Chapter 115: Night Talk: The Prime Minister is Actually Very Sentimental



Fang Jinyu certainly had selfish motives. To be honest, although Luo Xuening had good abilities, Fang Jinyu actually had more candidates to choose from when it came to infiltrating that human trafficker organization.

The reason why he chose Luo Xuening was that he just wanted to find some time to get in touch with her more.

Fang Jinyu looked at her indifferently, but unfortunately, the expectation in her eyes was revealed inadvertently.

Luo Xu Ning was deep in thought. She certainly wanted to bring those human traffickers to justice. At the beginning, after seeing the tragic death of the fifth lady of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, she hated these human traffickers in her heart.

In her past and present lives, what Luo Xuening could not tolerate the most in the past two lives was this kind of human trafficker organization.

However, Prime Minister Luo might not let her leave easily. She is still under house arrest by Prime Minister Luo.

"Master Fang, I am willing to help, but I still need to explain this to my father."

Luo Xuening didn't want to be punished by Prime Minister Luo for sneaking out again.

Fang Jinyu smiled: "Don't worry, the Prime Minister has agreed."

Why did these words sound so familiar to Luo Xue Ning? She remembered that Long Mo Xun had said the same thing to her last time. Unfortunately, the final result was that Luo Xue Ning was punished by Prime Minister Luo. This time, it would be strange if she could trust Fang Jinyu.

"Okay, you can ask Prime Minister Luo."

Being questioned, Fang Jinyu's expression remained calm, she just smiled calmly: "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

Luo Xuening's eyes flashed, and she tried her best to avoid Fang Jinyu's overly enthusiastic gaze. She lowered her head and walked back to the Buddhist temple like counting stones.

The Buddhist temple has been cleaned up. The mess just now seems to have disappeared, and it is quiet and deserted.

"Where's the first lady?"

Luo Xuening was not used to calling the eldest lady "mother". Of course, the eldest lady did not deserve such a title.

"Madam is not feeling well today and has gone back to her room to rest."

Feeling unwell, Luo Xuening's mind flashed back to the image of the eldest lady with her hands on her hips, ready to fight with her. She couldn't help but sneer. The eldest lady's illness came on so quickly.

There was a faint fragrance lingering in the temple, but when I sniffed carefully, I could smell nothing.

Luoxue frowned. For some reason, she felt that there was something different in the Buddhist temple today.

However, Luo Xuening couldn't figure out what was different from usual.

Well, the time for action is tomorrow, and she must find Prime Minister Luo to discuss it.

It was already night. Luo Xuening was in the Buddhist temple. With her skillful pen, she finally finished copying the Buddhist scripture tremblingly. Thinking that she still had to copy it 999 times, Luo Xuening felt unwell.

She swore that she would never be so foolish as to test Prime Minister Luo again.

Dragging my tired body out of the Buddhist temple and passing by Prime Minister Luo's main courtyard, I unexpectedly discovered that the lights were still on in the house of Prime Minister Luo, who always went to bed early.

Luo Xue Ning thought to herself, could it be that Prime Minister Luo is still waiting for me?

Trembling with fear, she knocked on Prime Minister Luo's door. She didn't expect that Prime Minister Luo had dismissed the guards in order to wait for her.

"Daddy?"

Prime Minister Luo was holding a scroll and admiring it attentively. Upon closer inspection, the scroll was a bit old, and there were traces of fading on the scroll. It seemed that Prime Minister Luo had often looked through it.

"Come and have a look."

Hearing Luo Xue Ning's greetings, Prime Minister Luo did not turn around. Instead, he was waiting for Luo Xue Ning in the room on purpose. He knew why Luo Xue Ning came to see him.

Luo Xue Ning stepped forward and her eyes swept across the scroll in Prime Minister Luo's hand. At just one glance, Luo Xue Ning was amazed.

The brushstrokes are delicate and elegant, as if divine. With just a few strokes, a landscape of lakes and mountains is sketched out, as if green water is spreading out in front of Luo Xuening.

"What a good painting," Luo Xuening praised sincerely.

The pride in Prime Minister Luo's eyes disappeared, and a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.

"This is what your aunt did."

Judging from the tone of his voice, Prime Minister Luo was probably feeling heartbroken because of Madam Ye's current crazy look.

Luo Xue Ning knew that Prime Minister Luo was deeply in love, and couldn't help but comfort him: "Dad, Auntie will definitely get better."

Prime Minister Luo's eyes flickered uncomfortably, and then he just nodded. He seemed to have a lot of things he hadn't said yet. Luo Xue Ning knew it, but didn't ask.

"Are you ready to go?"

Fang Jinyu did not lie, he had already made it clear to Prime Minister Luo that he wanted to ask Luo Xuening for help.

"Well, I'm here to ask Daddy's permission."

"If I don't agree, will you not go?"

Prime Minister Luo asked in return, which left Luo Xuening speechless. This, it’s really hard to say.

She was not a lady from the ancient court, so she could not do housework and play the piano in the court every day. Of course, she also had to calculate others.

Compared to investigating the case, Luo Xu Ning found that the daily infighting in the mansion was more difficult for her to accept.

"You have the same temper as your mother."

Although Prime Minister Luo's tone was regretful, he smiled when he mentioned Aunt Ye.

To what extent does one need to love someone so much, even after seeing the other person's miserable state and surrounded by beautiful women?

However, Luo Xuening felt that Prime Minister Luo's love also contained some elements of debt and guilt towards Aunt Ye.

However, she didn't say it.

To be fair, Prime Minister Luo stayed with Concubine Ye and did not forget his original intention after she went crazy. He has done well enough.

Prime Minister Luo had a distant look in his eyes. He was old, and his shrewd eyes were a little cloudy as he stared blankly ahead. After a long time, he came back to his senses from his memories.

"You know why I agreed to let you go out?"

"Because the person I feel most sorry for in my life is your mother."

Aunt Ye, Luo Xuening felt distressed when she thought of that woman who remained calm even though she suffered from hysteria.

"When I first met your aunt, she was gentle, kind, and talented. She attracted me deeply. However, her status prevented me from being with her. In the end, I could only take her into my house. But I am sorry for her. She should have been able to show her elegance, but this big house ruined her."

Prime Minister Luo was still in grief, and Luo Xue Ning just watched him quietly. She didn't know how to comfort him. What's more, since Prime Minister Luo was wrong about what happened back then, how could she judge?

After a pause, the sadness in Prime Minister Luo's eyes blurred his eyes. He looked at Luo Xuening, and it seemed as if he was looking at another person through Luo Xuening.

"The reason I let you go out is to let you make a future for yourself. Your future is not entirely in your own hands. As for what will happen to you in the future, Daddy can't help you."

Luo Xuening was a concubine's daughter. Even though she was favored in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it did not mean that she could do whatever she wanted. For example, her marriage would ultimately be decided by the Gu family.

Prime Minister Luo knew that the Gu family would not choose a good family for Luo Xuening, and even if he could help Luo Xuening, he would not be able to help her much. As long as Luo Xuening left the Prime Minister's Mansion one day, he would no longer be able to help her.

Therefore, he would rather give Luo Xuening a chance. She has to fight for her own future.

The good intentions were finally reduced to a simple sentence, but Luo Xuening listened, and even though she was not willing to do so, she was still moved by the deep affection.

"Daddy, thank you."

Luo Xuening spoke very slowly, but she remembered Prime Minister Luo's kindness.

Even though she was planning to flee the capital, she silently swore in her heart that if the Luo family or Prime Minister Luo ever needed her, she would never let them down.

"Okay, let's go back."

Prime Minister Luo waved his hands, seemingly still immersed in Aunt Ye's sorrow.

But the father and daughter did not know at this time that even if their conversation tonight avoided the guards, they could not avoid the secret guards.

The secret guard heard Luo Xuening actually volunteer to help Fang Jinyu, and he became anxious, thinking that he had to report such an important matter to the prince.

However, the prince said that unimportant matters should not be reported. An Weijing shook his head, thinking that Miss Luo’s affairs were nothing compared to the prince’s major event.

Well, let’s not report it, or I’ll be punished by the prince to clean the toilet again.
