Luo Chengzhang took a deep breath and said, "Go and bring in... the girl you mentioned."
Luo Shenyuan stood at the door of his father's study. His father's door was tightly closed. Luo Chengzhang had ordered that no one should enter.
The servant who followed him saw that the Third Young Master had clearly left in such a hurry just now, but now that he was at the door, he was looking at it calmly without saying a word, and he was a little confused.
"Third Young Master...you don't want to speak to the master, or I will go and pass it on. The master won't see anyone else, but he definitely wants to see you."
After all, they were still a step too late. Going in now was pointless. Without stopping Aunt Qiao, there was no point in saying anything. Luo Shenyuan said calmly, "No need." He turned and watched the golden crow sink in the distance, his eyes cold. Qiao Yuechan, I'm afraid, can no longer be kept.
But he had no idea what to do with Yining's life experience.
At this moment, a heavy object shattered after falling to the ground in the study room, with a sound that was both angry and urgent. Luo Chengzhang's gloomy voice rang out: "Come in, everyone!"
The servants guarding the door were about to go in, but Luo Shenyuan stopped them and glanced at them indifferently: "You can only enter when I call you."
He stepped inside and bowed to Luo Chengzhang. "Father, I have something to tell you." Luo Chengzhang held onto the edge of the table, his forehead throbbing with anger. Gu Minglan, unaware of this, had an affair with a servant and dared to use this child to trick him! He would definitely kick Luo Yining out and tell everyone that his daughter had died of a sudden illness. Let her fend for herself from now on! Was she worthy of being a legitimate daughter of the Luo family? His Luo family was a family of scholars, and there was no reason for a guard's child to be a daughter!
"If you didn't tell me today, I would have something to deal with." Luo Chengzhang couldn't suppress the resentment in his heart. He still thought that Gu Minglan was deeply in love with him, and that Gu Minglan died of excessive worry because she was jealous of his preference for Aunt Qiao. It turned out that it was all because of her adulterer!
He seemed to see Gu Minglan standing opposite him, with her usual smile on her face, looking at him, as if she was mocking him coldly.
They laughed at him for treating a bastard as his own child and a legitimate daughter.
This whore! He wanted to remove her from the ancestral hall and remove her name from the family tree. She couldn't even rest in peace after death, and wanted to bring shame to him!
"Father is angry about Yi Ning, so I must listen to him," Luo Shenyuan said calmly. "This matter cannot be made public. Lord Sun has already said that he and Lord Gu have jointly submitted a petition for your transfer, and you may be promoted within six months. If this matter is exposed at this time, the rift between the Luo and Gu families will be irreparable. Moreover, if Yi Ning is implicated, then my eldest sister, who is far away in the capital, will also be criticized. My eldest sister's position in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion is now stable, and if this happens, my eldest sister will definitely not be able to stay in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion. Moreover, in two months, I will go to the capital to take the imperial examination. You still plan to let me ask Miss Sun to marry you. What will Lord Sun's family think if they know about this?"
Aunt Qiao couldn't help but clench her handkerchief after hearing this. Luo Shenyuan really deserved to be the Jieyuan of Northern Zhili! His words were brilliant and beautiful, and they hit Luo Chengzhang's sore spot everywhere.
Luo Chengzhang also knew that he shouldn't be angry and that he should take a long-term view. But who could endure such humiliation? Although his son Luo Shenyuan was right, he could not turn a blind eye. He could not tolerate such a thing.
"Even if it can't be spread outside, Luo Yining can no longer be a legitimate lady." Luo Chengzhang said gloomily, "You don't have to say it anymore, but everyone in the second house should know who the legitimate lady is." He looked at the maids serving beside him, "Go call them all over here, I want to make this matter clear!"
Luo Shenyuan said calmly, "Father, Yi Ning is with me. We're all tired from the Cold Clothes Festival ancestral worship today, and there are my maternal family members in the main house. Why don't you talk about it tomorrow?"
Luo Chengzhang looked at his son coldly. He knew Luo Shenyuan had always been protective of his sister, and he was happy to see them get along. But now Luo Yining was no longer his daughter, and he felt only annoyance. "Bring them all here in half an hour. Don't call Madam; she's pregnant and might suffer a miscarriage."
After saying this, Luo Chengzhang turned away.
Aunt Qiao stood up and bowed, saying, "Third Young Master, the master is very angry right now. I'm afraid nothing you say will change that."
Luo Shenyuan didn't say anything, he just silently looked at the direction where Luo Chengzhang left.
The night of the Cold Clothes Festival was particularly chilly. Luo Yining felt that she had been underdressed when she went out. Luo Shenyuan hadn't returned, and she had been waiting for so long. She looked up, wanting Xuezhi to bring her a cloak. Just as she was about to call her, Xuezhi stood outside the door, her face pale.
Luo Yining had never seen this kind of expression on Xuezhi's face. Xuezhi always remained calm and composed.
She waved Xuezhi in and asked her with a smile, "What's wrong? You scared our Xuezhi so much, but you don't want to get married?"
Xuezhi looked at her, a long moment. She was so pretty, with the delicate innocence of a young girl, even a hint of childish naiveté. She remembered what she had just heard, and slowly crouched down, holding Yining's hand. Her hands were so small, even with faint dimples on the back. She felt increasingly uncomfortable watching them, and couldn't help but bury her head in Yining's lap and cry.
Her sister is still so young and weak, how can she withstand the wind and rain?
The cannibalistic Luo family will tear her to pieces for this.
Yi Ning was a little surprised and quickly helped her up to comfort her. Xuezhi was the eldest maid in her room. Anyone could lose their composure, but not her. What on earth had happened?
