C12 Thousand Faces

It wasn't just Luo Yanqing. Under such repeated pressure, even Aunt Luo, who was used to being submissive, was slowly provoked into rebellion.

But the daughter was important, and the son wasn't? Thinking of the words Du Yuchu had said when she was called over, Aunt Luo finally couldn't muster up the courage to refuse and reluctantly nodded her head in agreement.

"Yes, I did."

Only then did Du Yuchu feel satisfied. He looked at Li mama and said, "Where's the soup I prepared for Aunt Luo?" Why hasn't it been brought up already? "

Hearing this, Li mama hurriedly raised her hand and slapped herself in the face before bending down to plead her case. "Aiyo, seeing this servant's memory, madam had already instructed the steward to prepare some soup to nourish Aunt Luo's body. This servant will go and bring it up now."

Knowing that this was all for her to see, before Li mama could even turn around, Aunt Luo had already sensibly bowed to Du Yuyao, feeling flattered.

"How … how could I possibly inconvenience you, Madam? Your humble servant …" This humble one truly deserves it. "

"How could that be?" Du Yuchu smirked as he stood up and personally helped Aunt Luo up, "As long as you can remember me and Master, we won't have wasted our time doing all this."

"Yes, I will remember this."

Senior Servant Li returned very quickly with the ginseng soup. Luo Yanqing didn't know what kind of twists and turns there were, but she could clearly see that the knuckles of Aunt Luo's hands, which were holding the handkerchief, were already turning white.

Were there any problems with the words Du Yuchu said before, or was it that bowl of ginseng soup?

Thinking of how Luo Qingchen hurriedly told him to bring his big brother back, Luo Yanqing didn't dare to let her guard down. But before he could stop Li mama from bringing the soup back to Aunt Luo, the door opened again.

It was actually Chao Shan with his men.

Luo Shuya subconsciously flinched. Apparently, she was still angry at Chao Chao Shan and forgot to bow.

Chao Shan didn't pay any attention to Luo Shuya who was hiding in the corner. After acknowledging his two sons' gifts, he turned to look at Aunt Luo and Du Yuchu, who had come over to greet him with a smile.

"Have you finished what you wanted to say?"

"Master." Du Yuchu's smile was unavoidably frozen for an instant, "What are you doing here at this hour?"

"En, after you're done, just let Aunt Luo go back. Qing Cen's leg is injured, I've already asked the housekeeper to call the doctor. We can't delay tomorrow's outing any longer."

As she said this, Luo Qingchen was supported over. She forced herself to salute everyone before obediently standing next to Aunt Luo and Luo Yanqing.

Seeing Luo Qingchen in such a sorry state, how could Aunt Luo and Luo Yanqing have the time to think about the soup and the trip? They were busy asking in whispers, but Luo Qingchen could only shake her head and say that she was fine.

But she didn't look like she was going to be okay at all. Aunt Luo's eyes were red from the pain.

However, Du Yuchu's conversation with Camel Chao Mountain continued.

Hearing the implied meaning in Chao Shan's words, Du Yuchu hesitated. He thought to himself, what if this Luo clan drinks the ginseng soup and delays Luo Qingchen's trip tomorrow instead? But thinking back to how pitifully wronged her daughter had been just now, Madame Du steeled her heart and made Li mama pass the ginseng soup to Aunt Luo.

After all, as long as Luo Shi was ill, this Luo Qingchen was still not a chess piece in her hands, she could do whatever she wanted with him!

"Then let's wait for Aunt Luo to drink this bowl of soup, then take away Old Geng, who I've prepared, and call for a doctor to prepare some medicine for Qing Cen. Girls should be more beautiful." No matter how harshly he criticized these concubines and concubines, on the surface, Du Yuchu was still willing to play the role of a virtuous principal wife.

Of course, she had never purposely hidden the things she had done from Chao Shan.

"Since Madam is so kind to you, drink quickly." As long as Luo Qingchen could be fine tomorrow, Chao Shan also didn't care whether this bowl of ginseng soup was for him or for his life.

In his eyes, whether it was a woman or a child, they all had to make way for him for his own benefits and glory.

Du Yuchu knew this, Aunt Luo knew it, and Luo Qingchen knew it even more.

"Ah, soup!" Putting on an act of not having seen the world before, Luo Qingchen struggled to stand in front of Aunt Luo, looking pitifully at Chao Shan, "Dad, mom has already given so much to me, can I just give this bowl to my daughter to drink?"

After saying so, she didn't forget to lick her lips longingly. Without waiting for a nod, she reached out and snatched the bowl from Senior Servant Li.

Other than Luo Zheping and Luo Shuya, who didn't know anything, as well as Luo Yanqing who vaguely guessed that Luo Qingchen was currently acting, no one present wished that the bowl of soup could be drunk by her. Senior Servant Li was even more frightened by her sudden action, and hastily moved to the side.

And just like that, the bowl of ginseng soup was knocked out of Senior Servant Li's hand by Luo Qingchen. The soup was scattered all over the place, bits and pieces of it flying all over the room.

Luo Qingchen's dirty face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't stand anymore. He kneeled straight down, "Daddy, I didn't do it on purpose. I just didn't drink …" "Daddy, I was wrong …"

Her acting was amazing, and her tears fell as she said those words. She reached out her hand to wipe them away, making it even harder for her to see her original appearance.

"Alright, stop crying!" Chao Shan felt a headache coming on. "It's just a bowl of soup. If you want to go back and drink it, ask your aunt to cook it for you. Let's go."

"Old master, this …"

How could Du Yuchu be willing to let Aunt Luo escape just like that? He wanted to say something, but Luo Yanqing had already reacted very quickly, picking up Luo Qingchen and bowing to her.

Du Yu was infuriated, and she was no longer happy with Chao Shan. "You let them go just like that, don't you know …"

"Alright, stop talking." After interrupting Du Yuchu's words, Chao Shan said to the other people in the room, "You guys also leave first."

He waited until it was just the two of them before explaining patiently, "Madam, I know what you want to do. I don't want Shu-er to marry her, but you are going too far with Aunt Luo right now. Furthermore, you are the true mother, so there is no need for you to overdo things. "

As expected, he was well aware of Du Yuchu's plan.

"Tomorrow, I will ask both Yun Hui and Qingchen to go out with us. Don't dress our Shu-er up so well; with Qingchen's looks, there's a possibility that she'll be selected by Guan Shaoning. If you pass her on to you, wouldn't she also be a direct descendant?"

When Du Yuchu heard this, he realized that Chao Shan had already made up his mind. His anger gradually dissipated, but he was still a little worried. "What kind of influence will it have on Shu-er to be the direct daughter?"

"How could that be? They just existed to clear Shu-er's path."
