Chapter 534 Young Luo is shocked (Extra 1)
At noon, the sun was scorching the earth.
A stern-looking boy of sixteen was kneeling in the courtyard, being stared at and talked about by the servants and maids who were coming and going. His straight back was covered in blood and the wounds were still oozing with blood, as if he had just been whipped a hundred times.
A beautiful woman stood in front of him and asked proudly, "Second Young Master, why are you so stubborn? This is not your own marriage, how can you make the prince so angry? After all, we are mother and son. If you admit your fault and give in to me, maybe I can get the prince to forgive you this time."
Luo Jingfeng was shocked to hear her mention mother and son. She glared at the concubine of the Zhennan King who didn't know the difference between respect and inferiority, and said coldly: "You bitch, are you worthy? Get out of here!"
Aunt Pei's face turned cold after being scolded. She said viciously: "You ungrateful thing, you will die on your knees here!"
After saying that, she turned to the servants and said, "Come here, watch over the Second Young Master. He is not allowed to return to his room or eat or drink until he admits his mistake!"
"yes."
The sunlight became stronger and stronger, and the pain in his body became more and more severe, but the boy said nothing and was so stubborn that no one could pull him back.
Soon, a young girl came and saw the tragic situation in the yard. Her eyes turned red with heartache. She ran over and shouted, "Second brother!"
Fifteen-year-old Luo Shu was stunningly beautiful, and I felt even more sorry for her when I saw her. However, she was gentle in nature and had no one to rely on. As soon as she came of age, she was targeted by various forces, and even Aunt Pei, the favorite concubine, wanted to get involved.
Luo Jingfeng frowned: "Third sister, why are you here? Aren't you practicing the zither with the teacher?"
Luo Shu stood beside him, shielding him from the scorching sun, and said with tears in his eyes: "It was Aunt Pei who told me. She said that you quarreled with father over my marriage, and not only were you whipped a hundred times, but you were also punished to kneel under the sun... Second brother, how could father be so cruel that he wouldn't even let you take medicine."
"Mrs. Pei?" Luo Jingfeng got angry when he heard it. "What did this bitch tell you? Did she trick you into marrying her nephew from her mother's family?"
Luo Shu shook his head and nodded: "She didn't say it directly, but she told me a lot of good things about that man, saying that his family is a merchant family, rich, and that she can live a simple life after marrying him..."
Luo Jingfeng shouted, "Nonsense! I've seen her nephew before, he's just a lazy playboy, a den of wolves and tigers! Third sister, don't listen to her nonsense, I don't agree with this marriage!"
Luo Shu's tears fell: "But second brother, we have no choice. Mother died early, and the palace has been controlled by Concubine Pei for many years. She decides the marriages of the children in the family. We can't do anything... This is fate, this is fate."
She didn't want to accept her fate either.
But she refused to accept her fate. Her brothers were behind her. Today it was her second brother who was beaten, but tomorrow it could be her eldest brother. Aunt Pei was eager to use her to kill her two brothers, so that her child would have a hope of inheriting the throne.
The three siblings were helpless and could not defeat the powerful Aunt Pei.
Luo Jingfeng clenched his fists and made up his mind: "Next month, my father will go to Beijing to celebrate the emperor's birthday. When we get to Beijing, we will look for Uncle Wen. He has been in Beijing for many years and must know which sons are good. We will ask him to find a reliable marriage for you in Beijing. It is better than letting this bitch find someone randomly."
"Uncle Wen?" Luo Shu remembered this person.
Wen Qi, Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, a third-rank official.
Last year, he was ordered to come to Yunnan, and he was accompanied by a girl named Wen Lingyu, his eldest daughter.
Also... my second brother’s sweetheart.
Luo Shu asked timidly, "Is it really possible?"
Luo Jingfeng was also unsure: "I'll write a letter to Lingyu and give it a try!"
"Okay." Luo Shu smiled like a flower.
The next month, King Zhennan left Kaifeng and went to Beijing to celebrate his birthday.
The capital city is prosperous, it is a different world compared to Yunnan. Carriages from the Zhennan Palace are entering the city one after another. The two brothers Luo Jingfeng ride on tall horses and guard Luo Shu's carriage.
Seventeen-year-old Luo Jingyun was more outgoing. He looked at the people coming and going and asked curiously, "Second brother, you said that the capital is full of people, where do they grow mushrooms?"
Luo Jingfeng frowned and said, "In the suburbs, but brother, Beijing is in the north, there shouldn't be many people growing mushrooms there."
"Oh, yes, I forgot about it." Luo Jingyun sighed, "Yunnan is still the best. When I get married, I will take two concubines and have seven or eight children. When I have nothing to do, I can go mushroom picking. How happy it is!"
Luo was shocked: “……!”
You are the eldest son of King Zhennan and you will inherit the throne.
Is this the extent of your ambition?
Luo Jingyun was still mumbling, "Hey, second brother, you told me before that you planned to only marry a wife and not take a concubine. What do you think? Are you scared by Aunt Pei? She is who she is, and she doesn't represent all concubines. If you don't take a concubine, others will think you are inhumane."
Luo Jingfeng said coldly: "Then I will cut off other people's tongues."
Luo Jingyun was shocked: "..."
It's really scary for a man to have a sweetheart.
At this moment, the carriage in front suddenly stopped.
The maidservant beside Aunt Pei hurried over and said, "Master, Master, the Fifth Miss was just scolded by Aunt and cried. We want the Third Miss to come over and keep her company."
Luo Jingfeng directly retorted: "Doesn't that bitch love that little bitch the most? Scolding? Tell me how she scolded?"
The carriages all stopped and the people watching were talking about it.
The maidservant said aggrievedly: "Second Master, this is the street in the capital, why do you have to say such harsh words? Even if you don't recognize your aunt, the Fifth Lady is still your biological sister."
Luo Jingfeng shouted angrily: "How can a little bitch born of a concubine be worthy of being my sister? Get away from her. If you dare to disturb us again, don't blame me for attacking you in front of the whole city!"
Normally, the maid would have been scared away by such a yell.
But today, I don't know what made me so bold, I burst into tears: "Second Master! I am just here to tell you that you are not happy with Aunt and Fifth Miss, why do you take it out on me? I didn't say anything!"
Luo was so frightened that he wanted to draw his sword.
Behind him, Luo Shu had already opened the carriage curtain and urged him urgently: "Second brother, don't be impulsive!"
As soon as the girl appeared, the people were so excited that they stopped watching.
They all exclaimed in amazement: "Fairy...Fairy!"
"Who is that? Who is that? It's amazing!"
"This appearance is far better than the most talented woman in the capital. Oh my God, how lucky am I to have the honor of meeting such a beautiful girl!"
"This is the carriage of the King of Zhennan. Is this the King of Zhennan's daughter?"
"The King of Zhennan's daughter is so beautiful!"
"There is such a beautiful person in Yunnan!"
Luo Jingfeng raised his eyes in shock, and only then did he understand Aunt Pei's vicious heart. She did it on purpose. She just wanted people to see the appearance of her third sister!
The 16-year-old boy, who had just come from Yunnan, did not know what this meant in the capital city where the powerful and the wealthy gathered. However, he subconsciously tensed up his nerves, dismounted, closed the carriage curtains, and shouted, "Move now!"
