The next morning, Luo Xue came to Luo Lan's room early.
Looking at the neatly dressed Luo Xue, Luo Lan asked curiously:
"What are you doing?"
"Sister, I'm worried about the business in the capital, so I want to go back first. Duoduo will stay here with mother for a few days, and then I'll go back with you guys."
"Are you going back now?"
Luo Lan stood up and walked to her side, looking at her with concern.
"Xue, it's so hard to get here, why don't you stay here with me for a few days?"
Luo Xue shook her head slightly.
"No, I'm worried about Huichuntang's business, nor the business of other shops. Besides, it's too quiet here, I'm not used to living here."
Seeing that she insisted on leaving, Luo Lan knew that she didn't want to see Leng Ming again and didn't want to stay in this place that made her sad.
She thought for a moment and nodded gently.
"Okay, since you want to leave, I won't keep you any longer. Wait for me outside for a while. I'll change my clothes, and you can accompany me to the main hall to burn some incense, make a wish, and then... let's go!"
Luo Xue nodded.
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside."
After saying that, she turned around dejectedly and walked outside.
Luo Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Leng Yu had gone out early in the morning, saying that court officials had rushed to deliver yesterday's memorial, and he needed to deal with it. He had not returned yet. Otherwise, she might have discussed Luo Xue's matter with him.
Judging from what An An described yesterday, when Luo Xue and Leng Ming heard that the other was going to commit suicide, they both rushed to stop him. This shows that they were both thinking about each other.
Maybe they are afraid, maybe they can't save face, or maybe they are resentful of the other party's indifference towards them. Anyway, they are unwilling to bring up the matter of reconciliation first.
In this case, do we need a suitable opportunity?
Thinking of this, Luo Lan seemed to have an idea.
When she and Luo Xue arrived at the main hall, the monks had already finished cleaning. Since the main hall was not open to the public these days, it was very quiet.
Luo Lan and Luo Xue knelt on the cushions one after another, clasped their hands together, closed their eyes, and prayed silently to the Buddha in their hearts.
After the prayer, Luo Xue helped Luo Lan stand up, and the two walked out of the hall. Luo Lan said softly:
"How many people are you taking back? Ask Ayu to take you back!"
Luo Xue smiled and shook her head.
"No need, I can take care of the two girls. Daning Kingdom is peaceful now, and I have my own skills. Let Ayu stay here!"
"Well, that's fine. Then go say goodbye to Mom first, then go back and pack your things. I'll take you down the mountain later."
After Luo Xue nodded, she parted ways with Luo Lan and went straight to the room where Xiaoling and Duoduo were.
Duoduo has always been very attached to her grandmother, which made Luo Xue feel a lot more relaxed, so she suggested going back to Beijing first. Although Xiaoling felt that she was a little anxious, she did not forcibly stop her.
She knew Luo Xue's heart best. She left early because she was disappointed with Leng Ming.
After Luo Lan and Luo Xue parted ways, she went straight to Leng Ming's door. She knocked on the door. After a moment of silence, she heard footsteps. Then, Leng Ming stepped forward and opened the door.
Looking at his dark circles, Luo Lan guessed that he must not have slept all night.
"Empress, why are you here?"
Luo Lan looked at him, smiling helplessly.
"You don't even want to call me the Imperial Sister-in-law? It seems you really want to live a life of emptiness and tranquility."
Leng Ming pursed his lips nervously. If he was a little afraid of Leng Yu, he had some respect for Luo Lan.
He always felt very humble when facing her.
Seeing him standing there without saying anything, Luo Lan walked straight into the room without any hesitation, sat down on the stool, and calmly pinched the teacup on the table.
"Don't be nervous. I'm not here to persuade you. If you want to become a monk, that's your business. It has nothing to do with me. I'm just curious. This Prince Ming of Daning State, the son-in-law of the Duke's Mansion, a second-rank official of the court, has so many titles that others can't even dream of, yet he doesn't know how to cherish them and wants to become a monk for the two women he loves most. This is truly a strange story!"
At this point, she blinked cunningly, "Oh, by the way, since you've decided to become a monk, it means you have no concerns about worldly affairs. Then I'm going to ask the emperor to change Duoduo's surname to Liu and adopt him into my family. Also, the King of Chu heard that you divorced Luo Xue and wants her to return to Chu immediately. She's packing her things now. Once she leaves, you can really be a monk with peace of mind."
After saying this, she stood up from the stool, came to his side, and looked at him with contempt.
"Leng Ming... Oh, no, I should call him Master Jingxin. I, Liu Luolan, have never looked down on anyone. You are the only one I look down on. For the sake of your own peace of mind, you can't even protect your own woman. In your free time, you might as well learn from Leng Xi. His mother, Concubine Li, has a temper that is not much better than your mother's. But Leng Xi manages family relationships very well. Even if Concubine Li wants to be the master of the house in Prince Xi's Mansion, she would not dare to yell at Qiaoqiao because of Leng Xi. This time when he went to Mianzhou for disaster relief, in order to prevent her from being wronged at home, he brought Yu Qiaoqiao with him. He values Yu Qiaoqiao so much, who would dare to look down on her? Look at you, what else have you done besides escaping and tolerating? You are not willing to fight for your own happiness, so you are not worthy of being a monk with pure six senses!"
After saying this, Luo Lan glared at him hatefully, turned around and walked towards the door.
Before leaving, she reminded again,
"Luo Xue hasn't let you go, otherwise she wouldn't have come here. You've disappointed her so much. She's packing her things now and will be leaving soon. If she leaves, you'll never see each other again in this life. So I remind you, you only have this one chance to regret it. It's all up to you whether you want to seize it or not."
