C19 Continued Feigning Illness
Ju Qing tried her best to persuade Luo Shuya to leave. Looking at their backs, Aunt Luo and Xiang He both let out a sigh of relief, thinking that they could finally have some peace later on. Luo Qingchen, on the other hand, felt a bit regretful.
Of course, she cherished her face. However, if she could use her face in exchange for Luo Shuya's, who would never want to live, then she would not be stingy.
The Luo family had a simple population, but as Chao Shan was an imperial merchant, he did not stay home for more than a few months a year, so the rules were not as big as those of other families.
Of course, today was no exception. It was only Aunt Luo who ordered the dishes to be placed on the table. Luo Yanqing had arrived with a strange little package in her hands.
"Since you're here, let's have a meal together." Aunt Luo gestured for Luo Yan Jing to sit down. Luo Yan Jing pulled Luo Qing Cen in front of him and opened the package.
"These are all for you to defend yourself against. Put some on you and some on Xiang He, just in case."
Luo Qingchen blinked, and picked up one of the porcelain bottles with blue and white flowers, shaking it. "Potion?" What's the use of it? "
Luo Yanqing raised a finger, "You only need a drop of it to stun an adult man."
"What about this one?" Luo Qingchen picked up another small bottle, feeling much lighter than the previous one.
"Hemostatic drugs."
"This?"
"An itch powder."
"..."
Luo Qingchen asked about every single one of them, and in the end, stars appeared in his eyes. He looked at Luo Yanjing with adoration, "Brother, where did you get all these good things?"
"Secret!"
Two incense sticks of time before Shen's arrival, the housekeeper had already sent someone to invite them. Luo Qingchen and Luo Yanqing looked at each other, stood up and bid farewell silently to Aunt Luo.
Aunt Luo nodded and said, "Be careful." Luo Yanjing picked up Luo Qingchen in front of that person and strode towards the front courtyard.
As expected, Guan Shaoning and the others were already waiting there. The carriages had also been arranged for them to leave as soon as they arrived.
Luo Yanqing did not put Luo Qingchen down, but said with a troubled expression on his face, "Father, my sister's foot was injured in the first place, and since this morning she has suffered some shock. Although it's better to rest for a while, it might not be convenient to sit with my second sister, so let me take care of her."
"Scared? What's there to be scared about? " Chao Shan looked over and saw that Luo Qingchen's face was pale.
Before she could reply, Luo Shuya had already rushed over in anger. She reached out her hand to grab Luo Qingchen. "What are you scared of? You're just putting on an act!"
Luo Yanqing dodged to the side and looked at her without blinking, "Second Sister, Zhao Yue is always respectful and condescending towards you. I don't know what she did to make you go and find her early in the morning, but even now you're not willing to let her off."
"I just don't like it …"
"Enough!" Seeing that Luo Shuya was going to speak without thinking, Luo Chao Shan shouted loudly, and the two people who were fighting each other came to a stop.
He then stared at Luo Shuya, his gaze filled with unprecedented ferocity and severity. "Shuya, have you forgotten what your mother and I said yesterday?"
Startled by such a scene, Luo Shuya's eyes almost immediately turned red, but she did not dare to disobey his order. She could only glare hatefully at Luo Qingchen from behind.
Guan Shaoning looked at everything that was happening in front of him, and it was only now that he finally stood up, putting on a refined and refined appearance. His gaze landed on Luo Shuya's body, warm and long.
"Please don't be angry, Uncle Luo Shi. Although Miss Shuya is a bit impulsive, but she has a true temperament. I'm sure she doesn't have any bad intentions."
Just as Chao Shan was about to relax, Guan Shaoning's gaze turned gloomy once again when he saw that he was almost glued to her.
Luo Qingchen sneered in his heart. He knew that he couldn't remain silent like this any longer. Struggling, he jumped out of Luo Yanqing's embrace. As soon as she got to her feet, she cried out, and her body involuntarily fell to one side.
Fortunately, Luo Yan Jing was able to quickly support her, allowing her to fall to the ground once more.
"Is the injury of your foot still not healed?" Looking at Luo Qingcai's sickly appearance, Luo Chao Shan was extremely fed up with her.
Although he knew that Du Yuchu and Luo Shuya had treated his son and daughter badly, he had never seen them with his own eyes before. However, in the past two days, he had clearly seen how difficult life in this mansion was for Luo Qingchen.
The Du Family was becoming more and more domineering, and they were no longer putting him in their eyes.
Luo Qingchen looked up and smiled, "I'm almost done. It's not a big problem, just that I'm too weak to fight."
"Since that's the case, it's better for Fourth Miss to stay at home and rest. Third Young Master probably wants to stay home to take care of your little sister." Guan Shaoning looked like he was doing this for Luo Qing, but everyone knew about the little scheme that he had in mind.
But this time, his hopes failed.
Luo Qingchen stole a glance at Guan Shaoning, his pale face unexpectedly tinged with pink and his voice soft. "Thank you for your concern, young master Guan. These minor injuries are nothing to worry about. Besides, I haven't been out of the house for a long time."
"Yes, it's just a small wound. With my nephew and Yan Jing taking care of me, I can be at ease." With a wave of his hand, Chao Shan sent everyone into the car.
Perhaps it was to reward Luo Qingchen for being so obedient, but in the end, Chao Shan still added another carriage for her, Luo Yanjing, the maidservants, and the driving attendants. The group of eleven rode three carriages out in a grandiose manner.
Seeing that the Luo Residence was getting further and further away, Luo Qing Cen finally got out of Luo Yanqing's arms, rubbed her face with her hands, and stuck out her tongue mischievously. "It's really hard to pretend to be sick. Not only can you not walk properly, but you even have to put so much makeup on your face."
Luo Yanqing unhappily knocked on her forehead. At this moment, she also relaxed a little and said with a smile, "Wherever you go, you will only be lying in my arms. How are you not having it easy?"
Luo Qingchen stuck out her tongue again. "Brother, have you considered what to do with the book?"
Luo Yanqing shook his head, "How could it be that easy? Although I have some people on my hands, doing these things is still not safe."
"Then, what if the steward of the clan were to do it?" Luo Qingchen's eyes flickered, not too sure.
"It would be great if there was a steward who could speak. It would be much better if he could attack without anyone noticing." Luo Yanqing's words were casual, and she obviously didn't think much of them.
Luo Qingchen pursed his lips. In her memories, he truly didn't know much about the Xiang He family, and she didn't know if he could completely trust them. However, if he didn't do anything and just gave up …
