Otherwise, Yining didn't know how to look at him. It was a bit too much for her to control herself just now.
"The injury on your leg hasn't healed yet, so don't move around too much. Your mother has excused you from paying respects today, so just stay in your room and read." Luo Shenyuan instructed her, "Or practice the piano. I've also moved your piano here for you." She didn't bring it with her to the Duke of Ying's Mansion when she left.
Yi Ning agreed with a smile, thinking that he was too nosy, and then walked him out of the room.
After seeing him off, she actually went to the piano room and practiced for a while, but her heart was in turmoil. Thinking of Lu Jiaxue's suspicions about her, and wondering what he was up to, she couldn't calm down. She simply stopped and asked Zhenzhu to find some stationery. She wrote a letter to Wei Ling, asking him if he was still going to Xuanfu, and to let her know if there were any transfer orders.
Just then, Luo Yixiu came to ask her to go strolling in the garden together. Seeing her bandaged ankle, she could only sit down and talk with her. She took a piece of cloud cake and ate it, saying, "I'm leaving tomorrow."
"Fifth brother-in-law is here to see you so soon?" Yining pushed her favorite peach cake in front of Luo Yixiu, asking her to eat more.
"No." Luo Yixiu said sullenly, "He didn't come to see me, but I have legs. I can walk back by myself."
Although Luo Yixiu and Luo Yiyu had different personalities, they were both stubborn. She returned to her parents' home in anger and looked so dejected. It was really unfair.
"What if he wants to take a concubine? Auntie didn't say anything. Are you going to let your fifth brother-in-law take your eldest daughter?"
Luo Yixiu shook her head: "What can my mother say? Both of my concubines were raised by her aunt. My mother said that Zhenniang is still obedient. If she takes a concubine, then she will take a concubine. In the future, the children born by Zhenniang will be registered under my name. If I am more lenient, he will love me more. It's my fault for being so deadlocked."
Zhenniang is Luo Yixiu's eldest maid.
"Does your third brother have servants around him?" Luo Yixiu suddenly remembered something and leaned closer to her and said, "I think you should be careful with those maids. When they reach a certain age, they will be married off to servants. If they climb into your third brother's bed and become his concubine, it would be a step up to heaven. I remember that those girls were all pretty, especially the one named Fu Jiang. I'm telling you, you can't not consummate the marriage. You hear all this talk about whether you should have reached the age of marriage or not. Why don't you just climb into his bed tonight..."
Yi Ning stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth and said, "Enjoy yours!"
She had already left this morning, but Luo Shenyuan still cared about her. He was a man of his word...
Luo Yixiu drank a cup of tea and continued, "But don't worry about me. Your fifth brother-in-law treats me very well. He's fine with taking a concubine, he likes Zhenniang very much... But your fourth brother-in-law came to see Yiyu last time, but Yiyu slapped him away and he never came again."
Luo Yixiu smiled and said, "And your sister Yiyu has been having trouble eating and drinking lately."
Things in this world are strange. Once a heart is broken, there's no going back. Luo Yixiu said goodbye to Yining and took away a set of bone china teacups. Yining felt a little distressed, as it was her best bone china set. She thought about giving her the matching teapot as well, as it was useless. Luo Yixiu left with a smile on her face.
Yi Ning remembered something and sat up, asking Zhenzhu to ask Chen Lian to come in. He was the only one who knew Lu Jiaxue best.
Although she really didn't want to ask Cheng Lang for help unless it was absolutely necessary.
Yining looked at the crabapple tree laden with fruits outside the window, and thought of Lu Jiaxue, and she closed her eyes.
