Luo Xue Ning received the news early in the morning that Luo Xueyao had returned home, and she had already sent people to the front to check.

At this moment, Luo Xueyao was standing outside the door in a dusty and simple manner. In the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were so many people waiting to please this young lady that the entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion was crowded with people.

Luo Xueyao was dressed in plain clothes. As the weather was still a little chilly, she wore a cloak over her coat. She had her hair tied up in a simple bun and her headdress was also simple. Her fair little face was not made up, but there was a charming red between her lips, which made people sigh at the beauty of the eldest daughter of the Luo family.

This outfit is very scheming.

Seeing a group of people welcoming her, Luo Xueyao was very satisfied. This time when she went to the temple to pray, she really won the hearts of the people. The grand welcoming ceremony of the people in the mansion had to be as big as possible, otherwise, how could she show her reputation of filial piety to the outside world?

However, only Luo Xueyao herself knew how much of her prayers for the eldest lady were genuine and how much of it was false.

As the first lady's right-hand man, the second concubine treated Luo Xueyao very warmly, and every word she spoke was in praise of Luo Xueyao.

"The eldest lady is really filial. When she heard that the eldest lady was ill, she immediately went to the temple to pray for her. The eldest lady is so blessed to have such a filial and well-behaved eldest lady. We are all so jealous of her."

Who doesn't like to hear compliments? Although Luo Xueyao is a proud person, she can't help but show a hint of joy on her face when she hears someone praising her. But in Luo Xuening's eyes, it is really ironic.

The Second Aunt took a look at Luo Xueyao, who was secretly happy. The flattering smile on her face gradually turned into a sneer. Happy, happy, you are happy now, but you will regret it in the future.

As soon as the Second Aunt started talking, someone started to speak up: "Yes, the eldest daughter is really filial, but there are some people in our house who, knowing that their mother is ill, are unwilling to hire a doctor for the eldest lady. How can there be such a big difference between these people?"

The person who spoke was the Third Aunt. With her sharp face, she looked provocatively at Luo Xuening who was lagging behind, and then turned a flattering gaze to Luo Xueyao. Anyone with a discerning eye could see what she was thinking.

Luo Xueyao was naturally happy to see someone insulting Luo Xuening in front of her, but she still had to put on some effort to keep a straight face.

"Third Aunt, Fourth Sister also had good intentions. No matter what she did, I believe that Fourth Sister is truly filial. Third Aunt, please never say such things again."

Seeing Luo Xueyao calling her "fourth sister" so affectionately, outsiders who don't know might really think that this young lady is kind-hearted and protects her own sister. However, Luo Xuening does have the intention but does nothing. Such filial piety is better not to be tolerated. Luo Xueyao is clearly praising in public but criticizing in private.

The third concubine sighed in a pretentious manner: "The eldest lady is kind and the lady is virtuous, but some people just don't appreciate it."

Having said that, he glanced at Luo Xuening fiercely, and his contempt was very obvious.

Luo Xueyao stopped talking, but there was a clear flash of pride in her eyes.

Glancing at Luo Xue Ning, Luo Xue Yao put on a dignified and generous demeanor as an elder sister: "Fourth sister, are you going out?"

Her mother was still lying on the hospital bed, and her sister had just returned from praying in the temple. Luo Xuening went out at this time, which clearly confirmed the accusation of "unfilial piety" that the third aunt had just mentioned.

Luo Xuening knew that although Luo Xueyao looked weak, she was not someone to be trifled with. However, she never took such tactics to heart and just said with a half-smile on her face: "Yes, sister, I am going to find a doctor for mother."

These words really hit Third Aunt in the face. She stood there, looking at Luo Xuening in astonishment, and then snorted with disdain.

"Looking for a doctor? How can you find a good doctor with your condition?"

The Third Aunt must have a bad memory, so she forgot that the miracle doctor came to the mansion that day and she was scolded by Prime Minister Luo.

Of course, even if she had a good memory, she would not think how powerful Luo Xuening was. A concubine's daughter who had been oppressed since childhood was not worthy of her attention.

"Third Aunt, no matter what kind of doctor I hire, it is all my good intentions. If you think I can't find a good doctor, please hire one yourself."

The third concubine looked embarrassed. She must be crazy to go and find a doctor for the first lady herself.

The eldest lady's illness was treated by a few doctors symbolically, but they kept talking about Luo Xuening. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the eldest lady was faking illness. Even if the doctors she hired were really good, they couldn't cure a person who was pretending to be asleep.

"If you really wanted to find a doctor, you would have gone out to look for one long ago. Why wait until now? I see that you have no intention of being filial to your own mother at all."

After all the talk, the Third Aunt wanted to put the label of being unfilial on Luo Xuening.

Luo Xuening is really laughing, you think this is just leftovers, you keep repeating it over and over again.

She didn't care about filial piety or not, nor did she care about good reputation or bad reputation, but the Third Aunt was too ignorant of good and bad, and she was simply forcing her to lose her temper.

Yes, Luo Xuening is actually not as good-tempered as others appear.

"The Madam has been ill for so long, and Third Aunt has never taken into consideration the friendship between sisters and personally served the Madam. Now I want to go and ask for a doctor, and you want to hold me back. Third Aunt, what do you mean?"

Unintentionally, Luo Xue Ning set a trap for the Third Aunt. If you don't want me to call a doctor, then you can take personal care of the First Lady. I believe the First Lady will enjoy the care of her sisters.

The Third Aunt's face turned pale, and she stopped mentioning the word "care" altogether. I could not help but sigh, when did this woman become so sharp-tongued?

"I, I didn't mean that at all."

Luo Xue Ning wanted to ask for a doctor, but the Third Aunt tried to stop her. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Third Aunt didn't want the First Madam to get better. Luo Xue Yao glared at the Third Aunt coldly, without any tenderness in her eyes.

Even if she knew Luo Xuening was trying to provoke her, what did it matter? She didn't want such a brainless person.

The Third Aunt felt so wronged that she had to deny it repeatedly, but was it too late to deny it now?

"Third Aunt said, what does that mean? I'm young and I don't understand."

With a cute smile on her face, Luo Xuening looked like a really innocent and lovely girl, but Third Aunt found her so scary.

Luo Xueyao, who understood what was said, just wanted to curse in her heart, "You are old."

Luo Xue Ning's question was equivalent to Third Aunt's tacit approval. She had the intention to harm the first lady. Third Aunt's face was pale and she stared at Luo Xue Ning coldly. If she had known that Luo Xue Ning was so difficult to deal with, she would not have chosen to attack Luo Xue Ning at this time. Now, not only did she not get a good deal in front of Luo Xue Yao, but she was accused of a crime. Third Aunt felt very wronged, but Second Aunt said in her heart that she deserved it.

"I just feel that you have been home for many days and have many opportunities to hire a doctor for the first lady, but you have been delaying it. In my opinion, what you are doing now is clearly a show for others to see."

"oh."

Facing the Third Aunt's harsh rebuke, Luo Xue Ning just responded without any pain or itchiness. The Third Aunt only felt like she had punched cotton and continued to stare at Luo Xue Ning with resentful eyes.

"When the Madam was ill, I went to ask for a doctor, but that was just for show. Then, when the eldest sister went to the temple to pray for the Madam herself, was that also just for show?"

When it came to Luo Xueyao, it became even harder to explain. Luo Xueyao immediately glanced over. She had stayed in that dark and deserted temple for seven whole days and had been eating vegetarian food for seven days just to build a reputation of being filial. Now, all of it was ruined by the pig teammate, the Third Aunt.

Luo Xueyao, who was dragged into this, of course had to speak up. Otherwise, was he just waiting for others to criticize him for his behavior?

"When mom is sick, everyone feels bad. Whether it's me or my fourth sister, we all sincerely pray for mom and hope that mom will be healthy. I also hope that everyone will never say such things again in the future, and don't hurt mom's feelings for nothing."

After Luo Xueyao finished speaking, she did not forget to warn the Third Aunt. The Second Aunt watched the interaction between the two and just sneered.

And what about Luo Xue Ning? She looked at them expressionlessly. It wasn't that she didn't feel mocked, but she just didn't bother to pay attention to them.

"Fourth sister, where are you going to get medical help?"

Seeing Luo Xue Ning was about to leave? Luo Xueyao couldn't help but call her back.

"I heard that the lady is ill and several doctors have been invited but they are unable to find the cause. So, for the sake of the lady, I can only go and beg Prince Jing. I hope that Prince Jing will be merciful and lend me the miracle doctor."

Luo Xuening deliberately emphasized the word "ask" to express her intention to ask for a doctor for the lady. She was really sincere.

At least it is much more useful than Luo Xueyao going to the temple to pray to the Bodhisattva.

Hearing the mockery in Luo Xue Ning's tone, Luo Xue Yao's face looked very unhappy, but she just said calmly: "Fourth sister, I am also worried about mother. I have no choice but to not be close to Prince Jing. But in my heart, I am worried about mother, and I can't bear to see you running around for mother alone. Do you need me to accompany you?"

There was absolutely nothing wrong with what Luo Xueyao said. When others heard it, they would just think, this young lady is filial and kind, who cares? Is she taking this opportunity to take credit for herself?

Even if she couldn't get the credit for hiring a doctor, at least she had done her filial duty well, didn't she?

However, seeing Luo Xueyao's sincere face, Luo Xuening was really embarrassed to reject her, but...

With a cunning flash in her eyes, Luo Xuening will soon let Luo Xueyao know that some friendships are out of reach.
