Chapter 75
Luo Yilian stood beside the rockery for a long time, until the Duke of England and his guards left, then she slowly came to her senses.
But she was sweating all over!
Originally, she hid behind the rockery with the maid because she saw Luo Yining coming, wanting to see what Luo Yining was going to do. Who knew she would hear such a thing.
Hadn't her mother told her that Luo Yining was the daughter of a lowly guard? That she was of humble origin and unworthy of the status of a legitimate daughter?
But just now, the imposing Duke of Ying had clearly said that Luo Yining was his daughter! And his words clearly expressed his hope that she would return with him. It made sense. The Duke of Ying's family had no daughters, yet Zhao Mingzhu was raised so regal. And what's more, she was the Duke of Ying's biological daughter.
Yining is actually the daughter of the Duke of England!
No wonder the British Guild suddenly came to visit, and no wonder my father looked so strange. Looking at the British Guild's eyes, I felt shy but didn't dare to anger him, so I forced a smile.
Luo Yilian's handkerchief was so sweaty that the maids worriedly supported her and said, "Miss, didn't you say we were going to the flower hall..."
"Why go to the flower hall!" Luo Yilian scolded, "Hurry up and go to mother with me, hurry up!"
The phoenix egg landed in their home, yet they treated it this way. Even if it was born of a shady family, so what? Seeing the Duke of England's tough stance, he would definitely sweep this matter under the rug. Bloodline was the most noble, and with the Duke of England's bloodline, Luo Yining's status and position were naturally extraordinary.
It's obvious that the Duke of England is a man who dotes on and protects his daughters. If he knew that his daughters were being bullied like this, would he let them go?
My father obviously knew about this, but since he didn't say anything, I knew he must have reached some agreement with the Duke of England. Luo Yilian closed her eyes, thinking of her uncle's respect for the Duke of England during the meal...
Aunt Qiao was in the room listening to the maid talking about Xuan'er's recent affairs, and was startled by Luo Yilian who suddenly broke in.
"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Aunt Qiao scolded. "If your father sees this, he'll definitely scold you."
Luo Yilian's face looked grim, even pale, and Aunt Qiao's heart sank. Thinking that her daughter was not the reckless type, she asked, "What happened?"
Luo Yilian raised her head and asked, "Mother, do you know why the Duke of England came to visit?"
Aunt Qiao was very confused. She waved her hand and asked the maids on both sides to retreat. Then she said, "I have heard of it, but I don't know what it is about."
"He's here looking for his relatives." Luo Yilian paused, looking at her mother. "Do you know who he's looking for?"
Aunt Qiao had heard from her maid that the Duke of England was looking for a relative, but she didn't know who it was. She had been waiting in the hall for so long but hadn't seen him. Could it be that her daughter knew?
Luo Yilian didn't know what to feel, but it made her feel calmer. She looked at her mother, paused slightly, and then said, "The biological daughter he's looking for is Luo Yining. Luo Yining...isn't some traitorous guard, but the daughter of the Duke of Ying."
Aunt Qiao almost knocked the cup over, but luckily she was quick enough to catch it. She looked at her daughter for a long time, then suddenly stood up, her whole body shivering.
Yes... How could she not have thought that the moment she exposed Luo Yining's identity, the Duke of England would come to visit. The Duke of England was looking for his daughter again! But she had already determined that Luo Yining's father was a guard, so how could she have suspected the Duke of England?
Luo Yining is actually the daughter of the Duke of England!
"How did you know?" Aunt Qiao felt her throat dry and grabbed Luo Yilian's hand. "But is it true?"
"The Duke of England and Luo Yining were talking. I heard them from the side." Luo Yilian felt her mother's grip sting a little. She continued, "The Duke of England wanted to take Luo Yining back home. He seemed to be asking Luo Yining if she wanted to... She had already agreed."
Of course he would agree. Knowing that his biological father was a British Duke and that he should have lived a more noble life, who would not agree?
Luo Yilian pushed Aunt Qiao away and grabbed her hand. "Mother, I saw Madam Zheng at the banquet today. Tell me, what did you say when you took that girl to talk to Father? Father has been humiliated like this. If he is misled by you again, he will definitely be angry at you. If the Duke of Ying knew what you did to Luo Yining, he would definitely not let you go."
Aunt Qiao was flustered by her daughter's words. What was she saying... She wanted to make Luo Chengzhang dislike Luo Yining, so she naturally said the most unpleasant things.
If Luo Yining was really the daughter of a guard, it would be fine, but she was originally extremely noble, and yet she was insulted like this...
It was just her fault for being too hasty in her attempt to get Xuan Ge'er back as soon as possible.
Aunt Qiao felt as if a layer of cold water was passing through her heart, and her whole body was cold. It took her a long time to calm down.
This wasn't a problem. Luo Yining's background was flawed, after all. If the Duke of England wanted to protect her reputation, he wouldn't dare publicize it. But what exactly did Mother Zheng say to Luo Chengzhang? What did the Duke of England say to him? She had to know. The Luo family, succumbing to the Duke of England's influence, would definitely do what he wanted.
After thinking of this, Aunt Qiao did not dare to delay for a moment. She asked the maid to change her clothes and she wanted to go to Luo Chengzhang immediately.
Aunt Qiao's idea was indeed correct. The Duke of England had used courtesy before force. Since he had already given Luo Chengzhang enough face, he would not be polite at this moment. In the afternoon, Luo Chengzhang had already told him why Yining had moved to the side courtyard and why she was treated like this.
Wei Ling sat in Luo Chengzhang's study, holding a cup of tea, and said, "...I'll come to pick up Yining tomorrow. As for what Yining wants to take away, it's entirely up to her preferences. Lord Luo won't object, will he?"
