C23 Pure Filial Piety

If King Father and Mother Consort were still alive and still looking at him with smiles on their faces, how could he have suffered so much in his previous life?! How could she be played by the ruthless hand on the throne, becoming the victim of Nan Jinglong's wangfei and political struggle? How could he just treat a gloomy and heartless man as a lifesaver? He would sacrifice everything to end up in a cold palace for ten years and wait for the result of a bowl of poison?!

Today, why would he deliberately act out this scene!

Princess Liyang looked at his pitiful look and retracted his trembling finger. His expression became more and more gentle as he looked at his son sitting next to his and threw him a look. Chiang Xiong then nodded to himself.

"Second Uncle knows you're a good child. The ground is cold, don't kneel anymore. Hurry and get up."

The coldness in his eyes became deeper. He didn't immediately stand up, but he slowly raised his smile with some difficulty, as if he was trying to make his grandmother happy. He inadvertently lifted his sleeve to wipe away the tears on his face.

However, with a wave of his sleeve, the sackcloth underneath was revealed!

Madame Zhen looked at the three of them as if they were three generations old, extremely kind, and knew that Chiang Luoyu didn't raise his head to call for her just now because he was trying his best not to cry, which wasn't disrespectful in any way. He was full of pure filial piety, so she completely quelled her intention to talk about what had happened just now, gritted her teeth, and swallowed the anger in her heart. Just as she was about to take a sip from her teacup, she noticed Chiang Luoyu's linen robe from the corner of her eyes, and immediately cried out in surprise.

"You … Why are you still wearing your mourning garments?! "

Great Loong customs could only be worn when one lost the filial piety of one's kin.

However, Chiang Luoyu was still too young to be crowned, so he could not inherit the manor and had to stay in the Wu Steel Manor. Logically speaking, when he wore filial piety, even if he wore plain clothes and was covered in hemp, it would still be said that he had some bad luck. The Chiang Luoyu of his previous life thought about this and did not do so.

However, it was also because of this that Princess Liyang accidentally discovered him on their first meeting. This caused Princess Liyang to be dissatisfied with him and Chiang Xiong began to look down on him, thinking that he was too filial.

Therefore, this time, he should at least be smart. He knew that Princess Liyang would rather be unlucky than have his grandson wear filial piety to show his respect for his late eldest son. What's more, he respected King Father very much in his heart. It wasn't unnatural for him to wear filial clothes at all, not to mention that it was just a set of filial clothes.

As for Madame Zhen … Was this surprising reaction a surprise?

Chiang Luoyu sneered in his heart, but his hand that was wiping away his tears immediately shrank back, as if he could hear the unhappiness in Madame Zhen's words. His face also showed an uneasy expression, and he hurriedly stuffed the hemp back into his clothes.

"Grandmother, please forgive me. Grandson is not yet full of filial piety... She would never dare to take off her mourning dress so easily. If her grandmother and Second Uncle were afraid that Luoyu had offended her, then Luoyu … "…"

When he said these words, his voice contained a bit of difficulty and heartache, as if as long as Princess Liyang and Chiang Xiong in front of him said that he minded, he would take Sister Shu and leave Liu Steel Manor. Princess Liyang, who was sitting on the couch, had a gentle and loving look in his eyes, mixed with a trace of satisfaction.

"Child, what nonsense are you saying? It was only human to be filial to his parents. What was there to be afraid of? They were all his family, so he had to hurry up. Didn't you just say that the ground was cold, don't kneel and ruin you? Look at your weak body, it looks like it's going to fall if you blow it, and you're still the crown prince … Come sit at Grandmother's place and let Grandmother have a good look. "

When Chiang Luoyu heard these words that were mixed with satisfaction, he knew that he had done the right thing. The smile on his lips flickered for a moment, and when he raised his head to get up, he glanced at Madame Zhen who was sitting at the side with some apprehension.

"But just now … "Second Aunt …"
