But only in times of crisis like this did she hold him close like a treasure, but she never paid any attention to him on other days.
The little girl murmured uneasily, as if having a nightmare. She trembled uneasily, terrified of being helpless. Luo Shenyuan stared at her face intently, then slowly reached out a hand and touched her forehead. She nuzzled his cool hand and moved closer to him, seeming to feel better.
Luo Shenyuan looked at her like a little animal, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Old Mrs. Luo watched her granddaughter clinging to Luo Shenyuan's sleeve, and a wave of sympathy surged in her heart. She said calmly, "Perhaps Yi Ning is destined to be doomed by you. She always gets into trouble when she meets you, yet you always save her."
Luo Shenyuan was her least favorite of her grandchildren. He reminded her of the girl who poisoned her roommates. She also always believed that like a dragon, like a phoenix, like a phoenix, but a mouse's son would dig holes. How could a mother like that give birth to a good son?
As she expected, Luo Shenyuan sometimes did things that were truly sinister.
But sometimes, Mrs. Luo felt pity for him. Normally, he was quite filial to her. Like now, he was wearing a half-worn light blue robe that had been washed many times, probably made two years ago. He was frugal and hardworking. He had never been mean to Yining.
"Yining still needs to recuperate, you should go." After all, Mrs. Luo didn't want to see him, so she turned sideways.
Luo Shenyuan didn't say anything, but looked down at Yining's pale face. He reached out and pried Yining's hand away.
Yi Ning vaguely realized something and tried to grab something, but Luo Shenyuan had already taken a step back, and she couldn't grab anything. Luo Shenyuan turned and left. When he reached the door, he seemed to hear Yi Ning mumbling something again. He paused, but still walked out.
Mother Xu couldn't bear to see this.
"Madam, although the Third Young Master is a bit decisive, he has always been kind to the Seventh Young Lady. Why are you…"
Mrs. Luo sighed slowly, "Forget it. Even you say that." Mrs. Luo felt even more exhausted after this emotional turmoil. She asked Mother Xu to help her sit down, her expression revealing her age. "I can't take care of Meimei for much longer. If I die, who will protect her..."
Mother Xu smiled gently and said, "Isn't there one right now? With the Third Young Master's temper, are you still worried that he can't protect our sister? If he loves our sister, then in the future, only our sister will bully others, and no one else will bully her."
When Mrs. Luo heard this, she thought for a while.
Luo Chengzhang had handled his official duties successfully today and returned early. When the servant asked him where he was going, Luo Chengzhang, still thinking of Concubine Qiao's delicate face, softened his tone. "To Concubine Qiao. And tell Madam to not wait for me for dinner."
The servant went to answer, and Luo Chengzhang saw that there was not even a maid standing at the door of Aunt Qiao, so he personally lifted the curtain and went in. Who knew that Aunt Qiao was having a private conversation with Luo Yilian inside, and was startled to see Luo Chengzhang come in.
Luo Chengzhang laughed and said, "What are you two talking about? You actually sent the servants away."
Aunt Qiao looked embarrassed. "But...but I didn't say anything. If I said anything I shouldn't have said. I was afraid that the master would accuse us of spreading rumors, so I said it quietly."
Luo Chengzhang sat down and held Xuan Ge'er in his arms. "Now that you say that, I'm even more interested." Luo Chengzhang looked at Luo Yilian, "Since your mother won't tell you, then tell your father."
Luo Yilian hesitated for a moment before she stood up and said, "It's still about Seventh Sister. This morning, Seventh Sister used illness as an excuse and insisted on bringing a maid to serve in the study. The female teacher said it was against the rules to bring a maid to class and didn't let Seventh Sister do it. But Seventh Sister insisted on having the maid serve her, so the female teacher got angry and punished Seventh Sister by making her copy books. As a result, Seventh Sister didn't come to school that afternoon out of spite..."
Luo Yilian's voice became increasingly quiet, but Luo Chengzhang grew increasingly furious. With every additional word Luo Yilian spoke, his face darkened.
In the end, Luo Chengzhang couldn't help but slam the table: "I think it was her who was indulged!"
Luo Chengzhang's good mood was completely ruined, and his face darkened. He stood up and went to Old Lady Luo.
Aunt Qiao hurriedly cried out in pain from behind, "Master, Miss Seven is just a child after all! And she's doted on by the old lady, so it's better not to go."
Luo Chengzhang's forehead veins throbbed as he heard this, and he felt like he wanted to teach Luo Yining a lesson. Without even pausing, he headed straight for Old Lady Luo.
Mrs. Luo and Lin Hairu are taking care of Yining.
Lin Hairu was usually a straightforward person, but seeing Yi Ning so frail, she couldn't help crying: "When I married her, my sister was only two years old. I treated her like my own daughter. I was afraid that she would be missing out on all the delicious food and useful things. How could she become like this..."
Old Mrs. Luo was annoyed by her crying. Seeing that she was really sad, she didn't want to scold her.
At this moment, a maid hurried in from outside the door and whispered in the old lady's ear, "Madam, the second master is coming towards us and he seems very angry."
Mrs. Luo asked the maid to help her up and walked slowly towards the main hall. As expected, she saw Luo Chengzhang with an angry look on his face.
"Mother, where is Yining's evildoer?"
Mrs. Luo's brows furrowed as she heard him repeatedly call her beloved a cursed creature. "Look at you! Why are you throwing a tantrum at me for no reason? Even if Yi Ning is a bad girl, she's still your daughter. How can you call her that?"
Luo Chengzhang gritted his teeth in anger and said, "I'd rather not have such a daughter. What a wicked thing! She didn't behave in Miss Gu's class and even lied about being sick. She was only scolded by Miss Gu, and she dared not go this afternoon? Where is she? Tell her to come out!"
