Upon hearing that something had happened at Yanyu Tower, Luo Xiaoniang panicked and immediately lost her composure.
Su Mingyue scoffed inwardly, "And you're talking about her? Aren't I the same way!"
She was much more flustered than her; where was her composure?
However, she lowered her eyes to hide the disdain and contempt in them. At this moment, she understood very well that she needed Luo Xiaoniang's help and should not offend Luo Xiaoniang!
How could Luo Xiaoniang not be anxious?
She was much more anxious than Su Mingyue, because she had been able to live such a comfortable life thanks to Yanyu Tower!
Don't underestimate her just because she's an insignificant concubine in the Marquis's mansion. She's low-key, doesn't fight or compete, but she's far better off than the other concubines!
She knew this all too well!
For her, Yanyu Tower and Geng Yuepeng held immense significance!
Without the Misty Rain Pavilion and without Geng Yuepeng's loving support, she dared to guarantee that she would have a very difficult life!
Because they have something to rely on, they can live a low-key life in a large mansion where there are undercurrents in the shadows. If they had nothing and had to fight for everything themselves, it would be a completely different story!
Buddhist-like?
Not competing or grabbing?
Want to live a comfortable life? That's impossible!
Even a single penny can be a stumbling block!
Where can we find something we need, which we can easily obtain with just a few words?
Luo Xiaoniang had grown accustomed to this free and unrestrained life, and she dared not even think about a life without any support!
I don't want to think about it!
Once she lost her backer, it meant her good days were over, and she was more anxious than an ant on a hot pan!
Because she didn't want to lose that kind of life, she didn't want to put in the effort herself!
Over the years, apart from her lowly status, everything else has gone smoothly for her. Only a fool would be willing to give up his powerful backer!
In Luo Xiaoniang's mind, relying on a man is better than relying on herself!
As long as the man is reliable and obedient to her, she doesn't need to lift a finger to live a comfortable life!
"I'll go and find out what's going on first, then I'll tell you later! You go back first, so that others don't see this and use it as an excuse to cause trouble! Nothing will happen, don't worry! I'm here for you!"
After seeing Su Mingyue off, Luo Xiaoniang couldn't calm down for a long time, worried that the rumors circulating outside were true.
But if we don't investigate, we can't be entirely trusting what those people say. What if the information is wrong? Wouldn't that cause problems?
It's better to confirm it for peace of mind!
So he quietly called his personal maid over, bowed his head and whispered the instructions, and soon the maid left.
They thought it would go smoothly, but the maid quickly turned back, head down, and said she couldn't go out.
Luo Xiaoniang was furious. It was bad enough that she couldn't go out, but why couldn't even her maids and servants go out?
"The eldest young master said that unless there are special circumstances, no one is allowed to go out! He said it's very chaotic outside, and the manor is not peaceful either. For everyone's safety, it's better to stay in your own courtyard! When I came back, I heard that there were thieves in the manor, and they are searching everywhere now! They may come to our courtyard soon!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiaoniang's heart sank. What was this all about now?
Could it be that they came for her?
Su Luolin is so awful!
They're always doing things to target her!
Don't think she doesn't know; she's not stupid!
She had always thought he was someone she could control, at least more so than his two younger brothers, but now she realized she had been wrong!
Su Luolin is not easy to control at all; it's hard to say what will happen to her!
Previously, there was probably no conflict of interest, and everyone lived in peace. On the surface, everything was fine!
Once there is a conflict of interest, they can instantly become enemies, confronting each other head-on without any mercy!
All that kindness she showed him before was for nothing!
Thinking that the Marquis's mansion would belong to Su Luolin in the future, it was always right to curry favor with her. After her daughter got married, the Marquis's mansion would be her maternal home and her support. And in the end, the one who could make decisions for her daughter was still Su Luolin!
But it seems their plan backfired; the other party wasn't buying it at all!
After Miss Su disappeared, the mansion was filled with a deathly atmosphere, and everyone was depressed. This was a great opportunity for Luo Xiaoniang!
She could have pulled off some stunts, secretly consolidating her power and controlling everyone in the manor. Things were going quite smoothly until Su Luolin went out half-dead and returned completely different!
No longer gentle and refined, he returned and immediately began sweeping reforms!
That's not all. The key issue is that everyone with a voice agrees with it, yet he's allowed to change it however he wants!
They're saying they need to clean up the murky atmosphere in the mansion. There must be something unclean in the mansion, and it's time to exorcise the evil spirits!
Now that's settled, Su Luolin is on a one-way street to rectification, with no turning back!
They keep finding excuses to make changes, all sorts of ridiculous things!
They made the whole mansion a mess, and those people actually thought it was good!
She's so angry!
Her public persona was that she was neither competitive nor involved in the affairs of the household. Therefore, she could only confide in Marquis Anping. However, Marquis Anping lost patience and always sighed and said that he was powerless and had no way to help. He said that it was just a minor change and that it was harmless.
She is a sensible and understanding person, so naturally she can't say anything more, lest she ruin her image and arouse suspicion, which would be difficult to handle.
Therefore, she could only swallow these bitter pills and let the mansion do whatever it wanted without her having a say!
The old lady hadn't said a word, so how could she, a mere concubine, dare to utter a word? Did she not want to live a good life?
A head-on confrontation won't work, so let them do whatever they want.
This wouldn't have been a big deal in itself; Luo Xiaoniang was used to it. The mansion couldn't function properly without some kind of fuss or commotion. As long as it didn't affect her, she wouldn't pay much attention. But now it's affecting her!
Therefore, Luo Xiaoniang hates Su Luolin to death!
The hatred was already there, and with the old and new grudges combined, the resentment runs deep!
However, she could only harbor resentment in her heart; there was nothing Su Luolin could do about it!
Su Luolin can decide many things with a single sentence, even the quality of her life. Therefore, it's not the right time to confront Su Luolin yet.
If Yanyu Tower really fails and Geng Yuepeng is gone, then in the end, the only thing she can rely on is the Marquis of Anping's mansion. Decades later, when Su Luolin is in charge of the mansion, she still needs to think it over carefully!
"Tell me everything you heard on your way here and there! I want to hear it!"
Luo Xiaoniang paced around a few times before finally sitting down angrily and asking the maid who had just left to tell her what she had seen and heard.
"Everyone in the manor is talking about that Misty Rain Pavilion. I don't know what Misty Rain Pavilion is, but I listened carefully. Apparently, it's not doing well anymore, it seems to be on the verge of collapse and disbanding! The people inside have made too many enemies, and they've all fled for their lives!"
"Then, what about the original poster?"
"That guy, I heard, was seriously injured and is bedridden. Nobody dares to treat him, so he probably won't recover for a long time!"
Where did they go?
