C8 Human Heart

In this family, his father was completely at the mercy of Du Yuchu. His first daughter, Luo Shuya, was just like her mother, devoid of kindness. Her youngest sister was weak and didn't have any feelings for her.

Under the Du Family's tutelage, Luo Zhiping naturally wouldn't get close to them, but because of Luo Yanqing's arduous training, he was still able to establish a good relationship with them.

Luo Zheping was naturally overjoyed as he looked at the Purple Gold Great General in the cage, whose eyes and beard were long and full of vigor, even more imposing than the last one. He affectionately patted Luo Yanqing on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, you should know your big brother's preferences the best. Tell me, what do you want this time?"

This could be considered a tacit understanding between the two of them. They knew that the Luo siblings didn't have any status in the mansion, and they couldn't get their hands on many things. Every time they got a cricket that Luo Yanqing had carefully developed, Luo Zheping would also give them some benefits.

Whether it was the ancient scrolls and paintings that Luo Yanqing had yearned for, or a weapon that fit her hand, or a piece of jewelry and cloth for Luo Qingchen, or even the fact that she wouldn't be caught eating for a month … He would not be in arrears with the real price.

Luo Zheping was the most important son of the Du Family. As long as he spoke, the Du Family would not refuse.

Not to mention that Luo Jing had always been a very perceptive person, and he had never once brought up any request that would embarrass Luo Zhiping. Even some of the more difficult ancient books were in his father's study room.

It could be said that Luo Jing's achievements in both martial arts and literature were great.

Of course, it was the same this time.

Luo Yanqing smiled somewhat embarrassedly, then he turned to Luo Zhiping, who was holding a cricket in his hand, and said, "Big Brother, I've used up the emblem ink you gave me earlier. There's also that paperweight. A few days ago, Zhaoyue mischievously broke it."

"Just these two?" Luo Zhiping nonchalantly nodded his head, and as if he felt that he was going to lose something, he reconfirmed his words.

"This …" Luo Yanqing put on a difficult expression, hesitating for a while before saying, "A few days ago, my father gave me a bottle of ink stone. If I don't use it, wouldn't it be like giving it to me?"

The first two might have some value, but for an official businessman like the Luo family, they were nothing more than common goods. In the end, however, it wasn't the same. His father had spent a lot of money to get it back, and it was only because Du Yuchu said that it could be used to encourage his son to improve himself in school that Chao Shan had endured the pain and given it away.

Of course, Luo Zheping had no interest in these things. No matter how expensive the ink stone was, to him, it was worth less than a cricket. What troubled him was that Du Yuchu nagged him last time, so he got someone to give the ink stone back to Du Yuchu. Now, he had to …

At that time, the commotion caused by this matter wasn't small either. Luo Yanqing naturally knew why Luo Zhiping was hesitating, but how could he allow him to continue hesitating? However, after being delayed for such a long time, Luo Yanqing was already on edge, afraid that Du Yuxi would take the opportunity to make a move against his concubine.

"Big brother, you know I just like these things, and you don't want them anyway. How about this, I promise I will make you a better cricket than this General Zi Jin, what do you think? "

"Better than this?" Luo Zhiping looked at the purple-gold general in his hand in disbelief.

This was already the best, what could be better than this place? If he was willing to sell it, he would have no problem selling it among those foppish young masters for a thousand silver taels.

Of course, it was only for young masters like them, who had too much money and had no money to spend. In the Southern Qi Country, a few taels of silver was already enough for a family of three to live frugally for a year.

However, after hearing Luo Yanqing's solemn words, Luo Zhiping's heart couldn't help but start to itch again. He half-heartedly brought his men to the Du Family's courtyard.

As soon as they reached the door, someone reported that Aunt Luo was in the room talking to her.

Luo Zhiping was overjoyed. He turned around and glanced at Luo Yanqing, teasing, "I heard that father and mother were preparing to help fourth sister with the wedding two days ago. Now it seems to be true."

Luo Yanqing smiled, but he didn't say anything. His hands were tightly clenched into fists under his sleeves.

Even Luo Zheping, the young master who had nothing to do and ate all day, knew of their plans?

Actually, after knowing about his father's plans, Luo Yanqing still thought that if the other party's character was precious, then he would have a good future. Actually, after knowing his father's plans, Luo Yanqing thought that if the other party's character was valuable, he would have a good future.

However, he had secretly observed these past two days while his younger sister was talking to Guan Shaoning. Although that Guan Shaoning was indeed handsome and had an extraordinary temperament, there was always an uncomfortable gloominess and calculating look in his eyes. His gaze towards Luo Qing Cen was not gentle at all.

Furthermore, he could tell that the one Guan Shaoning wanted to marry was Luo Shuya. No matter what, it was impossible for Luo Qingchen to be happy if she married him.

How could he stop this marriage or help Guan Shaoning achieve what he wanted? Luo Yanqing's manicured nails seemed to sink into his palms, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of pain.

This was not the first time he felt such a sense of helplessness. Ever since the last time Zhaoyue was almost beaten to death by Du Yuchu, he secretly swore that even if he had to sacrifice his life, he wouldn't let his little sister suffer anymore.

Hearing Luo Zhiping's voice, Luo Yanqing came back to reality and saw that someone was already knocking on the door.

It was Lady Du's confidante, Senior Servant Li, who opened the door. When she saw Luo Zhi's smiling face, she immediately turned gloomy. "Eldest Young Master, why is Third Young Master here as well?"

Luo Yan Jing didn't say anything. Luo Zhiping was used to their attitude towards him, so he didn't think anything was wrong. As he walked, he said, "I have something to discuss with mother." As he spoke, he saw Aunt Luo kneeling at the side. He couldn't help but feel surprised. "What's going on?"

"Nothing?" It was obvious that the Du Family didn't want their son to participate in the inner court's women's battle. They could only smile and ask, "Why are you back so early today?"

"I have something that I would like to discuss with mother." Luo Zhiping glanced at Luo Yanqing and saw him looking at Aunt Luo with a pained expression. He couldn't help but inwardly sigh.

They were both people, children, and although there was a difference in status, he could understand it. If one day someone made his mother kneel like that, he would feel the same pain in his heart.
