Luo Xue was sent back to the Duke's Mansion by Luo Lan personally. In order to prevent her from having wild thoughts, she did not go to Huichun Hall today, but stayed in the Duke's Mansion.
Luo Xue's mood wasn't too bad, but it wasn't much better either.
After she returned to the Duke's Mansion, she lay down on the bed and said that she was sleepy and wanted to sleep.
Xiaoling didn't doubt it much, but ordered the kitchen to prepare Luo Lan's favorite food.
Luo Lan didn't leave her room until he saw Luo Xue fall asleep.
She strolled leisurely in the back garden of the Duke's Mansion, feeling indescribable emotions in her heart.
She had originally planned to go to Prince Ming's mansion in the morning, firstly to question him about what happened last night, and secondly to ask Leng Ming to shut his mouth and not talk nonsense outside.
But thinking about it, this seemed like a foolish idea. Since Leng Ming was so desperate to possess Luo Xue, would he still care about her reputation? Wouldn't it be humiliating to go there rashly?
Thinking of this, she sighed, found a stone to sit down, and stared at the water in the stream in a daze.
It is autumn now. When the autumn wind blows, a cool feeling spreads all over the body.
Luo Lan tightened her clothes, feeling indescribably sad.
She knew that Luo Xue was pretending to be asleep just now, she just didn't want her to see how sad she was.
She didn't know what Luo Xue would do in the future. She was such a strong person. How would she face the unbearable memories of last night?
And Leng Ming, how could he have done such a shameful thing last night? It was so infuriating. How could she teach him a lesson? How could she vent her anger for Luo Xue?
While she was thinking about this, Ah Hong came hurriedly and whispered:
"Princess, Leng Ming is here!"
Hearing this name, Luo Lan's expression suddenly became nervous, and she asked angrily:
"What is he doing here?"
"He... brought gifts and cash, saying... he came to propose marriage."
"What?"
Luo Lan felt as if she had been hit on the head with a stick. She clenched her fists and said hatefully:
"There are still such shameless people? Don't let the Second Miss know. I'll go to the front hall to check."
After saying this, she ran to the front hall.
My father is not at home, and my mother is the only one there. She doesn't know what happened last night, so she naturally doesn't know how to deal with it.
Fortunately, she was here, otherwise, Luo Xuefei and Leng Ming would have fought.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.
When she hurried to the main hall of the Duke's Mansion, Leng Ming was talking to his mother.
"Leng Ming, why are you here?"
The moment she entered the room, she walked up to him and yelled without saying anything.
Seeing this, Xiaoling accused in confusion:
"Lan'er, how can you say that? How can you be so rude? She came here sincerely to ask for marriage. Whether it succeeds or not, we can't neglect her."
Luo Lan looked back at Xiao Ling with a serious expression and raised his voice and said:
"Mom, go back to the house first. Everyone go downstairs. I have something to say to him."
Xiaoling was a little hesitant at first, but seeing Luo Lan's unhappy expression, she had no choice but to nod, waved to the maids, and left with them.
When they were the only two left, Luo Lan looked at Leng Ming with gritted teeth and asked in a low voice:
"Leng Ming, why didn't I see you earlier? You are such a shameless person?"
Leng Ming was stunned at Luo Lan's scolding. Then he stood up and stood parallel to her. He stared back at her and replied word by word:
"Fourth sister-in-law, I'm sure you know everything about what happened last night. I came here today for Luo Xue's own good. Otherwise, how will she get married in the future?"
Leng Ming's words made Luo Lan's face turn livid. She looked at him angrily.
"You are so despicable..."
"Fourth sister-in-law, don't say that. My feelings for Luo Xue are not as simple as you think. I love her, so I want to get her regardless of everything. Now she is mine. I have mobilized a large number of people to come and offer the betrothal gifts. Do you really want to break us up?"
Luo Lan looked at the familiar face in front of her and suddenly became wretched. She could never have imagined that the ignorant Leng Ming back then would say such words and do such things.
She looked at him, full of hatred and anger, raised her hand, and slapped him in the face.
This slap left Leng Ming stunned on the spot. He was completely unprepared and naturally had not expected it.
He covered his face, which had just been hit by her, with one hand, and looked at her with blazing eyes.
"Liu Luolan, you dare to hit me?"
"Beating you is too light. I really want to kill you, Leng Ming, Leng Ming, I never thought you would become like this. When you first left the palace, I told you to be a kind person, but now, you actually use despicable means to do such a shameful thing. You really disappoint me."
Leng Ming glared back at her without any hesitation and shouted angrily:
"Don't think that just because you're my fourth sister-in-law, you can teach me without restraint. I'm an adult now. I'm Prince Ming of Daning State. I don't need you to teach me what I want to do. My purpose for coming here today is very clear, which is to marry Liu Luoxue. Call her out and ask her if she agrees."
"She won't agree. Don't dream."
"If she doesn't agree, don't even think about marrying anyone else. I, Leng Ming, will marry her."
"You're dreaming. Even if Luo Xue never gets married, she will never marry a despicable person like you."
"Hahaha……"
Leng Ming suddenly raised his head and smiled.
"Do you dare to make this decision? Don't you really want to discuss this with Luo Xue and General Liu? If so, don't blame me, Leng Ming, for not keeping my mouth shut."
Luo Lan looked at Leng Ming's almost hideous face, raised his finger and pointed at him, warning with deep hatred:
"Leng Ming, if you dare to go out and talk nonsense, I, Liu Luolan, will make you lose your reputation and leave you dead without a burial place. If you don't believe me, just try it."
"Okay, let me put this on hold. I'll give you three days. I'll come back after three days. If you disagree, don't blame me for being rude..."
At this time, Luo Xue, who had already known the news, was standing behind the pillar in the main hall. She looked at Leng Ming's face that made her extremely disgusted, and Luo Lan's unswerving look when he stood up for her, and her heart ached.
She could imagine that if Leng Ming told others what happened last night, her father would be furious and her mother would be too embarrassed to see anyone.
As for her sister and brother-in-law, they will definitely settle the score with Leng Ming. In this way, these people will be confused because of her, which is not the result she wants to see.
Rather than passively waiting here, it's better to take the initiative. In this life, marrying anyone doesn't matter. It's better to avenge the insult yourself.
Thinking of this, she walked out from behind the pillar and replied calmly:
"No need to wait three days, I accept this marriage."
