't like her at all, so she can't expect any sympathy from him. Instead, she made a fool of herself in front of Madam Gu!"
Yi Lian silently shed tears and whispered, "Seventh sister never treated me as her elder sister. Today, she sided with Master Gu. I understand... but this was definitely not intentional. How could I play with my own reputation? If you really don't believe me... then I have nothing to say!"
Luo Chengzhang had heard enough. He walked over and sat next to Lin Hairu. Seeing his daughter weeping, he sighed slowly, "Lian Jie'er was wrong, but she is a girl after all. It must have been unintentional."
Yi Ning walked up to her father and bowed, saying, "Father, Sixth Sister chose a good day today. If everyone saw this, my cousin from the Gu family would have married her even if he didn't want to. But if this happened, my Luo family girl wouldn't be able to hold her head up high in public! This happened right after, and at this critical moment when you and your uncle are about to be reinstated, if the adults present here heard about it, what would they think of our Luo family?"
With every word Yi Ning spoke, Luo Yilian's face turned paler.
Luo Chengzhang frowned as he listened, finally understanding the key to this. A chill of surprise and suspicion filled his heart. Yi Ning continued slowly, "Sixth Sister will marry into the Gu family, but she'll be a burden to our entire Luo family! I really don't know if Sixth Sister is being unintentional or intentional. With such ruthless intentions, I don't think anyone can surpass her!"
Luo Yilian felt a chill run down her spine when she heard this, and immediately tried to pull Luo Chengzhang's hand: "Daddy, it's not like that—"
Luo Chengzhang waved her hand away, his eyes becoming wary. "Shut up!"
Aunt Qiao immediately knelt down and protected her daughter: "Master, please don't trust Miss Seven's words! Sister Lian really doesn't have such intentions!"
Aunt Qiao was a little anxious. She hadn't expected Luo Yining to be so eloquent! She had made Luo Chengzhang suspicious.
At this time, a maid finally came with Xuan'er. Xuan'er rushed into the main room. Without saying a word, he ran into Aunt Qiao's arms.
Luo Yining wanted to sneer even more when he saw this. Even Brother Xuan was prepared?
Xuan Ge'er hugged Aunt Qiao's neck, turned around and looked at Luo Chengzhang with tears in his eyes, and said stubbornly: "Daddy, my sister is my sister. She is not vicious. She is good to me!"
He looked at Lin Hairu again and said, "She's the one who treats me badly! Every time I come to pay my respects, she treats me badly!"
Lin Hairu didn't like Xuan Ge'er, but he had never targeted him. Hearing this, he stood up and said, "Xuan Ge'er, how have I treated you badly? Don't speak carelessly."
Yining pulled her sleeve, signaling her not to bother Xuan Ge'er.
Lin Hairu didn't even look at Xuan'er. She believed she had always been tolerant of him, so it wouldn't hurt to tolerate him now. She said, "In short, Lianjie'er can't let this matter go. I think we need to ask the maid to come and teach her a lesson. Only a maid witnessed what happened tonight, so we'll tell her not to talk nonsense. We'll explain it to Madam Gu and pretend it never happened."
Aunt Qiao said anxiously, "How can this be possible? Wouldn't it make others look down on Sister Lian?"
Luo Chengzhang waved his hand. Luo Yilian had indeed gone too far. He just wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter. The smaller the noise, the less worried he was about it getting out. Lin Hairu had a point. He said calmly, "Sister Lian, it's time to teach her a lesson. Don't mention this matter again!"
Luo Yilian looked up at her father with some disappointment.
Her father, who always protected her, looked at her with a somewhat cold gaze.
What about her carefully planned scheme? Luo Yining ruined it. Luo Yilian's face was filled with tears, but she held her hands tightly. She should let more people see it, so that Luo Yining would have nowhere to hide. It was just her bad luck!
